LD18 — Enemies as Weapons

Loputon by pekuja 2010-09-04T12:10:00

this game is awesome! ... ok, maybe not but it's basically a combination of two of my old games and playing this game made me recall something: chaining explosions never gets boring, huge thanks for reminding me :) However, there are a few issues: plattforming feels floaty, collisions seems weird: I dashed through platforms and managed to get the player somewhat stuck, ie I stop walking I fall down, continue walking keep getting stuck. Someway to regain health would also be nice and a better feedback when you set a new highscore and get hurt wouldnt be so bad, other than that... I had fun playing it and I'll probably play it again :)

HAckBotz by recursor 2010-09-04T10:45:00

hard given the one hit kill, and the platforming felt a little spacy, though maybe that was intended. i really didn't like that when hacked you could kill yourself really easy

dudidadala by sirGustav 2010-08-29T10:11:00

Here are a few tips if you think the game is too hard: :)
* don't pickup the stars unless you have to, aside from giving you the ability to shoot, they also restore your health(should be clear enough in the post-compo version).
* if you find yourself without a gnome to throw, you can usually go back and take a different route, pick one up and return.
* magicians fire at your current position, if you jump when they shoot their first shot chances are you might be able to dodge them.

I'll try to post a walk-through later when I get my hands on a decent capture tool.

dudidadala by sirGustav 2010-09-05T05:29:00

this is weird... the submitted game appears to have some sort of bug making it harder than it's supposed to be, sorry :( Megaman load means you gotta charge up your shot by holding Z and releasing when it's charged. You do get a short time of invincible(1 second) when you pick up a star

This End Up by JamesGecko 2010-09-06T14:37:00

I missed sounds. Sfxr would be great for this kind of game..

Exterminate 48 by Codexus 2010-09-06T14:06:00

The levels were challenging up to the point where I needed to jump between platforms. Sometimes I managed to time it, and I dont know if it's input lag, or me having a really hard time judging jump distances but something doesn't feel right. Other than that, great game :)

LunarMind by Gobo 2010-09-06T14:25:00

cute game where you scan spiders... never thought in a million years I was going to play that :)

Purple by roBurky 2010-09-06T14:30:00

I have no idea what I'm shooting at, and no idea why but it feels and sounds great. Started to lag when too many enemies started to show up, might my computer though as it hasn't been rebooted for quite some time :/

Hacking4Dummies by madpew 2010-09-06T14:15:00

interesting, but really hard... :(

Rotate! by Manuel777 2010-09-06T14:33:00

I got stuck in the walls when I rotated, and more or less got really confused when I did.

Alien Abduction of Aliens by Danik 2010-08-24T05:51:00

It was annoying when I got hurt by humans behind the cloud, otherwise great game

Head Trauma by GreaseMonkey 2010-09-04T14:15:00

I'm rating you one in community since while you did have alot of posts, most of them were rants about how everything gamedev enviroment sucks.

Space Recycler by Darkhogg 2010-09-04T07:58:00

as others have stated, promising except slow controls

Defend Your Glacier by Meep 2010-09-06T13:50:00

I found myself without snowballs waiting to die, other than that, great game & funny death sound :)

EA X3000 by Dslayer27 2010-09-06T13:57:00

the graphics looks ok to me, however the platforming feel awkward

Prot by eugeneius 2010-09-04T13:50:00

cute graphics, reminds me of kirby... very well made game but a bit hard to know how far your eat/suck range goes.

Survive 60 by ExciteMike 2010-09-04T08:15:00

with the weird background it felt like I wasnt moving. either enemies may start to jump randomly or I feel the collision isnt spot on as i was standing on one guy and I randomly died when guys walked past under me, really great game and the sounds are awesome though

LD19 — Discovery

Epic Treasure Hunter by sirGustav 2010-12-20T21:43:00

fwiw, I am working on a post compo version where the level is more sketched out :)

Deep sea discovey by piotrekb 2011-01-10T20:47:00

awesome music, great colorful graphics but really hard gameplay

* AchooBoxes * (OSX) by anthonyl 2011-01-10T21:53:00

looks kinda interesting from the screens and video, but I'm on windows/ubuntu so I can't play it

dis_covery by jagttt 2011-01-10T22:07:00

unexpected, but really great. hats off!

