LD33 — You are the Monster

Super Dino Dino Attack by FrederickK 2015-08-30T04:35:00

was fun but sometimes I just continually died when I spawned :P

Roaring City Destruction by Noxlof 2015-08-24T09:02:00

Really nice and polished :) I found it allot of fun.

Monster Pizza by dalbinblue 2015-08-26T05:14:00

Very cool and difficult. I loved the take on the theme.

Night Terrors by Loginaut 2015-09-14T05:24:00

Quite a nice game! I liked the idea, the main drawback that I found was how slow the game play was, but I think that could be preference :)

Separated by rxi 2015-08-24T03:22:00

I loved the atmosphere :D and I don't know whether you were intending on it but I felt quite lost.

Sticky-me by Fonserbc 2015-08-30T04:45:00

Really liked the puzzle idea and the sticky mechanic worked quite well :) was a fun game to figure out.

People Muncher by AxeTheory 2015-08-24T04:30:00

I liked the concept and It was an ok game as it all worked, but I wish there were something more unique about it :) I hope this helps.
It also took me a min to realize you were supposed to shake the people into his mouth and not drop the cars.

Orange Squares...Beware! by Benn 2015-08-24T09:10:00

This was allot of fun and was very unique. nice work!
theme though?

Squid Pro Quo by TijmenTio 2015-08-26T05:30:00

I really like this game but believe it would be allot more fun to play on a touchscreen device :) as said by someone else. very polished and it works with the theme. Good job!

From SLIME to KING by Druid 2015-08-30T04:31:00

This was a cool game but was really difficult :P that is what kept me playing though and it was quite fun :D GG

My Cup of Fury by One Seed Fruit 2015-08-25T09:38:00

This is a good concept and the graphics look quite nice I just had issues getting the controls to work well and even after full screening the game still found it difficult :) but I liked the original idea.

Possession by ComicSans 2015-09-14T21:47:00

Nice game! I liked learning the mechanics of the creatures and trying to use them to pass the level.

A Long Night by guoboism 2015-08-24T08:35:00

got my heart racing a little ;) and it is a lot more polished than most other games. Overall I thought it was quite impressive that you pulled this off in 48 hours. (especially with that opening animation)

Good job!

Web Spinner by APC 2015-08-25T04:34:00

I really liked this game :) have been a subscriber of yours on youtube for a long time now and was quite exited to see that you had also participated. I liked the mechanic however unfortunately I received this crash (the same crash as the person earlier):

There's Plenty of Fish in the Sea by kaype 2015-08-26T05:19:00

Nice visual style and game idea, I really enjoyed it.

Orc Death Games by Cynapse 2015-08-24T05:06:00

Simple, but is fast and fun however couldn't find the quit function so just forced closed it. is it a trap? :DD anyway I enjoyed my stay.

Shape-Shift Escape by keyboardmonkey 2015-08-30T02:50:00

Really fun! I kind of wish you were able to do the wrong thing and get found out rather than being told that you couldn't do it though. Overall it was a very good game though.

Hero Mate by Lancelot Gao 2015-09-14T21:28:00

Perfect :D I loved it! please build more levels and make a larger game with this concept ;)

Mobs, Inc. by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-08-30T04:18:00

PERFECT :D GG I loved it! the promotion screen was hilarious, the enemies were unique and the special abilities were allot of fun!

Antimon by ViKing Games 2015-08-24T08:55:00

Does what it tries to do well and not too many surprises.
I really enjoyed it :)

GH4ST by Shaun LeBron 2015-08-29T02:34:00

Really liked the game concept and a clean style.

HUNGRY CTHULHU by KodingNights 2015-08-24T08:26:00

I quite liked it however allot of the time I didn't understand what some graphics were and I had 1 point still on my health when it said that I died.

otherwise though, the game was very fun. one of the better ones.

The Monster Within by Cheetoturkey 2015-08-24T06:50:00

collisions are very off and jumping to the second floor at one point sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't so I'm unfortunately unable to continue but what I've seen looks promising, I just wish I could tell If I were successfully hitting with sound ques or something :)

Blobs are stupid by thebmxeur 2015-09-14T21:55:00

Hey this was a really cool game! would have been better if there was a score or some drive to keep playing. but the mechanics of the game were well polished.

YOU ARE THE TRUCK by foodzilla 2015-09-14T21:52:00

reminds me of the racing games on some older cellpohones with its three position driving. Could be a cool concept to bring a game that uses that style and expands upon it.

A Peaceful Farm Stroll by iMer 2015-08-24T08:42:00

I think you have made a good game I believe you should aim to improve on your character design and very simple graphics despite the short time frame :D

Soup by JoshDBB 2015-08-26T05:08:00

Really cool little toy that looks really nice and might make a good game if expanded upon :)

Grave by uheartbeast 2015-08-29T19:18:00

I really loved how the game felt to play :) I loved the art style and thought that overall it was very polished for a 48 hour entry.

