Encroaching by Ava Skoog 2018-08-14T19:31:54Z ♥ 1

Very atmospheric and moody. I felt like I was surrounded and together with the visuals and sounds contribute to a tense, oppressive setting. The evil laughs are a good touch too. Only the chirpy birds sounded a bit too happy and morning-like, the crows fit much better. You may want to opt out of the humour category as well, unless I'm just humourless…

Btw, if you feel so inclined to try my entry, please wait a bit. It's incomplete but I'm actually making a playable post-compo version. You can rate the current one but there isn't much of a game there.

Anyway, great entry. Actually kind of sad I saw all the in-production pics as I already knew what was going on. Next time I'll have to mute your twitter during LD 😁

Mallio Cart by Ava Skoog 2017-12-18T20:42:02Z ♥ 1

Argh, I didn't even make it the whole 2.5 minutes, and I tried twice! The babies and the thieves and the crowding and the incessant music and shopping and it was just a bit too real for me. So in that regard, great job, because this was terrible. I will never go out into the real world again, you have convinced me that it is better this way. I only need my wife anyway. Well, and food too I guess.

In all seriousness, the bombardment of annoyances in this game is amazing because I could feel myself stressing out, which doesn't happen very often. In the wise words of Joshua/WOPR: The only way to win is not to play. This is normally not a sign of success, but in this case I feel you succeeded. A+, Great mood, can never play again.

S - The Game by Stadoblech 2017-12-17T16:11:23Z ♥ 1

Nice simple style and design. I got stuck on the screen with 1 bar and two vertical dots because the game took too long to detect both Ss hanging. So I kinda rage-quit. Nice piano music too.

Babies! Babies! Babies! by Local Minimum 2017-12-17T15:52:21Z ♥ 0

Please, no. Good creepy doll situation going on here and I can appreciate the sentiment. Not sure how to shake the critters off but well played, team. Well played.

Fat Cat Battleground by rustray 2017-12-16T23:33:57Z ♥ 2

Nicely done. It's actually more enjoyable to just east all the food and let happen whatever happens.

Fat Puss by Gama Croma 2017-12-16T23:28:45Z ♥ 1

The collision boxes are not very intuitive but points for a cut protagonist and a nice backdrop. I won and was the 13th to do so I think. Who doesn't like a fat cat?

Cheese Stealing Mice by gatinmnsok 2017-12-16T23:23:04Z ♥ 1

The disembodied cat paw in a cheese was a masterful design element. Cute and funny game.

Voiid by Ace17 2017-12-13T23:11:59Z ♥ 1

Good amount of work for a compo entry. Having read your comment (btw, replied back on my entry page) I see the link to Kairo in this entry clearly! Also, I feel justified again for the decision I made for my engine. I tried some quick collision code, immediately ran into a ton of edge cases, thought "Nope" and integrated AmmoJS (Bullet physics) instead ;) Is your engine code online somewhere? Would be nice to see how you approached some problems. Oh, the game: the harsh sounds and architecture I feel worked well. Gameplay was simple but clear and I made it to the end. Cheers all around.

(btw, just saw the source code link now, my bad)

Ghosth - Annoying Ghosts by Crowno 2017-12-09T22:21:48Z ♥ 0

Looks amazing, if the controls didn't register double jumps as eagerly it would be very pleasant to play.

Ghustle: Ghost Hustle by DINTDT 2017-12-09T16:46:08Z ♥ 0

Simple but fine scoring system balancing slowing down vs more points. Be sure to rate others so more people will find your game!

Puzzle Trubbles by rsim 2017-12-09T16:35:38Z ♥ 1

This is the only game in LD40 that thought to use tribbles, which to me seemed like an obvious theme usage. Nicely done and thanks for the tribbles!

Shoot off their lumps by pixeye 2017-12-09T16:25:09Z ♥ 1

Promising, but not much of a game. You are clearly a skilled duo, so remove the references to big games that will get you cease and desist orders and make this into a great game! Good luck.

The more hair you have... by Naca 2017-12-09T16:10:55Z ♥ 1

Good reversal! Nice visual style as well. If it had some suave music and sound effects, would have been perfect. Well done.

Honey Money by harusame 2017-12-09T16:00:11Z ♥ 1

Good look and feel, nice music and setup. The NPCs are a bit too unpredictable to really use a strategy in the game. Sometimes I would rob a house right next to a guard and nothing would happend and sometimes a guard just decided I was evil while I was walking around. Great entry.

Avarice by elitegoliath 2017-12-09T15:43:25Z ♥ 3

Hey, just a heads up, your macOS distribution is very strangely broken, the app has all of its content folders (partially) duplicated with the files spread across the various duplicates. Can you make another macOS build and zip? Thanks.

A cozy winter walk by tinyworlds 2017-12-08T21:27:42Z ♥ 1

Good positive spin on the theme. It's hailing outside and I've got a warm cuppa right here so this was a good moment to play.

Afterthought: you know, I was annoyed with the theme because it would (and did) give rise to many negatively-themed or "reverse" games, but I didn't even consider reversing it like you did, which now seems obvious. Thanks for sharing and good night.

Of a Feather by Gumboot 2017-12-08T21:15:59Z ♥ 1

Very nice drawn visual style and animations, fun little things like a bird sitting on an alligator's back. Good adoption of theme. I got about 1300 pts at level 3.

Sofra by voxel 2017-12-08T20:29:44Z ♥ 1

This is the best thing. I don't give 5-star overall ratings, but this time I did. This compo game is better than most jam entries of any LD. Bravo. *slow clap*

HENRAGED by ohmmus 2017-12-07T18:39:24Z ♥ 0

This was more fun than it should have been. I got all the eggs. Good mood and funky music. Nice.

Scavenger by LimeniusTeam 2017-12-07T18:24:46Z ♥ 1

Finished all 9 levels. Pretty good. The spells/potions were a bit underused and in L9 I saw a purple potion in the light that was not there, bit odd. Good setup.

Lost Orbs by Masthiks 2017-12-07T18:11:54Z ♥ 0

Nice visual style. The diagonal controls were difficult to get use to and I could not get past level 2. Good concept.

Larry Kroft and the Temple of Booze by thomz12 2017-12-07T18:06:33Z ♥ 2

Good usage of theme, great looks and good level layout! The music got on my nerves quickly but otherwise no complaints.

Sunken by Tay 2017-12-07T17:49:26Z ♥ 1

Good effort. Some visual clarity aside, the concept is good and simple, and some more balancing to prevent 1 monster from being an instakill would give it more strategic value. Well done.

Snake Charmer by fakeyou 2017-12-07T17:38:17Z ♥ 0

Great look and feel, esp. for a compo entry. Sadly the level generator had a habit of making impassable sections for me… Well done.

Cursed by Kerr 2017-12-07T17:27:25Z ♥ 0

The movement is very floaty and characters seems to slide on for a while. Sadly the AI seemed to just get killed or get stuck in an area (web version). Nice visual style and good sound vibe.

Happy Loot by Aycan 2017-12-07T17:17:58Z ♥ 1

Good job creating a faux multiplayer coin collect-a-thon in a compo. Had me fooled there. Controls were weird but that's part of the point, I felt. Nice one.

Property In-spectre by Tad 2017-12-06T17:55:51Z ♥ 1

Very nicely done. Good overall vibe and I loved the after-game inspection phase to check your result. Nice modelling too!

Crate Expectations by Joel Davis 2017-12-06T17:38:25Z ♥ 0

First of all, crate title. I got overwhelmed quickly as people came to pick stuff up as I'd just dumped everything close to me. Logistics is hard. Will try again. Nice one.

Mountain Diver by Ithildin 2017-12-06T17:23:19Z ♥ 1

Clever usage of the theme. I finally figured out a pretty optimal way of descending and going back up again, ended with 56 points/crystals. Simple but nice.

Headstuck by fullmontis 2017-12-06T16:14:16Z ♥ 0

Damn, that's hard! The words just come flowing out. Fun idea and good link to the theme, nicely done!

Alphabet Cereal by kakarotsan 2017-12-05T15:46:05Z ♥ 0

Hey, just a heads up: your macOS and Linux links are pointing to the Windows download.

Kittychaos by larkinia 2017-12-05T15:35:29Z ♥ 3

That took a turn for the gruesome as I started devouring mice left and right with that gore sound effect. Started off so cute but it's real life, yo. And what is wrong with that girl that she keeps bringing in food for the mice and things that will kill me? This is some dystopian stuff. Nicely done.

StarAway by frogcheese 2017-08-22T10:05:50Z ♥ 1

The innovation theme is often a bit meaningless but for this entry it is very relevant. Very nicely executed game with a good feel and mechanics. Well done.

Zone Slayer by mmason 2017-08-11T17:19:20Z ♥ 0

Having made a NES emulator myself (quite a while ago now) I feel compelled to say that (arbitrary) rotation of sprites was of course not supported and you probably have way too many sprites on screen at once at times (max 64 8x8 or 8x16 blocks, no more than 8 of those on the same scanline) and I won't even get into the limits imposed by 1/4 scale attribute tables, which contained the upper 2 bits of the palette indexes to use for 4x4 blocks of tiles, oh, and did you use 8x8 tiles? etc etc etc,… but let's not get too picky.

Anyway, old games sometimes had clunky controls but I think adhering more closely to 8-bit standards and having only 4 directions to point in, maybe 8 with pre-rendered rotated sprites, and increasing the move speed by at least a factor of 2 or 3, would have made the game better and be more authentic to boot.

That said, you went for a consistent style and delivered a good retro+ game with good accompanying music and sounds.

When the world goes to hell, I'll be here playing Video Games. by Will Walters 2017-08-08T09:11:39Z ♥ 1

The pointlessness of it all (game, situation) was well conveyed. Nicely done.

Trials of the Vapor Lattice by Overboy 2017-08-07T22:29:52Z ♥ 1

Those hands killed me right quick the first couple of times and then Andross and his cousins show up and things got out of hand from there. Did manage to get to the end and I was thankful that at least there wasn't just an untouchable toilet there. Nice retro+ visual style and audio. Well produced!

LOW BATT by simonhutchinson 2017-08-07T21:58:57Z ♥ 0

This was the first game I tried this LD but forgot to review until now. More of a toy really, but a good one. Cool musical experiment with stylish presentation. Groovy.

Mars Escape by lukethecoder64 2017-08-07T21:55:14Z ♥ 0

If this is a Unity game, could you make a macOS build? Thanks.

Messy Getaway by RattyBloom40 2017-08-07T21:53:57Z ♥ 0

I could go one for a long time with near full gas by slowing down a bit, avoiding cars from behind and siphoning whenever possible. The music loop got on my nerves rather quickly, but the notion of side-siphons is genius and should be a default option on all cars. Like others mentioned, not the most enthralling game play, but I've definitely seen worse. Nice attention to detail too.

Space Rover by wdebowicz 2017-08-07T21:40:58Z ♥ 0

My progression: "Man, that's a lot of post-fx"… "cute robot" … "oooh, day and night cycle with solar charging!" … "hm, what do I do anyway?" "what's MRS-30?" … "I fell down a hole". Cool game. Good mood.

Ultimate Fusion by Thirrash 2017-08-07T21:22:37Z ♥ 1

I didn't really know what to do or if anything I did had any effect, but seeing that gif of a whole bunch of massive atoms circling around I was doing it wrong, clearly. Good thing getting a whole sim out there in 1/2 a day.

Batterime by Hadrien 2017-08-07T21:02:12Z ♥ 3

Nice job having music, effects and a full set of levels in a compo entry. Good consistent style, only quibble is that the jump and nudge to just make it sections were a bit too tight. But I made it. Good work.

Alien Invasion by M2tias 2017-08-07T20:44:52Z ♥ 0

Reminds me of Blaster Master for the NES. Well developed and laid out. Nice one.

PowerMan by someone9999 2017-08-07T20:39:20Z ♥ 2

The game sometimes got a bit confused when using E + arrow up instead of W. Otherwise cute platformer, keep going.

TITAN, Defend Earth before it's too late by MichaelTWG 2017-08-07T20:27:43Z ♥ 1

The alien invaders sure are persistent, and numerous. Cool pixel art and nice overall presentation. Game is a bit thin but certainly not run of the mill. Nice.

Walking out of Power by notke 2017-08-07T20:10:52Z ♥ 1

The brilliance of this game is that it lures fools like me into walking all the way to the end, even _knowing_ that nothing will happen and it will have people like @oxysoft expect big things and then ranting for a while when he is unapologetically betrayed by a ghost toilet facing a piece of chocolate.

Art. Sadistic art, but still art.

Ride Out by Stending 2017-08-07T16:42:05Z ♥ 0

This is a great entry. Not every game needs to be innovative and have monsters and whatnot, some games, like this one, are just great examples of a certain category of games. Music was great, obstacles could have had a bit more contrast vs the background but otherwise fine. This game is great just the way it is. Well done.

I did need a moment afterwards recovering from my brain thinking that everything moved to the left ;)

Battery Leak! by ancient-pixel 2017-08-07T10:47:22Z ♥ 0

Cute little game, good idea to manage power usage manually. Nicely done.

TRIAL OF THE 3 SUNS by Godot35 2017-08-07T10:41:36Z ♥ 0

The left and right controls on a keyboard really threw me there for a bit but I emerged victoriously! Well done.

PowerCubeStationBox™ by NueboMundo 2017-08-07T10:27:49Z ♥ 1

This is brilliant, but after I finished level 1 I had to give up. Best theme/innovation entry this time tho, congrats. Very well executed.

Night of the Unholy by Maximiliam Berggren 2017-08-07T09:46:06Z ♥ 0

Your download links have expired, can't get to the files.

Trap in the dark by azziliz 2017-08-07T09:40:30Z ♥ 1

Reminded me of 90s tile games, cute style.

