Last Chance Supermarket by Sebastian 2014-01-07T18:24:00

My favorite game!

Kage's Revenge by acerunox 2013-12-16T19:33:00

good game!
But you can´t see much, because it´s too small.

Caverns of the Curse of Greed by Espyo 2014-01-06T17:23:00

It´s not clear that you only have to get one gem.
The game is ok.

Verutum Aether by Rother Games 2014-12-08T14:56:00

Please remember to unzip it before playing!

Verutum Aether by Rother Games 2014-12-08T17:34:00

@ Madball
You need a very high level of each Technology to unlock a new rocket.
Hint:
At first do not spend much money on researching. It is better if you complete contracts first.

Thank you for reporting this bug.
I am going to fix it today.

TURN it UP by pkenney 2014-12-15T16:35:00

I love your game. Nice game concept, but it was hard to understand at first. I like also that you take your time to answer questions about your game and write comments at other games. You played my game yesterday and you found a hard bug in my game. Thank you for that!
If you want to you can play the new bugfixed Version:

My Screen by Dimitri0xFF 2014-12-27T11:31:00

I only survived 5 days and 17 hours.
Nice Game!

LD35 — Shapeshift

Cubes of Power by catchthefloaty 2016-04-19T16:38:00

I just can't jump.
I'm using a 64 bit Computer

Knightwolf by Ironhead 2016-04-19T16:52:00

I think this is a really good entry. The mood is nice and I liked the animations.
The only thing I would criticise is that the background is a bit blurry. Maybe it's just because my screen is very large.

LD38 — A Small World

Daffodil Village by Hjalte 2017-05-16T17:28:15Z

I would have like to find something special. But anyway nice game, with good graphics. Sometimes I couldn't read the dialogs because they were cut of by the end of the screen

Humanity Simulator by RabbitTortoise 2017-05-03T14:30:32Z

The concept was good, but the driving over the edges was annoying and I lost the orientation quickly.

Parvus Mundi by Antiwrapper 2017-05-16T17:36:27Z

Score: 82.5 seconds. The first 50s were easy, but then there were too much red squares. Simple but good graphics. After some time I found as tactic just to hold left and jump, while shooting all enemies.

Exoman by Rother Games 2017-05-16T16:40:26Z

@eli-delventhal, @dick-claus what OS do you use? (So I can make a compile for it next Ludum Dare)

Exoman by Rother Games 2017-05-16T17:02:00Z

@antiwrapper what is the maximum resolution of your screen? The shooting distance is calculated in pixel so probably your screen is smaller than the one I used to program the game.

CircuitWorld by Multitudes22 2017-05-12T22:30:01Z

It was a good puzzle game, but I was so easy that you can just place the wires randomly and it still works. A the texts in the bottom were to small. More levels, a bit more features, some more good looking graphics and it would be a perfect

The Aliens by Nnnnneeeedddd 2017-05-12T21:35:26Z

I play the non Post Compo Version. Solid core mechanics, but at some points I was a bit hard to control the rocket. As I bought a new gun and tried to compare it to the old one, I lost the new gun

U-Turn by benjamin 2017-05-13T17:56:00Z

A great game, with cool graphics and sounds. Sometimes when I pressed the jump button, the guy didn't jump.

Island Defender by MrChippy 2017-05-13T11:11:36Z

I liked the game, but I don't understand why you can just place 3 turrets. In the end I had lots of parts and had nothing to do (beside repairing everting). The sound a graphic are well done.

Natantes Paradisum by strong99 2017-05-15T21:17:43Z

Nice game, which looks very good. It was intuitive what I should do, but sometimes it was also a bit to easy. And I thought that the music was a bit annoying, but that is not this important. Good job

Planetary Escape by w1n5t0n 2017-05-12T22:19:23Z

It was quite hard not to hit a planet in the first 20 s. It was also almost impossible to shoot at the police, because I had to fly away all the time. Overall you had a good idea, but there are still some points in which the game could be improved.

A Small Planet by rayriver 2017-05-04T19:32:02Z

This is one of my favorite games so far. I liked the graphics and the animations, but sometimes it was a bit annoying to wait until i arrive at a some point I want to go to. The level design was great and I found all the parts.

Greedy Nations by Squatch 2017-05-09T14:14:09Z

Sometimes I don't know what to do while waiting for new population. It is also really hard to get the soliders where I want them (I would be much better, if you just select the city and then select the target).

Space Aliens Are Coming by RealityCheck 2017-05-03T14:10:15Z

Overall it was a good game, but I think the earth should be a bit smaller, so you have more time to react. In the beginning I lost most of my population, but happily it recovered, so I won the game in the end.

Small World God by Pecolyte 2017-05-13T11:26:22Z

I like the core mechanics very much, but I hate, that I have to light everything all the time. The graphics look good, but some sounds would be nice too.

