LD28 — You Only Get One

The Visitor by Jezzamon 2013-12-17T23:24:00

Lovely game. I love the muffin-gun :D

Sixteen in One by zatyka 2013-12-19T16:09:00

Very well executed and quite innovative.

0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-25T23:14:00

This is a really awsome game. Nice work!

Jameson The Pilot by rezoner 2013-12-17T19:05:00

This is awesome. Love it. My favorite so far. Very well executed!

Don't Lose It! by OneDee 2013-12-25T19:38:00

Nice game. However, you can circumvent the whole gameplay, by losing your package at the beginning and just running to the end. The ending doesn't require you to have the package with you. Maybe you should fix that.

That One Coin by diegocbarboza 2013-12-19T23:19:00

Really cool idea! First coin I was like "What? Is that all?" Then I got it and I had top play till the end because I wanted to know where this will end.

That One Coin by diegocbarboza 2013-12-19T23:22:00

One thing though: the jumping is kind of too floaty. But the concept is great.

GRAIL by pLaw 2013-12-16T05:04:00

Seems like my host took down the game due to too high traffic. I'll have to post it somwhere else. There will be an update...

GRAIL by pLaw 2013-12-16T05:29:00

Ok, I uploaded the game on Newgrounds as a fallback. Should be fine now.
Thanks for all your feedback. I deeply appreciate it.

GRAIL by pLaw 2013-12-16T22:28:00

You can go pass the boulder. You just need to attack the first skeleton right before it turns at the ledge and then jump directly to the second skeleton to stab it from behind. This way you outrun the boulder. But you have to close the first gate in order to be safe while opening the second one.

28' q7204k by q7204k 2013-12-16T15:16:00

I liked the idea with gettig only one match for the level. However, not landing in a pool of acid was very hard even when being able to see something.

Code Tower by madmaw 2013-12-16T16:04:00

Oh now I got it :D
I didn't rate your game until now, because I didn't understand what's going on. But now I understand it, and it's a pretty cool idea.

So you need to add numbers by starting at an operator and dragging your term across the field (like in Wurdle). The result appears at your starting position and new values/opoerators fall from the top. I like that :) This is actually a good game for mobile devices.

Suggestion: you could limit the number of turns to add an chalange or add a time limit.

Drain by hydancer 2013-12-16T05:43:00

Very good. I like the idea and the problem it describes. It's the distribution not the scarcity of resources. Nice job!

clic only by nicso 2013-12-16T15:25:00

Good audio. Interesting mechanic and clean an minimalistic representation. I like the different types of interaction with the environment (bouncy walls, slowing/inverting surfaces). It's also pretty hard :) I liked it.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Last Dive by Gabriel 2014-05-01T14:32:00

This is an awsome game. Really nice visuals and audio. Also, you touch the theme quite good and it has a deeper meaning. Has a little bit too much pathos for my taste, but still a really good game. Well done!

our god lives underground by Andrew Shouldice 2014-05-01T13:22:00

Gorgeous visuals and audio. Your game is really strong when it comes to atmosphere and mood. For my taste, I'm missing some more interaction. But still it's one of the better (or best) games I've seen this LD so far.

Deep Diver by Valandre 2014-04-30T17:40:00

Wonderful graphics. This is the prettiest LD game I've seen so far. The gameplay with the oxygen tube and the rewind function is also really cool.

Threading by fakeyou 2014-05-02T19:29:00

Very interesting and innovative concept. I like the minimalistic presentation. Nice work!

Leagues Above by BumbleBirds 2014-04-29T18:12:00

This is an overall great game entry. You have my respect, sirs. Best thing I've seen this LD so far.

Cemetery Secretary by Bekokstover 2014-04-29T18:44:00

I like the mood and your take on the theme. The introduction letter made me chuckle :)
Also, nice graphics and audio.

SubWars by Random Abductions 2014-05-02T18:43:00

It was hard to find out how to play. Also, the log to the bottom right has a way too small font and is hard to read. Since it's introduced as very important it should be more prominent.

Water Temple by pLaw 2014-04-28T13:01:00

@rylgh: In fact, the startegy part you're addressing was the the part I was struggling with the most during development. At the beginning, either you could build temples ad infinitum and no tide could stop you from growing all over the place or all your attempts to go past two temples would be continuously crushed by incoming waves. So there was some balancing there. The main choices you make in this game are supposed to be how to distribute your build actions, whether or not to build a totem (i.e. convert a high value 3 story temple to a blocking tile) and so forth. I admit there need to be some additional elements to make the gameplay really interesting in terms of strategy. Right now it's just a minimal core of a puzzle game, I guess.

Baum by Waterman7 2014-04-30T14:17:00

Really cool. I like the simplicity of the concept. Presentation is also quite good.

Mole Position by Glint Games 2014-05-02T18:55:00

Nice sprites. The mole gets stuck in the air or at walls quite often, which might become annoying sometimes.

Inner War by KickBack 2014-04-29T16:43:00

Wow! Stunning graphics, and a nice take on the Theme. I'm not a fan of cutscenes in games but this impressed me.

