LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Snowman Sumo by AtkinsSJ 2014-12-10T15:34:00

Best sound effects ever :D

Factory Fit by TheH 2014-12-09T17:47:00

I like the basic idea behind this, but i think u need just a little bit more time to polish the produktion chain and add more combinations off produkts ;)
Also there is so much space that u could import so much produkt that the game starts to lag.

Crang! by Capro 2014-12-14T12:02:00

i´ll give it a random rating... just to stick with the theme :)

One of Many by SloZigec 2014-12-09T17:56:00

Just add some music, a highscore, and the difficultys should be different levels. But then it would be great game.

Santa's Seasonal Slayfest by GarethIW 2014-12-11T20:40:00

lack of controll for the player leads to a mediocre gameplay. Anyways, i liked the humor and the graphics

Goblin Crown Fever by Nekith 2014-12-09T02:17:00

thats an awesome game! i love the music theme

Scan Lines by KilledByAPixel 2014-12-09T02:12:00

good idea, good style. I don´t like the level design, but maybe it´s just to confusing because of lack of sleep :)

The Icing on the Cake by Binary Gambit 2014-12-09T02:40:00

I gotta give this my full love! Was awesome working with you and your game turned out to be a real gem.

Doll house: q-Be or not q-Be by Liam :D 2014-12-09T16:46:00

It´s impressive how much has been done in 48h, but it lacks gameplay and it´s not really on one screen. Maybe a bit too ambitious idea for such a short time, but as a first step for a prototype more than well done!

Pocket Contra Force by nodoxi 2014-12-09T16:34:00

very nice an good controls, but to easy because of the level dewsign

Screen One by Ranmara 2014-12-09T01:48:00

Awesome graphics, but the speech bubbles are pretty hard to read. Overall nicely done!

Frosty Ninja by belva1234 2014-12-09T17:03:00

Well sung! This one was fun

Eggogatchi by sebasRez 2014-12-11T18:56:00

Great Game!!!

Watch your head! by StejkRobot 2014-12-09T22:53:00

The graphics look nice but sadly i can't beat level 2 because of randomlie dying and press any key dosent work. It was also hard for me to gues on which block i will land.
But i also made a isometric game ones and know how hard hight is ;)

Tiny Thermopylae by Waschtl 2014-12-09T10:23:00

It would be better if the dead bodies despawn faster because it gets hard to see anything at the end.
The game itself feels like a nice little reaction game.
Maybe for later development you could implement levels and upgrades for the units.

The Room by Spilim 2014-12-09T18:36:00

well done. it´s fun to play, even if i didn´t really understood, what exactly to avoid ;)

Pixplorer by Nega Drive 2014-12-09T10:03:00

Great overall game and music. But i often got stuck because of the jumping mechanics. I think the jumping parts work better if you dont float trough the air and have more controll over the jump.

Carrot Chaos by GoudaGames 2014-12-14T11:52:00

Ok, we had very similar ideas here. check out our game also:
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=47053
btw i got 23 carrots in the first attempt :)

Screen Escape by bessdlan 2014-12-09T10:39:00

I also got stuck/frustrated on the first Icefox level.
After some time i had no problems to stack 2 boxes. But it was impossible for me to get the box and myself to the next slope at the same time.
Now some good words :D
The game has a nice story and the physic puzzle games are a nice idea.

Squishi by uncade 2014-12-13T12:51:00

Over the top gameplay and content for a jam-game

Maze Escape by Gins 2014-12-11T22:44:00

Wow... simply amazing controls, features and level design. A little to hard for me to get the yellow key, but impressive game design

Souls by friken 2014-12-09T20:14:00

nice graphics and mood. Music and gamplay is a bit repetitive

Android Attack by callum.thepro 2014-12-17T16:21:00

I need informations about the towers and general more stats.

Treasure Quest by ruerob 2014-12-11T20:33:00

it crashed after a few minutes

Bugged Out by InfectionTeam 2014-12-09T17:21:00

Very nice use of the theme. The controls feel a little bit off

Snamwons Revenge by yodamaster 2014-12-09T12:02:00

one of the best gameplaymechanics i´ve seen so far. it´s a real challenge, but allways fair.

Infection by Appocket 2014-12-10T14:09:00

The controls are to hard. But the rest of the game is fun.

OJiJi by Xorboo 2014-12-09T02:23:00

It really lacks content... but thats just because the game, the idea and the puzzles are awesome and i want more. Awesome work!

Snowbert by spacedoubt 2014-12-09T17:40:00

wanna know, what happens, if you don´t give him his nose? Check out my game :p

A Fine White Line by Taunia Sabanski 2014-12-13T13:03:00

Stellar music and theme, unfortunally the controlls are a little bit of.

Frankfurt Ludum Dare Venue - Keeper by gladers 2014-12-09T03:49:00

It´s actually very creepy! Big up for the music and the smooth controls.

The Shift by SoulGame 2014-12-09T03:57:00

Pretty neat! As soon as you start to get better, the more fun it is, comboing stuff together :) Thats good Game design, guys!

Swotch by Ulydev 2014-12-11T15:05:00

it reminds me of super hexagon. Great addicting game.

