City Clicker by iwiws 2016-09-07T14:42:00

I got too much rock and too little food. It took me a while to understand how districts and buildings work. I'm not sure what the end of month button is for.

The Polaroid by dissonent 2016-09-05T12:33:00

Kind of hard to understand without reading the comments

The Wheel by MrErdalUral 2016-09-05T12:24:00

Does turning around and hitting the guys ever benefit you?

Atlantis Builder by CyberStarLight 2016-09-05T12:01:00

The game is too big for the iframe in my browser.

Project Meteor by kfischer_okarin 2016-09-05T11:54:00

I could not dig deeper. Only one layer deep.

Lost Earth by Lênon Kramer 2016-09-05T11:36:00

The floor feels like ice, not stone. You need more friction or stopping when not moving.

Asteroid Wars by leondryaso 2016-09-05T11:10:00

Lots of Juice there! Great Graphics!

Pyramid AI by Deive_Ex 2016-09-05T11:01:00

I found it hard to control and never knew when I should go to the other side. I had to get really close (like 4 pixels?) to a cannon to enter it. Am I missing something?

Also using ZXC, mouse and arrows requires 3 hands. Maybe instead use WASD + E + Left/Right Mouse

The Ancient Tower by Skosnowich 2016-09-05T10:52:00

I think the floaty controls work to the game's detriment. I'd rather move fast, die fast, retry fast.

The House on the Right by WERT Studio 2016-09-05T08:31:00

I like the art style, but Igot stuck on the furniture and could not move.

LightBringer by Rakart 2016-09-05T08:26:00

Is this a Unity Game? Can you do a Linux build please?

Kites by VitasaMode 2016-09-05T08:22:00

I liked the music. The mouse was off in the main menu.

The Trade Network by scriptorum 2016-09-05T07:50:00

Nice puzzle game! At first I thought it was more about economy, but after the first level, I knew it was a puzzle!

20000 Pixels Into The Sea by blinry 2016-09-05T07:13:00

At first I thought the sailing mechanics were kind of simplistic, based off the tutorial lines, but then I tried to do what my dad taught me about sailing, and you CAN sail against the wind (well almost) like with a catamaran. Like going sailing with my dad, but without dad and way less puking into the ocean!

Left Behind by RockhopperGames 2016-09-04T10:33:00

Interesting idea and controls. 5/5 on mood!

La ciudad que ocultaba by Capitals 2016-09-04T10:25:00

The web and linux links don't lead to web or linux versions... :(

Fireworks Grandmaster by local minimum 2016-09-04T10:23:00

The music was very relaxing. The gameplay was sometimes hard to guess.

Happy Hunting Ground by Will Edwards 2016-09-04T06:30:00

Most "ancient" feeling game I played so far, with very calming sound.

Archeotech Digger by udo 2016-09-04T06:26:00

Not much here, reminds me of your killbot games. Was there going to be a resource system with different materials or more different buildings? I would enjoy a game with an economy/base building aspect.

Sunstone by cicanci 2016-09-02T12:22:00

I also made a viking-themed game, but my technologies were brewing (already ancient at the time) and longships (new then, ancient now).

Your game has a lot of boring downtime while you sail into whatever direction towards the current goal

DuUndSie by ASPePeX 2016-09-02T12:18:00

The game was sluggish (on android) and there ever only seemed to be one kind of pickup.

Pocket Worlds by systencegames 2016-09-02T11:18:00

More levels and some indication of turn times please!

Invent the Wheel by Delicious Code 2016-09-02T11:15:00

Can you ever do better than a perfect circle? The best solution seems the same in every level.

Guidance by Avalanche Games 2016-09-02T11:12:00

The levels were very simple. You could just move the mirrors one by one and follow the lights to the next mirror. Not much thinking involved.

Mechanics good, Graphics great, UI great, Levels boring.

Slime Siege by SigmanZero 2016-09-02T11:00:00

The slider interface is terrible on my 7'' screen. Maybe drag to move the cannon?

Battle Cards by PlonkyDonkey 2016-09-02T10:56:00

I really like the art style. I was not sure about the mechanics of the combat system. How many actions can you take? Do you take alternating turns?

