LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing (37)

Money Tree by vogon101 2015-12-22T00:06:00

I played this for nearly an hour. Please keep working on it!

Determinist Ball by Trizek35 2015-12-18T23:47:00

Really enjoyed this. If it weren't for the sudden increase in difficulty at the set of horizontal red bars, I would have kept going. Granted, I spent a good deal of time trying! I'd play a game like regularly for sure as a concentration task! Great job!

Avoid the Graters by petitpois 2015-12-18T19:42:00

Controls are... wonky. But love the concept all around. Very interesting mechanic to grow the carrots instead of jumping. Great job!

Robot Rapture by GameStudioLive 2015-12-18T19:38:00

The game went insanely fast and then crashed. Like, fast enough that I literally couldn't see anything. I'm running Windows 10 x64 Pro if that helps. I admired the screenshots, and wish to play!

Kill the Christmas Trees by rd127p77 2015-12-18T19:31:00

I think the comments have already covered everything both good and improvable. I say continue the development of the game, if not for anyone else, for yourself. See what you can make of a simple concept and run with it! Great job!

Line/Dash by Eingya 2015-12-16T04:36:00

If it had some bass heavy electronic music, I think that would have perfected this game. amazing! Very addictive!

Bubble Nibble by AriaMK 2015-12-16T03:31:00

Perfect theme fit. Unique. Sound was repetitive and mildly annoying (but so was mine so no harsh judgement placed). Had fun with it! Thanks.

Two buttons to save the city ! by LavWa 2015-12-16T03:25:00

Not sure how this fits the theme. And the lag between button presses is a bit irritating. However, I had fun with it and played it twice through. Haven't done that with any of the other games yet. So innovative and fun! Great work.

Invasion by AxeTheory 2015-12-16T03:15:00

Very entertaining. Love the concept. Could use a double-tap to boost mechanism. Very much complete. Great game!

Nia in Mushroom World by Alsatian Studio 2015-12-16T01:14:00

Graphics and audio are great. I really can't say much about the theme... This uses 4 button controls and the only growing I see is the mushroom. I do have a minor complaint about the escape key not exiting the game. That being said, the game is very well put together, and the concept feels uniform in all aspects. I feel like this was done well. Thank you!

Don't Press Them by CodeNMore 2015-12-15T22:10:00

Quite functional tower defense type of game. Maybe have the buttons reset after each wave? Or be able to build a structure that produces mechanics able to work on the buttons after having been pressed. Solid execution

Waffle Hunters by Mechamism 2015-12-15T20:14:00

Had to play in windowed mode due to the screen being partially cutoff. Also, fell down a pit and did not die. Just fell for eternity. Other than that, it was cute and funny. Overall amusing game. Keep up the good work!

EarthWard by luke 2015-12-15T20:03:00

Very entertaining, easy on the eyes, and wonderful to hear. Great execution.

An Exponential Problem by LastResortGames 2015-12-15T19:56:00

The concept of growth had more than one angle and I liked that. Very interesting and fun implementation. Maybe a splash radius for killing enemies would have been nice. Very difficult on a 4k screen. Still mildly difficult when adjusting the resolution down to 1080p

SnakeSnakeSnake by alexlemming 2015-12-15T19:43:00

I think this is the first 5-star rating I've given. Enough said. Bravo!

Let it grow by middenkwaaii 2015-12-15T19:40:00

Implement some concrete goal and I think you have yourself a solid mini game. Simple, but with purpose.

Hello Darkness by jcmonkey 2015-12-15T08:26:00

Fun, but a bit frustrating. Executed 2 button controls well. No growing? Just a tad fast and slightly smarter AI would have done wonders. The SFX were great ;p

I enjoyed it

World Grower - Growth of the civilization by rhebsgaard 2015-12-15T08:20:00

Fun, but headache inducing. I muted the volume and then just kept playing. Building, expanding, upgrading. Need something like this for the mobile! Great submission!

FLOW by Romixal 2015-12-15T08:07:00

This is so entirely, body-consumingly, deliciously, and excitingly relaxing! I am impressed! I didn't want to stop! Great job!

