LD22 — Alone

Chromboid by pekuja 2011-12-30T22:51:00

Awesome graphics. It's just too bad that the game is unfinished...

Ravenwood by Danik 2011-12-30T23:52:00

Bonus humor for the sounds :D

Kitty Box by LandsharkRAWR 2012-01-06T06:51:00

Can we get any clue about an eventual ending / mechanic of this game ? Or is just a metaphor of "alone" ?

Midnight Run by Char 2011-12-20T16:12:00

The game doesn't start on firefox... Remember that you are allowed to tweak your game for this kind of critical error.

Midnight Run by Char 2011-12-20T16:13:00

Not working =/

I Was Here by yosh 2012-01-03T07:34:00

Thanks for the feedback :)

The game is mostly missing some sounds, a music and animation for the main character... for sure. I also think that an improved game-design would have avoided the ambiguous "water jump".

Concerning the programming, I made this engine "from scratch" based on previous little game projects of my own. (you can check this one for instance: http://www.kongregate.com/games/yoshh/samsara ).

Finally, I'm quite bad in pure story telling games... especially because I put the writing part at the extreme end of the compo (combined with a non-native tongue awful style).

Separation Anxiety by TaintedFork 2011-12-30T23:02:00

Bonus mood for the texts.

The Onanist by Yapikom 2012-01-06T07:10:00

Too "hard" (or maybe not enough because I lost)

LD23 — Tiny World

Deconstructorium by Deconstructeam 2012-04-23T22:26:00

Good game ! However I got a bug: while going through the purple matter, my character was not able to fly anymore.

Soul Searchin' by MaximSchoemaker 2012-04-24T15:55:00

Bravo :D

Tiny Island Adventure by AdventureIslands 2012-04-24T00:21:00

Nice graphics! I think your idea is more or less inspired by Bastion (floating islands, kind of narration describing the main character actions and so on). I would have been nice to do not have to retry at the very beginning of the zone when dying. Good job !

Boundaries by jeffreybiles 2012-05-13T22:24:00

This deserves a five stars for FUN !

Microscopia by azurenimbus 2012-05-10T10:50:00

Simple but so clever concept.
For those who get stuck near end levels (a key stroke move everyone), the easiest way to win is to keep on key pressed to clear the scene, and then just see which one seems to obey.

Jetpack Pixel by Dir3kt 2012-05-12T16:26:00

"You survived 35H" - That's easy I'm french.

Bunny Cube by Sebby 2012-05-12T16:23:00

Is that a sad ending ?
Cute little game, and thanks for the DIABLO III FINGERS TRAINING =D

Tiny World: The Musical: The Game by pdyxs 2012-04-24T00:42:00

This is worth 5 stars for the music, its lyrics and the sound synchronization.

ascii world by dwrensha 2012-05-12T16:15:00

HINT for those still stuck: "The stars are the key" ^^

Nice concept! I was just disappointed when I figured out that there was not a lot of thing to do in the game (unless I missed something important...).

Memento XII by deepnight 2012-04-28T22:58:00

Very nice game ! Your last entry was already amazing and well this one is still promising. I'm still a fan of the graphical style, I would only reproach the game resolution and poor SFX (missing music or something for stronger feelings). Nice story telling btw.

Félicitations ;)

SPOILER/TIP: For people stuck with the park/broom, have a look to the wooden case.

ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING by JigxorAndy 2012-04-28T21:55:00

Really loved the ending :D

[Darkness Creeping] by AD-Edge 2012-05-08T13:53:00

Great mood !
This game is clearly impressive for a 48 hours entry, however I'd mainly criticize the fact that you don't go further with the "mind control" concept.
Another weak point: it's missing some sounds and ambient musics for a better experience.
A very interesting thing is also how the main character is actually moving, unsteady and slowly...

Tiny Monk by Krisjet 2012-04-24T00:10:00

Nice little game, I was very surprised when the boss appeared, and also when he defeated me in a couple of seconds. Too bad for the bugs though.

Overpopulous by Make A Game 2012-04-24T17:12:00

Very nice game ! Just a bug I had: the ship seems to disappear sometimes... I basically used the center of the screen as a reference but it's harder for sure... Good job :D

Flyght by yosh 2012-04-24T00:48:00

Thanks for the comments =)
Indeed time was missing for polishing and working on a complete level... Since I don't want to cheat, this "short" version will unfortunately stay as the final submission. (I will maybe propose an extended one since it's not so hard to put content in a level but I don't want it to influence in the votes ^^)

Flyght by yosh 2012-04-24T21:04:00

@Ace: Yeah I had the same problem, use "V" to shoot while moving.

Flyght by yosh 2012-05-03T19:36:00

@ragnister: You totally got the plot :D

Flyght by yosh 2012-05-12T16:39:00

@Rabbits... The only problem with that are neophyte people who don't see the keyboard comparison, but yeah I totally agree with what you say about all these endless "how to play" tutorials. Plus, I saved time doing so.