Also I once got stuck with zero Mana, only spells and no potions.

I would encourage you to keep working on it to work out the kinks in the mechanics, the presentation, especially the simple UI is already top notch.

Old Man's Sky by Geared Games 2016-08-31T11:15:00

Short and sweet!

MES by RubiksJr 2016-08-31T10:01:00

Reloading takes some time, or there are limited reloads. I was out of bullets all the time.

No Mario's Sky by eigenbom 2016-08-31T09:08:00

Great idea, great graphics and music! I get that the floaty controls are meant to mimic the original super mario bros, but the minimum jump height was too high, the controls felt slippery, goomba hitboxes seemed at times both too large and too small, like you had different hitboxes for stomping and biting. I frequently got stuck in the level geometry.

Made of Steam by holgk 2016-08-30T16:53:00

The Keybinding help window does not fit into my browser. Can't click OK there.

Your Factory by oostap 2016-08-30T16:44:00

Graphics don't work in Firefox, game works in chrome. I find the time pressure very hectic.

Neon of Ancient by TeamEagle 2016-08-30T16:31:00

Pew! Pew! I didn't understand the lock-on in the first game, but the second game was a lot of fun!

Fly, balloon! by Togimaro 2016-08-30T15:54:00

Blood Sacrifice by concalf 2016-08-30T12:25:00

The controls are sooo hard on my touchpad! The names were a bit cruel!

Bonehenge! by colapolka 2016-08-30T12:23:00

The main character looks ugly and square compared to the rest of the game, even though you spend most of your time looking there! Otherwise: Great graphics!

Chariot Arena Battle by KayZ 2016-08-30T12:16:00

It does something weird when I alt-tab between browsers. It seems to queue the events and then shoots all arrows at once when I switch back. Great game anyway!

Unmapped by FiSilva 2016-08-30T12:07:00

I got level A cartography after I saw the compass. Interesting take on the theme. Maybe you could make the map bigger or the terrain less flat, because I can see the whole map from one place (or two if I'm thorough) in the middle.

Push Of The Ancients by HeyChinaski 2016-08-30T11:55:00

I like the idea, but it was a bit finnicky to guess if something is on the logs or not. A grid-based world might have been easier to read.

The Ruins of Proxima Centauri B by eott 2016-08-30T11:22:00

There was no feeling of speed. The player was slowed down by every bramble or spike. I second the suggestion for save points.

Marcus Aheneum Canalis by Rialgar 2016-08-30T10:14:00

That was orders of magnitude too hard! It would be nice if the ple-placed pipes were visually distinct from the rest.

Can you label the link Web(Unity Plugin) please? I can't even run WebPlayer games in Wine.

Galaxy Shift by KamikaziUk 2016-04-26T14:31:00

Linux version does not run on my machine. Just immediately exits after controller and resolution config

SandShifter by nesis 2016-04-26T14:06:00

Native version hangs on my linux notebook (I half expected it to on sandy bridge integrated graphics), but the WebGL one worked.

Cyan by rxi 2016-04-26T13:27:00

I really wanted to like it, but I fell down a lot and had to get back up again. Outright dying would have been better. I also had problems with the controls, but I am grateful for your consideration of non-US keyboards.

Railroad Shifter by dollarone 2016-04-26T12:17:00

Interesting mix of space-chem and tile shifting. The trains were very slow on my machine. Maybe your train speed depends on the framerate.

Formation! by Saladon 2016-04-25T15:55:00

I feel like there should be more basic combat mechanics so you can see *why* the wedge formation defeats the lines.

Claws shape by in3orn 2016-04-24T15:09:00

Disarranged by Sheep 2016-04-24T10:15:00

The reveal had me in stitches! It looks like it is a PSA about a Serious Problem and then that! Best mood, best humor!

But why do you jump?

Weaponshift by The Vall 2016-04-23T16:35:00

The controls felt floaty and I have no idea what the different weapons do or how they relate to the music. The attack animation of the player does not have enough weight, and the enemies do not telegraph their attacks.

