LD49 — Unstable (41)

Tunnel Taupe by inkedsplat 2021-10-21T16:57:25Z ♥ 0

Love it! Amazing art, really neat mechanics. Make this into a full game and I will buy it.

I did find one crash, see https://i.imgur.com/potL0fu.png

Things We Left Behind by Cubanfrog 2021-10-21T16:25:42Z ♥ 1

It's really good - like an ecological version of Polytopia. Only problem I had was that I ran out of things I could do while still having actions available, and couldn't figure out a way to skip the remaining actions.

Flat Earth Balancer by KreGames 2021-10-10T12:32:34Z ♥ 1

It's a cool concept, but I found it very easy. You just make symmetrical patterns. Also, the flat world goes from stable to very unstable very quickly.

The Alignment Problem by cireneikual222464 2021-10-04T17:50:20Z ♥ 0

I'm afraid the link doesn't work. Have you set the game to be public on itch?

Unstable minds by Tokjos 2021-10-04T17:48:54Z ♥ 0

I really like the spooky atmosphere! Is there some way to reset it so I can play it through again? You may also like my game, which is of a similar nature.

Cat Connect by Zhanna 2021-10-04T17:32:02Z ♥ 3

Hi! Your game looks cute but you haven't added any downloads or links, so I can't play it!

Floor Falls by Toomblercazz 2021-10-04T17:25:06Z ♥ 1

Very nice! Easily understandable, hard to figure out.

Crumble by EvokeSoul 2021-10-04T17:16:41Z ♥ 1

Same for me, the game loading process stops at about 90%. There's a bunch of games this LD that have this problem.

Unscrambler by Antti Haavikko 2021-10-04T17:15:01Z ♥ 0

This is cool but man is it hard!

Weak Signal by Papercypress 2021-10-04T17:08:55Z ♥ 1

Really fun idea. I didn't get very far. πŸ˜…

Ludens Fortuna by deniskazantsev 2021-10-04T11:35:48Z ♥ 1

This is a really cool and tricky game. Probably my fave so far.

Unstable Isotopes by Marcos Donnantuoni 2021-10-04T10:30:09Z ♥ 1

I was not good at solving the puzzles, but the concept and execution are really nice.

You won't believe your result from this personality test! by Mikhail Rudoy 2021-10-04T10:26:29Z ♥ 3

I am highly amused at you using an online quiz creator as a game engine. Well done!

The Un-Stable Ranger by DaSpikeyBoss 2021-10-04T10:24:01Z ♥ 0

The controls are quite wobbly because you turn so fast, but I guess that's all part of being the un-stable ranger?

Hell's Dishes by mikouaji 2021-10-04T10:13:50Z ♥ 3

I managed to collect one whole plate! I don't think I'm cut out to be a waiter.

Threadships by Mavvy 2021-10-04T10:09:32Z ♥ 1

It's cute, but yes, the combat is very hard!

The Eye of Glower-On by UkuleleFury 2021-10-04T10:00:14Z ♥ 1

Nassty bobbitses. This was fun, though the boulders felt pretty ineffective.

Path of the Pogo by Human Writes Code 2021-10-04T09:54:39Z ♥ 3

I love the way the guy automatically becomes a casket when he dies.

Ice cube in a melting pot by Bentekiller 2021-10-04T09:52:12Z ♥ 0

Loading the web version stalls at about 90% for me.

GONZO ALCHEMY! by kristinamay 2021-10-04T09:50:53Z ♥ 0

Funny, and lovely graphics, but the controls are mystifying, sorry.

The Alchemyst by zedutchgandalf 2021-10-04T09:47:56Z ♥ 0

I stirred the pot, then upgraded to a bigger pot, and the pot stopped making potions, so I don't know how to proceed, sorry.

Wobbly Explorer by SlavTurtle 2021-10-04T09:45:00Z ♥ 1

It's like drunk mouse-based QWOP!

Unstable Roads by Slowpoke 2021-10-04T09:39:31Z ♥ 1

I was a bit confused by the instructions, because you actually have to select what you want to build, which wasn't obvious from the instructions. Once I understood that, I really enjoyed it.

Volatile Waters by Likirus 2021-10-04T09:27:46Z ♥ 2

Well, that was stressful *and* depressing. That's not a bad thing, mind you.

Love will Prevail by lesinvisible 2021-10-04T09:23:05Z ♥ 4

I tend to be pretty skeptical of games about mental illness. While I don't know whether the portrayal of schizophrenia in this game is accurate, I do think that it comes from a place of kindness and respect. And the game is beautiful.

Francky's Hell by S1L3nCe 2021-10-04T09:15:20Z ♥ 0

Same, I think the control mapping got messed up. Instead of normal WASD controls, W does nothing, ASD do the expected things, and Q also does "rotate left" for some reason.

Newcomen Atmospheric Engine by axelrinaldo 2021-10-04T09:01:11Z ♥ 1

Amusingly, I just read the wikipedia article about this engine the other day, so I knew how to operate it. Looking forward to the Watt Engine sequel. πŸ˜„

Unstable Society by Glaikunt 2021-10-04T08:51:28Z ♥ 2

Tixerb means Tixerb!

Plains In The Sky by TevasLiutauras 2021-10-04T08:47:42Z ♥ 1

Cute graphics, innovative puzzling, silly level names. I really like it!

Defence Extraction by Random Ideation Studios 2021-10-04T08:44:08Z ♥ 2

Metallurgical keepy-uppy! This was really fun to play!

