LD26 — Minimalism (21)

Drug Hunt by kill0u 2013-05-08T23:02:00

Not as fun as the real thing but still a great game.

My Mini Castle by TijmenTio 2013-05-08T22:53:00

Great game. Really simple yet clever. Excellent game design.

Ming Imah Lism the Wizard ! by Gustera 2013-04-29T21:52:00

Liked this one. So hard to do an action rpg like this in 48 hrs. Good job. I really like the game mechanism of how you recharge your mana. Shoot small enemies seems a little difficult though.

Dream Fishing by Sophie Houlden 2013-04-29T21:48:00

OMG, it's just as hard a real casting - DRAT! Lol.

But amazing game. VERY well done. This is one of those that is hard to believe it was actually done in 48 hrs.

Great job!

Bleed Or Die by Priapus 2013-04-29T21:45:00

Amazing graphics! Wish it was finished. Looks quite promising. You should flesh it out.

Mondrianalism by TrahDivad 2013-04-29T21:43:00

Wow, I really enjoyed this game. Genius if you came up with this game mechanic on your own. Kudos! Great game that might work well as a commercial release in some form.

TOWER DEFENSE REWIND by optimality 2013-04-29T21:40:00

Pretty cool concept. I like it.

Rex Galaxy and the SpaceSkull by Ret44 2013-04-29T21:20:00

Remind me of astrosmash from the Intellivision! Good job replicating the 8bit console era. Definitely minimal back then, lol.

Chicky & Katey by pythong 2013-04-29T21:09:00

Cute game. Reminds me of the classic arcade games of the 80s. Good job.

Less qq, more pew-pew by MauMaGau 2013-04-29T21:06:00

Had difficulty because it seemed like it wouldn't shoot properly.

Beware the Tiles by Corofides 2013-04-29T21:02:00

Wow, memory game. Reminds be of Simon. Pretty clever actually. Enjoyed it for a bit.

Antarctic Skirmish by Meep 2013-04-29T20:19:00

Really cute game. Fits the theme perfectly. Quite polished. Starcraft lite lite lite lite, lol.

Zrist by Andres B. Gonzalez 2013-04-29T20:16:00

Cool graphics and thought it was going to be my cup of tea, but I just kept dying. Couldn't make jumps at all. Not sure if I just suck or what, lol.

Fantasy RPG #58 by Martze 2013-04-29T20:14:00

Simple graphics yet strangely I really enjoyed this game. Liked making the progress and growing in strength. Do players actually do damage in battle? It didn't seem so.

Overall great effort though. Enjoyed this quite a bit.

Aqueous by Nickardson 2013-04-29T20:08:00

Enjoyed this game. Quite challenging! Good job.

Doad by magicdweedoo 2013-04-29T20:04:00

I tried. I got stuck somewhere in the menu. Cool idea though.

Nine Tails by dualtagh 2013-04-29T19:54:00

Very fun take on a popular genre of game. Clever use of cat's nine lives, lol. This is one of the best games I've played this competition. Fantastic job! Simple yet fun and challenging.

Love Connection by Jon Reid 2013-04-29T19:50:00

Great game mechanism. Quite creative idea. Great children's game. Not really a challenge though. Nicely polished. Great work!

Nova Jump : A Space Adventure by savethejets1 2013-04-29T19:45:00

Cool game. Really enjoyed game mechanism. Made it seem different and it was challenging. Great job for javascript game.

The epicly short adventure by JaJ 2013-04-29T19:41:00

Liked this game a lot. Fun platformer. Nice style with graphics. Impressive for javascript game for sure.

Trapped by Hopps 2013-04-29T18:30:00

Really enjoyed this interactive fiction. Set a nice mood. Was surprising how much you were able to do with twine. More than just a choose your own adventure.

LD24 — Evolution (36)

My Time by GamesByZed 2012-09-10T07:21:00

Funny as hell. This is true creativity. Keep this up!

Where am I? by AgentParsec 2012-09-10T07:20:00

Loved this game. Somehow as I got into this I realized it was going to be the game equivalent of one of those videos that you focus on and then in the end a monster jumps out at you. Especially because it got harder to see so I had to focus so much more to do anything. I'm a sucker for this kind of game. Great job!

