LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Fruit Factory by abdurrahmankh 2014-12-09T16:18:00

Would have liked the controls to be less float-y. Apart from that I like it.

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-08T23:38:00

If you can't download from the links can you leave me a comment so I can fix Dropbox please. Thank you.

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:08:00

Ok. Anotak, I've found the problem but unfortunately it is more than a typo so I can't fix it. Try replaying. The majority of the time it will work when re-opening the game. That is all the help I can give. :( I apologize.

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:19:00

Ok never mind. I just re-read the rules and in game crashing scenarios I can fix it. I will re-upload.

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:26:00

Ok try again. I just re-uploaded the fixed version.

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:29:00

Thanks!

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:39:00

BoxedMeatRevolution I have just tested the download on my Mac again and I couldn't find the problem you were describing. It was an existing problem for the downloads a short time ago. Can you re-download again to see if it works? If it doesn't then try re-opening the application.

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:52:00

Thank you gmaker! pyrmidion did you try re-opening it?

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T16:55:00

pyrmidion what OS are you using? When did this Exception occur? During the Splash Screen, Main Menu. Please can you give more details?

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T17:07:00

Thanks!

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T23:02:00

Thank you for the comments. I'll try recompiling the JDK, thanks kruemelkeksfan!

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-14T03:08:00

Thanks! It was meant to be challenging! Wait? How did you know I used a game engine... interesting to say the least. xD

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-20T13:47:00

Thank you p1x3lruckus for the feedback I did realize that some features where not in my engine but I'm adding them now so next time my game will be better. I like your idea about freezing to add more of a challenge. Thanks and I did have sound effects but they broke on export. Another problem I need to fix. :/

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-21T22:35:00

Its good to see everyone likes the game mostly. I'm actually going to start work on something similar I think.

Snowman Crossfire! by Crazy046 2014-12-09T17:22:00

Though the controls were a bit awkward I actually enjoyed that so much! Loved the sounds by the way!

Driving Blind by Balzaque 2014-12-09T17:12:00

Loved the concept but turning left didn't work for me. I don't know if I was being stupid or what so... You should carry on with this game. It is a nice idea.

It's SnowMazing!!! by Sharky 2014-12-09T16:16:00

This won't run? It just opens up a folder. Also, why does this need network access?

Stay Fast by Skinny Jean Death 2014-12-09T16:32:00

The game won't run. Here's the Error details:

Oops. Sorry didn't see it post at first...

Untitled Snow Survival by d3dc 2014-12-09T16:45:00

I couldn't understand the objective of the game and I don't know how I was meant to build a house? I didn't rate because I haven't played what this game has to offer by the way.

Flashlight by Team Flashlight 2014-12-09T16:11:00

Loved it. The game is incredibly addictive and I loved the lighting.

LD33 — You are the Monster

Escape of the Slime Monster by airfrog 2015-08-25T01:28:00

Cool concept

Pinky's Nightmare by zenmumbler 2015-08-25T01:32:00

Cool concept, I like the idea and definitely feels creepy going through the foggy maze.

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-25T01:09:00

Crash scenario fixed, download now finished.

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-25T01:49:00

Thanks for telling me, links been removed.

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-25T02:01:00

No no no, you are the monster as per the theme ;) Yeh, my engine *cough* may be a bit bulky sorry. Wasn't sure about 120 seconds but I thought it was just long enough to get a decent score that is above 70 :/ thanks for playing!

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-25T02:20:00

You need Java 1.8 (the latest) Stephen

Atomic do you mean you went to the menu and back in to a game after getting the score and it was no longer there because that is intentional so you can get the highest score per game.

Thanks for playing :)

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-25T10:42:00

Ill condense it a little bit and post it as OS/X port. (The OS/X port will still not be working)

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-25T12:41:00

Realized condensing is actually impossible here, my apologies.

Shifting by Vacso 2015-08-28T10:41:00

I downloaded directly from Dropbox and it ran fine, did you try re-downloading and where did this happen? On start or mid-way?

Shifting by Vacso 2015-09-02T16:16:00

Yeah, truth be told that was bad timing taking effect. With two hours I had to design and fill a menu, add cats, draw cats and draw the monster. I was going to draw the monster's left and right but I couldn't decide on the body type and stuff. Glad you liked it though ;)

Shifting by Vacso 2015-09-03T23:50:00

Just got a top score of 214 :) Don't expect anyone to care, I'm just happy about it.

Executioner by TheZiggy 2015-08-25T01:54:00

Like the way being the monster was interpreted when I realized I killed someone with a family for fraud but left the double murderer with no family live.

It's Only You by Flaid 2015-08-25T02:05:00

Not sure about theme relation but I love the voices, I couldn't climb the rope though. There were like seven keys in a row to hit, apart from that I loved it.

Photographer by skarik 2015-08-25T01:19:00

How do you tell them to pose?

Photographer by skarik 2015-08-25T01:20:00

I may have just killed him, cool mechanic :)

iMonster by chkkll 2015-08-25T01:42:00

Love the Dark Engine style to the game and the sounds are very classic styled.

TURN ON THE LIGHT by Avant-Marde 2015-08-25T01:23:00

You just made me crap my pants when I was caught and I was aware it was about to happen. 10/10 for audio, mood, overall. Looks sick :)
