LD27 — 10 Seconds

Descent Alpha by myachin 2013-08-27T00:54:00

An in my opinion frustrating 'game'. In the sidescroller part of the game you can only complete the last 2 planets if you have a lot of luck, because as far as I could tell there is no way to aim your weapon. The controls in that part of the game also feel unresponsive, which adds to the frustration (when I press 'jump', I would like to actually jump! No run into those annoying purple stars).

The audio and visuals are OK-ish. I don't like the art style but at least there IS an art style.

Ninja Words by PabloAlexandre31 2013-08-27T01:24:00

This doesn't seem to be working (for me). When I click the link I only get a blank page.

Short Circuit by Nick Cash 2013-08-29T23:40:00

Way too chaotic for my taste, so I naturally didn't get far, but it's a nice game to play as a break. The sprites are pretty nice!

You Missed A Spot by john_conder9 2013-08-27T01:23:00

Like Diogo Muller said, I only found out how to play the game after 'losing' the first time. Overall the game is amazingly enough quite entertaining despite the simple gameplay mechanic.

Ten Seconds Second by soulrot 2013-08-27T09:02:00

Feysoura: selecting "fullscreen mode" on the first right click prevents getting more of those context-menus. At least it did for us :/

:Fast :Food! by LPGhatguy 2013-08-27T01:52:00

'Cute' little timing-based game. I especially like the music ;)

Meowfinity and Beyond by Cryovat 2013-08-29T15:40:00

The 'trigger' for the red buttons seem to be a bit larger than the button itself, which is annoying. Other than that this is definitely a nice game! (The jumping and lack of sound are already mentioned)

Reload by zn01wr 2013-08-29T19:16:00

The last level is pretty frustrating because of the fact that I kept wasting my double jumps by getting stuck to the level. I did manage to complete it after quite a few retries though. Nice game, looks great!

Bomb Bot by ArcaneTower 2013-08-29T16:51:00

Agreed with Mironix, there is too much time to fit the theme! :P
I did get an impossible to solve level after a few replays, I just couldn't possible hit one of the 'detonators' :(
Oh, and a webversion would've been nice. Shouldn't take too much effort since it's made using Unity.

Dionysus by Back to Browse Entries 2013-08-29T17:42:00

Maybe a stupid question but.. how do I start the game? What program do I need? Because I don't see an .exe file.

THE WHiTE ROOM by CScribes 2013-08-29T15:25:00

I'm still getting an exception after entering the door. Did you already ahve an updated version available?

sC10N by gungnirgamedev 2013-08-29T17:13:00

Your links don't seem to be working.

Orms by andrewcdieppa 2013-08-29T16:07:00

I ended up with the 'scenes' being empty except for some targets outside my screen, of which I could only see the light. Also there doesn't seem to be a goal or score?

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Deep Diver by Valandre 2014-04-30T17:49:00

A simple concept, but it looks great with fitting music (although the loop became annoying after a while) and is fun to play. The difficulty was, in my opinion, well done (I even Game Over-ed at some point)!

Hot Diggity by DragonXVI 2014-04-29T08:51:00

We have been playing this for 3 days and we keep coming back! Addictive and very fun game. Reminds me a lot of the game Captain Forever!

Surf Ace by soulrot 2014-04-29T13:38:00

@Ragzouken - The menu should be working with the arrow keys. If they still didn't work after a restart of the game then.. not sure what the problem could be :/ Will check if it can be reproduced and if there is a solution.

Surf Ace by soulrot 2014-04-30T15:27:00

@demonshanker2: No, nothing is supposed to happen with waves. We did have some wave-related stuff planned but we did not have enough time to implement them.

PORTHOLE by Ragzouken 2014-04-28T23:54:00

To be honest I am not sure where the 'gameplay' is in this game? And what exactly do the buttons do?

Nice atmosphere, graphics and fitting music though.

Dream of Depth by Cirrial 2014-04-29T15:54:00

Does not really feel like a fully finished game (there seem to be signs you had more planned?), but it was still fun to play and it sure does have potential!

Something Fishy by AnnaGavaldaKedavra 2014-04-30T16:12:00

I have said this before in other comments at other games: I don't think there is much actual 'gameplay' in this game, which is a shame. The music, graphics mood and humour are nice though! The controls felt smooth as well.

Magma by DMinsky 2014-04-28T22:38:00

A relatively simpel concept, but a lot of fun to play nonetheless. Visually pleasing and the music fits the game very well!

