Go Get Em by CrazyGage 2013-05-01T04:25:00

Someone come online! lol

The Only String by Tuba 2013-04-29T03:54:00

Funny way to incorporate the theme haha and pretty nice animations when clicking to hold down the finger! Fun game.

Nothing Left by Gremlin 2013-04-29T03:18:00

Awesome game, really like the different shooting patterns of enemies (which lead to some really cool intersecting lines of fire to dodge). Great animations too, like the flash red when taking damage.

Ninja Instinct by Taldius 2013-05-01T15:59:00

Fun game, cool little ninja, i wish his shurikens would've came in handy at more places though!

Abide by xel 2013-04-29T05:10:00

Great visual effect, made for a mysterious mood... Pretty impressive for only a couple hours of work. I liked the abstract thinking that came with the minimal instructions. Nice job!

Fallen Outside by DDDBOMBER 2013-04-29T06:12:00

Web Version: Controls are very unresponsive(?)/confusing... Could not get past level 2 because I could not control the character with left/right/space.

JOHN by LPGhatguy 2013-05-01T04:13:00

I jumped at one part haha if this was the prequel to some larger epic game, I'd buy the game hands down! Great start!

MiniCave by aare 2013-04-30T02:54:00

Actually pretty decent considering your first platformer! Cool ideas and not that buggy from my play experience... Pretty fun! Would've liked to have more structure though like levels of increasing difficulty, but then again, it is Ludum Dare.

All Fall Down by lambomang 2013-05-01T05:31:00

Kind of frustrating finding which key worked on which door, but all in all a good play through. Nice ending :)

Mass Splitter by scriptorum 2013-04-29T04:14:00

Actually kind of addicting once you get the hang of it.

The Rules Are Simple... by saampahlavan 2013-04-29T04:32:00

Awesome game! Great use of the theme! Make sure you play it to the end so you can draw your own art haha. I found myself using spacebar to jump so my move hand was independent from my jump hand. Bookmarked ;)

dodecaphony by heuermh 2013-04-30T03:28:00

For OS/X I got "dodecaphony is damaged and must be moved to trash" :/

Minimalistic Home Trashing Services by Exergy 2013-05-01T04:34:00

I think Jonapulse summed it up pretty well... But yeah, fun game! Kinda frustrating at points haha

MIN(Ball) by cahman 2013-05-01T05:07:00

Awesome game! Really cool idea, would love to see a MINBall 2 or extended level pack or something! Also, nice potato haha similar incorporation to mine.

Asteroid Blaster by h2n0 2013-05-01T04:38:00

Defense of the 8-Bits by NiftyLlama 2013-04-29T04:43:00

8-bit graphics for the win! haha surprisingly fun for such a simple game.

Self by sittaman 2013-05-05T07:18:00

Hey sittaman you commented on my game! :D

Yours is awesome! My best distance was 7961px!! lol really good idea on how to incorporate a story into a gameplay concept like this, made it more motivating I think... I really like the changing of your characters color every time you bump into a red guy too, really well done! Add in some power-ups here and there and you have yourself something legit!

Was this done in flash?

RED by Tiago 2013-04-30T03:26:00

Great game with an eery feeling. I had trouble and couldn't get by the first level with 5 "reds".

Ghost Garden by ceMelusine 2013-04-29T05:56:00

Couldn't tell what the objective was. :/

Solace by kazukishida 2013-05-01T04:20:00

I felt like a ghost wandering around a city of living people that I couldn't see, only hear distantly. Strange game but I really really liked it. Nice job!

Color Blind by Alec Von Arx 2013-04-29T05:43:00

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@DaveDobson: I made it so once you unlock bonus mode it will automatically select it for you (I think this is what you were confused about).

@daniel: I was thinking about putting a screamer after you get 16 haha be glad i didn't have enough time!

Color Blind by Alec Von Arx 2013-05-05T07:01:00

@Spiridios The smallest size that the colored square gets is actually 0.1 pixels (you can check the source, line 38ish in "mainGame.js"), and it is not a dom element, so yeah the pixel value should be close to all white. It's pretty tough to tell once it gets down there, but it is definitely possible! haha

Color Blind by Alec Von Arx 2013-05-05T07:06:00

@sittaman thanks so much dude! You are awesome!
@visibleatom Not too sure... I feel like it would depend on the type of colorblind-ness... One of my friends who play tested the game had real troubles with the red/yellow level but had a much easier time with purple/blue level while another friend had the opposite experience.
@tsb all fair in my book haha although you can get the information much easier from the console/debugger

DudeJump by agnulf 2013-04-29T06:03:00

This game is in need of a checkpoint system, rather difficult. Also, it might be helpful to say that "once a door is unlocked, it is unlocked for good"... It seems like it might be implying that all the switches have to be green and stay green for you to be able to make it through the door.

MSG - Match Set Game by bastiandantilus 2013-04-29T04:06:00

A cool variation to a very common game. Not sure what the C,R, and S stand for. Pretty fun game but these types of games are extremely overdone imo.

A Game of Numbers by JoeDev_net 2013-04-29T05:13:00

Man, this *looks* really cool... MacBook :(

A Game of Numbers by JoeDev_net 2013-05-03T07:39:00

Hey Joe, you played my game and liked it (and I commented on here earlier saying I wish it was on mac)... I played the web version, awesome game! Great idea, I wish there were so many more levels haha really fun, makes you think. Please make a bigger version of this game?

Minima by CagedRat 2013-04-29T05:17:00

Web page: Unity won't load :(

Minima by CagedRat 2013-04-29T05:33:00

Downloaded OSX version, got it to work... Pretty mysterious, I wish I could "finish" the game to find out the ending. Maybe make it a little more clear once you get to the 'final chase'