That stable looks pretty unstable by pcmaster 2021-10-04T08:39:52Z ♥ 2

Wonderfully ridiculous. Excellent super-realistic horse animations.

Kattonauten by Elastic 2021-10-04T08:36:24Z ♥ 1

It's very cute. Note that on QWERTZ keyboards, Z and X are nowhere near each other, which makes the controls a lot harder!

Last Fall by Maus Games 2021-10-04T08:33:54Z ♥ 1

This is a really neat game, and it does a great job of quickly introducing the player into its mechanics without having an explicit tutorial. I'm also terrible at it, but that's my problem.

Harry by Owl_Skip 2021-10-04T08:30:13Z ♥ 0

I'm sorry, but the slowness of the text, with no way to speed it up, made the whole thing intensely frustrating to me. I'm a fast reader, and so I kept on being distracted from the narrative by the frustration of having to wait for the text to come up very... slowly...

You ask for responsible reviews, by which I guess you mean that you'd like reviewers to properly play through the game before reviewing. And I'm sorry, I can't.

Interpun by Moomka 2021-10-04T08:22:04Z ♥ 0

Excellent evidence destruction simulator.

Uns-Table by EvoGenGames 2021-10-04T06:46:24Z ♥ 1

I managed 199 on the first try. The way that you keep overshooting the balance is highly entertaining.

ecosystem except there is no equilibrium and everyone dies probably by parafactual 2021-10-04T06:43:43Z ♥ 2

This is such a cool concept and such a frustrating execution!

Unstababel by ubershmekel 2021-10-04T06:36:22Z ♥ 2

I found it really fiddly. I don't understand what the zig-zag between the cursor and items you're manipulating is meant to be. A spring?

Unstable Cubes by Lenan 2021-10-04T06:32:49Z ♥ 1

Really nice mechanic, though I found myself impatient for the jump ability to reset.

Tama Town by MaggardJosh 2021-10-04T06:27:07Z ♥ 1

I thought I would hate the controls, but they're actually really fun.

the adventures of catboy in blobtopia by izaak 2021-10-04T06:22:38Z ♥ 2

Note I had to install the libopengl0 package on my Linux Mint machine to get it to work.

LD44 — Your life is currency (17)

MeltUP by caeonosphere 2019-05-01T08:35:58Z ♥ 2

Quick note, before I actually play the game properly: X and Z as keys works really badly for people with a QWERTZ keyboard layout.

ο½‰ο½Žο½–ο½…ο½’ο½”ο½…ο½‚ο½’ο½ο½… by jjjjason 2019-05-01T08:32:56Z ♥ 1

This is great. Reminds me of https://www.letters-game.com/ but creepy rather than cute.

Dadiator by Ametentia 2019-05-01T08:13:44Z ♥ 0

Problems with the Linux version:

* The download is actually a zip file but has the extension .tar.gz. * Missing shared library: libcsfml-audio.so.2.5, maybe others.

Attack on Jerry by unplugred 2019-05-01T07:44:49Z ♥ 3

Wonderfully weird graphics, I love it. One bug I noticed: if you click on an organ button and the space underneath the button is a valid placement location, it gets placed there immediately.

Blood Debt by FriedYeti 2019-04-30T17:13:08Z ♥ 0

This is really my kind of game, but I have to agree with others that things were hard to understand sometimes. What do the icons mean? What causes defeat? What's the number in the bottom right after the slash? What's the progress bar at the bottom?

Biomass by Jobus 2019-04-30T16:44:26Z ♥ 1

Very beautiful. Reminds me a bit of my LD40 game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/earth-blossom - but yours has much better graphics.

SHROUD (Synthetic Human, Radiation OUtput Determined) by thevinter 2019-04-30T11:43:03Z ♥ 2

This is cool, but here's an issue: the moment you sell your eye, the resulting vignette makes it impossible to click on the consumables in the top right.

The passion of a peasant by Atomic 2019-04-30T11:36:38Z ♥ 0

Really neat graphical style. I did get stuck and inevitably killed in the 3rd level.

Killing in the name of... by sver 2019-04-30T11:27:36Z ♥ 3

The animation of all the little people grabbing their victim and throwing them into the volcano is amazing. Good music too.

Zoltan's Idea by Fanu 2019-04-30T11:04:21Z ♥ 4

This is weird and adorable. The animations are great. I couldn't figure out how to score at the carpet minigame though.

Limberman by krasse 2019-04-30T10:46:47Z ♥ 5

I love the creepy art style. What are you, some kind of armadillo-elephant-person?

Bloodcoin by Persegan 2019-04-30T10:42:40Z ♥ 4

Technically nice, but because I'm on a laptop, right click to aim is nigh on impossible.

The Abyss by AXLplosion 2019-04-30T10:35:58Z ♥ 1

Very visually stylish.

Mayan Mayhem by Arcus 2019-04-30T10:31:48Z ♥ 0

I was basically unable to ever move sideways without jumping, which made it super-frustrating, sorry.

Welcome To The Machine by smuhlaci 2019-04-30T10:28:59Z ♥ 2

I want to like it more than I do - the very slow text in conversations makes me not want to play - but it's a cool game with a nice aesthetic.

Splitter Cells by Gunnbju 2019-04-30T10:21:31Z ♥ 4

Really cool. Beautiful, consistent graphics and sound. I found the way you attack a bit confusing/unreliable, but apart from that it's great.