Heal The Dark Lord! by Coauctor 2017-08-07T09:34:11Z ♥ 1

The art was adorable and excellent, game wise a bit less interesting. Good mood.

Nightmare Mine by Travis Spuller 2017-08-07T09:16:09Z ♥ 0

When trying your web version, it does not start because your server is returning 500 errors for almost all support files.

Night Driver by nbitsstudio 2017-08-07T09:13:41Z ♥ 1

I see that you're using Unity, can you make a macOS build? Thanks.

Scrapjunk Couriers by reBTF 2017-08-07T08:48:13Z ♥ 1

I was not sure exactly what was going on in terms of why I was losing or gaining power but I did like the battle system. More time…

Exo-Stranded by nikteddy92 2017-08-07T08:39:09Z ♥ 0

Looks like a complex game for such a small amount of time. There are a lot of drones and energy drains very quickly so I did not get too far in my couple of tries. Balance it out a bit more and make a post-jam version. It should be good!

Oh, and since you did not make the sounds, please disable voting for Audio.

Into The Darkness by ProgrammingDimension 2017-08-07T08:29:03Z ♥ 1

Got to 90 seconds which is probably very close to the maximum. Main issue I have is that there is no skill aspect to the game, it's essentially luck if you run into enough batteries. Of course, that there is no win state is also sort of a feature. I'm DOOMED no matter what I try. Nice.

Fuse Cell by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2017-08-07T08:22:20Z ♥ 0

Excellent level, visuals and music. Very well rounded. Great work!

The Torches Are Burning Low by Didactylos 2017-08-05T14:54:16Z ♥ 0

Cute, if very unforgiving. Nice retro style but even in native code there is some slowdown here and there interestingly. Nice style and design.

Sarlacc Dungeon by luthwyhn 2017-08-05T14:37:08Z ♥ 1

Good little diversion, esp. for 1 day. Art is well, art. Would be good to know how far along I am to the exit so I can feel some excitement or dread based on my current health, etc.

Batteries in the Dungeon by DerpyJish 2017-08-05T14:25:55Z ♥ 2

Nice entry, was it really a Jam entry or did you finish in the weekend? Since you made all the art yourself you may have qualified for the compo. Having a randomly generated dungeon with monsters, multiple weapons and all that is quite the achievement for your first jam ever.

Don't forget to rate other games so your game will end up being rated by others as well! It's a good game, don't let it be buried.

Soporific: A Bedtime Story by paracatgames 2017-08-04T20:44:00Z ♥ 2

A negotiation game but then with hopefully not boring storylines. Great cohesion of art and voices and overall feel.

And to ask based on your input on my entry, you mentioned left and right stopped your motion, have not been able to replicate, if you have a chance, please let me know which browser/platform you used and if you have any special keyboard layout/config. Thanks! (Sorry to put this in my comment here, but this site will not notify you of mentions, so…)

HE BEAT HER. by Angela He 2017-08-04T20:24:03Z ♥ 1

That is some amazing art and music produced over a weekend. I am seriously jealous. Got to figure most of it out with just a little help ;) Bravo.

My Dream by Local Minimum 2017-08-04T19:30:06Z ♥ 0

Interesting interactive fiction. It felt like reading a living poem and fit well with the theme. Nice.

BRAINZ ARE POWER by iovorobiev 2017-08-04T19:10:31Z ♥ 1

Some bugs here and there but overall a fun and clever idea with a great theme connection. Visuals and sound effects were funny. Great little title.

Gravity Assist by pklaschka 2017-08-04T19:05:58Z ♥ 1

Finished the 3 levels after some experimentation and got 6,480,000 points with 50% energy left. The music got a bit on my nerves after a while but otherwise a well executed game.

Jetpack June and the Tower of Power by geeitsomelaldy 2017-08-04T11:45:57Z ♥ 1

It got a bit too "I wanna be the guy" for me with all the spikes and traps and reloads and all, but this is a very impressive entry. Good work.

Shadow Lurkers by nusan 2017-08-04T11:36:50Z ♥ 0

Hi, can you make a macOS build?

Tales of a Hamster: A Clickable Journey by 0uicmoi 2017-08-04T11:34:01Z ♥ 2

Cute hamsters. I mostly let it run in the BG and was thankful clicking was only really needed in a few sections. Did get 6/6 achievements tho. Nice one.

Gradient Descent by Zelos 2017-08-04T09:51:46Z ♥ 0

Once again a wonderful game / experience, I really liked Colorfly and this was an improvement on it in several ways. Great soothing music and feel, kind of the opposite of what I went with. Excellent.

TrappedWithAI9000 by werlar 2017-08-04T09:17:47Z ♥ 0

Pretty good, I can indeed continue moving after falling into a trap but the basic mechanics and feel of a shooty platformer are there. I felt the pressure a few times when bullets are flying etc.

One thing though: the noise sample when you start if WAAAAAY too loud, I had to turn down my volume to the absolute minimum and my ears kind of hurt afterwards.

PoweRL by Steve Johnson 2017-08-04T09:06:14Z ♥ 1

This was quite a bit more strategic than I thought. First I was just gunning for the exits but quickly learned to path out a good way along the powerups. Those butterflies are bastards though. They surround you and quickly kill you. Good one!

Run Ning out of Power, Montana by jekstrom 2017-08-03T17:00:36Z ♥ 0

It was my great desire that someone would make a game where you're running until there is a sign that says "Now leaving Power, [random US state]" and then you would win, but this is pretty close, pun wise and a fun game too. 230 points, ran that bastard out of town.

LD39 - Runner Clone by LogFlames 2017-08-03T16:54:06Z ♥ 0

Speed the whole thing up by 2x and you've got a nice thing going on here!

Sparkman Adventures by Lamm 2017-08-03T16:48:53Z ♥ 1

Nicely done first game. Handling collisions well is always tricky, so don't worry if you didn't get them exactly right first time. Forgot I had a weapon until I read a comment here, see of it as a hard mode :)

The P.U.R.G.E. Protocol by hhsaez 2017-08-03T16:40:50Z ♥ 1

I like the notion of a culture where each life is valued not by merit or capabilities, but knowledge of arbitrary trivia.

The Last by Vija02 2017-08-03T16:20:23Z ♥ 1

May try this again later as I need to optimise my movements more but great mood and setup, especially for a compo entry. Very nice.

ABANDON SHIP by attrition 2017-08-03T16:08:38Z ♥ 1

Nicely done, you have to make some strategic decisions and think fast. Little bug in the counting of bodies, I escaped the last level with 1 crew still there and that wasn't counted as a death. Great entry!

MOTHER by Kakureta 2017-08-03T16:00:40Z ♥ 1

Some odd bugs and the slow charging + gating puzzles make this a bit less than it could be, but a cool concept you should continue exploring!

Meltdown by Sarrixx 2017-08-03T15:49:13Z ♥ 0

Can you make a macOS build?

Overshadowed Road by ZoeAgxn 2017-08-03T15:47:59Z ♥ 0

Not sure what happens when the lights go green but good compo concept.

Flask of Destruction by Melowicyan 2017-08-03T15:43:47Z ♥ 0

I had a few occasions where there was "No fight" when I picked some monsters and then they were gone and other things were also not completely clear to me, but I got about half way. Nice oldschool graphics and sound.

Firepower by akai_0okami 2017-08-03T15:37:40Z ♥ 1

Hard but not undoable, nice simple platformer with energy used for 2 disparate purposes. Nice.

E.M.P. by TheMadStrauss 2017-08-01T21:33:12Z ♥ 1

The extreme pixelation makes it a bit hard to see what is going on, but otherwise a fine adventure-style game with a disincentive to mesh every combination of objects together with the power level. Because of that it would have been fine to carry more than one item, though. Good entry.

Every Light Goes Out by sbeif 2017-08-01T21:14:11Z ♥ 3

I think LD is a good place for experiments like these. It worked well enough in my dark room with my phone light acting as the light source, but holding a phone, navigating with WASD and seeing what's going on was a bit clunky. Would be good to make a quick post-compo version with more traditional means of a light switch, but I applaud cool experiments like these!

A Small World . . . or is it? by gamerjenn 2017-05-19T15:32:41Z ♥ 1

Shark could have been up to 3x faster. Nice presentation, maybe some enemies/obstacles next time?

SmallRTS by MaxguN 2017-05-18T15:47:23Z ♥ 0

I just put everything at max and then win, any other setting made me lose so far. I also hit the stack overflow error sadly. Nicely done even though I don't really do anything in the game.

Gravity Does Not Work That Way by karln 2017-05-18T15:30:56Z ♥ 1

Charming little game with amusing sounds (except for the fire-guys…) and it has an ending too! Nicely done.

Attack on Smolwurld by smiley 2017-05-18T15:19:31Z ♥ 0

Got 15600 points. I avoided the lightning bolts but now see that I shouldn't have. Oh well. Nicely put together and complete experience.

smallworld by misterstripey 2017-05-18T15:13:24Z ♥ 1

Good style. The stage is indeed a bit too small to really work. Good one.

100% Infected by Jackson Frankland 2017-05-18T15:09:02Z ♥ 1

The sound effect was… jarring. Would like the encounters to be a bit more frequent and perhaps speed a bit higher.

Stunt Pilot by alobker 2017-05-18T14:58:24Z ♥ 0

Not too shabby. The birds quickly become an insurmountable challenge but the concept is nicely worked out and the goal is clear. Nice.

Chill Bill by drtizzle 2017-05-09T18:57:44Z ♥ 0

Will just echo the comments about balancing, etc. Good art, creative idea with good theme fit. Nice touch to have the drinking cutscene be faster every time. Good entry!

Dung Beetle by Louspirit 2017-05-09T18:49:35Z ♥ 3

Also felt the ball was bouncing off of the beetle more than me actually moving it around. Had to rage-quit at the wind level, sorry. Good idea with good theme fit. Nice beetle model and good overall package. BTW: works fine on my 2013 iMac 27" at highest quality levels.

Astromike by mikea 2017-05-06T17:11:53Z ♥ 1

Great visual style and animations, clearly. The levels themselves, while they work well as a series to introduce new things were a bit uninspired on their own (but that's a common issue with so little time.) Getting killed (and thus having to redo) the last level quite a few times due to twitch movements necessary with almost turn based controls was a bit irksome. Due to the slow movement of the character, it's perhaps good to have an in-level checkpoint as well. Still, nice work.

Again, excellent work by Marco Vale. For 3 days time that is amazing work. 👍

Finally, I would opt out of the "humor" category as it does not really seem to apply to this game.

Quest Island by bentglasstube 2017-05-06T16:50:30Z ♥ 1

I would not call that a small world but it was nice enough bumping around. Found 2 items and got 2 torches but then I believe I hit the content limit. Nice generated world.

Walkabout by Galan 2017-05-06T16:40:19Z ♥ 1

Liked the cardboard cutout-like props, felt like I was in a stage play on a very long stage ;) Nice take on theme as well. Not much going on but that was the point I believe. Transitions were nicely done too.

World Jump by stefvanschie 2017-05-06T16:19:46Z ♥ 0

The programmer graphics and somewhat unpolished game logic suggest that this should be an also-ran LD entry with nothing much going on but… It works. The graphics become charming, the rewards are cute and the music is really excellent. The music is by far the best part of the game and what pulls it all together. I got top scores (>2400) in all levels :) Brilliant.

Fat Rat by GameAttack 2017-05-06T15:56:35Z ♥ 1

Cute rat model and nice little touches all around. Good.

Colorfly by Zelos 2017-05-01T18:41:51Z ♥ 2

Great experiential game with visuals and music that complement each other nicely. Bit of a dud that it ends in my (inevitable?) demise but hey. Also, and if I need to nitpick like this you know the entry is good, but it would really finish the game if the sound effects were properly tuned to the music playing. Esp in the autoscroller levels the sound of the tree blooming is off-key. Anyway, great entry with excellent music. No moist textures but you can't win 'em all.

By the way, the initial organ-y + piano section in front of the planets reminded me of the scenes in Final Fantasy 4 where you watch scenes in space. Similar music and vibe, the tenor sample in the end brought back memories of the Opera House in Final Fantasy 6 and BGM01 gave me Zelda: OoT memories. Nice.

Do you have a link to any of your other work? Much obliged. I have listened to the track "Sidescroll" several times now and it really is very good, the best in this game I think, once the bass line and drums are added I am reminded of tracks from Chrono Trigger (on the SNES). One minor niggle I have about it is that the strings in the beginning of the track sound a bit MIDI-y or something, not sure what it is, though later in the track that is less apparent. Anyway, again, great work!

Abaddon by Geckoo1337 2017-05-01T13:16:28Z ♥ 3

I have to ask, did you make all the sfx, models, music, etc. yourself? If so, then that is an amazing achievement. If not, consider opting out of the respective voting categories.

BTW, I have to ask because the whole product looks very nice, so I hope you take it as a compliment ;)

If you modelled it yourself, which modelling software do you use? Mostly curious.

Assuming you made the game with Unity, can you also make a macOS build available? Thanks in advance.

Room 51 by smbe19 2016-12-28T17:50:00

Walking speed was a bit slow (a common problem with LD games) but otherwise well developed adventure. The key layout never really made sense to me but luckily there is no punishment for doing the wrong thing. Good show.

What we carry with us by LandoSystems 2016-12-28T17:18:00

I think I lost the plot in scene 2, a grown-up toilet? Gameplay is rather busy-work-y but there is a certain charm to it all.

Oscar's chamber of darkness by nilead 2016-12-28T17:06:00

I timed out in the bucket room and had to restart completely, which I will do later on, it was a bit disheartening. Interesting drawn + realistic visual style. Creative visuals of a scary version of a normal house. Good work.