WONKS by moltanem2000 2015-12-15T07:57:00

Audio and concept is spot on. I wish you had more time on this. Very promising! I say keep working on it beyond the jam. Love the atmosphere.

Lunar Landing by Pietdagamer 2015-12-15T07:52:00

Love it. Great vibe! Wish there was more, but two buttons and all. Good job

Crusader Climber Quest 64 by SSJMetroid 2015-12-15T07:47:00

Rage Quit! Great game though. I had an issue where I lost and had to restart the executable. Every time a new round would load, I would auto lose. After that, I had some addictive fun. Fits themes well, has fun graphics, enjoyable audio, and all around fun vibe! Thanks!

Super Santaur by tweedle 2015-12-15T07:28:00

Wonderful graphics and audio. Presents an urgency but with a light-hearted aesthetic. A few tweaks and you have an excellent mini-game. More time to explain controls between the cutscene and the game. Speaking of, a cutscene? A POLISHED cutscene? in a JAM? Great job!

Attack In The Mushroom Kingdom by Monochrome Bears 2015-12-15T07:11:00

Not sure if I was doing it right. The mushroom would grow, but the left shift key didn't do anything as far as I could see. Great fit for the theme though.

Centi-Snake by utoxin 2015-12-15T07:06:00

I'm so happy with the abundance of retro-feel going on this Ludum Dare. Great fusion of two classics. You nailed the themes on the head. Audio is a bit irritating, but what can you do with such limited time. I know if it wasn't for sfxr, I wouldn't have had anything in my entry. Couldn't finish music in time myself. So I'm not criticizing. A jingle in the beginning would be great in this (think: Pacman). Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it!

NanoBit by Weeping Rupee 2015-12-15T07:00:00

Growing is bad. Love it! Music was nice. Graphics were great. Innovative. Challenging as hell! Ease up on the beginning and offer a more subtle increase in difficulty and you may have a game worth developing further. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for submitting.

Electric by Madsj 2015-12-15T06:54:00

Loved the retro feel. A bit too challenging. Great two button controls. Wonderful audio. Thanks for the submission!

Tower to the Stars by ianh 2015-12-15T06:49:00

So far this seems to be the most complete game on here. My favorite interpretation of the themes so far. Addictive in a Flappy Bird sort of way. I really enjoyed it, thanks!

Surface by Porcus_Pie 2015-12-15T06:42:00

Really liked the concept. As has been said, a bit buggy. Fix those and polish up and you may have a long-term project worth pursuing! Great job!

You and your parasite by local minimum 2015-12-15T06:38:00

This has by far been the most interesting entry I've played so far. Not sure what to make of it, but it is extremely creative and I love the feel of it. Thanks for sharing!

Tanks for Playing by ketura 2015-12-15T05:15:00

Its nearly unplayable with the way the turret spins. Good concept, but the controls are wonky. Maybe next time use one button to manually rotate the turret. or both buttons and pressed together to fire. Great job finishing and meeting the deadline. Not an easy task!

The Dark Knight March by abuzreq 2015-12-15T05:11:00

You need to attach the data folder with the exe file. Can't play the game. Will check back later

Aggravation Cubes by Keith Stellyes 2015-12-15T05:06:00

SOO HARD! But innovative! No growing?

push your button then punch by 525 2015-12-15T04:57:00

Funny. Doesn't fit theme.

Shaving Day : The Shave After Tomorrow by gloim 2015-12-15T04:55:00

Loved the concept. Great interpretation of the themes. Not sure why this is a quarter of a gigabyte for such a simple game. At least its not an installer! The shaver lags behind the mouse a bit which can be annoying. Could polish this into a decent mini-game though!

Munch - The Friendly Environmentalist Monster by VitasaMode 2015-12-15T03:32:00

I really enjoyed the premise. Not many game in the jams with a solid plot. Funny as well. Two button controls is done well, but I don't think you did growing. Correct me if I'm wrong. I know that was a curve ball, and we didn't have to use both themes, but that is my only complaint. So really, again, excellent job!

Platforms (Two Button Controls) by markoburzan27 2015-12-15T03:20:00

No real challenge. That's okay given the time it was developed in. The placement of objects in levels felt very erratic, though. Seemed random. Good job on having a completed game! That's no easy task! :D