Cash Clash by tomatenbrei 2019-04-30T10:14:09Z ♥ 0

It's like an economist's fever dream. πŸ˜„

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (1)

Sunset Empire by Aggrathon 2018-12-08T20:13:36Z ♥ 1

Note that restarting the game seems to be broken? Time doesn't advance.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (12)

Dungeon Drifter -- A roguelike racing game by Triceraptodactyl 2018-05-01T10:16:41Z ♥ 1

I theoretically like it, but the instant death does mean I got frustrated and never really saw much of the game. The aesthetics are great though!

Mayor Metal Man by randomphantom 2018-05-01T10:10:16Z ♥ 1

This is my favorite mayoral home invasion simulator! Er, I mean. I really like both the concept and execution. Alternating between the city planning and FPS sides is nice, and I can see that longer-term there'd be some interesting synergies. Basically, so far this is the one game I've seen where I'd buy a full post-jam version.

Oh, and I just noticed it's a compo game. That's additionally impressive.

Pilgrimage by Kevar 2018-05-01T09:56:17Z ♥ 0

You do need to include the data directory etc with the Linux download for it to work.

Grantchester Meadows by Laguna 2018-04-30T07:37:03Z ♥ 2

This was really fun to play. Simple, but well-made. I liked the music too.

Orcs Must JAM! by AfroAnt 2018-04-30T07:30:36Z ♥ 2

This is really cute, but it's super-confusing that your actions don't actually match the rhythm of the music.

TRPG Meets GAMES by ccglp 2018-04-23T15:27:07Z ♥ 1

This is a really fun idea, but the user interface for the main map was very hard to use. I think it's showing the previously selected unit instead of the currently selected unit, so you have to kind of hunt for the one you're actually moving.

mechROMANCER : a top down shooter dating sim about relationships by Useless 2018-04-23T13:38:09Z ♥ 1

This was *hard*, but it's a neat concept. What do you do if you don't like your mech tho?

ΒΆCity by Sophie 2018-04-23T13:33:44Z ♥ 0

This is a pretty satisfying hybrid. I feel that I need to spend a lot more time diving into it than I have right now, though.

Nightmare Clicker by Merotar 2018-04-23T13:20:21Z ♥ 1

This was really fun and satisfying! I would've played it longer but I need to not destroy my hands! One problem(?) I noticed was that all the monsters dropped negative amounts of gold.

Arbour by literallyjosh 2018-04-23T12:20:07Z ♥ 1

That was very atmospheric, thank you! It took me a moment to figure out how to get the fishing to work, but then it was smooth.

(S)Word Forge by Persijn 2018-04-23T12:07:51Z ♥ 1

I really like the idea of mapping harder to spell equipment to more powerful equipment. There's a fun core of an idea here.

Tales from Avanor by theviraldragon 2018-04-23T12:01:04Z ♥ 0

This is very pretty. Reminds me of A Dark Room. Main issue I had that it was hard to figure out what the food balance was doing.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is (12)

Sum of Its Parts by mrjoshuamclean 2017-12-12T09:25:28Z ♥ 0

It's a neat concept. Like JorgeGameDev, I found the ship hard to control even in its folded state, and the tiny time window to escape into the next room quite punishing.

Zealot by fasterthanlime 2017-12-05T15:41:43Z ♥ 0

I'm sorry. This is beautiful, but I find it completely incomprehensible how cards are triggered.

Property In-spectre by Tad 2017-12-05T09:11:41Z ♥ 3

This is a really cool concept, and nicely executed, too. One thing I would change is to get rid of the initial scene where you can see where the ghosts go, and instead just show subtle hints of which objects are haunted. Because right now, it's mostly a question of memorizing where you saw the ghosts go.

Complicity Inc. by rhythmlynx 2017-12-04T11:18:18Z ♥ 0

It's a cool game, but sadly drag and drop was quite unreliable.

Patient Zero by btwj 2017-12-04T11:11:04Z ♥ 1

Really nicely made, and surprisingly thrilling for a game about clicking on circles.

Steam Paralysis by Nammflow 2017-12-04T11:03:46Z ♥ 1

This is entirely realistic and accurate. 😁

Sunken by Tay 2017-12-04T10:58:42Z ♥ 1

Really nice pixel art, and great atmosphere. Main complaint: the levels often put you into situations where you need to fight your way through an impossible to defeat set of enemies to get to the ladder.

Dense Revolve by fiaKaiera 2017-12-04T10:42:50Z ♥ 2

Works fine on Chrome on Linux. Nice entry - good take on the topic, and I like the graphical style. One annoying request: use XC instead of ZX for the buttons - Z is nowhere near X on a QWERTZ keyboard.

Curse of Greed by Sophie Houlden 2017-12-04T10:35:32Z ♥ 0

Very juicy, nice bleepy sounds. I found the wall-jumping controls a bit weird somehow, but that may just be my lack of experience with this type of game.

Suggested alternate names:

* Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Initial Coin Offering * $$$$$$

Cardhoard by HacksawUnit 2017-12-04T10:30:58Z ♥ 2

Lovely art, but I didn't really understand what I was meant to be doing apart from dodging the boxes. I did the best by just spamming L and K randomly...

The lost strawberry by egordorichev 2017-12-04T10:27:41Z ♥ 2

It's lovely, but I found the controls really fiddly. In the first screen, every time I tried to catch the second rope, I'd overshoot.

Dungeon Hoard by MRUniverse 2017-12-04T10:23:33Z ♥ 1

I really like the animation of the little goblins walking away with the giant coins.

