LD26 — Minimalism

GRAViTRON by grimpunch 2013-04-28T14:01:00

Quite a nice one.

Certainly agree with the other comments about the player, but the visuals are great, and the controls work fairly well.

I'd be tempted to have the camera lead the player a bit, just to make it a bit easier to not run into a black hole - but regardless, it's a great little game.

Great atmosphere - the way it slowly builds up was quite rewarding.

PONK by Sos 2013-05-01T06:34:00

C64 for the win.

Fun little pong game - though not so much when you have the emulated joysticks setup in a weird way ;)

On Minimalism by richy486 2013-04-28T20:07:00

Excellent game. Tone really fits in… and the controls are spot on.

On Minimalism by richy486 2013-05-01T06:48:00

Great fun. Certainly is a tad brutal - but the challenge was well worth it.

Quite recommend it :)

C [DOT][DOT][DOT] by GamingYourWay 2013-05-01T05:56:00

Quite like this one.

Love the effect when you drop a bomb - makes the act of doing so rather epic.

Only thing I'd really change would be the scrolling - the fact it was tile-by-tile instead of a smooth scroll made it feel a little odd, but besides that, there's certain a great little gem here which you could take further :)

We Call it Tactics by the31 2013-05-01T06:08:00

Nice little RTS.

Agree with the need to be able to get more units. Would also be nice (in an expanded version) to have an objective to attack or something.

Certainly has a lot of potential for a larger scale game :)

Platonic Dot Solid by Prelucid 2013-05-06T10:20:00

Really fun.

Did find myself cursing a bit with the jumps, but as others have said - the respawning happened to make it less of a pain.

Certainly some grounds for a great game. Will try to go back & finish it.

Dark Wayne by lasergans 2013-04-29T21:38:00

Interesting - the mechanic to switch layouts certainly leads to some interesting level design.

qob by alts 2013-05-01T06:13:00

Interesting little puzzle game. Would have loved a solo mode, but besides that, it's certainly an interesting concept.

The Haunting of the Torus by Zoidbergtron 2013-05-01T06:44:00

Like the reverse firing mechanic - only downside is that the playfield feels a little too constrained - so it's fiddly when you're run to the boundary and can't move any further to get it to fire correctly.

Feel like the Torii was a little over powered - probably needs some feedback as well to signify that it's actually been hit.

Still, there's the groundwork for an interesting little blaster though :)

Blockade by Inf 2013-04-28T13:59:00

'tis quite fun. Interesting little take - I can imagine the visual being a representation on some battle computer or such.

It did throw me off at first being two player, but besides that, it's a good little strategy game.

MiniCity by ToastyAbraham 2013-04-29T21:27:00

Nice version of the concept.

Found it a little too fiddly to place roads & buildings though - would prefer a smaller grid (and uniform roads).

Impressive to see a simulation like this in the 48 hours though :)

Yellow Space by Leginar 2013-05-10T08:53:00

Great job with the feeling of speed - you really do feel like you're getting faster as you speed up.

Controls work great too, and the style is certainly a great one for minimalism. Low polygon graphics for the win :)

Ma Mini Slim by LaceySnr 2013-05-01T06:54:00

Quite a fun little one.

It can be a challenge though (I was stuck on that second stage), but I did have a few laughs based on how my little robot did collide into things.

Certainly worth checking out :)

Rebound - Creatively Bankrupt by mchaza 2013-04-29T09:51:00

Interesting take. Controls feel rather solid, and it's quite fun scrambling to get the pole to rotate properly so it can be propelled through the stage.

Mobius by 3beards 2013-05-10T05:57:00

Great use of a 1-button control scheme.

Very unique little platformer - certainly was a great challenge, and a nice take on the genre.

Minima by CagedRat 2013-04-28T13:55:00

It's interesting. Unsure what it is - but it's got a rather unique little quality to it.

Jumps-- by revilossor 2013-04-29T21:51:00

Some solid challenge in this one, along with some nasty (in a good way) level design.

Quite like how it took the basic platformer trope & added the limited jumps.

.Dot by sudojess 2013-05-06T09:45:00

Quite dug the audio & visuals.

Neat ability to stop the level, but I think the ability should be time limited - so it's a challenge to have to set it up right, instead of the hold it down constantly which could be done.

Should be interesting with more levels though :)
