Hmm not sure what i was doing besides getting extreme XP by fighting dragons and losing it by fighting kings.
Found this because of your blog post. Nice!
Very polished, nice graphics. The music did become quite repetitive (but you have music so that's good). Nice puzzles, but could use a little more different variations to it, besides the 3 buttons you have right now. (Maybe add a switchable diode or weird logic nodes.) Still it was 48 hours, so great job!
Given the 1.5 days its quite nice, however it does feel a little unfinished.
Pff, I'm not good enough at multitasking for this. Great idea, nice graphics :)
16 seconds... Simple and fun take on the theme.
To bad it wasn't finished. Still quite impressive art/music wise.
Nice feeling of the game. I also like the difficulty level. :D Also the take on the theme is nice, in the way you use it for the difficulty of the obstacles.
P.S. Could you check back on our game with the debug version (www.randomabductions.com/space-trader)? It would be awesome if you could help us getting it to work on extra devices.
Hey thanks for pointing out uploading problem, it would be awesome if you could check back :D.
P.S. Liked your game as well, nice puzzles, fun art. I must agree that the theme is not entirely visible in this one.
Hey thanks for pointing out Webplayer problem, it would be awesome if you could check back :D.
P.S. Loved your game :D
It's a funny mechanic to swing your sword, but a controller is definitely required to enjoy the game at least a little bit. The amount of enemies are cool and the levels are fun to walk trough, but I wished more time was spend on actual game mechanics and refining the sword mechanic then extras. Also, some of the randomly generated seeds are just impossible since 10 guys are standing next to you. And, no, this is not the fault of RNJesus.
It looks very nice, but I don't really find the gameplay anything to write home about. The controls are good, for a mobile device, however I wished I didn't have to hold down the mouse button all the time. The music fits the theme that the game is going for. One other thing that you might want to consider is that you can't stack the shield upgrade, which seems somewhat unfair since you mostly need to risk a lot to get the second one in the first place.
Nice ambient game, very stressful on the higher difficulty, peaceful on the easier grades. I loved it. The only thing is that it is sometimes too hard to control the amount of units you want to send. But I have no clue how I would have done it. The innovation on this method is very interesting. Loved the minimalistic but pleasing colors and shapes!
The visual style is cool, however, my WASD doesn't work for some reason. I can't walk.
Cool concept, I didn't get too far however, the first jump is way to hard for a first introduction to the mechanics. I like the artstyle very much!
A very mysterious game. I love the idea of only being able to go down, and the message in the end is just glorious. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, despite the art :P Maybe not the most technically impressive one so far, but story wise it is awesome! My first 5 rank overall.
This was random....
I would love to play your game man, love the idea of a bunker hider and would have loved to see what your story was about. Send me a message for sure if you fixed the executable.
File was deleted form the server :(
Love the game, it reminds me of the old rogues on DOS. I like the idea of money but it has no significance but to be there as a score meter. The combat is a bit unpredictable but a nice edition. Would love to have had some minimalistic music and sfx just to increase the mood. Also like the water idea!
Good use of the theme, however, it is a somewhat simple game. What I do find awesome is that you used webGL! And a very good effort if this is you first try! Keep it up!
Cool idea, however the mood setup in the first part of the game is not really reflected in the combat of the game. I do however like the way you handled the mechanics of combat. Only the continue function was not really explained.
Cool concept, but sadly not very fun to play. I AM SORRY! However, I did like the mechanic that you need to use your pickups to advance.
You could spend some more time on making a few interesting art assets instead of a lot that do not blend really well into the rest of the world.
The grappling hooks made the game more interesting from other similar games.
I tried to get off the couch but it didn't work. Very meta. But I like the idea of making something text based very very cool. However, a list of possible commands in the "help" command would be nice. Try to 'modernise' it at least a tiny bit.
Awesome game concept. Very accurate to the real world. I love that you need to bump into bacteria to get receptors to shoot. However, it is not very clear what the losing or winning conditions are.
It is a cool concept and it looks good! However, I don't particularly like this kind of game so I am probably not the best reference. The precision needed to pass some of the enemies is to harsh. But it looks very broad!
A little buggy (probably fixed in the post-compo version?)
Really love the game, a lot of fun to play. The parallax effect is totally awesome! I also liked the physics of the ship, very deep indeed. Cool transition between the sea and the surface. You could add enemies which need to be defeated by shooting above and below sea level.
