LD22 — Alone

Leave my Lettuce Alone :( by NeiloGD 2011-12-19T09:32:00

Game ran great on my Windows 7 machine. The gameplay mechanics are interesting, although I had a hard time figuring out how exactly to win the stage! Great entry man, I love it :D

Afrocity Atrocity by Sos 2011-12-19T06:42:00

Couldn't rate the AUDIO yet, I'll be back with a rating for it as soon as I play it on another computer! Funny funny game Sos :D

Afrocity Atrocity by Sos 2011-12-19T08:42:00

Back with the AUDIO rate! Awesome Sos, loved the funny-afro theme and the physics!

The Breakup by shiftingParadigms 2011-12-19T08:10:00

The intro sequence is way to slow! I like the idea, but the game is also extremely short! A bit more puzzles would have been better, but it's ok! :D I like it!

The Lonely Electron by spiral 2011-12-19T09:46:00

Loved it! To bad it's so short :(

Alone in the clouds by Cowbox 2011-12-19T08:43:00

Hi Cowbox, great to see a TCG member on LD! Trying out your game, now!

Alone in the clouds by Cowbox 2011-12-19T12:52:00

Would you believe what gave you out was the Window Border? While downloading the game, I took a look at the screenshots and went like: "I've seen a TGC member always using that Windows Theme". Then I saw soharix name and instantly said TGC!

Cyber Shield by zapaman 2011-12-19T11:45:00

I'd recommend everyone to focus on the "Asian" mode for the full mechanics and functionality (bullet recoil FTW).

Cyber Shield by zapaman 2011-12-27T18:32:00

@sirius_black9999: The ESC problem appeared in the last minute when I kinda messed up the Menu Code, so I took out the back to menu feature after wining/losing a game. The getting killed through the shield bug is fixed now, but I did way to many changes to update it! Thanks for playing the game :)

Cyber Shield by zapaman 2012-01-01T18:35:00

@EatThePath No bullets bouncing? Could you add more details? Didn't they bounce of the player's shield? (Space to activate it), or off the walls?

Cyber Shield by zapaman 2012-01-04T09:38:00

@Raptor85 what does the error say? Do you have DirectX 9.0c installed?

@Caranha: Yeah, sound is something I didn't manage to do. The Zoom in, zoom out idea is good though.

Forever alone Simulator 2012 by King_Pancake 2011-12-17T21:34:00

... really? :/

LD24 — Evolution

Dinosaur Survival Bash!! by Orni 2012-08-27T09:04:00

Extremely cute and fun!

Battle Arena Evolution! by Markavian 2012-08-27T11:15:00

Loved the feedback from my punches, how the enemies were knocked back and had that "omg not in the face" expression! Awesome!

GeneRogue by ghoulsblade 2012-08-27T11:33:00

As @Nek said, it has potential to get extremely awesome with more work! Liking it! Also, WebPlayer FTW!

SURVIVE by Ragzouken 2012-08-27T08:41:00

One of the best entries played so far! I actually love it! Congrats!

Evolution: A Parallel Narrative by Ali Sajid Imami 2012-08-27T09:42:00

The game get's stuck when I have to choose between:
-Time Lords
- Biological Evolution
Can't progress any further!

Move the Cheese by aschearer 2012-08-27T10:57:00

Simple but hard to stratergize the movements! A few sounds and some color can turn this into a neat little game. It lagged a little for me, but this is because it was played under a virtualized W7!

My Apartment by SpectreNectar 2012-08-27T11:01:00

4900 score! And Mom was invisible! Still, fun concept, making a game for ludumdare about making a game for Ludum Dare! Ludumception? :)

Bit-Craft Evolution by eyehawk 2012-08-27T09:13:00

Quite nice! Was off to a rough start, until the green balls that were dodging my aim appeared! Turned out to be quite fun after that! Congrats :D

An Astronomical Affray by reheated 2012-08-27T09:31:00

Barely works with wine for me! Crashes two-three minutes into the game! Gonna give it a few more tries to give a more accurate rating!

An Astronomical Affray by reheated 2012-08-27T09:38:00

Ok, got it to work!

Super Genome: Hyper Evolution Turbo Edition by Raptor85 2012-08-27T08:27:00

Couldn't not start the Linux Version (no output in the terminal) but the windows one worked quite well with wine! Interesting and funny game :)!

Genetics-Pop by zapaman 2012-08-27T09:00:00

@Andrei Barsan: Key 1(number 1 on the keyboard) for Red Cell, 2 for blue! Scrolling is a good idea! Also, Right Click = drop bombs, when you have enough points!