FOR THE darWIN by TravisChen 2012-09-10T07:18:00

Really strong entry. Amazing graphics. In fact incredible graphics. Still trying to get through it but gameplay seems fun so far. Feels like a classic arcade game. Fantastic job!

Species by mappum 2012-09-10T07:16:00

Effective narration and tension pulled me through this game to the finish even if the platforming and ladder system was a bit annoying. To me mood is one of th most important things and you got that in spades here! Great job.

One Day To Breed by Hazel 2012-09-10T07:13:00

Cute concept and graphics. Found the short time to find a new mate a little irritating. Also, I could never get jumping to work I think. But still really well done.

Cuboid Sandbox by cominu 2012-09-10T07:11:00

Amazing concept and execution. More a sim than a game. Still I found it fascinating and beautiful. Great job!

R/evolution by AdamHarte 2012-09-10T07:09:00

Great game. At first I was annoyed by the jumping, but them after a while I just accepted the physics and started to understand the way the world worked. It turned out to be challenging and fun and I can't recall playing anything quite like it. Really nice job!

Go Back by Aceria 2012-09-06T01:26:00

Great game. Reminds be of playing golf games for some reason. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Simple yet fun and addictive.

Dawn of Dimension by jplur 2012-09-05T20:24:00

Really liked the concept of this. There's something interesting about stepping off into the unknown and having no idea what you are going to see next, if anything.

Octogeddon by flyingbear 2012-09-04T16:27:00

Really enjoyed this game. Played it quite a bit. Great idea. Super fun graphics.

The Adventures of Box Man by Arkazon 2012-09-04T06:37:00

Really impressed with entry, especially considering it was done with C++. Fun game. Getting an in-game editor in there is amazing work. Great job!

Fall Of The Ark by rekcahdam 2012-09-01T07:38:00

This is a great game. Took me back to the time of the early 90s quarter munchers. Obviously, it helps to have a big team. Is this the biggest ever on a ludumdare? Anyway, good job. Very fun, although much too short of course. You should continue this one and put it on steam or something.

Social Evolution by Jorjon 2012-09-01T05:58:00

Good game. I liked the graphics. But I didn't really know what was going on with the powerups. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to catch them or avoid them. I mostly tried to avoid them. Also, not sure what objective was because after a while, there were no more girls for me to touch.

the Evolution from zx81 by zx81 2012-08-29T05:43:00

This game just goes to show you that you don't need great graphics or tons of polish to make a fun game. This game is just fun, no other way to describe it, in a hit my head in the forehead kind of way. So many times I got close to the top, but then my luck would change and I would end up rapidly falling near the bottom. Arrrgh. Still fun though, good job.

Rise of the Morbels by Cosmologicon 2012-08-29T05:33:00

Loved the story and the narration. The voice reminded me of Edward Norton. Did a good job with setting and mood. Great game.

raptor disaster by mes 2012-08-29T05:20:00

Very cute and fun game. I actually really enjoyed the scale of the large playfield. Graphics reminded me in a good way of joust. Just wish there was some sound and music. Great game still.

Soul Jar by farmergnome 2012-08-29T05:01:00

Wow, what a great art style this game has. I love the use of the sun in the background and the way it colors everything. And the sand storm is a wonderful effect. Looks great, and it shows that native apps are still worthwhile, because I don't think this would have been nearly as smooth in flash or html. Great job.

On the Origin of Block by savethejets1 2012-08-28T06:56:00

Clever concept for game, but didn't grab me as being fun. Still, definitely well executed game for time frame. Good job.

Ninjural Selection by axcho 2012-08-28T05:54:00

Any game with ninjas is cool. Reminded me a lot of that game mode by the guy who created flixel. Music a tad hectic. Too many enemies for me to get too far. Can you finish a level, or do you just keep fighting until you die?

Lucid by MillerMan 2012-08-28T05:49:00

Just shows you have effective games can be with such simple graphics. It's all about style. The music really helps set up the oddness of the game. Platforms and jumping were a tad annoying though. Seems a little tough and repetitive. Good game though.

Evo by DaveDobson 2012-08-28T05:25:00

Wow, I bookmarked this baby! Fantastic game: quirky, original concept, fun as hell, deceptively tricky. You have a winner here. I don't know if there are other games out there like it but if not you should do a version for the app stores. I think it might do well.