An usual Day In a Troll's life by ajopart 2015-08-25T07:59:00

This is a decent start however there were a lot of ways to get out of the map and sometimes I would hit nothing yet still loose. I don't know why this would happen :)

Release The Kraken by AndyGates 2015-08-24T08:20:00

Really cool entry! I loved every part even if the controls are quite hard to use perfectly.

Lich Rising by juxipolo 2015-09-14T05:55:00

Decent game throughout :)

Fired by Evergreen Games 2015-08-24T06:23:00

Really strong entry. quite polished and even though I feel like the idea is similar to a VR game I saw recently I still believe this is a strong idea and game. just wish The controls were a little easier to use and that I could turn better when in slow motion :)

Limbless by lanza 2015-08-24T08:46:00

much like the others who have commented I wish it were more forgiving. simple making the controls more precise and less floaty would help to solve this as well.

Trogg Village Defense by thebrickanator 2015-08-24T07:46:00

Thanks to all that have reported crashes and lag :) I have since fixed these (and a couple of typos)

Trogg Village Defense by thebrickanator 2015-08-25T09:24:00

@ranmaru90 yea that is a bug I found after the 48 hours that only happens I believe, if your screen is too small to fit the game window. if you click within the actual game zone (where there are no black bars and where the button was supposed to be) the button should still activate.

fyi: The bug occurs because I'm drawing the buttons on a gui layer whereas the mouse position is checked on the game layer and so I had to do calculations to check the location of the mouse's relative position. When the window gets shrinked, the gui layer scales but the game layer doesn't, hence why this bug is caused. I believe that the ludum dare rules allow for small bug fixes on things like this so I will upload a fixed version now.

The Most Boring Game Ever by Romixal 2015-08-25T08:16:00

Really good :) you have some bias from me as it brought back memories I used to love playing as a kid but can never find again when I look. I always wanted to re create it but have never had a good opportunity. I liked this re creation allot.

The Sacrifice by foxboard 2015-08-30T02:34:00

Really nice polished graphics and gameplay! I loved the concept too.

Village Defender by RedFil 2015-08-25T08:34:00

good to see a unity game that doesn't rely on the default buttons and menus :P I like the basic game play too but the controls could use work.

Tales of the Underworld: Rebellion of the Souls by ladybenko 2015-08-24T20:17:00

Really good work. I liked the art style and the music was good. one of the first games that I have played with decent controls :)

Monsters In The Dark (Bugged) by markoburzan27 2015-08-24T07:52:00

please take a look at any game you like and consider everything it does well then try and implement this into your game one by one. I think you will learn allot :)

Monster Twins by Jukepoks1 2015-08-24T07:02:00

Liked the game concept and had fun while playing. That's what matters and I think you have a good game here :)

Theme integration could have been better ;)

Sly Slime - Revenge On All Players by reckhou 2015-08-31T04:23:00

Great game! I loved the experience all round.

The Monster in Man by Reallysketchy 2015-08-24T05:19:00

it functional and is fun but unfortunately it is just not finished enough and I assume this is because of the time limitations. I would have loved to see what you could have achieved with more time :)

Wild Flirting by bloomingbuds 2015-08-29T20:38:00

I loved the concept and I played it for allot longer than most games :) very fun

Mighty Dune Worm by mcccclean 2015-08-30T06:32:00

Pretty fun game and simple to play :) I liked it's simple style allot and it reminded me a little of my game.

Manifest Destiny by superfreak 2015-08-29T02:02:00

I really like the music and the game was fun :)

Ted the Zombie by GrizzlyGenya 2015-08-29T02:39:00

Nice puzzles but I wish you had explained that you couldn't get close to the edge :)

Dude, Stop by Patomkin 2015-09-14T21:13:00

This was a really sweet idea! It may have been better to make it like the Dumb ways to die mobile game where you have to complete the challenges in a time period. or at least you could have made it switch to the next puzzle faster.

Bunny Inferno by Stanleys_Stoop 2015-08-24T05:11:00

Funny enough for me to recommend this game to everyone :D I like the take on the concept and the simple but fun game.

Saturday Morning Destruction by roaringcatgames 2015-08-29T01:39:00

funny animations and music. controls were all that confused me but it was a fun game anyway :)

Melody Muncher by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2015-09-13T07:55:00

Awesome! was so addicting and polished :)

bloody tentacles by zuurr 2015-08-26T05:04:00

Really cool quality game :)

Tube of Terror by BortStudios 2015-08-24T04:37:00

Really nice in most places :) the end was very simple but funny :) over all I really liked it.

How cookies ruined my life. by Suese 2015-08-24T06:14:00

Cool concept and is funny but in the end the screen just when black then I continued to hear sounds but couldn't see anything

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Double Kick Heroes by blackmagic 2015-12-27T22:30:00

Awesome! really cool music and satisfying game play :D good work

Learning to Dance by WetDesertRock 2015-12-27T08:34:00

really set the mood and story well with that musical background piece. I really enjoyed this, however the most game like part about it was trying to spot the new lines as they appeared :D

Agent Hooker by Phoenix849 2015-12-24T01:57:00

Awesome work :D the art is great and I love the animation at the end of each level... very well polished.

