LD19 — Discovery

Good Ship Exploration by Cosmologicon 2011-01-02T17:45:00

Good stuff, bonus points for top hat and monocle inclusion! ^^

Lost Races' Abandoned Artifact Recovery by eli 2010-12-23T18:54:00

I lost ;_: The alien noises were creepy.

Land Rover Discovery Challenge by Catmoo 2011-01-07T14:47:00

Top job for 48 hours work, reminded me of an older game I used to play ages ago :D

Mystery of Yrevoc Sid by the31 2011-01-07T14:58:00

I didn't find any enemies, but I had fun shooting out the walls!

Compact Discovery by Starspell 2010-12-20T15:23:00

yay, glad to see more space games ^^

Enemies are a bit fast and they form some sort of enemy ball if you stay still, would be cool if they swooped past you and the circled around, but overall really fun. Good work!

The Last Moments by Randati 2011-01-02T18:10:00

Nicely done! I played with my tablet hehe

Purgatory Area by ToadieTechnika 2011-01-02T17:47:00

Interesting control choice, and excellent use of audio.

Volatile by True Valhalla 2010-12-20T14:29:00

Really good work - congrats!

You must discover yourself. by Tyranus 2010-12-21T12:56:00

I like the mechanic :D Awesome stuff for only 8 hours!

Disco?Very! by Martoon 2010-12-21T13:48:00

haha, v.nice! Only criticism is that the '"' top right movement key is actually my '#' key on uk keyboard.

PSIENC - FOR THE GOOD by Squax 2010-12-20T02:20:00

In all the excitement I forgot to make a mac build. Sorry mac users - I ran out of time to test it on the macs ;_;

I also forgot to post some input instructions: Purely mouse based, left to activate and reuse the last activated tool, right mouse button to do a limited boost (although there is no indicator to let your know if it runs out). To move in a direction, move the cursor near the edges, to stop go near the middle/tool shelf. ^^

PSIENC - FOR THE GOOD by Squax 2010-12-20T14:17:00

Thanks for the comments :D I think in total I spent 26 hours working on the game, wish I could have dedicated a bit more time to it, but my weekend got in the way of the fun. The addition of normal mapped rocks, with the laser fire lighting would have looked purty I reckon.

Can't wait for LD20 XD!

PSIENC - FOR THE GOOD by Squax 2010-12-20T18:00:00

@increpare hehe yeah, I started the level generator stuff with like an hour before the deadline XD I meant to put in some bounds wrapping logic to keep the player in the region of the generated map, but the clock beat me.

...You Are A Duck! by KoryWazHere 2010-12-20T14:27:00

haha good stuff, is there a game over goal state? I can't seem to trigger it after collecting all the coins (unless I missed one)

Or Perish by dwrensha 2010-12-21T12:51:00

Exploring felt a bit slow, but nice overall.

FAILBOT by T8000 2011-01-02T17:53:00

Lovely art style, minus the collision problems it was pretty good :D

[Snapture] by Nugsy 2010-12-21T12:53:00

hehe super cute ^^ reminded me of pokemon snap also. I hope you'll continue it.

Penguin! by Meep 2010-12-23T18:45:00

Lovely game ^^ Some sounds/musics would have finished it off.

Researching String Theory by Zoltam 2010-12-23T18:47:00

Science is easy! I played it with a tablet ^^

Untitled Discovery by FuzzYspo0N 2010-12-22T12:40:00

Good stuff, rated highly for me in the humours! Presentation was slick.

Land of Fodnal by Benjamin 2011-01-07T15:04:00

Probably my favourite so far, good gameplay and fits theme very well.

PRIOR by krangGAMES 2010-12-20T15:03:00

Nice atmosphere. I had some trouble with the double jumping hover thing, but I think that was just my sticky space bar playing up ^^

Fun++

Discoverer by mitch 2010-12-22T12:29:00

Good work, I'm impressed with how much you have in it ^^ Ninja turrets freaked me out at first.

suspension of disbelief by plams 2010-12-23T18:41:00

Wow, great mechanic. I died on the second screen a lot though.

Space Pings! by idgar 2011-01-02T17:50:00

Ah that'll be why it won't run on my laptop either ;_;

Ghosts and Gemstones by _wdh 2011-01-07T14:30:00

Addictive gameplay, good job!

Cauldron of Doom! by Artix 2010-12-21T12:34:00

Loved the graphics, the photos worked out well. You must've had a lot of props lying around XD

Overall a really fun game, burned quite a bit of time playing it.

False Hope by daandruff 2010-12-21T13:54:00

Was going well until I broke it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7899005/LD19/Bugs/FalseHope.png

Happened a few times, Win7 64bit.

DEATHWISH by Alexbrainbox 2011-01-02T18:17:00

Haha death by the konami code - great stuff :D

Dodge and Collect! by Elegwa 2011-01-02T18:14:00

Audio and graphics are very good. Not too related to the theme though.

mindeeper by cce 2011-01-02T18:06:00

Highly fun! Had quite a few 'sessions' ^^

Caveman Eric: Dark Times by Bezza 2011-01-02T17:49:00

Yay, congrats on your first LD (mine too) I had fun playing.

Clarity by Hooka 2011-01-02T18:03:00

Nice idea to use optical illusions as gameplay, I couldn't get any of them to work though (unless I was doing something wrong).

SPACEMEAT DISCOVERY by AMT 2010-12-20T03:38:00

Felt really good to play, would be great on an ios device.

i love snow man by dock 2010-12-21T12:25:00

I love the subtle DOF effect on the snow. Good work on the character also.

Mother Robot by increpare 2010-12-20T19:19:00

Neat. I had a bit of trouble working out what to do at first, but after experimenting I managed to get it. Great stuff. Love the music as well.

Island Commander by Jerm 2010-12-23T18:37:00

Was a fun little time waster. Congrats on the new job :D

Grand Mystic Quest of Discovery by hulahulahest 2010-12-23T19:01:00

Amazing this was done in just 48 hours! Congrats! Would have been complete with some beeps and bloops.

Ominous by gsw 2011-01-02T17:58:00

Cool idea, the fade out time is far too fast though. Blink and you miss it fast.

Light Source by flashkick 2010-12-22T12:34:00

Nice! Hard, but nice! Would be cool if you had some sort of checkpoint system in place, to make death less painful. But that's just me being whiny cause I died a lot ^^

Eureka! Vaults of Knowledge by badlydrawnrod 2010-12-21T12:46:00

I <3 typing games, this one is cool!

Works on my macbook, but runs a little slowly, nearly all java applets do for some reason though.

Works great on windows in chrome.

Autoflotilla by Sparky 2010-12-21T13:39:00

Has great potential, would love to play a more complete version ^^

Quarters by Terry 2011-01-02T18:20:00

Awesome game, has a surprising amount of depth in the tactics you can use :D