The jump has the shape of the capital letter A instead of a parabola. The weapon animation has 2 frames and nothing interesting happens on impact.

The music idea sounded promising, but it can't carry the mechanics, level design and game feel all by itself.

Wake Up Shaple by Cosmologicon 2016-04-23T09:15:00

Good puzzle design, easy controls, even a story!

Shiftah by GaryS 2016-04-22T09:26:00

The music is very good. The graphics are okay. The mechanics are not particularly interesting, but not bad.

The controls and the feedback are where the biggest problem lies. The Rocketship feels like it has no weight to it. It feels floaty. There is too little feedback (The fire coming out when you accelerate is a nice touch though). The fast-paced action of the game really accentuates the kinetic aspect. Maybe try to experiment with different control schemes and wall movement speeds.

Also I got stuck on walls often. Maybe try to do x and y movement independently, so you can slide along a wall in y direction if x is blocked and vice versa (I learned this trick from Notch, by reading the source of one of his game jam games).

motion: a by sepharoth213 2016-04-22T09:05:00

An interesting not-game.

DRACUL64 by josefnpat 2016-04-22T08:53:00

Making a multiplayer shooter in LUA is a great feat for a game jam!

The wall graphics were all the same and it was hard to tell where I was. It would be nice if the level layout was a bit clearer and more distinctive. Maybe some stuff on the ground or interesting landmark-billboard.
A minimap would also solve the issue for me. Unfortunately, a minimap can not be "mini" under the low rez jam constraints. Maybe make a post-jam version with slightly higher resolution?
Finding your way around is not as big an issue gameplay-wise, as there is no place you need to be. It was just disorienting for me. The turn speed felt too slow.

I will try again with more players later and maybe re-adjust the "Fun" category. It's always more fun with friends.

Soko Match by francoisvn 2016-04-22T08:07:00

I really love the minimalist graphics and the polished animation. The difficulty was not too great or too small for a jam game.

I don't know how you could keep on increasing the difficulty and add a score attack mode, but that would really add replay value. Maybe a hard mode could have more columns and rows. Also the complete lack of audio feedback holds the game back a tiny bit.

Shifting Shapes by g12345 2016-04-19T12:58:00

The game is very well put together: I like the clean simple graphic style. I like the balance and the difficulty curve.

One point of criticism: I often shifted too far. I think it should not shift so fast when you hold a key.

Please make a post-compo version with some sound effect when completing a row and better controls!

This concept could also make for a fun phone/tablet game.

WolfBit by MatMortatti 2016-04-19T08:34:00

There is a link that says web, but it does not allow me to play in the browser. It seems you took down the webGL build. Now there are no downloads for Linux.

Sometimes your sprite does not turn turn around to look left, but goes left anyway.

Lightreach by cadaeibfe 2015-12-20T20:45:00

Great puzzles, great use of the theme. I wish the switches were connected to the bricks by wires. Right now you have to play the level one time to find out.

Kowloon Walled City by Yakka 2015-12-18T20:55:00

(I think your windows build still has debug files by accident.)

This is a great little puzzle/sim game. I like how it takes SimCity and turns it 90 degrees like walled city.

Your visual design is great in its simplicity.

-bob

Slash to Victory by Juin 2015-12-18T20:29:00

I did not get from the game what theme you were going for. Growth and leveling make sense. I liked the fusion of IWBTG and Rogue Legacy graphical style. The tiles look weird in their repetitive pattern. An alternative wall tile design to break the symmatry could have gone a long way. The controls felt somewhat loose.

Left-leaning by tayl1r 2015-12-18T16:20:00

Scary Snake by beastletsplay 2015-12-18T09:49:00

I see how it fits the theme "growing".

Quitting the game on losing can be very annoying. I did the same thing with my first LD game (also written in pygame). It is better to put something there like "Press SPACE to exit" than nothing at all.

Also some advice for coding things like snake and tetris: Try to keep the coordinates small (so lead_x_change in your code would be 0,1, or -1) and multiply by an up-scaling factor in rendering like:

pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay,orange,[XnY[0]*SCALE, XnY[1]*SCALE,1*SCALE,1*SCALE])

That makes it easier to change the resolution later.

