LD26 — Minimalism

Mondrianism by Jezzamon 2013-05-01T06:01:00

Beautiful

Arco by lightspeedlucas 2013-04-29T04:18:00

Yay you used Tau!

Somniphobia by Topaz 2013-05-01T19:46:00

Those are some pretty freaky nightmares. The hand especially. I liked the use of parallax backgrounds, and the title screen was beautiful. The animation could have had some bending at the joints. The controls were a bit clunky. Here's a great video about "juice" that would have helped out the controls and animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg Ha ha, not enough time to do everything. Congratulations on finishing LD26!

Rock Paper RPG by Jan Marcano 2013-05-01T05:09:00

Innovative idea, ha ha.

XYZ by ataxkt 2013-04-30T08:39:00

Love all the effects including the depth of field, and vignetting. The mood is fantastic. Simple but challenging. Feels like a finished product.

Fragments of Him by Aceria 2013-05-01T21:44:00

Wow. Incredible story. Great music. Amazing modeling, mood, and visuals.

The removal sound was bad. I thought at first it was because it wasn't in the same key as the music. The sound seems to slide from Eb to A but the music was also often hanging around Eb. Maybe if the sound was a piano, or natural instrument instead of a sine wave it would be better. Or maybe if you change the sound to be in F minor like Chopin then it would work better.

Otherwise this is fantastic, so far the highest rated game I've played.

All Fall Down by lambomang 2013-05-01T19:21:00

Fantastic mood.

Bouncy Ball Extreme by Ray_Mickelino 2013-05-01T03:49:00

Very cool that you designed an unstuck instead of saying too bad you lost.

The Only Rocketeer by Monxcleyr Productions 2013-05-01T03:40:00

couldn't play, it wanted administrator permissions

Escape the Minimalism by klianc09 2013-05-01T03:02:00

Nice way to rebel against the theme, but still apply it. Great job making it feel much better in the non-minimal world. Even though I didn't mind the theme, the minimal world in your game is much worse.

Exit by Ludipe 2013-05-01T19:03:00

Amazing! One of my favorite LD games so far. Great portal-esque passive-aggressive humor.

I Know Nothing by MathiO 2013-05-01T19:13:00

Amazing mood, wonderful original music. Peaceful reflective explorer.

Aaron and Alex by smilingrob 2013-05-01T01:17:00

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. I fixed the crashing bug where if you run out of walkways and hit a wall it won't let you play anymore. This also fixes the problem of running out of walkways.

Don't forget to hit spacebar to jump. The end of the game is not the "Aaron Alex" typing puzzle. It's after the 8 arrow puzzle after "asynchronous".

The other bugs remain because they fall out of the LD crashfix rule, such as not being able to hear Alex's defense of "oh come on, you got to get into a good company"

(R,G,B) by KilledByAPixel 2013-05-01T04:30:00

Just amazing, great work.

Bladeless by kidevil 2013-05-01T18:52:00

I like how the menu doesn't exist and you just walk away from the title screen. Nice ambiance.

Polymorph by Crazi456 2013-05-01T05:34:00

Great work, the narration really added a lot to the mood.

Root Route! by netpro2k 2013-05-01T05:47:00

Cool game mechanics on yours. Felt like an old Nintendo game but with a fresh idea.

Cobalism by Woftles 2013-04-29T23:39:00

To distribute, include the dlls that are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Love\ inside the zip file that contains the exe you made. https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution

Cobalism by Woftles 2013-04-29T23:45:00

Also if anyone wants to just play the game, install Love (very quick) and then double click the cobalism.love file from the "All Platforms" link the developers made on this page.

Skware by tankete 2013-05-01T05:48:00

the love file link is broken :(

Skware by tankete 2013-05-01T06:31:00

Very innovative design. Nice work.

Qat Beats by CCARNDY 2013-05-01T02:31:00

Can't download, zippy share is full of viruses and social engineering hacks, every "download" button I clicked opened up a virus laden stream of spam windows. So I didn't rate. Please upload to something like dropbox or google drive.

Path by apenasisso 2013-04-29T03:07:00

very cool idea

Loki by francoisvn 2013-04-30T06:27:00

Wouldn't run on Windows 7 64 bit AMD. Command line error:

Uncaught exception - load.c(232) : Failed to load library std.ndll

There is a dll called std.dll but not one called std.ndll.

fightfightfight by bleatingheart 2013-04-29T20:23:00

Wow, so many 80 hour RPGs are basically this game if you remove the graphics, fighting mechanics, and story. It makes me feel like I wasted an epic amount of time playing JRPGs where I didn't find the story compelling. I like the three word repetition theme and the music is perfect for RPGs. The square format is fun and makes the game feel small. I was shocked to see the right click menu was so extensive. Awesome game!

The Side Factor by zazery 2013-05-01T02:45:00

Wow this is great. It's a complete game that people could really get into the strategy. The graphics are great. Toward the end I found out you can amplify your beam by shooting through your own guys. Amazing!

Rex Galaxy and the SpaceSkull by Ret44 2013-04-29T21:29:00

Now _that's_ a retro game.

LOOP by vandriver 2013-04-30T07:13:00

The controls were amazing. Landing on things felt very birdlike. Fantastic mood.

Another Day In The Life by QXD-me 2013-04-29T21:37:00

This would help tremendously with the controls:

void Update()
{
if (true == Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse0)) {
Screen.lockCursor = true;
}
if (true == Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Escape)) {
Screen.lockCursor = false;
Screen.showCursor = true;
}
}

Nice modeling!

LD28 — You Only Get One

Autonomia by smilingrob 2013-12-17T08:18:00

We finally fixed the major bugs, and the original is up also.

To That Sect by gamesbyangelina 2014-01-13T23:03:00

Angelina could use Screen.lockCursor, because mouselooking will make the cursor move outside the client bounds unless Screen.lockCursor == true. And of course, releasing the cursor when Escape is pressed.

Collector's Quest by Crigs 2013-12-17T08:13:00

Super creative with theme.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Sort the Court! by graebor 2015-12-14T21:20:00

I really like that you spent time having more variety instead of 'proper' animations. The variety is fantastic.
