LD25 — You are the Villain

Be the Villain by Digitalduck 2013-01-07T08:26:00

The music wasn't quite right for this game. Would have wanted a more tense one, Ocean's Eleven style! :D Nice game though!

Tiny Sorceress by L 2012-12-18T16:06:00

The part with the knife was fun! Interesting little game.

Misadventures of Dr. Bardo by PIXEL^3 2012-12-18T08:30:00

Well put together, but really, really hard. Couln't get through the 3th level. Spikes ruined me.

But it still was fun to play. I wonder, what if you would have reduce the time for the bomb to explode, or make it explode immediately when hurting an ennemy ?

Stealth Slime by koredozo 2012-12-19T10:13:00

Loved the concept and the visible area/hidden area thingy. Great job!

Epic win, game over! by Kickerua 2012-12-19T10:08:00

Really cool idea! But waaaay too slow in this version. Would love to see that concept developped further.

Henchmen by grid 2012-12-18T00:01:00

I'm sorry but... I didn't find where to download it, after following your link :/

The Secret Plan by kevincorrigan 2012-12-18T00:29:00

I got a problem when trying to extract, it said something like: "One file is corrupted".

Your screenshot was appealing :(

Kill Ville by ConflictiveLabs 2012-12-18T10:23:00

Fun game! The music is perfectly suited for the game and the idea is quite original. Played several times but always found the villain a bit too easily after a few seconds. But overall a very creative game!

Rectangle Robbery by RyanArcher 2012-12-19T09:58:00

Good job! Was stuck because of some platform being too high for my jump, but hooray for your first game!

IWKTP by pereubu 2012-12-17T23:56:00

Amazing work. I'm not playing a lot of arcade games, but I loved this one.

The three characters are very different, but it seems like they all have a fair opportunity to kill all those damn blonde knights. Very nice balance between that, even if they're all fun to play.

Really well done !

Make It Black by zenmumbler 2012-12-18T09:06:00

I really enjoyed it! BILE EVERYWHERE! EVIL WINS! Nice idea. It maybe needs another gameplay feature to make it more complex, but overall really good.

Kim Jong-un's Glorious Missile to Liberate the Nations DX by dremelofdeath 2012-12-18T08:38:00

Yeah, I felt addicted. Loved the music and the graphics. Even if I was very, very, very, bad at it. (couldn't survive more than 2 secondes of the 3th level).

Loved the fact that balloon, monkeys or even rabbit could destroy this glorious missile. Really cool !

Evil Foot Race For Kittens by AxeTheory 2012-12-18T00:24:00

Fun, but couldn't win, even once :')

Chainsaw Happines by arandaschimpf 2012-12-20T14:23:00

Fun, but got bored quite quickly though.

Cruel World Of Business by horrorpen 2012-12-17T23:07:00

Amazing graphics, really love them. But I wonder... what if you had turned the kids into more cute poor innocent things being crashed by an old senile guy ?

I mean... why the hell is this guy selling lemonade, isn't he too old for that ?

Anyway, that was really fun to play, I loved the bounce "effect". Well done !

The Quite Annoying League by Pierrec 2012-12-18T00:47:00

Awesome.

I laughed. I haven't laughed while playing a video games for ages. This rock !

Busdriver's paradise by lucas-b.eyer.be 2012-12-17T23:28:00

Poor grammas.

The villain's Rules ! by zimra 2012-12-18T00:08:00

Really nice work. I think the graphics, the entire mood are very well done.

But I felt a bit lost with the stuff I could put on the floor. Couldn't really guess what those objects could do.

Anyway, is it perhaps part of the game itself ? Learning on how some of this items works ?

Anyway, nice and original game !

Balloon Frenzy 4: Turbo Edition by theRestlessTaxidermists 2012-12-18T00:59:00

Thanks for those feedbacks !

"Hope you expand the game play portion"
Yeah, we would have loved too, but that was our first game, so we really tried to stick to our main objective : "Finish it".

But you're right, it could be really interesting to try something a bit more longer. But to achieve this we should find more actors, because we've already given everything we could, in our acting skills :D

Balloon Frenzy 4: Turbo Edition by theRestlessTaxidermists 2012-12-18T09:54:00

Thank you all for your feedback!

I love how you mention the player you see in the background as "the player". That's the whole point. <3 to you all.

Balloon Frenzy 4: Turbo Edition by theRestlessTaxidermists 2012-12-23T18:38:00

@ArkadyDracul Thank you for your kind comment! About the AI, did you not play well? YOU are the AI! ;)

Thank you all, Internet people. :)

Atomic Creep Spawner!! by deepnight 2012-12-19T21:24:00

Just. Wow. Man.

MortVille by Overkill 2012-12-18T08:19:00

I loved the graphics, the minion's shape is perfect :D

The gameplay is kind of original too. I felt it like, a multi-tasking pacman.

The blue guys pwned me very easily, i couldn't collect orbs quickly enough : (

Eater by RokB 2012-12-17T22:29:00

Was fun !

I was surprised the first time when the game restarted and then yo added a new mechanic: "EAT SMALLER THAN". I wasn't expecting that since you didn't add some kind of feedback at how far away in the level I was. I liked that.

From The Black by arkeus 2012-12-18T15:20:00

Wow. That kept me playing for a good amount of time. Amazing for a 48 hours game! great job. But I suck at this game. :D

Pet Buster by Nanolotl 2012-12-18T08:46:00

Very well done. Everything works really well.

