LD22 — Alone

Excite Marathon by Nora Shishi 2011-12-20T09:25:00

Not a great fan of this game. Just spamming the mouse click gets me scores of below 0.9 seconds. Doesn't fit the theme, nor is particularly fun

Stray Whisker by JigxorAndy 2012-01-04T18:57:00

Quite fun and enjoyable. Makes a quite complete game, although I'd like more challenges

Aloneasaurus Rex by jovoc 2011-12-20T20:52:00

Can you not upload an ipa for jailbroken people? ;) I really wanna try this

Dungeons of Solitude by Knighty 2011-12-20T09:06:00

Not particularly fun I must say. I like the graphics, and it fit the theme well, but the lack of music was a little annoying. Quite hard too, once I got to the 3rd level with the guys that throw stuff I just kept repeatedly dying. Also the pathfinding of the slimes seems like the hug to corners, and it's annoying trying to lure them anywhere

Minicraft by Notch 2011-12-19T10:54:00

Disappointed. I was hoping for something deep and meaningful, not just a silly remake of minecraft. I agree it's quite a nice game, but does it feel lonely? No. Is it particularly fun? Nope. Is it innovative at all? Definitely not. The graphics and audio are pretty nice, but they don't make up for the fact that this is a remake of your previous or that it doesn't seem to fit the theme or have a story at all.

Minicraft by Notch 2011-12-19T15:33:00

Seriously guys? 44 ratings? I don't even have 1. Most people have less than 5. Only a select handful have between 5 and 20. But 44? Geez. This competition seems a little biased.

Leave Me Alone by strega 2011-12-20T16:40:00

Nice game! Quite hard, I got 8 fragments though :D

A form of monotheism by Andrew 2011-12-19T17:33:00

Quite confusing, it made it a little less fun, but once you destroy the barriers and convert everything to hunters the fun starts! :D

None Alone by galman 2011-12-20T16:42:00

Quite fun, not impressed with graphics but it's ok nevertheless

LUDUM DARODIUS by pythong 2011-12-20T09:12:00

It's not loading for me, can you embed it in a website page or upload it to something like mediafire or dropbox instead please? This game looks good

Too late but (almost) finished by LeReveur 2011-12-20T09:31:00

Same as Frankie, I really was looking forward to a nice game here, but then it turned out to be a boring puzzle. :/

Zombie Apocalypse by yokcos700 2011-12-20T09:28:00

Quite boring, no good gameplay, the grenades or whatever were useless unless you built a place where they won't roll like crazy. And worst of all, it's a game maker game D:

Buttercup's Castle by bostelk 2011-12-20T09:01:00

I like the graphics, and it's a good idea. Mood didn't seem that alone, but it's a nice game!

Lonely Space by guru-guru 2011-12-20T09:20:00

Quite innovative, but not particularly fun. There were a few places I got stuck, and the graphics weren't that great either

Jump Ninja by mutle 2011-12-20T16:34:00

What? This is terrible. Bad graphics, no sound, not innovative, not particularly fun, no story, doesn't fit with the theme.

.Journey to Polygonia by sythe 2011-12-19T10:22:00

Quite fun, I kinda like it but the controls feel a little awkward and the sound is annoying. I can't get very far because I keep sliding off the edge of platforms :/

Nightmares of a Wizard by TeamEpsilon 2011-12-20T09:22:00

196mb download? That'll take hours on my 20KB/s max internet! I'm not playing this game until I go to my dad's, where the internet is a little better

Alone In Space by Rayboy 2011-12-20T09:13:00

40mb? Geez. My internet is slow, like 20KB/s, so I'm not gonna be rating this until I go to my dad's where I have good internet

LD23 — Tiny World

Disregard All Humans by Fireblend 2012-04-23T19:43:00

Fun! A bit repetitive and the speed of the monster should also be proportional to the size of the planet instead of just rotation as a degree on a large planet is a heck of a lot larger arc length than on a small one!

