LD21 — Escape

Cityscape by mattdev 2011-08-25T00:32:00

Not bad, can be a bit overwhelming too soon, maybe impossible XD but I dig the idea, time didn't allow for good balance but I hope you can work on that later.

epacse by Marach 2011-08-29T15:54:00

This engine is pretty impressive, I liked the main idea. Some puzzles are a bit tedious but still tolerable. I think adding better control when you blast particles would help, or some cursor that indicates the direction, as it's not easy to tell what direction you are gonna blast them towards otherwise. Good idea, solid implementation!

Escape the Space Nazis by Staggy 2011-08-25T20:31:00

The basic idea isn't bad, the execution wasn't very good. I hope you can work on it more and you may have a good game here! :*

Earth Escape by Vladp995 2011-08-25T21:15:00

This was cool! The time pressure kinda killed the exploration sense I was starting to enjoy. Game with more levels (screens) so far :)

Escape Artist by johnfn 2011-08-27T21:33:00

I really liked the idea, screen size was kind of a bad choice (I know you can make it smaller, but that was way too small) I dunno about the dead bodies, I couldn't make it that far, is there some tip to get past the first screen with the 3 enemies?

Brine by morganquirk 2011-08-25T02:54:00

Good visuals and atmosphere. I felt a bit uneasy in there, maybe that was the point? A bit monotonous at times too, but overall pretty cool. :)

Shapechanger (incomplete) by Goldendice 2011-08-25T02:43:00

I hope you can finish this up someday, I think you have something going on, it just needs lots of more time to be developed. Keep it up! Nice music btw

Persephone by thonk 2011-08-24T16:58:00

I liked how you managed to add dialogs without pausing the action. I missed the sound, but I know it's tough with so little time... Game mechanics are cool too, good job! :)

Red-Line to Shady Grove by alect 2011-08-24T17:26:00

Pretty original, nice retro arcade feel, I would love if it had some music and also I didn't like that you had to use your mouse to go to the next level, a key press would've been much better. But, pretty awesome! Cheers! :D

Escape Run by erko 2011-08-25T00:14:00

Very simple, but a good start. A simple finished entry is always better than an amazing unfinished plan. Keep it up!

YRGBO by nuria 2011-08-24T16:07:00

Sorry about that, download link worked for me when I tried it, I added a mirror now (https://sites.google.com/site/orugames/yrgbo.zip), please try again, thanks!

YRGBO by nuria 2011-08-24T17:29:00

Writing a walkthrough right now, to be posted soon. :) you gotta pay attention to all the clues. To exit the game use ALT+f4

YRGBO by nuria 2011-08-24T23:08:00

Walkthrough done: http://orugames.com/yrgbo-walkthrough/

Press Space! by mcatominey 2011-08-25T20:57:00

Not bad, isn't too fun for long though. Why is the file so big? Now that's a mystery... :) thanks for finishing on time.

Evasion by MacTuitui 2011-08-30T17:03:00

Couldn't get this to run. BAT file didn't work, running JAR directly: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from j1.01.jar (Win7, 64-bit)

Escape from Room 32 by djanatyn 2011-08-29T16:04:00

I agree the smooth movement would make it better. As it is, the enemy is really hard to dodge and makes the game a bit annoying. The idea isn't that bad so it's worth working on it a bit. Cool tune!

Bubba's Escape by Puffi 2011-08-25T02:32:00

Great concept! Simple to play, addictive, fun. Probably the LD21 game I've enjoyed the most so far. Congrats! :D

Ryan's Labrynth by RyanPridgeon 2011-08-27T23:05:00

The engine is pretty good, I like how the level renders, not allowing you to see all the screen but little by little. The game could use a strafe button too. Nice skill showcase!

Stratus by RichMakeGame 2011-08-26T00:35:00

Supreme graphics and style! :)

Mangore by Fountain 2011-08-25T23:42:00

Looks great and rates high on humor, I'm not too sure I would really call it a game though.

Escape The Void by NaturallyMade 2011-08-30T17:37:00

This one was cool. Nice game/level design skills. Good looks. music was good albeit tracks were a bit too short. Some collision problems but that's it. Good job! ;)

NO ESCAPE by kato9 2011-08-28T15:15:00

Please, make a game next time

Beetle escape by jazeker 2011-08-29T16:13:00

Nice graphics! The press up on title screen to start is little intuitive, I was pressing everything but up never crossed my mind as arrows were used to move cursor.