Snake Rider by ETHproductions 2014-12-09T02:03:00

nicely done!

SMBH (Survival Meets Bullet Hell) by Coolway99 2014-12-10T12:27:00

The sounds are great. Maybe add a highscore and just one or two upgrades and the game is finished ;)

Space Iron by Caspila 2014-12-11T10:21:00

Just add some upgrades :D

GTAlien by Pulsartronic 2014-12-13T23:44:00

WoW, Graphics and Animations are very well done. Awesome entry for a jam!

RGB Shooter by MMOOxy 2014-12-10T12:47:00

Nice Concept

Temple Swapper by rayman1900 2014-12-09T18:41:00

nice idea, but in the end the mechanic is not working very well... at least in this state

Road to Heaven by frenzyasii 2014-12-09T01:58:00

Nice Athmo, nice design. On the Gameplay-side it´s a little slow paced and lacks some gameplay and functionality. But nice work anyways

Stay Frosty by trenchgames 2014-12-13T23:57:00

Nice game, very fun to play, even if the aim-machanic is not very well done, at least in my opinion.
But the idea is fresh and it´s very well executed. I would love to see you guys upload the source-files

Escape Character by Zi 2014-12-13T12:37:00

Wow, awesome idea

The Hyperbeam by pk 2014-12-10T13:11:00

Awesome puzzle game. I did take some time at the end but it was worth it.

SPIN-2 by hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09T15:23:00

wow, polished and awesome music!

Rage Game--Survival by Rowan123 2014-12-10T11:29:00

raaaaege, i hate this game! Ok, one more try.

Fadin by XTremEive 2014-12-11T16:10:00

Where can i get the music :D

Eat fruits by piotrevic 2014-12-10T12:21:00

Solid minigame. Just add some music and done.

Kinescop by martial_cantarel_games 2014-12-13T23:48:00

Awesome music!

Ragtown by indie4fun 2014-12-09T17:10:00

very appealing visuals

Of Carrots And Blood by Trite Games 2014-12-09T23:04:00

Well, we ha a pretty similar idea... kind of ;)
If you want to play another carrot defender, check out our game :)

Well done, mate!

CUBE Clicker by Polyganz 2014-12-13T12:25:00

What have you done noooooooo....
click click click aww nice shader click click click

LD33 — You are the Monster

Milky Helps People by reheated 2015-08-25T22:18:00

Wow! I want more Levels. The mechanics are super fun and addictive. With the right strategy it´s very possible to get around even the more complex levels, which is key to good puzzle mechanics. So you start of with a very complex level, but the complexity reduces very nicely with every sure turn you take, which again makes other turn mandatory. It has a bit of the feeling of solving a sodoku, but the right amount of trial and error. This mechanics are a gem!

NotZilla: Ice Cream Vendor by RisingPixel 2015-08-25T22:13:00

very awesome. Good use of the theme!

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Personal Valley by Backterria 2015-12-16T23:44:00

I totally love the mood!

Mobsferatu by CremaGames 2015-12-18T12:31:00

Incredible polish in 72 hours

Director Morse by tompudding 2015-12-15T23:27:00

neat idea, though i can´t say that i got much going. I would also suggest for the sake of getting more people to see your game in action to reduce the difficulty. i would really like to know what i could do in the game :)

Stavros the DAVROS by DustyStylus 2015-12-26T10:32:00

somehow physics based games with clunky controls are allways fun

PISTIL PISTOL: BOTANY BLAST II by HacksawUnit 2015-12-26T10:37:00

cool idea and great music!

Roguebots by TijmenTio 2015-12-16T22:58:00

impressive gameplay :)

Shroomys quest for fuel by StMatn 2015-12-16T13:01:00

Great game! Simply moving through the levels with the unique controls is enjoyable. The game can get a tedious at times, especially when split in two different locations, and the tutorial images are a bit hard to decipher. Other than that though, it's a cool and well executed concept!

Grow, Thrive, Evolve by Taffaz 2015-12-26T10:28:00

eat everything... nice concept :)

Carrot Stories by JaviCepa 2015-12-15T19:24:00

Really moody entry. Just relaxing being a bunny after 3 days of being a coder!
I totally love the voxel Artstyle. Specially the animations and the nice little details in the world really make the diffrence. I would almost use the word "immersive" here.
Eating carrots and staying away from foxes is a bit repetative, and the Story presentation is a bit confusing. But all concidered a really great game. Impressive!

Huebot Mazerunner by Binary Gambit 2015-12-15T19:36:00

interesting much fun it is even that the queueing mechanic is not in the game in the end. cutting corners and getting faster kept me going for a while. The Pixel art is really cool though!

Unknown by Eshford 2015-12-26T10:51:00

the buttonsounds could have been better, since they don´t fit the music

Growees by NickZangus 2015-12-17T00:29:00

My Fav so far! So smooth and polished handling, nice mechanics and awesome graphics. really something wich stands out by a lot out of all the entrys

Zen Jen by fluidvolt 2015-12-15T19:46:00

Not much of a game, but certainly some piece of art! I totally dig you take on meditation. reading the distractions actually distracts. and focussing on catching pixels is calming. i could have need this DURING the jam a few times :)

CHILL PILL by alvarop 2015-12-16T00:47:00

Addictive and the music tunedown when you loose is a neat idea

Cipolletti by psychonull 2015-12-15T19:20:00

Good game, the graphic style is nice and consistent, and the visual aids make the two button controls enjoyable. The intro was a little long and it would be nice to be able to speed up dialogue, though.

