LD27 — 10 Seconds

NSA's Where's Snowden? by Will Edwards 2013-09-03T15:23:00

I feel like this was good, but I think I'd like to be lead a little better with the gameplay, at least at the start. I think this was an amazing idea and very innovative, but something to really pull me into the game would have made it better for me :)

1007Quest by Hegemege 2013-09-03T18:45:00

The art was so cool, definitely enjoyed your game :)

Make a game Game by Pacaco 2013-09-03T15:41:00

I really loved the idea. And the music and sound effects were amazing, I'd actually love to see where you make your sounds / get your sounds from. The execution was kind of poor. The beginning is just 123 mashing and clicking and then the game you "make" isn't very challenging or fun. Keep up the good work tho I loved how innovative it was!

How long does 10 seconds last ? by AnnaGavaldaKedavra 2013-09-03T19:19:00

you can move before you can see yourself, hahaha, but that's okay, great game!

Mission Mars by gre 2013-09-03T15:37:00

The physics / graphics were buggy and that was distracting and irritating. I didn't like spacebar to cycle thru the chat. I don't think the chat was really necessary and didn't add much for me. Art was meh. Keep at it though!

Goat Tower by klianc09 2013-09-03T19:11:00

lol, goats.

Solution by Cognizant Game Studios 2013-09-03T16:01:00

dropbox 404? :( it looked so cool!

Nailcastle by Aifryz 2013-09-03T16:19:00

Good idea, a little sadfaced at the execution.

Quickfire by Aaron4576 2013-09-03T16:10:00

I loved the idea, but the execution was poor. It's a shame more effort wasn't put into this because this could be a realyl good game. Most of all the AI needs to be... better. I feel like you just enter a random control every quarter second or something, haha. Would love to see a more polished version of this same idea.

1 AM by Soundboy 2013-09-03T16:05:00

I really like it, loved the idea. But the writing, perhaps, could have been a little more succinct. Also I really would have loved some sound effects for the places that you were or the things that you were doing. That would have made the game for me :)

10 seconds twine adventure by Fabien Porée 2013-09-03T16:07:00

Hahahahahhah, alright some people might think this is stupid. But I loved this game. I loved it so much. And the art made me actually laugh out loud. Bravo, man. Bravo.

Conquer the World by optimality 2013-09-03T19:34:00

wouldn't work? nothing happens when I click the .exe : / sadface

Seconds of Revenge by GreyBody 2013-09-03T18:47:00

gameplay leaves a lot to be desired, but (like DananVanYperen) said, it's always nice to see games like this!

Jump Drive by smotko 2013-09-03T19:07:00

well done, I enjoyed it :)

Hiccup 2 by tiffi 2013-09-03T18:54:00

that was actually really cool, the graphics were cool the style was cool, I love how you just got thrown into it! Very addictive. I would love love love to play a polished version of this with a few bugfixes (like gravity being acceleration rather than velocity, haha), and some sort of score. Great game! One of my favorites!

Escape of the Alien by Hexadecima1 2013-09-03T19:00:00

straightforward, pretty fun, needs a little something though, I'd love to play a polished version :)

Gred & Reen by AlvaroH 2013-09-03T18:56:00

oh my gosh, so cool! I really liked this game. It was very simple and very addictive. I feel like it being so simple there would have been more time for things like art and little tweaks to the scoring / making the gameplay just a little more interesting. One of my favorites. I'd love to play a polished version :) very well done.

ApocalypTEN by SlayerEXE 2013-09-03T19:04:00

Bahaha, the porn mags. Oddly distracting... Good game, but I'd like to see a more polished version of it :)

Run Buddy by PizzaPranks 2013-09-03T19:44:00

too buggy to play : /

The Adventures of Lars by Dan 2013-09-03T19:32:00

loved it, would love to see the rest + bugfixes!

Goblin Timer by johntheperson 2013-09-03T16:13:00

I really think this was a good start to a great game! Would have loved to seen a more polished version of this with multiple levels / more things to do. Also it was a little frustrating to only see such a small part of the level. Well done :)

Chromashoot by disdanes 2013-09-03T15:20:00

The idea for this game was fantastic! I really liked the color concept and the changes every 10 seconds. The art was good and the instructions were funny while being helpful.

I'd like to see a version of this where the gameplay is more polished :)

Hurry UP! by Sense 2013-09-03T18:50:00

loved it overall, would like to move backwards, would like the jumping to be a little better, but it was simple gameplay and good music / art :)

10 seconds lag by Tryum 2013-09-03T15:50:00

I really loved the concept, but the execution was a little unclear and confusing. Keep up the good work! I notice you say this is your first one but I'd really love to see you make games after you get some experience :))) I loved the stylized art :)

RunTime Error by Tankenstein 2013-09-03T19:41:00

Really cool idea, but the gameplay left a little bit to be desired

Tower Escape by Serishmus 2013-09-03T18:39:00

Fun game. I wish there was a way to reason where to go rather than just trying different doors. Also more levels would be nice but a great idea! I'd love to play a more polished version of this :) keep up the good work!

