Not enough gameplay and needs more objects to play with physics sandbox.
Really nice and ambitious. The controls seem overly complicated for no reason (some actions left click, some right click).
Interesting way of controlling the character
I love it, super cute penguins though a bit too pixelly for my taste.
Annoyances:
I got stuck once
No joypad button to talk to the penguins
I would have liked to be able to rotate the camera (mario64-style)
A serious candidate for the win.
NB: No source link? it's required.
I think it's really cool to see an entry made with Mathematica (actually I just bought a copy of the home edition a few weeks ago). Now I can't really tell if the game is really working, it's all very experimental but the idea is really cool.
Nice character animation and cool PGC terrain. Since there is nothing to do you could have at least let us jetpack as much as we want, walking is just too slow :D
Nice circular level, too bad you didn't have the time to finish it. Not bad considering it's a 12 hours entry.
Nice graphics, gets repetitive after a while and the first jump is too difficult.
Not bad at all considering you had a busy week-end.
Oh so confusing...
It's not clear what the robot is doing.
Made it work with your work around (how did you manage to make a game that depends on the system decimal separator?)
Now this is a really impressive entry by its scope alone.
It's a bit overwhelming at first but after a few tries I managed to get to the rover part but my rover always landed on its back and then the pirates came back and I died! lol
Well, I'd say it lacks some polishing and a gentler learning curve but it's quite an accomplishment!
Cute graphics, but it gets boring quickly. Also I didn't really like the dialogs.
Nice little game, I couldn't figure out what to do next after a while but I enjoyed it to that point. I like how the powers are introduced one by one.
Missing jumps can be a little frustrating after a while.
AWESOME! At first I thought cute but no gameplay, and then as soon as things started to become interesting I got addicted.
Mostly it was not too hard except for the rotating lava things and the room at the very end. Those were insanely hard! I think I died more than 1400 times (took me I guess ~1h30 to finish! But it was worth it. Crazy game but the instant respawn made it enjoyable.
Cat planet! Cat planet! Cat planet!
PS: I just had to play it again right away, this time it was easier since I got used to it and took about 15 min and only ~180 deaths.
Nice but it lacks a clear purpose, just flying around in empty space and shooting at a few things isn't enough
Not much incentive to not just press keys at random but at least it fits the theme well. :)
Pretty cool, but it got really easy after a while. Neat idea though :-)
Almost to minimal. My high is 20.
Neat idea, but not much to it.
Man... this game scared me. ;-) Nice graphics but way too easy. My finger started hurting with all the clicking ;-)
Very cool! Only problems were not being able to change direction, and having to hold the jump button on the rails. My finger got pretty darn tired ;-(
Cool game, neat idea, good music. :-)
Good idea, but not enough levels.
Nice game. Really hard, but it felt pretty cool. I liked the random popup messages throughout the game. That was a nice touch :-)
Kinda fun, but aiming can be frustratingly hard.
Boring, but funny at the same time. I almost yelled when a rhino fell in the pond. Would've been more fun if you had lives instead of restarting at the beginning of the game.
Neat idea... kind of hard though :-)
Cool game! The flashing blocks hurt my eyes after a while though... the sounds annoyed me too. But it's still a good job.
Randomly fun. Quite short.
Very fun, but not enough levels.
Very cool! Felt real solid, not to long, not to short, just right. Nice work!
Cool, but frustratingly hard. I haven't beat the first level yet, though I've tried and tried...
This was actually fun, despite the game not having being long enough. The GUI was really nice. I hope you keep working on this and add more 'levels' :-)
I agree with the other reviewers. The game is vague and uninteresting. My high was something like Jach's.
LD17 — Islands (15)
Turtle Ferry by dock
Nice! The concept has worked really well. The animal models are awesome and the graphical style is original.
Artillery Isles by Entar
Nice little game, works well but gets a bit repetitive after a while.
A Fishing Adventure by Sophie Houlden
I'm once again humbled by your awesomeness ;) All those cool modes, it's like a Zelda game where you get all the good stuff in 5 minutes instead of 50 hours.
The control inertia and high sensitivity was annoying and it's lacking a bit of polish but the concept is really cool. It's more a fishing theme than islands, though.
I agree that it's bad that the fishes disappear completely when you drop them but I didn't get stuck.
They Came From the Ocean by bluescrn
Very cool game. The black smoke monster idea is really good and they look really nice. I like the smooth controls and it feels well polished. Your games continue to inspire me since the first time I participated in a LD.
Simcano by Nora Shishi
It took a while to understand but once I found out how to make money it was fun. Nice game!
AlienIslands by Colin Allen
Nice little alien guy!
L'il Guys and the Floating Islands by AClockWorkLemon
Cool lemmings type of game. The graphics are really tiny but nice. The levels were rather easy but fun.
I didn't see the point of editing while the l'il guys are moving since you lose very quickly when one or two die and you can complete all the levels without that.
It's annoying that when you restart a level, you have to replace everything again.
It would need some more levels and types of blocks but overall it's a cool and well made game.
Artifact Hunt by allen
I like the simplicity of it and the music goes very well with that to create the ambiance. But it's a bit empty.
SkyLands by Diet Chugg
Nice music but restarting the level made the game no fun :/
Island Hopping by Riley Adams
It looks like it could be good but to me that was just frustrating. I really liked the concept and graphics and if I could play like in your video it would have been more enjoyable but the best I managed to do was 7 hops when I got lucky once.
And if only you could restart the game by pressing jump again, it would be more addictive but pressing return is annoying when you have the left hand on space and the right one on the mouse. (maybe you're a lefty?)
I think it would have been better with designed levels of increasing difficulty rather than generated content.
EDIT: Actually the game was more enjoyable after a good night's rest than it was on a Friday evening. Though changing the mouse sensitivity to 3 was necessary to hope not to die right away. Still the easy mode should actually be the insane one.
EDIT #2: It's actually an awesome game once you really get into it, I just made 70000 points (exactly). It seems making a high score requires some luck though, you need a 4x bonus and a good series of green islands following it.
Savory Sea Hoss by SonnyBone
Fun graphics! The gameplay failed to really capture my attention as it seemed the food was thrown rather randomly but maybe I failed to notice something.
Tango by shrt
Probably unfinished. An attempt at a Carrier Command type of game, maybe?
Roller-Derby 20XX: Mega Islands of Awesome by refrag
Nice retro graphics style. I don't see the theme in your game.
No^Man by youdonotexist
mmm, I got the first puzzle after that i wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. It's possible to move by using the words on the character but is that a bug or a feature? Also the game doesn't restart when you die.
I liked the original look of the game.
Infinite Deadly Islands Of Terror by Hamumu
Nice little game with cute pixelly graphics. It's a bit too random though, it feels like once you have seen the first island you have seen them all, and the luck factor of where the things spawn is important.
