Wow, this is pretty incredible polish for a weekend's work! I think I didn't get that there were upgrades at first, otherwise an enjoyable little tower defence effort. Great work on the whole presentation of it, very nice.
Solid little game but pretty unforgiving. Really would appreciate a bit of tolerance on the spikes considering they end you instantly. But nice effort, just a bit too tough for me to really get into.
I really wanted to like this as I can just about see what it's trying to do but man... I feel like that dog at a computer ("I have no idea what I'm doing").
Coherent aesthetic, good sense of tension but I just found it incredibly difficult to achieve anything meaningful. Nice idea tho.
Interesting, reminiscent of ChuChu Rocket mechanically. Found it was very sedate to start with then quite sharply the number of enemies became overwhelming. I would have enjoyed a faster pace to the early stages and a smoother transition to the harder stages. Quite basic in appearance but a solid effort :)
It looks great and nice sounds too, just feel the game is a bit too slight. There's not much challenge and it's all over very quickly. But the presentation is top notch.
Wow, this is really good. Presentation is fantastic. I was desperate for a slightly better weapon as my pea-shooter chipped away at an ever-swelling horde, maybe I just didn't get the right pick-up. Great job on this.
Hehe, very fun entry. Loved the cat names, a much appreciated bit of character. Cute cats, pleasant music. Another good job :)
Yay I won! This was a nice little entry, with a good level of difficulty. Especially for a first time! Enjoyed it. Improve the graphics and we're really talking.
Looks nice. Neat idea but I found it difficult to avoid my turrets all dying a pretty early death.
Cool, I am partial to a word game. Finding words in 10 seconds is pretty damn tough! Intense.
Nice clean look to it. Bit more feedback/sound would be nice.
Got to give you credit for a very cool concept here! I can't say I got very far or especially enjoyed it but there is a sort of magic to the looking up messages by colour code and such. Great interpretation of the theme :)
Well yeah that was all sorts of moody and depressing! Pong and Gobbler were a nightmare to play together O_O
Also like the screen filter effect and the concept. Great job!
Nice! It felt very tense playing this, charging through the dark hoping I wouldn't fall to my death... It did feel a bit too much like trial-and-error once the paths involved changes of direction in the dark. And I thought the music didn't need to restart every level (I couldn't really get into it!)
Good effort!
Cool little stacking game! I liked the title screen being the first level. Fun!
Nice idea! I always liked particle physics. I also found it incredibly difficult to make anything other than hydrogen, but I like the minimalistic look of it.
Terrifying. Maybe I'm a wuss but I could hardly persuade myself to go downstairs, ha. I don't really know where I was meant to be going - there seemed to be a lot of interactive things without purpose... which is fine but I felt like I might be missing something. The atmosphere was fantastic.
What a brilliant concept. Haha. Just completely different, so massive respect for that. Innovation all day long right here.
I've been had!
It's a basic game but nicely done, I enjoyed the hard difficulty 'cause I'm hardcore like that. Also only found you could move in comments. Bit more polish and variety and you could have something nice!
Interesting concept! Wish there was a bit more to it, and audio would help the mood lots, but I like that you're trying something with a message!
Gorgeous little game! Enjoyed the simple but effective shooting part... and then the car happened :P After the forgiving nature of the previous section the jumping car death-trap was a bit of a shock!
I suppose I should not kill things to progress there, certainly added quite a twist... Okay adding an extra innovation point for that.
Great atmosphere, tight mechanics (but took me a little while to figure "jump" as latching onto the climby stuff). Nice coherent piece again. Bit repetitive retreading the early stages so much but that's part of what it is. Great job!
Really like the mechanic and presentation! I played with your balls and it was good. Music is very pleasant.
Great concept! Like the idea of being the unseen villain deploying those minions against the classic platforming hero. I would say the game itself was however quite limited with no great strategy to it. Definite potential here.
Very interesting concept, great to see some different thinking in an entry. Strategy was difficult to decipher. In fact I'm still not sure. But it looks and sounds great in its neon world of words.
Oh wow - as soon as the music started playing I was a kid again, you absolutely nailed the retro nostalgia with the audio. The game itself was simple but pretty difficult with the character feeling heavy. Still enjoyable. Great job!
Really solid, polished entry for sure; your pixel art is great as ever. The gameplay was solid but the difficulty in timing the bombs and such was pretty frustrating!