Tomb Room by popogames 2016-12-28T16:36:00

The cheap deaths are fine as the game is short I think. I honestly do not know what to do with the levers, it looks like I need to guide something down a rail to the proper icon on the floor or something but I'm stuck. Great visual style and good entry overall. Nice work.

Remote Operations Team - Tactical Extraction Action by HuvaaKoodia 2016-12-28T15:50:00

Those final sheep were the end of me. Funny setup and nicely worked out, esp. for 48h. Well done.

Floor is Lava by RedPanda 2016-12-28T15:31:00

It's that you wrote in the comments that jumping from the TV to the bookcase would work because I had given up :) Got both levels quickly after that. Nice set design and visuals.Indeed very short but a fun diversion. Congrats on finishing.

ROOM ZERO by dv49 2016-12-28T15:03:00

I don't get much further than about 15 points. Solid visual feel, too bad there's no sound. Good.

Non Euclidean Room by NuSan 2016-12-28T14:45:00

Mac version works great (macOS 10.12.2) Fun how the chiptune music and sfx have to remind me that this is a compo entry and not a Jam one! Very well done. I thought the pencil scribble overlay would get on my nerves but it surprisingly didn't. The portals work seamlessly. Should I do something once I find all 8 spots? Great entry.

Bedroom Horrors by muzuka 2016-12-28T12:29:00

Read here that you cannot lose after I suspected and verified that in the game indeed :) I liked the set of drawers, funny sound and blocky horror model. Controls are very sensitive. Not bad.

Recursion by KaiseanGames 2016-12-28T12:14:00

Played the web version. By complete chance my semi-random clicking on the lever puzzle yielded the correct solution on the first try, which was a bit confusing. I confirmed by pressing H on the next round that I had done the right thing.

As with another puzzle entry the best puzzles were the earlier ones, although the very first one was a bit arbitrary. The figure out the 3-digit code one was the most developed one and the box puzzle was the least developed, which is probably normal as you were probably scrambling to get things done by the end.

Nice basic aesthetic and the music fits the tone. Cool entry. I made a puzzle entry as well, curious what you think of it.

RoomEscapeEscape by ijona 2016-12-22T22:27:00

That's some high art sheet going down here. I liked the stark visual style of the room(s).

The Coldest Cabin by Brian Mayberry 2016-12-22T21:58:00

The little chopper that couldn't… even with the hidden stash of 2 extra rations, my white vision victory is rudely interrupted by me dying. Oh well, I earned my one achievement in this game I wanted: falling off the edge of the earth.

Good work for a compo entry, great style and visual setup, curious how far you would've come with one more day!

Doors? NO! by pi_pi3 2016-12-21T17:17:00

I still had the assets/shader.json not found error. Had to prepend the result of `love.filesystem.getSourceBaseDirectory()` to both files loaded. Then I had to remove the GL_ARB_gpu_shader5 extension: enable line. While this is supported on macOS, Lua does not seem to enable the core GL profile in its setup. It was also unnecessary, nothing in that shader requires it.

So with it it running I was mostly left moving around in a Cthulhian room with a cube in it. Not sure if I'm supposed to do anything? Points for original use of the theme though. I didn't get much farther mentally than "uh, a single room?" Nice.

Tower of Bees! by Mack101dog 2016-12-21T16:26:00

Good level and art design. Please disable voting for Audio in your entry as there is none. Make the bees move more erratically / aggressively to make them less like cannon fodder. :) Nice one.

Quest of the Wizard by Linear (Cinderflame Studios) 2016-12-21T16:13:00

Presentationally this is up there with great entries, but there are many bugs, mostly of the collision kind (falling through floors, things moving through walls, etc.). Also I am completely stuck with only 2 orbs and the/a life expansion in my possession. I would really hope you can expand on this, fixing some issues and perhaps clarifying some more stuff. This has potential to be an awesome 90s PC title. Great work.

Final Boss by Karai17 2016-12-21T15:20:00

Great presentation, modelling, etc, but the game is too hard. I don't think anyone will complain if you upload a slightly modified version where the boss has about 1/2 to 1/4 of its current HP and where its attacks are equally nerfed.

Unwelcome by Louspirit 2016-12-21T10:55:00

I went around the ship many a time but I can't find the motherboard, only those pink cards that don't seem to be able to be used? Puzzling. Having the many jelly-bellies line up outside patiently was funny as it felt like I was some kind of government institution. Funny call audio.

Toy Robot : The Room Defender by Rixud 2016-12-20T20:08:00

Nicely done. I do hope that, given your climate, this game was not made based on personal experience. Anyway, got 775, those roaches got nothing on me. Keep learning and practicing, you're doing great!

You Have Till 8 by JesseyCool 2016-12-20T18:11:00

Cute little game that worked fine from beginning to end. Given the solution I'm not sure if either the first or last digits have clues so I went through 'em all :) Atmosphere is good. Even though there's a time limit, the whole experience was rather calming, nice. Well done.

Demi Dojo by LifeAbstract 2016-12-20T17:56:00

The app folder contents are severely broken (duplicated, missing and otherwise broken files). Please clean your output folder and create a new build, this one will never work.

Super Battle Cycle by PowerSpark 2016-12-20T16:03:00

You took a difficult challenge getting all the rotations and physics to work in such a small viewport and mostly you succeeded, applause. The controls take quite some getting used to but that's in character for a Gameboy game. While not flawless, for a 48h timeframe you got quite a lot right for such a complicated setup. Nice.

One room away from success by Gulyasarni66 2016-12-19T23:31:00

Good complete game with tones of Undertale indeed. The 1st puzzle was the best one really, should have put that one last. Odd atmosphere, well done! Another puzzle lover :)

Ludum Dare 38 by FiloGC 2016-12-19T22:45:00

Presentation is clean and effective. Sound is typical 48h fare but it kind of fit the whole thing. Got 460. Nice good showing.

Maggie's Grinning Soul by Diplodino 2016-12-19T22:37:00

Very nice coordinated visuals and sound. The incremental discovery sometimes was a bit arbitrary but that is hard to avoid in a single space and with 3 days time. The accents on the voiceovers gave it an extra charm. Very good team effort, 8 people are a lot to coordinate in such a short time frame.

Oh, and I always knew that [CENSORED] was evil.

levelone by dietzribi 2016-12-19T21:38:00

Slow clap. That was a brilliant experience. This is better than most Jam entries. Funny, to the point and doesn't outstay its welcome. Bravo.

scape the room by loudrasiel 2016-12-19T14:30:00

Be sure to add a link directly to your .jar so people can try it! Few will download or even look at the source. I'll look at this one a bit later when I'm on a computer with a Java runtime.

Zomploder by TechXSoftware 2016-12-19T11:15:00

OK, I have to admit that I only spent a short time actually playing the game. Seemed good indeed for compo but on web the keys indeed did not work (don't have a Windows machine here, can you export a macOS version?)

Anyway, instead I took a cue from your screenshot and had the room fill to the brim with zombies to see what would happen. Amazingly, Unity's physics solver can hold a ridiculous overload of objects inside the room and only at this point:

https://zenmumbler.net/bugs/zomboverload1.png

did it eject the first zombie. At this time the zombie horde was already a green undulating mess with zombie meat squished together in horrific ways. It was only once it got to the 1 fps simulation rate that it really started throwing out suckas, one at a time.

https://zenmumbler.net/bugs/zomboverload2.png

So, in short. Great game :) I had fun.

Welcome Back by yeknomerif 2016-12-19T10:40:00

Humorous enough for a text adventure. A bit of a cliché to do the whole loop thing but hey. Thank the good green earth that I didn't have to type hundreds of commands, esp. after I burned the place down and had to start over. Only once though. I'm a quick study.

The 16th Bit by reheated 2016-12-19T10:09:00

The cryptic hints were a bit too out there for me but luckily you can just click on every game till you hit the right one. Nice tile game, got stuck on the one in your screenshot but worked well. Fun setup and usage of theme. Nice.

What happened to Michael? by BubsyPoochies 2016-12-18T23:20:00

Got stuck in the 2nd cycle where Dennis just said "Not now" to everything except the CDs but that did not become a talking point with the mother. I may have missed something? Nice idea, but perhaps a bit too complex for the jam to really flesh out.

Pollock Rush by Cole and Jordan Studios 2016-12-18T22:39:00

Have not played it (no Windows machine) but that description is worth something by itself. Gold star.

Sam's Room by Linus123xbb 2016-12-18T22:37:00

Feel like the start of something bigger indeed, but good on ya for getting it out there.

One Room Personality Test by columhiggins 2016-12-18T22:01:00

Interesting runtime, would hesitate to call this a game but eh. The colour scheme is perhaps a bit obvious as to their meaning. Photos were rather low quality. I did like that in the interpretation phase, it was suddenly several hours later as evidenced by the sunlight.

SkyCorridor by acotis 2016-12-18T21:44:00

The hitbox is about 2x as wide as the character and sometimes keys did not immediately respond. E.g. if I hit left, I have to hit right twice to actually make stickman go right again. Not sure why but these two combined made it very hard to get beyond the first trap after the window, so that's as far as I got. Nice old school MIDI tune. ;)

DISK by Kuality Games 2016-12-18T21:37:00

Good basic mechanic as foundation. Nice to use ricochet to overcome single room limitation. Nicely modelled and animated enemies. Good.

Tilty Room by redzero 2016-12-16T23:38:00

For its simple looks, it deftly uses rotations of the level in a stylish way including th win screen, nicely done. Mood is enhanced by appropriate music and sounds. Very nice.

RoomLops Cleaning by Dejvo 2016-12-16T23:24:00

I win! Web version seemed to work fine? Good for a giggle, this one. Muddy mice feet are hilarious. Cute style and well done.

Room Zero by g12345 2016-12-16T23:19:00

Hey, it works. First thought collisions were off with enemies but they take time. Add an ending screen at the end and it's a modern game. With the single room and style I'm getting Atari 2600 vibes, which is fun.

Gravity Heroes by HugoStudica 2016-12-16T23:15:00

I could not get the hang of the controls in their various orientations. I instinctively tried to use rotation triangles of WASD based on my orientation. Maybe make an option for that control scheme? Cool pixel art and excellent MegaMan 5/6 like music.

Escape One Room by Tangent128 2016-12-16T23:06:00

This was a good laugh. Entertaining use of the theme. Ace graphics. Had no troubles. I want a confused pet from 67M years ago now.

Roach Escape by Ithildin 2016-12-16T22:46:00

Put some polkadots on it and it's a ladybug (ladyroach?) Cute little game, like Chu Chu Rocket without the Chu Chus. This needs some music love and some nice sound effects.

Room of Fear by Alexandr Lisnic 2016-12-16T22:26:00

I won. This would work well as a twin stick shooter. At first I used stuff sparingly but when I realised you can put traps down infinitely I won pretty fast. Add a few different movement strategies to the monsters (circling around, running in bursts, etc.) Nice style and background sounds.

Dethroned by Devastus 2016-12-16T16:48:00

Great sounds and music that fit the game well. I'm fascinated by the process that has me hit a completely arbitrary and wrong arrow key when defending much more then when attacking. Maybe it is the zoom effect when they approach that triggers some sort of panic? I miss defence about 80% of the time vs 10% for attacks. Great feel, good entry.

While I'm here, thanks for looking Callisto earlier, hope I can persuade you to have another look now that I've fixed the graphical issues it had earlier. Thanks!

Hikikomori by WarmLemon 2016-12-16T16:04:00

How do I get my dad/elder brother out of the room? He just rotates and moves a bit and then I lose. Otherwise quite funny game, nicely done. Gave me a good laugh. Thanks!

Cervidae by GarethIW 2016-12-16T00:18:00

Surreal experience where I'm more the facilitator than the player, but nicely executed using the stage sets, weather effects. Cool.

The Giant Room by admicos 2016-12-16T00:10:00

Odd experience. Not sure what all the books and dollar coins were for but I think I got all of 'em.

Last in Time by lonesurvivor 2016-12-16T00:01:00

I got a few items but then got stuck, there's a metal attachment point on a tree in the lower part that seems to mean something but is non-interactive. The graphical style and music fit well together. The tone of the writing is a bit random, the first few lines are all "oh, the drama" and then she's wisecracking about skeletons and graves. Nice entry.

SpaceGirl by earthcollapse 2016-12-15T23:46:00

For your first game together this nothing to be ashamed of, nicely balanced simple game with a clear mechanic. I succeeded on my 3rd try. Nice and upbeat. The flaming inferno was a bit abstract but hey. Nice work.

The ONE Room by Fiote/Phanx 2016-12-15T23:38:00

If this entry had (good) sound it would be really good, now it's just very good :) Amazingly accomplished roguelike with cute pixel art and a real UI and all that. Very nice. I got to level 5 with Vivi, I mean the wizard.

Ask Her by Sorak86 2016-12-15T23:16:00

Although I got to the ending, there are still a few things unclear to me. Can't really ask about them here though due to potential spoilers but if you can put a text doc online at some point giving the basic story that would be great!
Anyway, nice idea and a not-too-annoying text parser, which is a win. Nice one.

BossRoom by benjim 2016-12-15T22:48:00

Cute style, but indeed not the most memorable experience. Having no win condition is appropriate though. It is the fate of the boss to be taken and then just do it again and again. Thanks to this submission we know that VG characters exist in a perpetual, unescapable hell. Good.

Moving Dungeon Room by szahn 2016-12-15T22:40:00

I won! Good to see others interested in working directly with WebGL. Indeed, this game is not the most fascinating, but it was fine and it has an ending. For 1 day, not too shabby. Maybe increase the torch radius by a teensy bit, though :)

Smallest Dungeon by Reuno 2016-12-15T22:34:00

Total chaos. I clicked to do some special attacks but I'm not sure I helped my poor heroes much in the end. The presentation, art and music are top-notch.

