LD26 — Minimalism

Stykk by Entity2D 2013-04-30T11:37:00

Cool little minimal metroidvania!

tequilaJumper by mort96 2013-05-01T22:22:00

Pretty solid. The game seemed to give a pretty steady progression of platforms, and even seemed to give the player a breather after a tough section, which is pretty good for a random platform generator if that was your intent.

RGB by Boiúna 2013-05-06T01:03:00

I liked the piano music, and it was a pretty cool concept, but very short! I hope you expand it in the future.

Cube Colors by PabloAlexandre31 2013-05-05T01:49:00

Pretty cool key system with the color mixing. Good job!

Jetpack Jester by rustybroomhandle 2013-04-30T11:04:00

Very unique and interesting concept, I'd really like to see where this goes. Love the use of voxel graphics.

Gods Will Be Watching by Deconstructeam 2013-05-04T19:16:00

It's a sci-fi Oregon Trail! Loved it! That fire is a real pain, though.

_M_ by GranaDa 2013-05-04T11:50:00

I think I figured out one or two things about this game, but must be missing something because I can't seem to make it past getting 3 white triangles at the bottom lit.

I like the sounds and how they work together with the graphics to build a mood of eerie, futuristic suspense. Good job!

Gimme back my keys by pinkmonkeyhead 2013-04-30T16:40:00

Nice, well polished feel, and a unique concept.

Friendship in a Post-Apocalyptic World by marnaouf 2013-04-30T15:22:00

Unique concept, Good job! I liked how sometimes the friends' shots helped the other.

Moonshine by TravisChen 2013-05-04T16:21:00

Nice polished graphics. Good job!

Minimalist Art Club by basspenguin 2013-05-01T02:16:00

Very well done, awesome use of the theme. It was fun to guess what it wanted, even on the last level before finding out the big secret. It would be great if it could talk to you in an exciting, artsy voice.

Angry Viking vs Minimalist Hipsters by reverso13 2013-04-30T02:03:00

This was a lot of fun, one of the most fun I've played so far. It had some good laughs.

As for the complaints about the dialog, maybe replacing the offending words with viking words that start with the same letter?

No Color Allowed by Aaron San Filippo 2013-05-06T23:11:00

Pretty good for 2 hours of work. I'd love to see it fleshed out some more.

Kitten's Pixel by MvT 2013-05-04T13:46:00

I liked the pixellated art, and it was fun bounding down the hills. Interesting movement mechanic.

Bridge Crosser by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2013-05-06T03:23:00

Well, at first I thought, "Wow, this is easy." Then the bridge started flying apart and I peed myself a little. Then after I had gotten used to that, angry meteors arrived!

Great job!

shon by bitnenfer 2013-05-04T17:59:00

Pretty cool, I liked the mechanics, especially how you could set up a shield of bubbles that would persist for a few seconds.

Stalker by The Consul 2013-05-02T19:37:00

Liked the graphics, the story seemed to be good, but I got stuck after reading the letter and couldn't find anything new to click on/do.

Shrinking Contract by pikmin4000 2013-05-02T19:54:00

Interesting mechanic, at least if I'm playing it right - move, and hit space when dude is heading at the angle you want to fly.

DeaN by Sakuyan 2013-05-04T11:59:00

Like the Gameboy style graphics. I also ran out of enemies in Game Mode, at about 500 points, so I didn't get to play long.

Scout Droid Bravo 325 Jr by Mark Hildreth 2013-05-07T00:54:00

Really awesome! Great puzzle mechanics, and some pretty funny dialog.

Voice of Fire by theGiallo 2013-04-30T10:27:00

Nice audio, really made me feel like I was inside the run.

Atrakt 4096 by foumart 2013-05-07T02:10:00

Very nice! Interesting, with the safe and danger zones, and the mechanic of kicking the bombs into place.

Great job!

XYZ by ataxkt 2013-05-04T16:40:00

Pretty awesome! Great little perspective puzzle game.

Paddlewhite by Dohan 2013-04-30T10:52:00

The graphics were some of the best I've seen so far in this LD. Nice job!

Agree with Xatulu that the enemy shots were hard to see due to being a similar color to the starfield.

MINUS by rubna 2013-05-06T16:41:00

Almost... maybe with some balancing and some polish this could be decent.

Distradiction by shines 2013-05-04T17:28:00

Sometimes you just have to get pushy with your distractions. Good job!

S by rodrigomotta 2013-05-01T02:43:00

Very nice and well polished. I really like the graphics, and how each time track had its own color. Very unique gameplay.

mesh by nseward 2013-04-30T17:15:00

Pretty interesting. Took me a moment to figure out the travel path was set. I like the music, good use of sampling.

Join by Perry 2013-05-04T18:08:00

Pretty cool, nice progression and pacing in introducing new concepts to the player.

Don't Hit The Core by TheSarcastic 2013-05-06T01:40:00

Nice concept, will be really cool once the kinks are worked out. Good job!

Brian's School of Minimalism by DustyStylus 2013-05-02T20:46:00

Pretty fun, great use of the theme. Brian was a hoot, with all of his comments.

IN MALI SOMMI by Capro 2013-05-04T13:13:00

Pretty well done, interesting concept. Liked the music.

One idea would be to use the mouse cursor to aim the shield instead of the keyboard, this would give much more responsive and accurate control of the shield.

A Mini Adventure by AxeTheory 2013-04-30T00:42:00

I like the use of 3D objects with 2D platformer mechanics. The music is very mellow and kind of soothing.

The Parasite by jahlgren 2013-04-30T16:57:00

Liked the gameboy-style graphics. Well polished, though I must admit I didn't make it beyond level 3 at any point.

MNML by docix 2013-05-06T02:14:00

Very nice! I thought I had it all figured, and then, boom, the rotation reverses on me.

Very cool concept.

Funky Lincoln Saves the Day by TheCze 2013-05-02T21:14:00

This played really well. Very original and very well polished.

Union by theplotlessplot 2013-04-30T02:39:00

This partly reminded me of an old 2600 game, Planet Patrol, but with the shooting mechanic replaced with a collecting one.

Nicely done!

RPG by jcvsmc 2013-04-29T20:04:00

I found this pretty addicting. Good job.

Monoboy by jhrrsn 2013-05-05T01:57:00

Really cool, I like how you have to mix the colors to get the second-order platforms to appear.

SHAPE-X by wintermute 2013-05-07T01:54:00

Very nice, a very different kind of shooter. Great job!

Though this should be a jam entry if your friend created the song for it.

Chez Angelo by EdoMiyamoto 2013-05-04T11:35:00

Wow, that's a lot of 3D level design for 48 hours. Good job! There was quite a mood through the whole game, but I think the creepiest part was when everyone around the stage was staring at me with those little beady eyes.

Sometimes key items seemed a little difficult to interact with (the key, the second flower). I had to get fiddly with the camera and my position relative to the item to make it work.

Bug Hunting by kannas 2013-05-06T01:31:00

Link appears to be down at the moment...

Suprema by dook 2013-04-30T19:00:00

Very cool concept.

One suggestion - if the player starts running low on shapes to use (i.e., no supremas possible), they should be able to get more shapes without sacrificing time. On that one point I felt like I was being penalized for doing well.

Other than that, great job.

Mondrian Madness by ThatOtherPerson 2013-04-30T15:13:00

Hmm, on my browser (Firefox, latest), the screen draws, then goes blank except for what seems like my square. Nothing seems to work after that.

SDFJKL by Dining Philosopher 2013-05-06T22:50:00

Very unique controls! Took a while to get the hang of it, but it was a lot of fun. Great job!

