LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Infinity Monkey Autocorrect by andyman404 2015-12-15T22:34:00

Loved it !

TartiFlu by smatcher 2015-12-15T23:15:00

We went for both themes so Left and Right are the only controls and the blob will go faster as it grows.
We should have made this more clear.

A prison for the mage by Aglavra 2015-12-15T22:57:00

I feel that you should have embraced the flying (limitless jump) instead of leaving it as a crutch. With some visual effects and tuning it would fit the game nicely.

Legendary Legionnaire Massacre 2 by banana4life 2015-12-15T22:13:00

I love the crowd effect.

BoltStorm by Kuality Games 2015-12-15T23:30:00

Very nice game.
A minimap or something indicating where the ennemies and the knights are would be helpful.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Alida of Arx by jsmars 2018-04-26T21:33:54Z

Amazing graphics, I didn't expect the game to be fully voiced. I'm impressed. The spirit asking you to leave the room is a nice touch. The character tends to moonwalk a bit too much though ;)

Your game made me say "I've got a bullet with your name on it" more than once I have to admit :smile:

Maybe the best submission I've seen so far. BTW, that lighting is awesome and I really dig the twisted corridor feeling at the beginning ^^

Super Bass Racing by isaaclopinho 2018-04-25T21:02:10Z

Nice take on the Fishing+Racing theme. The menu is confusing since you can't actually play single player but I really love the art style and the fishing line as a selector is a nice touch.

The Last Word by adsilcott 2018-04-26T22:25:29Z

Awesome illustrations and graphics in general, I love the mood. There is a lot of potential, you could make a really cool game, if you extended the RTS gameplay. However, being pulled constantly from the RTS part by the visual novel is a bit annoying and probably could have been done in a less intrusive way. The visual novel part is really good and adds a lot to the immersion but I think it should run more smoothly, not having to press space for every line of text.

Finally there is a bug with funky aspect ratios, the background art keeps switching between stretched and bordered depending on which mode the game is in.

Fish for Speed by Draedrus 2018-04-26T16:12:37Z

Thanks everyone for the warm feedback.

The initial plan was to make the player fish along the way in order to get more time/points/or a speed boost. We ran out of time and didn't implement and tune all that. The game is missing some feedback when you catch the fishs. Also the fishs only spawn when you reach a checkpoint instead of spawning randomly around the player. The progress indicator at the bottom right tells you how far you are to the next checkpoint/fishing spot.

@jsmars we didn't expect that post to have such an impact ^^. We're drowning in ratings now :smile:. We'll make up for it by rating even more games when we get back from work.

Eggstinction by kukiri 2018-04-25T21:15:08Z

I just love that walk cycle *Flails wildly* Also the way blocks falls around you reminds me of I.Q. on the PsOne

Karaoke Ninja by GastricSparrow 2018-04-26T23:31:01Z

Awesome concept! I totally have to try this in coop with a friend playing the guitar.

Agent Patissier by sndr 2018-04-26T22:30:43Z

"Hey you weirdough" you really got me there :laughing:

KEYBOARD WARRIOR by croewens 2018-04-26T22:38:02Z

I really love the way the UI is integrated around the player, it looks really cool.

Tiny Crusader by nilstastic 2018-04-27T22:28:17Z

A lemmings style game, made with pico8 ? I love it!

AeroWrit - Text/Flight Sim by AzimuthGames 2018-04-27T23:07:10Z

Reminded me a lot of Quadrilateral Cowboy :smile: The voice over are really fun and the plane is a joy to fly despite (or should I say thanks to) the command line controls.

Without getting into complicated stuff like a proper flight model I think you should at least implement some banking when the plane turns. Also the console tends to loose some input when you type during the tutorial and when you abuse the command history with the up/down keys. Finally the mouse sensitivity was waay too big for me and the camera was spining all over the place whenever I touched the mouse.

All in all a really cool entry, especially for a first one, I'd love to see you turn this into a more fleshed out game.
