LD26 — Minimalism

UNDRCOVR by 16Skittles 2013-04-29T23:19:00

Hi

Pretty cool! even better: eight hour game! :D :D :D

Maybe next time you could try sound effects - a great generator is at http://superflashbros.net/as3sfxr .

Graphics: might want to use the rectangle tool next time on the player. But other than that they're nice.

One thing that ruined it was that enemies took millions of hits to kill. Maybe it's just me not pressing the mouse button fast enough :P

Anyway, great game!

Keepy Uppy by Paul Sinnett 2013-05-02T21:00:00

pretty cool!

I agree with playing a tune w/ the sound effects
maybe making it speed up eventually would be good?

0 by Cosmologicon 2013-05-02T00:19:00

very, VERY hard. but perfect that way!

understood immediately, but can't solve either half.

oh: put a + in the middle and youve got yourself a towlr!

Something Has Changed by nixeldev 2013-05-16T04:00:00

Loved the "aww, no!" loss screen :D

And I laughed when the x axis reversed. You weren't expecting a game about squares to rate high in "Humor", were you? :P

@everyone who wants a windoze build: how do you handle two cursors? two mice?

shon by bitnenfer 2013-04-29T03:30:00

pretty cool.

the background doesn't fill the screen on android though :(

it's so clever, however it doesn't really hold my interest. maybe the game could get harder/faster/both as time goes on?

Unknown by runonthespot 2013-05-02T21:46:00

very hard. my record is 23.

maybe add a restart button?

Feint Signal by brxtr 2013-04-29T23:49:00

nice!

maybe if you could turn left and right...

Greyspace by Spierek 2013-05-03T21:03:00

pretty good

the potato was funny but it didn't fit at all

love the fake errors though!

maybe a version that's longer and with less potatoes would make a sellable game!

Round Box by Webravenz 2013-04-29T23:55:00

5/5!

Drum sounds were epic.
Also, roboto <3 <3 <3

plays very nicely.

Round Box by Webravenz 2013-04-30T00:02:00

try and beat 179 :P

Round Box by Webravenz 2013-04-30T00:06:00

I'm having trouble rating other games because this is too fun! You have something great on your hands here...

(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-04-29T23:30:00

love the tilted + clever gameplay.

wish there was a track other than "silence" though.
ended up repetitititititititive however.

mz by rogerklotz 2013-05-16T04:18:00

nice! got to level 25 with no bombs.

maybe if you could only see your number in certain azones the game would be harder.

curves by quaternary 2013-04-29T23:13:00

@skittles: do you have OpenGL support?
@lemming: install java.

curves by quaternary 2013-05-01T01:05:00

thanks! glad to hear the OSX version actually runs, and that it's actually any fun :P

curves by quaternary 2013-05-06T20:49:00

@dark yay!

@game @700 yeah, the red was a little tacked on, i thought it would be a good idea to make it more challenging

@angelk :D i like low-friction moving too

@heuer there's nothing! i promise!

curves by quaternary 2013-05-21T22:29:00

yay! glad you liked it!

Solitary by PurpleMoustache 2013-05-16T03:33:00

there so should be a nilhilism rating category :D

i liked how frank the narrator was ("You died.") but not sure if that was intentional.

also, liked the water idea. the idea of a main room that changes slightly over time seemed similar of howling dogs.

and the stylesheet was awesome so 5star :D

The Sentient Cube by Omiya Games 2013-05-16T03:04:00

sadface

Rebound - Creatively Bankrupt by mchaza 2013-05-16T20:21:00

very good!

i love the sound effect. my only problem is it's the *only* sound effect ;)

Tubulance by merteor 2013-05-20T23:29:00

YES

My only problem is the colors clashed with each other too much

Antichromatic by arkeus 2013-05-02T21:34:00

got stuck in a death loop here http://imgur.com/7AXWWzB

and *really* frustrating. more impossible-until-you-get-a-xxxxx puzzles than antichamber, which is quite a feat.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Timed Ninjas by rujo 2013-08-26T22:06:00

Very fun, sort of funny too. I got 9/9 but I had to use a metronome :P

My best score with no timing help was 8/9

circles by quaternary 2013-09-09T00:28:00

@malactus moving around a lot does give you more points, but being on a high level does too!

@tomaszmf95 yes they do. Windows32 works under Windows64

@skittles heh thanks

LD28 — You Only Get One

One Axis Maze by Ethancorn 2013-12-23T03:38:00

^ You can press R.

When the levels got larger, it got annoying having to go allll the way there, because you move slow compared to the level. Could have used better graphics too ;)

Wack Only One by TheSnide 2013-12-30T03:14:00

Haha. Got some score w/ at least four 7s.

