Incomplete Escape Racer! by fenn 2011-08-24T19:26:00
Nice to see a web game in HTML5, but it got boring after about 10 seconds. You did say it was incomplete :).

Nice to see a web game in HTML5, but it got boring after about 10 seconds. You did say it was incomplete :).
This was pretty cool, and just about the right difficulty. I fell off once near the end, but never had too many problems. There's more gameplay than some entries I've played, but slightly more variation in the level wouldn't have hurt.
The style is coming together, but some things (the strange character model, the colour green for the path) didn't seem to fit with the grey buildings, black ground thing, and ghostly people.
Well done, though, for thinking a little outside the box and trying something different.
This was very cool, although I'm not sure if I won or lost. I put the last item (the bomb) in the engine and it told me "thanks for playing". I'm going to assume the ship blew up and I died, it makes for a more complete story-arc :).
Legogo has a very good comment. I use dvorak, and so it's a right pain to play. I compromised by running sideways everywhere, but can't help feeling the arrow keys would have been a better choice.
I like the 8-bit style. Although it's terribly overused, it makes sense for LudumDare, and your colorscheme was wonderful. I didn't have any problems with the instructions or icons. It felt really polished (except for the ending).
Overall, incredible work!
I get an error when I try to run this that says "mono : failed to load dll".
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to run in Chrome either. It animated and looked lovely, but there was no interaction whatsoever. I checked I had the flash focused too.
Although awesome atmosphere, I can't help thinking it's just a glorified movie - that required 38Mb to download something that should probably have been a 1Mb flash file.
Overall it was a very innovative take on the theme, that created a real atmosphere. I'll remember this game/movie/application/art piece longer than most entries I've played.
It's an innovative theme, but as other commenters have said it felt pointless hiding in a cubicle all day. Although I imagine that's what a lot of bored office workers feel, so perhaps you achieved your aim!
I also wish there was a way to work off the TODOs! My high score was 6.
The backstory had me expecting an epic game! Unfortunately there were a few technical issues that meant I never got past wave 4 - my bullets stopped colliding with enemies (and the enemies lagged very badly), so I could sit shooting for minutes on end and never hit the last few.
Although basic, it's a good first entry that has everything needed - graphics, sound, gameplay, (community participation) and a story. So well done!
I really don't want to run an installer. Can you upload without it please?
Very short and not particularly challenging, but it was an interesting (albeit somewhat twisted) idea and an interesting approach to the theme.
The controls were a little fiddly at times, but I never had any problems with the levels. The game was also short enough that the 3 second music loop didn't get irritating.
Overall though, it's a complete and stable game with playable (and varied) levels. Good work.
Although an interesting way to view "escape", it felt only loosely related to the theme. Or perhaps that's because puzzle/matching games aren't my forte. However, it was a fun diversion and I've never seen that mechanic before. It felt complete, and worked smoothly.
I like the upgrading mechanism, it was fun to replay the same levels when feeling more powerful. I don't think it's too tough - although it seems a little random whether jumping on an enemy will kill you or them. I got a high score of 702! Pity the leaderboards aren't working.
A very neat game, with some subtle humour. I think there are still a few cases where the game doesn't end if everyone dies (I kept repeatedly dying of thirst and starvation in one game) - but mostly it worked fine.
It would be useful to have some kind of counter or timer that showed how far you'd already driven or how far to the goal. I also found it very frustrating to play with one key. If I pressed the key each turn, it took ages to progress. If I held it down, then it would skip past all the dialogues before I could stop and read them. Maybe separate keys for this would be useful, or automatically drive through the stages where nothing happens.
I never did make it to the military base, but I played quite a few games and had a lot of fun with it. I think my party died in pretty much every way possible, so I'm holding my fingers that the zombies don't invade any time soon. I'll be the first victim for sure. Very well produced overall, congratulations :).
It's an interesting idea, although it doesn't feel as though much time was put into it. I simply couldn't finish the game the "proper" way , and so resorted to mashing the escape key until it said I'd won.
Perhaps if there was a penalty for making false escapes, and the number of doors (or the reaction time) was adjusted, then it would work a little better.
