This was amazing. I absolutely loved your last LD entry but this was even better. I can't help but give it an almost 5 star rating across the board. The game play works perfectly and kept me amused for the last half an hour. I really really like getting those promotions!
This game is quite fun, but also gets hard quite quickly. I would suggest making 'eating' automatic as I just found myself spamming ENTER. Love the art style and the take on the theme was hilarious!
This made me laugh out loud :)
This was amazing. The mechanic is brilliant. It's like snake but better. I want more. I want much more. The graphics and audio are also very appealing.
Modern art. Fantastically done.
At first I thought that this was going to be impossible to play, but then I got into a rhythm and it was just perfect! All round a good-un!
This was really fun! I was very engrossed playing it, it's very simple yet perfectly challenging!
Good fun to play and quite unique in this competition! One thing that bugged me though, the mech's feel weak... They just don't stand up to much.
This looks incredible however just getting on the sword was a bit of a control nightmare. I had to jump right on to the end of it and frequently failed making dying and replaying an unfriendly experience. The font was also not a great choice as it took me a while to work out that it meant z and not 2. Aesthetically polished, but could do with some work mechanically.
Probably my favourite game of Ludum Dare so far. This should really be put onto the market as something sell-able. The one thing I think could be done more would be a clearer tactical advantage in game for different genemons.
Amazing game! I wish I had someone to play it with! The theme idea is so unique and the game is really polished! Congratulations!
Very relaxing but somewhat confusing. I wasn't certain what I was supposed to be doing but I really enjoyed the art and innovative idea driving the gameplay!
Great point and click puzzle adventure! Just the right level of difficulty for me! I finished it without getting bored! Well done!
5 stars for graphics and mood. This game was beautiful. I think the gameplay and movement needed some work though, however the story kept it going!
It's interesting to see another person do a game with a blind character. I congratulate you on being braver than me and going for a more accurate and physical representation! The experience was certainly interesting. Two things I felt: the left click sound was very harsh, it could have been more subtle, and the mechanic doesn't really line up with the theme.
I had to stop playing because I put over half an hour into this game. Really good and loads to do but very challenging!
I like the story and the originality but sometimes I'd find that I'd collide with a rock when move past it just as I'd move up or down. It felt like their bounding box was a bit big. I didn't feel that death by the side of a rock was necessary.
I love the ending it made me laugh. Also I like how it was one long well built boss battle and the tutorial was useful. It did get a bit predictable though, I could easily dodge.
DAT SLOW MO. Best thing ever. It didn't quite line up but that just made it more awesome! I lept towards this huge group of zombies and I was moving in slow mo and then I came out of the dive and just killed them all really fast! Fun game, though I wouldn't say that the weapon is very unconventional?
This is a fun little game! However as some have said it is too easily, sadly this can make it dull quickly, if I had half the amount of money to play with I would have had to really think about my choices, so I sort of played it that way to see what it was like and I really enjoyed it! I like your take on the theme!
This is an awesome game. I loved the audio, definitely the best part but the art is good too and the gameplay is solid in all directions. So surprised to see a 'level up' choice screen and so happy about it too! Played this for way too long. My only issue was that I thought I was invincible when I transformed :(
Gorgeous game. I love the mechanic, the art style, there's a lot of content here too. My only gripe would be that there wasn't enough confirmation that I'd completed a puzzle sometimes so I'd just keep trying but otherwise awesome!
This was really fun. I enjoyed every moment playing it, even failing was satisfying. The entire system was intuitive and easy to grasp yet brilliantly challenging and engaging. If I could as for one thing it would be for a new mechanic to turn up, some new way to develop the idea but the game is also brilliant in its simplicity.
This was interesting, certainly different and the humour made me want to play, just actually wanted it to develop into some awesome guitar smashing gameplay. I feel like so much time was spent on building up the story and tutorial in a brilliant wacky way that it deserves more.
Loved the art style, it was beautiful and the mood of the environment kept me hooked. The dogs were hard to kill, harder than the guard and I had to play it a few times to get 3 keys but I did manage it. The combat could have been easier to handle.
I like the challenge of this but I think the enemies are just a little too fast. Timing hits on them is very tricky, would have also been nice if they had some more immediately identifiable art.
This is really amusing and the sounds effects and overall style made me laugh! Really enjoyed it! If I had to ask for one thing in the future it would be some computer controlled rats to race against I think.
The controls for this game were very hard to use, and I'm not sure 'I got it'. But the art was well done and I feel that the message works if you understand what you're try to say.
Interesting but I feel like it could have added a new mechanic or something after the second level. The game didn't develop over time, it just became the same thing but just more of it.
I found this quite amusing! There wasn't much gameplay so much as just rolling through the conversations and you move very slowly. I also found that you can get stuck on the door leaving from the room with the VHS player.