Bactarium by csanyk 2012-05-13T09:04:00

Pretty fun, quite an original game idea you have. Would have been nice for more depth though, and a more obvious indication of what is food and what is enemy

Pow! Pow! Pow! by Cake&Code 2012-04-23T19:17:00

I love it! The graphics are great, the story is nice, the controls are usable and it's fun! I wish you good luck, I think this will go far :D

Earf Defender by cobrajs 2012-05-13T19:01:00

Pretty fun. Graphics are ok. Quite hard. Music is an obvious generation :P it;s not such a bad game actually

Itty-bitty botty by royvanrijn 2012-04-23T19:28:00

Nice! Graphics are neat, it's a little confusing unless you scroll down and it doesn't particularly feel like a game when you do :(

Gale Axile by free_napalm 2012-04-23T19:14:00

Pretty fun, music is a bit repetitive and the graphics are fairly simple but the concept is nice :)

Planet Life by Sos 2012-04-23T19:10:00

A bit chaotic, didn't get it at first :P Graphics are pretty funky. The music is neat too. Fun :)

Hero of Rain by the31 2012-04-23T19:21:00

Pretty fun, a bit hard and not much help with controls, is there any way to shoot or anything?

Cube World by FireSlash 2012-05-13T19:25:00

Great game! Fun, quite original at least from what I've seen

dLeIaFtEh by Cell 2012-04-23T19:42:00

Pretty fun :) A bit confused though...

Wunderworld by ratking 2012-04-23T19:06:00

Fun! Graphics are nice, the idea is nice too :) I think some preset levels would be good. The music is a little mixed up, some bits seem like calm melody played over a fast drum bit :/

Pull by maloki 2012-05-13T09:35:00

Love it! Audio is nice, originality isn't perfect but only being able to pull and automatically grabbing all surrounding you is pretty sweet. Got stuck on level 25 though and ragequit

Establichment by nddrylliog 2012-04-24T09:02:00

Pretty good, the graphics are a little shoddy and I had to install some stuff to make it work but it's quite fun. I just spammed houses though, if I didn't I'd get overrun by homeless people

Smallworld Survival by Norgg 2012-04-23T19:49:00

Pretty good. Graphics weren't great and the sound was non-existant. Pretty innovative and could evolve into something great :)

Fancy Seeing You Here by sstrandberg 2012-04-24T18:19:00

It's a great game! I love it, funny too.

Inside My Radio by TurboDindon 2012-04-24T18:45:00

Amazing! I totally love it! At first I thought it'd be shit as it was game maker but you proved me wrong! I knew games with game maker could be good, but I've always disapproved. For you I just made an exception :D

Microcosm by maxman43 2012-05-13T09:00:00

Quite a nice game. Pretty fun when you get the hang of it. The graphics are nice, but you do need a better tutorial or something. I somehow managed to complete it through a combination of guesswork and a little logic based on what happened when I clicked things

Nano Commander by SmallDeadGuy 2012-04-23T19:52:00

Yeah movement does crash every now an then, I know why too. Unfortunately not an easy to solve one (well the crash is but it'd involve losing the glitchy units who are the culprits)

Nano Commander by SmallDeadGuy 2012-05-13T09:38:00

Yeah I was trying to get a nice flocking algorithm going but couldn't really find anything that fit into a grid nicely with the amount of units being controlled

The Cube Realms by Zoomyzoom 2012-04-24T18:29:00

Quite hard to control, you should also use better input reading, such as checking if the button was previously pressed so you don't get repeated actions from one button press like on the menus. Could be better

Tiny World Defense by Whoosy 2012-05-13T19:06:00

Ok I guess. Pretty good but not particularly innovative and became tedious. Keep at it, you can only get better

Tiny Cubic Maze World by tomhunt 2012-05-13T18:58:00

Pretty fun, couldn't really tell the quality of the graphics due to graphical glitches in my browser. It looks good other than that, but there's also a lack of music. It's fun to play and relatively simple, although I think smoother movement would have been nice.

Amoebae by scgrn 2012-05-13T09:06:00

Great game, fun and nice graphics. Audio was pretty good too. My only comment would be that it's not particularly original, although it's still fun.

CULVEN by NeoTalon 2012-05-13T09:11:00

Ok I guess. Controls felt a bit awkward, the graphic style was ok but seemed a bit inconsistent. The help was hard to read.

