LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

HamsterX by UntitledQ 2015-12-15T04:00:00

Good Fun!

Draygon Habitat by Gravity Games 2015-12-15T20:54:00

The IQ and Agility textures are switched.

Berry Thorny by KilledByAPixel 2015-12-15T07:40:00

Looked good but it lagged a bit

Fat Cat by Charging Llama 2015-12-15T06:53:00

Made it to 60 by mash clicking eat.

Crusader Climber Quest 64 by SSJMetroid 2015-12-15T07:13:00

Hard to control but a lot of fun.

Rockets Hate the Moon by nodens 2015-12-15T08:04:00

10/10 can confirm, hate moon.

Rope Swing by GoldPlatedXplodingFist 2015-12-15T07:49:00

The game goes way faster than it should and I die almost instantly.

SnowBall Crash by AdamAlexander 2015-12-15T06:27:00

Its a fun game but I feel it could use more instruction in the beginning of the level. Epic bunny smashing though.

Multi-Snake-Arcade by JonathonDHart 2015-12-15T21:19:00

Fun game. Needs a restart button though.

LD35 — Shapeshift

Spear by someone 2016-04-22T02:52:00

The graphics are cool. That is an art style I can respect! The jump did not help much because you did not jump high enough to avoid things.

Legend of Zeus: Love & Loaf by atraxgames 2016-04-22T02:37:00

Art was great and it ran well. Sometimes it was hard to tell when you were going to get caught.

Cherokid by EdoMiyamoto 2016-04-22T03:22:00

This game looked amazing and had a lot of great atmosphere. The combat was kind of a weak point for the game but i still did not want to stop playing. Great game!

Space Cows from Taurus by goffmog 2016-04-30T18:51:00

It looks like there was a lot of work put into level gen and aesthetics because it looked rely good. You turn way to fast. The turning works well on a controller but there is no support for the other buttons(I don't hold that against you, no one does controller support). Misspelled SpcaeCows. You can escape the level. All in all good game, i liked it!

Transformagician by HuvaaKoodia 2016-04-30T18:37:00

Loved the win animation!

Elemental Shaft by NIGIC 2016-04-20T04:06:00

The puzzles were cool but the background made it hard to play on some levels.

Turbo/Glide by rnlf 2016-04-22T03:02:00

Cool game! this is really hard.

Forest Spell by dusho 2016-04-22T03:17:00

Great use of the theme, took some time to figure out how everything worked and what attracted what. Overall good job!

Don't Wake up, Stay Dream! by tobia88 2016-04-22T03:24:00

Absolutely brilliant! Had a ton of fun!

John Wizard by 2Bit 2016-04-19T02:45:00

Cool Game! The core mechanic was a lot of fun.

buki buki! by cowboycolor 2016-04-19T03:04:00

I had a lot of trouble getting shooting to work. It feels like you have to wait a lot longer then the bar on the left.

Neon Level Switcher by theck 2016-04-22T02:54:00

Simple and well done! The speed ends up going faster than you can really react, but up until that point; very fun!

Sparrow & Flitt by Skruffye 2016-04-22T02:48:00

Very cool mechanic! Looks very nice also!

Elemental Warrior by Spag Head Games 2016-04-22T02:41:00

Great job overall, took a little bit to get the hang of it.

Claudia's Exit by ramza 2016-04-19T02:56:00

The flying up is a bit sickening.

Evotron by testzero 2016-04-22T02:27:00

The game levels were very good looking. Its unfortunate that you were unable to finish.

Bounds by Nervous Composers 2016-04-30T19:13:00

This is one of the coolest concepts I have seen so far. I don't think anyone wold complain if the death hit boxes were just a few pixels smaller.

Logger by forgiv3nplays 2016-04-22T02:34:00

Simple game with simple concept executed well! Good Job!

ElementHop by Ultoman 2016-04-22T02:46:00

Cool concept but there are a few problems with it. First of all it was kinda laggy on high settings. You are the same color as the platforms so you cant see your ball. Not a huge fan of the default keybinds a well. having to press 1-4 and spacebar to jump is hard.

