LD26 — Minimalism

TrackSurfer by fysx 2013-05-05T01:13:00

Perfectly elegant! Great job!

Minimal Conquest by manax 2013-05-08T02:44:00

Easy is still pretty haaaaard :P

Mini Pirates! by josefnpat 2013-05-03T18:29:00

YESSS! The perfect marriage of pirates and ADD!!

_M_ by GranaDa 2013-05-08T06:09:00

Strangely spooky...

Conversion by Spiridios 2013-05-03T05:03:00

Echoloco! :D

Murder on the Tuberosum by thenmal 2013-05-11T04:00:00

has a few physics freak-outs :\

DeaN by Sakuyan 2013-05-08T06:06:00

Such cute exploding people!

Fractured by dalbinblue 2013-05-03T05:08:00

Outstanding. I love the little caterwaul <3

JOHN by LPGhatguy 2013-05-07T06:02:00

Spooky!

Prisma by plash 2013-05-11T03:56:00

There goes my whole evening <3

Spike Line by Yorwba 2013-05-05T00:56:00

Just tranced-out and almost got 1,000 points... nice.

for science! by xandy 2013-05-05T00:58:00

There was some serious jitter on the mac build... was that part of the game?

Sociales Santillana by Ithildin 2013-05-08T22:31:00

Integrated instructions would help more than the "manual image" -- really fun once I grokked it.

Mini Epic Adventure by frogmaster 2013-05-03T17:31:00

Are the green strips with a blue pixel that come up sometime an uncrossable river? Love it :)

BE A CUBE by AnnynN 2013-05-05T01:00:00

There was some jitter on the mac build; weird framerate/wallclock interactions?

BE A CUBE by AnnynN 2013-05-05T01:12:00

Love the "wheel-of-fortune"esque intro :D

Tale of MiniMale by finefin 2013-05-07T05:05:00

Aww, this game makes me... have... feeeeeelings.

Poke by Crowbeak 2013-05-08T02:39:00

All the flash-fades from white kinda hurt *my* eyes.

LD 26-B0xPaiNt by ecool377 2013-05-08T02:36:00

How do you lose? Even jumping into oblivion just kept going.

Minimalism for Dummies by Kikkers 2013-05-08T02:48:00

Controls are a kinda finger-twister...

Minimalist's journey towards overlord minimalism by LionelJitro 2013-05-07T05:00:00

Having to walk across the first screen over and over and over again on every life kills the momentum of the game :\

Dark Wayne by lasergans 2013-05-03T17:35:00

Elegant :)

qob by alts 2013-05-08T06:03:00

Sometime the rotations were counter-intuitive; maybe some pop-up arrows before the rotation to give you a sense of the result?

Frame Aim by Symmeteer 2013-05-07T05:57:00

unclear what the tension is... is there a lose condition?

Echidna by Aerlynn 2013-05-07T06:10:00

Not a lot of queues or landmarks for speed - maybes some particles that can streak by? Felt like I was standing still.

Squared by Shorefire 2013-05-05T01:03:00

I like the swimmy controls :)

Rectlove by 02fc.exe 2013-05-03T17:47:00

Oh, well, that was surprisingly unsurprising :)

Brutaliz'Art LD26 by lotusgame 2013-05-05T01:08:00

smasheriffic!

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-04-30T00:27:00

@noa the sound is OGG, which some browsers don't support. The W3C standard on this actually comically vague: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/av_met_canplaytype.asp

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-04-30T00:35:00

@foxytacy @nangie @recursor @iamorim thanks!

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-04-30T00:35:00

@wallmasterr checking our yours now :)

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-04-30T20:53:00

@outerheaven182 @galvesmash @kidevil @1WeekEndStudio thanks!!

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-04-30T20:54:00

@jerombd yeah, we have 5 more scenes half-baked that have some fun new metamechanics (e.g. erasing parts of math equations), but we wanted the actual LD submission to be solid.

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-04-30T20:54:00

@TravisChen that was the reason for doing it in javascript instead of flash - stay tuned!

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-05-03T17:19:00

@sylvain.p @kevinzuhn @shawn42 thanks!

ERASERLAND by little_polygon 2013-05-09T18:39:00

@Cheesetale - that link's not for playing; it's a repository of our project files, for anyone who wants to see how the game works or mod it.

Complete Revenge: A Hero s Journey by Nuclear_Hammer 2013-05-03T04:46:00

Can't get past the first jump after several tries :\

I'm Not a Paper Person! by Linus Lindberg 2013-05-05T03:50:00

Heh, this is in the same spirit as our game eraserland but backwards! awesome!