Tessitron by radmars 2013-05-06T03:02:00

Pretty cool rhythm game. I liked the pieces that were tied together and thus were trickier to destroy.

Good job!

cGame by deeJayUA 2013-05-04T20:56:00

Very original, though it gets tough pretty quick with all the added graduations of color.

Brutaliz'Art LD26 by lotusgame 2013-05-04T13:00:00

Lol, this is one of the funniest entries I've seen. And with an intro video, even! Awesome job!

Simple Shape Adventures by Stryphe 2013-04-30T02:14:00

Neat little quadrathalon of minimized arcade games.

Game Formerly Known as BlockBuilder by RexSpaceman 2013-04-30T18:51:00

I really liked it, I would have loved for it to have been longer, building more complex shapes under a tighter time constraint. Hopefully this is just the beginning for this.

Great job!

Pete Hated Circles by bgr 2013-05-02T20:29:00

This reminded me bit of the old arcade game Qix. In fact, I almost expected a bonus of some sort when I trapped 2 balls in separate boxes. I liked how it works with the theme!

Funtendoid W.E.T. by Ariake81 2013-04-29T15:48:00

The first time I tried it seemed to get stuck at the music switch dialog. I think I may have been colliding with a projectile/enemy at the time. The second time thru I was able to reach the end.

Did anyone else just start shooting at the kitten thinking it was some kind of boss?

Vs. by KJScott 2013-04-30T01:35:00

I too was confused at first, but a little persistence paid off and I was very pleased with how it evolved.

Enneadeca by Rongon 2013-05-06T22:40:00

Interesting concept. Might be easier if I spent some time with the six-way controls.

Mininal Risk by Bedgar 2013-05-05T02:18:00

Pretty cool, like the minimal take on the board game classic.

Milton by ZYXer 2013-05-06T03:42:00

Great use of the theme! Unique concept, and the graphics were very well done.

Awesome job!

SSSS : Super Simple Smart Shooter by Nekith 2013-05-06T17:13:00

Pretty cool, liked the ammo mechanic at first, though after the first 30 seconds I felt like I was always out of ammo, and couldn't make any headway against the increasing number of enemies. Maybe boosting number of ammo given by pickups?

SUMOMIMAL by Conve 2013-05-03T16:39:00

This brought a smile on my face when I played it. Loved the concept.

One suggestion would be to give an indication of what way the player is facing - not being able to see that made the controls a bit difficult to handle at times.

Cylinder by Jacqueslelezard 2013-04-30T17:59:00

Cool concept, love to see it fleshed out more.

Less than Shadows by Cosine 2013-05-06T01:45:00

Liked the concept, though the movement felt a little bit touchy. Overall, good job!

AlterSpace by guestcheap 2013-05-04T17:21:00

Pretty cool! Love the concept of switching between editor and gameplay.

Potatoroids by lpcustom 2013-05-07T02:33:00

Adding gravity to your basic asteroids game makes it a bit more interesting. Good job!

OnlyOne by mrexcessive 2013-04-30T19:44:00

Very creative puzzle game! Nicely done.

Pillar by drkrunk 2013-05-06T02:51:00

This was pretty cool, especially the music. I seemed to keep running into a glitch where I would randomly teleport to an edge of the map, though.

Lumber Rumble by MRvanderPants 2013-05-05T02:06:00

Pretty cute and fun little game. Great job!

True treasure of Kartoffelschloss by mortus 2013-05-04T13:39:00

Lol, first thing I thought when I started this game was, "I don't need all of these weapons!" I liked how the game slowly started whittling down your arsenal.

Ten Shades of Grey by Nancybeast 2013-04-30T16:42:00

Web link not working.

Tower of Pixel by AlanZucconi 2013-05-04T16:12:00

Pretty cool, this had an addictive quality to it.

Tetriminodes by chowdy 2013-05-01T22:13:00

Like the game mechanics! Just the right length too, I was just about to stop and rate when it said "final level" and convinced me to see it through to the end.

Bayou by paulmcgg 2013-04-30T18:44:00

Very nice artwork and sound! Really set quite a mood. I felt like a croc was going to snap my boat in half any second.

Dehoarder by SmilingCat 2013-04-29T02:57:00

@Mega1mpact: Yes, win state is at 10,000 points.

@martijn: I added a Windows build, hopefully that is what you needed. Unfortunately I don't have the hardware to test other standalone builds.

Dehoarder by SmilingCat 2013-04-29T12:01:00

@m64 It is very beatable, my best time is day 6, 12pm. My wife's best is day 10. The shortcut keys displayed below the buttons should help things go a lot faster.

Dehoarder by SmilingCat 2013-04-29T23:43:00

@xgeovanni - I kept all of the models as simple as possible, and used scaling with a simple cube model for anything "boxy". The most complex model was the room itself at 270 triangles. There are 10 unique models used and the rest save the room are 60 triangles or less. I usually say I dislike blender 3D, and only use it because its free, but if you say I accomplished a feat of productivity with it, maybe I need to change the way I look at that program. Most of the textures are just solid or pattern fills with a little geometric ornamentation and text. Some stuff, like the furniture, isn't even textured, just a colored material.

@KilledByAPixel - great idea to streamline, I like your idea of getting rid of the popup, and a later version will just use a single click or keystroke to deal with an item. I'd actually love to do that now, but gameplay-wise, we're stuck with the version we have until judging ends.

@SomeNetworkGuy - I was wondering too if this could help real hoarders. I think it actually models what I know of the recovery process pretty well in taking small steps to build up to taking larger steps.

Dehoarder by SmilingCat 2013-05-01T00:17:00

@JimmyLord - I had thought about having the inspector not come if you got your act together, but for purposes of the dare figured that it would not play into the race to 10,000 points, so changing that went out of scope for now. There are in fact a couple of glitches unapparent to the player (and thus went unfixed) where objects could get stuck inside/under furniture, making a full clear impossible, so I didn't tie any sort of accomplishment to a full clear for that reason.

@dook - I was wondering when someone was going to make the Katamari connection. I did rather borrow from their progression mechanic (just substitute will increase for size increas), as well as borrowing their tendency for uncanny knockoffs of real world items with tongue-in-cheek flavor text.

Dehoarder by SmilingCat 2013-05-11T17:01:00

@Codename Crab: Wow, awesome! This is the first time someone besides me has ever made a video of one of my games, and I am rather flattered. Thanks, I'm going to link to it on my blog a littler later, hope that is OK!

Pivot by meat_popsicle 2013-04-30T18:09:00

I liked the concept, though I couldn't quite figure out what would cause the blocks to slide closer together after a match.

OptiWars by therealeek 2013-05-06T17:02:00

Pretty cool, though I agree that it needs some balance in regards to the missile launcher. I was able to score 24 by using just 3 missile launchers to take the whole map.

hru by gilmore606 2013-05-01T10:33:00

Very interesting mechanic and concept, and a lot of fun to play. One of the best I've seen this compo.

Great work!

Zrist by Andres B. Gonzalez 2013-05-06T17:47:00

Seem to be having an issue on the web version where it sometimes generates walls too high to jump over?

When I don't get levels that start like that, it's a lot of fun.

Zephyr by joe40001 2013-04-30T19:54:00

I liked the music, though I could not understand how to play the game.

Ballisto by nemec 2013-04-30T14:52:00

Nice graphics and sound, well done.

Minimalist Horror Story by MinionStudios 2013-05-04T17:09:00

Wow, that was creepy. I made it down to the basement, and something killed me, not sure what.

