Forever Alone by QXD-me 2012-01-08T13:20:00

Very creepy.

Bunker by namrog84 2012-01-08T13:08:00

Are those parachute pants?

Lonely Robot's Kitten Quest by Beerman 2012-01-08T12:50:00

Awesome! Reminds me of Ant Attack.

I think shadows would go a long way to making it easier to know the player's position, especially when jumping. Nice use of audio.

Brains!!! by Leo 2012-01-08T11:55:00

Nice graphics, tight controls. I feel like powerups or something similar would really improve this.

Lava Kittens by Mjiig 2012-01-08T06:26:00

y = ax^2+bx+c

Haha, i've played worse things.

Erased by Falkreon 2012-01-08T05:50:00

man, this ran really fast :\

I managed to beat it, but i have no idea what i was doing in the battles... just mashing qwer.

Graphics are nice, though.

Alone in the park by iforce2d 2012-01-08T05:10:00

physicsy!

The graphics are pretty nice. I like what you did with the player's erm... form of locomotion.

It would be awesome with more content :(

You Don't Need To Be Alone by SusanTheCat 2012-01-08T05:02:00

Haha woah, this is a strange game!

I thought it was a very interesting take on the theme.

Robot Armageddon! by Raptor85 2012-01-08T03:59:00

A sadistic robotron!

This is difficult :(.

Robots getting stuck in walls!

I love the music.

A dark dream by 0x64 2012-01-08T03:08:00

confusing game...

I do like the light mechanic though. I think keyboard controls would be a nice touch.

The game, at least the LD entry, doesn't really do anything interesting with the mechanics, in my opinion. If the player had to navigate complex terrain (maybe with some platforming?) by lighting it up, that could go a long way towards creating a more interesting experience.

Lonely Star by Dietrich Epp 2012-01-08T02:52:00

Concept is /hilarious/, I love the graphics, and a really nice take on the theme.

Some stages are a bit frustrating.

Otherwise nice job!

Party Quest: Never Go It Alone by ScreamRawr 2012-01-08T02:40:00

Hah, this was pretty awesome!

Rock surely has the most depth of any rpg character concieved, well done there.

Gameplay was tight and satisfying.

I Hate Being Delicious by evilseanbot 2012-01-08T02:16:00

Way too short!

Some graphical bugs are apparent :(

I really like the idea, though, it'd be nice to see it more fleshed-out.

Space Station 1: No Program by kibertoad 2012-01-08T02:12:00

Hah, interesting and quite funny idea. Unfortunately the game crashed before any conclusion was reached...

Snow by bentosmile 2012-01-08T02:03:00

This gave me the jibblies.

Very nice!

(Reminds me a lot of Shadowgate, one of my favourite adventury games)

Glow by StarLight 2012-01-08T01:32:00

Jumping was kind of strange. The platforming was kind of frustrating at times... I think greater jump height would go a long way.

I liked the way the narrative unfolded.

Aurea Oceanus by bompo 2012-01-08T01:19:00

I loved this entry, very atmospheric! Graphics and audio are perfect.

didn't see any sharks, but i did get eaten by one...

Losing sight of the submarine made me kind of anxious.

I'd like to see this developed further, but maybe with a more interesting goal than just collecting coins :)

Lonely Space Marshal by Zuieni 2012-01-08T01:01:00

Animation is charming, and the music is cool. Not much to do in it! But at least the basics work.

Skull Hunt by Kelly Thomas 2012-01-08T00:51:00

The audio is awesome! I also like the physicsyness of the thrown weapons.

5 DAYS by matthias_zarzecki 2012-01-08T00:27:00

Great atmosphere! I absolutely love the graphics, the view of Mars outside is especially cool.

I think it could have done with a bit more variation in the gameplay... but perhaps the monotony of the player's actions reflects the theme well.

Lava Jumper by Skriglitz 2012-01-05T23:28:00

Got stuck in a wall!

Yeah, this ran way too fast. The first few with-lava levels were possible as you could stick to the sides of the wall.

Chamber of Remorse by xBlinkedx 2012-01-05T23:24:00

The lighting is nice, but the game is extremely unfair. Even after you get the fireball spell, fighting is difficult as you need to run towards the enemy to kill them. Mouse-aimed attacks would have been better.

Speaking of which, the requirement to use both mouse and keyboard for no good reason is... strange.