@Jezzamon: Because the main concept was quite commonplace, I firstly tried to add a music rhythmic thing to the game.
However, current web browsers coupled with HTML5 aren't good enough for the moment to handle something sufficiently precise with sounds.
So we can say that "sound musical" is at least what I could reach :p

Flyght by yosh 2012-05-12T16:42:00

@Jezzamon(bis): Btw I used GarageBand and loop samples for this music. I had unfortunately not enough time (and skills) to do something more personal with digitalized instruments.

Gulliver by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2012-04-24T01:28:00

Damn the soundtrack is really awesome ! How did you manage so many musics with such a quality ? Deserve a Audio 5-stars for that. The main reproach is unfortunately the ship hitbox :/

LD24 — Evolution

FronSkratx by muh_h 2012-09-12T06:17:00

I love the concept but it's quite hard and checkpoints would have been great :P (For instance, you just lose your total score but you can try again without retrying everything from start).

Unnatural Selection by gritfish 2012-09-02T23:26:00

Man this game ROCKS. Really funny!
Too bad for the pieces of graphic missing : /

Time Boson by martensms 2012-09-03T02:54:00

I got the same than eShredder. Is it like a big joke or am I missing something? (captain obvious please)

Deal with It by midgard 2012-09-03T00:01:00

Fun but quite hard :X

I'd Change the World for You by Zanzlanz 2012-09-03T02:44:00

Well for a first time it's more than good! The music is excellent, the 2d engine is working and the graphics are nice!

Two weak points:
- The level design is too linear
- I suppose that the switches that activate the blocks and change the level is your interpretation of the theme. I think you could have been further here ;)

Fluff by someone 2012-09-03T01:56:00

Your engine is pretty well design for such a short time! Too bad you couldn't end it the way you would like to.

FOR THE darWIN by TravisChen 2012-09-02T23:56:00

Pretty graphics and smooth animations... I like it!

New Unity Project by Tomynok 2012-09-03T02:32:00

The concept is damn good but well the game would deserve to be a little more polished.
Good job guys!

Super Robocade by VoEC 2012-09-02T23:05:00

I really like the retro-style aspect of this game. Also, the evolution system is pretty smart and fun. Nice game!

Cubevo by NostraDamon 2012-09-02T22:44:00

Really a good concept! My only reproach would be that trees should throw more EvoGems because there's a time you clearly miss some :/

An Amoeba's Awesome Adventure. by zakchaos 2012-09-03T01:33:00

Man I loved the fish face :D
It's a good start, could be fun to work on it again and try to improve your concept :)

LimiT by Sakuyan 2012-09-02T23:09:00

Amazing graphics!
It's really missing sounds and a better ending I guess ^^

Squarely Alive by Leebo86 2012-09-02T16:56:00

Nice concept, maybe AI balancing would have been nice... but lack of time is cruel :P

Cellception by DiG 2012-09-03T00:30:00

Unfortunately my framerate is damn too low to play : (
(Maybe a post-compo no high-config version?)

And Then There Was Pong by Zabot 2012-09-03T02:27:00

Always nice to find some interesting interpretations of the theme :)

Moche by Ilod 2012-09-03T00:16:00

French spotted? Anyway, it's a very interesting concept but still a little bit confusing. (Et terriblement moche mais on s'en fiche ahah :D).

Additive by Desi Quintans 2012-09-03T03:01:00

Well done! I really like the king of generated song that you got when mixing multiple piece quickly.
Also, on the last puzzle, you can simply only move the black squares and avoid any complexity. Is it something you wanted? (A scoring system would prevent this trick I suppose)

Darwinphony by philosophistry 2012-09-02T23:32:00

Generative music gameplay ftw !

Evolution Heroes by Rubel 2012-09-03T00:11:00

You're playing the nostalgic string :D
Controls are a bit tight but that's good overall!

[0-Evo] by Krobill 2012-09-03T02:20:00

Excellent game! Would made a wonderful mobile app... (I wasn't really efficient with my touchpad here :D)

EvoDragon by PixelOaks 2012-09-13T22:09:00

Where the hell is the "Cuteness" rating category?

Hard Life 3X by echa 2012-09-03T00:53:00

Really nice concept. Would be a nice mobile app!

Quantum Seed by motionbit 2012-09-12T06:13:00

Visually and musically speaking, it's really incredible. However the gameplay is badly poor and unchallenging. Certainly a lack of time I suppose!

No Tap Enis by Nile 2012-09-02T17:03:00

+1 for the game name and description

The Balance by mr_Hk_ 2012-09-03T01:16:00

If we put apart the wonderful graphics, there's something really interesting that goes beyond the game itself. The evolution here depends on how players are actually playing, and this is huge.
I only regret the very limited gameplay tough.

The Legend of Marilia by Doft 2012-09-03T01:29:00

The game itself is cool but I don't see the link with 'Evolution'. Also, you should have tried to compose a little bit longer music. (loop is too short!)