Steve Can't Zen by DaanVanYperen 2013-05-04T13:23:00

I lol'd so hard while playing this. Pretty much a button masher, but oh man, sheesh, and with the deer, and...

Ping by Cybearg 2013-05-01T22:32:00

Wow, knowing what I know of programming the 2600 hardware, this is no small feat to have done this from scratch in 48 hours.

On top of that, it is actually a really cool game concept and well executed at all levels.

Amazing.

Karate Alien Color Attack by papazoot 2013-05-06T20:56:00

I liked how the background color changed as you picked up the bars. Great job!

Abduction - finally... by MartianWatts 2013-05-06T02:26:00

Love the concept, cool gameplay.

I'm not very good at it, though. I don't seem to be able to last very long. I think my best was around 170 abductions.

Radius minigolf by NicoSaraintaris 2013-04-30T11:45:00

Pretty cool little minigolf game. Took a minute to figure out the shooting mechanic but after that I had fun.

the pretentious apple by Bluebutton 2013-05-07T02:49:00

Very beautifully done! Both the graphics and the music are gorgeous. Love how you rotate a single piece of the puzzle at a time.

Excellent work!

You Must Escape by GertJohnny 2013-05-04T17:41:00

Wow, this was pretty inspired. One of the better survival games I've played in a while.

You Don't Belong Here by Kinzata 2013-04-29T17:06:00

Very nice! It gets really interesting when the red ones start charging you. I like playing matador with them.

Good take on minimalist art and all of its brightly-colored squares.

TRANSFER_THEM by Sayaer 2013-04-30T00:15:00

Very zen-like. I really liked the music, too.

You may want to consider throwing this up on Kongregate or something. The only way I could play was to download the webplayer file and html from dropbox, then correct the reference in the html file to the right filename. If it's on Kong, it will be much more seamless and easier for others to rate.

Pew pew! by Tigrounette 2013-05-07T02:31:00

Wow, those formations are beautiful, if deadly. Great job!

Ellipse Madness by shaircast 2013-05-06T22:59:00

I have never been motion sick before in my life, until now.

I did think it was a really interesting game mechanic. I'd play this more if the screen didn't move around so much.

Steam-Cube by Monoquartz 2013-05-04T17:02:00

I recognize the music - it is the same music that I use for the title screen of my game EARL's Warehouse, "Junk Ship Gold" by Dan-O.

Unfortunately using music not created during the 48 hour compo is a no-no.

Other than that little hitch, this was a good fun game to play.

MeenoMinal by niun 2013-05-03T16:35:00

It took me a moment to figure out that the lifts can be controlled even when not on them.

Overall, good job, and congrats on your first LD entry.

Expander by iossif 2013-04-30T14:33:00

Very interesting concept, simple, yet engaging. This was a lot of fun to play.

Save the potato! by loxo 2013-05-06T02:32:00

Interesting, congrats on your first LD entry. Good job!

The Cave by euwaku 2013-05-06T23:23:00

Hmm, it's been stuck at "Loading, please wait" for about the past 5 minutes... will try to come back to this one.

One Blocky Room by evilDan 2013-05-06T23:21:00

Lol, I thought I had died when I reached the green particles, like maybe they were poison or something. Then I realized the game had just gone sideways on me.

Hyportee by sirdorius 2013-04-30T02:25:00

Pretty cool, I liked how I could use the attached shapes as a shield against the evil triangles.

A by SeruK 2013-05-06T23:28:00

I liked how when I got frustrated, I could just bang on the keyboard and the game would make a lot of noise back.

Good job!

Critical Mess by Yoni 2013-04-30T14:06:00

Wow, everything about this game is good. The best I've played so far this LD. Love the concept. Great Job!

PRISMA by Dark Acre Jack 2013-05-04T12:50:00

It was fun just putting together the sounds and shapes. Nothing more needed here. Great job!

The Minimalizer by johnfn 2013-04-29T17:23:00

Liked the music!

Nimin: A minimal sidescroll shooter by Haversack 2013-04-30T17:03:00

Cool graphics, especially the ship sprite.

Hyperdimensional Gorofu Shot Champion by uncade 2013-05-07T00:12:00

Pretty cool, I think this could be evolved into a fully-fledged space golf game.

Great job!

Whatever Game by wademcgillis 2013-05-06T19:04:00

Very nice! Good game mechanics, and excellent use of the theme.

Pulcino by Vincenzo 2013-05-07T00:19:00

Pretty cute little game, liked the multiple endings.

Balls Balls Balls by matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-04T12:12:00

Pretty cool, Those arrows are tough to deal with. Liked the graphics and the effects behind the balls. I felt like I was playing some sort of intergalactic polo.

I lost a ball to overacceleration on level 17. Perhaps an out-of-bounds check on the balls, triggering the ball or level to reset?

Linemalism by Rubi 2013-05-07T01:32:00

Very cool. Great use of the theme, and I loved the music.

Spellbox by superjoebob 2013-05-06T02:01:00

Took me a while to realize I could slide rows/columns of letters, once I discovered that it was much better.

I immediately turned to my wife and called it an "Infinite Boggle where you can slide stuff around", and that got her very interested as well.

Great job!

Potato Station by naufr4g0 2013-05-07T01:44:00

Pretty cool retro graphics and sound. Poor pink creatures are going to die of starvation, at least the ones that weren't dissected.

Great job!

Mondrian Click by CherryNukaCola 2013-05-04T12:17:00

Pretty cool, I like how the ripple mechanic prevents you from just camping a small area with the mouse.

Good job.

Controlled State by GameNacho 2013-05-06T00:50:00

Pretty cool, I managed to get 3 different endings.

Good job on the environment models!

Highway 00101 by r3d5 2013-05-06T03:28:00

Loved the graphics and the soundtrack!

Essense by Jorjon 2013-05-06T16:36:00

The light beams were a good hint for when landing on a platform changed the layout.

Good job!

Where is my Bone? by Uhfgood 2013-05-01T21:32:00

I'm apparently quite a forgetful dog, forgetting about so many things I've buried.

This was pretty funny and enjoyable.

Wandering Darkness by Graham Weldon 2013-05-04T12:37:00

Wow, awesome music, that's a lot for 48 hours of work.

I thought the game got a lot easier when the power-up items were introduced, maybe introducing them earlier and being more sparing with them later would reduce the frustration level.

Overall, great job!

The Quest for Minimalism by Arkazon 2013-05-04T20:13:00

Pretty cool, I liked how you could confound the monsters by walking over top of them.

Alien Raid by LTyrosine 2013-05-01T02:55:00

Nice minimalist RTS. I normally don't get into RTS, but I was getting into this one. Good graphics, and the music reminded me of some of the stuff Larry Fast/Synergy has done. Awesome job!

Slope by flashkick 2013-04-30T18:24:00

Really simple, but a lot of fun! Needs more ramps! I found myself risking the game just to hit another ramp.

The Minimisealist by monkeymad2 2013-04-30T14:58:00

Is there a browser requirement for this? In mine (Firefox, latest), I seemed to hear popups, but did not see any popups.

The Minimisealist by monkeymad2 2013-04-30T18:28:00

Sorry, still not able to see the popups on my browser even after multiple refreshes.

Does that mean I win by default? In essence, my configuration seems to have done the job of eliminating the popups for me. =D

The Minimisealist by monkeymad2 2013-05-02T20:37:00

Ok, LOL, I figured out why I couldn't see popups. AdBlockPlus was literally killing the in-game popups. Disabled ABP for your game page, and the game now works like a charm.

Pretty cool game concept, and I liked how the popups were subtly different.

