LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Little Dude's Epic Adventure by Jim Haslett 2014-12-08T23:44:00

I agree nice touch with the narrator. The controls are good too everything is smooth.

Stick Ninja by tompudding 2014-12-08T22:55:00

The game looks fun I played a bit + the theme is cool, but I don't know if I die or something but the game just stops and it doesn't seem to be a crash.

forty-eight by ramoncb 2014-12-10T00:33:00

Good job on the animations. Also everything is pretty smooth except I would say the jump which feels a bit clunky at times.

Snowman's Revenge by ketura 2014-12-09T20:51:00

Awesome. So I don't know when it is supposed to end but I've killed a bunch of them. I feel like I did my part for the society.

Snowman Stacker by dook 2014-12-08T22:45:00

Very impressive for 7 hours. I had a bit of trouble with the controls too tho.

12 Hours by Wilson 2014-12-08T23:06:00

I liked it, really cool game.

Planetary Body Shooter by kavic 2014-12-08T23:40:00

The graphics are awesome and the game it fun! Good job.

WELLFARE by DeathBySnail 2014-12-09T20:11:00

I laughed a lot good job.

Nauty Sub by ThatsMyJam 2014-12-09T20:15:00

I like the graphic style and the gameplay. Nice game overall.

Survival Camp: A Day-Night game by hoyt hoy 2014-12-08T22:58:00

The controls are weird, and it's super hard at the beginning but I like it.

SoundWaves by Thermite 2014-12-09T19:46:00

I liked the audi oand the controls were really smooth good job.

Boagie Dodge by Boracho 2014-12-09T19:54:00

The game was nice, I think it was a bit too hard to pull of the walljumps sometimes but other than that nice!

Murder on Stage by greytram 2014-12-08T23:53:00

Nice idea. Very different than most games I tried so far. I liked it.

Commando Finest Hour by Meta-link 2014-12-08T23:29:00

Fun game. Good job!

SNOW BRAWL ! by mikozouzou 2014-12-09T19:57:00

Couldn't rate it because I don't have a gamepad which is a bit sad because it looked fun.

Pony Island by Danman9914 2014-12-08T23:47:00

It was awesome. Great job!

T.E.G.O.O.S. by Tosic 2014-12-09T20:24:00

Damn that game was weird but it was nice.

Harvestier by killthealias 2014-12-09T20:32:00

I can't download it (windows) but I watched the timeline. Really good looking game.

Catspoutine versus Evil Snowmen Army by MrMordem 2014-12-09T20:40:00

Like others said. The art is cool and the concept too, but it is REALLY slow. Imo they should spawn at least 2 by 2 after 4 or 5 waves.

Straight Fighter by felix3456 2014-12-08T22:50:00

I think it's a good concept, I love the wall jump thing.

I see you can change the controls in a file which is cool but your regular controls are still really weird tho.

BLAZE by taviandir 2014-12-11T00:02:00

Very fun. I liked it a lot.

RGB by Conk 2014-12-09T00:05:00

Great game. Nothing more to say really. The visuals are very nice even tho they are simple and the gameplay is smooth and fun.

I played multiple games. I suck at it tho.

Pong Invaders by Zabuza 2014-12-09T20:44:00

Really really fun I loved it.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-08T22:28:00

Thank you for your comments.

The worst part is actually that the wall bumping code is bugged. If I could have made the collision and the sounds related to that work correctly it would instantly become way easier.
You should be supposed to tell "ok I hit a wall on the left" > you press left sounds of hitwall plays again. You press any other direction the footsteps play again.
But this doesn't work properly so you get lost really fast.
This bug correction + more sound and I think it could be fun to play.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-08T23:20:00

@DaRaziel I agree with you for the blind people but maybe I should not have called it that. It's more like an Audio Maze.

I do think that the feels could be given by sounds tho, but that would need more work.

I should have done only 2 zones it would have devided my work by at least 2 and it would be probably better.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-08T23:23:00

@bobismijnnaam Definitly not a success like a said on my description.

Sorry for the message I did the UI part in a hurry. haha
The world is in 3D and left/right are basically strafe.

It does lack a lot of explaining on top of the bugs but I kinda failed my game design. It's more like a one week project than a two day one.
Especially since it was my first Wwise to Unity implementation.

No idea about the Unity thing tho sorry.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-09T01:05:00

@bakudas I used soundbanks but they are allowed, I got official confirmation before posting this.

The rest is just shitty graphics.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-09T01:07:00

(because they treat it as an instrument just like the music samples) > If anyone wanders why.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-09T08:38:00

@cxsquared Thank you. Since it seems like the general idea is : "great idea but needed more time" I am definitly going to continue this game.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-10T00:52:00

@CMWeissMedia I didn't have enough time for that sadly.