Arenatron by ExciteMike 2011-08-25T20:51:00

Original and well executed, I agree with the field of view comment. Good little game. :D

LD22 — Alone

Monaxia by bildramer 2012-01-01T07:00:00

I like the style with the small sprites and the slow bullets, it just needs more variety to make it fun.

Accident by AbelToy 2012-01-09T05:36:00

Cool game, the jumping sound is a bit annoying and I got trapped a couple of times on the second level (which made me stop playing) but it's still a nice game, good job!

kuudou by summaky 2012-01-08T16:12:00

Short but moody, I like how you tried to confuse the player with the bats. Interesting concept! Needs an ending though.

ASSAULT THE DARK FORTRESS by FrankieSmileShow 2011-12-21T05:04:00

I really like the vibe of this, great job, I hope you can finish it up!

KIitty by Wiering 2012-01-08T17:20:00

Nice graphics! You gotta plan better next time, it's key in this kind of competitions.

Quiet, Please! by ladron 2011-12-21T05:21:00

awesome, very enjoyable, this has a lot of style, you gotta try it.

Always Alone by Jake Birkett 2011-12-21T03:50:00

Not a very fun game but the story was funny :)

Soliloquy by ratking 2011-12-20T23:51:00

I quit after the splitting, not pleasant. I liked the mood, graphics + laughter reminded me of killer 7, which is good!

Village Bastard by Orangy Tang 2012-01-07T16:51:00

Cool game! I liked the color choice and the puzzles, the village seems unnecessarily big and some of the puzzles could be a bit less annoying (some require you to repeat the same action several times). You could use less keys as well (2 keys for talking?). Still, great job!

Courage Quest by triplefox 2011-12-22T15:20:00

Fun and interesting, a bit annoying you can only carry 1 item at a time though. Good job!

A.L.O.N.E: Always Lonely on Newyear's Eve by qrunchmonkey 2012-01-07T17:12:00

I'm like the anti-player for this kind of games, Not my kind at all, lots of trial and error and stuff, I couldn't even use or get to the staircase. Still I found it a bit annoying that you are reminded constantly to type help to access the help menu. Like every time you input some command. Just have that message written on the side.

Sinkhole by Shaun Inman 2012-01-08T18:57:00

Cool graphics, good mood, the mechanics are interesting, loved how the enemies approached from the dark and disappeared under the light, feels kinda scary. Good entry!

Arzea by arkeus 2012-01-08T17:58:00

I'm not a big fan of anything that requires me to press the mouse button quickly and constantly, so I couldn't get far (a shoot button would be nice). Seems polished and large which is great given the time limit. Congrats!

You Don't Need To Be Alone by SusanTheCat 2012-01-01T20:53:00

I like the whole concept, this is similar to my game and I certainly think I can borrow some of your ideas :p

I really hope you can finish this up, it has a lot of potential if you can dedicate more time to it.

I agree with all the comments before mine and would also suggest you could make the transitions between some scenes less abrupt (especially the music changes).

Seems like it pays off to have kids after all, you now have a little army of game devs working for you heh heh way to go!

Lost in the Woods by ratboy2713 2012-01-09T21:39:00

Buggish. I would get constant blank screens and the music keeps on playing after closing the tab where the game was running.

The Knock by Jorjon 2011-12-21T19:48:00

Nice mood, but same here, didn't know you could move with the arrows. I couldn't click there now, too fast.

Someone To Love by marudziik 2012-01-01T19:07:00

I like the mood and the music and how talkative the cat is without repeating itself. The controls make it hard to jump on those small platforms, also the blue color is hard too see when you play this during the day but overall it's a nice little game, congrats :)

I Wish the Theme was Kittens by Doft 2011-12-20T05:51:00

I like the depth effect on the stars

Duke Ludum Forever by Apogee 2011-12-20T19:35:00

lameo -_-

Singing Zombies by bzizizi 2012-01-09T21:50:00

good looking game, the idea isn't bad, but needs more time to be executed better. Sound is good but the music loop was too short and got tiring quickly. I would love to see a shoot key added, constantly clicking the mouse button is uncomfortable to some of us. good work!

Alone in the Dungeon by guzzungo 2012-01-08T18:10:00

I really like the concept, this could be a good base for a rogue-like game. I think it would be better if you inverted the colors (so anything outside the circle is black -it helps the you-are-in-a-dark-dungeon vibe-). Nice!

Adventures of One by Drebin 2011-12-28T18:23:00

I like the idea of the engine, of course you didn't have the time to implement it well (normal, no one does). But with more work this could turn out pretty well. Keep it up ;D

Lonely Island by sanojian 2011-12-21T03:42:00

I like the game mechanics, I think they could fit a RTS or tower defense game very well. Pretty good!