Though I think the TARDIS has been, erm... compromised, lol.

'moeba by Oliver Simon 2013-05-04T18:13:00

Pretty fun. I spent most of my time chasing after new brown segments to try to get back to original size.

Timothy's Adventure by FenrisWolf 2013-04-29T18:00:00

Enjoyable, reminded be a bit of the arcade game Berserk from way back in the day.

Aranami by Frozen Fractal 2013-05-04T11:08:00

Great game, loved the music and the concept.

Really well polished graphics, love the effect of the lines on the sand.

Awesome job!

Dungeoneer by protensity 2013-04-30T01:50:00

Good story - I managed to save Anivia, but I think I might have picked up a touch of megalomania in the process.

X PRESS by Pitoum 2013-05-07T02:55:00

Beautiful graphics, I wanted to stop and admire the skyline.

Good job!

SQUARE TRIANGLE CIRCLE by danblack 2013-05-06T18:14:00

Very cool, I like the whole dropping mechanic.

Auraline by Julian Ceipek 2013-05-01T02:29:00

The audio was top notch, and the concept was good. I was really getting into it.

For some reason, the limited viewport caused me considerable eyestrain, though, and I could not play very long. That's probably me, though, and not any fault of yours.

Minianimalism! by lorancou 2013-04-30T14:17:00

Interesting concept, awesome graphics. Cool use of the theme. Great job!

D.RE.U by Pitƶik4 2013-04-30T00:31:00

Very nice, I definitely had a couple of those "Aha" moments when I discovered things about the puzzle mechanics.

Panzers by Canard Sauvage 2013-05-06T20:44:00

Loved the fail screen. Great job!

Minizator by Dreauw 2013-04-30T19:35:00

Very nice, however, I am also having a lot of trouble with the double-jump & switch dimensions mechanic. I keep appearing inside the wall and taking damage.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Surface Battle by Zerod 2014-04-28T18:30:00

Cool little arena shooter. I like the pixel art graphics!

Blowing up the surface by Thinkofdeath 2014-04-28T19:32:00

Love the madcap destruction! More!

I am a Mole by graebor 2014-04-28T19:45:00

This reminded me a lot of Katamari or Tasty Planet.

Water SkiFree by OddballDave 2014-05-01T18:16:00

Nice graphics and good use of the theme, though everything seems a bit too small, especially the skier and the schools of tiny fish.

Beyond The Dark by Avichal 2014-05-01T11:50:00

Was pretty fun, great concept! Yes, a battery indicator would be great.

Seed by AgentParsec 2014-04-28T03:24:00

Interesting, unique concept. Nice simple graphics, pretty soundtrack. Great job!

fall by starpixie 2014-05-01T14:05:00

Nice graphics. dying was pretty funny, spinning and falling for miles downward.

Sea Fighters by Julgodis 2014-04-28T15:06:00

Pretty fun little shooter, unfortunately at one point it glitched out on me and the screen went to all one color, and my game got reset as a result.

Dig Down by CogComp 2014-05-01T18:46:00

Nice graphics, interesting concept. I think you have the start of something interesting here.

Mars Under The Surface by zerocreativity1 2014-05-01T23:25:00

Pretty solid platforming controls, I never felt frustrated or hindered by them which is a rarity for a LD platformer. I think I got pretty far, but then the game glitched and the blocks stopped spawning though their colliders were still active and I could not continue from there.

sirtet by ahnt 2014-05-01T11:57:00

Interesting use of the theme, and unique game concept overall. I really liked the idea of reversed Tetris.

Cthulus are Beneath the Surface by Pent 2014-04-28T02:07:00

I can see other players moving and firing, but I do not seem to be able to. I'm using Firefox.

Moon Mole Massacre by jcvsmc 2014-04-28T18:36:00

Surprisingly addictive. I love all the different vibrant colored moles that appear. Great job!

Wriggle Worm by gikdew 2014-04-28T20:23:00

The turn radius of the worm adds quite a bit of strategy to the movement. Well done.

Dead men tell no tales by aaronjbaptiste 2014-04-28T12:24:00

Very fun, though I found it to be very tough. I'd love to see this fleshed out more. Great job!

Youdunnit by NightShadow0 2014-05-01T17:42:00

Great mood, loved the silhouette graphics.

The Spyware Who Loved Me by andrewkennedy 2014-04-28T02:51:00

Love the concept and the 8-bit graphics and sound are well done. Great job!

City Beneath the Surface by SmilingCat 2014-04-28T16:47:00

So based on everyone's comments so far, I went in and double-checked the controls to make sure they were working as intended. They seem to be for both the Windows and Web version, on at least 2 machines. The official submission is version 1.0.1.7, which is verified to be up at both links, please let me know if you find yourself running a different version. Specifically, I know the controls were jacked in 1.0.1.6, and there were significant changes between the two versions, but 1.0.1.7 was up well before the compo ended.

It would be helpful to have more specific info on what is off about the controls for a lot of people. I know that one person here said the turn speed seemed too slow, and another on Kong strongly disliked the inverted mouse for looking up/down.

For what it's worth, when I play, I mainly use WASD and Space, and the mouse to look up and down.

City Beneath the Surface by SmilingCat 2014-04-28T17:15:00

Version 1.0.1.8 adds an "Invert Mouse" setting to make the game more accessible to everyone who was not a fighter pilot in a previous life.

City Beneath the Surface by SmilingCat 2014-04-28T20:57:00

Well, I thought I remembered reading that making a game more accessible was within the rules, but upon review that does not appear to be the case, so the invert option has been relegated to a post-compo version, and 1.0.1.7 will continue to be the official compo version.

City Beneath the Surface by SmilingCat 2014-05-01T10:44:00

After playing my own game again after a couple of days, I figured out another part of the controls that is probably leading to some of these complaints. Wasn't really a "control" per say, but the smoothed rotation of the camera with the player. I've now made it a lot sharper in the post-compo version, so the camera should re-align rotation with the avatar much quicker.

City Beneath the Surface by SmilingCat 2014-05-01T17:22:00

Post-compo link fixed.

City Beneath the Surface by SmilingCat 2014-05-02T10:53:00

@Dualhammers - Thanks for the feedback. Item dropping/exchanging was not implemented for the compo, but is being considered for future versions. In the compo version each item must successfully be brought to its goal before another one can be picked up.

More than swimming around and collecting, the goal of the game is to reveal the story of Atlantis. I could definitely see this game getting more varied gameplay to that end; this is what I could provide within the compo.

The Longest Way Down by fullmontis 2014-04-28T20:11:00

Very nice artwork. Great job!

Shelter by TwitchSeventeen 2014-04-29T01:23:00

Very interesting game concept. Would be nice if I could fill whole areas, though.

Under the sea surface by ibilon 2014-05-01T15:56:00

Pretty cool, I didn't really have an issue with the difficulty, it just took some careful resource management in the beginning. Maybe make the dots for heavier treasure bigger on the radar.

Beneath The Memories by StuffBySpencer 2014-04-28T12:05:00

Pretty cool story, nice floaty platforming. Loved the narration! Great job!

You are now the Dungeon! by Cosrnos 2014-04-29T02:20:00

Interesting concept, I really liked how the two currencies were tied to both the success and failure of the adventurers.

Frictionless by Matthew Brown 2014-05-01T16:35:00

Cool puzzle mechanics. Could use a more clear indication of when walls can be moved (maybe have them change color).

Underball by Roks87 2014-04-28T18:10:00

It just comes up with a black screen for me. Win7/Firefox.