LD39 — Running out of Power (13)

SOMETHING IS WRONG. SOMETHING IS WRONG. SOMETHING IS WRONG. by Heather Flowers 2017-08-03T18:52:50Z ♥ 1

Very cool. The controls for looking around were super-sensitive for some reason, but it kind of added something to the fragile feeling of the experience. :P

Back Home by Angry Squirrels 2017-08-03T12:55:04Z ♥ 0

Very pretty! I did get lost a lot though, and then the game reset my position?

Wasteland Survivor by sawtan 2017-08-03T12:51:28Z ♥ 1

I like the simple but evocative graphics, but I was not quite sure what the mechanics are meant to be.

The King's Saviour by drtizzle 2017-08-03T12:42:02Z ♥ 0

Really pretty, though I got irrevocably stuck at the first rock obstacle. And yeah, the RMB/LMB thing for the shooting is really hard to actually do controls-wise.

Tank Empty by JSMCAG 2017-08-03T12:39:21Z ♥ 1

It's probably good that I don't drive IRL. :D

Buzzy Bee by Estebe 2017-08-03T12:36:24Z ♥ 1

The bee cursor is adorable. :D

ROOP (Running Out Of Power) by Spetsdod 2017-08-03T12:28:19Z ♥ 1

Nicely executed game. I like the cruelty of the power-ups being shootable. :D

The Last Light by Loktor 2017-08-03T12:25:19Z ♥ 1

Really nice atmosphere! I managed 207 seconds.

Battery Escape !!! by EggshellDog 2017-08-03T12:14:48Z ♥ 1

It's a cool mechanic, but I found it really hard. I tend to get stuck off to one side and unable to dash any amount of distance.

Drone Supervisor by Jimbly 2017-08-03T12:11:11Z ♥ 1

This is brilliant. It's a really well-executed programming / economics game. Having to balance short-term income and investment is really neat.

Tycoon by dob 2017-08-03T12:01:04Z ♥ 1

I think it's a really cool mechanic. It wasn't quite clear to me to what degree popping one cube would set off adjacent ones, and it took me a moment to realize how to actually collect cubes, but once I had that figured out, I enjoyed it!

Wall Charger Addict by Dege 2017-08-01T13:57:59Z ♥ 1

I won, eventually! I did find it weirdly hard to visually distinguish between areas that were passable and areas that were not.

Blackout Defense by Jacky2611 2017-08-01T13:51:23Z ♥ 2

I was able to move around, mine, and place buildings, but I could not really figure out what any of the buildings were meant to do.

LD38 — A Small World (29)

Hopeless Void by Swynfel 2017-05-20T11:31:54Z ♥ 2

I tried to play it on Linux, but I get the following error message, sorry:

Player data archive not found at `/home/zar/Desktop/HopelessVoid_linux/HopelessVoid_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem

Tableworld. by Gunschlinger 2017-05-20T08:15:52Z ♥ 0

It's cute, but there's really confusing bits. I had a house flanked by two wells complaining it was out of water. The game also kept on building stuff over things I already placed? Or is it that wells run out of water? That's not really how wells work.

Live or DIE! by jondalnas 2017-05-20T07:50:21Z ♥ 1

That's a sweet little Dorflike. (Dwarf Fortress like)

Encircle by jminor 2017-05-20T07:39:01Z ♥ 0

The graphics look really cool, but the gameplay is really confusing. Most of the time, no bullet came out of my gun, so I just sort of recoiled myself into the enemies trying to kill them like that.

A World in a Shoebox... by Articulated9 2017-05-20T07:33:13Z ♥ 0

It's cute! I like the way the dash looks and works. Note that with non-English keyboards, Z and X are very far away from each other...

Symbios by drestuff 2017-05-03T10:21:21Z ♥ 1

Very pretty, and a good take on the topic. I found it very tiring on my hands and basically impossible to keep them separated at all though.

Troll Castle by berkano 2017-05-03T10:17:54Z ♥ 1

This is pretty adorable, and I like the zany graphics. Only thing is I was never able to find out which trolls were hungry, and so there was... some starvation before I finished the castle.

420 Planets by Kakureta 2017-05-03T10:09:05Z ♥ 1

Quite entertainingly weird, and the strange alien worlds + planet rotating below you thing works well. One complaint: the portal sound is too loud compared to the music. I was playing it with headphones, just about able to hear the music, and the portal sound was a shock.

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T10:02:52Z ♥ 1

Very impressive. Wasn't able to do multiplayer in the WebGL version though. It connected to the server and then just froze.

The Life Amoebic by Baby Dino Herd 2017-05-03T09:56:50Z ♥ 1

*bloop* This is a really cool concept, and I like the fact that you really have to enclose your food and not just touch it a bit. Reminds me a bit of Mushroom 11. Only thing I disliked is how you end up with very thin and jaggedly drawn amoeba protuberances.

Bamboo Life by candlesan 2017-05-03T09:47:22Z ♥ 1

This is a really lovely and fun clicker game. When I saw the 1000 bamboo goal, I thought "wait, that's far too much, I can't be bothered". Then I did it anyway, and had fun. I think this has a lot of potential, especially if you can get some cute and juicy sound effects. Only complaint is that sometimes the map didn't zoom out quite enough, leaving tiles underneath the buttons at the top or bottom.

E.(a)T. by BrothersT 2017-05-03T09:23:03Z ♥ 1

This is fun and works really well. The *bopp* sound when you kick an alien is very satisfying. Things that would be nice:

* being able to use space to interact - repeatedly hitting the control key is awkward * indication of what's going to happen when you interact - highlight the food that will be eaten or the aliens that will be kicked

Naarrow by Ace17 2017-05-01T18:52:17Z ♥ 1

I really like the music, but the controls are frustrating and unreliable. It's often not clear if something is not possible because it's intended not to be, or because the controls don't work well.