Took a while to work out how to play but once I did it got quite fun. Then it got super hard. I feel that your QnA about J enemies in unnecessary, I would just make them a little less tough to kill. It takes a while to get your head round the crafting and to even ensure that you get the money and parts so it would have been better if that barrier to entry was not so high. I must say the crafting was brilliant though! I love my SUPER SPIKE SWORD.
When I hit enter to start the game closes! :( This is on Windows 8 64bit, Exe download.
I'm going to refrain from rating this for the moment because I think the laser beams need to render before I can play it properly and rate the mechanics. I can imagine it would be quite fun if they worked!
I really enjoyed this. I played all the levels and finally got the hang of the mechanic. It took me a while to work out that I needed to use my body to change the oscillation of some of the boxes but once I got that it was really fun! I love the short little story and the art and music is pleasing!
This is really interesting and unique. I found the puzzle to be a little difficult to grasp at first but when I got it I really enjoyed the mechanic! What's best about it is the story though. It is roughly hewn but it grips you and really do want to know more about what's going on!
Windows PC download doesn't contain a playable build :(
An interesting concept. Sadly I found the text at the start didn't work so I didn't full understand what was going on. The controls a little tricky, especially the dive bombing. Certainly unique and interesting though!
This game is thematically brilliant and beautiful to look at. The pixel art makes me drool. However I'm struggling with the mechanic. I think I understand what I need to do, it's just very difficult to line up the trajectory of the sword with the thing you want to hit.
This was really endearing and cute to play, the voice that comes in when you bark too much made me laugh. I found myself getting quickly overwhelmed by the shadows though.
The difficulty curve on this game is high, be sure to read the description to understand how to play. However once you get into it it's a really challenging and run mechanic to work with and the turn around time on failure is so fast it doesn't matter if you die a lot.
Really enjoyed playing this! It took me quite a long time to realise that each enemy had a type listed at the top, but I'm probably just really really tired. Still I got there in the end and when I did I started winning. Great take on the theme!
Quite a fun game, I really like the mechanic. I love how you can bunny hop through the game and also along sets of walls. The glow makes it hard to see the edge of the level a lot though and not knowing where you end up when you use the staff sometimes leads to some irritating deaths.
Brilliant game so far. Actually laughed out loud! The game play and dialogue is fluid and interesting. The theme is hilarious! When the character dies he says funny lines, my favourite being 'At least I had [insert unconventional weapon here]'.
Hilariously stupid and funny at first. Does slow down a bit as the enemy (dragons?) are quite hard to kill without spamming millions of pianos!! Which is awesome, however the audio layers on top of itself a lot which becomes jarring. Needs more playing to see how far I can get though, definitely has that 'see how far you can get' feel.
The game started out very fun, light-hearted and amusing, but I think I found a few gameplay/programming issues. You can't see your mouse, so knowing where you're shooting is really difficult, and after defeating all of the slimes in the second room I couldn't proceed, but wasn't sure why. I checked the entire room.
I like this. It's got tactics to it, I haven't quite mastered the game play yet.
LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing (34)
Slash Quest by Big Green Pillow ft Mgaia 2015-12-17T19:23:00
Sadly this game is almost unplayable for me on Windows 10. It is super smooth up until the monsters spawn and then it lags so badly I can't position my sword! I tried lowering the quality settings and screen resolution but it makes no difference :( I really want to play it! It looks amazing!
Dungeon Wheel by BeardyBard 2015-12-15T22:00:00
The mechanics in this game are awesome. However I got to the point where I could not do any damage to an enemy at all on a certain spinner and now I'm just stuck :( he has 5 shield and I have 4 attack. I think attacks should always do at least 1 damage to avoid that problem.
Carrot Stories by JaviCepa 2015-12-15T18:00:00
This was awesome! I played it for ages and got loads of rabbits but they all died really quickly!
Slash & Dash by Fartenko 2015-12-15T17:16:00
I liked this, the animation was great! Would have like the slash bar to refill ever so slightly though as I found moments were I could do neither abilities so I just took damage.
Snow Goat Avalanche by loxo 2015-12-14T21:30:00
My girlfriend played this and enjoyed it, then got me to play it too :) I thought the goat flying out of the snowball was very amusing! Wish there were more avalanche effects.
Snowballin' by Frenchie 2015-12-14T21:29:00
My girlfriend and I played this game and we both loved it! At first we didn't know if the ball was growing but once we got the hang of it we really enjoyed the mechanic! Congrats on the great game!
Grow Up! by sergear 2015-12-14T17:00:00
Fits the theme very well and the overall feel of the game was wonderful, I loved the art style. The only annoying thing was bouncing balls... they always hit me before I could react.