Forever Alone by sauronz 2011-12-20T04:38:00

I liked the movement of the ship too and the particle effects

Alone in your mind by Username8979 2011-12-28T18:33:00

:/

Enslaving Davement by Sean Hogan (anodyne/even the ocean) 2011-12-28T18:44:00

cool music, game made not much sense. You shouldn't use a different key for every action. It was really annoying to have to press Y after dying to restart because it makes you reposition your hands on the keyboard every time. Put more time into planning, so things turn out better next time, congrats on finishing!

Paper Town by quill18 2011-12-28T19:03:00

Audio, visuals and notes combined well to create a good creepy mood. I'm not totally sure what the point is, the city is so repetitive, big and endless it creates a feeling of uneasiness. Probably that was the point, and it totally succeeded at that. Not a fun game, but a good experience. One of the best I've tried so far, congrats!

LD24 — Evolution

Dinosaur Survival Bash!! by Orni 2012-08-28T21:46:00

Very good graphics! The controls were not good though, I don't think using the mouse was all that necessary. In general a cool little game, well done!

My Pairs and Me by Evilion 2012-08-29T15:19:00

I didn't get what the point was, it has a very unique style, though. Good experience :D

EvFighters by FrederickK 2012-08-27T05:28:00

I think the camera spins way too fast while the character is initially too slow, so it's a bit hard to control the action. Seems like a good base for a bigger game, congrats on finishing! ;D Also, change your link to say Web instead of Windows so more people get to play!

Detective Darwin by jarnik 2012-09-02T16:59:00

I didn't get the punch/pet thing either. The game was, however, very charming and those aliens look pretty cool.

Aggrandize by phaze0 2012-09-17T17:24:00

No android. Try to have a more popular format so we can play and rate it.

Cosmogonie by Spotline 2012-08-29T03:23:00

Not much of a game here, but visually impressive. The audio is awesome too. Well done, man!

eukaryotic. by pinkmonkeyhead 2012-08-28T22:15:00

Cool intro! I like tower defense games, this one is very basic due to limited time, I hope you can work on expanding it more! Good job!

Hunt'em! by Zamando 2012-09-17T18:52:00

Great visuals and audio! I like the twist on Pacman, however, maybe it needs some instructions. My computer is old so it ran a bit choppy, but I enjoyed it. Well done!

Antvolution by Zaxuhe 2012-08-27T16:21:00

It says it's not a valid Win32 application and won't let me run it. :( (I'm on Windows XP SP3)

Slime Groove by cacciatc 2012-08-27T15:56:00

Crashed on Firefox twice, the last one froze my PC. :(

My Sword Is Faster Than Your Bullet by lekochen 2012-08-29T15:22:00

I agree it's way too fast. With some balance could end being a fun game. Good job! :)

evolving by pjchardt 2012-08-28T01:50:00

The basic game mechanic is cool, reminded me of Gish somehow. I agree the controls can be improved. Some variety would help too, overall solid entry! - You shouldn't update your compo entry, that should be left untouched, but you can add a link to a post compo version with improvements.

Darwin Games 2012 by Bemmu 2012-08-27T05:47:00

The creatures look pretty cool, first time I see something like that in Flash. The game needs to be more interactive though. Good to see an original idea! ;D

LimiT by Sakuyan 2012-08-27T05:56:00

Great graphics! I know the frame is part of the game, but the design is a bit distracting with those gradients. It had some bugs with the jumping that prevented me from totally enjoying the game. Needs balancing, the bar runs out too fast! In general it's a nice idea, I hope you can dedicate some more time to polish it up a bit, could be an awesome game. Congrats! :D

Oculus Battalion by Maxium 2012-08-29T19:20:00

The mouse turning was too fast. Especially the vertical axis was too sensitive. The slime looks like the slime from Zelda II, so that's cool :p. Nice game, will try the post-compo version now.

Paradigm Shift by LuizHGMonclar 2012-08-28T02:18:00

Great intro! I didn't enjoy as much the "action scenes" though, they were not as special. So improving them or making them shorter/easier would be good as people are here for that other part of the game. Good job, though!! :D

DNA by KEFIR 2012-08-28T17:34:00

Cool! I really liked this game, good use of the theme, fun and entertaining. you could use some clouds or textured sky so you can notice you are moving when you are flying. Congrats!

Mutate Now! by goerp 2012-09-17T18:35:00

Great visuals, animation and mood! The game was a bit too simple, but with some more time and work it's got potential for something great. Quite charming!