Running Alone by babbe107 2012-01-05T23:12:00

Nice atmosphere, especially the effects later on in the game. Jumping felt a little strange.

Crazy Old Cat Lady by Indivicivet 2012-01-05T23:05:00

Missing .dll :(

Downtown Nazi Mission by HarryTorry 2012-01-05T22:59:00

some solid arena shootering. Not sure how well it fits the theme, though. Liked the upgrade purchasing.

Alone with the Shifters by kernel panic 2012-01-05T22:49:00

Graphics are interesting. Player's light-source disappears too quickly, making this very difficult to play.

Blackout by phill99 2012-01-05T22:45:00

wouldn't launch for me.

People by commando 2012-01-05T22:44:00

the puzzle was nice, good use of the theme.

Paper Dream by Claw 2012-01-05T22:36:00

Graphics are very pleasant, i love the papery feel of the player.

Purple is the Best Colour by Inertia 2012-01-05T22:22:00

Not really sure how it fits the theme... possibly because each ship is 'alone' in its part of the screen? What are passing hearts supposed to do?

Some nice sprites.

Head South by MurrayL 2012-01-05T21:55:00

Oh woah, the graphics, audio, theme and mood - you really nailed it here.

F_cked by kelp 2012-01-05T21:39:00

Lovely graphics :)

Limbus Kitten by scgrn 2012-01-05T21:36:00

couldn't run, missing dll

The Lonely Alien by Chaoslab 2012-01-04T14:47:00

Couldn't get it to run on windows :\.

Extreme Outdoor Survival by wolfmerchant 2012-01-04T14:38:00

The graphics are very nice, but... haha, not much beyond that. Would like to see where you're going with it.

Incomplete Soul by wally2069 2012-01-04T14:35:00

Frustrating controls. Last level is interesting.

Scriptblocks Space Station LD48.22 by scriptblocks 2012-01-04T14:30:00

Having difficulty launching on windows...

Outpost Alone by kokido 2012-01-04T14:27:00

Audio was nice, and i loved the starfield.

Not sure if it fit the theme very well, and the slow shots make for some kind of frustrating gameplay.

The Lonely Sphincter by crackerblocks 2012-01-04T14:03:00

om nom nom nom

Cute game, i love the graphics. Don't think it really fits the theme though.

Soloing by Goldendice 2012-01-04T13:52:00

Mood, theme and audio all brilliant. Nice work!

One-Player Co-op by Redbone 2012-01-03T15:55:00

cute graphics, intriguing idea, solid mechanics, this is a great entry :)

The Four Hats in "Room to Roam" by tacograveyard 2012-01-03T15:39:00

Lovely screenshots, unfortunate that there's no windows build.

A Door in the Dark by flyinpancake 2012-01-03T15:31:00

neat concept. Couldn't find a blue gem (?), felt like clicks weren't registering properly.

A Whisperer in Darkness: The Game by Sawtan 2012-01-03T15:22:00

The graphics are cool, but... not much of a game here it seems :S.

Barriers by FacticiusVir 2012-01-03T15:19:00

Link seems dead...

Alone by Lilleman 2012-01-03T15:18:00

lack of scrolling is confusing. Hit boxes are way too big, not enough ammo... it's just not very fun :(. Sound is nice, though!

Friend by gmfreaky 2012-01-03T15:12:00

"'java' is not recognised as an internal or external command" - wouldn't run for me.

Enneige by envy3d 2012-01-03T15:07:00

Would rather not have to install anything.

Spirit In Mansion by Drabiter 2012-01-03T15:05:00

I thought it was unclear how the ghosts where hurting the player. Cooldown when taking too many shots is kind of annoying.

Nice game otherwise!

walkabout by mramaizng 2012-01-03T15:00:00

Single packages would have been nice. Graphics are the best aspect of this (hammer animation is cute), but there's not much to it. Frustrating gameplay - why do I teleport to the start if i hit the wall?

Alone in the Shadows by CireNeikual 2011-12-29T04:30:00

The lighting is great, but i don't think the music really fit the theme. No indication of where a new weapon lies is frustrating!

Rover's Spirit by Robmaister 2011-12-29T04:21:00

Download link not working for me.