Soul Ninja by nicotoni 2014-04-29T16:54:00

Quite a good game. Good atmosphere and music. Only thing I'd complain about is the jump mechanic which felt a bit restricting because you cannot contol your jump height.

Beneath The Surface Of Scratch Ticket by dejant 2014-04-30T13:42:00

That's a nice one. Really innovative concept. Good job!

The Dive - I`ll spend the next 5 minutes Drowning by Filecreation 2014-04-30T16:23:00

The narration made me play the whole thing and it really fits the whole atmosphere. The animations are pretty good, too. Nice work!

Ice Treasure by EpiphanyG 2014-05-01T17:40:00

Nice concept. I like how the length of the torch indicates the remaining time. A thing that bothered me was that every click/stap stacks and blocks me from further interactions.

Incursion by pichifino 2014-04-29T17:50:00

Hilarious! I hoped for that ending after I fell into the "green water". I was not dissapointed.

Focus Shift by ForeignGuyMike 2014-04-30T16:14:00

That's a really great entry. Challenging and well crafted. you really have to kind of switch your brain to get past some levels. I also like the look.

Under Attack by REIN1 2014-05-02T19:09:00

The cannons seem not to hit under certain circumstances even if the enemy unit is standing still. And the enemies are spawning in the middle of the base which is a bit confusing.

LD30 — Connected Worlds

The Lion's Song by LeafThief 2014-08-27T15:45:00

Gorgeous game. Very contemplative and nice mood. Good work!

Whiteout by primaerfunktion 2014-08-27T15:17:00

Really nice work. You improve with each game :)
Nice idea, using the flags for orientation. Quite good mood and relaxig concept.

Me And My Ghost by jahlgren 2014-08-27T16:06:00

Really good graphics and animation. Music is quite good, too. Well done :)

Ice by ice cold muffin 2014-08-27T18:49:00

I like the minimalistic presentation, looks polished.

Data-Man by Hyoga-3D 2014-08-27T18:54:00

It's like pac-man, but faster and spherical :D
Nice work!

RED Thread by NickZangus 2014-08-27T16:01:00

Nice art style. Well executed! Controls are a bit fiddly on QWERTZ-Keyboards ;)

Dominions'n'dominoes by Benjamin 2014-08-27T17:05:00

I really dig this game! Gorgeous graphics and very fun board game mechanics. Exellent work!

Computer, Open That Door! by pLaw 2014-08-28T17:29:00

Thanks for all that awsome feedback, guys. We had a lot of more in mind while making this game: luring crewmen into rooms, more responsive AI, crewmen assigning tasks to the computer and so forth. But you know, time was fleeting. We hope we'll pick it up again and elaporate on the idea. Every feedback and criticism is welcome.

Jessie and Jack by rnlf 2014-08-27T18:03:00

Good take on the theme! The two character mechanic is fun but the movement is way to floaty.

House of Demise (Horror/Puzzle) by RawboSaurX 2014-08-27T18:28:00

Overall a very well made horror game! Got scared several times. It has its minor technical flaws, but I would attribute that to the short time period you had to finish it. There is a lot of content in there! I really like the avatar and the GUI graphics. Audio is very appealing, too.

Merge by vicious_br 2014-08-27T16:21:00

Nice minimalistic game. I find the dynamic environment very innovative. Nice work!

Melody's Long Ladder Home by AAGH Games 2014-08-27T15:26:00

The ladder management part is quite good. The controls are a bit fiddly. You can't leave the ladder when you reached the top without releasing the Up-Key.

Starpiercer by Schrodinger Games 2014-09-03T18:13:00

The best presentation I saw so far this LD. Great graphics and awsome music. I Like the flying mecha-snake and the setting. Gamplay-wise it could use some work, but damn it looks and sounds fantastic.

yooneetay by sara 2014-08-27T15:31:00

Neat idea and presentation. But the controls are a bit akward and slippery. You get stuck at walls when jumping into them which somehow breaks the movement flow. But the graphics are nicely done.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

The Gun Keeper by hadesfury 2015-04-21T14:35:00

This game looks gorgeous. I love the idea of being the operator inside of a giant cannon. But it misses to show the effects of the players actions. You don't see the gun being fired and that's a bit disappointing. Ever heard of Chekhov's gun? ;)

Uncontrollable Robot by mr_tag 2015-05-03T12:58:00

This is great! I had a blast :D

Adventure Lamp by ryguydavis 2015-04-21T00:38:00

Nicely executed. Really gorgeous and juicy animations. And the platforming is challenging as well. I like the high jump with the squeeze animation and sound :)

Iridescent by PixlWalkr 2015-04-21T12:27:00

Cute game with nice presentation. I like the gem throwing idea. Freezing the water with the blue gem felt really inventive.
Although, the aiming was a bit of a hassle and the movement is a tiny bit clunky. I got stuck in the boss room several times because the platforms seem to overlap and their collision areas can catch you.

