LD13 — Roads (30)

Calling it quits by jhauberg

Nice approach, even if it didn't make it into a game.

Night Cruising by PsySal

I liked: humor, story, polish

Could be improved: innovative elements

I'm going for a drive...

LD Road Racer by psnake

Started without problems on this setup
+ Python 2.6.1
+ Pygame 1.8.1 for Python 2.6
+ Windows XP

Bulldozer Blitz by Orangy Tang

Liked: Simulation approach, complexity(AI), complete presentation.

Could improve on: My "Space"-Finger got tired after a while.

"Sim City" meets arcade game with a deep philosophical message: You can't beat entropy ;)

DEAD END Will be at by OblivionCry

Amazing amount of modelling, rigging and animating and texturing in 48 hours. Really amazing.

Voyage, a puzzle game by nilsf

Likes: idea, car animation.

Could improve on: a marker for the empty tile and some kind of wrap-around at the edges maybe.

I had fun puzzling.

Tekicars4k by Morre

I liked: Here is the fun.

Could be improved: graphics/presentation/explanation

Can you build a level editor please? Even if it takes 5k ;)

Crazy taxi puzzling game by mathias

I liked: Idea (disclosure: I started from the same base idea), the twist having two vehicles, gameplay, fun

Could improve on: Graphics, presentation, getting-stuck-issues

This is definetly a game to develop further, already fun in the present state

The Road to Troy (probably final) by Lerc

Liked: Idea, Humor

Could improve on: Hard to control, mix of graphical styles, surprise moments, maybe some "Distance to Troy" meter instead of "credibility")

Don't kill the messenger. Kill them all. ;)

Final “Crossroads” by jovoc

Liked: Idea, fun, polished presentation, Journal

Could Improve on: Interface (Level Restart, On-Screen help), Mouse cursor off in the main version (800x600 worked)

G
Another
m
enjoyable

Frog Rescue by Jerm

Crashed (like you describe in the Readme). Could not get it to work.

Rara Racer by increpare

I liked: Brilliant.

Could improve: -

Wow.

Two Roads by Hamumu

I liked: simplicity, idea, humor

Could be improved: something like additional hints when player gets stuck

Buffalo Road LD13 by greencow

I liked: nice approach

Could be improved: ui, consistency in presentation e.g is the speech thing necessary?, replay value, difficulty

PizzaBitch by Sophie Houlden

I liked: Overall package, story, getting into, artwork, humor, 3D-Hover, UI presentation

Could improve on: Explanation (car starts to smoke, why? when?), scoring balance, controls, especially getting stuck on corners

Casual insider tip.

GBGames – Road LOCKDOWN! by GBGames

I liked: fun, coolness factor, presentation

Could be improved: control (very hard to turn sometimes), some more interaction/twist needed to keep playing

This is "GTA 1.5"

Left4Bread by Fiona

I liked: atmosphere, presentation, completeness

Could be improved: controls, collision handling (car/houses), sprite size (everything could be larger)

It makes obvious what you would achieve on a bigger budget.

Soltcras by DrPetter

I liked: cute, funny, reduction, sound made me laugh

Could be improved: maybe a bit more content (2 or 3 tracks)

Game-Art / Art-Game

Emergency Bypass by dock

I liked: Great visual and audio presentation, Food and Journal

Could improve on: Mostly technical stuff: it ran pretty sluggish on my not-so-slow machine even when I reduced the graphics, sometimes it let me cross roads, "Reset" did not work

Puts the "fun part" back in destroying trees ;)

Interstate Trucking by Doches

I liked: Idea, audio, extent

Could be improved: build-up, explanation, simulation speed (building bigger routes means watching the truck crouching slowly along). Are you supposed to build longer routes (in order to do that you have to memorize the prices)?. Maybe I am playing it "wrong". I think a simulation like this needs to have strong explanation and some restriction at the beginning (e.g. max. 3 cities on a route) and then let the complexity rise on the player.

Definetely a feat doing all this within 48 hours.

all roads lead from home by dessgeega

Liked: Consistent retro style, fun to play, impressive extent, presentation, controls, "snatch"-mechanism.

Could improve on: ok as it is.

Had fun playing it.

Unknown by dertom

I liked: ambitious approach, strategy-game mechanism, potential

Could be improved: needs lots of polish, graphics, debugging and probably a different technical platform

Brave. A 2-player competitive thingy based on that could be fun.

And it’s a wrap… I guess by Daid

I liked: style, experience

Could be improved: Collision detection at the "stations" didn't work for me

Lost Roads by Comtemno

I liked: you can kill monsters AND build hotels AND meet John Dalton - all in one game. I found even a cheat to get infinite money.

Could be improved: monsters a bit too repetitive

‘0xF0’ by bluescrn

Same here: "The application has failed to start because d3dx9_35.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

Epic. Failure by BloodKnight9923

Could not download. I got the following message:

"This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times."

Hexxxy by Bleck

What do you mean by "Unfortunately, I cheated, so I can’t win anyway."?

Exproad, Improad, Reroad! by demonpants

Liked: Fun, Insane Humor, Theme Interpretation, Sound, Particle Effects, Nothing to install

Could Improve on: Resolution/Graphics (or decide to keep graphics deliberately retro-trashy then maybe make it even more trashy).

Lice!
