LD21 — Escape

cosmoZ by rockford 2011-08-22T22:03:00

Hum... The game works well on OSX (was made on OSX...). There is no controls except SPACE to play, and then use the mouse. There is a short help pressing "I" from the menu screen.

cosmoZ by rockford 2011-08-23T12:39:00

Please rate my game. I know it is a weird concept, but worth a play! Once you understand the mechanics, it's quite fun and very innovative.

Please note that the game play with the mouse. Except the menu (shortcuts displayed on the screen: SPACE to play, I for Instructions (ESC to quit instructions).
There is some bugs (invisible sentinels...) bu I don't know if I can fix before end of rating...

cosmoZ by rockford 2011-08-23T13:05:00

Yes you're right. The "wait too long" is the issue of the mechanic. I think to implement a better gamefield generator, and a tweak to avoid this, but it's was not possible in 48h. Thanks for playing!

cosmoZ by rockford 2011-08-31T08:54:00

Thanks DrPetter for the amazing advice! And thanks all for encouragements.

LD24 — Evolution

Pursuit Of True Self by Kyoutashan 2012-08-29T20:48:00

Very smooth! Did you shared the source code?

LD26 — Minimalism

Minimal Leapings by ben657 2013-04-29T09:04:00

Yes very fun, yet very hard. Got 105 and a headache :)

Ten Levels by rujo 2013-04-29T10:10:00

I like it! Remind me the Atari 2600 or other Amstrad CPC of my childhood! Thanks for the fun.

Nothing is True by DiscoFish 2013-04-29T08:26:00

Did not understand the point (perhaps there is not :)) but had fun to try every animation. I wanted to win something however, or have the feeling to progress on a aim.

123456789 by piman 2013-04-29T09:20:00

Fun after a lot of trying to understand what is the point :). Yet still hard sometime, and not sure I understood everything.

The Forgetful Little Square by Idovoodoo 2013-04-29T08:58:00

Very good game. However, quite repetitive but a lot of potential to make it less.

cGame by deeJayUA 2013-04-29T10:04:00

Nice. Not sure it's fun to play often, but good job.

I'm Not a Paper Person! by Linus Lindberg 2013-04-29T08:46:00

Quite fun, well done, very playable, however repetitive.

Ludum lupus by Yozz 2013-04-29T09:10:00

Was hard to rate it. It's amazingly done, very immersive but not so fun at the end because of: use of keyboard keys (not minimalist, and not european keyboard friendly), and brutal end (not wanted to start again, too long to reach the wolf...). Well done however.

MiniCity by ToastyAbraham 2013-04-29T09:34:00

Fun but hard :)

ppet -- a random tamagotchi permadeath sim by ede 2013-04-29T10:17:00

Nice, yet not sure a Tamagotshi is a real gameplay :)

The Minimalist Fisherman by Hiku 2013-04-29T09:30:00

Not playable on an european keyboard :(((. It's so easy to use arrow keys yet... Nice introduction and smooth.

13 Squares by aduros 2013-04-29T09:24:00

Amazing :)
Lack the audio :(

GHOSTS - Minimalistic horror game. by bummzack 2013-04-29T09:57:00

Amazing!!! Minimalist and scary!! Sometime "Press any key" do nothing, I have to press and press...

Prison Retreat by JaydenB 2013-04-28T15:09:00

Like it. Too slow to push the crates (and I'm not sure its needed to win?).
Procedural level generator should be a great feature (for later versions :-)).

Budget Squad by deepnight 2013-05-01T15:44:00

No really "Minimalist" but amazing.

Mini Car Racing by rockford 2013-04-29T09:48:00

I fixed what can make the game freeze (however never got a freeze from my side). Thanks for the feedback!

Mini Car Racing by rockford 2013-04-29T13:24:00

Freeze bug fixed! I had to remove the engine sound for that, it's buggy on Firefox, perhaps due to the loop or the volume change when acceleration. The game is better under Chrome.

DudeJump by agnulf 2013-04-29T10:37:00

Fun but hard.

Sanity by JonRB 2013-04-29T09:54:00

Nice but hard to progress despite being blue...
You should use arrows on a keyboard because it's AZERTY friendly.