Yours by binaryferret 2017-05-01T18:17:01Z ♥ 1

This is very sweet and calm. My main request would be a maximum zoom level so I can look at them from close up without clipping through the planet.

SUN GOD by palemachine 2017-05-01T18:08:16Z ♥ 2

Great sound and graphics, nice general weirdness. Pretty hard, though. Two things: can you list the controls somewhere on the page? Also, is there any relevance to the direction you're pointing?

Down the Rabbit Hole by those-30-ninjas 2017-05-01T17:52:33Z ♥ 6

Neat mechanics, but one thing I don't understand is how your choice affects the opponent's access to the battlefield.

A Giant Hitch by GenericToast 2017-05-01T17:35:37Z ♥ 3

My favourite so far. Excellent comic timing, and the simplicity of the graphics works too. Polish in the right places in terms of the reaction of the environment to your actions.

Exit.. space left by HomineLudens 2017-05-01T17:01:05Z ♥ 1

Very atmospheric, and nice graphics too. My only complaint is that the mining laser is really frustrating to use. I often couldn't tell if I was making any progress in lasering gems.

Way Out by Mutfak Studios 2017-05-01T16:51:17Z ♥ 1

I like this one! It feels like a somewhat basic but very complete game, which is nice. The combat is hard, but that's not a bad thing.

Favourite bit: when you turn into a gravestone and your enemies continue to push you around. 😁

Eine Kleine Insektmusik by davidthelazar 2017-05-01T16:45:00Z ♥ 1

Like others, it reminds me of some kind of old cartoon scene. Having some kind of incentive for moving around more rather than finding a safe spot and moving as little as possible would be good.

Mind The Gap (First Ludum Dare) by Izunah 2017-05-01T16:41:39Z ♥ 1

I eventually got the hang of how it works. I like the unique mechanic, though it still feels quite awkward.

The Inner Lock by EveningWayward 2017-05-01T16:37:47Z ♥ 1

The mood was pretty good, but I found the sparkling so extreme that I was never able to get my bearings at all. I held down W a lot and could see that the sparkles vaguely moved with my cursor, but nothing really resolved. πŸ˜•

Polar Protector by AlexHoratio 2017-05-01T12:04:08Z ♥ 0

In a world... menaced by giant alien avocados...

Enceladus by mgoadric 2017-05-01T11:56:40Z ♥ 1

I found this really confusing, even after reading the explanation about playing back the previous moves. Got my two astronauts to the red tiles in level 2 and the game doesn't acknowledge it.

Mouse and Blade by superpokeunicorn 2017-05-01T11:51:39Z ♥ 1

A simple game, but really well put together. I especially like the little mouse avatar.

Holy Shit! A Spider !!! by Aurelien 2017-05-01T11:35:17Z ♥ 1

Best narration since The Stanley Parable, really. And yeah, why no audio category? I'd have given 5/5.

ATLANTIS by OccultOne 2017-05-01T11:29:17Z ♥ 3

Hmm, your download on itch.io appears to be Windows only despite being marked as Win/Mac/Linux. 😞

The New Kid by Saurabh 2017-05-01T11:10:24Z ♥ 1

This is definitely an interesting premise. There's various games about making friends and socializing of course - the Kudos series or any number of VNs spring to mind - but I like this abstract puzzle approach.

Theatre Throw-Down by Ratbag 2017-05-01T11:05:06Z ♥ 1

I lasted 5 battles. Some nice positioning and reaction stuff with dancing in and out of range or getting the opponents stuck behind things.

LD37 — One room (121)

Humanity Walks Into a Bar by Lipedal 2016-12-21T22:12:00

Adorable. I like that the boy and girl humans can have... eggs together too.

FIIL Mark 37 by martincohen 2016-12-21T22:05:00

Beautiful atmosphere, but I think I've played too many "take care of the needs of the person in this room" games already.

Don't Stop Me by breno 2016-12-21T21:57:00

Lovely graphics. Pretty hard, though.

Toy Wars by concalf 2016-12-21T21:51:00

Really pretty, and I liked the airspeed mechanic. Only complaint it's hard to tell what's an obstacle.

One Room...In Space! by rambauldi 2016-12-15T22:08:00

Hm, I powered up life support and still asphyxiated rapidly.

Steamjunk Racers Nine Thousand by mmason 2016-12-15T21:59:00

I really wasn't able to figure out the controls, I'm afraid. The guy seemed to mostly do whatever he wanted.

13 jellyfish by Four Quarters 2016-12-15T21:41:00

Lovely and adorable. Takes the crew management type gameplay of FTL and makes it much more straightforward and playable. And the animation of the crew jumping in and out is very fun.

Elevator Panic! by Wefiends 2016-12-15T21:29:00

I had fun playing the world's least safe elevator operator. As others have said, the lack of a loss condition is a bit odd.

The Man and The Whale by Stavu 2016-12-15T21:20:00

Lovely art and concept!

Almost Home by KairosXIII 2016-12-15T21:16:00

I like the move/shoot combo. Only frustration is when you get instakilled because you're next to a wall.

Admiral's Room by theholychicken 2016-12-15T21:06:00

Really cool art style. But the phasers, they do nothing! Do continue on this. :)

Arcane Incrementalist by deathray 2016-12-15T20:53:00

Cool aesthetic, but really slow even for a clicker/idle game. Also, usually this kind of game has multiple "currencies" / effects, whereas this is all very linear.

