Can You Count by chriscodes 2013-08-24T18:12:00

Wow, got 0 on second try -_-

LD26 — Minimalism (32)

The Cave by euwaku 2013-05-14T13:54:00

Hmm, for some reason does not start for me ;(

Right Side of the Road by ethankennerly 2013-05-14T13:53:00

Lol, funny idea :D :D :D

Life of Colonies by Overv 2013-05-02T09:00:00

Haha, man we both used Conway's Game of Life as basis for your games. Though your is more of a game then mine.

Its fun, but something is lacking...
Firstly beauty of Convay's Game of Life is not seen.
Secondly game lacks depth somehow... Some score and ending resources should be added I guess.

Anyways, fun to see someone trying in same direction as I did! Good work!

Hexzilla by Bernhard 2013-05-02T08:48:00

Seems fun and challenging, hard to put a finger quickly on what's best strategy :)

Budget Squad by deepnight 2013-05-01T14:19:00

o_o Incredible work for 48 hours

Farmer Joe Animal Farm by Raimonds 2013-05-01T13:40:00

Hmm, well I don't know :D
Yeah painted graphics is a nice touch but game itself...
Well, okey it has its own mood... Kind of like mood of sitting at the summer being bored and waiting for flies to come over to squash them...

It just that in this game flies manage to eat your food -_-

In other words, not a good mood this game has :D

Mix by Leebo86 2013-05-01T10:18:00

Interesting concept, lacks something to be fun for me, hmm.
It kind of reminds all those "guitar hero" games, just no music dimension.
Hmm, my be its because I can't relate this to real world activities in some way that would made it fun for me :) Mashing buttons in music rhythm games feels more fun probably cuz it relates to music instruments and rythm part of them is better visible then here...

Mind the Gap by shiprib 2013-05-01T09:17:00

Wah man, what a nice game.
You need to add highscores with screenshots of how it looked when it collapsed.

I got 730. I bet its pretty fun with those versed in transportation and graphs theories :)

Please make highscores/screenshots for it. If you need help I am willing to help :)

Multiplied Screens by glbs 2013-05-01T08:51:00

Lol, can it be finished? I am too lazy at the moment to try that much, only got to read circle flying out...

And probably best representation of theme Minimalistic. Its just one button, circles and squares :D
Yet it is fun! Could be cool mini game in some larger game. Aka hacking a computer or something.

dotLife by ddionisio 2013-04-30T21:45:00

Really like the graphics man.
Curious game.

Battle Pixels by Atridas 2013-04-30T21:34:00

16:20 46K score... Damn you eat 16 minutes of my life!
And yea MiniDota :D

The Last Soul by Gaeel 2013-04-30T20:08:00

Really nice sounds, and style. Somehow reminded me of old Another World game.

AlienHunt by huelsmanj 2013-04-30T18:32:00

Hmm, after 1,2,3 it does nothing...

Towers of Rage by robotality 2013-04-30T16:14:00

Well, its sure minimalistic :)
Love graphics but got repetitive too fast.

A Game of Boxes by DarkX2 2013-04-30T15:53:00

Nah, not hard.
I think potentially it could be fun, its like minimalistic portal game :)

Lightrail by Geoege 2013-04-30T15:45:00

Nice graphics and sounds.
It sure is challanging :)

Swimming Fool by blackmagic 2013-04-30T15:03:00

GRrr, not the dialogues... Too much retries too... No time to play it grr :D

Very nice graphics but damn, the waiting and retries kill the fun for me ;(

Seed by whitetigle 2013-04-30T14:20:00

Pretty unusual, took me some time to figure out what to do, yet it was actually fun.
But still confusing. But initially fun somewhat when you figure stuff out by trial and error :) I would say a neat trick for LD games, no need for tutorial if games allows easy trial and error learning :)

Anyways, cool game :)

Critical Failure by Ranmara 2013-04-30T12:36:00

Very well done game.
I like it, polish it and put out to Kongregate with ads or something!

And make dozen of endings depending on what sacrifices you make at which time :)

C [DOT][DOT][DOT] by GamingYourWay 2013-04-30T11:39:00

Awesome graphics idea, check! Though -- for not smooth movement, just bothers eyes too much ;(
Fun, check!
Theme check!
Audio, minimalistic check! :)
No humor, check :D
Mood, I like how other balls gang on you, as if they are trolls, check! :D

Nice simple game ;)

Potato Dungeon by _Rilem 2013-04-30T09:25:00

Wow, man it plays as good as it looks! Awesome job man!