Just One More Room by Tommy 2016-12-15T22:23:00

The dungeon tiles were very classic Final Fantasy, nice. My weapon was different the first time I tried this than the 2nd, is that correct? First was a red long distance thing, the 2nd a brown short distance sword. Bit too grindy for me, but good idea and nice theme usage.

Lily's Adventure by resty 2016-12-15T22:07:00

Cute game with nice idea of dragging around your own entrance to new world. I think I was invincible though, 2nd ghost-boss I missed a jump and got hit but nothing happened. I of course made use of this by just spamming hits without worries. ;)

Put the Loot Back by bebo 2016-12-15T21:21:00

Nice attack patterns, quite hard but doable. Nicely done! Graphics were good too, don't worry about 'em.

Obelisk by Almax27 2016-12-15T20:37:00

Nice style and visuals that remind me of titan souls. If the enemies had a stun animation or other feedback when they get hit it would feel more connected I think, right now they just hop away as I slash them. Nice go.

Gogol by BeardyBard 2016-12-15T20:23:00

Given more control over my jumps (height and in-jump movement) I would have had much more success I think. Nice style and cool looking eye-slimes.

Lock and reload by Avant-Marde 2016-12-15T14:57:00

I'm thinking the descriptions on the cards has something to do with the shapes of digits? I'm stuck … Very nice visual style with half-tone (duo-tone?) filter. Good movement sounds that seem ambient sounds. Good atmosphere.

Anyway, maybe a little hint? :)

HourGlass Collector by skorpyo 2016-12-15T14:23:00

Nice take on the theme with upbeat music and simple play style. Finished and died 14 times, mostly at the mouse section. Very nice!

Carlander by tayl1r 2016-12-14T12:54:00

Chaotic, almost managed to win once, but the suface is made of ice or something :) Good initial idea that I feel needs another thing to be complete. Good that your AI manages to stay within bound though, well done. Was probably very fidgety to get right.

Needle in a Neighborhood by Budaniel 2016-12-14T12:47:00

While I would not call roaming around in a mostly empty world "endless replayability" it was fine for what it was but I stopped after 2/10 houses. Maybe add in ambient story text that is told/presented as you walk around? Why am I looking for this needle, who lives here? etc.

DOOMTANK by djfariel 2016-12-14T12:36:00

Good mood through the audio, visuals and overall play style. Good use of theme with changing layout. Very well conceived.

eCubed³ by flwns 2016-12-14T12:25:00

Stylistically cool. Mechanic is nice but levels are a bit linear to really use it fully, but that is not out of place for LD. Nice.

One Room - 30 minutes earlier by wowa_u 2016-12-14T12:11:00

Good art. I like the idea of controlling the discussion to lead to victory but it felt a bit too much like trial and error. Gave it a couple of tries but didn't intuit the right way to save 'em all.

Local Exhibition by kiv 2016-12-14T11:59:00

Nice idea with cute little touches everywhere. Like the awkward descriptions of everything. Nice and surreal.

Bruce, the escaping ant by pcmxms 2016-12-14T11:46:00

Nice little obstacle course with a good soundtrack. Controls are a bit clunky and I got stuck on some inopportune moments. Overall good job.

Room 007 by Lancelot Gao 2016-12-14T11:31:00

Very stylish and good concept for this theme. Nice work.

Spellbound by ijzm 2016-12-14T11:20:00

I got stuck at the part where you light the torches. I believe I got them all burning but not all had a light glow around them, so maybe it failed to register? This was the web version btw.

The music makes the game, very SNES-like. Adding the jukebox therefore was a good choice! Gameplay is mostly a lot of walking around but all together it was good. Well done.

Ancient Mystery by ccegeadamcc 2016-09-14T09:31:00

As for the macOS builds, never distribute them as RAR, as rar files do not preserve unix permissions of files so your main binary becomes inert. Please distribute using e.g. zip or really any format that is not RAR.

The Temple of Sharaab by RGB Games 2016-09-13T15:40:00

Hadn't seen an Unreal WebGL game yet. Looks pretty good actually on Safari TechPreview. Your macOS link points nowhere I'm afraid so I can't check the native edition. Was it intended that the character starts swimming in the 3rd level / cave?

Dungeon Runes by Corinator 2016-09-12T16:39:00

Nice one, I cursed the step animation many times for plunging me into a hole because I was off the platform 1/2 a sec earlier than expected but otherwise a solid entry.

The Tomb by Jacksendary 2016-09-12T16:06:00

WebGL version worked fine for me and I used the age-old method of always tracing the left wall, found a skull wand but then got clobbered by some pharaoh-beast. Not bad, but consider that if 2 of your screenshots are essentially black rectangles then your game is too dark ;)

Through Oneself by Omiya Games 2016-04-27T16:20:00

Cool idea. The various layers and how they inverted visibility was a bit disorienting but I got through in the end. Nice.

Squishy's Escape by owyoow 2016-04-27T13:18:00

I could forgive the slow respawns and the dick move just-out-of-sight spikes/water under a breakable block thing, but limited lives? Not for me. Besides that it controls well, is nicely animated and well put together.

Now you're not thinkin' with portals by a3tra3rpi 2016-04-27T13:08:00

Cool idea that is mostly marred by the fact that getting these complex physics puzzles working well usually takes a ton of tweaking and in a Jam there is not enough time for that. I stopped in the level with the red holes as ladders spawned and regardless of distance flew into the holes like magnets.

Still, excellent concept playing on the whole Portal scheme.

Stay Frosty by taviandir 2016-04-27T12:47:00

Good implementation of a platformer. I also encountered no direct movement / collision bugs which is a rare thing. Well done.

Morphling by SecondDimension 2016-04-27T12:38:00

Very well crafted. Little bug in the game I think: you can use space or up for jumping but space does not work for wall jumps, only up does.

Dark Moon by MistySoulsGames 2016-04-25T23:23:00

It looks a bit like the title screen got more love than the game itself. The title screen is very nice.

The Facility by rynti 2016-04-25T23:07:00

Got to level 7 and died left it at that. Simple but effective control scheme and level design. Nice

Virgin Blood by bogdan.tana 2016-04-25T23:01:00

Cute, could use a bit more leeway with bat-energy and guard fov. Nicely done.

Fast Dungeon by Andreas Brandt 2016-04-25T22:50:00

The A and space bar keys are spread out just far enough to be uncomfortable. When going through a gate the character keeps moving so if you jump or move you usually move into spikes and having to grind for a few mins before you can play the game for real is a bit of a chore.

High quality animation and drawings.

If you didn't make the audio it's recommended to disable voting for it (no mention of audio author in your credits).

Labyrinth by milgar 2016-04-25T22:35:00

Good first go. Similar entry to mine, hope you get to finish next time.

Sesquipedalian: Anomaly Reborn by Huginn18 2016-04-25T22:29:00

Better scoping luck next time.

Skepnadsskifte by decker108 2016-04-25T22:26:00

Insta-death spikes in tight jumps combined with a floaty cube cause some frustrations. Nice audio.

Lycanthrope by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-04-25T22:19:00

Getting a "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: biz/boulter/lycanthrope/Game : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0" on Mac OS X 10.11 with the JRE 8.

This Dungeon Is Alive by sndr 2016-04-25T22:16:00

Covered the walls in lipstick, couldn't find the book. Creative use of the theme. Made it feel a bit like the "Inside Jabu Jabu's Belly" stage from Zelda 64. Well done.

Doodle Dungeon by Pavel M. Dlouhý 2016-04-22T20:44:00

Though movement was a bit slow and the floaty light lagged behind me mostly I found the combination of music, visuals and everything quite soothing. It felt like it was an actual game from the era of these kinds of games… including *cough*the fake walls*cough*.

If you want a spookier (but unfinished) version of the same concept, give my entry a try ;)

Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again by Idkfawin32 2016-04-22T09:32:00

Looks like a voxel-renderer, nicely made. Next time reuse this renderer and make a full game! I dig the old-school look.

Incognito by Togimaro 2016-04-21T19:36:00

Good atmosphere and levels. Solid entry. Good.

Martian Metamorphing Monster Mutants by Krammetje 2016-04-21T19:07:00

For some reason I need to log in to google to even see the file list. Can you make it available for all?

Code Shift by MikeTheWayne 2016-04-21T19:06:00

Works fine on OS X 10.11 with Java 8 Runtime. The UI weirdness aside (a lot of text just runs out of its bounding box) and general awkwardness it's not a bad thing. But (like me) overscoped :) Good effort.

ChickenMan by meisterfuu 2016-04-21T18:54:00

Nice mashup of various mechanics but some weird collision checks and other bugs (e.g. I walked onto a gravity inverter and it just disappeared like a pick-up) prevented me from finishing. But good effort.

RGB Escape by Mieeh 2016-04-21T18:45:00

Nicely done. Control layout was a bit awkward but otherwise good and well.

Funkenstein's Monster by Bored 2016-04-21T16:38:00

If I try to get the file from your itch page, it gets stuck loading a donation lightbox.
Please don't put LD games behind a paywall, even an optional one.

Slicer by GoudaGames 2016-04-21T16:23:00

Interesting idea but the levels start way too quickly and it's rather complicated to position things. You can only increase the difficulty once people are used to the controls and concept.

Come Back To Life by guslarsen 2016-04-21T16:15:00

Nice pixel art. I got killed a lot so I just flew all the way to the right, became a human, fell down to the crypt entrance and won the game. Woot.

Untitled-1 by Those 30 Ninjas 2016-04-21T16:07:00

Nicely done with good audio to match. Rotation speed could have been a bit slower as I can spin the thing around at light speed with even small mouse movements. Good!

ShapeShiftGame by XRQTQMWQXNYL 2016-04-21T16:03:00

Better timing luck next time.

Purrr by Farelle 2016-04-21T15:59:00

Guiding animals with rigor mortis around was more enjoyable than I thought. :)

Monkeys on the beach by Linus123xbb 2016-04-21T15:45:00

The frantic camera movements makes this unplayable for me.

Sharpshifter by jonnopon3000 2016-04-21T15:42:00

Nice n retro.

Escape from Clockwork Prison by Tacohej 2016-04-21T15:38:00

Good mood with visuals and music, like Monument Valley. Nice, but short. Well done.

The Experiment by Oliver_MB 2016-04-21T15:27:00

Brilliant.

Anishifts by pyokoanarogue 2016-04-21T15:19:00

Short but sweet.

Morphing Maria by Frozen Fractal 2016-04-21T15:02:00

Having heard the sounds now in Firefox I don't mind they were not present in Safari ;) Very well put together game marrying sokoban and shapeshifting in a great package!

SpeedShape by Darenn 2016-04-20T22:23:00

I had a case of the Wat?s when I played this but it's certainly… unique. Hmm.

The Flying Carplane by ZpeedTube 2016-04-20T22:18:00

Got to 184m by backing up to the beginning of the area and speeding up as much as possible. Also gained 98kmh falling off the track :)
Very simple but hopefully a good exercise.

Mechshift by sumguy67 2016-04-20T22:09:00

Good idea and setup, got a bit of a blaster master vibe from the visuals. The second form's bouncing is rather tricky. Nicely done.

GOLD+SLIME by bibdectrl 2016-04-20T22:05:00

Fun little old school game. Finished it. The totally random movement sometimes blocked off some gold for a long time but it all worked out in the end.

Also, there's no audio so you might want to disable voting for it.

Kenneth Rice: Vampire Detective by GrooveMan 2016-04-20T21:56:00

Nice, finished story and good tone and mood. Well done.

Shape Shuffle by BitDare 2016-04-20T21:30:00

Finished the game before I read I could switch weapons.
The collision detection allowed me to wall jump out of a cave with overhang, which is cool.
Silliness aside, looks like you over-scoped (like I did too) and ended up with something nice but empty. Next time try a bit smaller.

PuzzleShift by KunoNoOni 2016-04-20T21:22:00

The noise-based samples were rather sharp in my earphones. There was diversity and buildup in the game but I couldn't persevere till the end.

LD35: A Shape Odyssey. by blaclegi 2016-04-20T21:09:00

Couldn't load the main jar on MacOS with Java 8 because of a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/ld35/LudumDare35 : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Also, the cutesy do not run jar has "no main manifest attribute" so it doesn't work either.

Blockfall by xandy 2016-04-20T21:00:00

Cute idea. Sort of like the eternal climbers/fallers with phase shifting. Nice.

Tentatively Titled: Tentacle Terroir Terror! by fprawn 2016-04-20T20:56:00

I guess the growing planting is shifting its shape by growing? A bit tenuous but fine. The tentacled thing's animation is nice. I had to use E as the window was centered above where you lock down the mouse so if I click I was taken out of the app. (2560x1440 res)

Speedshifter Ultra by notime4games 2016-04-20T20:50:00

I'm not sure what triggered me getting or not getting the triangle shape, in later levels it was not enabled any more so I could not continue?
Nice style and setup, well done.

Origami Ride by MartinFernandez 2016-04-20T20:43:00

The viewport of the version on GameJolt has its UI cut off and I can't start it.

react! by Delicious Code 2016-04-20T20:40:00

I'll try again later, I could honestly not tell if my input was being handled.

Neon Shifter by anshulsinghxd 2016-04-20T20:38:00

Not sure why the bullets were needed as catching shapes should be sufficient. I guess as a last resort. The mood set by the music is casual but it's actually a quite mentally taxing, fast-paced game. I like the idea though.

Wizard Fight by LeftRight92 2016-04-19T20:58:00

Didn't really play as I was by myself but was impressed with the sophistication and presentation. Very nice.

Staff of Life by Fartenko 2016-04-19T17:44:00

Thanks for this game, it gave me a good laugh. Nice titan boss and presentation. Cool!

