LD24 — Evolution

Shit! It's evolving by fruitfly 2012-08-27T17:54:00

Same problem here :-(.

Caveman Evolution Story by davidllanos22 2012-08-27T13:42:00

I loved how the skills vary over the different ages! Nice graphics too although I'd have liked to have animations :-D.

Dinosaurs must Die! by tompudding 2012-08-27T14:00:00

Nice humor touches, I love how you can grab dinosaurs, throw them up in the air and shoot them to death. It's brilliant!

Infected Cell by DDDBOMBER 2012-08-27T14:16:00

Got a could not find the class main.Display error :-(.

Journey of life by 1176Studios 2012-08-27T17:39:00

Liked: pokemon reference, audio, humor style, different mechanics.

Disliked: balancing, it was too easy.

Overall: awesome :-D.

Guardian of the Evolution by aare 2012-08-27T13:53:00

Haha the text when you lose its hilarious. It also fits nicely with the theme.

Alien Rockpool by DustyStylus 2012-08-27T17:56:00

Good graphics and fun mechanic, liked the flocking a lot!

Panspermia by camdensegal 2012-08-27T14:06:00

Simple but nice shooting mechanic :-D. Liked the concept of seeding planets.

Evolving Threat by JokerDen 2012-08-27T14:22:00

Awesome graphics, the enemies death animation it's just brilliant,

Master Of Evolution by Daniel Heidemann 2012-08-27T14:05:00

Got a game over screen but didn't know why :-S (nothing hit me) Besides that it's cool.

PEB 2012 by madpew 2012-08-27T18:54:00

A bit off topic but fun! The graphics and the sound are nice :-D.

Evolution - Caveman by siondream 2012-08-27T13:49:00

Ohhh sorry, it's fixed now (I misplaced the spawn point)

Evolution - Caveman by siondream 2012-08-27T14:15:00

Thanks for the feedback :-D.

I tried to balance the difficulty but, since it's too short I decided to make it a bit hard. Jump on enemies or use your ammo wisely :-D.

Evolution - Caveman by siondream 2012-08-27T14:24:00

What PC do you have, it should work on very low specs!

Evolution - Caveman by siondream 2012-08-27T18:52:00

Thanks a lot guys for the feedback :-D. I'll try to provide the HTML5 version for those who don't have Java JRE7.

The Adventures of Box Man by Arkazon 2012-08-27T13:39:00

Brilliant game mate, even the programmer art is a charm. The evolving mechanic is very original and the controls feel very good (nothing like meat boy ;-))

Evo Fight by Skoggy 2012-08-27T13:38:00

Loved the SFX (recorded by yourself I believe :-D) and the shadow effect. I think the energy ball is completely umbalanced though, you can just leave the attack button pressed and you'll win every time.

Dawn by SteelRaven7 2012-08-27T14:13:00

The 2D cardboard style on a 3D world looks great. I figured out the controls but didn't know what to do, sorry :-(

Lucid by Redream 2012-08-27T13:33:00

Nice one! I love the art style and the simplicity of it. Although... are you left handed? Controlling the jumps towards the end with WASD proved itself to be quite complicated. Besides that, great :-D.

+1 for libgdx (arrived from Mario's retweet)

Geometry by hungyg 2012-08-27T18:57:00

Awesome effects and addictive gameplay :-D.

500 years by imef 2012-08-27T14:10:00

Hahaha the game of being a trolling god (sending disasters :-). Nice one!

LD26 — Minimalism

Pillow Pets by ChevyRay 2013-04-30T06:24:00

SO simple and polished, ACE!

Stargazers by Cake&Code 2013-05-01T17:13:00

VERY polished game, good use of the theme. It can be a great one for kids, well done!

Pilot & Command by HeyChinaski 2013-04-29T21:45:00

I loved this one!!
- Brilliant use of theme
- The background music is so addictive
- The cheeky minimalisers come at you from behind!! Bastards!!
- Good dialogue and good general feel

Simply Escape by wccrawford 2013-05-06T11:21:00

Nice concept but the camera movement was way too fast.

TNAFT by Mysterarts 2013-04-29T21:17:00

Very interesting concept and good as a social experiment! Nice touch the social network feature, it fits within the game :-D.

Ragdoll Fly by FaBrito 2013-04-29T22:11:00

Funny one! I like the game mechanic but when you die, it takes too long to start again.

Ninja Instinct by Taldius 2013-05-01T17:15:00

Nince ninja mechanic, using the shurikens to know more about the environment is great :-D.

Free* by Kortuga 2013-04-29T21:29:00

Not much of a game but I liked the art and the message, very depressing too. Some changing and blending background music would have been great.

The Ethereal Stage by Brassawiking 2013-04-29T22:14:00

The art and mood are great but it doesn't really fit the theme very well.

Save the princess of the minimalist world! by Toastation 2013-04-29T21:01:00

I loved the simplicity of the mechanics and even the graphics, they're nothing extraordinary as you surely know, but they're very cohesive. A few things on the gameplay:

- Bullets are cheeky, can't see them coming! Maybe that's fair enough, they're smart traps.
- The red blocks are cheeky too! You necessarily have to die to uncover them.

Besides that, it's great! Good job!

Zombie Blocks Attack by hgouveia 2013-05-02T17:56:00

Solid game, nice death effects and good use of minimalism. I'd have liked to move sideways too though, good for storming in around corners :-).

