LD36 — Ancient Technology

Ancient Vault by Moeilijk 2016-08-29T16:09:00

i see the grey rectangle and nothing happens. Chromium version 47 Linux-64bit

Ancient Vault by Moeilijk 2016-08-29T16:19:00

K, after a while the game started to load, and I actually got to play the game which is kinda cool, actually.

Spectacular Stride Machine by Garfeild 2016-08-29T20:58:00

Hehe, for some reason this game reminds me of flappy bird. The game is overall very polished but it seems to lack something that makes addictive gameplay, not sure what exactly is missing.

tranzeve by tranzeve 2016-08-29T05:01:00

the web link is not working!

ancient portable audio tape player by wiatrogon 2016-08-29T16:51:00

k, the second map is a bit slow, even when fast forwarding, but the first one is kinda playable.

Full Steam by tompudding 2016-08-29T15:53:00

when running "make" i get this error:

Elders' Race by lagrumemasque 2016-08-29T16:01:00

k, the game is somewhat creepy and cryptic. I didn't get the joke with the dog being dragged, or the jet engine pointing forward. The intro music is a bit spooky too. You guys have some weird sense of humor, but overall the game is playable.

Ancient Contact by Volcanic Giraffe 2016-09-03T10:44:00

Nice gameplay, very smooth kind of a tower defence.

Runty Raptor's Rock Roller by ryte2byte 2016-08-29T17:14:00

Very fun game, but the controls are kind of awkward, hard to get used to. Too many buttons, in my opinion. I would reduce it to just "Jump" and "boost". Overall - very playable, and a very funny character.

S**ON by jakatpemadi 2016-08-29T20:39:00

Haven't heard about Construct 2. Nice work!

Sumer Game by Rico The Jammer 2016-08-30T05:36:00

Quite playable. Something similar could probably work for learning Chinese...

Pharaoh's Diamond by Lojchin 2016-08-29T20:17:00

It works in Wine on Linux! Way to go!

Starwalker by svyatozar 2016-08-29T04:22:00

K, I guess you played without sound, or skipped the intro. The glitch appeared late into the game engine development, which took me a bit longer than I expected, so I had to cut down on level development, eventually made only one silly map, which is kinda sad...

Starwalker by svyatozar 2016-08-29T14:09:00

It's an overwhelming experience for me right now, but next time I will consider control issues more seriously. I tested it in Chrome and Firefox, scored the goals, but apparently this is not enough for the wide audience...

Starwalker by svyatozar 2016-08-29T20:09:00

K, I listened to all of your requests, re-read the rules, and they say: "We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players." So, basically I only applied changes to the controls without touching anything else. The controls are now smooth and you can actually control your jump speed now.

Please understand that this is a whole 3d game engine with physics, collisions, map file structure, geometry loading, webgl and webaudio interface to worry about, so I had no time to fix all the glitches, or even make a decent game map. I apologize for these inconveniences. This is a lot of work as is, trust me. (And yes, that soundtrack recording and mastering was also done by me, with some initial technical difficulties.) I took it easy on Monday, and still am exhausted.

Ancient Invasion by Topper 2016-08-29T17:20:00

omg this game has some intense action

Stonehenge Earthquake by jsonbee 2016-08-29T20:48:00

It works in chromium version 47 in 64-bit Linux, at least. Yea the music gets kinda annoying after a while, but overall the game is quite playable.

Phaust The Weird Cat by Ido_king 2016-08-29T20:27:00

A weird indeed. Especially the political themes...

The Lion and the Rabbit by Mnemusyne 2016-08-29T05:07:00

Great start: simple yet engaging...

Sounds of Samos by phi 2016-08-29T13:02:00

Weird sounds, and I could not figure out how to slow down, all gears no matter size seem to be giving same rate of beats :-(

Sounds of Samos by phi 2016-08-29T13:03:00

oh, k I just missed the point that they can be stacked. Nice!

BEBEIGHT by Pat AfterMoon 2016-08-29T05:37:00

Great challenging game overall. I'm in Linux using Chromium v47, and it's working without glitches.

Farming Sim BC by asteryz 2016-08-29T20:36:00

The game is quite playable. Keep up the good work!

Alien Dungeon by mathias234 2016-08-29T20:40:00

K, but will it run in Linux? What platforms it is written for?