Surf Ace Splashdown by Dominator_101 2014-04-28T22:30:00

Enjoyable and humorous little game. The music is very.. soothing :D

Balancitos by NickZangus 2014-05-01T14:26:00

Very simple concept, yet a lot of fun. The art style/graphics are very nice and the sound effects are fun to listen to! The game becomes rather difficult (it seems ot increase in difficulty?), but that's how I like my games :)

Chacket Valleyparker: DRILL BUNNY by stvr 2014-04-29T15:38:00

The game looks, 'hears' and feels nice. It is not very challenging, however. I felt like I could go on and on without ever overheating the drill.

The Ice Pond by Vytheros 2014-04-28T21:30:00

To be honest I had no idea what to do. After starting the game (typing "start") I typed all commands from the help, in all combinations I could possibly think of, but the only thing not giving me a "not a valid command" was typing "inventory" :/

the vole beneath by mcapraro 2014-05-03T13:59:00

Others have said it before, but this could make a fun game if it were to be expanded!

Beneath the Rain by CruelMotivator 2014-04-29T09:00:00

When almost leaving the first area after the area with Big Company Inc. my browser (thus the game) keeps slowing down until it is non-responsive.

Kamikaze Snail: They see me sliding, they hatin'! by kalth.streil 2014-04-29T09:20:00

Quite fun, but I really disliked the movement controls. Easy to get stuck behind level 'geometry' and hard to quickly dodge incoming.. pain.

Kamikaze Snail: They see me sliding, they hatin'! by kalth.streil 2014-04-29T14:22:00

I got 'stuck' in the labyrinth-part. Not stuck in a game-breaking way, but I hugged the wall while I needed to get away quickly (which I couldn't due to the physics-delay), so it felt like being stuck. I personally just didn't like the feel of it :P
I didn't notice I could destroy shurikens! Should make things easier.

SUPER LANDSHARK MISSILE ATTACK! by Tuism 2014-05-01T14:38:00

That was quite fun to play, although the bullettime felt more like framerate drops instead of smooth and awesome bullettime :( Swimming up the walls also made my camera bug out, it went through the 'floor'/ceiling and had some trouble with the rotation.
Oh, and an exit button would have been nice ;)

Beneath The Surface by adamwoolridge 2014-05-01T14:21:00

I like it. During the first day of development I saw your posts and thought "how is that going to be a fun game?", but it turned out pretty well! Looks fancy and is in the last levels pretty challenging.

Flipper by zed0 2014-04-30T17:05:00

Relaxing little game, of course more tricks would have been nice as said before.

I did have some trouble with the falling speed suddenly being a lot faster when close to the water, and the animation seemed to indicate I was diving in face-down while it was actually belly-down when releasing the keys.

Kraken Beneath by DreamTitan 2014-04-29T15:30:00

You say it is 'very unfinished', but what part IS finished? The only thing I can do is shoot arrows at something coming towards me, without any effect besides a useless knockback? And when the kraken is passed me, nothing happens? Or am I missing something?

The Search For Sting's Desert Rose Beneath The Surface (feat. Bananas) by Quady14 2014-04-30T17:52:00

I hate to be an ass, but.. Although I had to laugh when I saw the bananaguy, I still think this was a waste of time :(

Alien Lobotomy by Soup With Bits 2014-04-28T22:51:00

Rather confusing at first, but as soon as you get the hang of it, it is an interesting game. I seemed unable to solve a puzzle because it required a value over 50 while the only two positive values on the screen where 6 and 8.

Toxic Below by dertom 2014-04-30T15:50:00

A quite challending and fun game, although my right arm thinks different (somehow steering with the mouse made my arm hurt after a while o_0).

At some point the "toxic collected" counter gave a value of 199.99999/200 so I was afraid I had to restart the level, but fortunately it still registered as 200/200!

Subway Tycoon by metjm 2014-04-29T16:53:00

While I appreciate the quality of the application, I wouldn't say it is all that much of a game. I did enjoy my time in the game and the building system works rather well and intuitive, but in the end the gameplay is not very challenging at all. You place a few tubes and you wait (or place more tubes). Still, nice work! :)

LD33 — You are the Monster

Mega Mall Lawyer by Hefaistus 2015-08-25T18:33:00

The introduction and help are nicely written. The game itself sounded interesting, and probably could be pretty cool had it been a bit more polished with better art.
As it is now, even when taking into consideration the fact that it's a 72h game, it's not that fun or impressive. Too much button clicking and too little feedback on your actions (animations and/or sounds probably would have helped a lot).
I like the idea though!
