LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Esc by Crumpet 2014-04-28T07:53:00

This is absolutely great.
The best game I have played so far.
The puzzles might be a bit frustrating, but that somehow fits the tone of this game.
Great work!

Spiel-Flache by omaha 2014-04-28T05:35:00

I really like the graphics of the game, nice job!

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Toy House Attack by floorman 2014-12-11T04:55:00

Had good fun playing this, but the box-pushing physics are very wonky. :)

Offscreen Blackout by peacegiverman 2014-12-09T17:13:00

Excellent use of the theme and a really nice concept!
I would love to have this as a mobile game :)

Snow Problem by TehSkull 2014-12-11T15:27:00

Holy shit I love the style of this thing! :D
Absolutely gorgeous!
Just some things I would change (personal preference):
Make the movements in the minigame "blocky" so they corespond to the pixely graphics, and give the minigame a pixely font.
Also I don't know if it is intentional, but I found some enemies were impossible to shoot, because they lingered at the lower edge of the screen. Further than the snowman could move down.

One Screen Worship by Gungnir 2014-12-11T15:47:00

One of the best entries I have played so far! :)
Though the basics are similar to our entry, the mechanics differ quite a bit in the end.
I really do like your characters better :D

The Machinorium by Joror 2014-12-13T14:07:00

I like that kind of "Papers Please" approach of your game. :)

Rudolph by TijmenTio 2014-12-16T21:32:00

Marvelous entry! Great job :)

Toy workshop by StMatn 2014-12-09T19:30:00

I really like these click-drag-plan kind of games. Not much to say about it except: well done!
It just could use at least some placeholder sounds.

I also fixed the issue you had with my jam entry "Banana TV". You can try it again if you don't mind :)

Only a Test by PoV 2014-12-12T23:54:00

Great graphics, but seriously... the sound is a bit annoying.

Dragon Slayer 89 by acro 2014-12-10T19:11:00

Awesome! Just that. Gimme more :D

The Broadenlands by Wolve 2014-12-13T13:33:00

I really enjoyed this one :)

SCREEN HEAD by NickZangus 2014-12-23T12:08:00

Really great concept! I hope that this evolves into a full game some day :D

The Unlikely Adventures of Peggy LeDig by Mark Venturelli 2014-12-13T12:47:00

I love the art style and the concept! Put it on the Google PlayStore please :D

Kill Them All by Submundo Games 2014-12-11T05:01:00

Really good graphics and very nice music! :)

Banana TV by NPException 2014-12-09T06:52:00

@SirRicecake: I'm sorry for that! Did it spit out any additional information?

Banana TV by NPException 2014-12-09T18:47:00

@StMatn: thanks for the picture! I believe that is a problem that depends on your graphics card. Some cards do not support textures that have either width or height not being a power of 2.
I'l look into fixing this.

Banana TV by NPException 2014-12-09T19:20:00

@StMatn: The issue should be fixed now. You could try again :)

Stagehand by Polyknight_+_dragonGlitch 2014-12-21T08:40:00

Just beautiful, a very nice Idea! :D

Flag Collector by RedDragonLaser 2014-12-14T15:08:00

You need to give permission to everyone that has the link to the file, otherwise we can't play it

Colony Rescuer by TheCams 2014-12-13T17:29:00

One extra star because I currently lead the leaderboard :D
Nice game and concept, but the turning of the ship felt too slow and the ship could be a bit faster in general, imo.
Had much fun anyway :D

Snowman Crossfire! by Crazy046 2014-12-09T17:21:00

The music is really nice, but the controlls are kind of weird. They would feel better if WASD would move the player over the field without relation to the direction he is facing.

Avian Avoidance by cleitoneldorn 2014-12-13T00:11:00

Hehe, that was fun :D

Piano Racer by davidcollado 2014-12-15T17:16:00

Holy shit this is addictive! The controls feel just right, and the music is perfect for this game.
Would you mind sharing the source for this gem?

Piano Racer by davidcollado 2014-12-15T17:27:00

Also, could you try working around Avira Antivirus recognising your game as a TR/Dropper.Gen virus?
I just ignored AV for the sake of LD, but this might keep many many people from trying and rating this masterpiece.

Free Runner by crewderek 2014-12-15T18:41:00

I like this game and it's dodge mechanics! Had much fun aiming for the highscore, but did not manage to get farther than 66 blocks ^^
I would recommend that you make the movements smoother, as they are very "jumpy" atm. And in addition to that, I think the game would play even nicer if the "movement speed" stayed the same throughout and did not increase with the running speed.

Deep Breath by Crumpet 2014-12-15T18:51:00

Very smooth gameplay! This game was extreme fun, definitely one of my favourites. :)

The Crane by garat 2014-12-10T05:01:00

The idea is pretty nice and the controlls work well, except when the crane gets stuck to the edge of the screen. Maybe you could make an invisible border so it can only come so close to it.

Build A Turret by MechanicalLife 2014-12-15T19:35:00

I realy like the idea, but I found it really hard to design a good turret program without any chance to try it out first, or at least restarting the current level without loosing my program.