Pluto's Tears by kestrelgames 2016-04-19T17:06:00

Hi, thanks for rating and commenting on Squirm, since responding on the same page is as useful as shouting at a lake: I've now enabled the innovation category.

Fluffy the Porcupine Saves the World by iapc 2016-04-19T16:58:00

A bit random but amusing nonetheless.

Chamane by Spotline 2016-04-19T16:50:00

This was a very calming and fun experience. I really liked the holistic reaction of the surroundings to the actions of the player. Nice visual style and execution. Excellent.

Dís by AceyT 2016-04-19T16:36:00

Keep it up, better luck next time!

VHS WARS by goodbadokay 2016-04-19T16:14:00

Nice Geometry wars like entry with good mood and feel.

Rock-Paper-Scissors Man by Idorrac 2016-04-19T16:10:00

Hadn't even considered RPS morphing, but Alex Kidd had something like it I believe. Good effort.

THE GARDENER by echa 2016-01-04T11:24:00

Excellent compo entry with an interesting idea taken to a high level.

Super Scoot and the House of Ill Repute by Krafty 2016-01-03T21:49:00

This game felt like MSX games but with a larger viewport. It is old-school in many ways and the graphics and music really evoke that era. The unforgiving gameplay does too though and it reminds us why we no longer make games this way :)

As an homage though, this is quite excellently done.

Legendary Legionnaire Massacre 2 by banana4life 2016-01-03T21:30:00

These games are not really my cup of tea but the experience felt quite polished and consistent. Good, solid work.

Snowman's Christmas by beetracks 2016-01-01T20:15:00

Good presentation and setup, it's just that my brain could not accept up as jump and space to turn. Space is so hardcoded as jump in my mind that I kept pressing the wrong key. Good production values and design, good work.

From the Deep by scorched 2016-01-01T20:01:00

This entry gets both themes right in a great way. I've seen many games here that have been very hindered by their attempts to create more than 2 interactions with only 2 buttons but with this game I feel it is integrated properly. It's not easy, but doable and does not feel forced. Simple idea taken to completion. Really nice.

Invasion by AxeTheory 2016-01-01T19:50:00

Haven't seen this particular type of arcade-puzzle game before. Nicely done! The slow firing speed once your stash is gone is rather slow slow but I'm probably just doing it wrong. Very nice.

SpaceSnake by rplnt 2016-01-01T19:29:00

So…, It's snake. The music was a bit jarring. Was a bit miffed that I missed a little thingy even though my body overlapped it by about 25% but as soon as 1 pixel of my body hit another part I was dead instantly. Liked the "get back on screen" alert. Needs a Colonel Campbell voice over.

Kitty Glacier Surfing by HUMANICS 2015-12-31T16:56:00

Nice (infinite) snow-slope runner sub-theme co-competitor entry. The randomness can cause the track to be essentially completely blocked but with the 9 lives it's not so bad. Nicely done.

o / O by NMcCoy 2015-12-31T16:47:00

This ended up being a lot more involved than I assumed in the beginning. Some interesting physics/growing puzzles and reasonable difficulty. Especially for a compo entry really nicely done.

The Mystery of the 2 Buttons by ZONC 2015-12-31T16:32:00

The Mac build is ruined, there are copies of all the fixed app directories with different files. Please re-export and just zip. Also, don't include your .pdb files in your distribution, they are only used for development and are enormous.

Save The Planet - Plant Trees by ryofougere 2015-12-31T16:19:00

Button-mashing is not the most fun activity in the world but the presentation is nice and the tree growing images are well done.

Shrink! by fritzpeace 2015-12-31T16:08:00

Speaking about the music, was it created by you? Since it's the only audio in the game, would be good to disable voting for audio if you didn't make it.
If you did make that song tho, very nice.

Looks nice and is basic but functional. Maybe it can speed up as you make progress to increase the difficulty over time. Keep it up.

NanoBit by Weeping Rupee 2015-12-31T15:59:00

Quite long game (for LD) with some balancing issues but with a good idea and usage of theme. I see you added a checkpoint post-LD version which is indeed what I missed after I got pretty far but then got too big and then it's over. Super Meat Boy e.g. is hard but failure only means redoing 5 to 15 seconds of gameplay, here you have to get through everything again.

Nonetheless, a quality entry!

CafeGarden by Bacontree 2015-12-31T15:15:00

While I will probably still see that mouse's head that looks like a plucked chicken with ears in my nightmares I enjoyed this more than I thought.

Balance of the plants is a bit off, you really only need 1 raspberry plant vs many strawberry and blueberry ones. If the growing speed was a bit higher and the rewards for the later plants a bit lower it would be more dynamic.

Initially I had a garden with all kinds of fruit but once I started making the big bucks I razed all that stuff, planted only coffee beans and converted the cafe into a Starbucks. Better ROI, you see.

GLYPH by JaCkJoKeZ 2015-12-31T14:11:00

The window opened about 200px down and 50px to the left of my screen origin, but I could still play it. No real link to the theme I can discern and if you die the timer continues and then when it runs out tells me I survived :)
The spell takes very long to cast and does little damage, am I doing something wrong?

Daily Commute by PKCat 2015-12-31T13:58:00

Don't include the PDB files in your distribution as they're just debug info in and this case take up >50% of the download.

Game idea is good but deceleration is very slow and there is no cue other than the AI slowing down that you need to stop. I liked the visual detail of the wheels rolling forward after a crash.

Linear Algebra Shooter by ALobker 2015-12-31T13:52:00

I was thinking I had to shoot the numbers in the matrices to have the models go berserk but that didn't seem to work? Not sure what I was doing. I would disable voting for audio for your entry as there is none.

1337h4x by Carnivoris 2015-12-31T13:41:00

Tried the OS X version, works fine.

I often moved though an exit node without any effect, even after I hit a firewall blob before. Controls lag quite a bit bit there's not too much coming your way so it wasn't a real problem.

Liked the mood and the 90s-tastic graphics. Nicely done overall.

Hrothvitnir by zlaine 2015-12-31T13:28:00

Up to when you're about 10ft in size, finding any food is rather hard and then things accelerate quickly and suddenly I was dead because I touched Odin (?) though I still had 3 hearts? Nice context for the game (can't go wrong with Norse mythology) but the beginning and endgame are too slow and fast, resp.

Darkness: A modular Audio Sound Scape by SineGlitch 2015-12-31T12:24:00

Great mood that made me yearn for a more interactive experience. Hope you'll continue to develop your sound skills!

supesuatakku by moisesjbc 2015-12-31T11:39:00

I liked the inclusion of the evil space kittens. Also felt a bit unsure exactly where to shoot for the core and then my hand cramped up a bit so I had to stop ;)

Life... yet, Death! by UgiWithAKnife 2015-12-31T11:31:00

I cal this game Killer Klicker. The reversed frantic music and the medieval style imagery create a good mood but I couldn't eradicate these pesky humans no matter what misery I deployed. Good fun though.

The True God by MacDocBros 2015-12-31T10:20:00

Game-wise a bit repetitive, but you've touched all aspects of game dev that this was hopefully good experience for you two. Keep it up!

Snowballin' by Frenchie 2015-12-31T09:50:00

It gives me a strange feeling when the world floats up in front of me. Nice implementation of the snow roller sub-theme (mine is in that category too) and sort of a serene way to play. Soothing.

SnowRoll by StabAlarash 2015-12-31T09:41:00

Ah, another roller-compatriot. Nice usage of Unity for good looks and upbeat tune.

TreePlanting Simulator by Cursed Embassy 2015-12-31T09:31:00

Seems like you ran out of time? Keep it up.

Given the music is the only audio in the game and it's 3rd party, it's best to disable voting for it in your entry.

Robot Explorer by ac7 2015-12-29T11:54:00

Too bad you were sick as this was the setup of a cute and funny platformer. Will look for your next entry at LD35!

Hypernova by Efuvex 2015-12-29T11:47:00

Can't evaluate this. I only see multilplayer, but there's no one online.

McBitey by weggel 2015-12-29T11:43:00

Please change the download title from "Web" to "Windows" as Web means that it's playable directly in a browser.

Double Helix by BroCade 2015-12-29T11:41:00

Nice concept, interesting but frustrating. Good mood from the combination of good, consistent visuals and music. Well done.

GTBC-1: Global terraformer for barren climate by Smirnov48 2015-12-29T11:35:00

More an interactive screensaver than a full game, but a nicely realised one nonetheless. Good themes usage.

Laser Command by Docjekyll 2015-12-29T11:19:00

Nice missile command and ikaruga mixture. Consistent art style, just missing some good meaty sound effects.

Reach For the Surface by EMPBomber 2015-12-29T11:11:00

This is a good game handicapped by the menu-based controls.

Super Space Invader by BlackBulletIV 2015-12-28T12:45:00

Very nice compo entry with a nice twist on the Space Invader idea. Music, sfx and visuals are consistent and create a solid mood.

LOAD"KHOMODORIA+2.RPG",8,1 by Creative Sectors 2015-12-28T12:31:00

As others have remarked: nice, C64-ish visuals, music got on my nerves a bit quickly. Given that I had no real agency in the game, I skipped most of the dialogue and the battle was also a bit stale. If you develop this further, I would indeed drop the 2-button limitation.

I think you got quite far with the RP part, now just the G part :)

32r by Allthebees 2015-12-28T11:04:00

So many questions… why am I on a soil plane with a flowerpot in a polygonscape? 32R? Did I win when I went for the blue one, the red one restarted… What am I deciding exactly? Which one is lying? They didn't make that many statements, lying about what?

Anyway, good that you've finished on your first go. Going to make some tea now.

Initial Conditions by reheated 2015-12-28T10:36:00

Nicely implemented puzzle with good mood added by story, bgm and austere graphics. Finally got stuck on Bonus level 2. Very nicely done.

Imagetchu by DoppleDanger 2015-12-28T09:49:00

This was ridiculous… …ly entertaining.

Xavier Huang by xavierhuang 2015-12-24T22:26:00

The download is actually an Xcode project that you then have to build and run on a simulator or device. That's all fine and well, but you might want to mention that, it's not an OS X app.

Also, for the compo, you have to create all assets yourself during the compo. The images and some of the sounds were clearly taken from other sources.

It's good that you got some exercise writing an iOS game in Swift, but next time make sure you adhere to the rules and also the themes.

Blobitronica by crucknuk 2015-12-24T21:13:00

Cool how the level is like a fractal, constantly zooming out, nice and original. No octopi this time :'(

Light Speed Snake by davesoft 2015-12-24T15:49:00

Your app has been pulled by Dropbox. I'm getting a "restricted content" page.

INFERNO by Lukbebalduke 2015-12-24T15:20:00

Nice mood and visuals. The music reminded me of a song from Symphony of the Night, but can't recall which one exactly. Impressive amount of content for a Compo entry!

aSCALErate by Strike 2015-12-24T14:50:00

Can only test by myself for now and I think this will fare a lot better with human opponents. Nicely done.

Winter Quest by michidk 2015-12-24T14:43:00

I got stuck on level 3. Nice looks and cool use of terrain deformation to show how the ball grows and interacts with the world. The music was nice for about the first 2 loops; maybe this would be better with just sort of wind sounds?

This is the nicer looking and more Adventure-y version of my entry, which is a race. Liked where you were going with this, well done!

The Serpent's Shadow by NuSan 2015-12-24T14:29:00

Interesting combination of reachability and snake concepts. Extensive game for a compo entry as well!

Red or Blue by besieger1 2015-12-23T22:31:00

I'm getting some UnitZ vibes from this one :) but maybe I've seen too many Sterling videos. Hope you have some more time next round.

Parse The Sky by dustyroom 2015-12-23T21:45:00

Points for style, that's for sure, name and feel-wise influenced by that other game with "Sky" in the name, I forget…
The steering got easier when I stopped using the up key unless I was flying straight ahead. Theme-relatedness…, yeah. Bit sad that the end was just a fade to white and reset as the rest was rather polished.

Smooth.

Wild Growth by Leon Möhring 2015-12-23T20:55:00

Great achievement for the compo, the vine is nicely realised with the child-branches flowing along and cool that there are multiple levels. Mood is pleasantly calm even though the game itself can get rather tense.

Fun with magnets! by Ithildin 2015-12-23T17:55:00

One chainsaw and I'm game over… Extensive game with good, simple mechanic exploited properly. Very nice. Good consistency and tone of visuals and audio.

Sushi Roll by adsilcott 2015-12-23T17:44:00

I love that you are rolling to avoid becoming sushi. This entry has elements to what I was aiming for had I had a designer or more design skills myself ;) Well executed infinite… roller.

Magic Lumberjack by The Mad Strauss 2015-12-23T17:37:00

Visuals are top notch. I couldn't get the hang of when I applied too much power, sometimes it felt like even a very short hold/release would have the axe flying. Good idea and integration with the themes.

Allmighty by monosolar 2015-12-23T17:32:00

How you know you've been games-trained: you avoid the barrier-looking things going up and out of the building and even when return to the source, then you try to end it by steering into solid material you realise it was all a ruse.

It's best not to add screenshots of the game that are not in the actual game and just indicate if you couldn't finish it all due to lack of time or stuff like that. The premise is there, now finish it. Nice go.

Hanami - Push-Up Farming by Beavl 2015-12-23T17:25:00

By having to focus intensely on the meters I missed what was happening in the main screen… but I can see from this page that what was happening was a good thing. Yes.

StarShibe by gladers 2015-12-23T17:13:00

A mini-story action jam game! Not sure if I could actually lose but this felt like a proper N64-era game, nice!

Mystic Sapling by atrodo 2015-12-23T16:43:00

In the beginning the souls move around a bit but then they all stop. I also read the description but by their colour I don't know which ones are chaos/order, I assume the grey ones are neutral. Maybe if you make a quick gameplay video we can get a better idea of the how and what. Theme usage looks good.