Neat entry that feels complete. I never found out if there was an ending to the game, because I was terrible at it! (I use the dvorak keyboard layout, so the jump and climb buttons were in very inconvenient places). However I did manage to survive for a few minutes.
I was far too preoccupied running away from the lava to even consider collecting things or staying above the pink line. Perhaps if the points/bonus also slowed down the rising tide? (Or, if it did this, perhaps it needed to be a little more obvious!).
Overall, well done!
Unfortunately I can't run this, it gives me an error that says "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from [pathofjarfile]". Is there some special way I need to run this?
This was hilarious. Some challenges were far too difficult (Swarms, Advancing wall of Doom), but most bought back funny memories from the challenges. I escaped in 262 seconds.
The music was awesome! I left it running in the background for a while just to hear it playing :)
The level was fun, but I just jumped straight over enemies and didn't bother with killing them or throwing them. It was so uselessly uncontrollable that there didn't seem to be any point.
I'm impressed that you managed to write the emulator and still have time for a playable game afterwards.
Error creating D3D Device.
I assume it's because I have an older graphics card (Intel 915GM) that doesn't support shaders. Looks lovely, a pity I can't play it.

I can see how you've tried to link to the theme (research to make a weapon that turns enemies into weapons), but it seems too contrived and too irrelevant.
The music and card matching game was pretty relaxing, but the game crashed afterwards.
Well done for attempting to use the blender game engine. I've done a lot of (low-poly game) modeling in it, but I'd never try to use it to write the logic.
The animated character beside the mini game definitely helped with the atmosphere, it would have been very static, and very dull without him.
Overall though, it didn't really feel like you'd put much thought into creating a game based upon the theme.
Very cool, and works well. For the first few levels, there didn't seem to be much difference between insults and compliments, so perhaps don't show them in the interface until the mechanic is needed?
Well done.
Wonderfully atmospheric game, even if it was incredibly bizarre.
I'm not adverse to text-based games, but this one didn't really feel like I was getting anywhere (running through the options always got me back to the place where I started). Eventually I took a scientific approach and tried 1-1-1, then 1-1-2, then 1-1-3, etc, until the dialog actually changed. It would have helped to have some indication of the path to take (causing pain, I take it?).
The art was lovely, but (like GreaseMonkey), I'm not a fan of fake-pixel games. In this case because it made the text hard to read (and that's not good, for a text-centric game).
The music was great, and would have been perfect if it didn't skip every 30 seconds or so.
The length of the game was just about right, I couldn't have taken an awful lot more of the same thing. However, I did want to participate in the conversation with the guard (having just figured out how to make people explode). Perhaps a really simple dialog tree here would be fun.
I couldn't quite decide if it was supposed to be serious or funny. In either case, some of the lines came across a little strangely.
Overall, though, a very nicely implemented game.
I very challenging but enjoyable game. (Was it honestly supposed to be that fast? It was crazy!).
Got to 300 points before I started to wonder if there were any more enemy types or waves to come. I liked having the choice of whether to hold the shooting-thing and use its bullets, or if to pick up enemies and shoot them.
The sound and music stuttered badly, and the music kept playing (well, about 3 seconds of it repeated) after I quit. I had to kill firefox to get it to stop.
Nicely done, and it looks as though you improved it even further with the jam version.
Not being a fan of the DoubleRainbowZombie theme, I had low expectations for this game. However, it had a solid mechanic that fitted the EAW theme nicely.
I didn't get all the way through. When I got to the hoards of zombies, I knew what I had to do, but I just made a basic mistake and ended up dying. So I'm not a fan of the life system (as an LD game, it probably works well if you weren't trying to play 20 of these in an evening).
Well done for getting a complete game out, with artwork that's not 'fake pixel' or 'retro vector'. (Even if it it's never going to win any awards, I appreciate it).
10k points!
It's a fun concept, and very satisfying spinning a box around and knocking all the rest out of the way.
I think it would have benefited from mouse control, it was hard getting the ship to move in the right way to start the box spinning.
The highpitched 'ping' sound when the boxes died was very satisfying.
I had to laugh when I saw alistair's comment, because I was thinking exactly the same thing when I played it. Then I quit and read your description above, and it made a lot more sense!