MuTaTrIs by yosh 2012-08-27T14:34:00

Thanks for the feedback. This problem appears on non-chrome browser so far.

I think it's something wrong with the music file sizes. The loading script sometimes abort for no reason. I have to figure out what's wrong with it.

MuTaTrIs by yosh 2012-09-02T02:12:00

Ok guys I switched the audio library to Buzz (http://buzz.jaysalvat.com/) that I should have REALLY used before.

Firefox doesn't support MP3, therefore I'm using the OGG format, however, I still have HTTP 206 status. (And not anymore with Safari).

I will try to find a workaround for Firefox users (the best I can imagine so far is to play it locally with .wav music files). I'll let you know soon.

Also @gnx: I reduced the sideways motion a little bit :)

Thanks for the feedback and enjoy!

MuTaTrIs by yosh 2012-09-02T02:28:00

Just figured out that there's an issue with Buzz and Firefox >.<
https://github.com/jaysalvat/buzz/issues/13

MuTaTrIs by yosh 2012-09-02T03:44:00

Updated this entry with a Firefox online version (music are loaded while the game is running). Sorry for the inconvenience :)

Concealing the truth by Mesene 2012-09-03T02:00:00

In 5 hours that's something already remarkable. But you can feel that the gameplay is clearly missing some diversity ^^

StarwingZ by diki 2012-09-03T02:13:00

Man I almost had a heart attack when I discovered how to start the game (Should have read instructions first >,<).
Anyway... it's pretty good and really addictive. I don't necessarily see the link with the theme 'evolution' though.
Something that would be awesome is a scoring system!

Dig, Jesus! Dig! by monkeymad2 2012-09-03T02:06:00

What a game... Jesus!

Super Charles Darwin by gnx 2012-09-02T17:00:00

Ah ah so fun. The main weak point is clearly the character's controls. (The damn jump is too tight!).
Also as you said, it's quite hard :D

Dinolution by The Evil Cult 2012-09-02T17:14:00

Nice little game with good Graphics and Audio.
Well done!

Icarus: the Evolution of Flight by Wanderlands 2012-09-03T02:47:00

You guys should definitely post something. Even though it's unfinished, out of the regular delay, or not as good as you expected, it's too bad to give up when you seems to have a playable content.

The Voynich Experiment by Wan 2012-09-02T23:41:00

Well that's an amazing HTML5 game. I really really liked the hand-written style of the graphics, put in that a old-fashion scroll.
Good job!

DNA_Evolution by dj_pale 2012-09-02T23:20:00

I don't have a mouse right now so it was quite a pain to score anything. However I like this puzzle concept and it could certainly make a mobile game :P

Dissolution by Sergey Mohov 2012-09-02T23:16:00

I don't really know what to say. This game looks really great but is unfortunately unfinished. You have done something great so far, that's a very good point. Try to continue this game later and post an update on the home page :)

LD28 — You Only Get One

One Word by Jojo 2013-12-23T02:40:00

Interesting!
Here a few suggestions:
- Draw an ascii map as you explore the world
- Support all kind of case in the input field (south == sOuth == South etc.)

Robo Juicestice by BNeutral 2013-12-23T03:03:00

Amazing art!! This game was a bit hard to play with a touchpad, but overall it's pretty solid. I was a bit confused during the boss fight, after many death and what I thought could be the death of the boss itself, the game stopped and asked me to press <1>. Is that the normal ending?
Great job!

You only get one digit! by drnick 2013-12-20T07:24:00

Ahah that was unexpected. I guess this is your first attempt in game-making? If so, that's a good start. You managed to finish something simple & fully playable. Next time, you should try to add some interactivity using something simple like jquery or similar to manipulate the text, form etc. (Great example: http://candies.aniwey.net/)

Super Epic Robot Battles by psychopsam 2013-12-23T03:48:00

Nice little game, a bit hard to control at first, but then it gets fun to play with your mecha. Bonus points for the mood as well!
Also, this game had a proportionally-inverse difficulty curve. At first you have all the enemies shooting at you like crazy... then it's all quiet :D
It was kind of funny to see the EXIT_FOUND text through the walls ^^

Berathen Jam by Venks 2013-12-20T08:03:00

This is Wario Ware hehe :D
I really like these kind of games. Maybe the game could benefit from randomly generated patterns to avoid seeing the same thing over and over.
Otherwise it's a pretty good job... congrats!

FowL Play by Sakuyan 2013-12-22T11:18:00

Awesome pixel art graphics :)
Bonus points for using Construct2 !

Luminess by iiechapman 2013-12-23T04:25:00

I really LOVED the particles all around. Mixed with the relaxing music, it's just creating this unique & great atmosphere. I surprised myself just looking at the particles fade away, it's really beautiful.

Only complain: The shooting noise is kind of too loud and doesn't really match the others elements of the game...

Good job and cool video btw.

