LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Fireman Pissaro by AnimeGeek32 2015-04-20T18:46:00

Nice! Like the way the character is moving like a drunken person X_o

Off to the Races by RyanNielson 2015-04-20T12:34:00

Fun! But a little too repetitive, obviously :p And I didn't test with friends, it must be funnier. The graphics are cute and the music is nicely chosen!

Corporal Cancer by AODQ 2015-04-22T22:30:00

The jumpers seem a good idea but I also find it a little too hard for me, even if I reached a cig note!

Rocket Rabbit by jcmoyer 2015-04-22T20:25:00

Nice! It's a shooter, nothing less, nothing more, but entertaining, and with carrots.

I didn't manage to kill the big circular boss, it's too hard for me (but I'm quite bad at shooters).

Combine Carnage by acro 2015-04-22T20:44:00

Impressive graphics! Also I like the way you can harvest everything, and the voice. But I got two bugs :
- while going into level 2, the camera was stuck in the ground and the harvester didn't want to move any more.
- And I got also this in level 2 the second time I played:
"Out of memory. If you are the developer of this content, try allocating more memory to your WebGL build in the WebGL player settings"

Crayon Poke by Raiyumi 2015-04-28T14:11:00

Amazing! Very polished, very enjoyable. I did not reached the end, however, I'm stuck in a place with a pig and two buttons, and the "D" button does nothing (I have 0 "crayon" yet, I think?). And it seems to have saved my ip, so I can't try again from the beginning.

Confess-O-Matic by virtualtoy 2015-04-28T19:40:00

Nice! Good idea of using medieval imagery, and I like the concept of a "Confess-O-Matic", but the game itself is course quickly repetitive, it would be better with more features, like bonuses which slow down the frieze or unexpected perturbations in the pictures order. The music is really entertaining and participate to the cool absurdity of the game, but maybe would be better if it was more "medieval"-style.

Wee Pon by DarkMeatGames 2015-04-28T16:26:00

I got an error at boot, the first time:

Unable to load mono library from "D:/Desktop/ludum_dare/LD32_weepon/Release 01 - PC/LD32_WeePon_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 126).

But the second time, no problem!

Very impressive game for a Ludum Dare! I like the way I discovered new "features" of the Wee Pon like smashing the enemies. Graphics are nice, particularly the death animations.

Ridiculous Bird Hunting by eastes 2015-04-28T18:23:00

5/5 for the graphics, it's so colorful! And the Bieber horn and the Falcon are both really good ideas.

This would be better if the player was able to move, it's a little bit frustrating to not be able to move.
It would also be better with the music shut off or reduced temporarily when Bieber sing (even if maybe more difficult to endure, haha).

PS: Poor cute birds :(

Timegun by Markus 2015-04-28T16:08:00

Graphics are interesting! With some ambient sound/music, this could give a nice ambiance. Shooting enemies is fun, but there are not enough of them, and of course at this development point there is no challenge because they don't seem to be dangerous. Also, collision bug: you can look through walls, I don't think it's expected.

Friend Maker Gun by elefantopia 2015-04-28T22:35:00

Nice idea, impressive! But in practice the player movement is too slow and the weapon reload time is too long, it's a bit frustrating. Maybe it would be better with shorter reload times, faster movement, and more enemies to make up?

The revenge of the little garlic by borgi 2015-04-29T09:23:00

Nice and fun idea! Awesome graphics, and particularly the garlic eyebrows when the vampire attack humans. Only pitfall: it's a pity there is no sound and music. Also, my vampire got stuck at the door too.

Protector Of The Shrine by maunovaha 2015-04-20T15:38:00

Funny! I was able to defend the shrine until score 1250. The command key "1" would be better with a mouse right click or a space key though.

Lalyvilley by From Smiling 2015-04-20T19:34:00

Excellent and visually beautiful! Maybe a bit too difficult though. I managed to get 4 stars over 5.

NOPAEW by Anikki 2015-04-28T14:52:00

Awesome! Particularly the visuals.
Only complaints: not enough respawn points (on the beginning of the game particularly); and sometimes some keys disappear after dying. I managed to get through the end, though :)

Angry Beavers by PixelStuff 2015-04-28T12:20:00

Funny! Graphics are nice, I reached 30, not sure how we lose at this game though, if it's time-limited or a beaver passed on the left of the screen?

Space Enforcer by Suhvan4ik 2015-04-28T13:29:00

Funny! I like it, but it's quite difficult, and maybe boring after a while, it would need some added features like power-up or things which change the game behavior (Great effort, still!)

LD33 — You are the Monster

The Red Planet by Zccc 2015-08-28T14:59:00

Awesome graphics and ambiance! Cons: the game is slow, not enough checkpoints which is frustrating.

Takodemon by Split82 2015-08-25T08:35:00

Nice atmosphere, but but the commands MONSTER are a little bit difficult/frustrating. Might have been better with QWERTYUIOP or maybe some mouse control.

Gave up at the level with the swing, too much frustrating.

Impressive work for a 7-hours project!