An Ancient Mistery by thiagofr 2016-09-03T10:34:00

Tough challenge. Also movement is a bit slow for my taste.

Ancient Tower Defence by Mikhail 2016-08-29T21:03:00

How do I run it? I get that LD36.jar, so what do i do with it?

Hollywood is Loomynarty by Sakaki 2016-08-30T05:44:00

Omg, yea, Bollywood, lol. It seems to me that goal is not clearly defined in this game. The alien ships are just increasing in numbers and it seems that no matter how many you destroy there is no way to win...

Centurion Defend My Castle by josehzz 2016-08-30T05:31:00

A quite playable game, but the shooting angle control seems to be not very intuitive.

Crazy Catapult by conrad123 2016-09-03T10:27:00

Very good start. I hope you will continue working on it!

Dinosty Warriors by PeachTreeOath 2016-08-29T04:47:00

Haha, reminds me of the old SimSity where Godzilla attacks. Or whatever is was, I can't remember lol.

Reinvent the Wheel by ratly 2016-08-30T05:56:00

The beginning was easy because of sequential switching, but then when random switching is required the difficulty suddenly increases, and then after a fall, i wish I had a shortcut to get to the difficult part without going a mile on totally easy sequential terrain.

Hadrian's Defence by HylianEvil 2016-08-29T21:10:00

Running in Linux, Chromium v.47: can't see the enemy. The web version of this game is unplayable on my platform for that reason...

Aqueductus by wheerd 2016-08-29T20:23:00

Cute game, very finished look. The graphics is amazing, it reminds me Caesar IV game.

LD45 — Start with nothing

Keep Dreaming Joshua by soyrandom 2019-10-08T01:21:15Z

great game! +1 for Godot, and it does work in Opera browser. too bad we can't rate the art and music

DesertTamer by svyatozar 2019-10-07T01:32:52Z

Indeed, I will see if I can add some gameplay by the Jam's deadline...

DesertTamer by svyatozar 2019-10-07T23:06:04Z

K, this is now the Jam version, with some gameplay: you can build houses, plant trees. Take a note though, that while trees give food, they also consume lots of water.

DesertTamer by svyatozar 2019-10-08T01:40:30Z

@pedromgdo @diaonic @ixchow @justuspan @geoff-nagy @rolly I did add some gameplay, not too much, but still...

DesertTamer by svyatozar 2019-10-08T02:07:29Z

@eog Haha, have your fun while you can! Demo version allows the water storage to go negative, but the paid version will not have this luxury!

DesertTamer by svyatozar 2019-10-09T03:03:10Z

@taophoenix Yes, that is all there is to it. It's my first attempt at trying to make a city builder. Of course, I was inspired by CimCity and Caesar4, and I kinda knew that balancing the economy will take months for sure. But in the process, I learned a lot about limitations of Godot3.1 engine, and how much time it takes to come up with a basic UI. Besides, it's the first time I wrote my own music for game! So, in the end this is a priceless experience! People enroll in workshops, take university courses, pay thousands of dollars to dive into a creative tide. But this competition gives you all that for free! Minus some lectures, but Youtube is full of lectures! You just need to believe in yourself and give it a try. I'm very excited about the process, even if the result does not look like much: what I learned in the process is what counts for me the most. And, of course, the fabulous reviews and suggestions from this fantastic community of fine developers, which is absolutely priceless!

Long Live Ludum Dare!

P.S.: Thanks a lot for "crisp graphics"! I certainly didn't expect to hear that.

When Nothing Came by velvetlobster 2019-10-09T03:44:40Z

Solid game overall. I finished it, but it's hard to tell whether I explored everything. Maybe it's just me... Very nice work! Keep it up!

Nothing is Everything by Yayiest 2019-10-07T01:12:50Z

a very solid gameplay. great stuff!

Tubizo and the Dark Detrimental Wizard of Chaos by Rolly 2019-10-06T23:58:47Z

the cat minion is adorable!

J'Accuse! by bobotast 2019-10-06T23:19:30Z

can't win it! :-)

Mighty Mighty Bot by JustusPan 2019-10-07T00:06:44Z

this game is way too difficult for me, but overall looks fun

No Body by lizelive 2019-10-06T23:41:52Z

weird stuff, but kinda fun for a while...

start with nothing by xart2012 2019-10-07T01:20:09Z

You could as well clone a PUBG game - there too, you start with nothing... But overall, fun stuff!