The Lost Viking by lasseastrup 2011-12-29T04:03:00

Audio was nice, the graphics were cute, if simple. Gameplay seems pretty solid, and there's quite a bit there - at least, in terms of weapons. The axe actually seems like one of the better weapons, especially given some enemies moving faster than the player/long cooldown between shots.

Fernands War by nickd3000 2011-12-28T03:56:00

Haha, brilliant! the graphics are nice and the controls smooth (although, hit boxes seemed a bit strange, and i think the 1-hit kill on saw blades is a tad unfair...)- plays nicely.

Twist is hilarious. Nice job!

Leave Me Alone by SaiKai 2011-12-28T03:34:00

Graphics are really cool, and the idea is fun (kind of reminds me of bit.trip runner?)... but i think the jumping mechanics get in the way a bit, especially when you have to jump a series of obstacles - I think the player's fall speed is too slow.

Nice take on the theme.

For Glory! by SLiV 2011-12-28T03:26:00

The lighting is excellent. The gameplay is frustrating. Unless there's some trick to it, it's very hard to tell the melee skulls from the shooting skulls. What does gold do?

Alone, in a Maze by mcatominey 2011-12-28T03:11:00

character sprite looks nice. Maze is too huge to memorise on the loading screen, and the timer is too short given said size. Got a game over with the end about 2 seconds away.

Not that satisfying... but the maze generation is quite good. Is this your own algorithm?

BraveWorker by RawBits 2011-12-28T03:04:00

windows link is broken for me

Super farm boy by zoral 2011-12-28T03:03:00

the graphics have a certain charm to them! I agree about the repetativeness.

Happy Land by Vilborg 2011-12-28T02:53:00

that's a lot of kittens!

some of the weapons felt a bit weak, but the controls were smooth and it played quite well!

Divided by TeamInk 2011-12-27T13:06:00

Very nice! graphics, audio, a compelling idea, good atmosphere.

Needs a /little/ bit of work - it wasn't obvious that spikes kill you, for instance, but other than that, some nice puzzles in a nice game, well done :).

The Tomb by Okkwogg 2011-12-27T12:49:00

graphics are lovely, but the game is frustrating. No sense of orientation progression. Perhaps a minimap showing areas you've already explored would have helped.

Alone in Space by fakeshadows 2011-12-27T12:39:00

the twinkling stars is a nice touch, but unfortunately there's not enough gameplay here to last very long.

Rox Gunner and the Cavern of Loneliness by Daisuke909 2011-12-27T11:49:00

Same as Shigor, haha.

Also, pressing enter to remove the text doesn't always work... annoying...

Destination Eden by _ferritt 2011-12-27T11:41:00

This was pretty neat! The controls are slightly confusing at first, and i think the while-flying thrust should be a bit higher... make manouvring a little easier, but certainly the game is quite innovative.

Lots of tasty particles, too.

The Last Geek by Robotic 2011-12-27T11:27:00

I got a bunch of errors when this launched... :| running windows 7 64 bit, if that helps.

Co-op Alone by Zer0XoL 2011-12-27T11:23:00

Fun game, interesting take on the theme, with some nice puzzles. I too got stuck in a room that i opened with the ball :(.

Derpmiffo's rescue mission by slaeshjag 2011-12-27T11:09:00

Some good platforming - jumping feels nice. Inability to walk backwards annoying! A bit of trial and error...

Not sure if it fits the theme terribly well?

Gloaming by lapogo 2011-12-22T05:07:00

I can't seem to climb the ladder in the first stage?

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2011-12-22T04:17:00

bonus points for rocket kitten

The Diary by DalsGames 2011-12-22T04:11:00

Glitchy and surreal. I actually kind of enjoyed it! I agree that the player needs more ammunition.

Lifeless by DragonSix 2011-12-22T04:02:00

I love the graphics and mood, and think they really work towards the theme. The constant banging while in the populated area really made me appreciate the rest of the game. Interesting geometry.

Mr Booo! by Fang 2011-12-22T03:54:00

hitbox is way too large (bigger than the player!?). The graphics are clean and pleasant, and the jumping feels good.

Parcel Walk by feyleafgames 2011-12-22T03:48:00

humour is the best aspect. The jumping was a bit funny, but at least platform placement didn't make it frustrating to play.

Zolcan by drZool 2011-12-21T18:28:00

Neither link appears to do anything...