I found the best strategy was to wall yourself in, and just keep repairing the one(s) that broke. I lasted for ages.
The graphics are cool, but I had to run it in a fairly small window with the quality turned down due to my crappy laptop. I'm sure it looks better fullscreen.
The music was well done. Congratulations getting a complete game finished.
Great idea! The gameplay works well, (and the sound wasn't too grating). Out-running your own bullets was definitely the main problem, and the fact the difficulty ramped up so quickly!
Well done.
Although I read the instructions, it took me a while to actually put them in context. The first time I played (actually, the first half-dozen attempts), I died almost straight away. Those robots sure shoot fast!
Then I tried to hack the orange robot. Oops.
The next couple of attempts, I snuck up behind a robot. I thought the countdown was the time it took to hack them, so I sat beside the robot and waited. I got fairly annoyed when the hacking finished, and the robot turned around to shoot me.
Your animations are OK, and the player death is pretty cool.
Finally, I figured out how to play the game, and actually had quite a bit of fun with it. As has been mentioned, it does fit the theme well, and it feels like a finished (albeit unpolished and way-too-hard) game. Well done!
It was also unplayable for me, looking more like a slideshow than a game. 1.6Ghz Thinkpad.
I'm afraid it doesn't work for me, all I get is a white screen.
Does it use non-power-of-two textures? They don't work on my graphics card (Intel 915GM on a Thinkpad). I've seen this problem with SDL_Image/OpenGL before. Pity, the other comments made the game seem promising.
I'm afraid I couldn't really figure out how to play (or perhaps I was particularly terrible at it). Placing towers worked fine, and I could see the speed/greed ones working, but my trust towers never seemed to impact the enemy. No matter what I did, my fighters never managed to make an impact on the enemy base - it always stayed at 100%, and I never even breached their shield.
*As I write this, I read the comments, and download the fixed version*. Ah, the trust turrents now work, and I actually won a game. It makes a little more sense, but I think the main problem is that there's no feedback (why do my turrets disappear, is it time or health?). Do my trust turrents convert my own units into enemies? Is it only when they're in the enemy's zone?
Overall, it was a great idea, but the implementation lets it down a little.
This is really cool. There were more attack options than I initially assumed, it was hard to stop playing. My favourite attack was definitely shooting enemies back at each other, but using them as a weapon was a novel thought.
My only gripe was the Slow-Motion bonus, which was more annoying than anything else. I just wanted it to go away so I could keep grappling ships.
Great game!
Amazing game. It has a fun (and fairly deep) mechanic, pretty graphics, and the levels just go on and on. My only complaint was the walk speed, which felt very slow when going through the level for the 3rd time ...
A very well designed game.
sfernald, he's referring to WolframAlpha, the 'computational engine' that has a procedural music generator.
I love rts/expansion type games, so this was great to play. It looks lovely, too. Nicely implemented.
I'm not sure if I managed to figure out the aforementioned strategy, but it was a nicely implemented game. I do wish explosions took out all nearby bombers instead of just the target. When my score got up around the 150 mark, I simply couldn't click fast enough to take out all the bombers.
However, the game sits well with the theme, and the graphics were nice. Well done!
I couldn't quite figure out how to make the powerups work. I got some sort of shield by sucking up the yellow things, and my bullets turned blue/red when I sucked up groups of enemies. But they didn't seem to give my any sort of advantage. Perhaps it was a score thing?
Overall, it's a finished game, and playable, so congratulations on your first Ludum Dare.
I was looking forward to playing this game, ever since I saw the screenshot on the blog. It was just as good as I expected.
Tthe first two enemies I dispatched using fire, ice and wind, and I couldn't quite figure out how it was related to the theme. However, I then froze an enemy and blew it into another one!
I love the subtle animation of the main character, and the little touches that made me smile (the rabbits running faster when they're on fire, fire melting the ice). All it's missing is a story and/or some levels. Overall, though, really well done!
Also missing MSVCP71.DLL, but I suspect many other entries will need it, so I went and downloaded it.
The different block patterns were cool, but the game got very boring very quickly. Guess that shows it's minimalistic.