You Only Get To Save One by PEBKAC 2013-12-23T04:08:00

At first I was unsure about my hero hitting zombies but by getting close enough it seemed to do the trick!
This game was actually really fun! Even if quite short, with an approximative gameplay and camera, no sounds etc. I had lots of fun!
Good job for a 48h compo!

Game of One by Dohan 2013-12-22T10:52:00

1.
(But 5 in humor :D)

Castle Uno by SecondDimension 2013-12-23T04:04:00

Cute little game that exploits the concept in an interesting and original way. Wished it was a bit longer, but that's already a great performance given the short deadline :)

You ONLY Get One Nuke by barret907k 2013-12-23T04:15:00

The music in the title screen is so epic! Very hard game, would it be possible to make a mouse gameplay version?

Channel by BradleySmith 2013-12-23T03:17:00

*faceplant*

No kidding, this was a risky bet, but I loved it! Really cool in its simplicity and humor :)

Constrained by Split82 2014-01-04T16:40:00

Such a great concept!

YOGO PATH by cesisco 2013-12-18T09:07:00

A game made with Construct 2? Great!
Really cool concept. It's indeed pretty amazing to see how much you could do in 48h, and that includes what most people don't have time to do: polishing!
My only reproach would be that sometimes, it's hard to do the jumps between the mines because the distance between the two guys is getting larger and larger (in an unexpected way)...

Also, is the double jump effect something you thought about when implementing the gameplay?

Good job!

Doubt by rxi 2014-01-05T16:05:00

I just finished the game. It has an awesome atmosphere created by both astonishing visual effects and an intriguing musical background. Everything here reminds us of a dream (dark screen, recurrent flashes, déjà-vus and finally the big fall). However, I might have missed what was the link with the theme here.

*Spoilers*
Endless scrolling: Try to get rid of your companion.
4 Doors: Listen carefully to the 4 sounds.
Déjà-vu: If you were in the kitchen as visited previously, you could see a door.

Shadow Night by ParaPup 2013-12-18T08:11:00

For some reason I knew this game would scare me, and it did as soon as the light s changed to the purple color. Really loved the atmosphere! (sounds effects and lights).

Too bad it's unfinished, but for a first time on Unity, all my congratulations, it's a great achievement :)

Batteries Not Included by sockfolder 2013-12-19T07:08:00

Great little game, nice graphics and the story got me somewhat hooked :)
There's a little something wrong with the scrolling parallax, not sure what it is but it makes me kind of sick :D

You only get one arrow by tobbez 2013-12-23T03:12:00

At first one could expect some newbie made game with nothing to play with, but on the contrary, we hit a pretty cool little game, with a big world to explore, powerups, a precise gameplay and secrets! It reminded me of Knitt story, that I really love.
The final boss was unfortunately too fast for me, but I'd say that this game deserves some good ratings :)
Congratulations!

LoneStranger's YOH1B by LoneStranger 2013-12-19T06:29:00

This game is a good start, to me it would need some heavy polishing and some additional gameplay concepts to make it more arcade-ish and fun to play. Additionally, it's kind of hard to estimate what will happen when you jump because of the perspective.
Nice little game :)

The sidekicks by Ludipe 2013-12-22T11:10:00

The gameplay is a bit approximative but overall this game is so great! Graphics, Audio, etc. all very polished :)

My Champion by jacklehamster 2013-12-22T10:50:00

Really fun! It's just very hard to survive face to these giant and powerful gorillas :D
One weak point would be the AI, as hard as it can be to work on a functional & smart AI in 72h, there is still a situation during which the bots get stuck with the ball and you can't do anything because your poor cat is way to weak to tackle or anything :P

0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-20T08:43:00

Nice entry! Even though the concept has been seen before, you still managed to make the game look pretty and fun. Good job ;)

parallelsync by 0x0961h 2013-12-20T08:59:00

Unique and very interesting game mechanic... I'm going to recommend this game to some friends because it's really worth it!

Food Survival by van noctar 2013-12-22T11:46:00

Nice drawings :)
Not sure how it fits the theme, but it was fun to play! I also like the fact that the opponents are actually falling the same way the hero does... it somehow equilibrates the game a bit more given how hard it is already :D

Jameson The Pilot by rezoner 2013-12-22T12:15:00

This game is huge! (universe etc.)
Not sure I see the direct link with the theme though.
All my congratulations ;)

Cat Gentlemans Play: Insult Spinner 10 Cents by RobotLovesKitty 2014-01-04T16:07:00

Awesome game!

One by whiteravens 2013-12-20T07:35:00

That was balsy. 5 stars

Creator Story Saga Tycoon by Bruno Massa 2013-12-19T06:44:00

Really addictive, as others mentioned before me, it reminded me of cookie clicker too ^^
Great humor and excellent music... I wish it was possible to progress without having to click like crazy all the time :D

Medieval Fantasy Island by aayars 2013-12-18T08:57:00

Gorgeous graphics & great music: high ratings for that!
On the other hand, as soon as I read what would be the game mechanic, I was quickly scarred that its limit would show up pretty soon... And it is. To me, the game gets boring as soon as you realize that you are on rail track, with limited choice and repetitive actions... too bad!