Slash Quest by Big Green Pillow ft Mgaia 2015-12-27T08:52:00

Perfect! :D hilarious, polished, great music, art, mood, and use of both themes :) great job

Tama Battle! by midgard 2015-12-15T03:19:00

ha I was also planning on making a tamagotchi related game, but got distracted... lol anyway this is quite cool and polished :) I would have liked it more if the fights were more interactive though :D but it was still fun to play with pixel pets :P

Neon City Getaway by manabreak 2015-12-28T09:54:00

Really fun too play :D good work. the lighting and style looks stunning too.

Clara Stirzaker and the Crypt of Time by vidarn 2015-12-19T04:19:00

I love it :D it's an awesome concept and plays flwlessly as far as I could tell... well done!

GrowingTrees by jomacel 2015-12-14T03:43:00

I loved it! :P the tree grows very naturally... I just whish that I could view my resulting tree after playing :)
This was very simple and fun though. Good work

space pruning by rubna 2015-12-20T02:26:00

Really well made! I love the graphics and am impressed of your use of 3D in game maker :) it is very effective.

Pilot Cat by ramoncb 2015-12-20T04:05:00

This game is really fun with impressive looking art. The game however should move faster with fewer enemies to keep it exciting and it should have a little more variation in gameplay.

Pete and the Beanstalk by SeriousCreeper 2015-12-23T20:58:00

Very fun and beautiful!

Fun with magnets! by Ithildin 2015-12-17T08:04:00

Was a nice little challenge, however the puzzles mostly consisted of trying to use the mechanics instead of solving how to complete it. This ultimately ended up making it a little tedious :P The games mechanics and design however were very good :D

Pigeon by euske 2015-12-27T07:34:00

Very fun! I got to the moon with and without the tree... but was still a good concept :D

Pocketropolis by deathray 2015-12-17T07:35:00

This was quite fun, but lacked a little challenge/variety. would probably have worked best as a mobile game actually as suggested by the name :D (even though it's imitating a handheld console)

Damacreat by KayZ 2015-12-22T21:24:00

lol I love your description :P and the game was fun... your post compo is definitely an improvement but it still isn't very challenging :) very nice mechanic though.

Capling by Xgor 2015-12-20T06:26:00

Most addictive game that I have played so far :D Very cool idea!

Snek by Esenti 2015-12-25T19:28:00

136... I really like :D I kinda wish you had the mechanic of the snake length growing though but it was still very good... well done :)

Frolf by OnlySlightly 2015-12-17T06:54:00

nice and short but functional game :) I quite enjoyed it and can see it being quite fun if more polished. for instance often I was unable to see the pucks behind object and being able to move the camera would be nice... but it was still a nice game :) good job.

Breathe by Galvesmash 2015-12-27T04:39:00

while the mood/graphics were really great and the theme was approached well I feel the game play didn't match. The main issue I found was that the focused energy lagged so far behind the mouse and seemed unable to work on enemies sometimes unexplained.

Unknown by Eshford 2015-12-27T22:35:00

Really good! especially for a compo entry! this is one of my favs so far.

Treevolution by Hackingroelz 2015-12-15T03:11:00

The game concept and idea is cool but I feel like there should be an explanation/reason that a tree is able to fire projectiles :) this is a nice start though

Arc by ChuiGum 2015-12-20T04:42:00

really fun and challenging :) nice work.

Ball Crusher From Neptune by Stending 2015-12-27T22:15:00

Really sweet, and very addicting... thanks for the awesome game.

Awkward Missile Command by herniewise 2015-12-20T06:48:00

Really cool :) I loved the gameplay mechanic and the game itself was very polished.

Junked by sorlok 2015-12-17T08:17:00

pretty good game and story :) the graphics and sound need work but I'm glad you focused on keeping it simple to focus on the story, as often the story in games is too overlooked.

Growing Ties by drludos 2015-12-27T22:40:00

hahaha really funny and addicting... would have been cool to have seen some variety in people and maybe tie attributes :P this game deserves a full release to mobile or something

Growing Ties by drludos 2015-12-28T07:11:00

hahaha I just realized my earlier comment is irrelevant as I found this game via your mobile release post and didn't even realize it! I will download and play now! thanks :D

Snake Runner by SketchyGalore 2015-12-20T03:34:00

awesome game for an LD compo entry! awesome work

Major Tom by OberynMartell 2015-12-28T20:02:00

Really polished and immersive game! really good work :D I did however meet with a memory leak as the game crashed in level 6.

Tile Risers by et1337 2016-01-01T19:51:00

Really cool to play multiplayer and it was very addicting :) It became a matter of who could steal the other person's piece the fastest when they reached the next level :P We reached the number 4096 but decided that it was too unrealistic to reach 8192 and would take ages. Would be really cool if it had sounds and a way to see where others were in their progress.

