LD29 — Beneath the Surface

emilion by Helopol 2014-04-29T15:39:00

You deserve top marks. This is pure awesomeness.

Geesulburp by Beanalby 2014-05-02T02:16:00

Idea is great, so as implementation.

Lim by Rabbits... 2014-05-02T10:29:00

Looks like your link is down.

Go! Go! Purgatory! by Captain_Genial 2014-04-30T12:32:00

Hey! Hey, listen! This art is awesome, and music is too!

For the windows build you're missing few .dll files, that the game will not start without:
- libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
- libwinpthread-1.dll
- libstdc++-6.dll [probably]

You can find them under your compiler directory among other binary files. Please include those files so we all can play ;)
If you'll run into troubles finding them, feel free to contact me, I'll help you.

It's working for me now.

Oh my, you must have put quite an effort. I have never managed to finish anything written in C++ & OpenGL myself, especially under time limit.

I like the mood and overall atmosphere.

Lonely Boy by ApoorvaJ 2014-05-03T16:48:00

Beautiful!

Beneath the Surface by FistBumpGames 2014-04-29T23:46:00

This is Dark Souls of Ludum Dare. Very atmospheric and attractive. And very evil. I like it.

Beneath the clouds by simplesmiler 2014-04-28T18:38:00

@goerp
The story itself is complete, but lacking details. I may get it polished one day ;)

@Snoother
My first language isn't english, so text may be a mess and typos are to be expected.
The most interactive piece will happen if you won't submerge into the clouds immediately.
If only I had started working on gameplay earlier, there might have been fighting the wind, and shouting at crows to get them away from the balloon. Oh well ;)

Inner War by KickBack 2014-05-01T18:19:00

Gorgeous visuals. Great use of theme. Top marks.

Whack-a-Meme by Mallot1 2014-04-30T00:28:00

It's great that you have so much energy and aspiration, but you need to learn how to do thing properly from technical point of view. It may be hard and boring, but your games will only became better.

Metro Delivery by michelfontes 2014-05-02T10:37:00

May I ask you provide full dropbox link? db.tt is blocked by my ISP because of silliness of government in my country.

Abstraction by cr2crstudios 2014-04-28T15:23:00

Great use of the theme!

LD30 — Connected Worlds

The Lion's Song by LeafThief 2014-08-26T09:13:00

You did a good job, sir. I love every bit of it.

Cosmic Conqueror by MunkeeBacon 2014-08-28T09:25:00

Great entry!

Chaos Heart by YMM 2014-08-26T09:29:00

You guys know what you are doing :)

Whiteout by primaerfunktion 2014-08-27T18:44:00

You already know about the camera. Game pace is very slow, it definitely adds to the atmosphere but takes from the engagement.
I love the mysterious vibe, and graphics, and sound. I feel like it may be a good tech demo for something astonishing.

devoid by Jake Coxon 2014-08-25T11:40:00

Looks solid.

Sleepy Time by SkyWolf 2014-08-28T09:03:00

I like it very much.

MultiWorlds by Joemag 2014-09-01T18:09:00

Best take on this idea I've seen so far.

Circling Circles by Linus Lindberg 2014-08-25T10:46:00

Got 96 so far. It's hard to distinct the real one and the mirror one after a certain time. It may have been worth to visually differentiate them.
Other than that, you made a solid entry, I like it.

Worlds of Men by kdunee 2014-08-27T19:39:00

Interesting take on the theme, and very polished and shiny!

Blend and Bobble by rezoner 2014-08-26T01:58:00

Very cool entry. This could easily become a good mobile game.

Light Year Wars by nicotuason 2014-08-25T11:15:00

Gorgeous. Sound, visuals, atmosphere -- everything fits together.

Panel Galaxy by Colorvade 2014-08-28T13:42:00

Very clever concept and awesome execution. Please keep on working on this!

Terminal by Menesetsu 2014-09-02T16:26:00

Immersive and compelling, this game has minor issues. You've got a lot of my stars.