Beneath the 4th wall by eemmbbeerr 2014-05-01T17:17:00

Very interesting concept. I think it might be better if the ninja moved faster and the camera followed him during a test run.

Surface Come by Tanner 2014-04-28T15:13:00

If not for the obvious trademark issues, a good title for this would be "Pitfall Harry's Escape from Hell". Pretty fun little runner!

Ant Vision by frickajr 2014-05-01T22:52:00

I liked how you could move on mostly every surface available.

Professor Alpha by Marza 2014-05-01T14:31:00

I hope you do develop this further. I really liked the game concept.

Whack-A-Burster by Fortyseven 2014-04-29T01:44:00

Very nice graphics and atmosphere.

Giant Pumpkin by EpaceGames 2014-04-28T04:01:00

Whoa! A two-and-a-half ton pumpkin, and that was only my first try. Nice graphics, great use of the theme, unique concept.

Convoy Attack!! by Chompson 2014-04-29T00:11:00

Fun little sub game. Definitely fits the theme, and has some cool graphics. The water effects and ship model are especially nice!

Crugrock by sprawl 2014-04-28T15:55:00

Nice graphics, pretty unique gameplay. Great job!

Fish Photographer Simulator by Jacksendary 2014-04-29T00:01:00

At first, I thought I was supposed to walk along the bottom to find the fish, but I finally realized that the fish are supposed to come to me. After that, it was a pretty relaxing experience. Awesome graphics, and good soundtrack.

I like big BOMBS! by Pete_H 2014-04-28T02:19:00

Cool concept, there is more strategy than I originally thought to collecting the loot. Great job!

Bricked by twelveplusplus 2014-04-29T02:44:00

I got about halfway through the level, and the ball decided to leave through the side of the playfield and got stuck as a result. Nice chiptune soundtrack.

Under the kitchen surface by lorniebear 2014-04-28T17:43:00

Keep it up, I'm sure you'll beat your dad at this some day. Great job!

Moletube by johnhackworth 2014-05-01T16:10:00

No lag here, even in Firefox. Interesting concept, would love to see this expanded.

Broken Heart by TsFreddie 2014-04-28T11:24:00

Nice graphical art style. Had a very relaxed meditative feel. I liked how the music got more complex as I went on. Great job!

Mole Position by Glint Games 2014-04-28T02:45:00

Seems to have a resource leak or something - I started playing it, then it and my entire browser kept running slower, and slower, until it would barely run anymore. Using Windows/Firefox. Looks fun, I'll make another pass later and see if I can rate it then.

Small Town by louiscarl 2014-04-28T02:14:00

Like the pen-and-paper style artwork. Great job!

Memory Eater by Zyper 2014-04-28T12:48:00

It didn't seem to work in my Firefox Browser, or I couldn't find the secret key despite trying every key on the keyboard.

NanoDog by mechabit 2014-04-29T02:50:00

"Why did we give it adamantium hugging arms and loving gaze heat lasers?" lol, best line in the game. I think I got lucky and found the boss after only 3 or 4 rooms, but it was fun. Nice artwork especially on the cutscenes.

Coffin by mattrified 2014-04-28T03:15:00

Oooh wow, that is one Creepy Pasta you have there. Too close to bedtime to play that one any more. Awesome job with the graphics and sound!

Crazy Virus by Lunatic 2014-04-28T18:26:00

Nice runner, I recognize a lot of the music. Cool graphics, too.

The Mole Hole by Sylvain Dubrofsky 2014-04-28T02:32:00

Nice reversal of concept, and cool soundtrack. Great job!

Demonic Reflection by warwax 2014-05-01T17:49:00

Like the background contrast between above and below. Needs a reset level feature; at one point I got stuck and couldn't proceed.

Deep Love Compo by Halbernacht 2014-04-28T11:07:00

Pretty funny, doing pick-ups, lol. Great job!

In search of an Artist by suurin 2014-05-01T11:04:00

The visuals were nice, crisp and stark. I agree with what baykush_figtree said about the inputs, in addition, it took me a while to figure out I had a double jump (I see it in the instructions now, but had just glanced over them before playing).

MechSpider by Sebastião 2014-04-28T15:07:00

Also getting invalid data file.

Hollow Planet by Akz- 2014-04-28T18:47:00

Interesting platform mechanic, and good use of the theme.

Ocean Explorer by MintArcade 2014-04-28T18:02:00

Nice graphics, I like the use of bordering to be able to see profiles of far-off shapes.

You Must SMASH! by microapple 2014-04-28T02:41:00

Really fun for the most part, though the hitboxes on the open doors seemed to be finicky. I seemed to need to be positioned just right to activate them. Great job overall!

Under the Safes by DarkEngineer 2014-04-28T12:12:00

Nice artwork. I actually had to work to lose the game, am I supposed to be doing something other than catching the worms?

Blind Path by Gameness Monster 2014-05-01T14:33:00

site seems to be down.

Save Us by philip_sinclair 2014-04-28T15:48:00

Very innovative, yet simple. Great job!

Beneath the Surface: Monkeys story by dosER_42 2014-04-28T23:36:00

Exploding monkeys are always fun, though I couldn't really use my powerups because my mouse cursor was tied up working the onscreen joystick.

FoxyTank by matthias_zarzecki 2014-04-28T02:26:00

The little tank reminds me of Blaster Master from back in the day. Some solid graphics for a 48-hour entry. Good, minimalist bass soundtrack. Great job!

COVERUP by SFBTom 2014-05-01T20:51:00

I think this is a great start. It would be awesome if the hidden aliens were dangerous in some way.

Surface of Sanity by Shigor 2014-04-29T02:34:00

Neat art style. It's not often anymore that an FPS draws me in.

Shifter by Spaceoff 2014-04-29T23:32:00

Interesting take on the block puzzle concept. Easy to retrieve blocks that I accidentally push into corners, too.

Earth. by miwuc 2014-05-01T11:17:00

It was fun once I started finding stuff, until then I wasn't sure exactly what I was doing. Then I was like "Oh, archaeology, cool!" Maybe a bit of a hook would help - like a backstory or rigging it so that the first block dug always finds something, then the game returns to normal.

Ore Archer by kratorspore 2014-05-01T11:41:00

This was pretty unique. I had some fun, though at times I found the game a bit punishing, especially when an explosion chain-reacts to offscreen (awesome!) and unleashes a crapton of lava (not-so-awesome) that eventually owns the entire level.

Coal Not Dole by badlydrawnrod 2014-04-28T17:50:00

Hup! Coal! Coal! Coal! Coal! Coal! Coal! Hup! Hup! Coal! Hilarious.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Emitter by Humanoid 2015-04-20T12:43:00

Very nice, would love to see this fleshed out and a lot more levels added. The movement mechanics kind of reminded me of a really old computer game, "Daleks". Level 6 wasn't so hard, got it on the 2nd try. :)

Defence the castle of dreams by Smirnov48 2015-04-22T01:10:00

Alas, the CGA color palette. How I've missed you. Nice castle defense game, great job.

An unconventional weapon by devince 2015-04-23T22:16:00

Nice mood, excellent graphics. I was curious to see all of the various different endings. Great job!

Downbeat by AgentParsec 2015-04-24T17:54:00

Very nice! Great use of music as a weapon, and pretty awesome music too.

The Qi Disciple by Jerre 2015-04-23T19:46:00

Great mood, and good use of the theme. One suggestion I would make would be to have separate keys for controlling the Qi to prevent unintended movement of the character once the Qi hits something.