High Jumper by GVmakesGames 2013-09-03T16:01:00

pretty good idea, pretty good execution, nice sound :p

overall: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lltzgnHi5F1qzib3wo1_400.jpg

The Dollhouse Curse by Saf 2013-09-03T18:44:00

Truly fantastic game! The graphics look great and the sounds were amazing! I would have liked a little more versatility in the gameplay and it would have been nice if the tiles appearing / disappearing worked a little differently. Perhaps the tiles stay visible but your sight range is finite? I would love to play a more polished version. Very well done!

Trouble In Platformville by johnfn 2013-09-03T19:51:00

Fun and challenging, really awesome game! The music was amazing, and slowing down time was definitely one of the best game mechanics I've seen yet, 5/5!

10 Second Roguelike by BadgerPriest 2013-09-03T15:33:00

Loved it. Very addictive. We all know what it's a rip off of though, haha, so I'd like to see a little more innovation. But overall fantastic :)

Time Lord by zconnelly13 2013-09-03T15:15:00

Wow, I really appreciate all the feedback!

I am glad that people seemed to like the art for the game.
I'm also glad that people found the game challenging.

Since people seemed to like the background image here it is on imgur http://i.imgur.com/cFhGA14.jpg

It's too bad that the collision detection wasn't quite there. I really should have had the engine done beforehand and then created the game within the 48 hours, but I built everything including the level editor and the physics engine in the timeframe. Next time I will have that all polished and ready and I'll be more able to focus on game design.

I'm a little disappointed that I used a lot of time trying to fix up small things that didn't really matter, I should have focused more on gameplay. Also if I had the engine working beforehand I could have added more art / sound effects / music and probably had an all around better game.

10 Seconds to Rio by Rex Peppers 2013-09-03T18:36:00

eh... there's really not much gameplay here, the music was good, but this whole thing leaves a lot to be desired, keep up the good work though! I look forward to seeing future entries :)

Dark Interval by alexandervrs 2013-09-03T15:58:00

I. Loved. This. Game.

This is the best game I've played so far. The mood and audio was fantastic. The art on the walls was creepy and simple and amazing. The gameplay, admittedly, leaved a bit to be desired. I loved how there was no timer but the room just got shakier. If only the gameplay were a tad better (at the end I ended up more or less just spamming right and up, haha) too cool. Well done.

Robots Save the Day by udo 2013-09-03T15:30:00

I was really pleased with the idea behind this. It reminded me of this little toy truck I played with as a kid where you would enter a set of instructions and then hit go, I thought it was the coolest thing. The UI leaves a bit to be desired and keyboard shortcuts would have been clutch. It didn't work quite as expected either which was confusing. Also if the "play" button turned into a "reset" button after you hit play that'd be phenomenal. Great game! Would love to see a polished version :)

Time Flies Straight by mrspeaker 2013-09-03T15:44:00

I couldn't get passed the first part, I'd always die before the clock runs out, haha. I assume this is a homebrew 3d rendering engine? I think some of the math is funky 0_o, but I love that you did it yourself, haha. The graphics and sound could be better, too. Good job tho I'd love to see more of your work!

Time Flies Straight by mrspeaker 2013-09-03T18:37:00

I saw your comment and tried this game again. So much better this time, haha. Overall very very cool. Sorry I gave up so quickly last time >.<

LD28 — You Only Get One

Patch by MarekkPie 2013-12-16T20:36:00

Wow! What a cool puzzle game. The animations and style was excellent as well. Very well done. I'd like to see a mobile port! Would definitely buy a mobile port for ~$0.99. Good job :)

Da' Face by Snail_Man 2013-12-16T05:25:00

Awh, I'd love to play, but I'm on a mac : / any chance of a port?

You only jump once by dqmhose 2013-12-16T17:03:00

Wow! This was surprisingly addicting and challenging. I think a better difficulty curve alone would make this a way better game, but other than that fantastic!!!

You can only get one action - clear sheeps. by MyFrosch 2013-12-16T20:33:00

Wow 70MB 0_o. Haha, pretty neat game. The graphics were my favorite part! I love your style :) What did you use to make them?

Coin by jarnik 2013-12-16T04:30:00

Thought the idea was really cool and you did an amazing job on the artwork.

Left by MM 2013-12-16T04:27:00

Liked the idea however thought it was really difficult to steer. Took me a second to realize spacebar turned the ship.

