LD27 — 10 Seconds

TimeStep by Jellycakes 2013-08-26T18:48:00

Very nice game! The 10 second timestopper watch was a very nice use of the theme! Although not much innovation because there were ALOT of shooters. It was fun i enjoyed playing, The graphics were very minimal but i liked them, reminds me of old fps's. It would have been a bit better with some music. not much humor, and the mood was very good, overall really nice game!

Sundial by Recursiveanomaly 2013-08-26T03:51:00

Very nice, like how it has a good lighting system, and the images are very high quality, nice job!

Bragmor the Barbarian by Codexus 2013-08-29T20:23:00

Very very nice game! Was very fun. Graphics were very nice along with the audio. game was fun to play, and i haven't seen anything like this here yet. Overall great game.

Test Chambers by 0xc0dec 2013-08-26T18:07:00

Nice game, I like the graphics and particle effects, as well as the music, just would like a sound to indicate when you pickup a sphere, or when a meteor hits the ground. Overall very nice.

Anti - Explosive Babies by ToadieTechnika 2013-08-25T17:37:00

Nice! This is a really good game. it works well mechanically, and it's fun.

Capture the Massively Multiplayer Online Flag! A Real Time Turn Based game that happens in increments of 10 seconds. by dcolgan 2013-08-26T02:23:00

Really good game, watched the stream.

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-25T17:58:00

thanks!

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-25T19:42:00

Thanks!

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-25T23:29:00

Thanks, and lol yeah those are my everyday tools.

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-26T18:51:00

Yeah, the about page I forgot the button and didn't realize until I put it up. And thanks for all the feedback, guys!

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-26T18:54:00

b.t.w. would the absence of a button on the about page count as a typo error?

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-26T19:55:00

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah the continue button was just for saying "Oh, if you want to not continue you don't have to". Granted I could have put the continue button mapped to a button. The font is just Arial because I don't know if I can use a site like 1001freefonts also I don't know how to make a .ttf. But I'm glad you liked it!

Boulder Runner by tinfoilboy 2013-08-28T19:13:00

lol, yeah. the camera was a bitch and a half seeing as how i had to make it follow the player and i'ed never attempted that before.

Sixth of a Minute by Tork 2013-08-25T19:46:00

Really nice. I like the graphics and the game is responsive. Good Work.

Ten Second Clone by Dream Of Sleeping 2013-08-26T18:21:00

Nice game, liked the travel back in time to shoot your clone gameplay, the graphics are okay, sound is well done imo, theme is very implemented in the game with the clone mechanic, I enjoyed playing the game, and overall it's very good. Nice job!

Glitch by Sam Oates Games 2013-08-26T18:14:00

Very nice game, the glitch mechanic was really cool as well as the bsod effect(hl3.exe has stopped working). The ambiance sounds were cool, one thing I don't like though is that the character slides so jumping is difficult. Overall really good.

ROBO-TIC by Omar_q8 2013-08-26T19:04:00

Very nice concept! The game is very fun and has a great idea to it, robots that explode after 10 seconds is awesome, just the idea gives this game a very nice feel imo, the robots control well and very responsive. The game is very fun in it self, the graphics fit this and go really good. the audio was great. The game is kinda humorous, and the mood is very well done. Overall very fun and well executed game!

Hadean Rampage by Zephyr89 2013-08-25T17:41:00

Really good game, loving the art style!

Lost Pixel by unitycoder_com 2013-08-26T18:27:00

I like this game, the concept is there and working which is nice, not much music on this but the timer beep helps, the graphics were okay, really only colored quads. It was fun to play, not much humor in it but, who really cares about humor? And it had a nice mood. Overall good job.

GunJoust by Vic 2013-08-26T18:36:00

Very nice! I find this very innovative because I haven't seen a jousting entry here. It was a really fun game, although I would improve the enemy as he copy's what you do which is not what you would expect, also make a mouse unlocker and locker because the mouse is really annoying. I like the implementation of the theme, as 10 second jousts. The graphics were outstanding for 48 hours, the audio was good and I had a laugh while playing the game, and the mood is very nice. Good job!

Defense of the Zorion by RobProductions 2013-08-26T19:45:00

I really like this game, the idea of a wave based defense system just makes me like this game a lot more because I haven't seen an upgrade wave type game like this yet. It was really fun, and the theme was well implemented. I like the graphics because I like minimalist graphics, the audio is really good to! Like the music alot, not much humor at all. And the mood is good! Great job!