Room Nr.6 by PriorBlue 2014-12-15T19:18:00

Amazing game! It made my brain hurt, well done! :D

Joof by Joof 2014-12-15T18:03:00

Okay, since most people can't run your game:
I packed a Win32 executable and a .love file from your sources. (You can link to those files for your entry directly, or store them in your own Google Drive if you want)

The windows version and .love file are available here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B49K7HGuVWH7NWtKQTNCTTVOUE0&usp=sharing

PS: I also compressed your soundfiles to OGGs, so I did not need hours to upload the files ;)

Joof by Joof 2014-12-15T18:07:00

I really like the concept, the player can only see the top left level variant, so it's hard to tell why the stickman just pops out of existence if you don't know that there are 4 versions of the level at once. I just saw it because I took a look at your source code.
Never the less, I like the idea, and you should keep working on this. :)

RustPunk by AncientAvocado 2014-12-13T12:22:00

Marvelous. I löve it :D

Robert's Run by Xenolupus 2014-12-17T17:16:00

208878 Level 9
Pretty nice game! But now I dont want to run through all the levels again ^^

Adventure Smasher by Windmill Games 2014-12-11T15:36:00

Great game!
Another good example of what people can do with the LÖVE engine. :)
A score multiplier for multiple consecutive kills would be really nice.
And I have to take a look on how you did the dynamic lighting. Looks nice!

Fabulous Escape by HolyBlackCat 2014-12-11T16:11:00

well polished, top game. I can't really say much about it. I love it. Really good take on the theme.

CERT(Fixed) by rd127p77 2014-12-13T17:41:00

Man this game is hard... But since it is intended that way, I count this as a plus.
Good job! :)

Cubical Cube by Sutivu 2014-12-16T21:14:00

Brilliant concept!

Fill the bar by SMASH BASH 2014-12-21T17:29:00

Shut up and take my stars!
Look Simba, five stars everywhere

It's SnowMazing!!! by Sharky 2014-12-11T15:13:00

Very solid game, imo! A decent difficulty and much fun to play. The only thing I would change is that there is no "safe zone" at the start of the second level.

Note: Thanks for the info on our game! I completely disabled FSAA for the Windows version now, so it should run now. If you don't mind, please give it another try: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=28802
If it still does not work, could you leave me a link to a screenshot of the error in my comments? Thanks in advance! :)

It's SnowMazing!!! by Sharky 2014-12-11T20:42:00

Hi! Would you mind trying Banana TV again? I removed the use of Canvases (which are mentioned in the error you got) and hope that it should work for you now:
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=28802

Layerd by nuno 2014-12-10T19:53:00

Now thats a really nice mechanic!

WACKHACK by plump 2014-12-20T18:46:00

Uh I love the graphics style and the audio! Only managed to survive for 11 seconds so far :D

Mechanism by p1x3lruckus 2014-12-13T00:02:00

Very well done game!

Gravity Ain't The Same by jdCarew 2014-12-13T12:43:00

Great puzzle game! Would have been nice to see smooth movements when changing gravity or removing blocks.

Encadenado by Deal With It 2014-12-13T13:45:00

I like the mechanic and the nice art style :)

Simtech by TeamClubMate 2014-12-09T17:29:00

This is easily one of my favourites! :)
I love the concept and will definitely keep playing this for a while. Might even try to contribute on GitHub. ^^
Just one drawback: It's pretty steep learning curve if you dont know what to do at the beginning, imo.

Super Pong Invader Stuff by PentaHelix 2014-12-14T16:36:00

Very nice concept! :)

Block Party EGOS by schuranator 2014-12-13T14:12:00

Damn this is hard to play, but a nice new touch on the classic concept!

Game System by Catwheel 2014-12-14T16:05:00

Really cool concept, I really enjoyed playing your game! :)

STACK by desov2 2014-12-13T12:39:00

The concept is actually pretty neat, imo. You should just explain it better, as it is hard to understand what to do in the game.

Cosplay PhotoBooth Simulator Turbo 2000 by Unai 2014-12-13T12:12:00

Cool concept and graphics!

Mechs Knight by Surfista 2014-12-11T16:26:00

I got the same error. Leave me a comment on my entry if you uploaded a fix. I'll try again then.

Two Steps from Darkness by Ashalah 2014-12-11T16:22:00

I get an error message, saying that "OpenColorIO.dll" is missing. I take a look at google.

Two Steps from Darkness by Ashalah 2014-12-11T16:25:00

ignore the last comment. wanted to write that in another tab :D

Two Steps from Darkness by Ashalah 2014-12-11T16:33:00

Just... perfect in everything it tries to do, imo!
Seriously. The level design is nuts! LOVE IT!
The art style! You are a genius. 5 Stars everywhere. Shut up and take my money!

Remote Control by Louisload 2014-12-11T14:49:00

The music is soooo strange, but very fitting! :)
The best use of the theme I have seen so far!

Space Opera by SirRicecake 2014-12-10T19:41:00

Well done! Classic genre, fresh interpretation. I love it! :)

Fadin by XTremEive 2014-12-10T11:43:00

I really like that game, it has an unusual mechanic, and I like that! Thumbs up!