Pretty good graphics for 72 hours. However the tutorial is a little over crowded.
Also nice if this was pure js + three.js. (This seems the case given the music player :D)
Idea is nice, however it doesn't really feel balanced yet. But that might be a lack of tactics.
Solid, but not to much innovation. But a fun little game to play.
I'm not entirely sure about the combat system, it seems way to responsive to mistakes, mistakes that instantly kill you. But overall very awesome. Also the theme seems a little hacked into the game, but I know how brainstorm sessions go :P
Awesome game, great graphics, great music. If I have to add something negative it would be that is not very innovative, but I think you can live with that, right?
These games are very addictive, I shouldn't spend to much time playing this :P
Awesome Art! Lots of z-fighting unfortunately. I liked how you made little puzzles based on the weapon you chose.
Great game, especially for a one button game.
Nice idea!
I really liked the last two puzzles! Nice graphics, fun nice mood.
I like how this game actually gives me one chance. Goodjob :P
Good graphics, nice sounds, feels polished. Maybe it's a little to fast paced for me.

Words War by tppr2046 2014-12-08T16:50:00
Pretty fun experience, even though i have no clue what the words mean. However, I miss some sense of progression and don't really know if i die or that the level just progresses. But the style, music and gameplay match super well.
Sperms, Please by Mnemusyne 2014-12-08T16:47:00
Good mood setting. Music, visuals and gameplay match perfectly. It is a very relaxing game. Good for the evening.
Snowman Strategy by wilpel1234 2014-12-08T16:40:00
Fun small game. I liked the progression with the turrets and enemy speeds. The magic didn't work for me for some reason. Also, when you place a turret on a surface where you can't put it, it does remove the money. Could have used some music for in the background.
Orion by feiss 2014-12-08T16:35:00
Great experience. Lots of stuff to do, only the launch was a bit tricky to do at first. Played it almost 3 times in a row, loved it so much. I really got sucked into the experience. Great art, great sound effects. Lovely absence of music. If you had time to improve some things, make all the gauges and levers inside the cockpit, the menus pull you out of the immersion.
Untraveled by khahem 2014-12-08T16:19:00
Super cool puzzle platformer. Got see hooked from the beginning. Would definitely want to see a full game from this concept with some extra mechanics. Love the art direction and the sound design. Also like the absence of music. Gives more space to think.
CO₂MBAT by KonoMizure 2014-12-08T16:13:00
Keep working on it man! See it as a great way to learn all this stuff. If you set a few date goals to finish, I am sure you'll end up with something great!
Kaleidoscope by Madball 2014-12-08T16:12:00
Fun easy to understand game. The amount of levels is very nice and the controls feel responsive. Music is a bit repetitious but thematically ok.
Light by Lamiche 2014-12-08T16:09:00
Nice short game. Like the lighting but I don't quite understand why shome lights stay on and why some don't. The mechanic with the angled walls is very cool to see. But could be used with more puzzles. Music sounds nice, but the phasing is to fast for the slow type of game. Am I done after the screen fills with darkness? Great artstyle.
Mux - A game about a guy who stole drugs from aliens. by Zolkren 2014-12-08T16:00:00
I don't know what to say. I didn't really like the game since it was very generic and felt like something made in 2 hours. Sorry. But I didn't really like it.
Castle Crush SAGA by CatOnMars 2014-12-08T15:52:00
Very novel concept, I like the mashing of genres. However it is somewhat buggy if you want to move the block the character is on. Maybe prohibit this? The music didn't really fit the theme the game was going for, but it is great that there is any at all. Maybe some sound effects would also help. Overall a good game.
Litelane by furriKira 2014-12-08T15:48:00
Super cool game! Works fantastic and is full of features. Good music, sound effects and plays like a boss! Almost looks like the game was made as a commercial product. Such amaze. The joke with the spelling was great. Just awesome.
Black Hole Surfer by tripleVisionGames 2014-12-08T15:40:00
nice little game. I love the art style you were going with and the whole old school scanlines thing. It is very colorful. However, why did you go for geometric shapes instead of asteroids and planets? This seems to be more fitting to the vibe and theme. Music is also very well done. Very ambient.