Telekinetic Minimalist Cult 5: Packrat Nightmare by RobotLovesKitty 2013-04-30T08:59:00

Very nice game, funny, impressive for 48 hours and best/funny audio from all I tried so far.
Though little bit lacking on "gameplay" side.

Noise by Diventurer 2013-04-29T19:41:00

Ah, I lack some kind of dll.
MSVCR110.dll
What it comes with?

Back to basics TD by techmonkey 2013-04-29T19:28:00

Simple TD huh, not very innovating but minimalistic :)

Where therefore we go by pjchardt 2013-04-29T17:56:00

PRetty nice game, some curious artistic moves there, but by the end felt too long for its own content.

NinjaFlare by 8BitPimp 2013-04-29T14:27:00

Wah, nice!

TunnelVision by wzl 2013-04-29T14:23:00

Same here, and I have NVIDIA, look fun, will be waiting for never versions.

Arena by rogueNoodle 2013-04-29T14:13:00

Controls are confusing me too but otherwise great game, fun, sounds, minimalistic, graphics. All great! :)

(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-04-29T14:10:00

Sadly lacks sounds for mood. But yeah its LD so all is fine :D

Still great, great use of simplicity.

I Dream of a Beam by ocmu 2013-04-29T14:06:00

Nice, I like what you did with music.
Shooting somehow feels off... I guess something there is just not what I am used to in similar games so expectations of shooting and result feel off but not sure...

Micro Battles by Voodooist 2013-04-29T11:27:00

Wow man, nice game, nice and simple and has some new to me ideas in it. Great!

P.S Am from Latvia too, can you contact me somehow.
You can google me wonderwhy-er
Find me on some social network in case you want to know other LudumDarers from Latvia!

Angry Ball by veskimo 2013-04-29T11:01:00

Checked, there seems to be a bug, when you die words rest to wrong ones, so sometimes you end up with big word where it was a small gap...
Or was it on purpose?

LD21 — Escape (17)

EscapeOut by David S. Gallant 2011-09-04T16:31:00

Haha, funny idea, initially it is "huh, escape?" thoughts :D

Beam Runner by Geti 2011-08-30T13:47:00

Stylish graphics, kind of fun, and yeah, so short that leaves you wanting more :) A good sign :)

EscApe by marudziik 2011-08-29T10:35:00

Can't say that it is very fun or innovative but pretty good game for 48 hours, both graphics, levels, sounds, all feels finished :) Good job :)

Esc by tequibo 2011-08-29T09:34:00

Haha, nicely done :) Not very innovative but fun and stylish presentation :)

Hotel Escape by pgil 2011-08-27T07:27:00

Hehe, funny idea indeed :)
Hated controls a little... Hate when I do press a button but it does not react ;(

.: The Escapist :. by Jorjon 2011-08-25T20:29:00

Hehe, entertaining one :D Good job :)

Escape Velocity by Murphy 2011-08-25T20:27:00

Concepty is interesting, sadly does not feel to play so good. Allowing to making many of black holes probably not a good idea. May be one with variable size/charge would work better.

Anyways good idea but somehow does not feel that good play.

Escape from Planet 21 by whiletruefork 2011-08-25T20:22:00

Very good presentation, both audio and graphics and old cartoons imitation or something.
Hmm sadly its kind of too slow for my taste... Makes it little bit less fun for me.

Trenches by MaskedPixel 2011-08-25T20:09:00

Controls do feel pretty good :) Did not manage to pass first level so far, will return to it later I guess.
Hmm start BTW is too rough, I guess you should have left little bit more time at the start.

Heartbreaker! by triplefox 2011-08-24T09:23:00

Woah, multiplayer :) Sadly impossible to play alone no?

Elastic Prison by bitbof 2011-08-23T16:20:00

Very nice concept, control feel weird though. As if the longer you hold them the weaker they get.
Failed to finish it on first run, tried now the second time and was screaming in frustration... I seriously don't get the controls. What is mechanic of "weakening" of controls?

Anyways got till lot of small dots continued by few moving dots and was thrown back to the start.

Anyways, I really like the concept, with some more work it can make in to a great game. If you re imagine controls for touch you can make it in to a decent Android game!

The Great Volcano Escape by bluescrn 2011-08-23T15:39:00

Wah, nice graphics man, and smooth game play, not very innovative though.

Save the Miner! by AClockWorkLemon 2011-08-23T15:32:00

Nice graphics and use of theme. Good work, sounds lack here very much, at lest "closeness" sounds effect is needed :)

Escape from the Labyrinth by ursagames 2011-08-23T15:30:00

Heh, liked that creeping guy, does have some atmosphere.
Nice work.