Lonely miner by kalle_h 2011-12-21T18:24:00

fluid! haha, awesome. This is very technically impressive, well done.

Lonely Island by Winterblood 2011-12-21T18:15:00

I think the grayscale suits it. Sorry to hear about the loss of your code. What's there is very nice.

Catspace by VDOgamez 2011-12-21T18:08:00

The graphics are really cool, i don't think i've seen anything that does quite this. The basic premise is neat, too, especially where parts of the maze obfuscating others.

The purple doors/switches are not a good idea.

Would definitely like to see this idea developed further, i think it has real potential.

Alone by Gwinnell 2011-12-21T17:53:00

Sensible jumping and cute sprites!

Solitude by dastry 2011-12-21T17:50:00

Audio is funny, I especially like the music. The graphics have their charms, but the game is ultimately not very fun to play.

The controls are very weird!

Nice first game, though, especially given then time constraints.

Alone with myself by athanazio 2011-12-21T17:43:00

I really like the music, but the gameplay is... strange. It feels very slow and sticky, with a lack of interesting mechanics. Forcing the player to pass through that first enemy was interesting, although not very meaningful as he only hurts you a tiny bit.

An excellent journal!

Lil' Zombies by eriksundqvist 2011-12-21T13:02:00

graphics are cute, but the gameplay is kind of dry.

Statue by zazery 2011-12-21T12:55:00

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8626299/clipped.png

I jumped out of the level geometry :(

I liked the graphics, but the jumping is very annoying and imprecise, despite the tight requirements of some jumps. Not really sure what the objective was, I got all of the yellow things but nothing happened...

Tavern Wench - The Quest To Be Alone by SarahFrisk 2011-12-21T12:43:00

Unfortunately there's not much to comment on. The idea is not bad, and something i'd like to see fleshed out more.

Alone In Space by BleuLlama 2011-12-21T12:39:00

second level is pretty annoying, but some nice ideas here. Fuel might deplete too quickly.

Volcanox by leafo 2011-12-21T12:28:00

rate of enemy respawning kind of frustrating - the probably shouldn't respawn at all? I love the graphics, sound and music, but sound seemingly only fires once for each.

Very nice game, anyway, I'd love to see it finished :)

Things you do alone... by jeffz 2011-12-21T12:21:00

Unfortunate hitboxes, but the music and sound are fun.

The Last Man on Earth by h.attila 2011-12-21T12:20:00

Along with the crazy enemy reaction speed, I think a smaller player hitbox would be nice, too - jumping and visually missing the bullet but getting hurt anyway is very annoying!

Nice work, that aside. The graphics are chunky and fun.

Lonely Ruins by Kableado 2011-12-21T12:04:00

Lovely graphics, very cute game. I also smiled :)

Alone by uzimonkey 2011-12-21T11:59:00

Hilarious! Graphics are pleasant, but i don't think the gameplay necessarily reflects being alone.

lost, alone by grobitbox 2011-12-21T11:54:00

The audio is a nice touch. Might be nice with more survival aspects.

A Typical Friday Night by merthsoft 2011-12-21T11:42:00

Depressing :(. Certainly fits the theme, haha.

Couldn't find any easter eggs or cats, might have another look later.

Thrown Away by Ethanh59 2011-12-21T11:33:00

What helloserve said... extremely cryptic and even frustrating. I tried throwing a rock at the tree :(. I drank some water and slept. It's nice that you implemented a day/night cycle!

It could maybe do with some better hints, at least showing basic commands...

Leave me alone by daredevildave 2011-12-21T11:17:00

Fun, but short. I wasn't sure about it matching the theme, but the moai moving slightly faster than the player adds a certain anxiety aspect.

Lonely Trader by Jerm 2011-12-21T11:11:00

It's unfortunate that you didn't finish this, looks like you got quite a bit done. The space trade is a nice genre, you should try to finish!

I like the idea of trading parts directly.

Hewwo 1, 2, & 3 by KniteBlargh 2011-12-21T11:00:00

i think my brain hurts

Golgafrincham by RobotCaleb 2011-12-21T10:53:00

7/7 and still a lukewarm ending :(

Very challenging, even for a lander game! I like the physics of it, especially the way the pods inherit your ship's velocity, very nice.

Alone by TAX by tax 2011-12-21T10:30:00

Hard to control the boat! I love the atmosphere and graphics.