Rocket Roller Space Polo by pkenney 2017-05-09T14:59:45Z

One my favorite games so far! The idea was very good and I had a lot fun playing the game, although it was impossible for me to win in ultra hard mode. Some background music and maybe a level selection with big and small asteroids. A local multiplayer would be really funny. So your game has a lot of potential and is well done for 48 hours!

A world too small and no jetpack by mikel 2017-05-15T21:28:23Z

Good and simple concept, but I was not able to escape. Every time I failed with the 5th or 6th bucket

Small World Resort Manager by udo 2017-05-04T19:13:09Z

It was a nice game, but after 10 minutes my island was full, people were unhappy, I had lots of money, but I couldn't do something to make my resort better. I would also like to play with bigger island and maybe upgradable buildings.

Caelium Alpha by jishenaz 2017-05-09T14:32:42Z

I would have liked to see gravity and instable orbits with planets flying around all over the place. And some more things to do would be good.

Our little island by tinyworlds 2017-05-15T21:23:12Z

Nice graphics and story, but the gameplay was a bit short. You could have build in some more things to interact with.

Little Fortune Planet by Flaterectomy 2017-05-09T15:39:52Z

The only problem I had was, that the earth was mostly gone before I had my 15th card. I like your Graphics and your posts about the mechanics. And the sounds were funny as well

Small Atomic World War by Kroute 2017-05-06T12:12:20Z

The interpretation of "small world" was really great. I enjoyed playing the game, but it was really hard for me to get over lever 20, because it was nearly impossible to control atoms with more levels and it was a bit hard to collect free protons (I wasn't able to get near enough fast enough).

Tiny Battlehex by meisterfuu 2017-05-09T15:26:28Z

A nice small game. First I had problem understanding how to move units from A to B but after I got it I defeated my enemy.

Ronut by toestee 2017-05-13T11:39:14Z

It was fun to play and I liked the particle effects. Maybe you should add a score counter.

Meteor Jam by PeachTreeOath 2017-05-02T20:45:46Z

I really like the game. In the beginning it was a bit hard, but in the end it was to easy, so I think it would be better, if you can respawn only 3 times.

Defense Against the Giants by mango-malarkey 2017-05-16T15:51:19Z

b.jpg

After 15 waves I reached a bug where the waves counter got higher and higher in seconds. You made nice graphics and I also liked your sounds very much. It's a bit hard to read the black font on a black background. But overall a nice game.

rocket ship by Zirrrus 2017-05-13T10:56:18Z

It was difficult to understand how get in a good orbit. Most times the rocket crashed after half a second or escaped the earth. A tutorial would help. Overall you did a good job and the graphics look good.

Monster Island by Baraa Marwan 2017-05-16T16:57:45Z

My hand hurts after that much clicking. The warrior is a bit useless and it's not good that I can't move left and up at the same time. My Highscore was 61.

Horizons by Joseph Benton 2017-05-02T19:46:26Z

It took me about 3 minutes to understand how to leave the first group of planets. The jumping physics were good, but I think the tutorial wasn't 100% logical (at least for me). But you did a good job!

Ant Domination by Wakobu 2017-05-12T21:48:14Z

It was stupid, but funny. And I don't get why people build the highest towers in the middle of the ocean, but if you ask this question, you should ask yourself, why a gigantic ant is running over the earth.

A Rat's Story by stupidpawn 2017-05-09T15:11:46Z

It was depressing to see how the people just killed all the rats. The pixel art was well made and the sound effects were convincing.

Entropy by SleepyStudios 2017-05-06T11:49:06Z

I like the idea of this game and it has potential for more future features. On a big screen it was really hard to see everything and I'm not sure if it's possible to win the game, but overall I like the game.

Survival Game by Anubhav Kashyap 2017-05-16T17:16:31Z

The graphics are good, but I didn't see much of a challenge in the game.

Virulence by Sputnik3D 2017-05-14T15:33:59Z

(I played the webgl version) Good concept, but It was a little bit hard to control it with the keyboard. When you collect more goo than the expected, the counter get negative and before you collect the first, the counter is 0. Overall you did a good job, but there a some smaller things you should fix.

Island Attack by turbo 2017-05-12T22:12:02Z

It was way to easy to bomb everyone form the top (where they couldn't hit me). It was really hard to control the plane and sometimes the game didn't respond to my input.

One Small Step by Tetristar-Interactive 2017-05-06T15:57:09Z

At first had problems understanding what to do. After I got it, it wasn't that hard to conquer every planet, but I still don't know why I should terraform a planet. (And you could have said, that the sun destroys the ships...). Anyway, the graphics were very good looking and you had a nice concept.

Tiny Dentist by JoshuaJumbles 2017-05-16T16:48:04Z

Interesting concept, took me some time to understand how to control this little guy. Overall a nice game

Golden Kapusta by Enerccio2 2017-05-12T21:59:11Z

It took me way to long to get the core mechanics. You should include a tutorial. Overall a good game, but it isn't nice to look at for a longer time and it gets repetitive after a short time.