- bob

Matrix Infiltration by ErelDev 2015-12-17T20:58:00

Very nice Audio and overall atmosphere. And a Matrix-Theme :D
But I think the gameplay should be more dynamic. You should not wait so long for the next move.

Plantown by ChrisAntem 2015-12-17T18:51:00

Looks great! I like the scale of the setting - everything tiny is big. After playing it a bit I managed to kill monsters, but never was succesful with growing anything. A simple improvements could be to always have a roulette running. - @OhHelloTilman

2 Button Garden by Calvin B 2015-12-17T18:35:00

Fun game. I can set the plant on fire and then drown it - a game over/restart screen would have been cool. The game is a bit too simple and easy - maybe random elements like rain that makes water less attractive would have been cool. Also it would have looked nicer if stage and timer where two seperate elements in the unity canvas. - @OhHelloTilman (writing from blubberquarks account)

Spindulum by yuigoto 2015-12-17T18:26:00

Very interesting game design, good fit to the theme. I think this has potential if the controls were made to feel better. Its too difficult to make small and precice movements, and the bigger movements don't feel special. For this kind of game I think controls are essential. If you experiment with cool controls (acceleration etc) and control difficulty by level design (how dots spawn etc) you might have an awesome game :). Also, if you are truly minimalist, maybe you can make all oranges and the red the same color? -@OhHelloTilman (using bobs account)

SNAP! by domo_demo 2015-12-16T21:20:00

Love the mood and the effects. And I don't think the game needs more of an explanation, it's pretty simple as it is.
Unfortunately for such a fast-paced, skill based game the controls are too hard/glitchy, especially jumping off ladders.
Otherwise it's a lot of fun and it looks really polished, well done.

LD33 — You are the Monster (14)

Devil's Avocado by DeadFragment 2015-09-03T15:25:00

Very well polished for a game jam entry. Missing a goal or an ending though.

Lights Out by Steven Miller 2015-09-03T13:13:00

Too easy, but very polished. Good job.

Unawere by TinyPlatypus 2015-09-03T11:53:00

Neat concept but there's no challenge, unfortunately.

Rogue Like Keeper by paquinn 2015-09-01T12:02:00

Is there any point to dungeon tiles taking time to build? Except to test the player's patience?
Otherwise I enjoyed it a lot.

Loch Ness by SnoutUp 2015-08-27T18:36:00

Interesting how similar some of the Nessie themed games are. Snake mechanics seem to jump at people when they think of Nessie.
This is a nice interpretation of that. The diving mechanic looks so cool.
It's a shame there isn't some more depth to it or at least more levels and some sound and music...

Loch Ness Monster : THE GAME by Darius 2015-08-27T18:31:00

I don't think I have much to add. This was fantastic. Loved the pixel art, the music, the sound effects. Hilarious.

It's really easy though, there's not much of a challenge.

I'm on a quest to check out all the Nessie games out there, since we made one too. This is the funniest and most fun yet.

Famous Nessie by DalaiLlama 2015-08-27T18:12:00

This looks so adorable!

It's maybe a bit too easy, you can just spam the eat button on land and don't even have to find the berry bushes. Also in the middle of the lake there's no way to be detected, is there? Maybe the difficulty is just right for a game for kids though. :)

I'm on the same quest as local minimum to play all the Nessie games out there (check out ours) and this one is probably my favorite so far.

Nessie: Hide 'n' Eat by Jerre 2015-08-27T15:43:00

Nice mood and a cool gameplay idea.
I agree with what everyone has said about just hiding in a bunch in the corner though.

You are the Loch Ness Monster by LeekAnarchism 2015-08-27T15:32:00

So. Hard.
But well done, nice to see another Nessie game. :)

You Are The (Loch Ness) Monster! by architect404 2015-08-27T15:13:00

More Nessie games! :)
I think a stealth game is a good fit for the theme. Also like the sunken bus. I guess maybe Nessie had something to do with that one...

