LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

DoomZone by CoolChesire 2014-12-10T14:30:00

This gun makes a statement every time you fire it, haha! Nice game. I'm a sucker for Twinstick-like games. By coincidence, my main project outside of ludum dare is somewhat like this! But that is a "hush-hush-secret-hush" thing still. Good job man!

180° Past Pluto by Brassawiking 2014-12-11T14:50:00

Great idea and great game! The only minus is the skill ceiling from the start is too high. After several tries I got more hang of it but it's still really hard. You need to practice the moves in your mind, kinda hard. But great style, sounds and mechanic : )!!

Puddle maker by mrhill 2014-12-09T21:52:00

I liked this game quite a bit! I'm not voting on the theme, because even though I didn't feel it fit the theme, I know some others would disagree, so I guess the better option is to not choose a side on that matter. You had some cool music (guitar was your weapon of choice, I see!). Nice gameplay, the audio fit the style well. Above average. Some more polish and smoothness to this and you got yourself a typical addicting game!

Btw. that death screen. When you slowly turn into a skeleton. Quite morbid, haha.

1 Screen Hero by zerocreativity1 2014-12-11T14:42:00

This was polished and really well made. I can't find anything negative! full score!

Recall by snipercommand 2014-12-09T15:24:00

A fun little game, its addictive. Would be a great game to play at the buss stop if you add to smartphones!

Frankenstein Fight! by Calahagus 2014-12-12T16:39:00

Not bad it was fun! a real multitasker game! Good art.

Down with Bio by sockfolder 2014-12-09T06:00:00

I liked this really much! I can punch projectiles... Do I need to say more? Nice innovative design choice with boosting through the poles that hold up the platforms. You keep to the theme nicely, and this arcadey game has flavor! Some polish to this game and it'd be a good hit! Good job, overall!

Snowman calamity by lightsoda 2014-12-12T16:27:00

Haha, that last level was bullshit : P "that esculated quickly" hehe. Good game! But for some critique. Kinda repetitive. That's mostly because there was no powerups, no new shuffles, anything. So the progress rate felt uneven and a little boring. I guess you already know this though. But all in all all games I play till the
end is great; )

A Very Short Age of Very Small Empires by ZYXer 2014-12-11T15:03:00

Great game!! This one was fun to play and really well made. You should make this into something bigger !! : ) Full score from me

-- by vegard1992 2014-12-10T14:05:00

I didn't get the game to work. Stuck on thinking mouse :/ Sorry

The Icing on the Cake by Binary Gambit 2014-12-09T15:15:00

Really liked your art style, its very pleasing to look at. Good job!

Block-It by Crazi456 2014-12-09T03:38:00

This was absolutely brilliant. The most outstanding thing here is the innovation. Loved the concept. We're sorry to say this, but we really wanted to see what would happen if we just let the blocks build up. We wanted to break your game... We sat here for 15 minutes. And in the end, it was worth every. Single. Second. The collisions went crazy. 10/10. Gl with the ratings

2 Towers by peterentwistle 2014-12-09T04:54:00

Theme is nailed. I like that the game has an end-game function, so it makes it whole. Good AI for such a small game. Nice entry!

2 Towers by peterentwistle 2014-12-11T14:55:00

Liked the idea, but I felt like it was just the one who spammed the most who won. Would be good if you added some way of actually make it worthwhile to move around and try to outsmart the opponent!

Frostbite by ShellfishGames 2014-12-10T22:05:00

This was one of the best ones I've reviewed as of yet! You actually made me laugh sometimes. I just kept thinking about what an extremely inappropriate appartment setup. "Keep your discs in the same place man, what is wrong with me?". The 2d would've needed some more attention to detail, but the mechanics were impressive. AT LEAST considering this is a 48 hour project. The 3d part was almost flawless. Just those headache inducing textures as you mentioned. You deserve a great ranking!

Perfect Squad by Deity 2014-12-09T04:26:00

Good!

aspire by zillix 2014-12-09T21:59:00

Solid work! Was playing this for around 10 minutes or more. So you can say you kept me interested for that amount of time. Which is impressive considering it being a ludum dare project! Your controls were nice, and I really like when the attention to the feels of the controller are given a priority. It's a lot more fun playing around with mindless action(violence) in that way, haha. Good job!