Pixel Progression by pighead10 2012-05-13T19:11:00

Quite fun but a bit tedious and slow. The enemies were a bit too stupid as well, but nothing A* pathfinding wouldn't fix and at that movement rate you could have found a path for every enemy at every movement with no lag between movement times

Itty Bitty Boxy Thingy by dem0 2012-05-13T09:17:00

Fun game. One of the rare few with nice non-generated music :P Pretty fun but it is an idea I've seen before many times and from the first few levels I didn't really see much expansion on the idea of pushing boxes

LD25 — You are the Villain

Lunar Frenzy by Fireblend 2012-12-17T14:34:00

Fairly generic idea but made more fun. And he has a moustache :) 4/5

(Tie One Woman to a Train Track and Suddenly) I'm the Badguy by handCraftedRadio 2012-12-18T10:32:00

Nice game. Graphics are pretty cool, it's original, and I feel very evil :D

Invasion! by xgeovanni 2012-12-17T15:47:00

Quite fun. Graphics need improving. Has a fair bit of potential. Seems quite generic. Crashed for me after a while too

Woodcut Ted by rujo 2012-12-18T11:06:00

Kinda fun. Nice and polished

The Fall of the Shapes Father by WiseGAMER 2012-12-18T16:58:00

Ragequit on second level. Collisions are kind of annoying, and a bit boring. Seems to be a pretty generic concept, implemented kinda poorly. Sorry if I sound mean

Evil Keeper by XmmmX 2012-12-17T17:07:00

Controls are slightly awkward, in terms of buying things. I don't like the actual boss fighting much but maybe because I'm not used to it. It seems like I use more money in preparation (like treasure) than I gain in a fight

Happiness by iemfi 2012-12-17T16:51:00

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING! There are enemies in my ship but everything is solid :/ Things are weird, I just don't know... Seems kinda like you were going for something lke ftl but you build your own ship

G.O.A.T. by ChainedLupine 2012-12-18T10:51:00

Wow, this game. So fun :D

Prison Escape by Tyren 2012-12-18T10:55:00

Yeah, fun but hard.

Stealther - The Great Heist by Dissing 2012-12-17T16:53:00

Can't play on my 1366x768 screen, dammit! Kinda fun still, trying to guess what the bottom few tiles are

You Villainous Person You... by Msquirrel 2012-12-18T10:41:00

Everywhere I went was empty, got bored real quick...

Multigon: A story about an unloved mesh. by zompi 2012-12-18T08:58:00

It ran out of text but very good. Didn't understand it so much at the beginning and had a really inefficient design but it improved greatly after that :D

CostumeD by ryan0788 2012-12-17T17:10:00

Pretty good game. Not that evil, and could certainly use a slightly smaller screen height (lost myself off the bottom of my 1366x768 laptop screen)

Cursed Temple by SirJson 2012-12-17T17:00:00

Needs improvement. Graphics are pretty poor, glitchy if you move towards the edge, arrows seem to have varying/very little range and no physics, upgrades aren't that effective, sound was annoying, no music, etc. Sorry if I sound so mean but this seems like a fairly generically bad game

CORRUPTIONEXE by Xgor 2012-12-17T17:17:00

I win, I think. Neat game, coulda last longer and had more story but decent nonetheless. I like the idea of corrupting other games, I just wish you'd expanded it more

Colorful by suve 2012-12-17T17:13:00

Pretty fun. The colours are nice but I'm not a big fan of the minimalist style. At first I thought it was like VVVVVV but is it meant to be top-down? I couldn't tell if I was a floating ghost or what...

Gaben by Slushy 2012-12-17T17:21:00

WHY NO SOURCE LINK, AGAINST THE RULES!!!!! Anyway, funny. Pretty generic platformer. I get your theme idea though :P

Nosferatu Lurks by Princess Buccaneer 2012-12-18T10:44:00

The controls are kind of annoying, and I found the second level really difficult, as it'd either pounce far too far into the light or get stuck on a wall in the light. Pretty fun though

The Day Before by HardScore 2012-12-18T08:46:00

I don't really understand it but it's fun. The music is pretty cool, and the art is nice

Monologuer by Devenger 2012-12-18T08:47:00

I don't really understand it but hey, it was pretty fun

Land of the Weebums by vrav 2012-12-18T10:58:00

Fun, nice idea. Would have liked it to be expanded more

Space Restaurant by Cell 2012-12-17T16:31:00

Generic comment here. Amazing graphics. Fun. Theme pretty good. Not amazingly innovative but ++ for the awesome spray weapon. Sound kinda annoying though

Tale of Scale by ratking 2012-12-18T10:49:00

I swear it kept taking control of me and I couldn't do anything. I was only trying to make everything tiny! Great concept :D

Airship Infiltration by supermaximo93 2012-12-18T10:37:00

Pretty fun. Could have used more levels, the graphics were nice, the ending was kinda cool too

Rise of Evil by oldtopman 2012-12-18T17:03:00

There is no time for pokemon references!