Grow Your Wolf by Ostrich 2019-10-07T23:19:34Z

Great stuff, fun game, just there is a bug after game is lost, the soundtrack layers on top of previous one so the two sound at the same time

little BEETLE bottle BATTLE by AP Thomson 2019-10-08T02:41:10Z

Great game, but the font is killing my eyes. I still didn't get what the water droplets are all about. But great fun overall!

💩 by panganaki 2019-10-07T21:02:41Z

Weird name, but the game is playable. Great start!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Slitherflip by Zathnic 2020-10-12T10:30:51Z

It worked on my Arch Linux machine, but I could not wrap my head around the game rules...

Ascend by almost 2020-10-08T20:57:16Z

Great stuff! I could not get above the roof level, but I noticed how the music changes with seasons.

Numpad Looper by dikkop 2020-10-09T14:45:29Z

Great stuff! Too easy!

Pendulum Jumps by svntax 2020-10-09T18:30:40Z

segfaults in Linux 64. What game engine is that?

Hoop Knight by lectvs 2020-10-08T21:12:55Z

great stuff! Quite playable! Level 4 was tough on me...

Groundhog Garden by svyatozar 2020-10-07T17:43:30Z

Greetings! Thanks a lot for the review! It took me a whole day to fix the jerky movement experience in client. It now runs smooth, so please give it a second chance. Gl hf!

Groundhog Garden by svyatozar 2020-10-08T19:08:33Z

Greetings, Los!

Thanks a lot for testing!

That other player was me, still playtesting and fixing bugs 3 days after event. Right when you finished the game the server crashed, so I had to put that bug on my to-do list as well...

I did notice that the bigger maps get way too complicated for human brain to handle. So I came up with an idea to let the people put a mark on the floor, that will stay even when the player loops. While another player is within your field of view, you will also see his/her marks. That's one way to communicate. What do you think?

Groundhog Garden by svyatozar 2020-10-09T11:50:17Z

Adil: could you please be more specific about fixes and improvements? I think it's way too obvious that any gamejam entry needs fixes and improvements, especially if you're a one man team. I'm literally exhausted at this moment. You can see from my previous game entries, that each time I'm trying something new, I'm not doing same game genre over and over.

Best regards and good luck with your game!

Groundhog Garden by svyatozar 2020-10-11T15:53:37Z

1. Yes, I wanted to make "character creation" page, but without login system it's not worth the effort. 2. They are not ghosts, they are glowing players. Once you find exit you start glowing until you find it again. Some people start calling them "divine". Lol!

Groundhog Garden by svyatozar 2020-10-12T10:24:21Z

Thanks a lot for playing and reviewing, @zathnic! I was afk for a while, but I saw your "HI ---" message when I came back.

Groundhog Garden by svyatozar 2020-10-12T19:08:00Z

@Doot indeed, I wanted to add more variety to map generation, but haven't had time for that left.

Quivering by SandPile 2020-10-10T11:18:32Z

Great game! not sure how to make it fullscreen though

Hamsta's Paradise by brookman 2020-10-07T17:38:53Z

Great little racer. This reminds me of Rhino the hamster from Bolt 2008 movie...

Wild Loop by Cerebral Bore 2020-10-10T15:22:04Z

I cought him like 5 times. Is there anything else to this game? Nice graphics. The far background layer moves jaggedly - a bug?

The Island by kuviman 2020-10-10T11:23:05Z

I found the treasure chest, but have no idea what to do with it...

Pillars of Anguish by Outfrost 2020-10-10T15:07:32Z

to whoever came up with "Esc" joke: that joke was not funny. --rating.humor

The Trade Secret by Milestone Games 2020-10-08T21:31:13Z

Great little game. Controls are a bit awkward: having to press Enter, then Space is a bit strange. Why not just space for both "use" and "exit"?

Keyspace by Jon Topielski 2020-10-08T22:50:12Z

weird thing: I could not move the button with the mouse. Chromium browser in Linux

Hall Of Mirrors by cookie042 2020-10-09T19:16:36Z

great stuff, works in Linux.