InVS by Canyon 2013-04-29T08:51:00

Hard to play on an European keyboard, using the arrow keys should be a better choice. I did not understand how to win despite trying. But it's quite nice however!

i by Muu? 2013-04-29T10:01:00

Nice, however repetitive at the end. Nice animation and blood! Lack sounds.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

SCRAMBLE SLUG by rockford 2014-12-08T08:05:00

Thanks Ovidios!
To collect fuel you have to destroy the fuel tanks :)

SCRAMBLE SLUG by rockford 2014-12-10T13:28:00

For oscalbal: You appear in the car, and it drive alone. You'd explode on the first crate I believe :)

SCRAMBLE SLUG by rockford 2014-12-10T13:29:00

For Fnkee and Orangy: woaw, great to read! I definitely want to dig in the concept and create more levels.

SCRAMBLE SLUG by rockford 2014-12-29T18:42:00

csanyk, yes definitely :)

Globo by punkto 2014-12-10T12:46:00

Nice. But the gameplay is not obvious, I tried several minutes before being able to push the balloon (I needed to keep the mouse button down). Regarding the theme, from my POV, you did not stick with it. There is several levels, so the game is not "entire" on the screen.

Clickity Click by broknecho 2014-12-10T12:50:00

Good game, in the mood of the click games you can find recently (which I'm not a fan).

Grandpa's Grid by NoGrapes 2014-12-09T07:54:00

Quite fun to discover, hard to play. I like the idea to play some small shapes on a paper.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

99 Steps by George 2015-12-22T00:03:00

Amazing!! Played on my Android and will definitely play again!

BaseExt by Tyler 2015-12-14T17:43:00

Nice to play, nice to look at. Kudos.

Heroes of the City by Winter 2015-12-14T09:17:00

Is there a real Web version? The link goes to itch.io... I would like to play, I like the visuals.

Super Lefty Garden Fighty by hexagore 2015-12-14T17:35:00

Hey... What can I say... Amazing! Nice and solid.

Santa goes to town by rockford 2015-12-15T11:30:00

Thanks everyone for the great feedback! And for the new comers, please share your comments (and the level you reached :)). Merry Christmas!

Ortogonalis by pjimmy 2015-12-14T17:50:00

So clever!!!!!

Stem by Yamzho 2015-12-14T17:48:00

So cute. Miss some challenge at a time, but very good idea and stick to the both themes! tks

OH GOD NO by shcromlet 2015-12-14T18:12:00

An Haxeflixel game!! (I'm using HF for my professional productions). Nice to play, and very fun, the idea to play "in a game" while a human is playing is fun.

Isoshoot by kiiro94 2015-12-14T18:18:00

I a big fan of particles... Thank for feeding me with a so fun gameplay. Smooth game.

Emergency Cleanup by dcRfj15 2015-12-16T12:40:00

Fun to control, but did not find obvious what to do and where to go... I can see a room with red lasers on the right but no way to enter.

Seven Cannon Army by r8berto 2015-12-14T17:04:00

Nice! Love the visuals and colors, back to GB :)

Zunus by Jonathan Whiting 2015-12-14T18:25:00

OMG... amazing. Remind me Elite. Playable, smooth, amazing visuals, nice content... My favorite until now.

Grow Up! by sergear 2015-12-14T17:02:00

Too hard some time (not fair when you cannot see what's coming) but good mood and nice visuals!

Taskeys by shanton 2015-12-14T17:58:00

Innovative but hard to master :)

Nine Panels by Chaserbrown 2015-12-14T18:16:00

How a nice way to stick to the theme! Nice to play.

Last Fantasy Harvest Sun by AranHase 2015-12-14T16:32:00

Cute! Not fully fun to play because of the two buttons, bu stick well to the theme :)

Plutonium FREE by gokottastudio 2015-12-16T12:35:00

I like!!

2 Roll by lawendt 2015-12-16T12:45:00

Reached 111 seconds with some fun :)

Stardust by Charzendat 2015-12-14T18:09:00

The funny thing is that is the game I spent the most time... but not able to understand how to play :))) I like the visual so much, and the idea to create a star... so I tried tried... Nice like playing a ZX Spectrum game without the manual :)

Soup by utgarda 2015-12-16T12:51:00

Remind me agar.io, very fun.