Strikeout by Just Tom 2014-12-13T00:50:00

This was so awesome! This was just neatly designed all the way. The controllers were great, and the sound design really hit the spot. Only need some good music to put on top! Awesome game!

Blob Thing's Epic Escape From the Lab by samgj 2014-12-12T16:33:00

It was *almost* very good. The ladders were a little buggy and the green toxic could be slowed down a little, or a better level design. Also there should be a reset button. Annoying to refresh the whole page. And fix the text, it just shows half of it. Fix those and it would be quiet fun! : )

Pixplorer by Nega Drive 2014-12-09T03:24:00

I can't load the game. Stuck on the Logo screen.

Mobius Dungeon by nesis 2014-12-13T15:04:00

Awesome job, mobius. Was chatting with you on the stream :)

Color Collider by williamehk 2014-12-13T00:38:00

I like this concept! You get a plus for innovation. but all over it seemed a bit lacking in character. But it did keep my brain teased for some minutes :)

Action Theatre by Mr.Cassels 2014-12-12T16:38:00

Not bad, but could maybe need a little more objectives, you don't lose, you don't get hit etc. I like the theme idea on a *screen play* ! Good work : )

The Floor is Lava by Slashee the Cow 2014-12-13T00:54:00

The perspective was a bit unforgiving, but I really liked the idea of this game. Decent controls as well. Good job!

Wizard Battle by eerongal 2014-12-09T05:43:00

I like the concept. It needs some work. But you should definitely think about doing something like this on a bigger scale of a project! :)

Voxey Adventure by Pepelumen 2014-12-09T03:13:00

Seemed like a really nice idea. Well, for focusing only on the engine, it definitely did the job!

Slime Spire Showdown by rojo 2014-12-09T06:14:00

Only got to floor 4. but, I tried to play through 3 times! I really liked this. You nailed a lot of the aspects considering the short time frame. AI is good, shooting feels nice. colliders are cool. Overall a solid 4!

Block Dungeon by Lancelot Gao 2014-12-11T23:59:00

Well, you called it. Explosions. This was very awesome though. Surprisingly fluent gameplay for something that was only worked on for a weekend. It looks refined in some ways! Good job!

Dugeon Loop by sorle 2014-12-09T06:06:00

Hmm. oddly interesting. The art was actually quite nice. Although it could be a bit more uniform all over. The knight looked good, and I'm always a sucker for a medieval style. Working with stats like you did here adds a lot more playing around with this rather simple game. Nice work!

Orlyrinthum by muramasa 2014-12-09T03:20:00

Although, the intro of the game left a bad impression. Adding the username and token with a very basic windows UI (atleast here on my pc) looked bad, compared to the rest of the game. That being said, it was a pretty solid arcadey game, I enjoyed it! Great artwork, atleast considering you were working solo (?).

1Screen Theft Auto by AmmoreChicks 2014-12-11T14:58:00

Haha fun concept, liked it. But I don't quite now if I thought the police space ship fitted( i know it suppose to be a game) but wuld maybe be more fun if there was police cars that chased you after you ran over people? But a great game! good score from me!

BACKACHA by WhoaConstrictor 2014-12-13T00:35:00

Pretty nice game! It looks very well done for its simple gameplay! My mind got tired, though, haha! Good job!

Champions League by holgk 2014-12-09T05:45:00

Nice amount of detail for a game jam, though it lacked some personality. And am I the only one getting those giant circles spawning on our side? Nice entry, cheers!

One Screen Game with Enchant by belstras 2014-12-11T14:30:00

A little tips, use this site http://itch.io/ : ) it's good for hosting!

Another one is gamejolt.

Furious Rush by eusekerci 2014-12-13T00:43:00

This is old-school! I like it. But, there's definitely more that could be done here to make it a bit juicy! Good job, anyway.

One SCREAM! for the game by t4u 2014-12-10T21:54:00

Sound hazard detected when using scream when there are many opponents on the screen. Quirky idea, but it's been used before, and it needs more polish! Good job, nevertheless.