Destructive Power by DarkGrisen 2015-12-23T15:49:00

When I launch it on my Win7 VM in VMWare it complains that the graphics card can't handle the XNA HiDef profile needed for the game, which looking at the screenshots made me chuckle. Probably a bit much too ask, but if you can make a build requiring a low-profile gfx card, I can test it. Thanks for your feedback as well!

The Dungeon Crawler by danblack 2015-12-22T15:06:00

I've always found these old 3D instant movement and rotation views to be very confusing, I immediately lose my bearings, but nice concept and cute presentation.

Ninja Run by DarthThomas 2015-12-22T14:53:00

In a twitch game like this it's vital that all controls always respond immediately and they don't.

Dungeon Dog by uncade 2015-12-22T14:42:00

I feel that the dog should have been grooving to the beat a bit more.

Chomp by Raius 2015-12-22T14:38:00

That's some frantic music. Has a boss and a working mechanic. What more can you want from a 1st time entry? Cute shark.

Grow To Jump by Lares Yamoir 2015-12-22T14:34:00

When I hit the final room as a small character I gave up. The walk-spikes are conceptually interesting, but mostly just a test of patience, of which I have little after 100+ LD entries ratings ;) Nice idea.

ReachTheTop by coldman 2015-12-22T14:09:00

My hands were cramping after a while, even with the iron sword I had to hit monsters just a bit too long. I wasn't sure when I was hitting things as there's no feedback of a normal sword swing vs hit, but the little character is cute and the idea, though not awfully original, was well executed for a 2-day compo. Nicely done. Hope you'll continue it for a bit. Maybe reduce slime HP by 30% or so and add some new mobs!

Blokkenslat by jewagenaar 2015-12-22T13:47:00

Amusing character sprites. Given that on L3 the key was next to the door I assumed the levels are generated and I could exit without guilt.
With this LD I hope we all learned that 2 controls are not enough. This game would be more fun with a more normal input method, hope you'll make a post-compo / follow up version!

Journey To Oz! by ironleonem 2015-12-22T13:34:00

I thought nothing collided with the balloon until I noticed the health indicator, some kind of visual/audio feedback when you are hit would be good. The background suddenly stops in the level. Nice models.

ICECUBE by Stuntddude 2015-12-22T13:20:00

A well crafted puzzle game in a compo entry? Excellent work.

PinFootBall by wdebowicz 2015-12-22T11:31:00

Well implemented take on the theme and good idea. I saw some comparable entries online but funnily enough this is the best take on the idea. Nice!

Bring joy to the world... with balloons! by cptalbertwesker 2015-12-22T11:17:00

This was cute, even though I abhor clowns. QTE-clowns even.

SPEED COURT! by flwns 2015-12-22T11:13:00

After trying a few times I could infer no correlation between facial expression, crime and guilt. Fun idea, would like it to be a bit less random. I think the music in the help screens is the nicest.

Two Way Dungeon by Jordan Kniest 2015-12-21T18:19:00

I defeated the boss and the screen went grey. Did I win?
The potato-monk-cats were kind of cute, their attacks were like a cat clawing at you without really wanting to hurt you. And an octoroc as the boss! Nice.

Let Me Explain by OwT 2015-12-21T18:12:00

Well, that was depressing. Nice drawn graphics and sound effects. Not really sure what I was doing however. Why am I breaking in, killing some dude (no choice there), fleeing, taking pills, boozing, etc? I will play again and see if I can survive it.

Somehow I feel you should disable voting for Humor for this entry because… you know.

Dungeon of Choice by DBRalir 2015-12-21T18:04:00

This was hilarious. Nice combination of Undertale battle, PG dungeons and Bad Dudes. They are bad enough dudes. The difficulty ramps up quickly and soon the daggers fall like lasers but that's fine. Good atmosphere, only some moody bgm would have finished it off.

Soulless Dungeon by ursagames 2015-12-21T17:55:00

The web version worked fine for me but when I got to level 3 the entrance section was sealed off from the rest of the level, trapping me.

Cute little platformer with nice sfx and music. Consistent style. Nice!

Reactor by MikeTheWayne 2015-12-21T17:49:00

Man, the nuclear reactor business is a lucrative one! *Goes out to buy some uranium*

Frog Well by g12345 2015-12-21T17:41:00

Certain stars simply did not want to be picked up for some reason. Cool frog. Consistent style, some simple sfxr sounds would have really completed it. Nice first entry!

Cook!!! I'm Hungry!!! by WolvesOfOdin 2015-12-21T17:35:00

Jumping around in cube kingdom. Well done in completing your first LD. Not sure if Euro Truck Simulator is much of a lure but I appreciate the gesture ;)

Oh, please don't compress the OS X app folder using RAR as it removes the executable bit of the main program, causing it not to start. This is fixable if you know how, but most people don't know or won't bother. If you can, compress it with zip instead.

Rolla Grolla Arena by Xanjos 2015-12-21T17:24:00

The music was perhaps better left out. I don't have any friends (around) so had to play with lefty against righty. Given that you can't move up might be cool to have the level scroll up with new platforms popping in from the bottom now and then. Good to see multiplayer stuff at LD.

growing darkness by rijnswand 2015-12-21T17:12:00

For some reason the character's mesh was completely broken and looked like a cube-sized space filled with many random triangles but otherwise it worked.

Nice look, not sure what the smoke dudes were doing, I said hi a few times without consequence but they didn't really seem to care.

Add in a soundtrack next time for more ambience.

The Dancing Sunflower by aemiliu5 2015-12-21T16:57:00

Have to say I didn't expect the flower to do that at the end. Got to 58 pts. Humorous and good BGM.

Killer Bee by bob_fish 2015-12-21T16:52:00

LLRRLLRR forever for the win! Well, I only got to 4600, but it was good while it lasted. I see you didn't make the music but you did a good job selecting the sfx and bgm. Nice work.

Jack by PixelMonkey 2015-12-21T16:45:00

The original version won't let me exit level 2 and the updated one has the issue you mentioned where levels restart when exited, sometimes. Taking a quick look at the files in your project I see that the levelOrder.txt file looks rather weird and also in a few of you levelX.txt files there seems to be text prepended of file paths, see e.g. level11.txt. I would clean up your data and upload it once you're sure the data is in order.

I do like your music though and the idea seems nice.

The Great Adventure of Wania Romanow by kristoverek 2015-12-21T16:37:00

Very random.

Kudzu: I Can Grow Forever... by Ryusui 2015-12-21T16:31:00

Easy to learn, hard to master as they say. Damn bugs.

Grow by Vaclav 2015-12-21T16:27:00

Interesting idea, will need some time to get to a good score.

S(p)eed by Dayko 2015-12-21T16:22:00

Good mood with the visuals and music. C64 style sound effects are nice too. Love the colour hue changes as the vines grow. Very nicely done!

Breeze by thynnmas 2015-12-21T16:19:00

Sorry, I get Segmentation Fault 11 when launching on Mac OS X 10.11.2.

Garbage Run by Dege 2015-12-21T15:58:00

All the useful comments have already been made so I will do do a +1 on those and just say nice work!

To the Tree! by Pan 2015-12-20T21:35:00

Having played a few cycle-through-actions control methods, I'm just happy that we have controllers and keyboard with a LOT of controls. ;)

Looks nice, sound was a bit jarring. Good go.

Snow Grow by johanw123 2015-12-20T21:30:00

As we all know, games with snowballs picking up stuff are completely amazing. *cough* Lookin' good.

EXTERMINOIDS! by LudoGames 2015-12-20T21:17:00

Great models and visual aesthetic. Very short, hope you'll work on it a bit more, has potential.

SPACEBRIX extreme by mard 2015-12-20T18:30:00

Any game with "Extreme" in the title is of course awesome (*cough*pls_play_my_entry*cough*) and not just the code but also the style is reminiscent of Sos. Funny and a creative bullet mechanic.

sometimes cubs grow by sergicollado 2015-12-20T18:20:00

Nice cohesive art style and mood, especially for a compo-entry. Gameplay-wise simple but functional. I accidentally touched those ice/ghost things? and it just moved me back to the cub tree. Was that an enemy or something else? Very nice.

You and your parasite by local minimum 2015-12-20T17:39:00

The combination of creative endeavours that came together to make this is impressive. Bizarre, funny and intriguing. The visual style felt like Doom was pulled into the 2010s in the shape of a parasite. A demanding one. Great!

Billy the Winter Pinocchio Elephant by BulletsArePeopleToo 2015-12-20T17:21:00

Original idea, I just got cramped fingers within about a few minutes so had to give up. Cute handdrawn images and fitting music by Mr. MacLeod.

Impulse by Nega Drive 2015-12-20T17:16:00

Very C64-style graphics for the background, nice. Good with the music getting you going and the semi-random placement of obstacle areas. Wish I didn't have to go through the 10-second intro area every time, for a past based game I'd like to restart immediately. Very nice effort.

AB race by davidB 2015-12-20T17:09:00

Well, it does the job. Next time experiment with the WebAudio api for some sfx!

Shrunk by pragmascript 2015-12-20T17:06:00

Hm, it can't find the file "shrunk_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (Windows 7) I don't have Unity installed here, maybe a packaging issue?

Toppa! by lekochen 2015-12-20T17:03:00

Nice ending screen :) Frantic.

Snow n' Grow by SuperDolfy 2015-12-20T17:00:00

When people say the controls are confusing it's not perse that the keys are hard to use or anything but it's more a question of understanding what is going on. I was just holding S + A/D to plow the road continuously but I was not sure what the ball of felt patches was for (I now read it was a slider of student presence?), the money you have is hard to see as tiny black letters in the bottom right and once I suddenly entered the shop (the icon did not respond to clicks earlier) I could not get out anymore, only to the title screen and back. Things move quickly in this game and there are a lot of brightly colours, big pixely things vying for your attention and then some really tiny things like the students and you. Also note how if I write all of this in a single paragraph it's harder to read than with line- and paragraph breaks. That's the difficulty.

Not that it's bad but consider we go into this without any context (and many people will never read your (extensive) description but just jump in.)

Anyway, good effort.

Corpse Avenger by LoHii 2015-12-20T16:43:00

This was incredibly random, but I don't think it was memes. If you have to do physics puzzles, then might as well use corpses and balaclavad thugs.

Auto Racer by ethankennerly 2015-12-20T16:34:00

Not sure if level 8 is possible except for sheer luck, I got close but…
Simple, clear art style. Hope you'll have time next round for a quick music track.

Sheeps gotta eat by mxjones 2015-12-20T16:23:00

I am the God King Sheep, bow befor… NO! I'm shrinking! This was hilarious in its ridiculousness. Just fine for a first game.

AscenS by SayRafon 2015-12-20T16:08:00

In the web version the tree graphic is offset too much to the left so it looks like you can move where you can't. Got hard quickly! Nice idea of vine + 2-btn.

Defuse Run by dreadzilla 2015-12-20T16:04:00

Would've liked to try but a UE4 game with on normal quality setting is unplayable in VMWare ;) Will look back later for a web version or if you can add like a Low quality graphics option. Good that you're learning new stuff!

Wayward Souls by intXparts 2015-12-20T15:58:00

I first thought that crouching broke the 2-button control scheme — I managed to get to the end without jumping — but you only went with growing so never mind that.

Bit short but a cute little story.

GeoGrowth by SirJavaGaming 2015-12-20T15:44:00

Works fine on my Mac, I've got the Oracle Java 8 JRE/JDK installed, could be that others have the (long deprecated) Java 6 runtime or possible the Oracle v7 JRE.

If the collision detection was a bit less severe it would have felt more fair. Always indent your bounding boxes by a few pixels to allow for perceived near-misses. Funky colour scheme and shapes and a UI to boot. Nicely done.

Fruit Shaper by Rialgar 2015-12-20T15:35:00

Interesting concept. 2 controls were too much for this entry, how about 1? Nice.

Low and Flow by el_kloklo 2015-12-20T15:32:00

This was actually rather humorous. I think it's good you ended where you did because cycling between 7 different commands was getting a bit tedious. You've truly explored the extent to which this control scheme can go. I'd say max. 3-4 commands. Fun art style and novel idea.

Two Finger Platformer by pedrocb 2015-12-20T15:20:00

I managed to get to the room with the moving platform, actually landed on it once and then it didn't drag me along and I gave up. One bridge too far for me.
Good adherence and usage of the 2-button theme and music in a compo entry is always rare. Well done but too fiddly for me :)

Tango Manos by Hermes 2015-12-20T15:06:00

This looks like it would be good fun but the indicators were very small and I never managed to score a single point. I tried fingers down and lift a finger and inverse but neither seemed to do much good? Likely because of web version but can't run Windows apps atm. Will try again later.

Another Dragon by GeorgeBroussard 2015-12-20T15:00:00

I like the 80s screen effect and the retro movement was no problem for me as I'm old. Dem kids clamoring for more checkpoints just don't know...
Great mood and sound effects were great, how did you make the dragon squeal?

Don't Look Back by PeteDS 2015-12-20T14:47:00

Sorry, any app randomly asking permission to do stuff with my computer is not getting it. Can you setup the gamemaker exe to be stand-alone?

SAAAM by Ogniok 2015-12-20T14:44:00

It certainly looks good. Were all 3D models created in the three-day period? That's quite impressive by itself. Bravo for your modellers. The story, being kind of a GlaDOS redux, was fine but if you lay it on too thick ("I would not do anything wrong, would I?" etc.) it breaks the immersion for me. But overall great team effort!