Oh and as a side note you are going to want to zip your game. I had to download your source to play.

LD37 — One room

One Room by manax 2016-12-28T01:03:00

The game played pretty well and the physics was cool. I love the punch sound.

Ghostmine by blay09 2016-12-27T23:34:00

Very cool, and pretty fun! Good entry. Boss fight seemed a bit tough.

Lost Veil by Spencer Alves 2016-12-13T05:28:00

I was stumped on the night sky but I still got out of the room. If you walk outside and click the painting you can escape. Good atmosphere!

Room 007 by Lancelot Gao 2016-12-13T06:07:00

This game is great! Love the music.

I'm no shut-in by Junber 2016-12-28T00:56:00

This was a great entry. I really liked the story.

Tiny Escape by DMajor 2016-12-13T03:39:00

I was not able to make it past the guitar. The game looked pretty good.

Recoil by BUNN1E5 2016-12-13T06:12:00

The movement was very cool.

Huge & Cute by michidk 2016-12-13T02:49:00

If I had to give critical feed back I would say the controls are a bit weird once you get to the front of the level. That being said this is a fantastic entry, Looks great and plays well.

RoomZoom by TheSambassador 2016-12-13T05:32:00

It just sat on a skyline and did not run. Windows 10.

Budget Mortuary by comatomatoes 2016-12-28T01:07:00

This seems like a great game but it was very hard to play in browser. Something is strange with dragging.

Throne Room of the Merchant King by mike.cullingham 2016-12-27T23:47:00

Very cool! Had a few instances where someone would trade me one of the item I sold and got a good laugh. I really liked the concept behind this. Would love to see this if it was worked on as a real game!

The Infinity Prison by Multiplexor 2016-12-28T00:08:00

Amazing game!! Had a lot of fun playing through it quite a few times, can't believe how good it is for a compo!!

ShadowWall by Blobo 2016-12-27T23:44:00

I really like this concept. It seems to generate unwinnable levels sometimes but the game is still cool. I loved that the pause menu muffled the sound.

Sign by VersatileBox 2016-12-13T05:15:00

I don't understand but I liked it. Super cool mood.

Unwelcome by Louspirit 2016-12-28T00:01:00

Cool game, support call gave me a good laugh.

20 Seconds to Die by Squid 2016-12-13T06:05:00

*Added a google drive mirror for people having issues downloading

20 Seconds to Die by Squid 2016-12-16T00:45:00

*Uploaded a version with at least 20% less black screening

A Claustrophobic Nightmare by loveapplegames 2016-12-28T00:03:00

I love this game. The mechanics are super cool. The levels make a good puzzle.

Kitchen Defender Ants Attack! by KunoNoOni 2016-12-27T23:42:00

Fun simple game. Mouse wasn't locked into the window so that caused me to lose a few intense waves. Very much enjoyed, good job!

Professor Calloway's Room of Traps by squigglez 2016-12-27T23:36:00

Couldn't play since I don't have Game Maker Studio 2, looks like a cool game though!

Super Bad Room by murilo 2016-12-27T23:33:00

It played super well. The controls were very slick and it was hard to exploit the AI

Squiddy by Tribbs 2016-12-13T05:09:00

I approve.

Mr. Barbel VS Hell Vise by onixowl 2016-12-13T05:45:00

This game needs ramping difficulty. I got to 51 and let myself die due to hand cramps. That being said to played well and looked great.

Raise The Roof by CMLSC 2016-12-28T00:50:00

Pretty cool concept, maybe continue working on this project? Had a lot of fun trying to beat my previous scores.^

Bedroom Horrors by muzuka 2016-12-27T23:38:00

The game sounded good and looked good.

Escape from the Writers Library by ferranduran 2016-12-28T00:17:00

It looked good and sounded good. The mouse did not lock into the game when I was playing.

Jim is Moving Out! by stadoblech 2016-12-13T06:58:00

Fun game. Great Concept.

Garden Chamber by guckstift 2016-12-28T00:19:00

Creepy cats +1, cool concept.