This was a pretty cool, minimalist take on an RTS. My biggest grip was that, even if I clicked the "attack with king" at the very beginning of the game, I could still finish off the opponent with my soldiers before the king got halfway across the board.
I thought for the bonus points I had to get the diamonds together and then kill all the enemies, so things became easier when I found I could finish levels just my creating a 'match-3'.
Blatant clone, as others said, but at least it's finished and runs well. The audio was rather jarring.
Nice wee game, I think the difficulty balance was just right. Level 4 was really hard (lots of fiddly little jumps) but overall was pretty good fun.
Pretty cool. Conversely, the 'easy' track took more presses for me than the 'twisty' one. Playing with a friend would have been cool, but I notice the sensitivity changes between game modes. Is this on purpose? Also a real-time 2 player mode would have been interesting to see.
As other people mentioned, a change direction or speed up button would have been really useful. Took me ages to do the last level because I kept missing rails and then having to go all the way back up. Overall a well polished and fun game, well done.
Well it's very minimalist, I created an apartment and watched the workers fly round like some lost flock of birds, then quit.
Neat idea you had planned, although as others have said, I can't quite see how it fits the theme.
Well I enjoyed it for a couple of games. I wasn't quite sure what everything did or how it affected the battle, so I'm fairly sure I won by luck. Nice idea, but even simple graphics would probably have helped quite a bit.
Was certainly minimal, also rather annoying as others have pointed out.
I had the same problem as sol_hsa (again), but once working it was a great game. Well polished and easy to pick up.
My two gripes are that the easy level was boring, once I switched to medium things became a lot more fun. Also, it was quite difficult to figure out which way you were pointing, when you were moving around a lot.
Overall though, the graphics & gameplay were minimal (in a theme-based good way), consistent, and worked well. Sound and/or music would have helped.
"You may notice that every song in your music library sounds better with cowbell.
This is scientifically proven."
Brilliant Idea! The whole premise had me giggling, very good humour in the game. Unfortunately it didn't work particularly well, the music drifted out of sync regardless of how accurately I tried to sync it with shift. The little note things appeared to have a pattern depending on the state of the music, so something must be going on under the hood there, it's just not quite right yet.
Overall, great premise, I'm expecting a fully functional version!
Really great idea, and the implementation isn't too bad. The music/background generated by the platforms is a fun idea, but the movement of them seemed a little too random. I spent a long time just waiting around, which wasn't all that fun. A jump button for when I've got 2mm to move up would be really helpful there. Lovely minimalist graphics, and the transform between min & mo looked nice.
That was great! The particles for the water were very cool, loved how they changed colour when moving to give a washy sort of feel. The gameplay was hard the first time, but making a large empty box meant I lasted until around 900. It then hailed cannonballs, which was mean, but did provide a sense of closure. Well done for making an original idea.
There wasn't really much to it, I guess it fits with the minimalistic theme. I couldn't help but feel there'd be a better way to implement the same mechanic. Scrolling the screen over a fixed field of dots wasn't particularly intuitive to me.
That was pretty cool. The sounds made the game, along with the flashing. As sol_HSA said, as soon as I realized the flashing didn't mean anything, it became easy.
Short, but fairly sweet, and the music added to it. The foreground thing was odd, but made things look quite a bit better than they probably would have. A longer level would have been good, but overall it's a fair entry.
Became impossible in some situations, so was mostly just luck how long I lasted. Good idea though, and graphics were interesting.
Thanks for the setup script, probably would have skipped this entry otherwise. There seemed to be a few bugs in the rotation code - when I moved the mouse round one way, my guy occasionally moved the other, killing me. It would have been nice to rotate faster too, but the idea has promise. It was nice not having to worry about running around as well as defense. Some big white thing came down and landed on me too, I'm not quite sure what that was.
I'm not even going to bother downloading this, but I do like the journal entry! (even though I don't agree with it). Plus for originality, but Minus because I don't agree that it's actually a game.
Your other game idea (Resident Evil 0), though not the final one, was also interesting in pushing the bounds of what counts as a game. Pretty much the same comment as above applies to that.