One Shot by zzzev 2013-12-16T05:18:00

Pretty great game : ) I liked the style! I would have liked to see some different kinds of balls or something. As it is it's pretty OP to just move in a circle, haha.

Too Many Guns Bro by DiscoFish 2013-12-16T04:32:00

Great idea man. The graphics were pretty nice too!

Hauptbaum by Christian S. 2013-12-16T20:41:00

Wow what a great game! The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is solid. Great work :)

FowL Play by Sakuyan 2013-12-16T04:41:00

I really enjoyed the chicken.... Your game was a lot of fun. Reallyyy enjoyed it.

The Colosseum by CryoGenesis 2013-12-16T17:21:00

Haha, this was really cool. I love the attack mechanic and the way your enemies move is so creeeepy. I loved it overall.

bit.ly/18RddR1

Castle Uno by SecondDimension 2013-12-17T14:53:00

I liked this. There were some cool and interesting mechanics :)

The text on the tutorial level was straight unreadable, haha. But other than that it was great!

Prime Mover by andreimarks 2014-01-03T15:44:00

Wow so fun! Definitely one of my favorites. It was so hard but I managed to beat it.

I don't think keeping the balls grey until you click on them really ads to the gameplay though.

It was also a bit buggy and non-deterministic (the last level, anyway) but I suppose you get those sorts of things in such a fast game making competition XD. The music and graphics were brilliant!!! How were they made?

1Px@At by Fadobo 2013-12-16T20:57:00

I really love the minimalist style :)

Gods of Baloo by timtipgames 2013-12-16T05:22:00

This is a truly awesome game. It was a bit hard to get a hang of the controls but the concept was amazing and the execution was great. 5/5 on that audio, too, such great music and the baloon popping actually made me jump a bit, haha :)

Also, fullscreen? U fancy huh?

Snowball Carnage by Moist 2013-12-17T16:07:00

Oh. My. Gosh. SO GOOD. Definitely one of my favorites so far ^_^ the sound and knockback are so clutch!

Dodgy Ball by Random Seed Games 2013-12-17T04:57:00

Oh. My. Gosh. Too cool. Very well done XD

VisiOne by ThatGuy 2013-12-17T01:56:00

This was a really great concept, it did feel a little off / buggy but I love it!

Super Sting Something or other Fort by Gravity Games 2013-12-16T16:49:00

Awh, I'm sorry to hear that you forgot to submit. In any case...

I really loved the art and the concept. Holding the jump key I thought was a little unintuitive, and the waves could have probably been better designed so that the solution isn't just to spam, haha.

But this was an amazing concept and I really enjoyed it!

One Kingdom by RadioLemon 2013-12-17T02:17:00

I agree with @Mekuri, the idea was fantastic but it was rather unintuitive and pretty difficult. I then read through your detailed gameplay description and that helped but I'd wager most people aren't going to spend the time to read the manual.

Anyway I enjoyed it and would like to see more games from you in the future :)!

HelpHim! by pvp 2013-12-16T04:13:00

Wow it was so hard! A better learning curve would be much appreciated :) I understand tho. I always get super pro at games that I develop because of the hours I spend developing them, and then don't realize how hard they are, haha.

Daddy Rises by 02fc.exe 2013-12-17T15:15:00

Wow! Surprisingly addictive. The gameplay is a tad linear but this was a great idea! It would have been nice to spawn different ships with more powerful ones having longer cooldowns or something. Or even just a visual effect where your minions get bigger when your tower upgrades.

In any case what you have is solid and I really enjoyed it \(^_^)/

Servassacre by doonay21 2013-12-16T21:12:00

Wow, that game was so hardddd. Or is there a trick that I'm missing? The idea seemed so cool! But the controls just made it too hard (and not in the challenging / fun way). But I think it's a really great idea and I'd love to play a version with different controls.

COR by ENDESGA 2013-12-16T03:55:00

Right in the feels. I loved it. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Necronomnomnomicon by JoeProgram 2013-12-16T05:30:00

I loved the music and the graphics! The controls, however, were pretty unintuitive and frustrating. But I got the hang of it :)

Reminded me of katamari and I loved it. I'd like to see a version with easier controls tho.

Funigtor versus PackSciences : The Pic Pac D'Oh by PackSciences 2013-12-17T15:44:00

Rawr! So many game maker projects! They don't port to mac and it makes me sad </3

Prototype by Cheshyr 2013-12-17T02:26:00

Wow this game's graphics are amazing! How did you manage that in only 48 hours??? Well done ^_^

Dungeon Darkness by Tom Gardiner 2013-12-17T15:47:00

Unfortunately I can't play because I'm on a mac and don't have two gamepads. However! I looked at the trailer and the grapihcs were great and the music sounded superb :)

Bolt by Hologuardian 2013-12-16T20:47:00

Invalid or corrupt jar? (I unzipped it) hmmm

Sugar Rush by ALP_Squid 2013-12-17T15:43:00

So freaking hard to control that dude. (But I think that's the point) I love the concept and the art and sounds, but the gameplay needs a little tweaking. Also those places where you only have a few pixels of clearance tend to not make it harder, but just a bit more frustrating, haha.