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Delve by conormn 2014-04-26T04:45:00

It doesn't work on any platform.

Delve by conormn 2014-04-26T04:45:00

Touch screens wouldn't even play due to flash being booted.

Radix by phi 2014-04-28T23:37:00

I like this game. It has a lot of great things going for it. To be honest, I haven't seen a plant growing game, so I was very pleased to see something like that. The game was pretty fun, and I liked how you used the theme. Going beneath the surface to get water to grow your tree is a very nice interpretation of the theme. The graphics were pretty good, and it was pretty funny. Overall nice work!

LD39 — Running out of Power

The Fallen by CliffracerX 2017-08-01T03:38:07Z

Nice job for a single day! I do have a few concerns though, the beginning parts of the game aren't very well documented, as for instance, in the help page, it talks about holstering your weapon, but nothing about how to do that. Also, the gun seems useless at closer ranges with the enemies, as it does seemingly zero damage. There's some polish to be done, but for a single day, this is a great creation. With some work, this could be a really cool game. Continue this!

Power Restoration by tinfoilboy 2017-08-01T02:28:01Z

@teacapn glad you enjoyed it! I agree that there should be a bit more explanation to how to play and how the game works mechanically, besides in the readme and in the LD description.

Power Restoration by tinfoilboy 2017-08-01T15:17:26Z

@sheepolution glad you enjoyed the game! What about the jumping felt odd to you, if you don't mind me asking?

Power Restoration by tinfoilboy 2017-08-01T15:19:04Z

@pandorfa I'm sorry to hear about that, it runs fine on my Windows 10 machine. Did you try installing the VC++ Redist that was linked here?

Power Restoration by tinfoilboy 2017-08-01T15:19:13Z

Also, could I have some more info about your specifications?

Power Restoration by tinfoilboy 2017-08-02T20:31:56Z

@zoglu Ah yeah! I hadn't really done 2D "physics" code in a while, so all I did was add to the current velocity. Thank you, fixed it right up.

Power Restoration by tinfoilboy 2017-08-02T20:36:02Z

@diptoman That's no good! I tried to make the platforms be at least partially visible at the default resolution (1280x720) so you at least knew where to go, but I might have messed that up toward the end. Also yes, I was cutting it close for the time so I decided to try and do more things mechanically rather than add animations, though that will probably be next on my list.

REAMS by CameronPenner 2017-08-01T03:15:39Z

This was a super cool game! I loved the graphics and the overall atmosphere. I feel the audio also added a lot to the game, creating a sort of ominous tone. I really enjoyed the idea behind the use of the theme, with the central power core. Overall, a super solid game for 72 hours! Keep working on this, I'd personally love to see more.

B:/ Connected by AidanMarkham 2017-08-03T01:19:39Z

Cool little idea! I like the idea of "remote controlling" the robots through a terminal. Flesh this out more!

A Night at Grandpa's by Kingethaniel 2017-08-01T02:37:31Z

That was a really cool experience! I loved your interpretation of the theme, and I also really enjoyed the art style. The game was pretty challenging for me at first (was super bad at managing my light). Also the audio was really cool and added a good bit to the atmosphere in my mind. This was a really cool game overall! Solid job!

Battery boy is running out of juice ! by Batheo3000 2017-08-02T04:34:14Z

I really enjoy the art of this game! It's a cute little style, I dig it. Though, I felt like those rockets are a little OP. Overall though, great job!

Wind-Up Knight by joemag 2017-08-01T05:10:14Z

I enjoy this concept a lot. The idea of a wind-up toy as a mechanic is an untapped market, that I feel you could flourish in. Flesh out this game a little more, and I think that you have a sweet concept on your hands. The only issue I could see is that, besides the GUI, there is no indicator of when your winding is running out. Other than that, I found it pretty solid.

Manual Overload by Shawn Beck 2017-08-01T04:47:30Z

Funny little game. I liked the pace of it, kept me on edge throughout my play time. Especially when you get down into the 10s of power and the sound starts playing. The graphics and audio were also really cool. Overall, great work!

rop by cyfixus 2017-08-02T03:01:04Z

Nice little game. The title screen was bit much, I disliked the font, made it a bit hard to read. Though, the game itself was pretty fun, I could see myself playing that a little bit to beat my score. Though, I didn't like how the enemies saw me through walls. Though overall, nice job for 48 hours!