Anyhow, this game is a huge achievement in many way, it's hard to deny it :) Great job!

One Touch Of Music by KumoKairo 2013-12-18T09:13:00

I think we got a new puzzle concept!
You could really monetize this cool game by porting it on mobile! (even though I would hate to sit next to someone playing this game :D).

Back to the LudumDare context, I would mainly criticize the fact you don't necessarily respect the them... Or maybe because it's only one strike?

Great job!

Cure the infected! by archaeometrician 2013-12-22T11:15:00

Great music + really fun = awesome. Too bad it's so hard to move around within all these guys :P
Maybe the theme could have been explored slightly differently... it's a bit easy to just say 'you have only one chance' ^^

Still a very good little game ;)

Yogo's Adventure by OhFiddleDiddle 2013-12-19T06:23:00

At first I was pretty reluctant to play this game, but once you reach level 2, things are getting interesting! Good humor, surprisingly great mood as well!
I wonder if there's a secret ending in the case you pass al the levels :)
Good job!

Protoport by Und[0]ne Devs 2013-12-22T11:38:00

Fun to play! But SO HARD!!
I'm not sure I get how is this game related to the theme... but what the hell it's so fun :P

The hunter by MrTedders 2013-12-19T07:30:00

It's probably not on purpose but someone had the exact same idea for LD26 (minimalism). That created an immediate déjà-vu for me, but on the paper, the concept is really great. So here we have only one arrow, it was maybe not the best gameplay choice, but at least it makes the game more realistic I guess.

What I really loved though was the mood emerging from this game. The dark atmosphere and the sound effects just hook you up instantly, then we have this weird narrative layer coming up... really well done.

Congratulation for this... 48h game! wow

Cubric by noethis 2013-12-19T07:19:00

It's always refreshing and mind bending to get to meet new puzzle game mechanics. Thank you for that! The fact we have only one move limits the complexity but I'm pretty sure the game could go very far with this concept.
Great job!

Moments of Paranoia by SpellingPhailer 2013-12-20T08:40:00

Very impressive entry. I liked it a lot :)
I suppose the reason why the timer is so short is probably to force the player to make a choice. As soon as the game is finished in one way or the other, we realize that the trick is: no real ending... killing kind of any re-play value for the game. But at same time, that's exactly the point of this game, make you realize you had no real good choice. I personally believe that the monster -if it exists- would be the guy on the right, holding the gun (nice finale right?).

Anyway... really great game! Congratulations :)

Unibrow by ViliX64 2013-12-22T11:04:00

Awesome work given the 48h deadline!
The concept is really great, though it doesn't for sure fit the theme... I also like the music itself, which puts the player in quiet and relaxing mood.
Weak points would be: Level design (kind of approximative), and gameplay: the battery thing is kind of useless and a pain...

Great job!

Wall of Fingers by LTPATS 2013-12-19T07:01:00

This game has the weirdest audio ever... but it actually blends pretty well in this even weirder atmosphere!
The fact we have only one life is probably what justify the theme I guess... it's a bit too bad because the game gets quickly frustrating as soon as you lose at the second level for instance.
One more thing, it wasn't obvious to me how to use the purple mask, maybe some practice level would be nice to get the player started :)

Anyhow, it's a great achievement. As many said, very polished and nice pixel art & visual effects. Good job!

Purpose by deepnight 2013-12-20T07:19:00

This is an incredible achievement... 7 hours right? That just blows my mind :)
Even though the concept has nothing particularly new, the story telling was here to raise the bar. Not forgetting the very polished graphics... this style of yours never deceive me!

Too bad it's unfinished... good job!

Hamsters in Space by majorcrampas 2013-12-23T02:24:00

I wanted to drag one of the hamsters with me, but I killed it instead... I'm a monster :'(

Who's the Worst Person in the World? by whiteknife 2013-12-20T08:16:00

Cool little game!

Given the medium, I wished more options were available to enable forks in the story and add some interesting re-play value. But that imply a way bigger complexity in how to connect all the dots :)

In order to make the story more impacting, maybe it would have been cool to play around with the way the text is displayed. Instead of having one big block of text coming to our face, display things letter by letter, play with the tempo, the colors, etc.

That was still nice experience though! Good job ;)

Drone! by FistBumpGames 2013-12-23T02:30:00

Great visual, I really liked the atmosphere you were creating here.

Weak points: some gameplay glitches can get annoying: for instance, sometime one of the ALIENS just rush on you super fast, and you get killed for no apparent reason. Secondly, the music is basically 4 notes...? :D

Human Invasion ! by LatFoued 2013-12-18T08:17:00

Alright. Fun things about this game:
1) Is the hero blind?
2) is he turning zombies into BLIND PEOPLE?
3) How come are we saving humanity if PEOPLE EXPLODE AFTERWARDS?? xD

Great pixel art graphics, bonus for the custom music. Simple and close to the theme :)

You Are Disabled by Cory Martin 2014-01-04T16:30:00

5 stars!