My mouse has a tendency to double click a lot so this game is like hell :P

That's like 5 themes if you don't want to count them, btw

siamese by ittlebit 2013-12-23T03:58:00

Disconnect?

CAN YOU MAKE A HIT MILLION-DOLLAR GAME IN ONLY ONE TRY by quaternary 2013-12-29T02:53:00

@jacklehamster Guess :P
@drludos Well it took me all of 45 mins :P Hope so.
@everyone-else thx. yeah I know it's no fun :(

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-23T03:33:00

Oh yeah, 17th person to finish. Great twist on the mouse avoider genre. It's not showing all of the other mouse cursors?

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Fantastic Ludum Dare theme generator by tinyworlds 2014-12-13T22:08:00

So inspiring! I'm in!

Resize by crhallberg 2014-12-09T23:07:00

Original and fun game ! Final boss was really interesting, although a little confusing at first. I thought it was funny that I could resize away the spike wall :)

Note - the pink things don't work properly in the embedded player, make sure to click WEB and make it FULLSCREEN.

Talking Heads by ponk 2014-12-08T20:44:00

Very funny graphics and concept. Everything seems super playful and bouncy <3. The reward was great too ! I agree, it really could use levels. Some conversation audio would be really nice too.

Galactyc Budget Flights by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2014-12-16T00:38:00

Funny game and I love the music and sound effects!

I couldn't read the intro text because the scrollbar kept gravitating to the top, and coolant didn't work (pressing space switched to the email tab)

Peter Padder Pauleypop by pjchardt 2014-12-16T01:07:00

Interesting, *really* good sound and visual design. It wasn't very fun, and it felt like a chore catching the "fish", but I can see that that's totally the point!

Funny concept and interesting story. You're a great artist! Can I buy the music anywhere?

My ratings -> http://puu.sh/dwpEY.png ;)

Peter Padder Pauleypop by pjchardt 2014-12-16T01:09:00

Oh, and double thanks for not hiding the Unity graphics config which everyone else is doing for no real reason. Unity does a **horrible** job at detecting my screen resolution, and thanks to you leaving it up I was able to play with crisp graphics, and without the game horribly stretching itself to fit my weird monitor.

Blind Maze by FlashRocks 2014-12-16T00:39:00

I keep moving up and left without touching anything, so I can't play or rate :/

ProtoBot by jhrrsn 2014-12-16T00:57:00

Interesting **MELEE** arena game! I don't think I've seen that before. I keep dying and the progression is kind of slow, however :( Music is PUMPIN! and the graphics, although blurry, are really nice.

Being able to open the stock Unity graphics config would be nice, Unity does a terrible job at auto-detecting my screen size and computer power so I got to play with blurry graphics in the wrong aspect ratio (16:9 squashed into a 5:4 monitor, eww)

Only a Test by PoV 2014-12-08T04:39:00

10 / 10

Wavy Jumps by Mefteg 2014-12-08T23:58:00

Graphics were great! Could use some music and maybe rings shouldn't spawn right next to you.

Entire Screen of One Game by Tom 7 2014-12-09T22:53:00

It didn't destroy my mind too hard, but maybe I'm used to it as a habitual Portal player :)

Great take on the theme.

bricky block by quaternary 2014-12-07T19:51:00

Thank you for playing :) Super happy to know that it works

bricky block by quaternary 2014-12-08T00:00:00

@wandersenus - couldn't get the font working on web, it's not too happy about Processing's font files apparently. I think the font is pretty important.

bricky block by quaternary 2014-12-08T22:50:00

Thanks for the valuable feedback, rabbit. Especially how I added my own style and mechanics which you ignored without even downloading the game. You're the person we all want to be.

bricky block by quaternary 2014-12-08T23:45:00

Thanks everyone ! <3

Glad you like the sounds, I had a lot of fun recording them. The buttons clickies are recorded from my spacebar hehe

Too Many Windows by Linkigi 2014-12-08T23:37:00

scored 5600 :) Really funny and I'm sure everyone here can relate!

Music is great and I like the explosions too :)

Winter invasion by Belvar 2014-12-08T23:55:00

I like the graphics ! Really annoying when someone gets stuck on you because of how high you shoot.

On one of the maps there's a ledge on the left and right, if powerups spawn there you need to boost off of someone's head in order to get up to it, which is frustrating

Block Brigade by CodeNMore 2014-12-16T01:33:00

Graphics are to-the-point, I like them. The sound effects seemed to have a little delay on them for me, but other than that this is a really addicting game! Really could use some music and maybe even health bars.

Can't seem to make it past wave 11.

SMS by Newt_ 2014-12-08T22:56:00

"It's amazing!" "My phone charger broke."