@Ragzouken, fr_automatik: Thanky :D

Genetics-Pop by zapaman 2012-08-27T12:51:00

@Ninjakannon: You loose when the timer runs out or when there are too many un-mutated cells on the screen ('bout 30-34 on the first few levels). I should have added the reason why you lost the game! And yes, I know about the 3 lines on the edges.. sadly I said I would fix it in the end, but it slipped my mind until I submitted the game! Will fix post-compo! Hope you enjoyed it!

Genetics-Pop by zapaman 2012-08-27T14:17:00

@JokerDen? What did I do in 48h or did I do make it in 48?

Genetics-Pop by zapaman 2012-08-29T13:04:00

creative630: Thanks, yeah, I forgot to fix that bug of unregistered groups on the sides! You can use bombs to destroy them though!

Genetics-Pop by zapaman 2012-08-29T16:12:00

Bukt: Windows, Linux or Web?

Angry Fish by munchor 2012-08-27T11:05:00

My tactic: Stay small, allot easier to sneak and swim through the upper side! Loved the way the other fishes turned Berserk when they noticed me!

Digital Generation by Dietrich Epp 2012-08-27T08:33:00

It says Linux also, but I can't find any Linux binary! Tried wine, the game window comes up, but it remains black!

LD26 — Minimalism

Freedom by orangepascal 2013-04-29T07:54:00

I found my freedom! Also the cat, is ADORABLE!

Escape from the Tower by Luxorix 2013-04-29T08:27:00

Congrats on your first Ludumdare!

Mythical Bedtime Hero by 3-Bit 2013-04-28T22:50:00

Sword slashing is buggy. As jijaweb said, you get thrown in random places nearby. Got stuck behind the tree on the right of your house. I love the color scheme and sound effects! Please fix the sword issue.

, by OnionBlaze 2013-04-29T07:27:00

My fingers hate you! AQ AQ AQ AQ!

Minimal Interaction Warfare by zapaman 2013-04-29T08:09:00

Starting to work on the AI post-ludumdare. Will release an updated version with a post mortem on my blog www.bacioiuciprian.com . Thanks for playing guys.

Minimal Interaction Warfare by zapaman 2013-04-29T08:29:00

@myachin, @LrdKzrth: What OS's are you using? :)

Minimal Interaction Warfare by zapaman 2013-04-29T08:29:00

@karsyf: I could add a onetime mid-game pause which would allow you to re-send orders :)

Minimal Interaction Warfare by zapaman 2013-04-29T21:39:00

@Xellinus: You sure the smell doesn't come from your smexy bow-tie? :P

Minimal Interaction Warfare by zapaman 2013-04-30T16:14:00

Postmortem and updated version here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/04/30/miwarfare-postmorted-and-post-jam-version/

@karsyf: you can now re-issue orders during gameplay :)

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Cable Guy by Endurion 2014-08-25T06:36:00

Fun overall game, and great controls. The graphics are lacking a bit though. Still, will continue to play it during a work break, good job.

Connect with the Dirt by Larzan 2014-08-25T12:00:00

Graphics looks amazing and plays really well in my browser. The aesthetics remind me of a 2D cardboard printed game. Grats on finishing it o/

Planetary Replan by handCraftedRadio 2014-08-25T10:26:00

Played it with a co-worker! I like the idea and would love to see a single player version with AI. best of luck o/

Hell On Earth by CryoGenesis 2014-08-25T13:18:00

Finished it pretty fast. Got the pistol, almost ran out of ammo, but then I saw that ammo pretty much grows everywhere there. Was fun to play.

2D3DMAZE by boddiul 2014-08-25T11:12:00

Loved it. Great concept that fits the theme really well. It's a decently polished entry with few gripes. Congrats, I liked it.

Eiradirian Phasejumpers by blay09 2014-08-26T07:24:00

Lovely graphics indeed. Sadly, enemies would stack up on each other and I couldn't target who I wanted. Grats on the game o/

Planetarius by superjoe 2014-08-27T10:41:00

Found a player the first time i joined. Pretty fun, but the server "updates" are a tad slow (I could pass through the boundaries with ease most of the time). o/

H.O.C.M.A. by Techblogogy 2014-08-25T07:00:00

+1 for Linux version. 'Twas a bit to slow for my liking, but I got the hang of the puzzles.

Worldly Traveler by MrTedders 2014-08-25T06:28:00

Hard to understand what I was supposed to do at first. Loved the way his fit juggle on the floor :D

The Field by DrPrettyPatty 2014-08-25T11:49:00

Apart from the fact that the camera sometimes blocks your view to jumps, I cannot find anything wrong with this entry. It feels welcoming and friendly. Cheers o/

Connected Pylons by Pat AfterMoon 2014-08-25T11:24:00

Really interesting concept. I do love this one!