Lumen by Nelien 2013-12-19T07:25:00

Just fantastic...

You really feel like your are underwater, the darkness and the visual effects are here to reinforce this feeling and make everything so vivid.

Only one bad thing I'd point out is the fact you can't really guess what's an enemy or not. You get some bad surprises at first, but get used to it afterwards.

Excellent job!

City of Death by dznemotion 2013-12-22T10:39:00

Nice little game, I liked the visual effect making everything all blurry with retro-noise when the character runs too much. Solid work for a 48h compo!

One Arrow by 7elephants 2013-12-22T11:34:00

This game is just gorgeous... I mean it. Really easy to play, simple and efficient concept respecting the them... green thumb!
Maybe some relaxing music would be a plus!

Last Minute Christmas Chopping by Notch 2013-12-18T08:33:00

Really cool little game! (And bravo for being a Dart pioneer).

Loved the art of the game. Are the purple trees a reference to Day of the Tentacle?

What could be improved:
- more entity types
- stupid AND/OR catchy music

Also, in a totally different topic, I Love you Notch <3

Someone's F***ing Hitler by biscuitdough 2013-12-19T06:52:00

Hitler was apparently the first guy I talked to, but I realized that after realizing how obvious it was!
Cool little game, I wished the length of the music loop was SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN 3 seconds :D

APOKEALYPSE by OnionBlaze 2013-12-18T09:01:00

So I did a first quick playthrough, before realizing that you literally need to go like crazy in order to do a 100%.
I want to know how the concept came up :D

Moon's quest by JaJ 2013-12-20T07:52:00

Classical cool little RPG. The retro palette is throwing us back to the golden age of video game, and so is the global atmosphere of this game!
I would only reproach too linear dungeons and battles (it's basically always the same fights in long and "boring" corridors).
Great job!

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-17T10:37:00

UPDATE: Music & sounds are more or less working. The game now takes even longer to load, hurray! #HTML5 #wow #soFuture.

@burgerdare: Problem solved!
@ParaPup: See above!
@Jin47: Thank you =)
@kyyrma: Well as unlucky as this could seem, if you see that time it means you have died at the very end :D (sorry)
@LatFoued, @BlazingFanfish: Many thanks to you two ;)

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-19T07:04:00

@hamster_mk_4: Sorry about that, I'm getting more and more fedup with my way of dealing with game assets (notably everything related to audio). If I ever come to use this engine for future projects, I'll make sure to get away this frustration of having the loading stuck. In the meantime I would attempt a restart, if still nothing I'd be interested to debug the issue with you.

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-19T07:34:00

@Bruno: What kind of bug was that critical? Last time I got some weird behavior from the games (wrong collision detection etc.) it was because of the developer console open while playing. Could you tell me more by any chance?
@Nick Weihs: I'm fighting hard against this stupid bug, it's really making me crazy right now ><

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-21T20:15:00

^ indeed. Restarting asap

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-23T03:19:00

^ it's actually other people. I record movements from all the sessions, classify them by performance to give the feeling that more and more people are failing as you progress. The only problem is the lag when replaying player records... which gives this feeling that we have some kind of crappy cheating AI :)

Also, the stats are real, the server crashed recently so I might have lost some data though :)

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-23T04:53:00

@Bradley: Thanks, most people didn't see the twist. The one you can see at the end screen is basically supposed to represent a heart-beat, and your cursor was all along... sperm :D

Will You Be The 1. by yosh 2013-12-26T08:49:00

^ Sorry I was out for a while. And to my very own surprise, it was the web server that died this time -.-
All good again!
(Ok now I know why it's such a pain to run online games ==> maintenance :D)

TITAN SOULS by Claw 2014-01-05T16:20:00

This game brought to me two great memories: Shadow of the colossus and Dark Souls.
The musics were just incredible (this guy needs to become a pro).
Graphics simple but efficient.
Boss battles epic and interesting.

And the gameplay mechanic just perfect. (love the visual effect when you aim).

One thing I didn't like though... the ending :(

Fantastic work guys.

Fountain by Terry 2013-12-22T10:44:00

The concept is great, however (and maybe it was a bug or me not finding the right way to go) you get to lose pretty fast if you don't do frequent round-trips to the fountain.
This limits the exploration time a bit too drastically, removing somehow the fun of the game.
The game itself is very polished: change in aspect, music and therefore global atmosphere as long as we age... great mood!

Congratz Terry =)

clic only by nicso 2014-01-04T16:37:00

Really cool idea!

superfrozenkittengetsonlyonesecretbottleforyou by evilindiegames 2014-01-05T16:30:00

Dafuq did I just play? :D

One Path by postmodestie 2013-12-20T08:25:00

Dat sounds effects :)
It's always great to have games with assets entirely made from scratch. It's making everything more authentic and fun.

"Que sera sera" -> "Qui vivra, verra" ?