We Drive Unto The Fortress by SmallDeadGuy 2012-12-17T14:55:00

Lol, I did think about changing the tutorial a bit and it would have been easy. Most people seem to fail a max of once though, at least my IRL friends after I laugh at them

We Drive Unto The Fortress by SmallDeadGuy 2012-12-17T20:17:00

Thanks for all the nice comments. The little complaints like the tutorial and no decent victory bit were simply due to lack of time. I think I invested too long in a menu system which I didn't fully utilise ;(

We Drive Unto The Fortress by SmallDeadGuy 2012-12-18T21:07:00

I would have added better multiplayer, with specific maps and more than 1 player and possibly different AI if I'd have had more time. The AI is pretty dumb in terms of strategy but for the 48 hours I'm pretty pleased with it, since most of it was me frantically hacking away at things in the car journey between my parent's houses.

That bug has been reported to me in irc, but I've only ever come across it once and no-one else has ever reported it so I haven't deemed it game-breaking enough to need a fix.

We Drive Unto The Fortress by SmallDeadGuy 2012-12-19T04:13:00

AIs getting very close was due to lack of time (and skill) on my part, and I found it made thinking of strategy to be more than just shoot then hide. I couldn't really nail the villain theme, since my idea was originally mostly planned for a few other themes then I tried to fit it around this one with the story. And yes, I did mean "harsh". I can't believe I never noticed that mistake

Conquering Oneself by VDZ 2012-12-17T17:26:00

Awesome game. Becoming what you have just defeated and then need to defeat? Wow................... I wish my idea went that deep, philosophically at least. All I got was a generic tank shooter, and before that a generic RTS, and before that a generic top-down shooter

You are the King by Polyganz 2012-12-17T16:44:00

Kinda boring. Doesn't fit the theme that well. Not particularly impressed, even though the 3d is nice

Bad Santa by Cat Burton 2012-12-18T11:08:00

I found a portal gun but I couldn't use it!

Dungeon Disaster by Zazibar 2012-12-18T10:27:00

A fun game! Lost the first game but after that it was easy to strategize and win. I'd like more levels and a story but it's a good game nonetheless! 4/5

In good heart by pighead10 2012-12-17T15:52:00

Difficult. Kinda confusing. Pretty fun. He kept raging at me :( Stopping your evil overlord doesn't make you see like the villian, so theme-- unfortunately. Graphics are nice, quite funny too. Good job!

Princess Keeper by lorancou 2012-12-18T09:00:00

Nice game! Doesn't seem to get particularly exciting too quickly but nice nonetheless :)

Poacher by kulhajs 2012-12-18T16:53:00

Kinda confusing at first. An in-game tutorial would be nice, and menu and things. I swear you move far too slowly. Pretty nice though

LD26 — Minimalism

Mag Ball by MTO 2013-05-01T19:01:00

Runs REALLY badly on my native 1920x1080 resolution even though I have a beastly gaming laptop which runs most things at max settings perfectly, had to make a pretty damn small window. Didn't seem like a game at all, and the kinda thing you might knock up in an hour to test a physics engine.

Citsilaminim by AngelDE98 2013-04-29T15:09:00

Fun game, controls felt a bit iffy at some places like wall jumping and such. Title music is really quite grindy. On the whole pretty good for 48 hours :D

Miasma by Hemuuuli 2013-04-29T07:42:00

I hit F1 for help and it threw a russian page at me. Then I walked around for ages and got game over...

Greyspace by Spierek 2013-04-29T07:37:00

Great game. Graphics are nice, quite fun, and humourous at the end.