Endless Rallye by mnill 2015-12-20T12:18:00

For something made in a day, this is fine, it even has a (sort of) leaderboard, (I'm now on Pos 5 with 228). Note to self: implement leaderboard next time :)

LD34 rushed game. [Java] by that1guy232 2015-12-20T12:11:00

It works and you detect an ending state. It is a (sad) fact that entries have been submitted that do not even that, so this is definitely not the worst game.

I would call it Flappy Bird: Easy Type. Or Air Worm perhaps given the setting. Hope you have more time next round.

Hopeless Planet by korvyashka 2015-12-20T12:04:00

Good mood with the music, sfx and main UI screen. The font-size could have been a bit bigger as the anti-aliasing makes the text hard to read at these sizes.

On one hand, if you add a simple tutorial to this it might be a bit more intelligible from the start, but right now it does work in that you truly are in a place where you don't know how anything works, nice!

Snow Goat Avalanche by loxo 2015-12-20T11:55:00

Oh frak, the goat sample plays with every keypress, ha! Even with direct manipulation of the ball, this gets difficult quickly. 41 secs is the best I could do.

Response to your comment: Adding multiple balls and all that other stuff was indeed in the plans but ran out of time. Let's do better next time!

Karel by Dry Tree 2015-12-20T11:41:00

A difficult puzzler. For compo-level visuals this is pretty good, but I don't have the patience for most puzzlers unless they are very forgiving… which is why my entry is a snowball rolling down a hill :)

Anyway, looks like a good effort but I admit I stopped halfway the first real level.

The other side of the portal by mahjong50 2015-12-19T23:44:00

While I feel the game is not very game-y I still congratulate you on getting a finished product out. First LD down, more to go!

Left-leaning by tayl1r 2015-12-19T23:38:00

All of the levels have sort of a good frustration/skill/reward cycle going except for the last one I feel, which is unfortunate because it now leaves a bad association instead of a good one for me. Good compo quality stuff with pixel-based levels and simple, but consistent look and feel.

GURU by TomenLuca 2015-12-19T16:52:00

Excellent entry with good mechanics and funny too!

Space Laser Omega by Auroz 2015-12-19T16:07:00

Works well, nice setup. As others mentioned, a quick mention that movement charges the terraform beam would be good. Nice.

Millenium Fist by AzureAspect 2015-12-19T12:44:00

Finnish Manga: good. Beating up and apparently killing a defenseless foe who doesn't even try to fight back: less so. Art is good.

spirit by Uedaki 2015-12-19T11:42:00

You may have drawn them yourself but that is one of those little clicky-head guys from Princess Mononoke. Please provide built products.

Toucan by HippGame 2015-12-19T11:36:00

I couldn't find enough nuts to grow a level and then the cats came for me.

No country for young men by Haokarlos 2015-12-19T11:27:00

It's like Risk but with youngins. Some kids want to go somewhere and then hate for for doing so and indeed quite a few other bugs but original idea and nice drawn pixel style.

Jay in Love Garden by Namek 2015-12-19T11:17:00

I always got around $992-6 and then was told I made nothing and had to restart.

(BTW: the .jar file in your Win32 link works fine on OS X and likely Linux)

An Outpost by Geukes Colin 2015-12-19T11:10:00

Sorry, I honestly don't know what was happening. Moving around is optional I think? Then I do A or B and I get a few things, but not sure what they are and loop. I see you wrote winning/losing conditions down here but I couldn't tell if I was doing things right or not. Looks interesting and fitting little tune to go along with it, but a bit too abstract for me.

Hello Darkness by jcmonkey 2015-12-19T10:56:00

Agree mostly with the comments, but:

Instead of just lowering the volume of the sound effects, it would be better to make the sounds have a source and play them at a volume respective to how close the character is to the sound (distance attenuation).

For post-compo version, I feel that giving the player a boomerang is like giving the character from Amnesia a shotgun, it greatly reduces the tension of the game and monsters are now just cannon fodder that get in the way temporarily. The mines were slow but now that the monsters follow you you don't have wait for their walk-cycle to repeat anymore to continue.

Also, W + mouse aiming was very confusing to me as I instinctively starting pushing ASD as well to move relatively and they didn't do anything, causing me to be killed.

Finally, unless you are getting quarters from people per play, best to just omit "lives" entirely, esp. for a compo game where people are unlikely to restart.

And remember that just blindly following tips from testers like us will not yield a better game, as people often come up with a quick suggestion for what they think could improve something, but that doesn't mean it fits in the whole picture. :)

Nice entry, keep it up.

Tug-o-War by hyperscope 2015-12-19T10:37:00

Not sure why but the game doesn't seem to load. The unity loading progress bar shows up but it doesn't move.

My Best (Magical) Friend! by spotco 2015-12-19T10:28:00

I'm not very familiar with VN style stories but I found it a bit odd how the main character being mostly a busybody grew friendship with the pink haired one, …though I've seen enough "normal" Japanese series in which characters also acted in rather indeterminate ways, so I guess it's J-canon.

Graphical production values were very high and there were a lot of scenes (though I did not finish it all.) Well crafted.

Expando-ship by FireSlash 2015-12-19T09:45:00

I think I shot stuff and then I exploded, or imploded. For all the bullets I was firing it felt like most of them just went off and had a drink with their mates instead of going after my enemies. L'enfer, c'est les bullets.

Tight presentation. Music was bearable. Good.

Elevator Game by jnharton 2015-12-19T09:30:00

Still not completely sure how I managed to move around but I got to the back elevator and then I think that was the end?

Watch out for the green stuff! by wehard 2015-12-19T09:23:00

Cute handdrawn characters and objects and I like the green menace chasing you forward a la the fire in Braid, etc. Every other booster fish did not seem to do things and good you need to use obstacles to not get too far ahead of the screen. Nice.

Ski3D by zimmy87 2015-12-19T09:16:00

The first big obstacle block is very hard to find a clear path through but I made it a few times. Nice.

Strong Like Orc by SpareWizard 2015-12-19T09:08:00

The music really does give it the mood it needs, though the simple orc sprites are cute too. I feel often I got stuck on a wall by the bottom pixel of my toe which was frustrating but that's only because the flow of the game is otherwise really nice.

Conservation of Ninjutsu by kuhnerdm 2015-12-18T17:48:00

Ha-haah! Genius with the music and everything. Of course the ninja look simplistic but that's a worry for another day. Great theme usage.

Escape by thefishlive 2015-12-18T17:41:00

Jumping is a bit weird and indeed restarting completely is a bit discouraging, but the take on the theme is good. I would disable voting on Audio for this entry as there is none. Nice go and perhaps a post-compo version?

Seicho Boru by Robert 2015-12-18T17:34:00

Nice implementation of the Katamari formula! Good atmosphere with the talking dude and ribbidi-voice (I just invented that word) and general feel. Well done.

Also, please re-compress your OS X build with a program other than RAR, as rar screws up unix permissions and makes the game unrunnable until you make the binary executable again.

And, of course, I would be remiss to mention my own entry which uses a similar mechanic, but in quite a different context.

CLON by Boberro 2015-12-18T17:21:00

That's some mighty nice Tron. It is possible to pass through lines now and then but eh. Music fits the mood. Good stuff.

Greatest physics-based game that doesn't use real physics by KunoNoOni 2015-12-18T13:36:00

To fix the OSX version compress it with a tool that is not RAR. rar does not preserve unix file info and makes it unrunnable. Use zip or 7zip instead

Golden Goose by Delicious Code 2015-12-17T07:25:00

The web version still has a few rendering issues, it seems like the dithered darkening pixels are drawn over the screen itself.

Other than that tho. Very good attention to detail and faithful recreation of these old games. The faint shadows in the screen where are the sprites are, fadeout of sprites etc. Very high production values.

Of course, it is an excellent reproduction of these old games, which reminds us all that these games were rather frustrating, but that's the whole point, ha.

Speed Sid by tribrain 2015-12-17T07:15:00

I got the Mac version but I had to `chmod +x` the actual binary to have it run, this is because RAR doesn't store unix permissions properly. If you have a sec, please replace the RARred OS X version with a zipped one, that'll work.

Aside from that I liked the art style and normal/battle music. I have vanquished the stone scorpion placards, I assume. Intro was good too, I'd have liked it if I can jump to the next screen without skipping the whole intro as I can read English quickly. For example with space go to next screen, though I get that it was timed to the intro music as well. Did I mention I liked the music?

Grava-Switch by danidre14 2015-12-17T06:58:00

I find it funny that this was done on Khan Academy for some reason. Highly psychedelic. No comic this time?

Edurxcel Biolergy by peterthehe 2015-12-17T06:45:00

I fear I'm a bit too removed from British politics/culture etc to really get the jokes in the intro but the game itself was kind of soothing with the music and evening colour schemes and poster swapping. Not sure if I did well but eh.

Bad Cloud by pedrorossa 2015-12-16T21:35:00

I was striking thunder into certain trees like my life depended on it but some just would not react, also not sure when/where I had to use the water. Novel idea, though and cute cloud.

Octov by Taldius 2015-12-16T21:23:00

This game so far has nailed the 2-button control mechanism the best. Really like the Mario 2 Shyguy-like character and guardian. Loved the background music too. Great!

Spinning Around by DinnerInTheDark 2015-12-16T21:15:00

Very nice setting, tone and feel. This went on for much longer than I thought it would. I liked how the inner stairs built up as you progressed. Well designed. Bravo.

Canoe A-Go-Go: The Saga of Johmemy by ohmmus 2015-12-16T19:25:00

Man, those guys haul ass. Fun idea and I loved the death end screen. Good use of theme as well.

Evadanoid by jomomomo 2015-12-16T19:21:00

Ouch, hurt my ears when the death sound came on. Good go.

A Caucus Race with the White Rabbit by ssshepherd 2015-12-16T19:18:00

The perspective is like the SNES racing games. Sadly, I had no one to play against. Why the Carroll theme?

Trash Mountain by teamross 2015-12-16T19:15:00

Similar to The Incident. Nice implementation, physics based stuff is always hard to pull off. Nice.

Witchgarden Leafiosa by phi6 2015-12-16T19:09:00

Excellent creative team at work here making a very high quality entry. Sort of Paper Mario like but different, will try and complete this one later.

Let's go to the SPÄTI! by Reisn 2015-12-16T00:18:00

Fun expression, I almost expect the scoring to work the other way around. After all, if no one else there, there's more for me!

Also, you might want to disable Audio category for your entry as there is no sound (at least not in the WebGL version)

Guardian by TheMeorch 2015-12-16T00:09:00

Good extended take on the theme. Certainly not easy, with or without weapons! Shame that it has no sound. Nice!

Elemental Force - The Medallion's Guardian by redzero 2015-12-15T23:57:00

The idea is solid and the ring of powers + use is cool, but I will need a lot of time of tries and memorisation before I get past obstacle 5 :) Nice intro screen too.

Hero of the nest by Alexander Shukalo 2015-12-15T23:51:00

I think there were egg-magnets installed next to the nest, so eager were the eggs to escape my grasp and feel the cold, soothing embrace of non-existence.

Fun idea.

Sky 1513 by vedmich 2015-12-15T23:44:00

Nice looking. A soothing soundtrack would've been great with this one.

Consumerism by Spag Head Games 2015-12-15T23:37:00

Within 10 seconds all my opponents were stuck running into various walls and corners and I picked up the food, but it didn't seem clicking left or right did anything? Fun entry, sort of a food fight / running man combo.

Akuto by renegadeninjanl 2015-12-15T23:30:00

I like the visual style, especially in action with a kill. Quite cinematic for dramatic emphasis. Indeed too bad I was quickly wandering around an empty green space littered with the limp, lifeless bodies of my former enemies.

Had fun tho'

Thunder On by Lia-Sae 2015-12-15T23:12:00

This is almost more an art installation than a game, but it's intriguing and with the sounds feels good too. Original idea, I like the multiple branches etc. Well done.

Fat Cat by Dakkon69 2015-12-15T17:06:00

A glorious day for cat feeders. This was great. Who doesn't like fat cat?

Water Drop's Journey by tedling 2015-12-15T16:57:00

Nice little puzzler. With the random levels with a fixed seed it reminds me a bit of Desert Golfing somehow. Good work.

Frantic Farming by Fidrik 2015-12-15T16:34:00

Good use of assets to create a new game. Mechanics worked well and hunting for the right control actually kind of fit the name. Would be fun if stuff happened 2x/3x as fast with a lot of materials all over the area growing at once to really go for the frantic part. Nice!

HamsterX by UntitledQ 2015-12-15T16:24:00

Brilliant. More hamsters in games, please.

Immune by Terrabalt 2015-12-15T16:18:00

Good style, kinda N64 like, having more cells to infect flying around would be good I think, now I'm something flying around for 20 sec without seeing anything. Nice take on themes as well.

Escape Squad by yesandgames 2015-12-15T16:09:00

Ow, I was figuring out the controls as a mass of critters collected by the door and when I hit space, 20 explosion effects played simultaneously, which was rather painful.

Interesting idea for 4 characters joined together, but not theme-related. Nice go, tho.

Laser Jump FTW by Crashmore Studios 2015-12-15T15:58:00

I first died 10 a couple of times instantly but I got the hang of it after. Hard, but doable. I would've liked a recharging blast for RMB or something as zooming out is always need anyway and doesn't need a button. And I'm afraid. Good one.

Day of the Dust Bunny by UncleChris 2015-12-15T15:49:00

One meeeelion meters. I tried the tip to let her pass around and then flew off into the Unity skybox! It was great. I like Mabel's design, the "real" game would be a lot easier if the dust bunnies didn't slow you down, but I like the idea and setting. Nice.

Eco-gro by skysthelimit 2015-12-15T15:33:00

I keep getting killed by the mega-wasps. Interesting idea and cool looking island.