Fifi's Space Program by MintArcade 2015-12-16T01:35:00

Lovely idea to make the theme a theme in game :)

Deceit by xWarZonex 2015-12-26T10:43:00

spooky... and thats really an achievement for a jam game

StarShibe by gladers 2015-12-15T04:24:00

What... an almost complete StarFox game made in 3 Days? Thats just impressive

Legendary Legionnaire Massacre 2 by banana4life 2015-12-15T23:02:00

Very satisfiing gameplay! And the song in the end is sticky! Great and creative work.

net_forget by Os_Reboot 2015-12-26T10:50:00

clever!

Super Space HexaGUN by pk 2015-12-15T23:17:00

Nice... i had a similar idea, while brainstorming ideas. Nice that someone has made it and actually THAT well executed. The only bummer were the controls, since the directions were relative to the ships orientation and not to the screenspace.

BloatBlaster by the-arrival 2015-12-15T22:35:00

Thanks for the Feedback so far and your kind comments! On the mechanics i agree that we could have told them better. The Idea is to WAIT when stuff gets too big (blinking red, shaking) until they shrink again, before continue shooting. What was pretty clear for us, seems to confuse a lot of people. Lesson learned how much you lack objectivity, when you are the creator :)

Spellblast by Tonal Recall Games 2015-12-15T20:14:00

For german keyboard users the controlls are awefull. z and x are NOT next to eachother on our boards. Anyway... challenge accepted! funny game, cool Art and great humor. Themewise i would say thats NOT what two-button controll or growing intended ;)
I had fun anyway!

Just a fatty cat by logon13 2015-12-15T03:58:00

I don´t get the (two button) contolls :) I´m just turning, not moving. But the Assets are nice!

The Winter by sydan 2015-12-17T00:17:00

Awesome music and art. Gameplay could have a bit more depth, but definatly impressive for a 2 days work!

Interstellar Cruise by Drauthius 2015-12-26T10:26:00

ambitious!

Solstand by bloomingbuds 2015-12-26T10:30:00

AMAZING asthetics

Cave Swing by ajmalr 2015-12-16T23:19:00

Really really fun and a good theme-entry. Awesome and one of the few two-buttons game wich is just great fun!

3:LLIS - PROTOCOL : PROTECT PLANTLIFE by LeClaw 2015-12-16T23:06:00

i like the music a lot. little confusing gameplay and weird but jucy jump behavior. Good game!

Jeff is having issues controlling his appetite by Ittai Manero 2015-12-15T22:08:00

Uhh... nice Art. If i would ever make an Adventure i would choose exactly this kind of art, mood and humor. Very sad that it´s so unfinished atm.

Attack of Tomato by hiki911 2015-12-26T10:20:00

even if the mechanics are not new, it fits the two button controls.

Turbo Tram Drift by Drury 2015-12-17T00:00:00

nice... as pointed out in the stream i don´t like the wobble, but besides that great fun

Snake3D by fpwong 2015-12-16T01:05:00

Very very good idea!

TRONZO by Tykev 2015-12-15T22:09:00

Superb! The physics-based controls are simple and enjoyable, and the game is very addicting. The menu design, music, and particle effects all help to give the game a strong visual style and as a result it feels incredibly polished! Great job!

Long Long: A snake lies in the Past by Tapehead 2015-12-18T13:17:00

looks and sounds very good. coming out of pause mode and some weird leveldesigns made this game feel a bit unfair

Friendly Fire by Osaft 2015-12-15T04:05:00

Burn it down! Nice Idea on the two-button theme. In some way it also fits "growing" :p

Venus and the Flies by fractalbear 2015-12-15T20:03:00

it definatly would need some progress/life/foodbar. right now i have no idea what i´m.... wait, a fly *nomnomnom*

Frantic Farming by Fidrik 2015-12-15T20:26:00

The controlls were a bit off and i´m missing music in my little garden :) Sometimes stuff died, even if i was sure to water them enough... just like in my living room.

Tensions by MadmenProductions 2015-12-15T20:09:00

Good concept, but it feels like an early prototype. Your actions don't seem to have any real consequence, and people seem to shift from acceptance to displeasure at random. It would be great to see the idea fleshed out.

Weed : The Incremental Game by Wicked7000 2015-12-15T22:27:00

i didn´t got the mechanics quite. at first i thought that you need the dealers to geth money out of the stuff you are growing. The Weedcounter also pointed in that direction. but after buying loads of dealers i can´t get this money to shrink at all. also dealers have no effect on the weed/s counter, so what do they do then?

A Shot in the Dark by thecatspajamas 2015-12-18T12:16:00

Really neat Idea and execution! I love it

Ellivmraf by nicso 2015-12-18T12:54:00

Nice concept... the music is really moody
