LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Trigonoweapon by myachin 2015-04-21T22:13:00

Top notch game! I hope this wins! Absolutely fantastic mood to it, the gameplay is quite unique and original and the graphics are gorgeous. Love it!

Randomsmith by Catman 2015-04-20T17:36:00

One of the top submissions! This could have been an endless game too. Funny, simple and very enjoyable. Funny combinations and the names get pretty weird, I made a thing called "Peanases"or something like that. ~430 was my best score. Thank you for this game.

Nail Gun Hero by rujo 2015-04-21T21:46:00

Difficult, but fun game! Like the simplicity of it.

Rogue Planet by tompudding 2015-04-20T13:42:00

Very hard, but did it after a couple tries! Interesting concept and it plays well. Follows the theme too! Only downside was the sounds, they were a bit annoying after a while. It was bearable though, so I got through it and had fun :) For me it said the pyconfig thing too, but it started anyways.

Mable: The Journey by tripleVisionGames 2015-04-20T18:07:00

Very moody game! It took a while to understand the mechanic and how to use it, but I managed. It was fun and the art style is great!

Vacuum Hero by Evgiz 2015-04-21T21:20:00

Pretty cool game, I really like the feel of it!

Gravitron by Zener 2015-04-21T22:01:00

Didn't really follow the theme, but the game itself is good. I liked the concept. The feel of the gameplay is a bit awkward and would need some tuning. Good submit still.

Avian Days by esayitch 2015-04-20T14:50:00

Very difficult! I didn't finish it, as I sucked at it, but I did play enough to give a rating. This is an actual game and what a really well made game it is. I have nothing bad to say (of course there is some tweaking, but still).

Bookshelf Brawl by TeamQuadratic 2015-04-27T12:02:00

Pretty cool game! Me and my bro played it and had a nice match. This could me transformed into a local network game, or into a web game, where you can play with people on the internet. Maybe make bigger maps and such? Nice submission!

Hugline Miami by Figglewatts 2015-04-20T18:26:00

Pretty cool looking, has the same mood as the actual HM! Wasn't too innovative with the theme and gameplay, but still pretty fun. Aiming was pain in the butt though, as the hearts hit the walls too easily. Also the AI was hard when an enemy was right around a corner. Nicely done!

Unconventional Truth by Techblogogy 2015-04-20T00:33:00

Pretty nice mood, and the graphics style is cool. Does follow the theme, too.

Fathom by Joe Williamson 2015-04-27T22:32:00

All-5-star-game!

Cooper 32 vs. Doctor Dynamo by rnlf 2015-04-20T19:37:00

Frustrating, since it is difficult and it lacks checkpoints in the beginning. You should take that as a design tip! Anyways, the game is good and enjoyable. Has a nice story.

Mass-X by hexagore 2015-04-20T17:59:00

Absolutely amazing! It was a bit tricky to aim as the cursor moved when you fell, but it was fairly easily beaten anyways. Awesome game and concept! You could turn this into something bigger too!

Ghetto Engineer by Nysten 2015-04-20T13:09:00

Yes, that is unfortunate. :( CoolBasic is an ancient beta-language, and not even open source, so there is only Windows export. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

(Just tried it on Win 8 and it looks like crap for some reason. I don't know if you can play it in compability mode or something to make it better. It's playable, but blurry.)

Hold Space To Fart by talecrafter 2015-04-20T15:14:00

Beautiful art style, great concept and the gameplay is good. It's a great game!

Uprooted - a carrot simulator by Two Scoop Games 2015-04-21T21:52:00

Pretty hard as you can't see much in front of the carrot. But I guess that's pretty normal for a carrot to not to see - it is a carrot simulator after all. Fun little game!

The War Dog by Xinelu 2015-04-21T22:26:00

It has a nice mood, although it's not so innovative. Tells a story though!

DarkCoding by TwixtorTitan 2015-04-26T20:50:00

A decent entry, I did have some trouble with the slots being unusable and such. I do like the idea though, and think that you should work on this! Maybe a RPG or a puzzle game? Anyways, this was cool, but had it's problems.

Dreamscape by Peach Pie Productions 2015-04-21T22:06:00

The game has a really good feel to it. Controls were a bit funny in the beginning, but when you got used to it, it was great! Concept is really cool too, I like the color idea. Could use some improvements, like a minimap, health and checkpoints - but hey, it's Ludum Dare. Awesome submission!

Boxmagedon by Dohxis 2015-04-27T18:56:00

Controls could use a bit tweaking, but overall it was a fun little shooter.

SUPER BRO THROW by SinclairStrange 2015-04-21T22:42:00

A solid game! Liked the idea and style of it very much. It was challenging enough and I had fun playing it!

LiceCity by Blister 2015-04-21T22:35:00

Good looking game and it plays well. It was quite difficult to play and I had trouble navigating, but it was still fun.

UN Convention by RockhopperGames 2015-04-21T22:22:00

Pretty nice political game, it was pretty hard to get the gist of it, but in the end it was fun.

NOPAEW by Anikki 2015-04-22T00:31:00

Awesome graphics! The transforming world was cool. Respawning was pretty frustrating though, as everything was kept like it was, so I lost keys and ammo everytime I died and couldn't get them back. It was a bit confusing to navigate the level, but I finally made it there and beat the game.

Eurovision: world domination through the power of song by Tijn 2015-04-20T14:57:00

Finland wasn't included! :( Pretty cool game though, those songs are amazing for a compo entry!

