LD26 — Minimalism

Graviblox by Pickehut 2013-04-30T22:38:00

When I saw it was a gravity changing game, I wasn't expecting much, but it did prove to create a rendition of a kind of overused mechanic in a new way. Nice game!

Space Theory by Jens Nolte 2013-04-30T21:30:00

Game doesn't run for me :/

Pix by Holofire 2013-04-29T22:48:00

fun as hell :D I had to stop myself from playing just so i could finally rate it.

stairs by cardboard 2013-04-30T23:07:00

Took me a solid 3 minutes to figure out what to do (admittedly I didn't read any instructions haha) and even after I understood what to do, I kind of failed at doing it. Not sure if it was just my own failing, or what. Interesting game, though!

Rocky Flight Balloon by Smaxx 2013-04-30T23:42:00

Simply amazing game. It might not have been that innovative, but the graphics were awesome! It's the subtle things that transform something from being good to great, and I feel as if this game definitely achieved that. As others have said, maybe add some music, and maybe make the levels last longer and/or add power-ups, and I could definitely see myself buying this on a mobile platform. Definitely the best submission I've played so far. Bravo.

Formless Reliquary by PsenFilip 2013-04-30T22:28:00

Pretty interesting game. Cool graphic style. Quite challenging!

Raining Shards by TheMaster99 2013-04-30T09:15:00

Sorry, but frankly I don't know what could be causing it :/

Raining Shards by TheMaster99 2013-04-30T23:43:00

Jod: They are birds that're supposed to pick up shards for you (Potato power-up. Birds. Geddit?) but I didn't really have enough time to make them work correctly.

Thanks for all the comments so far!

Raining Shards by TheMaster99 2013-05-01T09:24:00

Xajnos: That's an issue with playing at a low framerate. Unfortunately, slower computers will experience this issue. The power-ups taking extreme amounts of time to wear off that Aaron4576 was experiencing also is due to the low framerate you may have. I didn't expect there to be as many people with this issue as there are, because those seem to be the most common complaint. I guess I've learned me lesson, and will plan for future games to be playable on a much wider amount of computers!

Raining Shards by TheMaster99 2013-05-01T20:19:00

Only one thing? I can assure you that more than one thing is meant to happen...

Raining Shards by TheMaster99 2013-05-05T10:28:00

If you miss too many shards (don't collect them) you lose!

You Are, A Shadow by toonheart 2013-04-30T22:18:00

Pretty interesting game. Not really seen anything like it for ludum dare before. Pretty hilarious sound effects though!

SquareRoot by Masadow 2013-04-30T23:14:00

Definitely broke away from the typical "get from point a to point b without hitting the walls" genre with several different mechanics. Awesome music! Enjoyed playing the game.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

NSA's Where's Snowden? by Will Edwards 2013-09-02T13:11:00

Seems like an interesting concept, but I couldn't really do much as I don't know SQL (and the help isn't particularly.. well, helpful) Good work though! Not many can say they've made a parser in a day.

xhon by savethejets1 2013-09-02T18:58:00

Great game.. great graphics as well. You're level introducing the key/doors mechanic, though, was EXTREMELY repetitive. It wasn't a bad level in general, but I'd refrain from doing repetitive levels like that. Otherwise, nice game!

Sundial by Recursiveanomaly 2013-08-27T23:58:00

Really awesome game! Sound was great, graphics were beautiful, and the ending was (imo) kind of humorous. Great job!

Get Out! by LordHellMaX 2013-08-27T12:55:00

Pretty awesome game! The mood was great (although i played in half volume, because I'm a bit of a pussy when it comes to scary/horror games haha) Definitely has the potential to be made into a full game. Will definitely recommend to my friends.
Amazing work!

Umbra Machina by TheMaster99 2013-08-27T10:57:00

Sinuath: read the 'how to play,' it tells you the goal :)

Umbra Machina by TheMaster99 2013-08-27T12:28:00

Pixelfan, do you mind going more into detail about it?