Ludum Vitae by Slothmachine 2015-12-20T01:21:00

Awesome! I love the atmosphere :D

Run Santa, run! by bessdlan 2015-12-27T08:15:00

pretty nice in most areas... I liked the child scream "Hey santa!" the animations and control explanation is really good too. very fun :)

Proud Sprout by ambi 2015-12-17T08:42:00

This fit the theme very well looked nice and played well... only thing I had an issue with was how floaty the controls were however it did suite the style.

Parse The Sky by dustyroom 2015-12-27T08:44:00

Awesome graphics and THE MUSIC! hahaha seriously though I really enjoyed it :)

SILooET by Pantelis Petsopoulos 2015-12-14T07:04:00

Was simple yet a nice application of the theme and quite addicting when you get the difficult levels :)

Radical Revolver Recoil Rampage by AndreasL 2015-12-20T06:54:00

"Awesome!" My cousins words not mine :) I also had a great time playing this game! it was very fun and addicting... well done.

Snake Blaster by A.W. Apps 2015-12-14T08:27:00

Petty well executed :)

Hero of the nest by Alexander Shukalo 2015-12-27T22:43:00

haha very funny concept and I loved the shaky legs well done :D

Bean up by Viza 2015-12-14T20:20:00

well considering this took you only 3 hours and it is very similar (game play wise) to a few game I have played from people that spent longer ... on art and so on, I think this has turned out really well :)

...Reminds me of how outside of LD the initial version of my first ever functional game "ALMA - rainbow climber" release was made in about 6 hours and it was less impressive than this at the time :P well done.

Jack and DeVine by eric777 2015-12-19T21:36:00

This deserves more ratings! I like how you implemented a story into a similar yet better executed version of many games in this LD. well done :D

Garden Grow by justinooncx 2015-12-27T22:23:00

very fun and quite addiction :D I liked the style and falling into the flowers at the end! my high score was 151

Day by Day by Maxi and The Gang 2015-12-15T09:26:00

awesome and beautiful story telling ;) I enjoyed it very much.

Eda by alpha_rats 2015-12-19T04:29:00

Is a very pretty game and the atmosphere is great

Griffin Card by uheartbeast 2015-12-14T20:04:00

lol "Pine have it your way!" But this game was really satisfying and well made... the art was really nice for the compo ;D My hat goes off to you.

Velociraptor Cyborg Post Apokalypse! by LadyS 2015-12-16T01:49:00

hahaha three games in one... really nice use of two buttons as well :) understanding each game was a little difficult but I figured it out in the end and died peacefully... well done!

Kill the Christmas Trees by rd127p77 2015-12-16T01:12:00

Tis a nice little game :P I played till he end but the screen just flashed white and closed... idk if that was supposed to happen? ...was that the surprise :D ??

B O N S A I by Okinawa_Terminal 2015-12-20T07:59:00

Quite effective and is a well made generator.

Volcano by uvwar 2015-12-28T19:35:00

Would have loved some life to grow and flourish on the islands, or be destroyed by the eruptions... idk but the game worked well and looked quite nice :D and greetings from Mt Etubo :P good work.

Rockets Hate the Moon by nodens 2015-12-17T06:42:00

I mean... you succeeded in making the point that rockets hate the moon so this game's a true success :D I just would have liked it be longer.

Life Is Short by ShaunJS 2015-12-14T19:50:00

This game is really nice ;) I like the message and presentation behind it... but that character doesn't sleep, he hibernates! :P

Reaching Skyward by SelfTitled 2015-12-16T20:22:00

This was really fun but after a while it became a little too repetitive, but I assume that would be different had you finished :P well done :)

Reach by huminaboz 2015-12-17T08:35:00

I really like the art :) simple, but effective

Row Row Row Your Goat by A-Flat Miner Studios 2016-01-04T06:06:00

Really well done! loved the animation and graphics... the ripple behind the boat looked cool as well :)

Mr. Dungeon Aase by Jordan 2015-12-14T08:34:00

this was quite a nice game but I found that the collision box of the player was a little large, which made it difficult to avoid traps :)
otherwise I'm quite impressed with what you have done in the time that you had.

life by wizord 2016-01-04T05:40:00

I love farting too! wish I could vote for humor... ;)

Droplet by madcoil 2015-12-15T08:11:00

It was nice to see someone try something unique, thats more of a technical challenge/demo than a game, and even as a game it was still quite fun too play. A couple ideas though: maybe you could have it so you can absorb the red blobs that are smaller than you, as sometimes I just didn't see them when I was looking at the big ones :D And you already implemented the theme of growing well so I think you should have opted for multi direction controls instead as the left/right which feels quite limited :P its quite impressive what you could do with just shaders... I might have to look further into them at some time :D

Winter Wilds by Bastienre4 2016-01-02T07:10:00

Fun game however the controls can be a little glitchy when I hover my mouse over areas where the wolves can not go. really nice concept and polish though ;D

Car Train by Duobix 2015-12-14T10:15:00

Very challenging :) however I feel the camera is too close, as I cannot even move out of the way in the time it takes for me to hit a car.