Case #31 by Pestel Crew 2014-12-10T20:06:00

a masterpiece!

Daedal by Rouquemoute 2014-12-12T23:46:00

Great idea and graphics!

Happy Ludumdare by Halfbus 2014-12-13T17:21:00

I hate horror games. They are scary. And you did a really good job at reminding me why I usually avoid them. Well done! :)

Hackception by Gemberkoekje 2014-12-11T19:33:00

So the graphics are really nice, but it's waaay to laggy. I feel that the controlls are completely responsive, but thats just too much forced screen update lag.
Besides from that a great game and very nice interpretation of the theme!

Labyrinth by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2014-12-13T12:57:00

My favourite entry so far! Wonderful! Oh how I love the music! I don't know what to do, except ending each sentence with an exclamation mark!

To Fight The Sea by BretHudson 2014-12-11T16:16:00

The music was the best I heard in this LD so far! :)

Orion by feiss 2014-12-23T10:46:00

Lovely thing!

LD35 — Shapeshift

windowframe by managore 2016-04-20T16:30:00

Gorgeous!

Shape Shifters Inc by roxflame 2016-04-25T17:44:00

Now that took a colorful dark turn at the end :D
Great game, great audio!

BOT RACE by NickZangus 2016-04-19T16:05:00

Very very entertaining to play. For me the difficulty was just right.

Corners by Drkr 2016-04-21T18:30:00

A very pleasant surprise! It was well worth my time. Very good job! :)

ShapeShifter by NPException 2016-04-20T17:41:00

@nintendoeats: yeah, I used that for debugging purposes and forgot to remove it before submitting. ^^

BlobWall by Sophie Houlden 2016-05-02T17:01:00

Very cool game! Sad that I can't rate though...

For everyone interested: Hold down Space to "draw" with the blob

Particle Shift by pi_pi3 2016-04-25T17:25:00

What a brilliant piece! 10/10 would play again. Most of the levels I was just butt-clenching like "Please don't move now ... OH YOU FUCKER!" :D
Excellent work!

SteamPunkPuzzleGame by 3T3A 2016-04-25T16:38:00

Very nice game! The controls took a bit to getting used to, but I realy liked the concept. I'm sad that there wasn't enough time for more levels. ^^

Shapeshift Flood by RegaCaska 2016-04-25T16:57:00

Very cool game and concept. An AI opponent would be nice. :)

Basebird by dvdfu 2016-04-19T12:52:00

Fellow Löver :D
Very good entry, the most polished I have seen so far. I realy love the music and art style. The controls feel superb!

Shapes by Ardy 2016-05-02T17:10:00

I could not play it. My Antivirus insists that the .exe contains a trojan. :(

Mimic by Chaserbrown 2016-04-23T10:03:00

Very good work! Too hard for me to even beat the first level after the tutorial, but a lot of fun to try nontheless :D

Out of shape by Osaft 2016-04-19T13:43:00

Was surprisingly fun to play! I did not expect that from the main screenshot. Good work! :)

Continental Trade Route Association by Swedishpancaces 2016-04-19T12:03:00

Am I doing something wrong? I connected two towns, and clicked on the "Hire Traders" Button and hired a trader. But I don't get any money and I don't know where the trader is. How exactly do I start in this game?

Shape Invasion by Tchaikovsky Lins 2016-04-24T07:42:00

For a first game, this is pretty well done! I had a lot of fun with it :D
Imo the difficulty could increase a bit faster, but maybe that's just a personal preference.

Good job!

Space Shifter by SaxOps1 2016-04-23T07:25:00

I realy loved the puzzles and gameplay! Top work :)

Shape Escape by WeaverDeveloper 2016-04-19T11:26:00

This is absolutely brilliant! I love it :D
I realy hope that you will create more levels :)

DNA Madness by OveRMolo 2016-04-19T20:04:00

Hilarious :D
Best Music of all the games I've played so far :D

Outterspace Minions Game by gandoulff 2016-04-19T13:59:00

That would be soo much fun with a bunch of friends. You should try to expand on that game :)

FiveCubeFlight by Toonhawk 2016-04-21T18:37:00

Very challenging and really good take on the theme! I'm enjoying it.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Don't be Greedy! by Compufreak 2017-12-04T07:54:46Z

First of all congrats on your first game from me as well! This is game seems to be aimed at people a lot more skilled than I am. Wasn't able to beat a single level ^^ Mechanics are fine, just that the difference in weight could be a bit larger, and the basic jump could be a bit higher for my personal taste (and lack of skill). I'm a bit sad that picking the gatling gun is too greedy to complete any of the levels. :D One thing that threw me off for quite a while is the sliding mechanic in Level 2. I was expecting to always slide a bit, but when landing a jump without holding a movement key, the character stops immediately. Since I expected to continue sliding, I always pressed the opposite direction of the jump to slow down the slide after landing. But since the character did not slide by itself after the landing, I immediately walked off the platform that I just jumped on.

Soldier on! Also make sure to keep an eye on the Mini-LDs between the main events, they have pretty interesting themes and approaches sometimes as well!