Conduction by superjai 2016-12-15T20:48:00

Excellent graphics. Took me a moment to realize repairing took energy, but it makes sense. Two-player's also cool.

Mechaxolotl Rampage by TeamAxolotl 2016-12-15T20:39:00

Amazing weird-ass graphics. I won't rate it because I'm running it under Wine and the controls don't work. :P

Freak Arena by Dexyne 2016-12-15T20:35:00

It has an unfinished look, but what is there looks promising.

Tangent by rxi 2016-12-15T20:33:00

Super-adorable, if emotionally difficult whenever kitty dies.

Ultimate Tavern Manager 2017 by ElisΓ©e and friends 2016-12-15T19:57:00

This is a really lovely game let down by the tiny hard to understand icons for customer preferences that flash up only for a moment. :(

Xenopunch by Pietro Ferrantelli 2016-12-15T19:48:00

Great graphical style. The aliens remind me a bit of French SF comics. :)

Plantolution by Testlab 2016-12-15T19:33:00

Getting the following error on Linux: "./Plantolution: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./Plantolution)"

Bob's Burgers by Zettelkasten 2016-12-15T19:30:00

Looks cool, but sadly my graphics card doesn't seem to support your shader. :(

Alien Cats Need a Place to Chill, Too! by madameberry 2016-12-14T19:10:00

This is ADORABLE

ROOM ZERO by dv49 2016-12-14T18:23:00

This is stylish, but also confusing.

Subway Taxi by ambi 2016-12-14T18:17:00

The cost of a human life is about the same as a full tank of gas. :D No, seriously, lovely graphics, cool game.

hoplitelite by Attrition 2016-12-14T18:07:00

I really like Hoplite, and I really liked this too. :D

Enter Sandman by Aliencargo 2016-12-14T18:01:00

/enter_sandman/app/gameContainer.js:16 Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode

Cubby Crypt by bigbadwofl 2016-12-14T17:59:00

Works well, though I have to say I just ignored the whole dungeon sim thing and played the placement puzzle.

Orbiomus Delta by Priweejt 2016-12-14T17:48:00

Surprisingly fun! I survived 100 seconds.

Elephant in "The Room" by xesenix 2016-12-14T17:45:00

Runs fine for me. Pretty weird.

A Single, Solitary Snail by SigmanZero 2016-12-14T17:31:00

This is weird and adorable.

Oval Office by Tim Ruswick 2016-12-14T17:22:00

An amusing game, though actions and consequences seem only to be loosely connected.

Room Fight by NeverAutomatic 2016-12-14T17:13:00

Really neat way of interpreting the theme, and cute little people. :D

Unbreakable Sally by Lesbroufe 2016-12-14T17:04:00

This looks like a really cool game, but space doesn't do anything. :(

Poco's Christmas Market by A Little Red Panda 2016-12-14T17:01:00

I'm getting a 404 not found for the itch.io page: https://alittleredpanda.itch.io/pocos-christmas-market You probably forgot to set it to publicly visible. :)

LiftOperator 2016 by panu 2016-12-14T17:00:00

Scored 139. Got better about using the elevator controls at the end.

Faucet by AlmightyTuna 2016-12-14T16:55:00

Very atmospheric!

Last Wights by JoeProgram 2016-12-14T16:49:00

Lovely art style, and a really nice game overall. My only complaint is that some of the ghost/candle sounds are very harsh and loud compared to the music.

Room is a Relative Term by qualia 2016-12-14T16:34:00

I'm finding the visuals really hard to understand on this one. It's kind of an information overload.

Poorot by Kurakurt 2016-12-14T16:28:00

I'm getting "Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode
index.html:93 Uncaught ReferenceError: cr_createRuntime is not defined" in Chrome.

Io: Tales of Recursion by nicklink483 2016-12-14T10:25:00

The idea sounds cool, but I am unable to exit the first room. :(

MAX by _beta 2016-12-14T10:21:00

Neat concept, quite tricky!

The Oval Office by Zener 2016-12-14T10:18:00

Awful Trumpesque pixel Reigns. :D

Digital Dojo by d3uced 2016-12-14T10:15:00

OK, that was so hard I just insta-died each time I tried it.

Waiting Room - The Game by NinjaPatBeck 2016-12-14T10:13:00

So on the one hand, this was really boring. On the other hand, that means it captured the waiting room experience pretty well!

Suk'innr's Shrine by nihilocrat 2016-12-14T10:11:00

Looks cool, but kind of repetitive, and the mouse look is too sensitive.

Room by insane66 2016-12-14T10:01:00

Loading the web version get stuck at the Connecting stage, sorry.

The Cold Cabin by Evgiz 2016-12-14T09:15:00

Amazing graphics, beautiful music. Haven't seen this type of 3D graphical style before, and I really like it. I'll have to study it...

Defend One Room by Fib 2016-12-14T09:07:00

I like the graphics and colour scheme. :)

Automatous Room Builders by Zee 2016-12-14T08:57:00

Good concept, gets very hard very quickly though.

Lit Room by justking14 2016-12-14T08:55:00

It took me a while to figure out which square was which thing, but once I got that, it was fun.

A Fox's Room by Pusty 2016-12-14T08:52:00

I'm failing to see how I can interact with anything, sorry! I'm just looking at stuff and nothing actually changes.

Domain by dobnarr 2016-12-14T08:47:00

That ended up being surprisingly strategically deep. Lebensraumtastic!