Sledge Masters by roktom 2014-12-08T15:33:00
Cool game to play. Graphics look quite amazing and the theme of the game really gets me into the christmas mood. This game would benefit so much from a little bit of sound and music!!! I would definitely play this on my phone if it had some way of progres. Usable items, powerups ala mario cart like boosts etc. Also, bro tip, clear the first few meters so people can test the controls and adjust to them. Sometimes there spawns a snowman right in front of you. Since you are Jam contestants, get some 'opensource' music to accompany the game.
Falling Dots by gikdew 2014-12-08T15:29:00
Aw, I want to try this game!! But I have no android device, would there be any chance of getting a PC port?
Picofrio: Shadow Play night by ManuSaiz 2014-12-08T15:27:00
The game is a bit bland. Also, the start position is absolutely horrible as an introduction. It is way to hard to progress. The freeze mechanic is quite novel, though. But please state that you use spirits from other games. The portals didn't work for me, they didn't warp me trough the level, or are they just for spawning enemies?
Crowdsourced by tigerbyte 2014-12-08T15:22:00
Cool new game concept. I like the idea and it is fun to play. The progression is a bit steep to keep the match growing with new fighters, but a good challenge. Art and music could use some work but the core is well thought out. AI seems also reasonable.
Tobias is Running Alone by coded_ninja 2014-12-08T15:18:00
Cool mechanic for as for the energy system. However, it is a lot of waiting for things to happen. Since you just wait in front of an enemy to regain enough energy to punch it in the face. Platforming is solid and the beer thing is quite funny. The music didn't really stick with me and came of as somewhat somber and repetitive, but good effort non the less.
Project 327 by jn327 2014-12-08T13:35:00
Interesting idea, but there seems to be no strategy. We just started firing and the one who started also won. But the art looks good and the game is easy to understand and play. Cool option for more players, i like that.
Dungeon of Jest by Ithildin 2014-12-08T13:32:00
Nice short game. Plays well and controls well. Art style is decent, but could use some work. The colors on the characters don't really fit the world. The rest of the textures are good. Good implementation of the them into the game. HTML5 version is super awesome.
DEBATE by anokta 2014-12-08T13:29:00
Couldn't play since no one was there. But i understand the concept well enough. Cool idea, awesome graphics and good sound. However the intro lasts far too long. Tried all my buttons to check if the thing actually worked.
LD31 - FuFuFuel! by hectorhon 2014-12-08T13:23:00
Very good attempt for a first ludum dare, keep up the good work. Menu works great and adds some progression. I would like to move though, adds a bit more interaction. Or let the player fire himself. But its a general problem of the genre. Artstyle is well done.
Mr. Jones and the Dark Maze by Absor 2014-12-08T13:20:00
Cool idea. But how do you slay the enemy? It would be handy to see how many flairs you have, since you can only seem to fire it once? But I don't know. Art style is cool but I'd like for the camera to zoom in a bit.
Gridception by Hammers 2014-12-08T13:17:00
Super cool concept! I love the puzzles and the effect is quite amazing to look at. Awesome gameplay. The graphics could use some work.
A Game Of Life by liamtwose 2014-12-08T13:14:00
Definitely needs some work. Also the feedback to what you are doing is lacking. The idea doesn't really come across to me. How do I gain carma? Can I talk to people? Art style is interesting.
Mosaic by Doctor Broccoli 2014-12-08T13:11:00
Sorry, can't run the game. Instant crash. :( (windows 7 64 bit)
Memories of Seasons by ncannasse 2014-12-08T13:10:00
Interesting way to tell a story, which is very well portrayed and written. I could imagine playing a fully fledged game of this with a little more polish. The pixel art is cool but a bit oversaturated and too much contrast for the story. The changing seasons is a cool concept and the theme was very well implemented.
Elf Hunter by Kim Sjöberg 2014-12-08T13:03:00
Reasonably good game. The graphics are well done and the music fits the theme. However, I don't really like the reload mechanic, I understand why, you need to give the player a reason to not shoot, but this is not the right solution for this game I feel. Also, the best (game breaking) strategy is to stay at the fire and let the elves bring the packets to you. You have no reason to pick them up yourself.
This Is How It Comes About by DesignerNap 2014-12-08T12:59:00
Looks interesting, but I can't get past the star and moon scene. It seems that you need to find all the stars, but the moon keeps falling. Very artsy.