Umbra Machina by TheMaster99 2013-08-27T12:44:00

Thanks for the feedback!
1. Yeah, now that you mentioned it, making the background move when you jump sounds like a good idea.
2. Any teleportation that occured would be you moving from the fight room (meaning you have to fight the enemy) or back.
3. If you are in a fight and are close enough to the enemy to attack it, the hit animation should play.

Umbra Machina by TheMaster99 2013-08-28T11:16:00

Recursiveanomaly: you're thinking of celly, not my game :)

Umbra Machina by TheMaster99 2013-09-02T12:20:00

What do you mean by 'finished'? More/better animations, more levels, an actual block texture?

10 Seconds to Apocalypse by donfabio 2013-08-27T12:02:00

Audio was a bit loud (especially the death sound) and you don't get hurt by the spikes on the ground if you walk into them (you have to jump onto them, walking is harmless) but otherwise, pretty good!

Lost in the Darkness by TobiasW 2013-09-02T12:17:00

Pretty awesome adventurer you've got here. Quite unique mechanic, and executed very well. Was very pleasing, both visually and audibly. Good work!

Maximilian Lambda Caster by Jwatt 2013-08-27T12:20:00

Nice play on the theme, quite original. I didn't quite understand what my shots did, but otherwise seemed pretty solid.
Good work!

Maximilian Lambda Caster by Jwatt 2013-08-27T12:27:00

Nice play on the theme, quite original. I didn't quite understand what my shots did, but otherwise seemed pretty solid. (EDIT: read the documentation and that helped everything make a lot more sense. It's still kind of an unusual game, but was done well.)
Good work!

LD28 — You Only Get One

blomster by Ditto 2013-12-18T21:36:00

Pretty great game! Didn't get very far because I gave up after the second time I managed to lose my sphere. That's my problem though, not yours. Also, the "bug" you experienced in my game isn't a bug, it's a feature. There are invisible walls around the map to stop you from leaving the level. There are better alternatives I could have (and should have) implemented, but didn't due to lack of motivation. Hope that clears things up, ping me on IRC if there's anything else you didn't like/understand about it, using same name!

No Way Out by Eniko 2013-12-22T17:12:00

Great game! Have been wanting to play it ever since trying your demos on the IRC. The panic the character experiences isn't just his own, for the heartbeat and the on-screen thoughts induce quite a bit of panic onto the player as well. I figured out the solution just as the zombies started walking in on my second attempt. Great job, would love to see a post-jam version, where perhaps the player finds a way past the barred window and has to figure out what to do from there, perhaps find a working car in the parking lot?

Doubt by rxi 2013-12-16T10:36:00

Awesome work, rxi! The graphics are beautiful, the atmosphere is great. It's a bit lacking in the gameplay department though, and I got stuck on the deja vu part (not exactly relevant). Good work!

Make Tetrominoes! by Crowbeak 2013-12-16T11:08:00

Very addicting gameplay, and fitting graphics. Unfortunately, it isn't exactly the most original game concept, and I can't judge the audio since I'm playing on firefox. Good work, anyways!

Just One Minute by TheCze 2013-12-16T11:21:00

Only one try in something like this isn't really acceptable in my opinion, and the .jar download takes way for me to bother trying it again, and I have the best internet I can get in my region. If you improve the download speed or remove the only one try, tell me and I'll re-rate it.

SHIFTER by Atmospherium 2013-12-18T21:42:00

Very fun experience, and great story! Going to play the post-compo now, in hopes of more of SHIFTER's life story! Well done!

Mr.Rect by Mindtricks 2013-12-16T20:19:00

Not bad for your first game, by any means! Good work!

St. George's Day by TinyMoonStudios 2013-12-17T11:05:00

Not an original game whatsoever, but besides that it's fun, has good graphics, and has nice music. Well done!