Architect Of Terror by Volatile Dove 2015-08-25T14:00:00

@Rongon no, just the Unity physics engine (Rigidbody component), and quite simple movement rules (like for example "red go to yellow position") causing interesting mayhem!

Ovipositor by DMinsky 2015-08-25T09:34:00

5/5 for graphisms

Moon werewolf by Rongon 2015-08-25T13:52:00

I liked it, even if it was on PC, still very fun! And good ambiance with the background music and the texts which regularly appear on the screen (I would suggest another text font though). Also, good idea to add inquisitors, maybe a game with more levels with various challenges like this would be interesting.

Path of a Psychopath by eemmbbeerr 2015-08-25T13:23:00

Nice mood! even if I'm not fond of interactive stories, I played until the end.

Heavy Hunt by Ping78 2015-08-28T15:26:00

Nice! Good IA for the chicken and sheeps, this creates some challenge. Also the messages are cool.

Constellaris by AnglerteamGames 2015-08-28T15:44:00

Nice game and challenging (but it's quite far to the theme).

Hammer Destroyer by tmpxyz 2015-08-30T09:53:00

Nice graphics and the city is cool. A little bit repetitive though, could have more varied challenges.

Coin Block Clicker by Mykaelos 2015-08-30T09:44:00

Good game! At first I feared that there was nothing more than a trigger, but no, the twist was nice!

Didn't understand how critical bonuses were working, though. Maybe you could show these critical hits with bigger/different coins maybe, or show a brief evanescent "+1 coin" each time the coin block is pressed.

Inokan by gillenew 2015-08-28T15:32:00

Nice graphics but a little bit difficult.

Dreamcatchers by Indiestry 2015-08-30T10:06:00

Great art style!

Small bug: when I lose and restarted, the screen was reversed and the game was not working any more.

Monster by SMASH BASH 2015-08-25T08:13:00

Very good graphics!
Kept me walking until the end, the disclosures at the end of the game are not totally clear though.

Chirping Of Blood by onilink_ 2015-08-25T09:05:00

Pros: fun and graphics, really like the blood covering and cleaning. However, it doesn't seem to have an end; even if I lose, the game continues (the only problem being of not seeing that much any more), so no real stake.

Siren's Serenade by mmmcgill1232 2015-08-25T08:55:00

Nice game, very fun to crash several ships at one! Level 3 is difficult though.

Note: got a bug, when failing level 3, it sent me to another level, survival mode I think.

I'm a Monster Rawr! by bakakyo 2015-08-28T15:13:00

Nice but I don't get it, sometimes the citizens don't want to go in the ambulance, sometimes you can take only one citizen at a time, sometimes several...

Jamie Oliver: What's Cooking? by BOBANY 2015-08-25T09:18:00

Oh my god, this is so stupid, I love it.

Didn't find the pepe though :(

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Sort the Court! by graebor 2015-12-18T22:06:00

Enjoyed a lot! Very nice graphics and interesting game with funny characters.

GunGun Koi by CheesyRamen 2016-01-01T15:43:00

Gameplay and tune a bit repetitive... but nice retro feel!

The Mad Circle For The Glorious Dice Tower by Volatile Dove 2015-12-14T19:39:00

@Jupiter_Hadley I saw your video, nice; it's quite simple actually, at the bottom-right of the screen there are two dice which are "permuted". If there is a 4 red and a 3 blue, for example, you have to select the 4 red when the 3 blue is asked, and vice versa.

Tree Monster Simulator by TheColorMan 2015-12-16T20:54:00

Nice game; I like the changing rules during the game. Not sure it's intentional but the strange bunnies physics are funny too! Needs some polishing though, and better textures.
Also, I got stuck once in the "killing bunnies" phase in the bottom of the screen.

Subject Is Compliant, Subject Is Defiant by Christina Nordlander 2015-12-18T10:17:00

Nice! Found two different endings. Liked it even if I'm not used to this kind of game.

EarthWard by luke 2015-12-16T21:34:00

I really like the graphics! Also it's responsive and fun. One of my preffered games so far.

Minor flaws: the earth in not very distinguishable from the other planets. Also when no more fuel, the player is doomed.
And it could be better if the game was accelerating, faster and faster, would be even more entertaining.

Cave Adventure by Yvanor 2015-12-16T20:29:00

Nice! I like the low res graphics. Don't see that much the link with the theme though.

Walden: Thoreau It All Away by bearcabin 2015-12-16T20:44:00

Visuals and sound effects are nice!

*spoilers*
I feel like working has no effect, I could arrive at any time at work or stay at home, coworkers were not even caring. Also not sleeping for days is apparently ok. Not sure if intentional.
But the conclusion is nice, creating is good :)

Kitty Glacier Surfing by HUMANICS 2015-12-16T21:06:00

It did not work for me, I had a kind of bugged sphere in the middle of nowhere, not really anything looking like a cat.

Sushi Roll by adsilcott 2015-12-16T20:24:00

Beautiful visuals, very impressive, and quite fun too!

La forĂȘt by Supr 2015-12-18T21:27:00

Wow weird and cool! I don't know if I reached the end of the game, just a black screen. I love the gradation in the landscape and in the sounds! You grow a forest and then the forest gets you. 5/5 for the theme and graphics.