MONO by timtipgames 2013-04-30T17:42:00

Absolutely brilliant, loved it. Amazingly polished and very well designed. It's my favourite so far.

(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-04-30T06:40:00

Simple, clean and visually interesting, loved it. Would have liked a key mapping for the Retry option so I don't have to switch between keyboard and mouse every time.

Blox - Return of the Pixel by thequay 2013-04-29T21:22:00

The text appears cropped a bit :-S. Besides that I like the style very much and the mechanic it's simple but feels good. Congrats. Is it only HTML5 + Javascript + canvas?

Dark Wayne by lasergans 2013-04-29T21:37:00

Great mechanic! At the beginning it's a bit WTF but then it becomes really interesting, some music and timers could be a nice addition.

Balls! by Codexus 2013-05-08T06:30:00

Amazing environment for just 72h, incredible.

Mini Circle Wars by kreddor 2013-04-29T18:06:00

Nice and simple, good use of the theme! It feels a bit too easy though and it could be a bit faster paced.

OnlyOne by mrexcessive 2013-04-29T21:09:00

Great concept, I loved the puzzle-maze style and the restrictions on movement.

Tower of Pixel by AlanZucconi 2013-04-30T17:11:00

Cool idea, neat graphics and interesting mechanic. It performed a bit poorly on my machine though (Dell XPS 16)

Time of Wheels by Doccrazy 2013-04-29T21:50:00

So hard! And bloody!

hru by gilmore606 2013-04-30T06:35:00

Very relaxing and nice combination between the jumping platforms and the sound.

Stijl by patrickward 2013-05-01T21:04:00

Love the simplicity of the art and the color based puzzle mechanics. It seems like the goal is to improve the time because progressing is quite easy. The only thing is that there's too much text to read (lazy bastard I know) but you could have explained it with background tips or something.

Minimal Game by m4cgregor 2013-05-01T20:59:00

The climbing is frustrating as you hit the ceiling way too often but the game is cool. Good job!

ITTEN by Avrec 2013-04-29T20:52:00

Great style and animations, during the idle to move transition you could have a smaller speed though. Really hard to get the jumping right! :-D It might be that I suck at games big time. Loved it mate.

Abduction - finally... by MartianWatts 2013-04-30T06:29:00

I loved the style, quite fun. I felt powerful abducting those poor beings haha. The sound was driving me insane though :-D. I also noticed some tearing in the background textures.

A-Void by kingsman142 2013-04-29T21:39:00

Simple but solid, it could progress a bit faster maybe.

Lightbyrinth by siondream 2013-04-29T07:44:00

@badlogic: thanks for playing mate. Yes, I think I'll send a patch to box2dlights because I had to make a couple of silly changes to the sources to get it working. It doesn't affect anything and it'd be nice to make it GWT friendly.

The non mouse controls is intentional so you can't walk and look backwards, it would have been too easy that way. To be fair, the camera could have been tweaked a little too.

Thanks for your input!

Lightbyrinth by siondream 2013-04-29T18:00:00

@8BitPimp: yeah, I thought I'd provide a WebGL version which to encourage people to play. No plugins, only IE is excluded and, honestly, who cares? I'm using box2dlights [1] for the lightning.

@Arkazon: cheers mate. For the music I used this procedural melody generator [2]. Yeah, definitely could have lived without the shooting...

Lightbyrinth by siondream 2013-04-29T19:02:00

@imagnity: it runs at 60fps on my machine using Chrome. What kind of hardware do you have?

Lightbyrinth by siondream 2013-04-29T21:59:00

Thank you all guys for the feedback :-D.

@Daisuke909: I thought about the mouse but the point is that you can only look where you're going so you need to worry about who's behind you.

Lightbyrinth by siondream 2013-04-29T22:15:00

@GaTechGrad Dodgy physics setup maybe? Damn level 5 was the last one :-D. I was too tired when I did all the level design :-(.

Lightbyrinth by siondream 2013-04-29T22:20:00

@Rutger Megahertz libGDX and box2dlights yes :-D

Vectron's Revenge by Rutger Megahertz 2013-04-29T22:01:00

I liked the style but the blinking grid is a tad annoying.

...---... (sos) by badlogic 2013-04-29T20:04:00

"I'd gdb you so hard" brilliant.

A Game of Numbers by JoeDev_net 2013-05-06T11:17:00

Brilliant idea and very well designed! Awesome game for kids too.

Mini Maze by Mago 2013-05-02T17:59:00

It's too hard to squeeze around corners, the game itself it's too hard, you could have some sort of memory of the map around you maybe...

Blink, a minimalist perception by dray 2013-04-29T21:55:00

The light+death blocks are a great combination, the jump falling accel is a bit dodgy though (floaty).

llab by tonic 2013-05-08T06:26:00

Minimalistic and it delivers, good job!

Gravity Stunts by Per 2013-05-02T06:36:00

Great game! I like the simplicity of the environment. It'd help if you knew where the front and the rear of the car are :-D.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

A boy and his Hellworm by orangepascal 2014-04-28T08:33:00

Buah, that's an amazing game mate. Good job. It's polished, fun and looks brilliant. You manage to put together great pixel art so quickly!

Radices by mariscal 2014-04-28T08:55:00

Fantastic job mate, love the concept and how it plays!

Beneath the surface by siondream 2014-04-28T06:33:00

Thanks for reporting, can you try it again? It was a shader issue. It might be to do with the graphics card... It works fine on mine but I think I fixed it.