Great work! It is just a matter of time till you win but I enjoyed the gradual progression, nice touch seeing your little vehicles appear around the globe.
Hmm, seems I got caught very suddenly, didn't really see it coming. Some nice effort has gone into this with art and the extensive voiced intro, and it felt menacing creeping up on the village and picking out nasty spells.
Nice! Liked the addition of collecting the coins to the more standard defence game. Found it very difficult though, suddenly lose a few knight guys and I'm screwed. But it feels complete, and I like the colour palette.
Pretty good, stomping about was kinda fun. Liked the little named minions and their various emotional states. I did just seem to be stomping for the sake of stomping as it went on, some variety or extra purpose may have helped.
Nice entry! But I didn't feel villainous, I'm protecting my lunch! Heh. Burning effect was quite nice. Yeah, good job.
That guy is way efficient at removing clothes... Solid, entertaining entry that looks nice. Gets repetitive eventually but what can you do.
Just a note: the compo would require you to do the music yourself rather than lift it from someone else. So I've basically ignored the music in my appraisal.
Very difficult to progress with only one fireball possible at a time, it soon becomes too much. But I liked it up to then, the sprites are nice.
Nice idea for the theme, unfortunately it's just not that fun to play: it doesn't feel like your upgrades are having a very meaningful effect. Maybe finite upgrade choices with a major visible effect would be more satisfying. But good concept!
Nice game! Looks great, fun to play, all important satisfying item pickup noise... I had a few little issues with it but this is a very good effort. Well done guys!
Interesting idea! Was difficult to determine how to deal with people: some accepted crazy loans but some didn't seem to accept anything. But props for doing something different, and I like the shark!
Hmm ok well I managed to run away from goat-riders for a while, certainly had a sense of hopelessness to proceedings.
Also got stuck at the code arranging bit: I think you had a bug where blocks got stuck under eachother so they moved together and became inaccessible (so it seemed). But I liked the idea!
This is really well done but the combat is very difficult! Hard to shoot in the direction you want to at times and the enemies harass you relentlessly. But looks and sounds great and I was intrigued by the story, a lot of effort on show.
Heh, well that was an amusing little adventure. Bit slow with the walking along the same grey space repeatedly but it was all about the quirky narrative here.
Feels like the start of a fun little game here! Just wish it had a little more gameplay fleshed out, but it's promising. And looks great!
Pretty fun shmup. The variety of bullets coming in worked well at times although the difficulty spiked around from almost nothing to pretty damn intense. Controls and visuals might benefit from some polish but it's a solid effort.
Intersting concept, and it looks great! Was definitely tricky wrestling with the two activities. Could do with some feedback, and indeed the timer seemed to run out with no effect.
Neat idea, though if the village and mine spawn quite close it's very tricky to make progress.
Nice - short and simple but really liked the clean art style.
Ha, well that got out of control quickly! Nice simple idea :)
Interesting one! I found it nigh-on impossible to keep on top of the rotten mountains but the visual style was very cool. Could have done with some camera rotation maybe.
Interesting use of the theme! It was oddly satisfying splatting whole groups of eyeball things.
Enjoyed the general concept though I don't see much connection to the theme. I ran out of time manoeuvring to fit the parts onto my junk (hur hur), almost felt the time limit was a bit harsh. But good work!
Definitely adorable presentation. I didn't find the game that rewarding as I only managed barely noticeable changes between generations but yeah, totally loving the cute looks.
Finally finished by a Moose Warrior thing! Really like the evolving difficulty, though for me the curve is indeed a bit too slow. Had a nice look and atmosphere to it. Fun game!
This is pretty cool! Must admit I missed the shape-shifting altogether at first, and when I tried using it I soon reverted to again hitting people in the face (with the odd heal). Nice chunky 3D graphics. Good job!
Cool game! Liked the quivering environment, looked and sounded great. I did struggle to get my head around the upgrades and got lost going back on myself a bit.
Twist ending! Very cute, like the graphics and gradual introduction of mechanics. Found dashing and jumping a bit frustrating at times.
Slippery movement was a bit frustrating, wasn't really obvious when I was getting hurt and how I was to be punished. But looks quite good and quirky :)
It ran fine for me and looks good, but man I had no idea what to do and failed to make any sort of progress. But good effort, keep at it :)
Some great work on audio and humour here - love the Indian cop-in-space theme! Unfortunately the gameplay was rather repetitive and unsatisfying to control, although the enemy immunities were a good idea. Oh and the soundtrack Rick Roll was quite exquisite :)
Fun game, those little enemies move fast! I didn't really master the usage of the different forms. But fun.