Search & Destroy by highlyinteractive 2015-04-21T01:10:00

Great graphics, awesome job. Is it actually hitting a search service to find the pictures?

Throw Junk at Aliens by jwin 2015-04-24T03:09:00

This was a blast! I liked how you could even pick up the houses. Great job!

This Fart of Mine by rodrigomotta 2015-04-22T01:39:00

Very nice juxtaposition of humor and the war setting. Pleasantly absurd. Great job!

Ninja With A Teddy Bear by agmcleod 2015-04-22T02:11:00

Great use of the theme, nice job!

Hatchet Harry by JokerDen 2015-04-20T13:39:00

I never thought I'd be playing a game where...

Hilarious and well done. Definitely an unconventional weapon.

Brain is your weapon by JacksGamesSucks 2015-04-22T19:58:00

The game does not seem to be up - getting an error page.

Brain is your weapon by JacksGamesSucks 2015-04-23T20:26:00

Kept me on my toes with some unexpected things - late in the game rec_circle for a red circle nearly tripped me up!

Natures Revenge by barkergames 2015-04-23T23:40:00

Awesome game! Most refreshing take on this type of game I have seen in a while.

Crump Rush by OnlySlightly 2015-04-22T00:31:00

Very nice! I was just barely able to complete it. Loved the mechanics, they were well done and well polished.

Truly magical cat by Yozz 2015-04-21T00:14:00

Awesome artwork, great job. Though I believe the correct name for the breed of cat may be "Punk-assed Hellcat", not "Striped ass". I know because I have one. ;-)

The morning type by Liam :D 2015-04-22T00:40:00

A very well done typing game. I really liked how the camera moved around the room, though I admit I was somewhat distracted by whatever psychadelic funk was going on in that armoire - was it a nightclub for underpants gnomes?

Get the Game! by xirion11 2015-04-20T17:45:00

Awesome artwork, great job!

Nanobot by Almax27 2015-04-23T22:46:00

Great start, love the art style.

Dirty Fork: Unleash the Mayhem by SmilingCat 2015-04-20T15:07:00

@badlydrawnrod lol, I guess that's what happens when you run out of time for texturing your models.

Dirty Fork: Unleash the Mayhem by SmilingCat 2015-04-21T10:28:00

Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I'm glad the controls aren't ruining the fun too much for anyone. It's an area I always seem to have problems with, though I think it's better this time around than last.

Soul Shutter by hitchh1k3r 2015-04-24T03:24:00

Very awesome. Like Time Crisis but with cameras and ghosts. Great job!

A Horsecut in Hairtown by JumbocactuarX27 2015-04-21T23:20:00

Nice art style, cool minigame concept. Great job!

Space Boy by Hyoga-3D 2015-04-20T16:51:00

Wow, this was a lot of fun. Great job!

Caffeine Rush by Tommislav 2015-04-21T21:13:00

Very nice, loved the art style, and coffee is definitely an unusual weapon. Great job!

Sir. Knightmare by Integershift 2015-04-21T01:45:00

Nice game, good graphics. I did find though that by camping the lower right light switch, I could hold out indefinitely.

Mirror Mirror by Kevlanche 2015-04-22T19:04:00

I like how the puzzles are multi-layered, needing to figure out both how to move safely and how to place mirrors. Great job!

Can i fly? by komjaur 2015-04-21T21:04:00

nice, liked the graphics, and good use of the theme. I liked swinging around, but couldn't quite scale the floating cubes.

ForgeCraft by Stals 2015-04-22T15:18:00

Well-implemented mechanics and lots of fun. Great job!

Cluedont by KamikaziUk 2015-04-20T20:16:00

Very nice graphics, great job. I liked the twist where some of the lies were harmless, to cover other embarrassments.

Fatal Traction by NegaByte 2015-04-22T21:07:00

Very nice, good use of the theme and good game mechanic. Would love to see more. Great job!

Baldaquin 6 - Beyond the window by Marcellus 2015-04-20T14:03:00

I liked the concept, though it could be easier to get the angels to drop stuff where I need it. Good use of the theme.

Bar Brawler by Issacchaos 2015-04-22T00:50:00

Pretty awesome. I loved how everything could be used as a weapon, even the pool tables. Great job!

GraviSniper by unitycoder_com 2015-04-22T19:32:00

Nice trajectory manipulation game. It took me a while to notice that you can adjust the firing angle of the gun, then that made it a lot easier. Great job!

Coin Cannon by Lancelot Gao 2015-04-20T14:47:00

Great use of the theme. Fun, though the rule of never, ever missing makes the difficulty a bit punishing.

Retroflect by pkenney 2015-04-22T02:41:00

Good use of the theme, this was a lot of fun to play. Great job!

Ludicrous Battleaxes by muumeroinen 2015-04-22T11:38:00

Wow, this was pretty awesome. Great use of the theme, and great gameplay mechanics. I liked how the different enemies required different strategy, though I felt a little sorry for the poor box that spawned with zero axes.

Super Banana Bullet Hell by helekopeter 2015-04-20T14:43:00

Pretty fun, great use of the theme.

As for aiming suggestions, maybe have the aim follow the mouse cursor? I think that might be a lot easier.

What They Want to Hear by nknauth 2015-04-21T17:19:00

Pizza and chips for world peace!

Where Is Your Gun Now, Mr. Chekhov? by Mike Mezhenin 2015-04-24T19:02:00

Nice art style, unique hidden object game. Great job!

Shrimpworld by garat 2015-04-20T18:34:00

Nice use of voxel graphics. Any chance you used the tool from the ForgeQuest guys to do the models? I only ask because I personally know them and I think they would be delighted if the tool was being used for jams.

Toilet War by SzRaPnEL 2015-04-20T12:55:00

Pretty fun, my suggestion would be to lose the cooldowns and randomize the waves so that it's less about memorizing the pattern for each level and more about matching colors quickly.

Slaughter the to Lamb by SuperMsp10 2015-04-20T12:35:00

I also cannot figure out the ladders - running start you say, but even with a full screen-length running start dude just stops partway up. I made it up the first ladder once with a running start and a jump.

Blockman & Tuna by ninjascript 2015-04-23T16:58:00

Also got stuck after opening either can. Good start, anyways.

Words Are My Weapons by Adam Gould 2015-04-20T18:00:00

Cool little maze game. I loved the audio for the command words. Nice job on the platforming aspect, it was solid.

keyTD by foolmoron 2015-04-20T23:51:00

Very well done! I thought I was the king for a while, then level 38 happened...

Rustinator by dusho 2015-04-23T17:22:00

Lol, blew myself up with an ignit barrel off of a chain reaction from a kill. Lots of fun, great job.

NEG [controller req] by JoshDBB 2015-04-21T23:06:00

I have a controller, but only the left analog seems to be working in this game. It's an old USB Thrustmaster so nothing exotic.

iRevolution by Suvidriel 2015-04-20T13:09:00

Very interesting take on "Tower Defense", not actually defending a tower but a moving mob of supporters instead. I really liked it.

Maggie by Bergara 2015-04-22T01:32:00

Such as simple yet effective mechanic, great job. I kept trying to abuse it by collecting up a ton of platforms, but I usually ended up knocking myself into a hole doing so and was forced to do things the proper way. Great job!

The Fast and the Frankfurter by KittyMac 2015-04-20T13:45:00

For some reason, I can't see the streets - I can see houses, trees, turnips, my truck, and other cars wanting hot dogs, but the background is completely black.

Using Unity Web Player version.

attack/defense by wesley.laferriere 2015-04-21T01:28:00

Loved the Seuss-like rhyme to start it all off. Is there a win condition?