Grow and Match by johnnwfs 2015-12-26T06:10:00

very simple and challenging :P twas quite fun.

Oslo's Puppy by OttersDen 2015-12-17T07:26:00

Was a nice calm yet challenging game :) I really enjoyed it.

Sprout by mahalis 2015-12-25T19:41:00

wow this is really neat... I truly couldn't stop playing :D I recon that with a little more variation and interest, this game would be very fun and worth full release.

Bitrun by Devark 2015-12-17T08:48:00

really polished and smooth. awesome work :D

In this game, you can not jump by pta2002 2015-12-27T04:31:00

hahaha this was pretty funny, but I found it too short with not allot of thought gone into bugs or how the levels may be attempted by the user. also though the tricks were funny, this type of unexplained stuff can lead to people giving up on your game way too soon so you may want to work on making the correct route clear after you initially trick the player.

From the Deep by scorched 2015-12-14T07:29:00

I love the use of 2 buttons :) I passed this entry 3 times in the list and kept telling myself to see what it was. And i'm glad I stopped :P although it can be annoying when it picks up a jump when you mean to walk, after playing a little I got the hang of it. I really enjoyed it.

Bouncing Knight by Multiplexor 2015-12-15T03:06:00

hahaha this was great! I loved the control and uniqueness of this entry. the fighting mechanics were also very well done!

SnowRoll by StabAlarash 2015-12-27T20:12:00

Pretty awesome game :) I would have loved to have seen the game with custom assets but it was still well made. I think you need a better way of ensuring the player doesn't fall off the map, because I played the game for a while riding along the side of the hill.

Mt Etubo by thebrickanator 2015-12-14T21:50:00

@in3orn Unfortunately this is a bug not with the game, but simply means your graphics driver does not support gamemaker glsl shaders properly. To fix this error apparently all you must do is install the latest 'direct X' version on your computer.

Mt Etubo by thebrickanator 2015-12-15T07:31:00

@theholychicken Thanks heaps :) and I used a rendering technique called metaballs. it's very simple and a quick google should show you how to do it.

Mt Etubo by thebrickanator 2015-12-22T18:28:00

@KayZ Yep Thanks ;), we have been trying to get our server administrators to look at this problem but cant get them to respond... It appears our site has been attacked/bombarded and ran out of bandwidth in a few hours. I will upload the files to a temporary server until this is fixed.

Mt Etubo by thebrickanator 2015-12-22T19:08:00

Server bandwidth has been temporarily increased :) so hopefully our site will stay active now.

Mt Etubo by thebrickanator 2015-12-23T22:22:00

@r8berto Thanks ;D I use Gamemaker Studio.

Seven Cannon Army by r8berto 2015-12-21T22:14:00

This is very nice... it had nice graphics and played very well. would definitely be better with sound but it was still quite addictive and fun ;)

FLOW by Romixal 2015-12-27T21:21:00

oh noooO! I went right a little then left heaps and never met back up too the line... this is deep lol :) but I couldn't see the game, and from the comments it sounds as if you need to make the objective clear rather than hidden. but idk I just made it too the static.

Circle Defender by daleth90 2015-12-14T20:57:00

Was a good game :) I think the controls became un-responsive at one point but that may have been an issue on my end, as It never happened again.

Sumou no Kurieta by fafastudio 2015-12-17T08:24:00

hahaha yea this was really nice... it became really difficult when they began to have multiple preferences :) I like the graphics and variation/addition of foods as the game progresses.

Hyperdemocracy by Dreyan 2015-12-17T07:56:00

lol this was pretty unique... I liked the concept and art though. Quite a nice game :)

Blobitronica by crucknuk 2015-12-28T19:46:00

Pretty awesome game :D twas very hard yet still satisfying and I loved the style along with the zoom effect :)

High Noon Swinger by saucygames 2015-12-27T04:21:00

Really good :) I like the art but I think the mood could be improved with music and the gameplay improved with a little variety in opponents... maybe this comes after getting higher scores but my highest was 10

Memory Jump by dregamr 2015-12-27T03:59:00

The games main downfall was not being able to jump reliably from the elevator blocks... it just made the game too frustrating. however I found the remainder of the game very fun and well made, excusing a few un-responsive controls.

Button Betting by torcado 2015-12-23T20:59:00

hilarious and unique... I love how the game has enough variation to keep you interested and surprised by the next mini game :P

Seed Life by MarcRobin 2015-12-20T02:51:00

Very nice game :D I love playing the games of fellow GM users and seeing how they were made.

Island Defence by Epicruins195 2015-12-20T07:24:00

pretty nice ;)

Bunny Block by argosenpaikun 2015-12-20T06:40:00

well I quite enjoyed this game until I found out that you have copied almost the entire thing without credit. I appreciate the effort but please at least give credit :)
I still voted fairly in case I have misinterpreted the situation.