My idea of A Small World by swrni 2017-05-16T16:20:52Z

Highest score: 150 (I'm not sure if it is possible to get much more points) The Graphics are very simple, as well as the sounds and the gameplay mechanics, so your game looks very finished. I think this game would be better as a mobile phone game, because it's a game you can play when you only have some minutes time. Overall, you did a good job!

Colonial Kart World by adamalexander 2017-05-04T18:57:06Z

I liked to destroy all the ships, but sometimes I had problem with the controls, because sometimes the mouse was more sensitive than other times. And all ship glitched up sometimes.

My Other World by Formona 2017-05-16T16:37:30Z

Amazing game. I love the art stile and the music. The first game was hard, but the 2nd and 3th were pretty easy. I hope you make some other cool game for the next Ludum Dare!

LD42 — Running out of space

Apparatus by JustinMullin 2018-08-18T23:37:02Z

I seems easy at first, but it failed several times until I got it. Innovative idea and fun game.

Farms and Polders Tycoon by sebbernery 2018-08-19T11:01:51Z

Nice game. I would like to see some other resources, like wood which you need to build buildings. The game starts in the 18th century, but the buildings don't look like 18th century buildings. Maybe add different building styles for different centuries?

Climate Change Simulator 2018 Chinese Hoax Edition by smbe19 2018-08-18T22:25:44Z

Nothing happend when I pressed play in the web version :( Win 10, Chrome

Where Stars Belong by NORRIMO 2018-08-14T22:09:05Z

Your game looks very good, but I didn't understand what I have to do

Stop breathing pls by Djack D Donovan 2018-08-18T23:58:07Z

funny game, but I'm not sure if there is a better way than just clicking very often. Also good graphics

The Last Data by Nelios 2018-08-14T22:33:13Z

This is probably the best title screen I have ever seen in Ludum Dare. The game really looks amazing

Garbage Compactor by negativegeforce 2018-08-18T22:39:56Z

At first I had problems understanding what I should do. After some attempts I survived.

Spaceman Kevin by Chupachu 2018-08-14T23:22:34Z

The Graphics are really nice, but sometimes the movement with the jetpack was a bit difficult.

Bloody Hooligans by Natwomb 2018-08-14T22:43:38Z

Interesting idea. At first I thought that it is pretty easy, but I didn't expect that many enemys

Cryptovirus by Corqi 2018-08-14T14:18:38Z

I liked the game, but the levels got very hard very quick. I would have liked some more levels with medium difficulty.

The Post-Grocery Conundrum by Luxry 2018-08-14T21:51:44Z

I like the simple but great idea of the game. But sometimes I was not able to put things back into the bag. The game would be less frustrating if you could just modify the order when you fail instead of starting with all things in the bag again.

To Infinity and Beyond by Olivier Millochau 2018-08-14T14:05:57Z

Nice game, it didn't took much time to understand the game mechanics, but I would have liked some more buildings to make it more challenging. I think was too easy to win the game

Orbiteer by BitPhinix 2018-08-14T22:19:09Z

I took me some time to get at least one satellite in orbit, but then I got better. But more than five at a time was not possible for me. Nice game!

Escape From Pompeii by ThatSommeS 2018-08-14T14:30:59Z

The idea is really unique and I like the style of the game. But the clicking got really exhausting over the time. And the game crashed often. If you put some work in it you could even publish it as a full game.

Escape From Pompeii by ThatSommeS 2018-08-14T21:23:26Z

I think there is another bug. The game crashed when I clicked continue in the shop.

Sthog by Jammin 2018-08-18T23:46:53Z

It wasn't really clear what I should do, but after some time I found it out.

Underground Trip by ALKubo 2018-08-14T23:04:34Z

I liked the sound effects, but it took me some time to understand the game mechanics

2058, A parking Lot in Space by pedroaz 2018-08-14T14:57:00Z

Really strange things happend when I got in a black hole. I glitched over the map and spaceships started to spawn inside each other (and I lost points for these crashes)

Storage Madness by rangoiv 2018-08-14T11:52:49Z

Very nice graphics. But sometimes the I had problem shooting because it didn't shoot exactly where my mouse was.

No More Space by _Kassjak_ 2018-08-18T22:51:20Z

Very well made graphics. After some time with one new file every second suddenly there spawned hundreds of files in very few seconds and I lost without any chance

Mars Web by RyanJavanshir 2018-08-18T23:07:19Z

Very innovative game! I loved how realistic this game was.

Inadequate Ark by Sean Turner 2018-08-14T13:47:54Z

This is a really nice game, but it was harder than I expected. I also took me some time to read and understand the rules. Simple rules, but not that simple to win.