Guardian by NegInfinity 2016-12-14T08:41:00

Lovely art style, but the controls feel very clunky. And the red floating damage numbers don't really fit.

Thirsty Dino by Haunted Circus 2016-12-14T08:34:00

Left plenty of fossils in the ground for future paleantologists. :)

RemoteRanch by Tym17 2016-12-14T08:31:00

The control scheme for the robot is kind of frustrating and made my hand hurt.

Swap-a-Room by 01101101 2016-12-14T08:28:00

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well enough! Hope you feel better soon, and good luck with next LD. :)

Space Attack by laylow 2016-12-14T08:21:00

This is a really cool combination of inventory puzzling and fighting. Definitely one of my favorites.

Don't Break the Door by TacoTruckGames 2016-12-14T07:59:00

Simple but effective. My only complaint is that it can be a bit hard to see the shape of the path in some rotations.

rot by emmelineprufrock 2016-12-14T07:54:00

Brilliant, creepy writing.

BOSS ROOM by rogual 2016-12-14T07:27:00

Comes together very nicely. The way the room transforms is really satisfying.

Together by blaster391 2016-12-14T07:17:00

Nice puzzle game, felt pretty tame thought - maybe I just didn't play it for long enough?

The Coldest Cabin by Brian Mayberry 2016-12-14T07:09:00

It's not capturing the cursor properly for me, sorry. (Linux Mint)

Room for One by Miziziziz 2016-12-14T07:05:00

Really like the creepy minimalist monochrome graphics. Death seemed to be kind of random, though.

The Infinity Prison by Multiplexor 2016-12-14T06:59:00

Really neat! I like the freeing prisoners mechanic that adds something to the usual endless runner formula. And the rotation each time you get to a new section is also cool.

Before Nick Arrives by LimeniusTeam 2016-12-13T11:12:00

Great atmosphere and music.

Hitlers Cactus or only you can stop Trump by stupidmindlessf 2016-12-13T10:53:00

This was really amusing, though on my first play-through all my messing around changed nothing.

Little Lab of Horrors by TeamMonumental 2016-12-13T08:05:00

That was really fun. Such adorable monstrous plants!

Mr. Barbel VS Hell Vise by onixowl 2016-12-13T07:53:00

Nicely horrible control scheme. Pretty hard, though, didn't manage more than 2.5 levels.

Lost In The Dance by Lukeryn 2016-12-13T07:46:00

Really amazing graphics. I was wondering why the download was so huge, but this explains it. Unfortunately, I keep getting stuck and unable to move - next to the window, next to the changing table.

DangerRoom by hermetic 2016-12-13T07:27:00

Cool trippy graphics!

Escape The Room by egordorichev 2016-12-13T07:22:00

A nice rogue*like - good atmosphere and lighting.

Rhythm Rink by shillingburg 2016-12-12T21:09:00

Really fun and joyful. :D

Pressure by egoregor 2016-12-12T21:06:00

I am not sure what this is, but it does have some neat trippy visuals.

SkyCorridor by acotis 2016-12-12T20:57:00

Pretty good endless runner/puzzle type thingy. I liked the stick man animation.

Dark room by cushycode 2016-12-12T20:53:00

Kitty!

LeDoomDevil by nikitapash 2016-12-12T20:51:00

Very cool looking and good soundtrack. It does assume you have a pretty large screen!

Nightmares by Yami no tenshi 2016-12-12T20:48:00

Lovely art. I thought the bat things were friendly at first! Cute bat things! That bring cuddles!

Aperta Corporata by amras0000 2016-12-12T20:37:00

Impressive details and graphics. :)

Horde Room by Tutti Ankka 2016-12-12T18:31:00

I really like the sword animation. :)

1 Room and 48 Hours by meg 2016-12-12T18:27:00

I... like the fact that the hygiene need didn't actually need satisfying. :D (Worked fine on Windows 7 here BTW.)

Boomerang Boy by pixzleone 2016-12-12T18:24:00

Kind of confused what "saving" meant in the context of the green things. There mostly seemed to be different ways of killing them. But solid otherwise.

OneRoom by Danman9914 2016-12-12T18:20:00

Neat twist. It turns out that I have a really foul mouth when I talk to in-game bots, though.

Roomba Fight Club by JimmothySanchez 2016-12-12T18:10:00

Cute! The third roomba-related game I've seen.

Room One by Yamzho 2016-12-12T18:04:00

Lovely graphics! I also made a kind of hotel simulator, though I totally bent the theme and put in more than one room. But... one room per guest, right? :D

Santa Claus by victorcrafty 2016-12-12T17:58:00

I somehow did not expect the boss fight. I was all like "this isn't too hard", and then - bam - santa!

Trapped in one room by Kalinka 2016-12-12T17:44:00

The Windows link currently 404s.

He took my job away by d_0o_d 2016-12-12T16:33:00

I didn't manage to get anywhere, sorry. There's portals, and there's throwing stuff, but I can't get anything interesting to happen.

Neon no Nakama by SimonHutchinson 2016-12-12T16:21:00

That was beautiful! Very atmospheric, and very emotional through simple means.

Tamagogeek by dodormeur 2016-12-12T16:13:00

It fails to run on Chrome for me. I'm getting an unexpected token on line 85 - "function drawPixel(x,y,r,g,b,a = 255)" - I don't think default arguments are a part of standard JS?

Ungelo by Broken Matrix 2016-12-12T16:10:00

I was able to get the cursor to work in the web version, but I still can't input anything into the password input field.