Keypad Trainer Turbo by sol_hsa 2013-05-03T07:52:00

I get about 3.5, I wish I used my numpad on my laptop more. Having to hit backspace when I fat-finger 2 keys annoys me :(

Shape Attack by mechagk 2013-05-02T10:27:00

Really confusing at the beginning, some kind of in-game tutorial would be nice. Fairly original, could do with more polish

16 by Xaychru 2013-04-29T07:49:00

Kinda fun, a bit repetitive. Audio was quite nice

Out Of Light by Msquirrel 2013-04-29T07:47:00

I didn't seem to die. And ammo was so scarce I killed like 6 zombies then just ran around looking for ammo.

20 Seconds by KayZ 2013-05-01T16:41:00

I got bored of waiting and decided to just go negative score. Got like 3 achievements. Kind of ok, not exactly original until I got to the 4 pong paddle bits. The sounds were ok but some music would be nice

BEAPE by Xgor 2013-04-29T14:55:00

One of the more polished games I've seen so far, good job.

Root Route! by netpro2k 2013-05-02T17:46:00

Nice game, well polished. I don't see many jam games.

Root Route! by netpro2k 2013-05-02T18:39:00

Nice game, well polished. I don't see many jam games. Really cool mechanic but it was hard to estimate collisions around objects.

Physix-Breaker by Kashi 2013-05-02T14:47:00

Physics was kinda ok. The ball was a bit weird and seemed to just stick towards either edge of the screen. Not much polish such as menus for the 48 hours. The paddle moved far too slowly.

360 by ShellfishGames 2013-05-02T14:05:00

Quite nice game. Could use a bit more polish with music but the puzzles are really nice.

minimalism by tchagnon 2013-05-01T18:12:00

There is nowhere near enough distance to fall to tell which is the shortest, and sometimes there are 2 almost identically short. very simple, didn't seem to have any audio. It is only 48 hours, but even my first entry like a few years ago wasn't anywhere near this simple.

i need to lie down by JigxorAndy 2013-05-03T07:58:00

Oh god wtf trippy should not play this before lesson i feel sick. uuuuurrrrggghhhh. Great game though, nice implementation of normal avoidance games. Confused me a bit at first until I realised the concept.

Where is my Bone? by Uhfgood 2013-05-03T07:48:00

Funny game, all I found was a potato

The Quest for Minimalism by Arkazon 2013-05-01T18:52:00

A little simple and easy. Graphics weren't too bad, and was a little puzzling. Not bad for 48 hours, but some audio and a bit more polish would be nice.

They Don't Stop Coming by SmallDeadGuy 2013-04-29T15:45:00

Did a windows reupload because it seemed broked to some people in IRC, try the download link again if it doesn't work for you. Be sure to run oalinst.exe if it doesn't run in case the problem is openal

i by Muu? 2013-05-01T18:58:00

Quite simple, particles were really nice. Was kinda hard until I realized just sit at an end and shoot constantly. Can't lose

MBlok by tSwitch 2013-05-02T17:42:00

Quite fun, music was annoyingly load because of my headphones, I normally turn down the volume in everything as windows doesn't go below 2%. Fun game, fairly generic concept but implementation was very good.

You are the Minimalist by pighead10 2013-05-01T16:51:00

Couldn't get past the 5th level. Was quite fun. The numbers (I guess) at the top were just squares I guess I don't have the font you use for it. Innovative and kinda hard. Would have liked the player to be like the same size as the grid and probably locked to it too. Would make it much easier to generate the path you're actually trying to make.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Maze Rush by OneL3gend 2013-09-06T08:38:00

Seems promising, maybe a bit more preparation with javascript beforehand could have allowed you to get further. The art is nice, movement feels a bit slow paced even if it is timed.

Ten Second Sketch Racer by mollymus 2013-08-27T10:07:00

Nice work! Great concept, music is awesome, difficulty scales nicely. Glad this isn't in the 48 hour competition, I couldn't compete with it :P

Wordio by Tundmatu 2013-08-26T11:09:00

Nice little game, the words seemed to come in in little groups that made it slightly harder to be typing at a constant rate. Feels very nicely polished

40 in 10 by djbriandamage 2013-08-27T09:57:00

Music didn't work for me, felt like a basic "throw stereotypes at you as a prediction" thing. Not actually a game...

Ten Second Days by SmallDeadGuy 2013-08-27T16:20:00

Blame the theme, it'd be faster if it was 5 seconds :P I didn't want to go making the night-time a different length than the day because it's weird and would fit the theme less