GLOW by abductedPlatypus 2017-08-01T04:02:36Z

Pretty cool idea for a game. I enjoyed the atmosphere around the game, the graphics, the sound, all that came together really well. I feel that the enemies (and the controls) were kind of wonky, and could be polished up a bit. Though, this was a really cool concept, and a really nice game for 48 hours, great job!

Rush by Shinmera 2017-08-02T03:44:10Z

Cool idea for a game. I liked the graphics a lot, and it was a cool concept. Though, I feel that the darkness of the game was wayyy to dark, as I could barely see where I was going half the time. Also, the wall jumping seemed a little strange to me, but besides that, nice game for 72 hours!

Wires and Robots by MiltonNH25 2017-08-02T04:12:24Z

Nice little time killer game. I enjoyed the base mechanic a lot, and felt that it fit the theme very well. Overall, very nice game, keep expanding on this!

Roboy Awakening by Arden 2017-08-02T01:40:26Z

This game was super sweet! I loved the interpretation of the theme and the gameplay was super solid. The art and sound was terrific, and was very pleased playing. The only thing I didn't know about was the elevator pads (thought they were tables at first, haha). Other than that, superb game, continue making this!

Bunker at Day Zero by sean.beyer 2017-08-01T00:48:34Z

I'm not particularly a huge fan of resource management games, personally. But this one actually seemed quite well done in my mind. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the graphics were pretty nice in my mind as well. I survived about 12 days, personally. Though, I feel like the needs of the people in the bunker could be better displayed, such as with an icon over them. Also the attack mode seemed a bit unbalanced to me, but that just could be me not knowing what I'm doing.

Ultimate by OnlySimple 2017-08-02T04:22:52Z

Very nice for your first LD game! I enjoyed the aesthetic of it and I liked the idea a good bit. I also quite enjoyed the retro feel. Though, I felt that the screen shake was a little jarring, and the sound was a bit loud. Overall though, nice job, boyo!

Hoverboard Electrician by Odd1In 2017-08-02T02:53:42Z

Nice little time-kill game. Though, I found that the power pickups blended in with the world a tiny bit. I feel like if you spiced it up a bit with maybe some power ups, I could see it being a good mobile game. Overall, nice work!

Wrong Slumber by ick 2017-08-01T00:40:45Z

This was a pretty fun game! Reminded me a little of Devil Daggers without the infinite ammo. I spent a good bit of time playing it, I loved the gameplay a lot, and the lighter fluid idea I thought was pretty nicely tied in with the theme. Though I feel like after a point the enemy counts get a little bit ridiculous, overall good work in my eyes!

Greenhouse Dystopia by DeadlyAlive 2017-08-01T01:11:44Z

Just finished a run through of this game, and it was super tough! I dug the art and the sound a lot, and I laughed at a few parts (the DLC joke made me laugh out loud, literally). I also enjoyed the concept and felt that you made it fit the theme super well. Though, the game, as I said is hard. I feel that, with that sole attack that you do, it can instantly kill you, to the point where I mainly would jump over enemies as opposed to hitting them. I feel like a less power hungry attack would definitely help a bit (at the very least stagger the enemy).

Overall though, this was a super solid game! Continue working on this!

Power Loss by Pixel Programmer 2017-08-01T03:25:34Z

Pretty challenging, but fun game. I enjoyed the art style and the enemies were challenging to a point where it was encouraging at each death to keep trying and defeating them. The movement was pretty good, aside from the fact that the jump was kind of wimpy. Though I really loved the rest of the game. I'd say flesh this out a bit more, it could be a solid game down the line!

Fall Sleep by MichelAlonso 2017-08-01T05:04:01Z

Very short, but really cool in my mind. I liked how you interpreted the theme, with power being the light around you keeping you awake. The controls felt a little sluggish at times, but overall was a fun tiny game!

Selfie Or Die by Lazy Goblins 2017-08-01T02:55:58Z

Fun little game. I liked the idea of having to take a selfie to keep your power up, also the idea of killing enemies with a twig was fun. I do have some complaints with the combat though. It felt really hard to actually hit enemies when playing the game. In most cases, I had to attack and spin around a bunch to kill an enemy. Also, I didn't see a way to replenish power, so at some point, taking a selfie was actually incredibly harmful, though I may have just missed something. Was overall a fun game though! Keep on making this!

Automate to Triumph by Juin 2017-08-02T01:54:25Z

Nice game! Good for passing time or a good mindless game to play when talking to a friend. I found your integration with the theme to be well done, and this was, in my mind, a very good game.