Castle Defense by cwook 2013-05-03T18:21:00

Solid; like the quick menu interactions.

Nanomaly by schizoko 2013-05-05T01:09:00

yellow on white is challenging - I had to zoom in to play it better.

BatWorld by Farjuan 2013-05-08T02:29:00

I understood the echo shapes, but I didn't understand how I was moving, relative to the red spooky one.

Avoid by jm77345 2013-05-03T05:16:00

Argh, my eyes, my beautiful eyes T__T Awesome!

Minima by Andy West 2013-05-07T05:09:00

Like the loose controls. The background and foreground kinda competed for my eyeballs :\

the sunset by nhmllr 2013-05-03T05:27:00

beau-ti-ful!

Bong Out Wars by Eternal_Rest 2013-05-03T04:59:00

Like the balls-bouncing-off-other-balls element. Controls felt a little stiff, though - consider applying the input as a second-order signal to get a smoother effect?

RGBCMY by ericlass 2013-05-05T01:16:00

Some of the color/combination interactions were unclear at first - some kind of alternate-combination feedback could clarify?

Filler by TP2k 2013-05-03T17:33:00

Mathy joy!

Mondrian by Kyle Bolton 2013-05-07T05:02:00

Great mechanic. The relationship between the mouse-drag and the screen rotation was sometimes counterintuitive, though.

ppet -- a random tamagotchi permadeath sim by ede 2013-05-04T06:11:00

Aww, poop!

end by Aevek 2013-05-05T07:21:00

The core aesthetic almost robbed the surprises a little, but overall great job.

P by B 2013-05-03T17:37:00

Awesome. The subtle gravity and loose controls create just the right amount of tension! Love it!!

P by B 2013-05-05T01:12:00

One of my favorites, so far :D

Pato Loco by fermcg 2013-05-07T04:54:00

Collisions were wonky - keypt hitting "invisible walls" above some tiles.

Up To You by PapaGrimbles 2013-05-07T05:08:00

Using screen-scroll as a formal element! Awesome!

dotmove by garlicbread 2013-05-03T17:51:00

Beautiful and elegant.

dotmove by garlicbread 2013-05-05T01:12:00

One of my favorites so far. Recommended for rubic's cube fans!

Dye by ChuiGum 2013-05-03T20:57:00

Lovely game; process-quit on game-over is kinda annoying.

Solace by kazukishida 2013-05-03T20:59:00

Less intimidating than Antichamber ;)

PRISMA by Dark Acre Jack 2013-05-08T06:16:00

Fun once you get used to it; timing / cutoffs were a bit unclear at first.

Min by peaveyj 2013-05-07T06:04:00

want... seeeeecret ending!

Balls Balls Balls by matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-08T06:20:00

soooo manyyyy balllsss

Lone Blade by Floko 2013-05-15T05:45:00

Awesome!! The Sliced bamboo was a nice touch.

Cage's Ghost by headchant 2013-05-03T17:29:00

cute ghost!

Cage's Ghost by headchant 2013-05-05T01:13:00

Cute ghosts!

The Minimal Machine by Andromatta 2013-05-05T01:14:00

Great use of Unity's tools :)

Grasshopper by Puffi 2013-05-05T01:11:00

scrolling was a bit jerky - wallclock vs. framerate interactions?

Lazy Afternoon Adventures by Languard 2013-05-07T05:24:00

Innovative idea, but the split-attention aspect was kinda frustrating.

SeedLife by shawn42 2013-05-03T17:23:00

I was really hoping for a trance game on this theme - and you delivered! :D

Get Gold by Jonatron 2013-05-07T05:18:00

No very meaningful because you don't really make any tradeoffs...

Hyperborea: The Secret of the North by Cake_Catastrophe 2013-05-04T10:11:00

Controls were wonky - if you hold down one direction, and then a second (e.g. up+left) and then release the second, the first isn't resumed, the player simply stops.

Daft Pong by mikelovesrobots3 2013-05-07T05:11:00

Perfecto! Me and 'BarackObama' rocked it :P

Kill The King by Myyyvothrr 2013-05-07T05:21:00

Simple and well-done :)

PettalBattle by adventureloop 2013-05-05T01:11:00

Collisions seemed a bit wonky

PuzzleBot by minism 2013-05-11T03:53:00

"Love" it! :D

Chroma by gameXcore 2013-05-07T06:06:00

Gah; this is everything I love *and* hate about labrynth ;) good job!