Connector by TeamEagle 2014-08-27T18:57:00

100 meg, wow...
Anyways, everything about this entry feels very good. It's not very challenging, but still very fun.
You've got my fives. I can easily see this entry winning.

RED Thread by NickZangus 2014-09-12T14:09:00

Awesome!

Connected Caves by Birke 2014-08-26T12:25:00

Controls are slightly unintuitive, but visuals are very good.

Solar War by Reyn 2014-08-27T20:55:00

Slightly clunky controls, but networking works well!

Blueprint dude by hate-marina 2014-08-25T18:03:00

Very well done. Surprisingly attractive, considering that I'm generally not into platformers.

The Legend of Light by Yword 2014-08-28T13:54:00

Shiny and awesome!

Sinister by Joe Williamson 2014-08-26T01:16:00

Holy smokes. I can't speak right now. You've got my fives.

Any Moment by Jakub Koziol 2014-08-27T19:00:00

<3

There's nothing else to say.

Flipside by gingerBill 2014-08-25T12:55:00

@gingerBill I have compiled it with QtCreator, but the game crashes inside of StateStack::createState when creating game state.

Flipside by gingerBill 2014-08-25T13:02:00

@gignerBill reach me at <denis.karabaza at gmail.com>, we will try something out.

Cerebros by VonDare 2014-08-27T20:41:00

The art style is great, and the idea is awesome!

Tether by Chris Mondok 2014-08-28T09:32:00

Oh the art style, oh the music. It feels very professional. Very solid entry.

Meowrror by thiaguera 2014-08-30T08:18:00

Controls are a bit dodgy, it would be nice to have 8-way movement and more responsive block pushing. Other than that it's a nice game!

ERB by Romko Pidstryhach 2014-08-27T18:11:00

Smooth controls and lovely swarm behavior. Please keep on making this game!

Legacy of Lamas by Cell 2014-08-26T13:55:00

Shiny!

The Verse by simplesmiler 2014-08-27T21:26:00

@nintendoeats, you are absolutely correct. Shame on me, I din't think this through.
I don't think I'm allowed to modify entry now, but here's a link to a version with adjusted colors:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36132745/14-08/simplesmiler-ld30-compo-colors.zip.
Other than colors there's no changes. Hope this will be better :)

I'm working on post-compo version, and I will definitely add an option for adjusting colors.

The Verse by simplesmiler 2014-08-27T21:28:00

Link accidentally got extra dot in the end.

Where Are Your Friends Tonight by Mike Mezhenin 2014-08-27T20:28:00

Bravo. You left me speechless.

Astral Crossroads by zdonkeyx 2014-08-30T08:33:00

Lovely!

Enduring Atlas by dickpoelen 2014-08-28T10:32:00

Very interesting take on the theme. Concept is great and executed very well. One of the best entries I've seen.

Superdimensional by PixelMind 2014-08-28T12:14:00

Wow, you did a very good job! It's very interesting!

Close Your Eyes by nonetheless 2014-08-25T21:29:00

I'm happy this game exists!

Astroz by sputnik 2014-08-30T08:51:00

Interesting and pretty, but didn't run well in terms of performance for me.

Starpiercer by Schrodinger Games 2014-08-27T19:23:00

Holy Molly, this looks so good! Very solid entry.

Troll Away by spolsh 2014-08-28T10:45:00

Surprisingly enough, this is the first AR entry I've encountered. But now that I think of it, AR is entirely about connected worlds!

Polar Dash by Cheesefork 2014-08-27T19:15:00

My chrome wasn't able to run this entry at reasonable performance, but it looks shiny!

Schrodinghost by Carduus 2014-09-02T09:27:00

That is so freaking cool!

Parallel Horizons by kebabskal 2014-08-28T14:28:00

Platforms are a bit slippery, but that doesn't really matter.
Awesome entry, makes me jealous ;)