Udom Nebdon by pLaw 2015-05-02T23:25:00

I agree, there isn't much 'game' in this piece. I had a lot of ideas for puzzles and machanics, but I got short on time and had to cut everything out... the mood is what left behind. Sad story.

Mass-X by hexagore 2015-04-20T23:30:00

This was great. Good graphics and music, too. The swapping is sometimes very hard to do in time (but not impossible).
Nice game!

Ion cannon by umb16 2015-04-21T14:03:00

Great design. The ion cannon is really satisfying to use. I also like the music and the pixelated 3D-shaded look. Well done!

Laserino by 43iscoding 2015-04-21T14:24:00

Interesting game with a lot of potential. The general mechanics are cool but some levels seemed a bit arbitrarily designed. The warp effect was very interesting. But the solution to the totaly warped stage was more trial and error. Overall, good job.

carena by TomBoogaart 2015-04-20T22:51:00

This is fun! I don't get how to win, or how the damage between cars is done (I guess hitting with the front does damage to the opponent) but it's fun to find out. Nice effects and hilariously chaotic.

L.O.V.E by sputnik 2015-04-20T21:47:00

This is quite polished. Nice work. Though, I got stuck in one of the blue doors. I was 'kissing' through a button and stopped right inside of the door and couldn't get out. Nevertheless, this is definitively one of the better entries.

Moss by uvwar 2015-04-20T23:40:00

Nice graphics and mood. It has a calming effect on me.

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark by Romixal 2015-04-21T13:11:00

This is a quite good game you made there. Goog puzzle mechanics, interesting level design. I like it! A solid game :)

Troll smakkin' by Shimmergloom 2015-04-21T14:12:00

Nice graphics. The control scheme is a bit difficult because the isometric view makes arrow keys ambiguous.
I liked how the trolls turned to stone on daybreak :)

PEACEFIGHTER 2084 by Jamezila 2015-04-21T19:32:00

Interesting idea and funny ironic setting :D
So the health bar is just to remind the players that i this is a beat-em-up but it's all built you have a one-hit-one-kill blow. Nice graphics and Music.

Angling Bots by dragseal 2015-04-21T19:19:00

Nice idea. But the controls are way too floaty and the camera sometimes doesn't follow to show critical parts of the level.

Destroy&Oppress by YaaZ 2015-04-21T13:16:00

omg voxels! I absolutely want to play this, but it crashes with error message from my NVidia card upon loading :(

Minotaur by Wan 2015-04-21T17:07:00

Great Design! I Love the concept.

LD37 — One room

The File Approach by c4m 2016-12-13T02:17:00

Same here, controls don't seem to work :(
The music is great, though!

Drunk Guy! by bramvanelderen 2016-12-13T02:45:00

Wow, this guy i really drunk :D

Bob & Bernard Against the Nazis by arcadehero 2016-12-13T03:05:00

Gorgeous pixel art! I really like these characters. Audio is great, too!

TISIC IZIEB by Split82 2016-12-15T00:18:00

This is so beautiful and the sound is amazing, too. I blew me away.

Tangent by rxi 2016-12-18T20:01:00

Great game. Definitely one of my favourites in this LD. Very good music!

the room by rogueNoodle 2016-12-13T02:57:00

I love the art style and the level design with the shifting walls. Very well done!

Me, Myself And The Room by Artylo 2016-12-13T03:23:00

Thoughtful :)

The Employee by pLaw 2016-12-13T02:58:00

@kleinzach thanks! I'll try to fix that asap

The Employee by pLaw 2016-12-13T03:14:00

ok, the blocking keyboard glitch should be fixed. Just uploaded the new files.

The Employee by pLaw 2016-12-15T00:56:00

Ok, did some further fixes. Hope the problems with getting stuck at interactable points are fixes now. If it's still buggy please let me know. Thank you all for reporting :)

One room, please! by floetenmaul 2016-12-13T02:28:00

This is great! I love it :D

Walkie Talkie by managore 2016-12-15T00:01:00

This is brilliant! My absolute favourite of all LD37 entries so far!

Captain's Room by Nicolaigd 2016-12-15T01:30:00

This game looks beautifull. It feels really polished. I love the reduced color palette and all the smooth dithering going on. Well done!

Porno Tales: part 1 (Warning: NSFW!!!) by Sublustris 2016-12-13T02:42:00

The controls are hard to grasp initially. I'd prefer more direct control over the character. But overall it's a fun game with a catchy tune ;)

The Paper Ship by kirilllosev 2016-12-14T23:53:00

A nice looking game. The whales don't seem to have an effect on the paper ship, though.

Flat Zombies!!! by klams 2016-12-13T02:22:00

This looks gorgeous! A bit more work on the controls and the mechanics and you have quite a polished little piece here. Good work!

Anywhere but Here by alexfoo 2016-12-15T01:10:00

Half of my life ;)

Junction by batmagus 2016-12-13T02:38:00

I like the idea. Feels like being the last living thing in a giant machine. Also feels like being the least reliable part of it :D
Nice work!