All-in-all a great game and a very enjoyable experience ^_^ thanks for the fun!

You Only Get One ... Fairy God Mother by dekkuran 2013-12-17T02:09:00

MR SNIFFLES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :((((

Right in the feels.

There are not enough text based games like this, I really enjoyed it! And the music was great too ^_^

0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-17T02:22:00

Wow, this was seriously great. It was a bit unintuitive at first, but after I took the time to start to figure stuff out it was very enjoyable :) certainly one of my favorites so far XD

One Life by empireindustries 2013-12-16T21:56:00

Wow this game was so addicting! nice job!

Synesthesia by fullmontis 2013-12-17T14:57:00

Nooooo, windows only!? Any chance of a port?

Rewind by Nucleartree123 2013-12-16T16:30:00

This game REALLY REALLY makes me excited. The concept is amazing and the mechanics are interesting. The sound is good and the art is charming.

Really all this needs is a little polish / balancing. The "life" mechanic is just a bit weird because most of the time I end the level because I'm beaten quickly and my two lives I saved become useless (so I started using them as a resource e.g. intentionally spending down to 1 to get more coins)

It needs a bit of a learning curve (the first few times I played I died almost instantly and had no idea what to do) and the fact that the spacebar is the one and only control needs to be a bit more clear.

I'd love it if you could see your enemy on the map rather than just the mini-map at the top right.

It'd be nice to see total coins in addition to / instead of coins gathered this level.

Plus (although it'd be unreasonable to expect this in 48 hours) this game is so extendible! You could have multiple levels, more items to collect / avoid (maybe enemies that move towards you / "bags" of gold or gold bars worth more). Oh man I'm excited just thinking about it.

End of the day I would 100% certainly pay ~$0.99 or whatever for a polished mobile version of this. I seriously hope you use this as a base and take it to the next level! Excellent job. :)))

Charitable Donation by Lizzip 2013-12-16T14:00:00

Really liked the idea of your game; however, I thought it was kind of difficult to figure out the controls. Couldn't figure out how to drop the ball at first.

Free Sample Sim by Jack Zackowitz 2013-12-16T05:25:00

RUDE. (haha, so great)

YOGO YOLO ARENA by acronaut 2013-12-16T16:58:00

I'm a bit confused :3. I open it up and I can make this little orange guy walk around and there is a message that says "get ready" or something like that. But I'm not sure what to do? The screenshots look amazing and I'd really love to play! But I'm not sure where to go, haha.

Nameko Bounce by Shivers 2013-12-16T04:15:00

Nameko Bounce by Shivers 2013-12-16T04:15:00

Does not seem to be working for me : / OSX 10.8.5 Chrome (you can hit start, but then you can't move or do anything)

Asshole Ducks by thatwhichis 2013-12-16T03:51:00

Bahaha, funny! Also the sound was great.

YouOnlyGetOnePath by xerysherry 2013-12-17T01:44:00

Arrrrrgh, this looks too cool, but I am not on a windows machine :( do "love" games not port to mac? They must, there is a mac sdk, right?

You only got one... HUNDRED lives! by RedPanda 2013-12-16T21:02:00

Loved it. This was a rather extensive game, too, for only 48 hours! The sound was great and the art was amazing. A job well done. Also don't listen to the haters who don't like WASD, haha, arrow keys are for noooooobs :p (although it's not a bad idea to support both really, haha)

John Power by Anoarith 2013-12-17T01:38:00

Saaadface. This looks like so much fun and the comments suggest the same but I'm on a mac :(((

UniSwarm by ChaseC 2013-12-17T01:54:00

I really loved this game! I enjoy the minimalistic design and although it took a while to get the hang of the strategy I really enjoyed it :)

ArenaFighterz Game by Rothens 2013-12-17T14:34:00

Urgghhhhhh, I want to play this so badly! But it just errors out :( I opened it up via the terminal so I could share the error message (below) in hopes that this helps.