Cellvolution by thewiseguy99 2012-08-28T03:51:00

Good mood, cool sprites. The game's a bit simple and repetitive, so I hope you can improve on that. Also try to not use red and green colors in the same tone, some people can't tell them apart. Good job!!

The Origin by donmilham 2012-09-17T17:53:00

I thought the taking notes mechanic was gonna be used somehow, maybe you ran out of time? As it is, it's useless, but I think you had something in mind for it. There's a lot of charm in this game for some reason, music, graphics, etc. Reminded me of the good ol' NES times. :)

It Will Grow by madameberry 2012-08-28T02:03:00

A good and original idea. The game runs kinda choppy for me on Firefox. This would really benefit from some relaxing soundtrack, that would improve the experience. I never figured out how to use the scissors. Good to see people trying new ideas, eco-friendly to boot, cool!

Moore's Game by rwos 2012-08-29T15:31:00

Nice idea, would be cool if it was time based a la Wario Ware, so you just get to play each game some seconds and then to the next. Overall a good entry, cheers :)

Unnatural selection by rubna 2012-09-17T18:21:00

I hope you keep working on this, pretty good base you have here. I'm a sucker for SimCity so I really liked this. Great entry, keep it up!

Die, Motherfuckers! by Senekis 2012-08-27T05:37:00

Needs more interactivity and to be clearer. The main idea is original, so kudos for that. :D

Mutation Flight by PaulSB 2012-08-28T22:03:00

Good idea! The character is a bit hard to control though. It was annoying to have to grab the mouse when leveling up. Good effort, well done!

Evolver Worm by PixelPusher27 2012-08-28T19:25:00

A bit glitchy but cute, well done! :)

Socket City by SethR 2012-08-28T04:01:00

Cool game! Original too. I agree with the asteroids being too dark. Everything else seems pretty good, great job!

Caveman's Quest for Food by jfroco 2012-09-17T17:19:00

Very good concept, I think the big level (3rd?) had some design flaws which made it unnecessarily frustrating, but overall pretty solid!

Fantasy Map Tactics by McFunkypants 2012-08-27T17:00:00

Great idea! Very few strategy games are as easy to pick up like this one. The graphics and style are great. I had some performance issues, the game lagged a bit for me.

I think the interface can be improved a little, maybe showing your characters on the bottom instead of the next/prev unit buttons. Also when you change units should be clearer which is the active one. I'm kind of amazed you managed to make all this in 48 hours. Strategy games are usually hard to code. Congrats!

Boxy the Boxcat in Evolution Escapades by matthias_zarzecki 2012-08-29T19:33:00

Good to see a sandbox game, cool idea. The movement was a bit slow and the music was totally annoying. I liked the main concept, though. Good job!

Tiimmmeeee by matheod 2012-09-17T17:11:00

I liked the main concept, the trial and error approach to this game is a bit frustrating. Especially since you need to restart the whole game if you waste your battery in the wrong place. Good entry, keep it up!

Explore, Evolve, Escape! by kirbytails7 2012-09-02T16:51:00

I really enjoyed this one! I think the menu needs some work, it's annoying to have to cycle through all options just to exit and things could just be clearer.

Another problem is that you need to be so close to the edge of the screen to make the scrolling advance, which reduced considerably how far ahead you could see.

Overall great game, I had lots of fun with this one!

The Origin of Valmalvax by nuria 2012-08-27T16:06:00

Hey, thank you! The third stat is size, it will make your creature bigger. You need to eat corpses to increase it. ;)

Meow for MUTATION! by marudziik 2012-09-17T18:43:00

Good and interesting concept but I couldn't help feeling it all was too random, maybe clearer instructions could help. Nice visuals and audio, too much text. Props for trying something new!

Evolution is exciting by nili 2012-09-17T17:23:00

Props for trying something new, but you need to add more interactivity. Make it feel like a game. I just watched doing nothing 'till I got bored :(

Candy Hill by CaptainIcy 2012-08-27T19:05:00

Nice little game, I like the graphics and the randomness. I think all candies should have the same basic design, though. When the tall one appears you don't know if it's good or bad at first. Also, it should be the other way around, you should avoid candy and eat tomatoes! :p

Evoland by ncannasse 2012-08-28T03:37:00

mirror it, please.

RED PLANET by BuffaloPhil 2012-08-27T17:24:00

The mood created by the audio and graphics was great. A nice little tale! Well done!

Dissolution by Sergey Mohov 2012-08-28T17:05:00

Good graphics! Took a while to figure out what to do, you get killed really fast. It was annoying that I had to read that text box every time I played from the start. But seems like a good start to build it from there. :)