5/5

SMS by Newt_ 2014-12-08T23:01:00

Playing a little more... very interesting. Found myself yelling at the phone, saying "please can I just be happy for her?" interesting game interesting choices... deeper than it looks.

Robot Karma Joe by Jupitron 2014-12-08T22:37:00

I didn't really like how I could just send my soul through everything and skip having to defeat most of the monsters. Fun game though, the music is bumpin' and the story is really funny :D

What if I was... by SilverMediaPro 2014-12-08T20:57:00

nice Scratch game ! I like the different characters and the music is really great. The ending screen felt a little cheesy to me. But now I see how it fits the theme :)

Vanitas I by ProgrammerPony 2014-12-16T00:47:00

I didn't really like it, sorry. The view was too limited for me to see what I was doing very well, and the gameplay itself amounted to walking around and hoping you stumble into a gem. Opening up the view (a lot, by like 5 squares) might help with that.

Nevertheless, the graphics, music, and story are really nice! I'm interested as well to see how this plays out.

Coloring by RevoluGame 2014-12-07T20:05:00

This one's really great :) Satisfying mechanic and very addicting. I think it would make a really great mobile phone game. The black tiles are a nice touch.

I'll be back once the compo's over to rate it :D

Coloring by RevoluGame 2014-12-08T03:05:00

(commenting because I think I have to comment to save my rating)

Unnamed Planetary Defender by Blockers 2014-12-08T22:49:00

Camera shake and sound effects are great, really creates a lot of *bang!!!* feeling when you hit something. Has potential, but as you said, the gravity is pretty irritating. I almost never launch in the direction of my mouse pointer, and it does seem very "random"

That said I like it very much c:

Screen Cutter by squirrel 2014-12-07T20:10:00

I like the logo a lot! There's a couple tiny tiny bugs (I got stuck in the side of a jump pad and it made a *terrifying* noise hahaha) but nothing major. I thought that was funny anyway :)

Super concept, I'll be back to rate

AntiPlane by Grenac 2014-12-16T01:24:00

Really really really could use a soundtrack!!!

Love the shadowy look, idk it might work even better in real 2d. Some minor "pop-in" visual bugs on the objects too but that's not a big deal.

AntiPlane by Grenac 2014-12-30T06:26:00

Gratz on your #23rd rank, you really earned it.

rougish by kraln 2014-12-08T01:24:00

Looks interesting, but when I press H for help it just moves me left :o

Boxes by ijwu 2014-12-08T23:34:00

Click click click! I got 1467, but I may have cheated and used both mouse buttons :)

Dabug by Devark 2014-12-08T23:25:00

I have a feeling this game was inspired by real-life events haha.

Some objects appeared later on with a timer near them, what did those do? I couldn't really figure out what they did.

SIRTET by stray 2014-12-08T22:21:00

Funny how, even in backwards tetris, you still want the long piece :)

Snowman's Land: SNOVERCHILL by RHY3756547 2014-12-09T23:24:00

Oh hey Rhy, it's scratchisthebest. I think I remember you from somewhere. You made "Summer"?

Played by myself for a little bit. My best score is... -250 xD

The map didn't feel designed very well, I would often gravitate towards the top of the room. Some kickback on the snowballs would be a funny way to control yourself slightly in the air too :)

Music is bumpin' and I like how everything is so boingy :) graphics are really cute too. Networked games are daring for 48h, good job :)

The X of Y by Homletmoo 2014-12-08T23:19:00

The room titles were hilarious and the music was sublime. I notices some enemies would just sort of wiggle in place and dance all over the screen if I got far away, which was pretty funny

The Rose Processor by Simon 2014-12-08T22:42:00

Aaaahhh I can't get past level 2!! Very hard. The white triangles were very blurry on my computer.

On my first try I tried matching the red triangle to the white ones, and that wasn't very interesting. Glad I read the directions :)

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

You only get one vote. by eigenbom 2015-12-13T19:41:00

Dammit, button B is better guys

Center by quaternary 2015-12-14T15:10:00

Yeah, you uh didn't have to do both of them. I didn't like growing

Center by quaternary 2015-12-14T20:42:00

Oh, about the screenshake - are you holding down the mouse button? The autofire rate is a bit too much, tbh, and the screen shakes all over the place.

I'd try just clicking instead.

But if you're not holding down the mouse button... oops! sorry about that, i may change it if it gets annoying. It didn't bother me so it never really crossed my mind.

Center by quaternary 2015-12-16T15:51:00

oh, i forgot to make the small screen version

The game is 900x900px so yeah, quite a bit was cut off for you. sorry about that

LD35 — Shapeshift

windowframe by managore 2016-04-18T19:33:00

I also preferred playing with the "real" window rather than the faked one. I imagine it's for making the mouse a bit easier to use because I can click outside of the window. The faked one does look very nice though :P