LD27 — 10 Seconds (28)
Phosphorus by hoyt hoy 2013-09-04T08:46:00
It was a neat game to play, although I agree the controls were a little floaty at times. Counting down the levels was an interesting touch (I got to #2). I got frustrated in level 3 where you simply had to touch a container to die - I outran them, but then kept touching them trying to get a proper run-up for the jump (but I made it in the end). I was worried what would happen when my torches ran out! A great atmosphere/mood.
10 Seconds by rogueNoodle 2013-09-04T08:35:00
It would be cool if you could release a windows version for us poor souls who can't use the web player!
WindBuilder by Per 2013-09-04T08:33:00
I like building this type of build-your-ship game, but I'm not sure whether adding a piece every 10 seconds was a help or a hinderance. Perhaps my shipbuilding skills are lacking, but the bigger the ship got the more unweildy it was, even (or especially) with more boosters.
I had fun wobbling around the levels at any rate :).
10 by Benn 2013-09-04T08:27:00
It's a neat idea behind this! Unfortunately I think the menu got stuck over the top of the game (it' just said '10, press space to start' all the time, even when I was playing) but luckily it didn't stop the game from working.

Taen Saeck by Typedeaf 2013-08-28T00:32:00
I was a bit sceptical when I fired this game up. The music was a bit grating and the graphics cute but in an MS-paint sort of way.
Then I spent 3 hours playing it.
As others have mentioned, the progression felt a little slow at times, but I think it was well balanced and you wouldn't want to make it too much faster. However if you develop this game further, please please please get some more varied music. And please finish the graphics for the last items! I was very disappointed when they didn't look any different after the upgrades.
I didn't realise upgrading the speed made the enemies harder, so I probably lost a lot of time in the beginning fighting difficult enemies when it wasn't worth it. Perhaps a more balanced/varied mechanism for the enemy strength would be good.
I'd appreciate a boss / final monster to get some sense of closure. However I also appreciate this is Ludum Dare and nobody expects people to play their game for hours on end! As someone else mentioned, a save function would be nice.
Finally, I was impressed by how well everything fit together to make what felt like a very complete game. Thanks for the experience!

Freeze Box by SamC 2013-08-27T12:23:00
The game is very smooth - the lighting is nice, the boxes feel chunky, and the controls work although are somewhat fiddly at times. Some of the puzzles/levels were pretty tricky though it got easier once I figured I could jump :/ (you can finish a surprising amount without jumping if you put your mind to it!).
Well done.
rumble on the graveyard by grozamorei 2013-08-27T12:00:00
Very pretty! I like the animations. Even dying was a pleasant experience. Although it would have happened less if I'd read all of the instructions before playing the game...
GO - NO GO! by nSun 2013-08-27T11:51:00
Well that was easier then expected... although I managed to blow up far too many rockets first. I had hoped to see some cute kittens! Groovy.
Yin: A Game About Happiness by Sanguine 2013-08-27T11:24:00
It's impossible to play this game and not smile. I had a huge grin on my face throughout the entire thing. The controls were good, the graphics cute, and the music the cutest of all (tied with the jump sounds!).
I got a little concerned when jumping in the water made me die (I thought Yin liked water?). But then I realised I was jumping on a turtle I couldn't see, and everything was right with the world again. Perhaps a little more view range would be nice though.
It doesn't have the best graphics of LD, nor the best music, sound, or levels. But the mood is so perfect that this game will be the one I remember. Well done.
Escape From Homeshank by ColdBrain 2013-08-27T11:14:00
A nicely original take on the theme. The graphics were clean and the background music wonderful if a little repetitive when you had to keep restarting. Unfortunately I kept getting stuck and had to reload the page. The controls also felt a little floaty/unresponsive at times. Well done on a complete and cute entry.
Bob Won't Be Late by TeamBob 2013-08-27T11:04:00
I caught the taxi!!!. I figure that needs three exclamation marks because it took me at least 30 attempts and longer than I want to admit. I couldn't find the pants, and then eating the cake didn't fulfil my huger (spelling, btw) needs.
But I perservered. The graphic style grew on me, although the controls are fiddly and it's too easy to get stuck in corners and loose your orientation when the view flips. A smooth (yet still quick) transition between angles would help. Overall a fun game.