Feed the Queen by sitronTe 2015-12-14T18:20:00

A fun and playable Flappy bird :) nice work

The Almighty Spectrum by KoalaBot 2015-12-14T17:53:00

I like! Rainbow island powered!

Waku Waku Buffet by JD557 2015-12-14T16:34:00

Yeahhhh nice, remind me tapper on arcade

LD36 — Ancient Technology

The amnesiac adventurer and the Temple of Doom by rockford 2016-08-31T08:09:00

Haha I understand :) but try to remember the traps. Like in Rick Dangerous.

The amnesiac adventurer and the Temple of Doom by rockford 2016-09-14T17:23:00

Thanks Csanyk ;)
Actually, the traps are not random. The point is to remember the place they are, to avoid them session after session.
I understand for the tiny graphics, another psychotic gameplay choice :)

LD52 — Harvest

Flowers in C by imyellowfish 2023-01-09T06:46:13Z

Nice. I was a little bit confused to not really know if I need to press space under the water or on the bar. Nice music.

The Wheat is Yellower by js_ 2023-01-09T17:11:30Z

I liked the feeling to harvest like a car race!

Fruit Harvest by Rainsong 2023-01-09T06:35:19Z

Nice start. Unfortunately many fruits are falling outside of the screen and nothing new happens.

Scoopy the Spoon Thief by miraculousMelon 2023-01-10T10:10:59Z

That is fun! The sound adds a lot to the stress! Nice achievement for your team.

Moon 2023 by Ladymarengo 2023-01-09T06:53:04Z

Like the mood!

Harvest Mole by Yumepix 2023-01-09T07:55:27Z

Nice! Amazing visuals and very well implemented. Not easy to target the moles, the hit box is visually accurate but not accurate for the player, this should be more intuitive.

Inter-dimensional Asteroid Harvester by Deepfreeze 2023-01-09T09:59:26Z

HTML5 version is laggy and not playable. Nice GFX.

Busy Farming by Pedryx 2023-01-09T06:31:46Z

Nice to see more games made with Monogame <3. Nicely coded. Fun when you know what to do. I found the watering very difficult and frustrating. Got several seeds dead despite rain and watering.

BUGGED by MangoWorks 2023-01-09T17:15:05Z

I like the voice! Very nice and clever. Did not manage to play again without rebooting the game.

The Gluten Farm by rockford 2023-01-08T17:02:06Z

Please let me know your score!

The Gluten Farm by rockford 2023-01-15T20:20:01Z

@Wouter52 Thanks for the feedback! The font menu is from Dafont. The ingame font is drawn by me. Regarding the export from tic80: I'm not an artist and I found very easy to draw 8x8 sprites with limited colors. The tic80 is perfect for that. I understand for the download but I wanted to use Monogame for this one and it doesn't support web.

The Gluten Farm by rockford 2023-01-16T07:50:22Z

@wouter52 Good point for the installer. I now propose with or without. Actually I changed for an installer because some people complained to have to seek for the executable in the archive :) Just to mention it's not my first entry, I did 3 more LD in the past but on the former website.

Thrown Harvest (for LD52) by matimat 2023-01-09T10:33:34Z

Very difficult :) but quite original and playable.

Jacques Boomer's Garden by Globul 2023-01-10T10:13:39Z

Bombjack and the carrots. I liked it.

Nesting by HypernoodleJon 2023-01-09T06:48:58Z

Liked it a lot!

Big Veggies by Raphytator 2023-01-09T08:59:04Z

Nice and original mecanic to stick with the theme. Fun!

sky farmer by halil gelen 2023-01-09T06:38:30Z

Surprisingly, I manage to edit your game pageCapture d’écran 2023-01-09 073819.png!

Kobold Fishing by Gawain Doell 2023-01-09T07:16:46Z

Best game I played until now for this Jam. The audio brings so much fun and the click/release button mecanic is so easy and fun.

Backyard Fruitball by twchapman 2023-01-09T06:58:44Z

Nice idea! Fun to play. I played alone, but I get the point, should be very fun playing with a friend!