Dolly by Jessica Hayley 2014-12-09T03:47:00

Can't say it personally hit home on the theme. But, given the controversy on the theme, I'm guessing everyone's pretty split on the idea of the theme, and you should just interpret it any way you like, so that's not the biggest issue!

I liked that it changed from the "Limbo-esque" style to something colorized, and with quite some neat art-design. One flaw is the extremely unforgiving checkpoint, haha!

Man on the Field by Double Zero One Zero 2014-12-13T15:31:00

"Papers, please" meets cooking mama-esque gameplay. Please work on this game postLD, and keep me updated, haha!

Existential by LukeZaz 2014-12-09T07:01:00

This is a nice base for a modern roguelike type of game. I can see that the work on programming is heavier than the art. There's nothing wrong with that! I liked it!

Rob by SelfishGenome 2014-12-09T14:23:00

Great art, liked it overall!

No Rest When it's Over by ItyBity8Bit 2014-12-09T05:57:00

Very confusing. You're kinda just thrown into it without any hand-holding. Which is good for simple games. This seems like it has something more going for it, and it should be addressed. I got the idea that there is more than meets the eye with this! :)

1 Screen by 6DownStudios 2014-12-11T14:46:00

Haha, it was fun, but maybe from the wrong reasons? I just jumped around throwing things. THe mood was great. Maybe add more too it? God work though : )

Lich Lordz by imaginarymonsters 2014-12-09T14:27:00

Good game, really liked the look and feel of it!:)

Frankfurt Ludum Dare Venue - Keeper by gladers 2014-12-12T13:26:00

Nice controls. You're not explicitly mentioning the music anywhere, if you made it or not. If you didn't make this yourself, pleace uncheck "Audio" rating and add some credit information to where you ripped it off. This is all considering that you did borrow it from somewhere. Elsewise, that is some hefty orchestral sound for a Ludum Dare :P

Minimal Duel by Miziziziz 2014-12-11T03:32:00

Couldn't really get into the game that much, but the artstyle was pretty!

SnowFall by FredericRP 2014-12-12T13:19:00

Nice! This is quite towerfall-ish, as you said. And I am a big fan of that game. I like that you were able to actually put in a charaxter select thing with multiple players, did that take a lot of time creating?

Two things that I would consider first fixes if you would work on it in post:

The force movement based on current speed for the double jump. (you cna jump really high if you double jump instantly after first jump).

And rather use a trigger button for attacking, so you could utilize the free fingers already on the controller! :)

Wizards Are Bad by Lovelock 2014-12-13T00:57:00

Now I'm sad. The dwarves died and the piano kept sobbing with me... Good job with this :)

Entire Game Off One Screen by mr_mg 2014-12-09T04:30:00

Haha, pretty fun! Reminded me of the mario party minigame with them bouncing each other rolling on balls. Cool game : )

Fill the bar by SMASH BASH 2014-12-13T00:31:00

Not really my type of game. Nice attempt at the humour, though!

Hell: Redemption by samfreeman05 2014-12-09T23:43:00

It was too hard to control, in my opinion. The blocks were too small for that kind of controller scheme. atleast when the groundChecks aren't in perfect working conditions. The acceleration on the movement also made it almost impossible to ascend the level, I'm sorry to say. Good job nonetheless. Not easy creating a game in such a small timespan! :)

Clear Screen by Valtaroth 2014-12-13T01:02:00

5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5. <-- My rating. This was so fun. It was innovative, fun, great theme, good mood. Awesome job. This has to be my most favorite as of yet!

Snow Fight by MysteryMeat 2014-12-09T06:02:00

Link is not working. Maybe bug-fixing?

Poltergeist by DoppleDanger 2014-12-09T05:48:00

I loved the door animation and sound the most. It just made such a statement that "I AM A HAUNTED DOOR BOOOO!". Nice entry!

i_tried by bobola66 2014-12-10T14:17:00

I'm a sucker for multi-tasking, did you know that? Haha! Concept is great. You need to work a bit more on fluency. But, my god, only a month of coding this is very impressive.