Avoidotron by StabAlarash 2014-12-08T12:53:00
Fun little game with fast gameplay and a very well done artstyle. Looks inspired by super crate box without the shooting. Which is a good thing. Would love to be able to jump, but I understand why you would leave it out. This game would benefit from insta-death since you are going to die anyway when in a corner, why wait?
Main Menu Fighter by Legiion 2014-12-08T12:50:00
Simple gameplay, simple graphics and easy to understand controls. I don't really see how the theme was implemented but it is relatively fun to play. PRO tip: make a web player version, more people will play your game that way!
Space FireFighter by naufr4g0 2014-12-08T12:45:00
Small little fun game. Love the style of the graphics and the NES vibe. It would be cool if bumping into walls would damage the ship. And the propulsion is a bit slow-ish. Good game!
ScreenArena by tiffi 2014-12-08T12:42:00
Fun game, love the screen shake. However the controls are horrible. It would be better if you could walk with wasd/arrows and then face towards the mouse when attacking. Now the movement is awkward.
OhYeah! by Tinimations 2014-12-08T12:40:00
This game is amazing! The slow motion effect is really cool! Adds a lot of excitement. The bullets are small enough to dodge and the characters look so well done! Animations and textures are quite good. Love it!
RoomBoy(tm) Cleans Your Home by kalugny 2014-12-08T12:36:00
Cool concept, get the whole fright night at freddies vibe here. Controls are a bit weird because of the camera angle. The battery could be a bit shorter to make the cleaning more of a challenge. The map is really a must! Also, good use of the theme!
Bit Raiders (multiplayer) by Hexicube 2014-12-08T12:31:00
Game looks like fun, however after 5 seconds of play the game just crashes. I won't vote of course. But the idea is cool. Not very innovative but seems to work fine as for the rest. Shooting arc is very handy.
First of Many by Anikki 2014-12-08T12:28:00
The game looks really good, however it is very hard to distinguish the different ground types. Was hard to look for dirt in particular. And what is the win/lose condition? I wasn't able to find that yet. The game also lacks challenge.
Clear Screen by Valtaroth 2014-12-08T12:23:00
Cool game! Very fully featured and looks quite done. Gameplay is fun and the strategy is very apparent. Also the tutorial is very nice. Theme was well implemented.
Fizz-X by Cheetoturkey 2014-12-08T12:19:00
Most fun game that I have played so far. Good graphics and fun gameplay. The hit was definitely a must. But after 10 minutes of play the game becomes way to easy.
Life is not a Game by Gwilym 2014-12-08T12:08:00
Once you know the rules for game of life, the game is practically too easy. If you don't know the rules, the game is pretty random.
Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-08T12:05:00
Graphics are very good, however there is little to no gameplay. Which is not so good.
Captispila by robodylan 2014-12-08T12:00:00
Fun little game, however it seems that one ball falls faster than the other, which seems unfair. I played it multiplayer for a bit and it seemed lots of fun. However, I wouldn't play it another time later.
Dungeon Tactics by sensenmann666 2014-12-08T11:52:00
An interesting concept, but the execution is a bit lacking. The art looks cool and the inventory is very impressive. It is however not really clear what type of attack is effective against the fully shielded goblin(?). Since we both seem to do just 0 damage. Is this a bug? Nice Idea for the theme and a cool take on the RPG genre.
The Paper Dance by TravisChen 2014-12-08T11:43:00
Very interesting good looking game. The gameplay is bare, which is bit sad. But the art direction is very nice to look at. I love the paper cardboard style and the vibe is very well pronounced. The game also looks fairly polished.
Ocean Crossing by andysolace 2014-12-08T11:31:00
Fun game, however it seems very random to win. After trying 5 times, I couldn't get to the other side. Is this the message? The text that displays is very cool though. One thing of improvement, maybe show the controls here or in the game? I didn't know you could move up and down until the 5th try.
Square by onilink_ 2014-12-08T11:27:00
A very complete looking game. However on normal the blocks fall way too infrequent (in the first 10 minutes of play). The tutorial also is a bit slow and I would like a skip button. As for the rest, it looks and plays super solid.
A Major Mystery by bobismijnnaam 2014-12-08T11:18:00
Pretty cool short game. To bad there is no sound as for feedback. The game does work well and the theme is apparent.