Tama Battle! by midgard 2015-12-14T16:46:00
I really like this!! I'm going to keep it open in the background and keep playing :)
FLOW by Romixal 2015-12-14T16:31:00
I'm not sure if the concept of the game is to make you question your own choices? Mixed feelings about this one.
Temple of Gh'Ro by Studiosaurus 2015-12-14T15:38:00
Very interesting concept! I got a little stuck on some bits, particularly a hole in the middle where I couldn't find a way out... I love the art style though :)
spin-circle by Modoc73 2015-12-14T15:15:00
I found the difficulty on this just right. It was full of good design choices and plays really well. Congrats!
Black White War by vicious_br 2015-12-14T15:10:00
I noticed that the only real strategy is to make sure you get the freeze powerup. It's an interesting idea but I think it balances itself out too much.
Concrete Jungle by Miltage 2015-12-14T15:04:00
How brilliant! That vine growing mechanic is spot on and the whole game in general was very well made.
BOOST by Tuism 2015-12-14T13:26:00
At first I tried to control the ship in little bursts, trying to use minute control to accurately dodge and destroy blocks but I realised its a lot easier just to press and hold both buttons... on most levels this will complete it almost automatically... In general though this is really polished and great fun! Congrats!
When I Grow Up I Want to be by Lancelot Gao 2015-12-14T13:21:00
Very nice! I loved the different choices of 'what I want to be' being weapons and the art is very pretty. Wish the camera would move faster with me though.
Grow big or go home by jeroenimooo 2015-12-14T13:15:00
This is really good. I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic placement of checkpoints. Really kept me playing. I wish I could see my mouse though...
Santa Delivery Service by RuinWalker 2015-12-14T13:05:00
I love the concept but actually landing the jump when the bells chime was a little too tricky. Shame there's no sound but the art was pretty!
Snowblind by Pete_H 2015-12-14T13:01:00
I really enjoyed this! I liked building big forests and then chopping them all down. Would have been good to have some opposition though, like raiders you have to fend off or a snow storm...
Spider's web by mortus 2015-12-14T12:45:00
I really enjoyed this! The mechanics are awesome! I've always wondered what it would be like to be a spider... :P
Snake Dog by Waynetron 2015-12-14T12:35:00
This is adorable and the controls are really solid. The dog sounds were brilliant and the art is just the right amount of quirky! I love this is simple application of the theme too.
Puzzlerun by velddev 2015-12-14T12:30:00
I like the mood and it definitely is a puzzle runner! Sometimes it was unclear how I would need to move to avoid some danger and I seemed to slide over them making it appear that I'd hit them but there was no penalty... Otherwise great stuff!
Roll-Ball by mukult 2015-12-14T12:23:00
This is interesting, I felt it started a bit fast and the jumping parts confused me a bit, but generally solid.
Wargrow by Mixer 2015-12-14T12:18:00
That flying beanstalk of doom... so powerful. Kinda wish it wasn't because the game sort of just ends up being about getting $60 and then winning. It would have been cool if the enemies got stronger or faster towards the end.
Cornzilla by Saymon 2015-12-14T12:11:00
The idea around the controls was actually really cool! I loved mastering it. The game was a little easy though.
Uni Ika by cinnamonmelonpig 2015-12-14T12:05:00
This is really cool! I love the game concept. The music had a nice beat to it and I gradually got into a rhythm with the sushi!
Just Me and Only Me Against The World by adamgryu 2015-12-14T04:33:00
Loads of fun! I will probably come back and play this again :) love the art style.
Cave Swing by ajmalr 2015-12-14T04:16:00
I really wanted to be able to hold LMB to keep the rope there rather than press on and press off... but otherwise a good game :)
Hanabi by LittleThor 2015-12-14T04:16:00
On the WebGL one I get unknown compress method as an error...
Super Lefty Garden Fighty by hexagore 2015-12-14T03:55:00
Really original idea. The art is fantastic and the game feels fluid! Congrats!
Milgram by Kortuga 2015-12-14T03:48:00
Brilliant voice over. Very impressive concept. Amazing hidden ending. 5 stars.
Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-14T03:35:00
This is a very interesting take on both themes! And an interesting kind of game! The effort put into the dialog makes every click worth it!
Ethereal by PixlWalkr 2015-12-14T03:27:00
So relaxing!! Loved the audio, the only thing I wasn't keen on was the shooting mechanic... it just didn't fit with the peacefulness of the world. I was hoping for something more zen...
S.E.N.T.I.N.E.L. by rnlf 2015-12-14T03:18:00
Loved the terminal and the graphics was nice, but it was hard to hit the slimes. Found myself shuffling a lot and getting hit without doing any damage back...
SEED by sputnik 2015-12-14T03:11:00
I love the puzzles in this! Very good level design, and the art and sound are very pleasing. I agree with salmonmoose though, the plants take a long time to grow...