Leap of Faith by Lustdante 2013-12-16T04:33:00

Wow! The intro was fantastic and the gameplay (although a little unintuitive) was interesting :) I'd like to see this with different "levels" or something and with a bit more forgiving learning curve. But seriously excellent job! How is working with unity? I'm considering switching :3

Evosea by disdanes 2013-12-16T15:39:00

The graphics and the audio were fantastic! I was surprised how well the music set the mood of being underwater. Also if you guys did not pick the seahorse evolution, you're doing it wrong. The "fighting" mechanic was a bit weird and it would have been nice to know when I'm invulnerable, but a fantastic idea and a great game :)

One upgrade in heart by Tonasz 2013-12-16T16:54:00

I really enjoyed this game :) I was confused about the robots moving before I completed a series of arrows at first. I also was unsure about when I was hitting my mark. Some sort of visual to show when I hit an arrow (maybe the white line turns a color and the arrow turns a color or something simple) would be a great addition and make the game more enjoyable :) Great work!

Alien Plant by internetpaulicy 2013-12-17T02:13:00

Blegh, I really want to play it, but unity doesn't work right on the web for my mac :((( I can only move left and pick up people, haha. Could you provide the standalones perhaps?

You Only Get Juan by EvilObjective 2013-12-17T04:58:00

Bahahhahahhahh, wait. This is fantastic. 5/5 for humor and theme for sure. That was great.

Monad by Piat 2013-12-16T16:11:00

Hmm, I think it's not working quite correctly on my machine (Windows 7 64-bit). I heal him a bunch but nothing happens after that :3 great concept tho!

One Click Headshot by voltorben 2013-12-16T20:10:00

The controls were a bit unintuitive, and the camera movement while in scope mode felt weird. But other than that it was a great concept and a very will polished game! I feel like if this had been playtested by someone dry (without you giving them any instruction) a few times you'd really polish it up :)

Hammerfall by Supernaught 2013-12-17T14:39:00

Awh, this looks so cool, but I'm on a mac :( is there any chance of a port? What technologies did you use?

SinglShot by SamH 2013-12-16T20:32:00

Wow! What a cool game :) The art was fantastic, the gameplay was clean. The controls were intuitive. Truly great work. The only thing that's missing is some controls and sound effects!

I would absolutely pay ~$0.99 for a mobile port with some sound and more levels. Well done!

YOGO Cubes by Tym0r 2013-12-16T04:12:00

I would really like to play it but it's not working on osx 10.8.5... other .jars work fine and my java is up to date. I was going to compile it myself / fix it, but you didn't provide the source? Source plz :)

Clicken by brogrammers 2013-12-17T15:19:00

It won't work on my Mac OSX 10.8.5... the game boots and I see the title screen and hear the great music but when I click nothing happens :((( I am sadfaced. This looks amazing.

A Cat and a Jetpack by dingotime 2013-12-16T05:43:00

Kitteh nuuuuuuuu :( My cat's broken, he always likes to fall when high in the sky. Also I liked the music in combination with a lack of max velocity :p

Single-Shot Space Hero: Adventures Through Time and Space; Encounters With The Green Worms of the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Planetoid Quaoar by mutilator 2013-12-17T16:16:00

Wow, that was so hard! Haha. And I had to use all my movement to stay alive! I couldn't control the bullet, lol guess I'm not pro enough ^_^ the sounds were great and the graphics too! Very well done :)

The Wizard's Quest by zebi24 2013-12-17T01:23:00

Wow I really enjoyed this!!! I very much enjoyed the controls, and for how simple they are they were pretty unique. It was surprisingly difficult too.

I had to use the downloadable version because in the web version I could only move Left? Chrome - OSX 10.8.5 I reloaded a few times, but that doesn't make much sense given it's unity and it worked in the standalone. In any case nice job!

Eggcited by intelligentbean 2013-12-16T21:21:00

The music is so trippy! The art needs to be a bit... bigger? I couldn't quite tell what all the items were, but it reminded me a lot of those "Escape the _____" games. (Which were very popular and did really well). Nice work!

Thirsty by Pickle 2013-12-16T04:25:00

Hmmm, the controls don't seem to work quite right for being just wasd. A little unintuitive. But I see it's you're first dare, and this is 10000x what my first dare entry looked like, hahaha so congrats! Welcome to the club ;)

soulmate by syl 2013-12-16T04:28:00

This seems like a great start! I'd love a double jump. And it wasn't completely intuitive that the little candy-corn looking things were dangerous, haha. But the music was awesome and the jump sound was great. I'd really love to see this with some more levels!

Also the "web" link seems to be broken, but the download worked just fine.

One Through The Gate by Wenzil 2013-12-16T03:52:00

Kinda slow at the start but enjoyed the game play. What technologies did you use to make the game?