Quite fun going round hitting things and evolving, but the game did suffer visually with slowdown when there were large numbers of enemies, and screen scrolling. Bit rough looking. But nice music, and a good job on your first time for sure!
Amusing and certainly bizarre little text adventure! A large suspension of disbelief required to get into this cheesey world. Cool :)
Oh nice idea... well once I got past the idea of robots breeding... hehe. Interface is really nice just lacking a bit of sound. Progress in improving the bots was very slow but overall nice effort!
Don't know if it's just me but I can't seem to download the exe from Dropbox it just shows a page with the filename and no download option?
Heh - nice idea but I'm not sure how to do good: each time the numbers eventually careered off into oblivion as did my hurricane into the abyss!
Took me a good while to work out what was going on with the movement: the dark walls are almost invisible on my screen. After that I struggled around a bit, got some parts off greys but it was all a bit of a struggle I'm afraid. With some touching up it could be pretty cool!
Nice! Felt a bit repetitive, especially with the walk speed being slow, but much dodging did help. Enjoyed the boss fight, your AI was pretty good with the shooting and rushing. Audio ambience was nice.
Maddeningly clever. Also, maddening. Great job :)
Nice graphics, good effort. Gameplay was very simplistic - it improved later on as you added more elements but that ramp-up should have happened a lot faster I feel.
Great! Looks great, clever, funny. Real shame there's no mood-setting music, and I did need the walkthrough a few times (but then again I'm a bit stupid at these kind of games).
Certainly frantic, controls were quite tricky. But a fun little game, did quite like that it was itself tiny.
Cool, the shrinking was a nice mechanic and there's some good level design to go along with it. Not the prettiest but enjoyable - good work!
Fun :) Nice mechanic balance of having to keep the world stable while shooting at the ships.
Couldn't open it either
Pretty good! The colour change caught me out on many occasions (made more tricky by having my finger over the information), but it was fun. And fair play for going for an Android game!
Neat little game - looks good, sounds good. Unfortunately I don't have the patience/reflexes to see this one through, it's very difficult.
Nice :) The graphics are cute and I quite like your use of the theme. Gets hard to dodge all the bullets!
Pretty good! Good work on getting that much level design done, was a good length. And music always helps.
Yeah that was quite fun. I lost track of where I was a bunch of times and after the initial ramp-up of enemies it just sorta carried on until things slowed down a lot then I died. Also wasn't entirely sure what was going on with shooting recharge. But yeah, had fun!
Exactly what the others said on the Windows version: "buffer.h:129 GL_INVALID_OPERATION - glVertexAttribPointer"
AWESOME. Space Harrier-esque fun times. Unfortunately incredibly difficult to play on keyboard (don't have a gamepad to hand). Also don't think there was a graceful way to quit the game. But great job - looks/sounds great!
Neat idea! Damn those helicopters. Found the bottle bit very difficult unfortunately. Nice art.
68MB! But yeah pretty cool, though it soon got pretty tricky avoiding those rocks. Liked the music, of course!
Nice :) I also noticed the second play-through didn't allow me to vaporize. But absolutely, smashing stuff is cool. And it looks great - could just do with some satisfying sounds.
How... meta.
Great job man, that was a fun game!
Wow, pretty trippy. If it was meant to incite some sort of disorientation it worked! Nice atmosphere.
Nice work. Liked the audio and it definitely carried the theme. Shame there wasn't a little more gameplay! :)
That is one philosophical kitten! Climbing those blocks does begin to feel like work after the first 5 times or so. Liked the music and 2-colour visuals.
Yeha, cute. Not a great deal to it but it was nice with appealing presentation.
Nice idea. Not sure the thinking behind using WASD and the number keys - got a little bit cramped up there! But it's a nice simple concept executed quite well.
Fantastic little game. Looks gorgeous, controls as well as I'd expect a ball to control, nice little bit of level design, cute ending. Great job!
You're a madman! Good use of theme... I guess...?
This is the best game featuring Burnley I have ever played! xD Liked it, but yes I turned the music off pretty quickly, sorry :) Congrats on a good effort!
The functional audio supports the simple gameplay effectively but it's not pleasant. Game looks pretty neat.