Don't get caught in focus by local minimum 2015-08-27T15:00:00

We can never have enough Nessie games! ;)
It seems like your Nessie doesn't have a chance in today's world...
Another interesting take on the theme.

Nessie the Monster by jrserjeant 2015-08-27T14:45:00

Yay for more Nessie games!
This one is a bit unfinished, but I like the idea.

NessImpostor by maccam 2015-08-26T18:52:00

Kind of similar to our entry. I like the mechanics and the controls. Also the game over screen is quite clever.
Is there a win condition too? I haven't managed to reach it if there is...

Zombie Rush by facelesstheone 2015-08-26T18:40:00

I liked it. The audio was so unbearable, it made me take off my headphones after a few seconds and the graphics could be better, but a solid entry nonetheless.

It's a great idea, like everyone said.
It focuses on one interesting game mechanic, and it feels really cool. You are playing the entire zombie horde at once.
Also, you managed to make it just hard enough so it's interesting for a few minutes. Although on my first try I died right away to a soldier. :)

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon (24)

B000MERANG by TheBigShot 2015-05-09T17:52:00

I like the risk involved in shooting the boomerang. My only gripe is that you die when you touch the edge of the screen.

The N.I.D. Project by Somnium 2015-05-07T17:29:00

Great take on the theme

Terraforming by orangemoose 2015-05-07T17:17:00

I got stuck in the wall after a cutscene once and had to restart. Also the text scrolling is annoying. When I push a button, make it show ALL THE TEXT. Make pressing a button scroll the text faster until all the text is visible. The scroll speed is annoying and when I press a button it gets more frustrating!
Now I am stuck again!

Strength in numbers! One of the best games this LD!

Cosplay Chase by Finn Stokes 2015-05-07T16:21:00

Really unconventional take on the theme!

The Cheeseburgermogrifier by gaarlicbread 2015-05-06T19:12:00

The audio is great!

Bubble Becky by Dining Philosopher 2015-05-06T17:14:00

The controls sometimes feel loose when jumping and especially wall jumping. Could use some sound effects! Otherwise good!

Fathom by Joe Williamson 2015-05-06T16:55:00

This was you from scratch? This is amazing! It looks like the frogatte tiles by Jetrel!

Sun Wukong by Mr. Jif 2015-05-05T13:50:00

The game as a whole is quite good, but the level design is a mixed bag. The individual sections with the powerups are great, but the whole world is confusing and same-y. Put some landmarks in there, or give names to the rooms so players don't get lost. Also I died a couple of times because there is no way to look down a ledge, but i had to jump.

The Legend of the Yo-Yo Salesman by seankimdesign 2015-05-05T08:01:00

Great Mood and great take on the theme. I like thatyou don't just shoot yoyos, but they come back like yoyos.

A Good Tunnel Is Hard To Dig by Draknek 2015-05-04T18:30:00

I don't see how this game fits the theme. This is cheating! You can't even be rated on theme!

Flame Wars Episode VI: A New Post by rennbahncookie 2015-05-04T12:31:00

the github link is dead

Nuclear Autumn by phi6 2015-05-04T08:11:00

The camera, the mood and the scale of the thing are great but it it SO BUGGY. I tunneled through walls twice and got stuck. I will try the post-jam version later.

Negotiation Tactics by Cosmologicon 2015-05-03T17:53:00

This is either way too difficult or just way too fast. I need a pause button.

payload by rburema 2015-05-03T15:12:00

This game has the worst kind of programmer art and the help screen did not help me. The UI is kind of weird. I think it would be way easier with the mouse.

But despite all this, it was a fun game and I played it through, once I understood what was going on! I award you my Puzzle Game Award for surprisingly good game design.

Space Worder by ponk 2015-05-03T13:34:00

Your Hand drawn graphics are a nice break from all the 3d and pixel art

Mugslinger by IDidGame 2015-05-01T22:21:00

(@OhHelloTilman using the account to rate games) That you have to catch the mug to stay in the game is a really nice idea for the theme and an interesting game design idea with potential. Nice and fun game. I would prefer it if the difficulty would increase whilst you play, instead of having three levels. There was a bug where enemies stay in the scene when playing more than once (its a small game, so its easy eenough to press reload ;) ).