Watch Out for Bears by bakpakin 2013-12-17T02:14:00

Does not appear to be working on my mac OSX 10.8.5 : / saaaadface. I open it and it just opens to a back screen

One Turn by dearenot 2013-12-17T15:21:00

Noooo, urrrgh. Windows only? I am sadfaced. Any chance of a port? What technologies did you use? This looks great :)

Moments of Paranoia by SpellingPhailer 2013-12-17T16:22:00

Music is great. Graphics are great. Text speed is a bit slow :3

Did I win!?!?? haha I liked how it played off of "The Thing" :)

Card Encounter! by Mechatodzilla 2013-12-17T05:02:00

Wow, I definitely liked this game. Like a lot. It was simple and well thought out and well executed. Couldn't really ask for more than that :) Very well done!

Diner Devil! by voidqk 2013-12-16T04:40:00

It seemed like a great idea, but the controls are a bit confusing and unintuitive : / the learning curve was so steep! But I liked it :)

Unibrow by ViliX64 2013-12-16T05:39:00

Wow this is really really cool! I loved the mechanic. When flipping through the screenshots I thought it looked "gimic"-ey but you really made it work :)

Deep Sea Mining Company by loggs2 2013-12-16T16:08:00

The art was really cool. Definitely the best part. This was a great start to a really cool game!

The only thing it needs now is to be a bit more dynamic, or maybe more than one way to win? The art is seriously great and the foundation is super solid :)

YOGOB by sprawl 2013-12-17T01:36:00

Hmmm, haha, a little confusing to start out. And perhaps not the most dynamic game in the lot, but it kept my attention longer than most. Great music!

Mikes toy by d_0o_d 2013-12-16T17:31:00

Hmmm, a little bit confusing at first (well level 2), but fun overall!

Choices (Sea Wind) by Striwx 2013-12-17T15:24:00

Wow, I realize there wasn't a ton of gameplay but I really loved what I saw! The art was amazing and the idea was clutch and the mood was great.

I shall look forward to future entries from you :)

Tank Shooter by MrJavaFrank 2013-12-17T16:11:00

Would not open for me :(

You Only Get One: TOWER DEFENSE by tklovert 2013-12-16T04:35:00

Urghhhhhh, I want to play this so badddd, but I'm on a mac? Is there any chance that you're going to port this? (Porting is allowed even after the 48 hours)

Listen by Donutttt 2013-12-16T20:56:00

bahaha, whatttttttt, yes! Nice.

Tough by anvoz 2013-12-16T19:38:00

I am a bit confused, haha. You're supposed to kill him? But he's so tough!

You Can Only Win by yapshuter63 2013-12-17T01:26:00

"The classic environment is no longer supported" ? Mac 10.8.5

One Minute Box Shooter by PixelatedLlama 2013-12-16T16:44:00

Haha, a great concept surely. This really just needs a bit of tweaking to really be a ton of fun. I think I'd make the vision range bigger (or have an upgrade you can collect). And perhaps teach the user the controls somehow. Plus the clock really only needs to show the seconds (maybe even to the tenths or hundredths place). I'd definitely like to say like 5/10 boxes killed (or whatever).

Anyway I really enjoyed it! I'd love to see a polished version :)

Weird Kingdom by insane66 2013-12-16T05:26:00

Rawrrr the art for this looks great! But I can't play because I'm on a mac : / is there any chance that you'll port this?

Hamsi Bro by broepi 2013-12-17T14:45:00

Sadface :(. I checked the permissions on the executable but alas...

hamsibro.sh: line 3: ./binary: cannot execute binary file

No double jump :( by Wspon 2013-12-16T05:40:00

No double jump : ( ? But I looooove double jump! Haha, excellent game :)

Rocks-n-Blaster by HuntTheWumpus 2013-12-17T01:24:00

Bah, I'm on a mac. Can you not port love files to mac?

Ninja-kun's Final Exam by Thommy 2013-12-16T04:34:00

Can't play it because I'm on a Mac but your game looks pretty cool. Want to see everything the ninja can do! Anyway you can port it or put it on the Web?

CHOOSE W1SELY by ViKing Games 2013-12-16T21:47:00

Wow this game was so hard! But I liked it anyway and the main character is adorable.

You Only Get One Nap by Gtoknu 2013-12-16T04:02:00

What a great game! Surprisingly difficult. Also it works on a mac osx 10.8.5. The music and sound effects were great. My favorite part was the screen shaking when you got hit / died, it really made it come alive. If there is anything you could improve on it'd be the level design and maybe the jump mechanics. A neat trick I like to follow is just to have 2 ways to get from A to B. It makes the game a little more dynamic and fun :)

Hammer Control by pkenney 2013-12-16T04:21:00

Wow! So freaking good. I loved this game. I just yelled "double kill" and probably woke up my roommate. But seriously amazing tho. I would love a little "success!" sound effect to play when i beat a level. But other than that truly good work.