Once I worked out I could move around it became more playable xD Could use work on control and general polish.
Well, this is a little bit beautiful, isn't it! Great visual and audio work. However I was totally stumped on that first puzzle until I chanced the solution, wasn't really obvious. But yeah, great entry!
Quite rough and buggy, but there's the core of a fun game in there. Theme is a bit of an afterthought but I very much liked the chat log/instruction screen!
Hmm, well I crashed in the inn trying to get a rest. No rest in Hell I suppose!
Nice mechanic, does make for a tense take on what would otherwise be a predictable game. Not sure it really says "escape" to me.
Yeah I just got the unclose-able black window (Windows XP).
It did feel like each level was either easy or impossible. But nice idea!
I found this extremely difficult but I absolutely love the retro sci-fi thing, the wires are a lovely touch.
Well that was all a bit surreal. Some nice work on the graphics, although the flickering was a bit unsightly and the dark areas didn't really scream "obstacle" until I was looking for it.
Great use of the theme! The games themselves were very basic but not bad (although took me a minute to figure out what I was doing in 4).
Interesting idea (and very melodramatic title!) - I found I got stuck quite quickly and never really got a handle on what "pull" was going to do at any given time.
Mostly agree with the other comments - could do with more gameplay going on.
I quite liked this! A bit thin on gameplay but it was surprisingly pleasing to wander around the island looking for supplies :)
I get a crash about 3 seconds in.
Short and simple but pretty fun while it lasted - despite the basic graphics managed to have some character to it.
Was indeed quite difficult - but a really tight little game, good work!
Liked the music. Otherwise there's not all that much to it, I guess!
Looks and sounds very nice! Bit more elaboration on gameplay would be good. I wasn't sure about having the character towards the right of the screen when the danger appears from that edge.
I got an Entry Point Not Found exception in msvcrt.dll launching this (Windows XP), but not sure if it's just that the dll on this PC is a bit borked.
LD28 — You Only Get One (11)
The Trials of Chad by Aaants 2014-01-06T23:50:00
Very very good. You packed a lot into this and it was well polished, impressive stuff. Some nice level design tho' certain bits got a bit tiresome having to go back through many times due to a small slip-up.
YOGOS - YouOnlyHaveOneShield by Muciojad 2014-01-01T22:56:00
Interesting choice of spinning the ship around for bonus effects - the bonuses actually felt too powerful, I was charging around like a wrecking ball in there. But it feels coherent and well presented. I like that sometimes the sound effects during constant fire sounded like some sort of rhythmic beat music :P
That One Coin by diegocbarboza 2014-01-01T22:46:00
Love this! I genuinely wondered if that was it when I grabbed the first coin a couple of times before realising the real game led beyond... Jumping was very floaty but I guess I accepted it eventually. Good idea, well executed, really nice little bit of music too.
Dungeons of Resolve by Dark Helix Games 2014-01-01T22:38:00
First impression is very good with the nice sprite art but the game is rather difficult to play. Walk speed very slow, going through exits was awkward and the attack range is very small. Certainly stuff to build on though, a few tweaks away from being rather good I think!
Bugz by Grafter 2014-01-01T22:31:00
Decent little shooter. Could do with a bit of variety and maybe more ramping of the difficulty curve early on. Like the use of voice!
Agent One by DanielSnd 2014-01-01T22:25:00
I saved the world! Really fantastic looking work, lovely cartoony/low-poly style. I feel the camera really needs to look further ahead of the character, especially when using the gun. Fun game!
Listen by Donutttt 2014-01-01T22:18:00
Hmm... yes, interesting. I like that there is some meaning being put across here. It's not obvious there are other stories you can get; I wonder if the loss of what you miss could be incorporated somehow.
Luminess by iiechapman 2013-12-20T00:35:00
Like the mechanics, looks and sounds good too - the chunky pixels doing a nice job. Don't quite see how the theme fits in unfortunately. But good job.
Lost Robots by stromchin 2013-12-19T23:32:00
Very pretty! Was fun running some trees down. Would love to see more game here as there's just not much to it at the moment. A nice starting point, perhaps.
Diner Devil! by voidqk 2013-12-19T23:26:00
Nicely done! It was pretty tough meeting the orders quickly but I found I did get better at it as I progressed.
You Only Get One Bullet by Beardo Games 2013-12-16T15:16:00
Nice idea! An elegant implementation of the theme. Short, but understandably so. I enjoyed it!