One Cigarette by Suese 2013-12-22T23:41:00

Really a great game, but with two huge problems:
1) Mouse wheel to change items: I have a touchpad right now, it's super annoying and not precise.
2) Shooting bullets: There's a bug where the character seems to shot bullet at a random location, it's not convenient at all to kill all the bad guys :P

Apart from that, it was quite fun, well realized and it respects the theme!

I want to know how all of this ends!!

Goblyrinth by Mlle Eole 2013-12-18T08:28:00

Really cool concept! It unfortunately took me a while to understand what was going on at first, but that was because I shamelessly skipped the instructions screen.
A way to improve that would be to provide some kind of interactive tutorial guiding the player as well as bringing the player to the fun atmosphere of the game.
Something else that would be cool is maybe some sounds and music, but it might hard to get something not too loopy.

Toutes mes félicitations ;)

Lift Up by aeveis 2013-12-23T03:40:00

So cute! A bit hard to get the controls at first, but then it's all fun! I wish this game was slightly longer... also kind of sad ending : P

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Planets][Empire by yosh 2014-08-28T04:09:00

@micahcowan: Yep you are right... I just added a link to the source code in the description :)

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Clockwise by schnerble 2014-12-16T06:39:00

Nice little game! I ended up playing the post-compo version after making a mistake in the original version and not being able to restart the level. Though I totally appreciate your honesty here, I believe the ability to restart could totally be incorporated in the first version without considering that "cheating" :)

Bonus points for:
- Web;
- All the animations;
- Innovation!

Good job!

The Paper Dance by TravisChen 2014-12-16T23:28:00

Really an excellent game. It took me some time to understand the fact that more white dancers = more flowers to collect.

This game was such a great experience, as the player, I was literally making the performance while still trying to score as much as possible.

Lastly, the game didn't even lag with all the characters and collectible and particles showing up at once... pretty impressive.
5 stars :)

Galactyc Budget Flights by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2014-12-10T00:55:00

That was fun! Really hard but fun :D
Also +1 for the mouth-made sounds ;)

Vibrant City by Anshul Goyal 2014-12-11T16:46:00

Tested with a touchpad... and gosh that was hard!
I like the idea though!
Something that could have been cool is to be able to zoom to have a better precision on a giving area.
Maybe also show/increase the scope of the hero.

Good job!

Mr. Bushido: Businessman Infinite by Spaghetti and Meatball 2014-12-16T23:34:00

Cool concept! It's simple, but totally fits the theme. The character design is excellent :D
What's missing the most is probably sound effects and music.

Good job!

Never alone on this stupid screen by sam101 2014-12-09T22:24:00

Really enjoyed this one! It got me hooked pretty fast though I'm pretty sure I died for unknown reasons!

I still made it through level 2 and killed what could have people or bots... it didn't matter as long as they would die B)

Fun!

Blacksmith's Apprentice by CTATZ 2014-12-16T23:53:00

Maybe I wasn't doing that right, but how do you know that your character is successfully mining?
I kind of liked smashing the little shadows with the pickaxe, however at some point, the waves of enemies are super tough! (quite too numerous to be precise :D)

Boss Rush by Nick Weihs 2014-12-16T06:56:00

Excellent game! Really loved the sound effects and the controls. The boss weren't easy to take down, but it was more or less fair when I lost. I kept playing until I beat them all (thank god we restart at the latest boss :)).
Good job!!

20 Days at Sea by bitserum 2014-12-10T02:40:00

Wow, really beautiful! It was surprisingly not too hard to survive in the first few days. The gameplay is not obvious but really simple once you understand the way it works.
My favorite part about this game remain the global atmosphere combined with nice graphics & music.

Excellent game :)

Eggogatchi by sebasRez 2014-12-11T17:45:00

It's cute and fun... loved it! I wish there was a way to speed up the egg collection process... (or if there's one, maybe sooner?).
Good job!

One life hero by komjaur 2014-12-10T01:02:00

Simple and efficient! I really enjoyed it!
It's umbelievable how long this game is given the fact it only fits on... one screen.
Good job!

Gratification Crisis by zorfmorf 2014-12-10T03:16:00

Breaking the 4th wall! Loved it :)

Refresh by MrTedders 2014-12-08T08:36:00

Amazing concept which perfectly fits the theme...
Too bad for the lack of time (I understand why you withdrew from Music).
I got more or less stuck at the level with the hero stuck in a tunnel and jumping bunnies above, maybe that was also the end of the game?

Finished or not, this game deserves a good grade!

Panic Course by Thommy 2014-12-10T00:46:00

What a great idea! Also <3 the voxels.
My complains:
- The game is clearly un-balanced (or at least, most newbies like me are getting trashed on enemy #3).
- The fact you can move the camera kind of defeat the point, but how would we admire our beautiful ship otherwise?
- Maybe the UI could be slightly improved, but given the timeframe that's honestly cosmetic.

Great job!