Gone With The Wind by Alface 2012-08-28T05:16:00

The gameplay is simple, but fun. I like the graphics. I like the atmosphere. I like the multiple scrolling backdrops. But the game makes me sad. Why is my body decaying and falling apart as I move through the level? It makes me very sad.

Blob's Gotta Eat by MrDanH 2012-08-28T04:01:00

Oh, I loved this game! Great job! This is game I could definitely go back and play some more. I wish things were a little bigger so I could see them better though. That's my only complaint. Otherwise fun and polished game with appropriate graphics.

Space Worm by hamster_mk_4 2012-08-28T03:55:00

Really like this game. Good job! Very polished. I got stuck on the first island because I couldn't figure out how to fly off of it. Every time I tried, no matter what I did, I would turn around and fly back for some reason.

Still, good game.

EVO - X by GFM 2012-08-28T03:48:00

Looked cute. Couldn't get my dino to eat any of the enemies. Not sure what I was doing wrong. Kept pressing X.

Gregor the Grogre by Glamdring 2012-08-28T03:21:00

Wow, cute little role playing game. Simple, but kinda fun really. Certainly more fun than "questing" on zombie jombie! I wish there was more of a story to keep me wanting to move forward in the game.

Sun God by Switchbreak 2012-08-28T03:17:00

Fun game. Really innovative. Reminded me a little bit of angry birds, pool and pinball combined. Nice work.

3 Apples High by Dayko 2012-08-28T03:12:00

Nice unity game. These dodge obstacle while running game are always fun. Not original. But I like the "evolution" game play aspect that added a lot more challenge to it. Nice job.

Moche by Ilod 2012-08-28T00:00:00

Seems to be a game about making choices. Some questions are asked and then it looks like a mini game comes on. I've played the platform mini-game and the laser zap mini game. Not sure what to do. I'm not sure I understand the screen splitting/mutating stuff.

Survival of the Fittest by codesavage 2012-08-27T23:54:00

Unfinished but shows promise. It is one of the smoothest html5 games I've played in a while. Feels like a flash game. Sound works well too. The tune is fun. I'll definitely have to check out whatever html5 engine you're using.

Way to Change by yetanother 2012-08-27T23:42:00

Simple game, but enjoyed it. Got about 10 levels in and then got stuck. At first it was surprising and fun because I'd never played anything like it. But after a while, it got repetitive and I just ended up smashing all the keys on the keyboard to figure out the keys.

Sorry, i was late! by infernet89 2012-08-27T23:37:00

Simple game. Simple graphics. Sorta fun. I got stuck on the dance like MJ level. Still wondering what to do on that level. I know I'm missing something.

Socket City by SethR 2012-08-27T23:32:00

Liked this one a lot. Really nice work. Graphics, sound and game play polish. It was an interesting concept. Seems really hard though to survive a wave.

Obsolete Upgrade by RARoadkill 2012-08-27T23:26:00

Fine idea. Couldn't get through the platforming.

Evolve & Conquer by Ponte 2012-08-27T23:23:00

Could not get to work on chrome or safari on macbook pro snowlion

Homes Through Time! by Materie 2012-08-27T23:19:00

Unfinished game, but think there is potential. Would like to see where you take it.

LD21 — Escape (4)

Persephone by thonk 2011-08-23T23:15:00

I love that you used processing and I love mythology games. That said, I think the controls were a little floaty for my liking. I didn't really feel like I had the control of the character that I needed.

Got stuck on mountain side so couldn't finish game.

Mirror's Secret by BlueShaman 2011-08-23T23:08:00

The attack was very inventive. At first I couldn't figure out what the point of use the left mouse button was, but then I realized I seemed to be able to control the point of attack by moving the mouse. It was fun and reminded me a of jedi fight (or maybe sith).

Escapism by Dramble 2011-08-23T22:18:00

Cool idea man. Looks like you didn't finish it. But playing the game within the game was pretty cool.

The Escape by ippa 2011-08-23T22:14:00

I didn't manage to finish, but I did enjoy this game. Especially nice since it was made in JS and I don't like that many JS games.