Hey, Person! by barigorokarl 2011-01-10T22:57:00

I found the full-room-move and the constant chatter of nearby people to be irritating. It might have been me but people seemed to say the same thing to me after I left and came back, I would rather have a talk-to button instead of auto-talk-to button if that makes any sense.

Unfathomed by kylerhoades 2011-01-10T21:19:00

carpet bombing was fun for a few minutes, this entry is missing some sound and good moody music. perhaps some bubbles and stuff that makes the water look like your moving in the world, sometimes i didn't know if I was moving or not since there wasn't any ground or fishes around, and while the camera did help somewhat with this, I foound it mosly irritating and lagging behind.

Land Ho! by brandonman 2011-01-10T21:01:00

This seems unfinished, the rock solo song while nice doesnt fit the pirate setting, the controls seems loose/unresponsive, like I'm rather controlling the wind than the ship. I would much rather prefer some mouse aiming and wasd like movement, with sfxr style sounds, but then again, that's not unique :)

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

TAKE THIS!!! by SonnyBone 2011-05-23T21:41:00

both my screens went black before the game started in windowed mode, the acceleration of the main character was slow and I had to stop to attack and the enamies/friends didnt fight back. other than that, I think it was great

LD22 — Alone

[Greeble] by McFunkypants 2012-01-09T22:33:00

it was moody and following the theme until you picked up your first friend then it was just unfitting music as you jumped all around. +1 for html5 though

Last breath by deepnight 2012-01-09T22:13:00

feels floaty and sometimes stutters however cute dog and amazing graphics and atmosphere

Leave Me Alone! by blahoink 2012-01-08T21:38:00

hilarious!

LD23 — Tiny World

a SMALL problem by sirGustav 2012-05-10T20:00:00

> jump was a bit counter intuitive (you needed to be facing back for the rat to propel you forward -- what?)

That shouldn't be the case. The jumping direction is based on where on the rat you land, land on the left part to go left or land on the right part to go right. Neither your or the rat direction should be taken into account.

Astro Break by hulahulahest 2012-04-23T15:07:00

Sometimes rocks get caught up in each other and small rocks are seems to weight as much as the larger ones. Other than that, a great game!

LD24 — Evolution

A scientific experiment by sirGustav 2012-08-28T19:23:00

Genration - How many lives you have played, like "a woodsmither in fifth generation" or "Generation X"

The resolution is 1280x1024, I though wouldn't be unreasonable but according to the steam survey the second most popular resolution is 1366 x 768

Silent Game of Death by everchanger 2012-08-27T20:21:00

I'm actually giving you a 4 stars for audio since in this case silence is a better design then constant sfxr gun sounds. With that said, some tron/daft punk like music would have been since for this kind of look.

Strike of Rage ! by deepnight 2012-08-27T06:45:00

Congrats on having completed a great game!

The ducks are taking over!! by JaJ 2012-09-17T21:30:00

awesome retro feel

Primordial Punchout by TestSubject06 2012-08-27T06:36:00

I stopped playing when I climed through a glasswall and couldn't get out. It could use some sounds, sfxr would be a great fit for this kind of game.

LD25 — You are the Villain

The Furry Fours vs. Goatie the EVIL Goat by sirGustav 2012-12-18T09:19:00

tz11: added a win32 build
Tobias: Forgot to add key, you block by holding down, block the punches and hit him when he's happy.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Ludom Dare by sirGustav 2014-05-01T09:53:00

The android file should link to a apk that you put on your android device and install, how to actually connect the ps3 controller to the device I'm not sure how to do. The sony folks did that for us on their xperia tablet.

As for a build for windows/osx I can't really help you. I only have unity basic, and we had some problem building the pro project in basic.