Panash & Plume by tikilittle 2015-05-01T19:12:00

(@OhHelloTilman using the account to rate games) The first time I played I did not understand anything... To be honest I thought there are two people that have the mountain in between and need to find each other ;). also did not remember that you can rotate qith q/e, which made the game a bit strange. But I liked the atmosphere, and got intrigued. Played it more and understood it, really nice idea and atmosphere, but the character controls could be improved, and some in-game explanation would be nice.

Deadly Roads by pythong 2015-05-01T18:52:00

Very nice game! Cool models, feels nice to play, and you want to get killed by everything at least once ;) - so its a good fit for the theme. (@OhHelloTilman using the account to rate games)

Rogue Planet by tompudding 2015-04-30T17:06:00

I have to try this game again on a beefier computer. The framerate was so low on my laptop that I tunneled through walls. I like the sound effects though.

-- by vegard1992 2015-04-30T16:30:00

This does not run on linux out of the box, because your parsing code returns "characters/bunny.png\r" when parsing bunny.txt. I had to run the file through dos2unix. Same problem with tiles.txt and level.txt. Fixing this in your Linux release counts as bugfixing.

Zoo Racing by refreshcreations 2015-04-30T11:40:00

This game is totally unplayable to me. It does not crash, but the camera looks up at the racetrack from under the ground for some reason. It starts out behind my character and then it drops down on "Go" and I can't play.

A Month in Z32 by Ammypendent 2015-04-30T10:34:00

Did you know that you upload twine stories to itch.io and have them play in the browser? Should be just as little work as making them available for download.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen (5)

Little Town by Wevel 2014-12-12T18:14:00

Good idea, I think it could be a cozy game to manage a town on one screen. - Tilman (from compo account)

Klikuest by Shigor 2014-12-12T17:50:00

Addictive, and a funny idea. - Tilman (from compo account)

DisChord by Grindstorm 2014-12-12T17:06:00

Very cool game. - Tilman (from compo account)

Council of Smiles by MatthewHolland 2014-12-12T16:57:00

Interesting idea, and I like the simple represenation with smilies. If work on this continues there should, in my opinion, be more feedback about smily opinion, for example some interesting ways to question the smilies what they want, etc., so if feels more like negotiation/player has more control. - Tilman (from compo account)

Rudolph by TijmenTio 2014-12-12T16:45:00

Santa is snow ball fighting with his reindeer. I like how snow on one square is a limited ressource, that does get replensihed by the snow fall. Fighting all the single reindeer feels a bit repetitive and it would be more fun if it was shorter. The conclusion of the story is good. Playing the game feels pretty good. - Tilman (from compo-account)

LD30 — Connected Worlds (22)

Dreamless by Dietrich Epp 2014-09-10T18:36:00

I could not run the binaries on my ubuntu 14.4. When I try to build it from source, it says

/usr/bin/python3: can't open file './sglib/script/config.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

WORLDS 2D by fleegle2000 2014-09-05T09:45:00

The Soundtrack reminded me of Hauschka and "A ride into the mountains". Consider the .love file tested on Ubuntu 14.4

Lethal Reflection by steve 2014-09-05T09:41:00

This feels so good! Your game is like the one I made, except better. It feels like it was made by grapefrukt (I mean that as a compliment, not that you ripped them off or something).

Layer by Doctor Broccoli 2014-09-05T09:10:00

For your information: this game does *not* run under wine on Ubuntu. Too bad, it seems like it could be easily compiled for linux too.

Cable Guy by Endurion 2014-09-05T09:02:00

I liked the audio ans the graphics (except for the ship), but the ship was way too fast for me.

Der Klappermann by Team Klappermann 2014-09-05T08:54:00

Hey Leute, macht endlich ne Linux-Version

Killbot's Last Adventure by udo 2014-09-01T17:59:00

A storyline over all your LDs. Neat! I like the 90s aesthetic (The lighting is totally off). Also the Okuda UI on the "Intrepid" computers is a nice touch.