The music and one color background helped create an effectively creepy ambience.

The jumping puzzles were tough but fun. I really felt like a mountain climber trying to find the next position for my foot.

I felt like if it had been done in flash it might have been a bit smoother and maybe some lighting and smoking effects for the background could have been added which probably wasn't really feasible with JS.

Good show!

LD20 — It's Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This! (1)

Rainbow_Riding_Hood by mr_Hk_ 2011-05-02T23:48:00

ok, that is just crazy good for a 48 hour game. You guys must work as a team professionally right?

LD19 — Discovery (5)

Aquatic by Riley Adams 2010-12-30T18:10:00

Great game. Amazing considering the time available. I would like to see this fleshed out as a full game.

Especially effective was the algorithm you used to generate the floor (really felt like I was descending into the abyss). Also, the graphics effect that made it look like you are in water is great.

Voyage of Discovery by alexlarioza 2010-12-30T17:54:00

numpad wasn't working for me sometimes. I tried many times. Sometimes I could get it to work for a while, but then it froze (numpad stopped working). Sometimes I spawned on an island.

Game looks like fun though. I would have liked it I think. Maybe too ambitious for a 48 hour contest.

It's A Frickin' CAVE by Hempuli 2010-12-30T17:45:00

cute game. I really like the character graphics and animations. You are an expert with working effectively with some amounts of pixels.

Also impressed that you generated the game levels. That keeps it fresh.

Combat is fun and I love drawing the enemies into the spikes.

Even though it is a familiar genre, you made clever innovations to keep it fresh.

PRIOR by krangGAMES 2010-12-21T17:22:00

clever game. I like it, but there were some bugs. At one point I was controlling two squares.

Ancient Mystery III: The lost symbols by Jesper Oskarsson 2010-12-20T21:27:00

I didn't get it. I thought I was just picking random ones to create the alien. Did I miss something?

LD18 — Enemies as Weapons (26)

MARBULL by rik 2010-08-23T17:08:00

the graphics and animations are amazing. Oh man, I love when that bull changes direction and he raises up a dust cloud.

Metagun by Notch 2010-08-23T16:41:00

I love this game.

Fistful of Beef by Tommy Brunn 2010-08-23T16:02:00

I love this game. Great job. Fun to play. Great music too.

PuzzaBOMB by McFunkypants 2010-08-23T13:46:00

wow, shockwave? Haven't seen that in a while. Thought that adobe killed that off.

What was it like to program in? You said you used javascript?

I was getting about 250 frames per second in chrome, pretty damn fast for a web app.

LD17 — Islands (8)

I HATE ISLANDS by nitram_cero

Very nice game. I love the creativity and use of story in your games.

Baby Leviathan: Eat All Fishies by ExciteMike

I loved the control scheme. Very inventive.

Radio Silence by Terry

Managed to finish this. It is a fun game and I love the atmosphere. Reminded me of some weird old twilight zone or outer limits episode.

Paradise Fort by Hempuli

I really wanted to like this game, but I can't get past the user interface. I either need a tutorial or a better on-screen menu of commands or something. I'm sure it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

Galapagos by jovoc

Hope you finish it. I enjoyed what was there!

Eden Island by brandoncash

Really clever and interesting game. Too bad it is unfinished. You should definitely finish the game!

Tropical Islands of Doom by Codexus

Amazing use of tools. I know you've talked about it some, but could you write a more in-depth article talking about your use of tools in the game.

In particular, I'd like to know how you did the islands and the textures for the islands.

How you did the turtle textures, barrels textures and the flags and the waving of the flag, and the grass and the wood textures.

How you did the bird and turtle models, and other models.

How you did the shadows, amazing water and reflections, etc.

Please more details. I like to work smarter, not harder too.

Thanks!~

Island Rescue by fydo

cute and clever!

LD16 — Exploration (2)

Rex's Junk Hunt by Catmoo

Cute game! I bet small kids would enjoy this quite a bit.

the light at the end of the tunnel by ippa

I really enjoyed this game! Great job! It remind me of rock climbing. So simple, yet fun!

But I did get stuck in the wall eventually several screens in. I'll try again later. One of my favorites so far.

Haha, I just finished the game. Great ending!! Hilarious.