Demoman for Democracy by AaronYip 2012-12-19T09:50:00

Nice one. Enjoyed it a lot! It maybe needs sound effects to better understand what you're doing. :)

Drillizer by stigmawall 2012-12-17T23:45:00

I've been pwned very quickly. But, interesting.

(I must be kind of sick but... I couldn't stop seeing a penis growing, sorry for that).

Jelly Blob by FelixNemis 2012-12-17T23:34:00

The gravity didn't bother me. It make me feel like this jelly was fragile.

The "end" was way more weirder.

Beach, Please! by Elisée and friends 2012-12-18T07:54:00

I felt weird when shooting at those poor guys lying on the sand.

Anyway, that was very well polished !

Escape From Prison Planet by gameXcore 2012-12-17T23:24:00

"Found a spinning goat and was like "What the hell!?!" and died at 415.77 LY..."
Same here. In fact, I went totally distracted, till I realised it was just for fun :D

Really loved the graphics, this is a nice touch. The only little thing that was quite annoying (for me), was the beginning. I didn't understand what happenned, with this planet going farther from my ship. Something went weird with the perspective/and or the parralax, I didn't get I was already playing the ship and could move it.

But I just may be dumb.

Aximilator by VonZippenstein 2012-12-18T07:41:00

Cool graphics! Simple but effective. Got quite quickly bored with the game itself though. Well, I think GeorgeBroussard spoke for all of us. :)

Spare Pieces by sauronz 2012-12-18T15:01:00

Fun game. Came for the goats. Saw them. Happy.

The Dog Days Are Done by evilseanbot 2012-12-18T00:18:00

Yeah! That was very original.

But I had some bad issues, couldn't finish it. White screens flashing when it shouldn't be, my dog wouldn't stop running left too.

But I still get the feeling this game was well done. I could figure out immediately what I had to do: picking up stuff and then dig it. xD
The concept is really great.

I would really enjoy playing this again on a less bugged version.

LD26 — Minimalism

Brushman by Digital Apathy by notepid 2013-04-30T09:23:00

Very smart and nice mechanics. There's really a lot of great stuff to do with this idea. Nice job !

Merkaba by NostraDamon 2013-04-30T07:24:00

Really nice graphics! I got stuck in a rock after a while though...

swim by codl 2013-04-30T09:15:00

Got the same issues with the map generation.

The view kinda annoyed me too. It wasn't smooth enough to fit with the overall mood (in my point of view). My character was always in the left of right part of the screen, so I couldn't see what's coming.

I think, to get more of the "diving into the ocean" feeling you should really care about this view stuff. Getting your character fixed in the center of the screen would perhaps help to feel totally surrounded by water ? Or what about some kind of dezooming too ?

Just some ideas : ) Anyway, nice job !

Fragments of Him by Aceria 2013-04-30T09:37:00

DAMN. I suck so badly. I just, couldn't do anything. I was perpetually stucked by invisible walls, couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't move my "head" vertically till I activate the invert Axe Y. And what's about the remove mechanics ? I tried to click on everything :'(

That's kinda frustrating, the art, the narrative, and the mood seemed really great. I'll try to play the Windows version instead of the web later, cause it really seemed interesting.

Simple Pleasures by Jarrett 2013-04-30T08:51:00

Ok. Really, I don't why, it's hard to admit but, I really enjoyed to flip those damn tables. Putting stuff in a mess, that's always cool \o/

But I think, there's really something to do with that. Don't know, add blood to tables, the more you kill them, the more they become alive and beg for mercy. You should seriously think about adding something narrative in it. I really feel like there's potential.

I really liked it anyway !

Nirvana Quest by dremelofdeath 2013-05-07T09:37:00

Loved the music! Great game.

The Epic Journey of the Narcoleptic Cyber Kitten: Floppy Disk Deluxe by theRestlessTaxidermists 2013-04-30T06:50:00

Wow! Thanks for your feedback! For those having difficulties not falling asleep, remember to avoid using keyboard keys as much as possible. And the more Floppy Disks you use in one sequence, the less your movement will cost you.

We'll be making tons of new levels this week and post the link in here!

Evolism by noa 2013-04-30T11:32:00

Damn! It looks nice but I can't open it (OS X)...

Towers of Rage by robotality 2013-04-30T10:11:00

Really easy, but I enjoyed it very much. Cool graphics! Loved every pixels. :)

Mobius by 3beards 2013-04-30T07:15:00

Great concept! I clearly suck, but I liked every bit of this game. :D

MeenoMinal by niun 2013-04-30T08:43:00

The fact you can't see the ground at the beginning is kinda weird. But... when you get it, it's becoming really challenging to go through the end of levels.

The point that really annoys me, was those little blue platforms. They sometimes didn't show up, because I tried to jump BEFORE discovering them. I guess, that means they already were going up, so I couldn't run on them to make them appear :p (I was trying to jump, I like jumping).

You see what I mean ? You should not allowed the player to interact with the blue platform, till it get shows up. Otherwise, it's really hard to step on it to make it pop.

nadir by zillix 2013-04-30T08:32:00

I'm usually bored by "a lot of dialogue" kind of games. But I eally enjoyed playing this one.

I think, just having to avoid walls while reading, is a very simple idea, but add really something.

Well done !

today is your lucky day by robb 2013-05-07T09:32:00

Would love to see your work in progress for the real game!

The Square - By Suese by Suese 2013-05-02T11:12:00

Nice intro! Attacking was really hard though. May have to tweak that. But overall quite nice!