Black & White & Time by NachoDA 2013-08-27T10:52:00

10 Seconds to escape by FireZenk 2013-08-27T10:50:00
Glad you sorted out the compo/jam issue. For future reference the rules are here : http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/ - even though it's long it's worth reading to know what cool stuff you *are* allowed to do (such as pre-writing frameworks and releasing the code before the compo starts), as well as the stuff you aren't.
Anyway, the game runs very smoothly. It would be cool if you captured more than one keystroke so I could hold down keys to move. I didn't realise you had to collect the gems, and made a heroic effort to run back and get them! (but failed). The second time through I made it with seconds to spare. Well done on a finished game.
10 Second Lead by Sinuath 2013-08-27T10:42:00
It ran for me. Congratulations on your first LD game. To polish it up you should look at capturing more than one keystroke and perhaps randomly generating a maze (it's not too hard).
Deep by tamy 2013-08-27T03:58:00
The graphics were really cool, and basing the switching-layers mechanism on inception means it's not so hard to describe. However I couldn't figure out what the goal was - I kept dying and the character was hard to control.
Ten seconds to midnight by TimKaidem 2013-08-27T03:51:00
Very cool idea, I don't think I've ever played someting exactly like that. It would be nice if there was some indication as to how likely an alliance would be (or why it was denied) but other than that it was fun. A lot seems to depend on the random relationships at the start though.
The Duellists by jay griffin 2013-08-27T03:45:00
I just had to play a fellow duelist's game ;). The graphics are very well drawn and the game seems well polished. The death/shooting silhouettes work well and the sound effects fit with the 8-bit theme. I'd love to hear a fanfare when you win too! Well done.
Stay Alive 10 Seconds by as3boyan 2013-08-27T03:37:00
Wow that was short. It lagged badly when reinforcements arrived, but other than that was smooth and responsive and fun for at least 8 of the 10 seconds! (The other 2 I was hoping not to die!). Nicely done.
Film Leader by PixelArtM 2013-08-27T03:34:00
A short and cute game, I got up to level 6. The jumping seems off in some way - it was difficult to get to the higher pieces. I like the idea of the film ticker counting off the seconds.
Escape From The Temple of Eternal Dooom by Joror 2013-08-27T03:28:00
I like the idea behind this, and once I figured out how to remove actions (that prompt should be near the start, by the way) I started having fun with it.
However I'm going to repeat a complaint from another horror/survival game : it's too dark! It's the middle of the day here for me and without maxing out the brightness and contrast I can't see much other than the text and initial lantern. Keep the dark bits dark and creepy, but if you want people to see something (like those areas lit in a very faint green) please make it a bit more visible.
Other than that, it's a good game. Well done.
Death Rooms by Jan Marcano 2013-08-27T03:21:00
A nicely polished and fun little game. I cleared 7 rooms and then the difficult seemed to really ramp up! As a dvorak user the keys were a right pain too - would be nice if you had alternatives with ctrl/shift/space/etc. The music was very nice.

The game fit the theme well and the buffs/debuffs were interesting - I just wish there were more! Some directions would be nice showing where I was supposed to go. The graphics are good, but it would be cool to see your own take on them, even if it's not quite as polished.

I have no idea what was happening, but it was hilarious and I played it for 10 minutes anyway! The audio was brilliant too.

The audio design was really good and helped hugely with the atmosphere!
I was unfortunately playing the game in a bright room and so couldn't see anything - after maxing out the brightness and gamma I saw the glowing green things and managed to exit, but I suggest making the contrast higher (keep the darkness black and scary, but make the small patches you can see brighter). Having the level hidden in darkness is scary, but having to squint to see anything broke the mood.
I really jumped the first time I saw the ghost. Good work.

60 seconds, 209. I didn't realise you lost synergy for false clicks the first few times I played - after that I had to watch my accuracy a lot more. It got easier if you zoomed the screen in, and used a drawing tablet for pointing ;). Fun idea, and slick execution.

Although the controls felt sluggish at times the graphics and audio really made a wonderful atmosphere. The puzzles were varied and built in complexity using only simple mechanics. Very well made game overall.