Saishou Sentou by Joshua Douglass-Molloy 2013-05-03T17:25:00

beautiful

Minimalistic Dota Clone (+ Osmos) by Finn Stokes 2013-05-03T04:53:00

Flagged by internet explorer as potentially malicious :\

Moonshot by kurrik 2013-05-07T04:57:00

Awesome! Finally getting the "sin wave" level just right was a real rush!

LD28 — You Only Get One

A Girl & Her Cat by little_polygon 2013-12-16T02:43:00

Thanks Roo - that's the plan!

A Girl & Her Cat by little_polygon 2013-12-16T02:51:00

@Absurditure - thanks!

A Girl & Her Cat by little_polygon 2013-12-16T05:42:00

@mcapraro - the compo is over, but development continues!

@ethankennerly @dalloner thanks!

A Girl & Her Cat by little_polygon 2013-12-16T06:07:00

@laaph the compo's over, but development continues! (putting pixels together for a bomb right now...)

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Dig Hard by petey123567 2014-04-29T03:44:00

@Jared (codev here) absolutely. gamepad beats keyboard in this case, hands down.

Dig Hard by petey123567 2014-04-29T15:34:00

@flatgub (codev here) oh man, stacked ammo is a Certified Great Idea(tm), awesome, thanks!

Dig Hard by petey123567 2014-04-29T21:22:00

@Rose I *just played" Bunker 29 -- so good!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

BED✰HOGG by 01010111 2015-04-21T02:23:00

Wonderful!

Shield Maiden by bitslap 2015-04-23T00:12:00

Radicool!

An Apple A-Day by OmarShehata 2015-04-22T21:43:00

Cute game!

Ice Princess by pinkmonkeyhead 2015-04-22T02:59:00

I can't say I've ever played anything like it.

Pandarmageddon by blob 2015-04-21T06:22:00

Oh, hey stranger ;)

Underload by Taldius 2015-04-21T15:50:00

Kept getting stuck and unable to move -- better to stick with kinematic bodies for character control; dynamic bodies are too futsy/error-prone.

Ice Story ( koori monogatari 氷物語 ) by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2015-04-22T21:59:00

superrad! bubble bobble solidarity!

Animal Jousting by SimianLogic 2015-04-21T21:26:00

Fun! The art is pretty great except the color choices hurt the eyes. Try generally cranking down that saturation, use tone (lights and darks) more so than color to control what draws the eye. Use higher saturation minimally to make stuff pop usually mid saturation is more then enough.

Yum Kaax Relic by VividReality 2015-04-21T05:56:00

I couldn't help but expect the WASD controls to be direction-relative.

Carroty Wars by lurils 2015-04-23T01:57:00

Nice game! Cute design! When you are picking colors make sure you are varying the tone enough. Those snooty dudes and their bullets look like background decorations. A good way to check is to convert a screenshot of your game to grayscale and see if things still read. If it doesn't, make some things lighter or darker until it does.

ICE CREAM by little_polygon 2015-04-21T02:35:00

Thanks for playin'! Yeah, you're spot on. We kind of ran into the time wall so the difficulty ramp is mad untuned.

ICE CREAM by little_polygon 2015-04-21T20:43:00

@CorgiCommander aww, thanks man. I liked Newt Scoot, too ;)

ICE CREAM by little_polygon 2015-04-22T03:05:00

@pinkmonkeyhead Cmd-Q works for me; weird :|

ICE CREAM by little_polygon 2015-04-22T03:20:00

@pinkmonkeyhead aww, shucks. We tried super hard to make it really boipy. I'm glad you enjoyed the look so much.

Animancer by Nick Weihs 2015-04-21T05:52:00

I summoned an eagle! <3

Space Boy by Hyoga-3D 2015-04-21T22:07:00

Sam On Tape by fluidvolt 2015-04-21T06:21:00

Games are on a beat are the best ;)

Fathom by Joe Williamson 2015-04-21T02:26:00

Radical! :)

The Hicet: Iceburglary by TTFTCUTS 2015-04-21T16:44:00

Solid and chill ;)

NOPAEW by Anikki 2015-04-21T16:42:00

More checkpoints, plz. Also, clearing inventory not respawning keys when I died got me stuck behind some un-unlockable doors and I had to restart :|

HotMop by sararyCow 2015-04-21T05:43:00

My heroic janitorial aspirations have finally been realized.

BeatBopper by Sean 2015-04-21T02:12:00

Pretty sexy :)

Megane Fever by Park 2015-04-21T05:47:00

Tranquil, calming violence.

ChromaGun by pixel_maniacs 2015-04-21T02:31:00

Pretty solid. Like the lava effects!