DarkLight by Minato4th 2016-12-12T16:01:00

It's so dark I can't really tell what I'm doing, sorry.

oneroom by cyfixus 2016-12-12T15:56:00

I'm sorry, but this was more confusing than anything. It runs fine, but I am pressing things and stuff happens and it's too complex with too little indication of what's going on.

St. Nick's Defense by Josh H 2016-12-12T15:53:00

NB you should call the download link "Windows" not "Web".

Me, Myself And The Room by Artylo 2016-12-12T15:51:00

I tried it on Wine/Linux, and sadly it said "Cabinet not valid". (This is not a complaint, given that you didn't say it was Linux-compatible, but I thought I'd give it a try.)

Porno Tales: part 1 (Warning: NSFW!!!) by Sublustris 2016-12-12T13:08:00

So you're... Spongebob, who has to grab radioactive mushrooms while being chased by line-dancing amorous Minions?

Attack of the aliens! by psilon 2016-12-12T13:06:00

Oddly cute aliens. So much clicking!

Elemental Master by Cosmic-Hawke 2016-12-12T13:01:00

Lovely graphics, but the controls are awkward, and I glitched through walls a bunch of times.

Defend the Nukes! by Asturk 2016-12-12T12:54:00

Hmm, the itch.io link at https://asturk.itch.io/defend-the-nukes is broken.

Room Kingdom by Oxeren 2016-12-12T12:40:00

Beautiful graphics, but the sound effects don't fit with them at all. Overall, pretty cool game. :)

Cat and Robot by Vadim Ivshin 2016-12-12T12:33:00

​It's like RoboRally but domestic! I like it!

As Cancer Grows by kyuni 2016-12-12T12:12:00

That took a strangely brutal and abstract turn. :)

Interrogation Room by DiscoFish 2016-12-12T12:08:00

Doesn't seem to load on web / embed for me, sorry. This is on Linux Mint / Chrome.

The Murder Room by Sawtan 2016-12-12T12:01:00

I like the graphical style. Solid twin-stick shooter thing. :)

Studio Castle by sgadrat 2016-12-12T11:56:00

Tried this in the embedded version and the linked web version. Pressing space doesn't do anything.

Battlefield One Room by Potato & Taco 2016-12-12T11:54:00

Hitting space next to the door with the key in my inventory makes the key re-appear on the floor. Am I missing something?

Poopy R**mba by Moritz 2016-12-12T11:47:00

Space-filling poop curves. :D

Teleporting Room by SkyWolf 2016-12-12T11:42:00

The high-level colour mechanic is interesting, but I couldn't really get it to work to my advantage.

Radioactive Room: Synthetic Selection by Pietdagamer 2016-12-12T11:37:00

Can't get it to run on Linux, even after installing libsfml, probably because aptitude is giving me v2.1.2 and you need v2.3? -- RadioactiveRoom_SyntheticSelection_Linux: error while loading shared libraries: libsfml-graphics.so.2.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Space Mail Room by StarshipTrooper0589 2016-12-12T10:52:00

I wouldn't really call it "fun", but it feels realistically horrific in simulating office tedium. :)

The Box Sorting Extravaganza by jamesy012 2016-12-12T10:43:00

I liked the way that you can organize things yourself. It was sometimes hard to get boxes off high shelves. Which I guess is true in real life too.

VacuumBot by Dvorgaz 2016-12-12T10:36:00

The scan sweep is a really cool and effective graphical approach. It would be useful to know what the radius is in which I suck up dust.

The Labyrinth Room by savinvadim1312 2016-12-12T10:33:00

I punched many spiders and made a lot of money. Gotta agree that the music is really annoying.

Perfidious Albion by Ysty 2016-12-12T10:29:00

Yep, having spent nearly a decade of my life there, this is basically a distillation of modern Britain.

Taffer by Daedolon 2016-12-12T10:23:00

Nice mood. I was able to knock the torches out of the holders. Was that intentional or just a consequence of the physics? Glad everything in the house has the highest fire-safety standards.

Artifact Dash by arhpositive 2016-12-12T10:17:00

This looks neat, but I have to see if I can get together enough people to actually try it.

LDJAM_37: Yan Mc Baba's Survival by Vegevan 2016-12-12T10:08:00

Couldn't open it for Linux 64 either. I think you failed to package parts of it. It gave me the following output on the command line: https://gist.github.com/Zarkonnen/73d11e1d1a9ab52853ba533fd116d965

Maze Frenzy by ZQMony 2016-12-12T09:57:00

This has really simple but effective mechanics! The best compo game gameplay-wise I've played so far. I think you could take this and make it into a good "real game" by adding in an explicit theme and graphics. Also, pleased to see that Java hasn't quite gone extinct as a gamedev platform. :D

Zomploder by TechXSoftware 2016-12-12T09:48:00

When I try to launch the embedded game, I get "NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist.". This is on Chrome Version 48.0.2564.109 (64-bit), on Linux Mint.

Mouse House by MacDocBros 2016-12-12T09:44:00

Very stylish, fun despite simple gameplay. Cat is creepy and has a weirdly human face in some frames.

Moonlight Maximum by slimabob 2016-12-12T09:41:00

Well, we didn't need the moon anyway...

I had fun, and I liked the buying/building elements.

SANTA'S ONE ROOM by cjke.7777 2016-12-12T09:34:00

An in-depth look into the brutal nature of capitalist labour relations.

Super Battle Cycle by PowerSpark 2016-12-12T07:02:00

I like the grappling mechanics. The steering controls are a bit fiddly.