Match And Shoot by skymarionsky 2014-08-25T07:59:00

Would have loved it better to see the cannon rotate based on mouse movement, not mouse click. Also, HANDS, EYES, work as a team DAMN IT!

InterGalactic Mailman by lucienpro 2014-08-25T08:25:00

DAMN IT INTERGaLacTIC PEOPLE! MAIL UPLOAD IS WAY TO SLOW! :D

Impact by fallingBear 2014-08-25T14:38:00

Would have loved to see some impact effects on my ship. With so much happening on the screen it's hard to notice when I get damaged :(

Connecting Worlds. by Damian Schloter 2014-08-27T09:05:00

Loved it! Both the art style and the fact that you need to thrust in the opposite direction of your moving vector to stop!

Good News Delivery Co. by DragonXVI 2014-08-25T12:33:00

Any chance of getting a timeless version so I can dodge and make pirates crash into the sun for ever and ever and ever and eveeerr? Loved the way the ship controlled o/

Space Trader by Kyari 2014-08-27T10:50:00

As x1212 said, the travel animation takes too long :). I like the idea though, and the fact that AGS was used for this. Grats o/

IRMCO Space Miners by Josh H 2014-08-25T14:27:00

Being a space nut myself I'm always looking for strategy games set outside our world. The fact that this game is slow paced and works in the browser is a *deity*-send for me. Great submission, I love it!

Protect Both Worlds by Perjoka 2014-08-25T07:54:00

Took a few tries till I nailed my coordination! I likes it, I likes it!

Node 54 by silentlamb 2014-08-25T11:06:00

For some reason I got used to the inverted controls faster then I expected. My only beef with the game is that the player's sprite does not face the direction it's moving towards. Good job o/

Connected Islands by klusi0 2014-08-26T13:19:00

Islands looking really well! Also, Arrrrrr, that ship be plundering all in it's way! Awast ya swabs and give this man some ratings!

HEAL by Stepwise 2014-08-27T07:45:00

Loved the idea and the character art.

You Are Bactera by w84death 2014-08-25T13:08:00

Highest score in inovation I gave during this LD!

Inbetween Lands of Grass by From Smiling 2014-08-25T07:32:00

Graphics look sweet as hell. Well done for your first Ludumdare, well done indeed.

Annex Kharon by headchant 2014-08-25T06:54:00

My favorite game so far! Actually loving the shait out of it! Please release a post-compo version on itch, I'd love to buy it.

Benn's Adventure by sorceress 2014-08-27T14:17:00

Ha, I swam in the water with no breathing aparaturs! Also, how do I get passed the two guys on the cartdrige level (brunette and the bald guy)?

Spayce! by torcado 2014-08-27T08:43:00

Lovely concept and graphics!

Copulus by zapaman 2014-08-25T10:45:00

@Kuupu: it's a simple 'algorithm'. Create a map that's all water. Then, take 3 passes over it.

First Pass:
- select a random tile on the map
- move around the tile in a clock wise rotation (spiral) and mark random tiles in your path as grass tiles
- the more grass neighbors a tile has, the more chances to become a grass tile
- repeat this process <mapWidth/2> times

Second Pass:
- loop through the entire map again and check for single grass tiles (separated from the land-mass)
- remove all (or mostly all) stray grass tiles

Third Pass:
- loop through the map and place trees and mountains on grass regions that have grass neighbors. Bonus points if you can center the trees/bushes around the center of an island
- finally, check to see if a grass tile has a water tile beneath it. If so, replace the water tile with a transition tile between grass and water.

There are a few more in-depth articles that cover a similar usage if you search for island procedural generation on google.

How did I end up here? by rogual 2014-08-25T12:27:00

I got the knife, i knifed the blobs, dodged the flower as much as I could, avoided the pinky aliens that were trying to pidgeon-poop-bomb me annnnddddddd I had no idea what to do at the rocket. Although props or the sweet floor in the castle, that looked sweet! I must give this game another try when drunk o/

Parallel Horizons by kebabskal 2014-08-25T08:19:00

As Lars said, the visuals are incredible! Loved the environment usage in creating the puzzles. Really, really ,really good job.

Race to Colonisation by matthewj234 2014-08-25T07:40:00

Well, Initially I had no idea what to do, since I went straight up as i started and meet no planets in my way. Ended up building a route and purchasing a few planets. Didn't win yet.