Growth Control by Akhera 2016-01-01T22:35:00

Would be much better if the line range was limited. We found that when playing it multiplayer you were able to just move your attack node really close and cut off the other player, hence ending the game very quickly. It would also be good if you implemented a check for if the player has run out of moves or has lost. The game was however quite fun and I can see it being very successful if you gave it a little more polish :)

Bridge Balance by blohod 2015-12-15T09:03:00

Fun game and mechanics... lol I wish I could say the same about the graphics but as a first game it is pretty well done :D

Repulsion by DieBackStudios 2015-12-27T07:18:00

pretty fun but I feel like the two button control theme ultimately works against this game as I think a dedicated button would be easier to use when swapping the colours, but there is nothing really wrong with how you have it so good work :)

Fuzzy The Bouncing Ball by InfinitySquaredGames 2015-12-17T07:50:00

Really good :D I honestly haven't seen many good platforms this ludum dare because the 2 button control theme often ruins them but having fuzzy bouncing constantly was a good workaround to this limitation and made this short game very fun, instead of frustrating :D

Fluffy Horde by publicidadeba 2015-12-27T21:12:00

Reakky good entry overall however the game and win conditions/lose conditions seem a little rushed :/ :)

Sentient Sewage by blakeohare 2015-12-15T02:17:00

I like the liquid interactivity and motion :) the game itself is quite simple and should have been polished with sounds and so on but was never the less still quite fun, and I love the interpretation of the theme :D

U.G.O by aamatniekss 2015-12-14T10:19:00

I love the art! :) and that you switch the scenery up for variety. It's a simple yet very effective game.

Growing Up by stevepctech 2015-12-15T02:26:00

I liked the game-play at easy heaps :D green mode was really fun, however I think the red difficulty is beyond difficult and instead is impossible... idk maybe you can do it but I cant see whats ahead of me at all :D overall though it was a good looking, short and fun game.

Journey for the light by rosden shadow 2015-12-14T07:18:00

awesome :) I like the idea, and the way you made the tail with all of it's leaves and things. it may made a little more sense had you animated the bud at the end to open when you fired and had it pivot to face the direction you were firing, however the game was still really fun ??

Grow From Earth by JamesMowery 2015-12-15T07:01:00

Congrats on what you accomplished in such a short time ;) tis cool to see that your first game was part of LD :P and this was a good use of the themes too.

SnowBall Crash by AdamAlexander 2015-12-20T03:21:00

This is a nice physics game and continues to be fun to play :) well done.

Cardboard Conundrum by Viperfish9 2015-12-14T08:49:00

was quite fun :D why did it have to be so short! lol I'm only kidding I actually believe this was made even better by its length :) so many other LD entries get very repetitive and drawn out however I was still having fun by the end of this one! Good work

Astro Cat Saga by Astro Cat 2015-12-20T02:39:00

Great game ;D

Slippy Santa by brainybeard 2015-12-19T21:49:00

I a pretty well made game however the objects should also spread further apart as they get bigger when they approach you so that the gap between objects doesn't shrink.

From Seed to Snow by Kitfox 2015-12-20T07:51:00

Most beautiful and polished game that I have seen so far! I loved the art and peacefulness of the seasons.

Tailwind by synthetic-entropy 2015-12-27T22:05:00

not perfect, but is playable and fun :) the lack of control (sliding around heaps) made it a little frustrating and the high lap number just caused the game to become a little tedious :P but it was still a nice idea and well made.

Age Of Swarms by Tiberon 2015-12-26T06:48:00

unfortunately the bugs and lag were the only issues for me in terms of gameplay... but having explanations would have also been helpful. If I ignored the lag and played what I understood... It was quite fun.

White Rose by Kenneth Ng 2015-12-17T07:44:00

The game looks really nice but variety in the game is definitely lacking :) just a few new attacks and enemies would make a great difference... Making the weapons/attack sync with the beat of the music would work amazingly in a game like this.

Auxochrome by yuotta 2015-12-20T06:44:00

really well made! congrats.

Rebuild / Resist by saint11 2016-01-02T04:57:00

The art is really nice! and I love the control system :D

LD37 — One room

Defeat the Kraken by quentinus60 2016-12-13T21:22:00

Was a nice game and you have achieved quite a lot for the 48hr compo. I assume that you interpreted the theme as using only one GameMaker room and simply built an entire game without changing rooms? unfortunately I cant download the game source for some reason to check, but you should probably put it in your description so that people who don't use Gamemaker understand. Otherwise it was a very fun albeit difficult game.

One Room Repair by makhovykh 2016-12-12T19:42:00

hahaha I can imagine this being a cool game about discovering all the hidden things you can do to the room. I'm quite curious as to what the Easter egg is :D but this is a good start to what could be a neat game.

The Ninth Circle by zeoxo 2016-12-12T23:22:00

Loved it :) I like the ability to upgrade the weapon too, the graphics are polished and I could easily sit here playing this forever to get the upgrades lol.

Ascend by MCjammydodger 2016-12-12T20:30:00

The game is ok but could be much better with only minor tweaks. for instance (as others have already stated) the jumping needs work, but other things like how close you have to be to a switch to interact with it and my mouse should be locked to the game window while playing as it kept getting stuck at the edge of my monitor or onto my second monitor.