Escape Adventure by makc 2011-08-23T15:22:00

Here you are Makc :)
As mentioned before simple but funny :)

Escaparazzi by Felipe Budinich 2011-08-23T15:20:00

HHaha, nice use of theme, liked music :D Good work :)

AWOL by quickfingers 2011-08-22T14:36:00

Wah, nice graphics man, and sounds. And game is somewhat fun. Great work.

LD16 — Exploration (13)

Climbrunner by agj

Hmm I wonder if anyone have actually passed it. Interesting mechanic. Can be both frustrating and rewarding :) You need to find some kind of symbol here?

Fuck Oregon let's go find El Dorado by crackerblocks

Well kind of funny game and sounds are good :) It is little bit frustrating tough and there were some cases when it was impossible to pass but I think for 48h with random maps it is normal :)

Forest by increpare

Second sound based game I try. Well I like mechanics of this one better tough I am not shore there is really anything to do here. May be some text comments would have been good. In the end got as close as I could to some sound source and left...

Deep Field by Gilvado

Got some 39k did not grasp what or how should realy be done. Pretty fun and kind of Orion like :)

The Europa Arcology Incident by Notch

Liked this entry very much. Interesting graphics and pretty much of content. Only bad thing is controls probably... Too many buttons to do not so many thing...

Ruins by angrywaffle

Nice platform. Few things like this restart/leader-board/hidden mouse make it little bit annoying but still good.

Chameleon by Undead3

Heh pretty close to what I did. Hmm I think it little bit lacks some fog of war thing. Found only 9 planets even tough I was exploring map in rectangles so probably some liiitle place I missed contained the last one, and there is just no way to to find it now without doing it all over again hoping not not miss anything this time. There is clearly something wrong with that. Other then that good use of theme.

Ezo by C418

Concept is shore interesting.
Not shore game play is tough. Passed it in two ways. Not shore there are others and not shore sounds are that expressive on where you should go. May be it would have been better if there were 3 buttons. 2 for turning right or left and two for going in current direction + going somewhere and turning changing direction from which sounds go.
Or my be I do not get it...

Hole Jump by Alex

Hmm here were few game like that recently one of which looked exactly the same and had multiplayer with pushing each other :) Can't remember how it was called :( Soo does not seem that innovative. Also I don't think it fits theme well. Not really an exploration. Music is good and mechanics is fun tough :)

Soulspark by SonnyBone

Engine is little bit buggy and makes expiration not so "flow"ish. Use of theme is fine. Not innovative tough. Lack of sounds make it little bit dead... May be it amplifies feel of empty city but but at least robot itself should have been making some sounds.
Pretty good for 48h tough.

EchoExplorer by refrag

Hmm haven't passed 4 level. Sound killed it :) Too annoying after some time.
Game itself is not bad tough. May be mechanic is not very well polished. Probably in larger labyrinths it would be very easy to get lost. Needs some way to mark places for point of reference.

Duct by bentosmile

Good graphics but it makes luck of sound almost physical :) Which is interesting. Some calm may be little bit sad tunes would have fit I think.
As for game itself. Liked those triangular tiles, not shore it was fun but it was not boring for shore.

Robot Wants Kitty by Hamumu

Checkpoints would be cool as after some time it gets repetitive getting from level start to the end.
Not innovative but I like graphics and overall content.

LD12 — The Tower (28)

Tower of Doom is Complete! :D by Yezu

Well i don't know... Doesn't seem as fun :) Played trough few levels and all...

Dark Tower by X-0ut

Well feels good. Kind of atmospheric :) Little bit hard but makes interesting to play it :)

Tower of Doom by Sulix

Hmm. Not very lasting game :) Played may be 3 times and not because of fun but to understand what happens and why I suddenly get out of game. Tough it was a bug but it asks to click to exist after i click a lot to destroy towers. And well i can't say i like such humor...

Cannon Hates Tower by Sivart13

Well worked for me. And i don't know. No it is not boring but mm unchallenging...

Commander Blunt by robut

Eh.. Not polished enough... Seems like may be an interesting concept. Something that has perks of tower defense and tetris :) So that you bould your tower in manner of tetris while it is assaulted by enemies. Could be an interesting game play to dig on. Other then that well too buggy :)

Junktowers by Papper

Well that was pretty fun :) I suppose that considering level graphics was simple you should have left player something like a vector smile or something :) Anyways i had fun with this game and it is most important :) And golden owl as goal of levels is made of win :)

And funny ludum pictures :)

The Siege of von Danken Tower by pansapiens

Haha :D Read the story :D Made me smile :D
Well game is simple yet fun to play :) I think it is retro nostalgia may be :)
Well for portability=Technical=5 :D

Breaking the Tower by Notch

Wah... Great game for 48 hours :D Reminds me of many god sims :D
Tough not without a flaws... I think it would be nice to have something like priorities. Aether made by count of buildings or as tools on top so that we could control statistically what people prefer to do...