Pizza Predator by Mimus 2015-04-20T14:19:00

A solid entry! Worked like a charm, although some aspects were unclear for me, like what's up with the collectibles? It was fun nevertheless.

Budget LARP by Finn 2015-04-20T14:10:00

Norton hates Game Maker again, but disabled it to play. The game was fun and very hard. It could use some tuning on the spawning, but it was playable. Very nice background story.

Old Fashioned Beast Hunter by r8berto 2015-04-20T18:34:00

Pretty fun game, but it was hard. I didin't really get the shooting mechanism, but managed to kill a few beasts. Lack of checkpoints made me to stop playing after a couple deaths though. Nice art style and mood.

Pebble's Bakery by simon.parzer 2015-04-26T21:10:00

Got everything else right, except there could have been music in the shop part. Also, I would've liked a more accurate aiming with the baguette, as there are only three points where you can hit with it. But all in all, very fun little game!

Evil Cupido: Haters gonna hate by Pixel Heart 2015-04-21T21:34:00

Fantastic game! The gameplay is simple and enjoyable, but the aiming is tricky enough to make it interesting.

Sivo: Trial of the Lava God by rattower 2015-04-20T15:06:00

Pretty fun little game! Liked the concept on this one :) It got stuck on the third screen though. Couldn't finish it.

Snotgun by randomperson42 2015-04-20T19:05:00

Pretty funny story! Obviously you have a great sense of humour.

Agent Of Souls by Norbex 2015-04-20T17:50:00

Deep blue color scheme and agents is what I like in games. It was fun and pretty easy to play. The levels were difficult and short enough. The character gets stuck in walls easily.

Vacuum Maiden by UnconventionalFusion 2015-04-21T21:25:00

A decent game, controls feel a bit wonky in my opinion. Still a nice little game, just would need a bit more work.

ink by quill18 2015-04-21T21:42:00

Pretty looking game with good gameplay. Works well.

Card Maniac by snade 2015-04-20T15:21:00

The game lacks gameplay, but it works and is a good base for an actual game! So add something like levels, more enemies etc. and you have a game. Plays really well.

Last Militia by rogberth 2015-04-20T15:43:00

Absolutely fantastic game! Very hard, but still playable - you need to develop tactics to defeat every enemy. This is a game that could be turned into a finished product.

Dino & Satyr on a log by snarf 2015-04-27T19:00:00

Well, surely it is unfinished. I would've liked to see it in it's playable state. I hope you learned something for your next LD, planning is important!

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Temples of Purgatory by Gulyasarni66 2017-12-04T19:21:02Z

Great mood! Quite a lot of enemies though, but you could easily dodge them. Thanks for the game!

DROP by Syrapt0r 2017-12-04T18:56:09Z

You did not just make me play it twice to get the good ending! It was difficult, but very smooth to play control wise. Rope was a bit yanky, but didn't stop the fun! Thanks for the game!

Lonk's Greedy Adventure by javicepa 2017-12-04T13:22:59Z

Beautiful game! Loved the camera work, music and art style. I played for only one ending though, because the controls felt really sluggish for a platformer like this. Thanks for the game!

Robox! by ted 2017-12-04T18:28:13Z

Absolutely gorgeous game! It ran super smoothly on my machine and was very enjoyable to play. Only thing it was lacking was the sound. Solid entry, thanks for the game!

Pirate Cargo by nysten 2017-12-04T09:26:21Z

Thanks for playing! Yes, the enemies are quite hard, but I felt that since they are the only challenge in the game, they should atleast be a difficult one. :smile:

Pirate Cargo by nysten 2017-12-04T13:08:52Z

Thanks all! @sintel thanks, I packed it into an .exe

Pirate Cargo by nysten 2017-12-04T19:01:32Z

@darkgrisen I forgot to add LÖVE dll's to the exe! Fixed now, I hope I didn't lose you yet! :smile:

Pirate Cargo by nysten 2017-12-04T23:11:29Z

@amras0000 I agree, the weight component wasn't really any good for the gameplay. The ship battles are quite fun, so networking does sound good!

Overdose by Kashif 2017-12-04T19:26:11Z

Nice entry! You had to be really fast to be able to kill the enemies in time. Loved the heartbeaat effect. Thanks for the game!

Hedgehog - winter is coming by Sanguis 2017-12-04T12:15:55Z

Loved the style, graphics were really cute. I often got stuck on the walls, but by attacking I was able to nudge myself out. Finished with medium difficulty, thanks for the game!

Town of Overflow by darkgrisen 2017-12-04T18:36:20Z

Pretty solid entry. It was really hard to keep track of the houses, maybe a little less houses would've sufficed.. I like the pace of this otherwise. Sounds would have been nice, they could've really contributed to the gameplay. Overall quite good job though!

AntiBucket by wsKilljoy 2017-12-04T19:29:57Z

Oh god this was super fast paced! I like it, though the bricks were unavoidable - if you were underneath it, you didn't have any time to avoid it. The music made me anxious, which was *very* good considering the theme! Thanks for the game!

The Party by JackIsaacs 2017-12-04T12:23:20Z

Liked the mood! Controls and gameplay was a bit lacking, but overall quite nice. Thanks for the game!

Conservation Island by kix334 2017-12-03T13:59:36Z

I love the mood, but hitting a bunny is very difficult. Maybe make a larger hitbox for them?

Let's mix some drinks! by Sintel 2017-12-04T12:34:45Z

Awesome game! Had super fun mixing some drinks, thanks for the game!