Chrome Room by Palarus 2016-12-13T20:02:00

Really nice all round. I was a little concerned that passing a level would be too determined by random chance but there was actually a fair amount of problem solving to be had.

The Pit by Soundless_dev 2016-12-13T19:43:00

This looks like a lot of fun once your used to the controls, (I would find it easier with the up or space key as jump) but I'll be sure to come play it again later and try master it because I love the concept and the splash animations are quite satisfying :)

Handle With Care by NickZangus 2016-12-15T02:54:00

Absolutely spot on! this had me cracking up at my own clumsiness. in one run I had placed the vase perfectly without hitting a thing only to knock over two relics on my way back to get the next item. The music was great and the character's was hilariously over dramatized. Definitely my favorite LD so far in term of enjoyment.

Fear and Freedom by Andrew Deem 2016-12-13T20:40:00

This was a cool story, I did like the challenge of trying to escape with both characters at the end, but I couldn't do it so I just reached the ending with the prisoner but still had fun doing it. I did notice there were a couple small glitches in the graphics but apart from that the game seemed to function well.

Sides Adventures by Meta-link 2016-12-15T17:51:00

nice game, it was very difficult to control when you had to jump between the computer and the cannon but it was quite fun. the perspective also confused me a little at first but once I was familiar with the game it was a lot of fun.

Room 007 by Lancelot Gao 2016-12-15T19:00:00

This was really fun, I loved the concept and the puzzles were perfectly balanced to be challenging but quick. The art and even the whistling was great. I love the humor behind having weapons stored in such an innocent looking room.

Panic room by Smiley 2016-12-14T21:29:00

This is a pretty sweet game. I like the pacing. It could be cool to have more variety in how the power ups behave. for instance the flame thrower is very similar to the laser atm, but you could make it catch the enemies on fire which could cause a chain reaction and catch others on fire :D

Temple of Wanrum by MentaL13 2016-12-13T21:33:00

Neat game, The pixel art is great! while sound would add so much to this the game play is still really smooth and easy to learn making it fun to keep playing without getting frustrated.

Walkie Talkie by managore 2017-01-03T20:41:00

This game is great! congrats on the win in both innovation and overall!

RoomOne by Geckoo1337 2016-12-13T05:23:00

Awesome job! I love the art style and game concept so much. this has to be one of the most interesting games I've come across of yet. Multiple times I found myself with no clue how to move on but that just made it even more compelling. especially since the game goes so much faster when you've done it a couple times.

Cabin Fever by dlweatherhead 2016-12-12T19:35:00

While this game isn't finished, it was still fun to tear apart the room and play with the physics for as long as I could without dying :D I would also love to have seen the story, but the mood and game play was still evident, and fun

Amelia by Xinelu 2016-12-12T19:19:00

I like the simple combat and stealth aspects a lot and it help this game be more than just a test of skill but I feel like this game would be way better with more than one room so I feel like the theme hindered you more than aided you. of course there is only so much you can do in 48 hrs and the game was still satisfying to play :D

Haystack Quest by commodoreKid 2016-12-13T11:12:00

I loved playing this game with the couple people that joined from twitch (in thebrickanator on twitch). The only downside was there was no indication on how to skip the cut scenes which makes it difficult to understand, and it needs a button to start a rematch. but the game play and graphics were perfect! I can see this being a really exceptional game given some play testing :)

Fancy Goldfish by A-Flat Miner Studios 2016-12-14T21:19:00

The art and animations are top notch! It was hard to tell how I died a couple times but other than that I had a lot of fun playing.

Upwards by mao 2016-12-15T03:09:00

The game looks great but even in the post jam version it is very difficult to not slide off 1 wide blocks and have to repeat a part over and over.it doesn't seem fair if you have already made the jump. love the dog character though and the games physics mechanics feel really well coded and reliable.

Correct Color by gogo199432 2016-12-16T22:23:00

The story in this was great! thanks for recommending me your game. I played it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=XBEBBc-cfYc Unfortunately I only realized after playing that the blue button was shocking the player but it didn't effect the outcome too greatly. I agree that the ending would have been more clear if I had noticed that blue was shocking/killing me but it wasn't necessary to make me question my ability to make decisions for myself. I loved the parallel between the mouse and the player and wish I had talked about it in more depth during the video. Overall I really enjoyed this game and hope I did it justice in the video, thanks for sending it in.

Put It Out by conradte3 2016-12-13T19:36:00

Wow lol this is a cool idea :D reminded me of the extinguisher scene in WALL-E. It seems like a very unsafe fireplace... but the game was a lot of fun.

Homes under the Hammer by Tijn 2016-12-15T19:05:00

This is a perfect use of the theme, Well done! I really enjoyed playing it end listening to the comical sound effects :D

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-12T20:54:00

Thanks Guys, I just discovered this bug a moment before I saw your posts :D so I have uploaded the fix and hopefully it wont happen anymore.