Another thing that is needed is save games. This thing takes time and sometimes i really want to interrupt from it for some 10 minutes but can't...

Anyways very good result for 48. Seems complex and i couldn't find any bugs :)

Escape From The Tower of DOOM by nilsf

Funny game. I think only one with easter eggs :D "Cake is unreal" :D Didn't got trough it all but got to middle of second building.

Towerball by Morre

Very well made game :) Well polished and fun to play. Has sounds too. Only it was not very friendly for my notebook :( Run at it with 1Fps :( But on PC it was 60FPS... Does it run without OpenGL? If so then it explains the problems but I suppose that my ATI Readon on notebook is not friendly with OpenGL...

Final for “Choke Point” by mikejedw

Hmm. Original use of of theme but not very addictive.

Tau by matrin

I suppose my record is two jumps :D Nut shore that it is possible to do 5 :D

Well graphics is nice but where are towers theme? Ouh those things you should jump over are towers? Heh that's minimalistic :)

Mr Blocker v1.0 by mariusz

Hmm. Windows version does not work for me. When I execute exe nothing happens...

Cat Stacker (Final Entry) by lexaloffle

Looks good. Tough takes time to master some features like cat\'s still are under control after touchdown :) Overall 4 ;)

WeatherTower – Binary Build Done + Win32 Build! by kutani

Well I don't know. Those clouds are always not there where you need them :D

The Tower of You by jolle

Very cool game :) Not too simple and not too complex. Plays fast and very addictive :D I just seriously killed hour of my life :D I don't want to stop but need to continue checking other entries.

Rise Of The Owls by Hamumu

Cool and colorful graphics. Also seems as well polished game. Speed control, sounds, cool graphics. Tough difficulty is kind of unpredictable. One moment waves can't even make few steps and then suddently few ways come and charge pretty far and then again can't do nothing...

Cutting it Fine by Frimkron

Cool art and effects. Tough some save points would make it more lasting. Didn't got too far but was interesting to look on all that :)

Purple Reign – A love letter to awesome games by Fiona

Well made game. Reminded me of GTA1 :) Also first entry where I like sounds :) Very well done :)

TowerAssault0 by edwardoka

Well pretty simple and not that catchy... Shoot few times and all :)

Control Tower by Edge

Nice pixel graphics. Game idea is original too :) Tough there is still some room fro polishing. Like adding some pointers to from where new airplanes are awaited. My final score is 1250...

Falling Towers by devguy

Hmm so how to make it work?

Demonic Tower by dstrysnd

Hmm. There is some kind of card that makes game fall. Tried to run game trough cmd to see what lead to crash but was not able to catch it for 3 time. Save games would be nice :)

And card combos with kings and queens makes character very powerful some times :) Had 20 movement points each turn once :D

Well may be not super polished game and graphics is not good but fun to play while it lasted :D Would be nice to see a sequel :) Ouh and one more thing it didin't represent theme well actually...

Balkor FINAL [Platform independant] by Daz

Well... There is such thing as feedback from player input. This game has horrific feedback :D I don't feel that i really control the bird...

And going and forcing Java garbaged collector to stop music from playing is not very nice feature :D

My by Codexus

Well i stuck at level 3 or 4. There where after 4 lines of speed umps you need to jump over 4 empty tiles... Or I missed something.

Anyways fun game with good graphics. May be best in LD12 graphics :) Game play feels as if needs little bit more polish but it i fun and also i seriously want to hear some "Blup" when he jumps :D

AkinTower Ready by Ariel Yust

Nice graphics. Game play is fun but i think it could have been little bit better :) Got repetitive after some 10 waves and well i exited... Music if fine. Not annoying but may little bit off considering the theme.

And gosh how did you feel after so much energy drinks and cola. Must have felt as if you drunk much yesterday :D

Super Tower Ascent 2 by adamzap

Well this game was kind of frustrating because of heat seeking owls :D After few tries I was able too see them in this flock of owls but was unable to hit them because net was hitting other owls making it hard to play even on normal.

Tough sounds were pretty good :)

Your pancakes looked testy :D

Towlr – 2 Hour Game by PoV

Got it in 6 tries. Was not seeing it for some reasons at the beginning :)