Hello Darkness by jcmonkey 2015-12-16T21:07:00

Nice, I must admit a bit boring after a while though. Maybe would be better with faster movement and a timer, or smaller areas.

Speed Sid by tribrain 2015-12-18T21:42:00

Pros: Very impressive for a Ludum Dare! Nice introduction, also.
Cons: a bit frustrating.

Abyssal Zone by Leddev 2015-12-17T18:59:00

One the best entry I played so far!
Very good ambiance, minimalist pixelated graphics, sounds, and a nice challenge until the end!
(tested under Windows 8, works great)

Abyssal Zone by Leddev 2015-12-17T19:00:00

One the best entry I played so far!
Very good ambiance, minimalist pixelated graphics, sounds, and a nice challenge until the end!
Tested under Windows 8, works great! A fullscreen option would be a plus, though, for better immersion.

Hydra Height by EightPercentStudios 2015-12-16T21:19:00

Nice! I like the ugly dripping hydra.
I reached the grey slime (the second picture in the screenshots above), and the game starts again from the beginning. Not sure if I failed (then I don't get it what I should do) or won (then it's too easy IMHO).

LD44 — Your life is currency

Dovregubben by Ava Skoog 2019-04-30T10:51:42Z

Fun, and the music fits really good :)

STR!PES by Geckoo1337 2019-04-30T16:39:19Z

Nice graphics and sounds, impressive for a jam game, particularly the way it has been coded! Could have been more in the theme though.

Satan's Cellar by dkdwrek 2019-04-29T10:27:27Z

Good music, concept, and ambiance! I couldn't beat it though, not easy!

Shinigami's new assignment by Sun-Wukong 2019-04-30T10:47:51Z

Good graphics ! The introduction particularly is super cool. And the shadowy people in the street.

Lunatic Luke by fidrik 2019-04-30T17:47:54Z

Haha fun :) Nice Mad-Max vibe, also nice to see cars floating above me when exploding them! More sounds would be welcome though (e.g. for exploding cars).

The Garden of Life by Sarah 2019-04-30T10:28:18Z

Nice and quite fun ! I like the sounds and music :)

Calienows by fatPenguin 2019-05-02T19:11:26Z

Nice graphics/art!

Enemy Of The State by Darylsteak 2019-04-30T10:39:09Z

Fun to play ! Impressive details in the action, like blood, sounds, or moving flower pots.

BATCLASH by ecmjohnson 2019-04-30T17:03:31Z

Impressive work! I only played solo must be fun on multiplayer. (note: I got a bug with a guy floating above me and my speed was reduced, a collision issue I think)

ALIEN, e x p a n s i o n . by Jaxson Van Doorn 2019-04-29T10:03:19Z

Very nice the graphics and sound! Shooting and moving was a bit confusing though.

Wanted by Stefan Jovanovic 2019-04-30T17:59:21Z

Really cool graphics and polished game!

Paylife by deformhead 2019-04-29T08:47:01Z

Simple but fun, well done!

Sheep It by anstabo 2019-04-30T16:51:37Z

Best game seen so far! Graphics, details and audio are wonderful. This makes me think about the art of the video game Pan-Pan.

Coin Platformer by sillyman987 2019-04-30T10:18:35Z

It's rudimentary and I didn't die when touching the lava in level 2. Still fun to play though! Ludum Dare can be hard, keep on improving :)

Lemuria by noahw 2019-05-02T19:03:29Z

Interesting game, quite beautiful. Not sure about the connection with the theme though.

Life Cycle by zubspace 2019-04-29T10:14:22Z

The controls are fast and satisfying, which makes it quite fun. The theme is well used. Good job!

Mid-Space Crisis by martforg 2019-04-29T09:58:22Z

Interesting concept (I'm not sure it has a huge connection with the theme though). I could jump from systems to systems but I didn't explore the whole galaxy :)

Bloodcoin by Persegan 2019-04-30T10:10:17Z

Interesting work, but I think it would be better without needing to press right click to aim. This is quite difficult!

Spring Piggy Break by Yuri Langowski 2019-04-29T09:44:19Z

Nice work! Could have a bit more polish like death animation and collision, but it's funny to play and impressive for 10 hours.

I was guilty by volatile-dove 2019-04-30T10:55:22Z

@sillyman987 You can click on the "Web version" link, if it works. Or alternatively, download the "Windows" version, unzip, and click on the exe file. In game, use the direction keys, and Space to lookup on some places.

I was guilty by volatile-dove 2019-05-06T13:09:21Z

Thanks for your reviews! Indeed the collision and rotation are a problem, but it's because it's 2d pre-rendered images, and I manually put quick-and-dirty collision zones for the character (which is also a 2d pre-rendered image). This has of course limitations. But I'm thinking about rendering it in full 3d :)

Bounty Hunted by DrRozza 2019-04-30T18:03:05Z

Good game, good western ambiance :)

LD 44 Currency is life for Ricardo by Week of the agents 2019-04-29T09:07:25Z

Nice! A bit confusing at first to know how to sell bought stuff, and I didn't succeeded to access the dental office, but well made!