The controls were a little unintuitive at first, but I quickly learned to love them :)

Only one chance at one way out by Gerben Limburg 2013-12-17T16:06:00

Wow! I really love the concept of this game and it looks super interesting :) but I, sadly, am on a mac :(

Perception by y2bd 2013-12-16T04:30:00

Hmmm, I downloaded the source and it looks interesting, but I'm on a mac so I can't play : / is there any way to port this to mac? (Porting is allowed after the 48 hours, btw)

You only get 1111 by funktor 2013-12-16T03:48:00

I really liked the music!

You Only Get One Dollar! by VideahGams 2013-12-17T01:59:00

Haha, so awesome! Also your username reminds me of hyperbole and a half's spaghatta nadle and that made me smile :) http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/spaghatta-nadle.html

Do not miss! by ambi 2013-12-16T05:25:00

Awh, I'd love to play but I'm on a mac : / any chance of a port???

ROOFTOP by blasmena 2013-12-16T22:08:00

pretty hard and a little confusing, but overall enjoyable :)

NUCLEAR by backflipppp 2013-12-17T15:01:00

None of the controls work on my mac :( saaaaadface. It looks awesome tho! Haha, I can look around with the mouse :)

$1 Hero by Microfrog 2013-12-16T21:58:00

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to be working on my box, the window opens and then crashes. Maybe because I'm on 64 bit?

You only get one happy little life by lorniebear 2013-12-16T18:53:00

Zomg. Right in the feels.

Touch by WhoaConstrictor 2013-12-17T02:05:00

Wow... I... wow.

I forgot to words. No speeches... ... so incredible!

Only One Chance by johnfn 2013-12-17T12:56:00

Wow, this was very impressive. I really like the style of art and writing and the game was challenging but had a great learning curve. The music was great and the spinny snow-y particles in the background supplemented the whole thing nicely. Hands down my favorite game so far :) Well done!

Simple Ships by PineappleLime 2013-12-16T19:45:00

Hmmm, the controls were a bit unintuitive at first, but once I got used to it I liked it! This is a great start :)

What exactly was the play on the theme?

Apollo 97 by DrooobE 2013-12-16T03:52:00

A little unintuitive to start, but overall I enjoyed it :)

Lestac by almightysuit 2013-12-17T03:44:00

The graphics and sound were amazing. And I love love love the edge-grab mechanic, so cool! It really adds that extra little "kick" to it :)

The building distances being different were a little confusing and it was kind of hard to tell which ones were which, but a fantastic entry! Definitely one of my favorites so far :)

CL1CK by Strangelander 2013-12-17T15:52:00

I really like the simplistic design and awesome sound effect. I would probably pay $0.99 for a mobile version of this with some more levels! Well done :)

Cascade by code-11 2013-12-17T03:53:00

Bahahhahah, this sounded great! So I got the roomies together and tried it. It delivered everything I expected :) Plus we started easy and got harder and the end results got more hilarious. The orator position was always hard (not only because it's naturally hard) but everyone laughed at the stupid things that he would have to say. Also we played like 12 rounds and only drew 2 penises so all-in-all an epic win. Well done!

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-16T04:42:00

Why thank you :) sharpie + paper, haha.

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-16T05:14:00

Yea, I actually had a few more ideas for "you only get one's" but I just ran out of time and the game became pretty hard to balance as it was :p.

Awh sadface. Yes it has become abundantly clear that I'll need to install / configure wine (so I can run .exes) on a mac so I can rate all of these cool games!

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-16T15:41:00

Please take note that those of you leaving "doge-style" comments are my favorite kind of people. Much love. Very community. Wow.

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-16T20:12:00

Yea, I actually had some music picked out, but I didn't finish as much art as I wanted.

My jump mechanics I will definitely polish next time. Thank you all for the amazing feedback!

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-17T01:29:00

@MarekkPie - that was definitely a challenge and was probably the most challenging part of this dare. It was very helpful to have a few playtesters at my disposal that identified bugs / make suggestions / identify parts of the level that made you get stuck with certain upgrade combinations.

Playtesters are so clutch!

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-17T03:39:00

@doctorscientist, hmmm strange, I think something the double jump mechanic where your second jump's power is increased the closer you are to the peak of your jump was confusing for some people and that's probably what happened : /

@Sean Noonan
Yea I didn't have enough time to implement all of the power ups I'd like >.< haha, so it was every other level (and the intermediate levels were designed to teach you the skill you just learned

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-17T13:01:00

@Spelchan
@ryann
@MadcoreTom

The movement is definitely something I will improve upon next time! I really appreciate this kind of feedback ^_^

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2013-12-17T21:21:00

Ah yes, the original plan was to make a font using one of those font sheets you print out and scan and draw the letters / symbols with a similar style but, sadly, I ran out of time :p.