Two Scoops by Feyd_Rautha 2015-04-23T22:29:00

I love when the little peoples cheer after I die. Great job!

Haters Gonna Love by Floko 2015-04-20T16:14:00

"eyepads", lol. Great job. The awesomeness was indeed awesome.

Roombacalypse by lucidsheep 2015-04-22T19:56:00

Very fun! Artwork was well done, and great use of the them. Nice job!

Scary Rocks by Pat Kemp 2015-04-24T20:12:00

Pretty awesome, loved the mechanics of turning the asteroids against each other. Great job!

Paper Freedom by SpartanIceCream 2015-04-20T22:36:00

That has to be the most zen dogfight I have ever flown. Awesome job with the graphics, too. Lots of fun!

Consplay by andrewjoy 2015-04-22T02:51:00

Hilarious and a lot of fun to play. Great job!

Nerd Nightmare by Stechas 2015-04-20T15:50:00

Very nicely done, though I was dying for some zeroes, and maybe the ability to merge 2 demons into a 2-digit number. Great use of the theme.

Armory of W.A.T. by dallonf 2015-04-22T14:59:00

Pretty fun and interesting. At first I thought the aiming was not working right, but then I figured it out. Great job!

99 problems (and a bitch is one) by nassi 2015-04-22T17:22:00

This is by far the raunchiest LD I have seen yet. Very interesting gameplay "mechanics". Great job!

Shield of Light by rmc 2015-04-22T18:42:00

very cool game mechanic, one of the best light-based games I've seen in this event. Great job!

Cube Invaders 32 by cachila4408 2015-04-20T20:49:00

Good mashup, though the web controls were also weird for me. I had to reload it and double-fullscreen before it finally worked.

Shadow Stalker by morokiane 2015-04-22T02:04:00

Loved the art style and the effects. Great job!

Propaganda Defence by scorched 2015-04-20T16:36:00

Fun little tower defense game, nice job. There does seem to be a bit of a bug where mobs get stuck behind buildings, so early on one needs to be careful to not end up in a situation with no money and one of these stuck mobs or it's game reset. It's not really an issue later in the game once you have more money.

Eurovision: world domination through the power of song by Tijn 2015-04-20T19:08:00

Wow, that's a lot of impressive audio there. Great job!

Sticks and Stones by adsilcott 2015-04-24T19:56:00

Very mellow, yet fun. Great job!

Eye in the Sky by OnePixelMonster 2015-04-24T17:08:00

Very unique, and good use of the theme. Great job!

Green and Blue by Jacob Eriksson 2015-04-20T15:21:00

You are a brave soul for using the Unity WebGL compiler. Nice job.

Ghost Captor Sakura by Dixbit 2015-04-23T17:03:00

Good use of the theme, and very interesting concept. It would have been cool to see the pictures that I took through the game.

SHEEP MANIA by SadSmile 2015-04-21T16:50:00

Nice artwork, though the game kicks my butt in about 15 seconds.

Unconventional Cowfare by uber 2015-04-22T00:12:00

This was a lot of laughs! Great job.

Mighty Gravity by hmightypirate 2015-04-23T20:08:00

Lots of fun. Love the gameplay mechanic. At first I thought that the bright red ones were going to explode and take a bunch out, maybe that's an idea for a new type of alien.

Just my own two cents by NekuSoul 2015-04-20T15:38:00

Loved it. I feel like you're just getting started with this one.

Sten the Keyboard Warrior by Peatuno 2015-04-23T19:55:00

This was a lot of fun. At first I ran out of energy and was like, "oh, crap", but then I realized I could go back inside and buy more and upgrade. I wanted more when it ended.

Censored by jeremyfa 2015-04-22T12:16:00

Great work. I like how sometimes I had to deal with a blank piece of paper right between two censored ones. Nice crumpled paper model as well.

Sugar Lake Chronicles by ProgrammerSteve 2015-04-24T03:30:00

Nice graphics, loved the art style. Great job!

Grannihilator by StabAlarash 2015-04-20T22:39:00

The load time was very slow for the web version, but it was well worth it! The graphics were awesome, and zooming around the yard with granny and her umbrella was a lot of fun. Great job!

Sylvam Opacam by cyand1317 2015-04-24T16:13:00

Kept me entertained for a while, I did finally escape the Dark Forest on my 4th attempt. Nice job!

TANKED by OrangeSpikyGames 2015-04-24T20:22:00

Very fun, some very meaningful powerup choices through the game. Great job!

Bunny Attack by texdata 2015-04-20T15:55:00

A MineSweepEars Island by Dhim 2015-04-22T19:39:00

Does not seem to be working for me. The island comes up, there is a number in the center hex, but I can't interact with anything.

Space Wizard by Kihira 2015-04-21T01:20:00

Cool concept, great job. F1 to list attacks did not seem to work for me, though.

Hunger King by mentatzoe 2015-04-22T11:18:00

Very nice, I'm been surprised that more people didn't use food as their unconventional weapon.

Rabbit Escape by Tim C 2015-04-20T19:34:00

Well done 3D world - very nice graphics. Great job!

Zombinball by PanKamil 2015-04-24T17:38:00

Good use of the theme, this was a lot of fun. Great job!

Food War! by djosef 2015-04-22T18:46:00

Nice graphics, great job!

Tickle Ninja by crazyninjamofo 2015-04-22T19:49:00

Pretty funny, great use of the theme. Nice visual style on the characters.

The Cleansing of Floaro's Tomb by Hopscotch 2015-04-23T23:08:00

Nice artwork, and interesting game mechanics. I did manage to break it a bit: I found that if I quarantined two mummies off to one side, no more would spawn and my workers could freely and safely move about indefinitely. Other than that, though, it was a very fun game.

Watchman by Supr 2015-04-21T22:58:00

Nice graphics, interesting level layout. Great job!

Burd Turd by thumbgarden 2015-04-20T17:26:00

Interesting use of the theme. Nice job!

Last MEOW by Fichindo 2015-04-23T20:31:00

Very fun. Great use of the theme!

Class Clown by impossibleleaf 2015-04-24T01:09:00

Steerable bananas FTW. Great use of the theme, nice job!

Mugslinger by IDidGame 2015-04-24T17:47:00

Great use of the theme, nice job!

Good's Out by SweatshopDev 2015-04-22T20:20:00

Lots of fun, pushing the crates around did seem to be the way to go. Liked the artwork, it's a shame I can't rate this entry on it.

The Towel Club by team_towel 2015-04-20T19:24:00

Surprisingly this is the second most shocking game I've played so far this LD. Any other LD it would have been hands down the most shocking. Anyway, great job, hilarious.

The Mighty Night of the Spooky Evil by HeskHwis 2015-04-22T02:30:00

Pretty funny story and weapons. Great job!

Worth the sacrifice by zywaa 2015-04-22T18:51:00

Nothing like throwing your cohorts under the bus... I mean boulder! Lots of fun, great art style. Nice job!

SolSurvivor by Blobo 2015-04-22T21:32:00

Great concept, though it is tough to manage all of those planets with just one mouse. Loved the music and the gameplay. Nice job!

Bullet Time by BulletsArePeopleToo 2015-04-21T01:34:00

Fun turnabout with bullets firing humans. Nice level graphics. Great job!

Disaster Theatre by 12 Pechás Of Souls 2015-04-24T20:04:00

Very fun, loved running between the different productions and swapping the scripts around. Great artwork, too. Nice job!

Fish SLAP: Quest for the Princess Fish by Troll Games 2015-04-23T22:57:00

Lol! Great use of the theme, and awesome mechanic. I loved the multi-target aspect of most enemies. Great job!