Sisyphus Beetle Takes His Daughter to Work by pee-thief 2020-10-08T22:42:02Z

a bit weird, but unlike some other games it's simple and playable.

Car Looper by Snotax 2020-10-08T21:02:28Z

Great idea, just maybe more convenient input would be nice.

Catnap by CondeSluck 2020-10-08T22:33:19Z

This game is way too complicated for me :-)

CircleRun by PvPlayz27 2020-10-12T19:06:39Z

Fun little game :-)

The Cursed Knight by djayne 2020-10-08T21:18:55Z

nice little platformer, but the sound effects are a bit annoying. Do something about them pls :-)

Time Saver by Daniikk1012 2020-10-09T12:12:13Z

The game is really fun! Too bad there is only one level :-(

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Diggurai by svyatozar 2021-04-27T03:00:18Z

Yea, I agree, I made this game way too hard. It's better to keep it simple for the jams, I guess.

Diggurai by svyatozar 2021-04-28T22:44:16Z

Anuke, thanks a lot for review. I tried hard not to make any dead ends. There is Restart option in the pause menu just in case. The only intentional fall possibility is only in the very end of the game.

Diggurai by svyatozar 2021-04-29T22:13:37Z

Labete @labete Did you reach the blue sky though? That's the end of the game actually. Congratulations! Some people find this map hard, to others it's a walk in the park. It's very hard to please everybody :-)

Diggurai by svyatozar 2021-04-29T22:17:00Z

Brainloaf Studio (@brainloaf-studio) I hear you! In fact, I'm a big fan of boulderdash clones, and it's a shame that I could not come up with some cool digging puzzle with boulders and stuff. I guess it's what happens in stressful situations.

Diggurai by svyatozar 2021-04-30T06:37:06Z

Tanner Shelton (@tanner-shelton), Link270 (@link270), actually, that's a part of the challenge: be careful not to remove too much. It's the Boulderdash type of mechanic.

Sblaaf!! by Thob 2021-04-28T22:15:12Z

Great stuff! Did you make any audio? Cause if you did not, you should not be rated in that category. It adds to mood though. Great work overall!

Super Mole Bro by simon.parzer 2021-04-28T21:55:52Z

Great game overall. What annoys me is how easy it is to unintentionally dig an extra square.

T-Minus by michaelaranda 2021-04-27T02:35:41Z

Very impressive for the first game! Keep up the good work!

Blackout by Frasse 2021-04-28T23:14:02Z

Great characters, awesome music, dark humor.

Solar Subs by Simpathey 2021-04-27T02:58:20Z

great stuff!

Descension AI by Chrispy977 2021-04-27T02:18:41Z

Great stuff! Controls are a bit complicated. But overall great game with lots of content.

Descension AI by Chrispy977 2021-04-27T02:26:31Z

You know, you can still fix control issues after sumbitting the game. Of course, only after a good night sleep...

Rooting Deeper and Deeper LD48 by fuzzypurplepixel 2021-04-28T23:30:25Z

Neat branching trick.

Cyberchmunk by Mats Sæter 2021-04-28T22:04:23Z

Nice little platformer, but where is the theme and audio? Did I miss something?

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

🌸 Vernal 🌼 by kyyninen 2018-04-25T07:33:34Z

Weird game, but it has funny sound effects

Quadsoup by thevaber 2018-04-24T19:13:58Z

This game is playable, and scary, but not very engaging. Are the levels automatically generated?

Rock Reach Flag by willowblade 2018-04-25T07:18:17Z

A totally playable game, needs better graphics and a more convenient action selection mechanism.

Quizoids by Dan Violet Sagmiller 2018-04-25T07:27:38Z

The game is playable, good try!

Scarry by Memel06 2018-04-24T18:48:06Z

I could not test microphone, but even without it the game is quite playable and scary.

Tetris Crush Saga by Colisan 2018-04-23T20:45:55Z

Blending tetris and 4-in-a-row surely works!

Super Bario Man by tgb20 2018-04-23T20:30:31Z

It's certainly playable, and the graphics is nice. The music is too repetitive and gets really annoying after a while. But overall it's a good try. I know, two days, no team - it's tough.

Shuffle Climber by miroky 2018-04-25T15:32:55Z