Wallrun Dot Love by leafo 2014-09-01T07:33:00

I did not like the controls (or maybe the combat mechanics). The jumping was OKx, but the down-strike was impossible to execute consistently. Also the hitboxes seemed weird. I like the level design, especially the size of the levels. The movement of the character feels very fast because the levels are so big compared to him and because of the parallax effect.

Space Spy Story by reheated 2014-08-31T13:38:00

I do not know what I'm doing. Lots of confusing Puzzle Games this LD.

Kosmovalse by the 2014-08-31T13:21:00

Crashes on start on linux. Could not run from source because some files are missing

Awe by Oddly Shaped Pixels 2014-08-31T12:41:00

It's like the next step in the evolution of the genre after "Mountain". In this game, you can make more mountains. Brilliant!

Binary System by rogueNoodle 2014-08-31T10:56:00

I love how polished and juicy this game feels.

Delving by kakuremino 2014-08-29T18:05:00

I have no idea what i'm doing but this is amazing.Also this runs fine under Linux. I have all the gems installed from the last LDs still so no idea how hard this would be to get to run from scratch

Peregrinatio by Zerkruemler 2014-08-29T17:50:00

Very confusing. I have no idea what i am doing and progress by trial and error.

Blend and Bobble by rezoner 2014-08-29T10:27:00

I cannot construct a mental model of color blending well enough to call this game a puzzle game. I mostly succeeded through trial and error.

Astro Tycoon by goffmog 2014-08-28T11:21:00

Great game, but there is a planet that has a population of "0 million". That looks like a bug.

Heaven from Hell by Wevel 2014-08-28T10:42:00

Hey Wevel, what gamepad were you using?

Spanner by Cosmologicon 2014-08-28T06:13:00

I came here expecting an epic story like Flajoras Flask, but instead I got this puzzle game. It fits the theme very well.

You can accidentally build the same connection twice. I thought dragging connection again would erase.

Space Fight 3000 by teamawesome 2014-08-27T18:12:00

Nice! Reminds me of my Ludum Dare 22 game, with bigger Levels and AI, but without destructible Planets!

Space Fight 3000 (II) by ComaToes 2014-08-27T18:01:00

I like how big the levels are and the programmer art looks very charming.

Planets - A space odyssey by BuddaKaeks 2014-08-27T17:50:00

You hardcoded the file paths for the librarties so that it tries to load lib/windows/ stuff on Linux, even when I put the folder with the native linux lwjgl dependencies there. Please fix your paths.

Planetary Escape by peejaygee 2014-08-27T17:21:00

Hey, I have uploaded the Windows version of my game now, as you requested.

I got trapped in a corner pretty often in your game.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface (15)

The Valley Rule by Raiyumi 2014-05-17T17:51:00

You were channeling Phil Fish here. The character even looks like Gomez. And the waterfalls, the doors, the glyphs on the wall, the angular grass... I think you captured the best parts of Fez.

Also your level design is great. There are not many metroidvania games here at LD. I think it is because they need good level design for the whole world and the individual regions. Yours parts fit very well into the whole game.

unnamed game with a mole by x1212 2014-05-13T16:23:00

The game hangs forever on the title screen on my machine

Infinidig by mackthehobbit 2014-05-13T16:22:00

The game hangs forever on the title screen on my machine

Electric Sieve by ohsqueezy 2014-05-13T16:15:00

Neat concept and audio, but the flashing was very distracting. This could be a great game on android (with an option to disable the flashing). Take a look at pgs4a at pygame.renpy.org

Drill18: The Mars Project by quill18 2014-05-04T15:58:00

There is no Data folder in the linux zip! This should be easy to fix.

Scratch by bentosmile 2014-05-04T15:50:00

Hey bentosmile! I immediately recognized your style on the tiny thumbnail screenshot. I have played your visual novels on my Ouya. Air Pressure was - "fun" is not the right word - really engaging.

Mine Me Some Gold by Pixelulsar 2014-05-04T10:37:00

Best mining game dirt graphics I have seen in this LD!

pixel bat attack by enderosc 2014-05-04T10:23:00

There is no source link, but at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/20649427/#editor, you can look at the source, so this complies with the compo rules.