A Good Tunnel Is Hard To Dig by Draknek 2015-04-22T11:26:00

Nice puzzle game, and rather challenging. I'd probably be better at it if I understood more of the rules of what exactly causes the cave ins. Great job!

Chaos Tomb by Dietrich Epp 2015-04-23T18:56:00

The various weapons were great, and the music had a real Metroid feel. Great job!

Out of Bullets by haveric 2015-04-24T03:14:00

What, no kitchen sinks to jettison? Just kidding. Lots of fun, great use of the theme. Nice job.

LD35 — Shapeshift

Solid Shape, and the shape of things to come. by McBeef 2016-04-27T20:56:00

Good parody, and nice puzzle game to boot. Great job!

OnPoint by purrpurr 2016-04-20T01:11:00

When it started having me combine shapes, my mind was blown. Great job, awesome puzzle game.

Balthazar The Shapeshifting Wizard by PyroSneak 2016-04-26T15:42:00

The first time I tried to play, I got stuck in the first level after the tutorial - I took the path that led to the water area first, and could not backtrack to get the key that I needed. Second play, completed successfully.

Overall, nice job!

Elements guide me by Erkberg 2016-04-26T11:45:00

Cool platformer. I figured I was supposed to do the last bullet obstacle with the water power, but found it easier with just air power, timing, and luck.

Great job!

Shape Shifters by Bruno Massa 2016-04-27T18:43:00

Brilliant adaptation of chess and beautiful graphics. Great job!

Galaxy Shift by KamikaziUk 2016-04-18T11:41:00

We love Katamari, and we love your game! <3

The Ragdoll Show by Ken Ichi 2016-04-18T13:19:00

I was able to succeed at most of the shapes at least once, except for the LD35 shape. Very pretty environment for a compo game. Well done.

If I were to take this further, one of the first things I would do is make the ragdoll's body parts break away and fly off when they are hit.

MetamorphBot by TheCams 2016-04-26T19:22:00

Great use of the theme and awesome graphics. A fun little puzzle game. Great job!

Shape Assault by thomz12 2016-04-18T10:46:00

Very nice, I really liked the style of the health bar. Good design for the weapons for each shape.

Snip-Snip Snooker by Chris M 2016-04-27T15:25:00

Fun, innovative game, despite the glitches. A good start for something bigger. Great job!

Hunters and Hunted by Jadernak 2016-04-20T00:24:00

Great graphics, mood, and music! Had fun playing.

Random Rally Rodeo by Lee1121 2016-04-18T11:11:00

I liked the differences between the three cars. Takes me back to my autocrossing days. Great job!

GeoShifter by MrMordem 2016-04-27T19:43:00

Well, it was fun making a big ball pit for the robot to jump into. :-)

Wizard of Shapes by puppetmaster 2016-04-26T18:44:00

Loved it! A lot of fun. Great job!

Pickles, Nachos, Onion Rings by looPing 2016-04-26T19:38:00

Great job introducing the mechanics. Overall a well done runner.

Shift-Faced by tweedle 2016-04-20T00:07:00

Was just getting into it (2nd encounter) and got an error "LaffyTaffy.exe stopped working". I don't think it's RAM, I've got like 15GB of those.

Pasowix's Magical Shapeshifting Workshop by glaze_96 2016-04-18T13:43:00

"STOP!"
"What?"
"Hammer Time!"

Dude I nearly spit out my drink! Some good wordplay and off-guard humor there.

Why no rating for fun? I had fun!

ShapeShift_Platformer by stalker1586 2016-04-27T19:25:00

Really liked the musical changes when transforming. Great job!

Paint Bug by ciaodavinci 2016-04-26T10:59:00

High points for mood - this is a neat little painting game. I liked how there was a day/night cycle that affected somewhat what tools were available.

VoodoGoat by ring 2016-04-18T14:46:00

Very nice. I liked the ritual effects. Kind of tough to find a hiding spot at times.

Hedron Collider by ProgrammerSteve 2016-04-20T03:58:00

Great graphics and audio. Very well put together. Nice job!

LabRadDog by MoreRPG Team 2016-04-26T12:21:00

like the shader effects and some of the different, subtle powers of the forms (dogs being able to locate food for instance). Needs a sound effect or something when food or a new form is collected; I got the flea form and didn't even realize it.

Ship Shape by TEAM-TIGER 2016-04-28T02:44:00

Excellent graphics and sound, and one of the best games I've seen this compo. Great job!

SPACEPANTS by kallotec 2016-04-26T11:05:00

+1 for pants (present or not).

JaJa's Bizarre Transformer by reckhou 2016-04-20T03:46:00

Intense... Bizarre... Stayed for the end... great job, congrats!

H2Olympics by MacDocBros 2016-04-18T11:55:00

Nice simple concept, cute animations on the water blocks. The ice form did not seem to be needed to clear any obstacles though, or I was really lucky.

I read the note about needing 1024x640 resolution, that was not an option in the resolution dropdown, but it seemed to run in 1024x768 just fine.

I am Ned and I am a Hippo by Jun & Pate 2016-04-20T02:19:00

Very funny, great job!

Click Faggot by CJKinni 2016-04-18T11:28:00

Wow, good writing. Kept me engaged through the whole story.

Chrysalide by Pierre 2016-04-18T16:34:00

Great graphics and sound, very nice job!

Shape Wars by DRGY 2016-04-26T15:58:00

Liked the mission-based take on this. Great job!

SheepShift by nyang888 2016-04-26T18:28:00

Very funny! Great job!

'Pillars of Life by Casey Jordan 2016-04-26T13:25:00

Wow, surprisingly in-depth gameplay for such a simple game. Excellent job!

UNDERCOVER by FenyesJ 2016-04-18T13:59:00

Nice voxel graphic environment, would love to see this expanded upon.

Shifty Ninja by ConorOD 2016-04-26T20:04:00

lol, pretty funny shapeshift forms for a ninja. Very interesting. Great job!

LotsOfShapes by enigmakmr 2016-04-26T19:12:00

This has the beginnings of a really good game. With some tuning, it would be really awesome. Great job!

Cuddle Fish by zaywolfe 2016-04-20T00:49:00

Very well done. Reminds me of Wii titles like Wario Ware. Lots of crunch. Great job!

Shape Shift by staircase27 2016-04-18T13:03:00

Good use of the theme, though like others I had a bit of trouble understanding the mechanics. Even still I managed to clear a good number of shapes. I felt like I almost had it but was missing one or two critical pieces of information.

Golden Rush by image/31 2016-04-26T15:29:00

Very nice with the shifting level layout! Brutal at times, but a lot of fun. Great job!

PsychoShift by Ratmena 2016-04-18T14:59:00

Nice graphics and music, great job!

AACTMPAAMF (An Alien came to my party and ate my friends) by NuberuGames 2016-04-26T15:01:00

Great graphics, nice how the special powers let you flow from one human to the next. Great job!

Equalize by OU GDA 2016-04-20T00:56:00

Nice balance of power concept, a lot of fun.

I think I stumbled across a bit of an exploit, not too bad but it does kick down the difficulty quite a bit. Seems an easy way to play for a long time is to eliminate all of one shape, become that eliminated shape, and then you can just maintain the balance between the two remaining shapes without ever having to changing form again.

I'd recommend not allowing the player to become/remain in the form of an eliminated shape.

Isometric Epilepsy by Isometric Epilepsy 2016-04-26T20:23:00

It's like M.C. Escher went out clubbing or something. Great job!