Cardocalypse by Shigor 2013-12-21T18:44:00

Very fun and addicting little card game! I spent over an hour trying to beat it, to no avail :(

Cardocalypse by Shigor 2013-12-22T16:59:00

Finally! I have beaten it, with the almighty tool! >:D

Fantastic Franklin by Stealth 2013-12-19T14:37:00

Excellent game. I like it! Would love to see a post-jam version.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

2587: Screw You ET by Holofire 2014-04-29T10:30:00

Great graphics, and fitting. Pretty cool that you have some character customization to you. Overall gameplay seems a bit too easy, though.

Deep Dark Dank Dusty Musty Dirty Decrepit Massive Moist Manholes by CharlieLove 2014-04-29T10:35:00

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever seen a typing game for Ludum Dare! Good game, not much to comment on, but this is fun compared to most typing games.

Deep Sea Rescue by TheMaster99 2014-04-29T10:21:00

@CharlieLove

Are you referring to the icons in the lower left? Those indicate the seats you have remaining. And I agree, it's too easy but I didn't have enough time to do any significant level design, I finished with like one minute left.

Deep Sea Rescue by TheMaster99 2014-04-30T22:21:00

There isn't just one enemy! There are five! (5 at all times - if you kill one, another one spawns on the map!)

Deep Sea Rescue by TheMaster99 2014-05-16T19:20:00

I didn't add mac and linux versions because they're a minority, and the web build covers them. As far as the download taking a long time, that'd be an issue with dropbox, nothing I can do on my part.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Escape - Beneath the Surface by saulopz 2014-05-13T21:26:00

Pretty sure I clicked on just about every pixel in the screen but I still wasn't able to find the antenna. Would have liked to see the end.

Mad Bunny by BigRat 2014-04-28T10:22:00

Hey, just to let you know, you aren't allowed to use another person's assets in the compo (48-hour version). I'd recommend that you re-submit this under the jam. You may also want to brush up on the rules if you plan on doing more Ludum Dare's in the future.

Into the Abyss by kyyrma 2014-04-29T10:41:00

Nice, simple platformer. Accidentally stepped on a crab when trying to get air. Pincers hurt!

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Punch Squad by Sos 2014-12-08T20:39:00

I don't know if it is meant to be, but the music is painfully loud on my computer, to the point that I had to take my headset off. Neat game, though!

Cheap Peripherals by TheMaster99 2014-12-09T00:08:00

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

birdsong by managore 2014-12-11T17:52:00

What is there to say about this game? It's absolutely amazing, in every way. Simple, yet very addicting gameplay, charming graphics with a very unique shader, and quite fitting audio - the music never got annoying in the entire time I played (something I can't say about every game.. mine doesn't even have music! ;) ), and the sound effects fit perfectly with the game. Outstanding job! I wouldn't be at all surprised if you win, or end up releasing on steam one day!

birdsong by managore 2014-12-13T17:18:00

Kuch Bhi ! by bORAT 2014-12-24T20:26:00

Neat!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Unconventional War by LogicielAllan 2015-04-25T15:56:00

Je suis très confondu par ce jeu. Quelle est l'objectif du jeu? Quand je presse les boutons, je meurs. Quand je presse l'écran, tout que je peux faire est assigner un arme pour toute les régions, puis un sirène est activé, et je ne peux rien faire après ce. C'est un idée bon, mais je suis simplement trop confondu pour jouer ce jeu. Mais vous avez fait très bien faire ce jeu dans XNA. Si vous pouvez expliquer ce que j'ai besoin faire, je jouerai de nouveau :)

Aussi, j’espère que vous pouvez comprendre mon français. Je suis un étudiant américain, dans mon année troisième de français!

Love Will Always Prevail by TheMaster99 2015-04-25T18:23:00

@FrozenFire92 - the hearts adopt your velocity and add to it, instead of moving independently. You can shoot diagonally this way, although dedicated diagonal shooting would have been nice to implement. As for the game ending, you have to follow the path and defeat the boss at the end to fulfill the win condition.

Thank you for all the feedback everyone!