Oh Dear Where Is My Waifu by Przekop 2016-12-27T23:53:00

Loved the design, music set the mood(so I shut off my lights), and had a lot of fun! Great job!

One dark room by darkdaragon77 2016-12-28T00:30:00

It is a bit slow and there is nothing stoping you from spamming attack. It is a cool game though.

Running Ninja by CrazY 2016-12-28T00:34:00

Died lots of times, was frustrating, loved every minute of it. Cool Design!

Dark Room by blackoptics8 2016-12-28T01:03:00

Love the art style, and has a cool concept!

Shrunken by oddityoverseer 2016-12-28T01:12:00

Great job on your first game! Very cool idea. Hope to see your game in the next LD!

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Leggy by aaronw 2017-12-06T22:05:29Z

This is a great use of the theme. I just with you respawned with only 2 legs. Great game.

LD42 — Running out of space

PistonBreak by Gipzo 2018-08-16T20:04:19Z

Simple but exciting. This is a great looking game too. Great entry.

Raise the sea by Erkberg 2018-08-29T20:18:02Z

Loved the Audio. Not enough junk is thrown at the edges.

Delivery Boi by JCMonkey 2018-08-14T05:58:47Z

This is a super stylish game. I love all the detail you were able to put in.

Stack Rush! by smirnov48 2018-08-29T19:51:57Z

I love the box clear effect

Kakapo by beta 2018-08-29T19:59:17Z

The invisible walls on the edge of the game are pretty annoying. I feel like they should be the same height all the way down. Visuals Looked great. Loved the menu transition.

Space Ninja by Bernhard 2018-08-29T20:09:23Z

This is great! Love the endless mode.

Space Opera by t-mw 2018-08-24T20:26:48Z

This is a really cool mechanic.

Hilbert's Hotel by player2point0 2018-08-29T20:38:41Z

This is a cool game once you figure out how it works.

Trash Flood by Tuscany 2018-08-13T18:47:08Z

This is a cool game, the dragging and placing feels good. Its a bit to hard to put trash in the third bin though.

Path Blocker by rzaba 2018-08-28T20:59:34Z

I beat it. Cool game! Sometimes blocks don't show up on turns.

Crowdy Planet by arche-san 2018-08-22T21:07:02Z

I think this is my favorite game so far

Space Shipping by RubixNoob13 2018-08-28T20:32:18Z

Even without refueling I the game felt good to play

Electric Sleep by uncannyvalley 2018-08-29T20:53:03Z

Do android sheep have electric sleep? Super cool aesthetic.

BOX IT! by Laminariy 2018-08-29T20:13:20Z

Good looking game. Its a frantic sort of fun!

Snake advanced by Joran 2018-08-28T19:50:37Z

I like the health mechanic.

LD44 — Your life is currency

Marvin by Avon 2019-05-19T21:48:52Z

Yeah, I got no sound to. Used the bug fixed version. Played really well, good job.

Hero town by alobker 2019-05-19T22:56:41Z

I like it. Seems like there is some weird consiquences of only letting one type of hero be on screen at once. Not a bad thing but it makes you plan around the walk time.

Special Steak by Nalozyc Shade 2019-05-19T23:20:05Z

I like the game. The minigames work well. I had a few points were no orders spawned for like 15-20 seconds

Tyrone Leinster's Debt Dream by Rob White 2019-05-19T22:11:55Z

Love that walk cycle

The Hostage by Jonathan Lorenz 2019-05-19T22:04:48Z

I liked the secret door in the back

Slime Sweeper by Nyamah 2019-05-19T21:42:30Z

The random levels need some work but its a cool concept for a puzzle

Soulbound by Dovakla 2019-05-19T23:30:04Z

Wow I really liked this game. It has a ton of style. Great entry!

Life of the Party by Madbarron 2019-05-19T21:38:48Z

I liked the use of the theme. Seems like you can win with only archer.

It hurts to move on by vjmunhoz 2019-05-19T21:31:23Z

Love the style. The game looks great.

utsvulten by ditto 2019-05-17T01:34:06Z

I don't understand. 5/5 in all categories.