Keep doing what you're doing. (see you next ludum dare?) :)

techRUN by Magosis0 2014-12-09T05:52:00

This could've been really nice. Too bad that the controls were just a bit too sluggish. and the acceleration in the air is a bit too much. I like the idea of the game though, it just needed some polish! Good job!

Houston, We've Got a Problem by MrBadIvan 2014-12-13T15:19:00

Awesome stuff. I was chatting with you on the stream. Please work more on this project. Make it mode advanced. You'll have guys theorycrafting all day

Super George by celanova 2014-12-11T02:49:00

Quite decent. Nothing particular standing out, though. Controls are smooth and the game plays nicely. Decent AI work as well. But, voice acting wasn't the strongest side, haha!

+1 Act Play by warrenEBB 2014-12-11T14:35:00

I liked the controls, but the game confused me. The theme was spot on with the whole "screen play reference". I get the artistic specter though : ) A little more polished it could be great! Good work.

<HexaMem> by Phask 2014-12-11T14:52:00

I like it! cool innovation, but a little hard! Great game : )

Road to Heaven by frenzyasii 2014-12-09T14:25:00

Pretty fun, with optimalization it could be great!

Main Menu Fighter by Legiion 2014-12-13T00:47:00

Concept might be quirky, to battle from menu systems. I would like to see that explored a bit more in another game. Like a play on the stickmen playing around on your desktop :P Good job

-CHAMBER- by ben_pxlplz 2014-12-11T14:37:00

Really cool idea and a lot of fun! A litle more polished and better, sharpher controls you really got a fun game here : )

The Hyperbeam by pk 2014-12-12T16:45:00

A real brain teaser. I liked it. Both the sounds and the gfx felt like a good match. Great game!

Frank's New Job by SinistraGames 2014-12-09T04:03:00

Pkenney: We had so many ideas, with events and multiple choices but time got the better of us : ) Thanks for your reply!

Frank's New Job by SinistraGames 2014-12-09T06:09:00

Mixer: Trust me, we had so many event planned. So that you could have failure and win-situations. There just wasn't enough time. Thanks for your critique!

Frank's New Job by SinistraGames 2014-12-09T21:21:00

We really appreciate all your comments. And we promise to get around to checking out your game if you comment as well! If we receive, we give back... That sounds very manly, I'll stick with that.

Frank's New Job by SinistraGames 2014-12-10T15:00:00

Rocketship: Yes, unfortunately we didn't have time to put in some typical adventure gamey aspects. Like picking up stuff, interacting with objects in the room, etc. We are still considering working on this game in post. :) Thank you for review!

Frank's New Job by SinistraGames 2014-12-10T15:08:00

TZeroth: This never happened *jedi-mind-trick*

Frank's New Job by SinistraGames 2014-12-13T11:59:00

Cake&Code: Haha, Sackception. A sack within a sack ; )

Ludum Bark Beams by CullenCoyote 2014-12-09T05:03:00

I gave this game a very high score. I know that there are games out there that looks like it has much more effort put into them. But, the thing is, this style is so well done! So I can't score this game low on any aspect. I adore the sound. The style of the game is simplistic and retro. Worked great with the theme. I would only like some music, and this would've been quite a nice game for an old computer, haha!

Spirit of Nakagawa by sorceress 2014-12-10T14:39:00

I don't really need to say more than: "OH GOD YES". It's like playing IK+, but with physics. Didn't you hear me the first time? IK+ WITH PHYSICS. Awesome work :)

Fastest RPG Ever by stigmawall 2014-12-09T04:57:00

You did the minimalist style pretty well. I admire that there's some PCG involved (or RNG?). Quirky title that made me have to play it. Neatly designed!

'Hoff Time Shuffle by MurrayL 2014-12-10T14:46:00

Nice! Another adventure game, I dig it! I see you've used AGS for this. Did you like using AGS? Check out my game! I also made an adventure game, but in Unity. Tell me what you think.

I think your artstyle is pretty neat. The critique I have is that you could probably make the characters in the game a tad small. They were quite big, but that's just my opinion. Nice game anyway, good luck with your post-ld "release"!

V for Vectory: Maximum Overquill Edition by quill18 2014-12-13T02:24:00

Good job, Quill! Awesome work!
