LD42 — Running out of space

Deadlock by Geckoo1337 2018-08-26T22:07:47Z

really liked the look and feel. The puzzling mechanic too seems intuitive and well executed

Flood by Megalink 2018-08-17T02:36:53Z

Effective graphics, and very engaging gameplay. The world generation aspect was very interesting, too. I liked that I wasn't playing on the same map each time. The transitions between world chunks, I thought were a bit slow

Wow, this is my new gold standard for what the innovation category is for

Shrinking Panes by Pennycook 2018-08-17T01:23:53Z

Great and unique game! At the end it stole my mouse and didn't exit, so I had to alt+f4, maybe a browser issue. overall really nice entry and great use of theme

Literally by batmanasb 2018-08-17T02:47:47Z

Very fun mechanic, hard too. I couldn't exactly figure out how to land, but judging from the other comments, it seem possible, so I guess thats just me :_) I liked the humor and use of theme. My game used a similar orbit/gravity system

Stardust by ohmmus 2018-08-13T04:23:09Z

Very interesting mechanic! Really started to appreciate it when things started to heat up

Big Crunch by wolderado 2018-08-17T02:28:20Z

Very fun, difficult at times but the high scores system was a great feature and good motivator to keep playing. Cool graphics, procedurally generated rocks? in some ways, the look of objects at a distance was a bit flat, but overall the look of the game was super nice

Precious Things by Patrick Woodcock 2018-08-13T23:17:00Z

what would I do without all these toilets?! loved the sprites, very cute art style could be a very fun mechanic for more diverse level types! As it is super-hoarder did not feel hard enough. Mechanics and physics are solid. Collisions and how stacks of object behave has a good feeling

Running out of Toaster by Jegus9 2018-08-13T23:34:37Z

The level design seems well thought out, the plot is funny I really liked the sounds too. At one point I got stuck half in a wall when I respawned at a lamp

Running out of Toaster by Jegus9 2018-08-14T01:33:59Z

@jegus9 it was in the area where you are having to climb up and dodge projectiles from two different boiling pots. There is a flat vertical wall and one lamp right up alongside it, perhaps partially overlapping, and it was that lamp where I got stuck

Star Skipper by NoahRo 2018-08-17T01:45:18Z

Took me quite a few retries to really get the hang of it. Engaging and challenging level design, well done

Junk Dealerz by Lodugh 2018-08-17T01:15:44Z

So good! Great art style and mood. Controls felt fluid even though I had trouble with the melee

Old Hag VS Cat by sankacoffee51 2018-08-13T23:42:16Z

the combination of graphics and sounds and the plotline were just too funny. Linux build seems to work just fine, i found that the mouse/look controls were a bit sluggish which threw off my movement a bit. Great entry

The Big Crunch by Vincent Knauss 2018-08-13T03:40:13Z

@adrisj7 thanks for letting me know about that! It requires Java 9, so if Java is not up to date this may be an issue. Also, uploaded some more screenshots

The Big Crunch by Vincent Knauss 2018-08-13T04:35:08Z

For those willing to compile from source, it's possible a Java SE 1.8 compatible build could be generated by changing the fields maven.compiler.version and maven.compiler.source in the project's pom.xml to 8 where they are currently set as 9. Then update the maven dependencies (in Eclipse: right click project->Maven->update) and rebuild I don't know how to verify if this will work but it might be worth a shot for anyone dedicated

The Big Crunch by Vincent Knauss 2018-08-17T14:34:52Z

@huskitch platform and java version?

The Mansion by EVEN GAMES 2018-08-17T01:59:05Z

Very hard and fun. Had so much trouble until I realized there was a double jump. Even so, can't say I made it all the way through. I really liked the look and feel of the graphics, though I got a weird glitch that persisted after my first "game over" where an area in the upper portion of the screen was flashing, on linux build

Cosmic Escape 1999 by Chocolat-Endive 2018-08-13T23:24:27Z

beautiful graphics, great use of theme!

AGAIN by Colorfiction 2018-08-26T21:49:03Z

pretty graphics, if sometimes overwhelming. The controls felt a bit like I was on ice, but in some way I feel like that worked with the visual style. overall well done

Claustrophobic Typist by Willyb321 2018-08-19T05:53:56Z

Simple but engaging and well executed! Though the pacing seems a bit fast but that might just be me.. :) I got 25 on normal, 105 on casual!

Waterlogged by Brosilio 2018-08-13T23:48:17Z

I'm having trouble connecting to the site for the links. Just shows an about:blank page that says connecting but never connects. I like the style from the look of the screenshots, though!