LD46 — Keep it alive

Wayward by KingMatthew 2020-04-22T16:44:19Z

The attack and movement felt real good. Loved the animations. The wall climbing was a little hard to get use too with no animations and the platforms felt a little to far apart to use in combat. Looked good, played well. Good job!

The God Of Adventurers by Lucille Blumire 2020-04-22T16:20:09Z

Really interesting concept. It is a little challenging figuring out what all of the tiles do, especially with the different tiles with the same numbers. Nonetheless pretty enjoyable for a minimalist city builder It looked and sounded really good.

Bubble Story by Nefrace 2020-04-22T16:32:54Z

This is the Darksouls of bubble based gaming. It makes sense that the controls were a little floaty, you are a bubble after all, but the hitbox did seem just a little to big for your lack of control. Solid entry, hope you do make more levels for it.

Leafy Hero by Guilb 2020-04-22T17:15:13Z

Wow this is a pretty game. Took a little bit to figure out how to rotate the nodes. Waiting for endless mode!

Hextayin' Alive by alareo 2020-04-22T18:41:11Z

I really like this game. I would play a lot more of it but The feedback seems a little weird. When I lose I can still see some of what it says I don't have. Like I can still see I have people/viruses but the game still ends.

Honeycomb Empire by Axeliz 2020-04-23T19:30:29Z

Had a few things that did not work and when you summon army bees they spawn to far forward to protect your queen. Still real fun and seemed pretty well balanced.

Saving Iyla by Darkmax14 2020-04-22T17:50:02Z

Oh boy this game had a lot of bugs. Got stuck in things, had to redo levels because I did not get pickups, ended up off screen for some dialog. No wonder it had so many bugs though because wow this game had a lot of content. A few levels, some interesting challenges, terrifying ghost noises, and even a mini game. And to add to that, what a great art aesthetic. Your team had to have worked really hard on this. I thoroughly enjoyed it, bugs and all. Great job.

Unsplashed by yxmx_rsx 2020-04-22T18:19:20Z

Good looking game. The rules feel a little inconsistent, it is really hard to tell what is going to move first. Sometime I get pushed to the star first and collect it and sometimes the star moves away first and I dont.

Dozy Dungeon by Lesslwo 2020-04-22T17:01:48Z

First game I played stuck me in a level with two rooms and no exit. After restarting I was able to power through 6 levels feeling like my heart was going to stop at 600% consciousness. Surprisingly addictive game.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Magic Rocks by Avon 2018-04-25T23:02:33Z

I enjoyed this game. I think holding W should go forward to the camera not the player but that is a small issues. Good job!

MechaSnek by bluescrn 2018-04-27T21:50:47Z

This is fantastic. Such a great looking game!

Diorama by stefenism 2018-04-26T00:49:36Z

@stardynamic The theme was first person and 2D platformer. Working on playing some games, I just needed to sleep for 2 days first!

Diorama by stefenism 2018-04-29T18:18:27Z

@Dovakla @randomphantom It is done by raycasting from the camera back to the back wall and moving the player to the location of the raycast hit. It uses two raycasts in a frame, one under the characters feet and one in the direction the character is moving.

Doing it this way is probably the easiest to code and worked pretty well but comes with a lot of bugs by default. I made the levels so that most of the bugs would not happen but it limited my level design a bit. If I had to do it again I don't think I would do it this way but it seems like most options have there downsides.

TASball by fasterthanlime 2018-04-25T22:52:16Z

I am a big fan of idle games. This is a sweet concept.

Seagulls by shaw 2018-04-27T01:35:52Z

This game feels real good! It felt a bit too zoomed in though.

Blob Dungeon by Mikeliosus 2018-04-28T21:42:25Z

Great Game! What a stunning amount of content.

Pivit by travm 2018-04-25T23:09:47Z

The game plays very well despite missing a real goal. It looks great, it plays smooth and feels good to play. A great first entry.

Darkade by hatchet 2018-04-27T22:13:13Z

This game is great! It felt very complete for a Ludum Dare game.