Battle Through Hell! by shatley123 2014-05-04T10:12:00

The zombies just ran up to me and killed me within half a second of opening the first door. Not sure if it's a bug with the simulation speed in the game.

Heavy Man by timtipgames 2014-05-04T10:02:00

It was difficult to aim the ass on a tank. I often hit one tank but missed another one next to it, that then drove onto me. I liked the music.

Rock Hound by Verrazano 2014-05-02T11:49:00

I tried to run it on ubuntu 13.10. It ran for a second after i clicked start and then it segfaulted

Gold Rush by GiveMeAllYourCats 2014-05-01T17:23:00

I played with the keyboard with WASD and I accidentally pushed CTRL+W when I tried to jump and punch and then the browser window was gone :(. Fortunately you also support arrow keys.

49: Get To The Core by freakpp 2014-05-01T09:12:00

Can you please make a .love file? I would löve to try your game on my machine and it should be easy to package.

Yadig - Yet Another Digger Inspired Game by anbreizh 2014-04-29T08:10:00

I have added a download with all dependencies bundled to my game.

I have also played your game. Looks like we had the same idea! I often got stuck when jumping up like here https://imgur.com/avNzrgW this was very frustrating.

Ad Astra by Cosmologicon 2014-04-29T06:07:00

The platforming seems very hard this early in the morning, so I have to postpone judging on this game. I loved Flajora's Flask and Tondie & Zupe so I have high hopes.

I have added a --big command line switch so you do not have to strain your eyes on the tiny pixels. I think this counts as "porting" to high DPI screens.

LD27 — 10 Seconds (19)

Feather & Son by Carduus 2013-09-01T13:29:00

The puzzles were great, but the time limit makes them really frustrating

10 Seconds to Lava by Folis 2013-08-30T09:15:00

Mouse sensitivity is waaaay to high for me (on linux). The camera is just spinning around

Hadean Rampage by Zephyr89 2013-08-30T08:09:00

I have tried your game on a faster computer and I really like it. Is there a way to change the mouse sensitivity?

MumiaSnowdenManning by Pinktreeleaf 2013-08-29T15:34:00

5 stars for black humor!

10 Second Roguelike by BadgerPriest 2013-08-29T14:52:00

Very obvious interpretation of the theme, but SO VERY FUN!

IMPETUS by Dominik Johann 2013-08-29T06:39:00

Was this 'the Cowpocalypse meets Curiosity'?

Dungeon Deadline by Orni 2013-08-28T19:58:00

Great fun! The game is fast-paced and the music is fast and catchy.

Last 10 seconds of planet Earth: Pollution Purifier! by Citiral 2013-08-28T19:46:00

I tried to play but the flashing was too irritating. You should put an epilepsy warning at the start of the game.

MegaPunch by Nick Weihs 2013-08-28T19:09:00

Seems like you made this with unity.
There is no webplayer for linux. Can you compile your game for Linux and Mac please?

10 Second Planet Destroyer by Matsuki 2013-08-28T12:56:00

Love the particle effects!

Combat Time!! by Sheep 2013-08-28T12:33:00

I love the beard animation! Works under Linux too!

Sixth of a Minute by Tork 2013-08-27T15:19:00

can you upload a linux build please?

Distress Signal by Kohijin 2013-08-27T06:35:00

I'd play if there was a linux build

Guest House by cardboard 2013-08-26T15:25:00

Unsolicited git/github advice:

You could run "git tag compo" and "git push origin compo" and then github creates zip files we can download from https://github.com/Cardboard/guest_house/releases without cloning the repo. Also as it stands now, the github page always points to master.

This game is awesome! You had the same idea as I had, but your execution is just perfect!

One annoying thing was that when my first two dudes died then I could still play the third, but one time the first two survived and the third dude died and all turrets were destroyed but I had to restart anyway.

But apart from that A++ would play again!

Lurker by Plu 2013-08-26T13:46:00

How did you package your game? I used pygame to write my game but I had no luck with py2exe.