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-12T21:01:00

Sorry, I had taken the link down for a moment while I uploaded the new version. I'll add a link from another source though too, just to be sure.

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-12T21:30:00

ok so that was a rough start but I believe the connection timeout was simply to short, and so people with slightly higher latency couldn't connect, but I have tested it with someone overseas now and it seems to work fine. thanks everyone for letting me know :)

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-14T20:21:00

@DrSnuggles Yep :D that's a good sign, it simply means that no one was online to join you. unfortunately I was asleep so couldn't have joined the room. Thanks for giving it a second go though, I should be able to join for the next 13 hours so if you (see this reply and) want to give it another shot I'd love to vs you.

I've had a lot of fun joining those that have played thus far, especially with those who I versed in a twitch stream with multiple players and I dont know about you @drury but Sausage fingers are my favorite type of sausage... and fingers.

For those that have suggested changes. I'm looking into applying all of your ideas in my Post LD build, and will be porting the game to android along with updating the server to be hosted by whoever is online, instead of from my home PC.

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-15T05:25:00

Thanks Hermetic, I haven't seen that bug before but I'm guessing the character probably spawned outside the room somehow, thanks for letting me know :) the colours at the bottom are intended and show the flag colours of previous winners. I understand this isn't clear so I'll be sure to work on this. The resizing of the window is enabled because I had been preparing the game to be released on android and was testing resolution scaling.

Royal Rise (Online Multiplayer) by thebrickanator 2016-12-22T03:27:00

Thanks Leeman :D The climbing up the screen is in fact intended behavior, but I appreciate the feedback! It wasn't intended that you can climb forever but I left it in the game because I found it sometimes made for more strategic gameplay. Ideally I'd like to have made sure a block intercepted your path up the wall a little more often to insure that you have to find an alternate route more often. (This will be fixed in my Post LD version)

Nest by Jonathan Whiting 2016-12-12T19:55:00

This was great fun, It was very challenging for me to wrap my mind around controlling the third screen so I'm so glad you added the auto play feature :) your description sums it up perfectly and I found myself jamming to the rhythm of sounds created by the autoplay which turned out to be surprisingly tuneful.

Last Call by BulletsArePeopleToo 2016-12-15T00:00:00

This is an amazing entry, I watched you play it on a stream and just decided to play it for myself now, I think perfectly executes the theme, gameplay and humor so well. I also loved the sound design which did a great job at making it immersive.

Void by Sota 2016-12-13T09:59:00

While I like the concept, The game was far to difficult for me, and even in the coloured version I still had trouble navigating the level because of the unreliable physics. Was it simply time constraints that prevented you from making a goal or did you want to prank us lol :D

One Room Hotel by TerraCottaFrog 2016-12-16T22:07:00

Excelent game, I just upload this video of me playing it: https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=XBEBBc-cfYc (My second time playing it.) Ihe games concept, graphics and gameplay execution really impressed me, I loved the hotel reviews and the characters voices and the hectic gameplay meant that even after playing multiple rounds it was still very challenging and fun. Thanks for recommending it to me :)

One Room Hotel by TerraCottaFrog 2016-12-17T00:05:00

Sorry about that ;)

The Hunter by tjmolinski 2016-12-12T20:20:00

The sound was great you had me jump and laughing at myself at the first scare, the audio was great too but I found it very unsettling and had to stop before finding the key. I never touch 3D in GM anymore because of its limitations but you have made them work in your favor! nice work.

Christmas Stack! by Geck0 2016-12-14T23:47:00

This was quite a fun game concept but I do think that it is probably too fast to play strategically and instead you can only try and prevent blocks from getting trapped. It would be a lot of fun if the elf could carry gifts and move blocks that were under other presents :)

Hitlers Cactus or only you can stop Trump by stupidmindlessf 2016-12-21T22:38:00

Very interesting and its a compelling story ;) It would be nice to receive a little feedback from your actions, so you don't feel like you're just trying random combinations. I do love the sense of humor though :D

The Shifting Room by Max Amaden 2016-12-12T23:16:00

I love how the solution was never what you expected and the game feels very well polished. nice work :D

Super Crash Box by Drury 2016-12-15T01:26:00

Neat game, I love the platforming and bouncing mechanics! the explosions and animations were fun, and there was a nice challenge in trying to get to the different parts of the level. Really cool game

Jim is Moving Out! by stadoblech 2016-12-16T22:15:00

This was a very fun and addicting game. The graphics are really all I saw that could have been improved, but my gameplay of it can be found here (its the third game I played): https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=XBEBBc-cfYc It would be cool to see some variations in room size/shape too but I look forward to playing the local multiplayer version. If you let me know when it's released I'd like to try play it again in another episode. Thanks for recommending your game!

The Living Room Battlescape by EthanBierlein 2016-12-13T20:53:00

This was good fun :D simple but pretty well made. The pixel style was unique and while I don't know if it would be a great choice for a full game release, it works well for Ludum Dare.