Just due to the nature of choosing different upgrades a TON of my time was spent on level design (which I'm pretty newb at to begin with) and tweaking each little thing so that you can complete every level with any combination of skills!

Last ludum dare I think I got stuck on some silly issues (like spending too much time tweaking things that didn't matter) and I fixed that this go-round. But next time I think I need to do some more things outside the 48 hours (like art). And design simpler (but still fun!) levels so that it doesn't take so long to adjust them.

I really appreciate all the feedback and support ^_^

You Only Get Juan by doitle 2013-12-16T03:53:00

BAHHAHAHAHAHHA. So great. I laughed unreasonably hard at it

Can you hear me? by Jago 2013-12-16T20:50:00

Wow, what a cool game! So hard though, haha. What was that hissing supposed to be?

Jump Chip by arkeus 2013-12-16T04:11:00

I really enjoyed this game. I got a second person to play with me to control the other person and we did well together. Then we noticed that they kiss with a heart and thought the game turned like ten times better. Great job.

This is not golf by bizn355 2013-12-16T04:36:00

Really enjoyed the game! Great idea and it was very interesting. Thought the graphics turned out nicely too!

($SRCROOT)\dungeon by kirbytails7 2013-12-16T16:03:00

A really cool idea. My controls were a bit buggy... my "d" key didn't work unless I held shift while doing it? (I'm definitely not in caps-lock or anything, I disabled that junk, haha) That made it even harder to play! Also is there any reason you can't see what's in a room before you move into it?

Bazooka guy by Wukkopi 2013-12-16T17:16:00

Wow! Surprisingly addicting. The learning curve is pretty nice too, not something you see in a lot of these games :) I got stuck and was going to screenshot to show you where, but the screen goes purple when I hit printscreen? I'm not sure why that is. Anyway the part where you're supposed to jump through a floating "ammo" and land on a single block and then jump again. My second blast / jump isn't nearly powerful enough to get me to the right place :3 great game overall!

Open Forest by koller-digital 2013-12-17T14:20:00

This looks so coooool! But it won't open for some reason :( OSX 10.8.5

Below I've provided the error message in hopes that it will help!

WaterColor by fierysquirrel 2013-12-17T01:43:00

Wow! This is definitely one of my favorites so far. The gameplay was really cool. Excellent use of the theme. And I enjoyed the simplistic yet polished feel to the graphics. Plus the sound was great!

The only thing I think I might suggest is a bit more of a learning curve in terms of difficulty. I felt like the first level I was learning and then I was just thrown into the fire XD. Overall very enjoyable. Would recommend :)

Moon's quest by JaJ 2013-12-17T21:31:00

Woahhhhh, this game is so cooool! I absolutely love it. I have no idea how you pulled this off in 48 hours but job well done :)

The graphics and sound were amazing too! Jealous :)

Holiday Chopper Frenzy by mcgraw 2013-12-16T03:57:00

Fun game. I enjoyed the background and artwork.

Mini one shot game series by LeReveur 2013-12-17T14:31:00

Wow! Surprisingly addicting for being so simple. I played through 4-5 times so I could score a 30, hahaha. Very nice!

I'd love to see more levels :)

Biofuel by Steven Colling 2013-12-16T22:05:00

Wow! So cool! I really enjoyed it. Was relaxing and nice.

Archerilles' Heel by TBSHRichard 2013-12-17T16:28:00

Hmmm, this was a very interesting concept! I really liked all the different arrow mechanics. Maybe this should have been you only get one type of arrow? Haha. I wish there were more levels, it stopped when i was really getting into it! Well done :)

One More Bullet by ziomorti 2013-12-16T20:26:00

Saying "Ready Set Go!!" and then having to wait was confusing at first, but after that little bump this was a great game! Well polished, too, for just 48 hours.

One Button Racer by badlydrawnrod 2013-12-16T21:29:00

Wow!!! What an excellent game. It reminds me of that old real life game with tracks where you just controlled the speed of the car with and tried to race around as fast as possible. Plus I definitely have a thing for one-button games. One of my favorites so far :) well done!

Gnome Hedge by haveric 2013-12-16T04:15:00

Interesting game! Had a hard time figuring out how to work the controls but thought it was fun!

ONE COLOR by howieV (binarygirl) 2013-12-17T14:56:00

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to run on my computer, actually it completely crashed my chrome :3 haha. Maybe the jar would work? Not sure what's wrong. My java is up to date.

The Naughty List by locknic 2013-12-17T14:38:00

Wow, this game was so hard! haha. I loved the controls tho. The collision detection seemed to be just a tad funky sometimes, but overall it was very well done :)