@Ryusui : Yes the hitting wall behaviour is the "game breaking" bug that I have. This is what makes the game too hard. Again I had time problems.

I wanted to do the compo so I had to do it in 48h.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-10T19:04:00

@brokenbeach Thank you. I do plan to work on it. It was more like a one week full time project I think.

TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-13T22:45:00

Hi guys for the people who might still read this :

I have kept working on it and I fixed every bug + I added some features (like the UI)
I am about to improve as much as I can my current sound design.

The Spy by cyrus 2014-12-10T18:55:00

Good stuff I liked it. Great atmosphere too.

Do you want to kill a snowman? by Tunuko 2014-12-08T23:03:00

The theme is awesome, had me laughing at the title.

It is a bit hard tho but still it feels cool. I don't have a QWERTY so it doesn't help either with the controls.

Mechanism by p1x3lruckus 2014-12-08T23:11:00

The game is really nice. Well done.

EGOS by Mopz 2014-12-08T22:33:00

Very cool I like the feel of it!

Lull by WatercressStudios 2014-12-09T19:40:00

Loved the art and the audio. Good job!

Save Xmas Gifts by Gread72 2014-12-08T22:42:00

I liked the graphics and the gameplay is simple but fun + good theme. No problem for me I have the presents and everything works.

I think you should maybe tweak the speed of the gift tho as some of them are very hard/impossible to catch.

The Story of Cheap Ranger by DavidVisscher 2014-12-08T23:58:00

One of my favorite game so far. Lot's of fun. Good job!

LED by Nakate 2014-12-09T20:06:00

very polished game. I liked it a lot. You have a very good difficulty curve.

El Dictador by Asaratha 2014-12-08T23:34:00

I loved some of the dialogue on your game. Also fun + different than most LD games.

Case #31 by Pestel Crew 2014-12-09T19:44:00

Best game I've played really impressive art and everything.

Dudley Digger Diamond Driller by bigbazwa 2014-12-08T23:27:00

Very smooth and fun. I liked it.

V for Vectory: Maximum Overquill Edition by quill18 2014-12-08T23:15:00

It's amazing for only a 48 hour game. I follow your video on youtube and that was to be expected but still. Great.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Bacannon by donan 2015-04-20T00:25:00

Very fun concept! Good job on the art too.

Null Chroma by Chris Delta 2015-04-20T05:22:00

Cool concept. Sometimes tho I didn't know if I lost or if the game crashed (it happened very early).

But it is a very nice use of the theme!

Light_Carnage by Valon 2015-04-21T19:43:00

It's weird that you guy find the controls odd, this is basically the character controller from Unity.

But thank you for the comments, I am aware that the game would need a lot of work but I actually spent less than 24 hours on it probably.

DRILL KNIGHT by Cryotube 2015-04-20T05:28:00

Awesome!

Agent Of Souls by Norbex 2015-04-20T00:23:00

Very nice idea and good looking art.

I got stuck quite a bit of time on walls and whatnot tho. But nice game!

You are the carré by thedarknightdu78 2015-04-20T05:39:00

Cool idea!

Pacifist Piper by Pete Hufnagel 2015-04-20T05:20:00

Very nice idea! I had fun playing it.

LD33 — You are the Monster

Monsta Stelth Gem by Alan Masimba Walker 2015-08-26T05:44:00

Nice game! Like other said : pretty difficult but it's a nice thing.

Fangs by Valon 2015-08-24T08:45:00

Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't necessary meant it to be stealth. I personnaly play it using a lot of toggle on/off on the Y power and jumping around over buildings and stuff, not really with stealth. I mean in a way it is stealth but it's more in and out kind of stuff to me. Not wait around in a corner.

I wasn't aware of the alarm/T sound bug my bad. I definitly have a line of code stopping the alarm sound tho which is weird.

For the music I didn't really have time, I did this fast but I feel the "metal" loop kinda pumps up the gameplay. Could use more variety for sure.

Fangs by Valon 2015-08-24T23:02:00

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I actually almost didn't put any music but then I decided it would be better even with this super repetitive one which I did in like 10 min since I was late. Maybe it was not the better choice.

Fangs by Valon 2015-08-25T08:06:00

I'll try to put a web build tonight

Fangs by Valon 2015-08-27T11:32:00

Thanks for the new feedback guys.

Also I can't really put a web build since my Wwise is acting up. I would have to redo a new sound integration I think.

KidsGrace by Polith Games 2015-08-26T06:31:00

Nice game! Fun and nice graphs.

Bar the Door by Rose 2015-08-24T20:59:00

Really cool concept! Didn't manage to ever kill 0 people tho but it might be me being bad. (probzbly)