Summoning of the Santa by Slothmachine 2014-12-11T17:05:00

Not sure if I'm happy to have summoned Santa!!
Really cool game, loved the atmosphere & animations.

Hauler 31 by benmcnelly 2014-12-16T07:19:00

Gosh for a second I thought this game was gonna be a screamer when I heard the guy doing the phone call part... who sounded REALLY LIKE the guy from 5 nights at Freddy's....
Bonus points for all the jibber jabber :P

Last Zombie Defense by Zekronz 2014-12-08T08:17:00

Nice little game. I liked the number of available weapons, the extra effort on the graphics (particles, etc.) and the behavior of some of the zombies who keep moving while attacking the boxes (that's pretty stressful!).

Contact Cowboy by jrap 2014-12-08T08:10:00

That's pretty sweet! It reminded me of SpyParty, but 2D version :)

Penguin Savior by Samuel Arminana 2014-12-11T17:16:00

Cool little games with nice graphics! Whoever is moving in the background disturbed me every single time... bonus points for the mood :)

Disco Kitty Nightmare by Alendro 2014-12-11T17:31:00

Wow that was so hard... but who cares cause' DISCO KITTY!

Fido, Fiona & Fidel by pjimmy 2014-12-16T07:27:00

This was really hard!!
But I loved the concept, really creative :)
I'm still not sure I cracked the way the cat & dog give hints, but I eventually made it to the end B)

NO AMMO NO ARMOUR NO SIGNAL by Farfin 2014-12-16T06:44:00

That game is really addictive! The concept is simple and make the gameplay hard & interesting.
Bonus point for the music too :)

Survive by Javabot 2014-12-09T02:50:00

The controls were a bit confusing (I believe the click is a bit glitchy).

When the game started, it was fun to see everything happen so fast. I wished I could build more blocks while the game runs!

Lastly, there seems to be a bug where the game doesn't stop once you got hit by a monster. Eventually, I got endless popups telling me that I had survived a bit longer :D

Good job for doing all of that on your own :)

DisChord by Grindstorm 2014-12-11T18:24:00

Not only this is a good puzzle game, but it's also designed towards this "zen" yoga-ish atmosphere referring to the ying & yang (notably the lazers that reminded me of monks mediating).
Excellent job!

Sanic Sokoban by terrytheplatypus 2014-12-08T19:33:00

5 star for the music

I Am Technician by Murchurl 2014-12-11T17:25:00

Pretty hard to play this game with a touchpad!!
It was still pretty funny and I had fun throwing everything in the air... oh and also sometimes attempting to fix the computer... :)

Office Gaming Inception by AMS 2014-12-11T17:51:00

Excellent game. It was honestly really funny and it breaks the fourth wall twice!
One of the best LD31 game I've played so far :)

Teeny Tiny Little Ball by FerraWare 2014-12-08T08:45:00

At first I was a bit skeptical, but it turned out to be really fun to play!
It's also quite original and the dialogs cracked me a few times :)
Cool little game (y)

Open Market by wongcito 2014-12-10T00:33:00

Though the idea is pretty good, it was pretty hard to play the game. A few issues:
- Resolution way too big (I had to scroll to see where I was going)
- Hard to understand what you are supposed to do: I randomly pressed space all over the place before realizing where I was supposed to get the provision
- The guards see you really easily, that's maybe a collision issue

Overall, I liked the music & character design :)

Centipede by RetributionStudios 2014-12-11T16:53:00

Good start for a beginner!
- Hero ship controls
- Enemy generation
- Title Screen & Main game
- Music
Nice!
Next time I would recommend introducing some variation in the gameplay that make the game a bit more challenging (and therefore fun!) since right now you just need to keep pressing the shoot button to win :D

Escape Character by Zi 2014-12-10T02:52:00

Not sure what to say. this game really blew my mind by its simplicity... yet it was really clever (and good!).
You sir (mam?) get some five stars :)

One Killer - One Window by Thalia 2014-12-09T02:39:00

That was brilliant. Really hard though. Great use of the theme!

Kiwi by fierysquirrel 2014-12-08T08:50:00

I love the design of the kiwi :3
Concerning the game, it's quite hard to score, but it's still totally enjoyable. Good job for the music too!

One Screen by yosh 2014-12-16T07:11:00

Thanks for the feedback!
- "What does spacebar do?" -> That was supposed to be removed from the final game 0:-)
- "Remove the redundancy" -> I just updated the current version of the game which removes some redundancy. However, it's part of the story-telling / experience. On second thought, it might have been a design error on my side, judging by all the frustrated people :D
Ideally, I'll find the time to elaborate on this design choice later in some post-mortem post.

Thanks to all of you again for playing.

One Screen by yosh 2014-12-16T23:13:00

@elvaq: The choice of the platformer was actually a "last-minute" choice. I originally planned on doing a way simpler game such as a top-view maze with 8 directions. However, in order to make the game a bit more challenging and longer, I opted for the platformer (which introduces many imprecisions in the gameplay). Maybe a simple spaceshooter could have been interesting too.