As for the OS X version: I see you've comprressed your windows binary with RAR, but RAR does not store permissions and will break the app folder. If you create an OS X app compress it with zip/7zip etc instead.

Parallax by triello 2015-12-15T14:58:00

Good visuals and atmospheric music. The controls felt a bit heavy making it hard to avoid enemies, but a small bug helped there where I could climb up and stand on the sides of walls. :)

Choppy Crop by komjaur 2015-12-15T14:48:00

The timers are a nice touch, sticking to the 2-button theme strictly. I didn't get very far with my crops but I tried. Nice one.

Zen Roots by nopogo 2015-12-15T14:41:00

Nice mood. Tranquil and calming, which is what I needed after my 20-hr day yesterday :) Nice look and feel, well done!

Lil' Drake by bombjack 2015-09-10T21:20:00

Flappy Drac Boy is very well done. Seems nigh impossible the first few tries but is actually quite doable, it can be finished without dying once. Cute visual style and nice concept!

Bumble's Quest by jcourt 2015-09-07T19:16:00

The direct camera control made aiming a bit hard but since Bumble has a wizard Tommy-gun it was still rather easy. I agree with the other comment that the player should probably have more like 50 HP. Though story-wise it shows you to be a true monster who is just killing hapless cylinder-sphere people, as a game having some tension is better. AI in LD games is hard to do, but even a simple but more aggressive run-towards-player-while-shooting tactic would have made it scarier. Still, a full setup from beginning to end. Well done.

Manifest Destiny by superfreak 2015-09-06T20:16:00

The attack sound effect is _way_ too loud, have volume down to 1 on my machine but with in-ear headphones it's still too loud.

Host by Ferret 2015-09-06T19:35:00

Nice puzzle mechanic, sometimes difficult to figure out what I did wrong. I guess people moved into a room I was doing something in? I think if the hosts' movements between rooms would be animated or if they look different somehow it would make a lot of unclear situations a lot clearer.

But, nicely done.

Bloodworm by Jonathan Whiting 2015-09-06T13:29:00

Excellent compo entry. The voiced sound effects are funny and the ploinky bgm didn't get on my nerves. Well implemented game of an interesting take on the snake-iverse. I got 50 coins in 2:55. Nice.

Elven Blood by nihilaleph 2015-09-06T11:24:00

Managed to get the pacifist ending. I think it's impressive you got as much done in the compo time frame as you did. It was short but felt like a prototype for a much longer game. Now we're all left to wonder why the humans attacked the elves… we will never know. Well done.

I had to modify your original light shader to use `discard` for the case where no light was projected. Not explicitly setting the out color of the fragment shader is implementation-defined, I think, which is why some implementations default to vec4(0) and others will have random data in there. (Mine showed the full color spectrum circle in the light quad)

Red Flaming Hood by eddynardo 2015-09-05T17:54:00

Good mode with the ambient sound effects. Sort of a late-90s 3D game look which for a jam is perfectly fine. Poor wolves.

Redemption by Mikhail 2015-09-04T15:35:00

Why did you put this adfly redirector before the dropbox download? Having to skip though scummy ads is not really an invitation to play.

Anyway, unlike some others it works fine on Mac (with Java 8 runtime), game itself is bit more like RSI-demption, amirite. But it has a start and end, though the "twist" at the end is rather implied by the setup text in the beginning. But, good effort.

The Mammoth: A Cave Painting by inbetweengames 2015-09-04T14:25:00

I hope you all have overcome your own grief by making this game. It was good. Not pleasant, but good. Nice drawn style and even narration. Well done.

Chamber of the Monster by Mossy Frog 2015-09-04T10:20:00

Pressing R at various places will actually teleport you usually out of the scene, allowing you to move into e.g. the end area. Fun.
Nice concept, shame you couldn't finish it as it's a good theme exploration idea. Nice first Unity project too. Time well spent for the jam.

BreakoutBeast by Downtown 2015-09-04T10:09:00

Nice that it was hard but deterministic so you can plan your way around the spears and arrows. Nice style. Well done, esp for a bit over 48h.

Forest by Frozen Ninja 2015-09-04T09:57:00

I like that the goal is to show the trained behaviour we display in games. It moves? Kill it. It glows? Collect it! Why? Who knows and who cares! *stab stab* *shiny shiny*

Minor nitpicks: the stats don't reset on a 2nd play through, your seconds are actually milliseconds I think and when I tried again and killed 0 creatures it still called me a monster. Oh well, we all are.

Forgotten Realms by Sam Oates Games 2015-09-04T09:39:00

Well, at least it was a fun technical experiment, which is part of the spirit of these jams. I do get satisfaction about having a begin-to-end experience too tho. I putter about in my own time plenty :)

Rainbow Injection by funIntentions 2015-09-03T23:09:00

I'm getting an internal server error from GameJolt every time.

Deicide by Abrexas 2015-09-03T23:06:00

I was just figuring out what was going on and then I shrivelled up and I thought I died but it said "you win" so…? Then I clicked next game and the music started playing twice so that was that. (Embedded Web build)

Looks like an interesting concept for the theme.

You are the Human(Monster) by flyableh 2015-09-03T22:53:00

Because the floor is black, you can't tell what is moving relative to what, which is somewhat confusing, esp. once the humans start running away. It's unfinished but good go at your first LD.

Gulliver by Bobap 2015-09-03T22:43:00

Would have been more tense if, instead of having the boulder appearing at a distance (nearly) every time at a 25 second walk away and giving me 30s each time to have the boulder's distance grow over time from player and have me use seconds saved up from earlier rounds, a la old racing games. Right now it's a tight but guaranteed walk to the next boulder every time.

BTW, not buying the "it's slower because web" argument as any browser can handle a little canvas like that without any problems at very high frame rates. If it really is slower then the GameMaker HTML5 plugin is definitely not worth the money.

Nice and original concept for the theme.
It has a nice laid back atmosphere also because of the nice BGM, were those made by you as well?

Brutally Insane Ripped Six Pack Abs With One Weird Trick Discovered by a Proletarian by bw 2015-09-03T22:03:00

That was ridiculous but in a fun way. The big tank saying "help, I'm stuck" was cute.

Don't eat them! by mar3k 2015-08-31T13:42:00

Man, the interactions are wonky but I do like the mood set, though the story is of course… borrowed. Also, I can't believe I let this run for 15 minutes in the background, occasionally clicking a cooked steak just to see the ending.

BTW: part of the UI wonkiness is that the game seized up every 5 seconds for about 2 seconds, causing Java to do bad things as well, the Java process was often running at >1 full CPU core which was odd. Maybe you're doing something really hefty?

I HATE HALLOWEEN by Vaida 2015-08-31T12:54:00

Nice, fast paced arcade-y game with even a boss fight. Didn't really understand when new masks became available but used to good effect anyway. Good.

When the Stars are Right by LTyrosine 2015-08-29T16:39:00

Clearly quite a bit of work went into the models, animations and presentation and it shows. I like the mechanic of grabbing and eating but it does get a bit tiresome after a couple of minutes (esp. when my gains are removed by depth charges again, nullifying my effort) The movements feel good, the slowness in the water, just if I hit a tiny sub with one of my claws it should still get quite a bit of momentum. Intriguing and nice.

Rain of Terror by John Drury 2015-08-29T13:13:00

I think if the scores were inverted 100 for apples, 200 for birds and 500 for people it would give high-score chasers a better challenge, right now it's basically left right between the trees and occasionally avoid / hit a bird that's in the way as the apples are worth so much more than anything else. But fun little game.

Birdy Bridge by LastLeaf 2015-08-28T22:47:00

Haste makes waste never rung truer than in this game. Peaceful yet infuriating, but I made it. Nicely done.

Super Snack Time! by adsilcott 2015-08-28T22:23:00

Brilliant idea for this theme.

Profession: Chair de Poule by dunin 2015-08-28T17:15:00

I only got fired because I didn't fully understand what to do even with the English version, but I just have to mention that the screenshot above is basically Zemus's (from Final Fantasy 4/II) janitor brother or something along those lines. see http://www.finalfantasy500.com/500/charimagessz/zemus3.jpg
Not sure if that was intentional, but it's funny. Nice!

Dungeon Guard by Techblogogy 2015-08-28T17:00:00

For 24h it's not bad, but those are some seriously floaty orcs, I got a bit dizzy with the sweeping rotations and floor made of icy rock (or so it felt)

Ghosty by zdavid112z 2015-08-28T16:52:00

An original idea. I think if the game starts out on a small map and guides you a bit more through the whole process I would get it better, but of course, 48 hours… Not sure if you even need the whole human/ghost mechanic. Why not just always be in ghost mode? But again, interesting, if you have time develop it a bit further.

Gruesome by metranil 2015-08-28T16:43:00

Gameplay wise there was not much to this and the AI was (as per usual LD standards) herp-derp but I still enjoyed myself because of the ridiculousness of it all and the sounds.

Evil must survive ! by kikaz 2015-08-28T16:38:00

Won't rate this one as it's quite unfinished, maybe release a post-compo version?

Heroes Always Win by bradur 2015-08-28T16:28:00

The levels are indeed pretty straightforward but the concept is nice and well implemented, esp. for a 48h entry.

Under The Sheets by orkybitz 2015-08-28T16:17:00

First I lost for some reason and then I won, but I don't really know what I did. Setup looked cute enough.

The Frog King by dollarone 2015-08-28T15:30:00

For such innocuous graphics, the game itself is rather morbid with frog corpses and the bouncing there-on. As a shortcut to the extra heart and the top right next to the frog king lair, jump on a frog and push its carcass just over the edge of a platform, then jump under him and keep up pressed: Infini-jump! Use this on the left sides of the second platform and the first platform after the water for quick access to the extra heart and the frog king, respectively.

Anyway, fun game.

Evil Ghost chasing by Benlitz 2015-08-28T15:09:00

I won't be able to play this one sadly (only have Win in a VM with DX9 support) but fun to see a different rendition of reverse pac man. I, and several others…, made a similar entry ;)

Monster Creator by EverlessDrop41 2015-08-28T14:58:00

The browser version doesn't react to any controls on Saf/FF/Chrome before I go fullscreen and then the Q/E buttons didn't work :( I still managed to get to the end through some creative jumps tho. Interesting idea, but indeed, not finished. Hope they fix these bugs so you submit more next time.

Monster Cat by Septi 2015-08-28T14:40:00

Nice art style. The game is hard to play because it's not clear when or how I can destroy things and the Eye of Saur---- the owner moves very fast and has very strict collision detection. Also, after 3 tries the cat in the intro fell below the screen and I had to kill the app.

Ghost Duck by chikun Dev Team 2015-08-28T14:31:00

That was a surprisingly complete and well executed game for a 3-day jam. Well done, I will never trust a duck again.

The SPLURGE! by 4KbShort 2015-08-28T14:08:00

Looks fun but every time I ran into some game breaking bug (can't move, ejected from level, etc.) Nice style and mood.

M.A.D (Monsters Against Do-Gooders) by Fallenthief 2015-08-28T14:02:00

Nicely done PvZ in 3 days. For a first time entry especially well rounded.

GhostMan by Mac70 2015-08-28T13:40:00

Somehow my input is often disregarded for up to a whole second. Anyway, nice effort and keep going. (And if you wish to see this idea in 3D with role-reversal, check my entry ;)

The Red Planet by Zccc 2015-08-28T13:33:00

Using the same key for action and strafe was a bit weird, but the setup and story is very good.Has a beginning and an end, very nice. Well done.

Dungeon Boss Monster by johnnwfs 2015-08-27T16:42:00

Interesting idea to remotely control traps from your lair. At a certain point I could no longer spawn pits as I think my soul level never went back up beyond a certain amount. Not sure if that was intentional.

The Labyrint of Monsters by Mokomaki 2015-08-27T16:28:00

Seems like a setup for a quick fps-like but likely needed more time. Better next time.

Guardian monster by albinobat 2015-08-27T16:25:00

I'd have this little guy protect me too.

Scare It ! by teateam 2015-08-27T16:13:00

I never figured out when space actually does spawn a new monster. Interesting idea, but a bit intractable gameplay.

Love at first sight by LMT 2015-08-27T16:02:00

Got stuck on the level from your screenshot but for 6h certainly not a bad showing.

It's just imagination by fragileannihilator 2015-08-27T15:36:00

This was hilarious and a perfect example of using a game to explore guilty pleasures well befitting the theme.

Glitches-vs-Pix by kunzbe 2015-08-27T15:14:00

This almost felt more like a game of life sim. I couldn't really tell what I was doing, but the atmosphere was interesting.

The 74% scientifically inaccurate cheese fabrication process by SiMouth 2015-08-27T15:07:00

That's the 2nd game so far that made the Munster joke. As expected in a Jam, some of the mechanics are fiddly as hell but it was a fun experience nonetheless. Nice.

Mild Mannered Richard by DarkwindMedia 2015-08-27T14:52:00

Great mood through the art and music. I don't get though, how do you get past the enormous vertical wall at 340m?

Lord of Fantasy III by DraKlaW 2015-08-27T14:32:00

Looks nice, but given that we're all looking at dozens of games, building one from source isn't going to happen. Looks like you've put some time into this so I'll check back later in the voting period.

Monster Destroyer of Cities by Sedsibi 2015-08-27T14:28:00

If you update this, change the attack method from those little pellets into the monster arm clawing the buildings and make the player about 2x/3x taller to get a nice godzilla thing going on. Nicely done.

Monster can-can by nassi 2015-08-27T14:21:00

Hey, at least I got to see a disappointed monster face.

You Are The Münster by piromline 2015-08-27T12:02:00

Fun take on the genre and theme, but the difficulty setup was too oldschool for me. If nearly every jump is rather precise and, when missed, leads to death or falling down (both meaning have to do a section again and again) combined with the floaty way you move on platforms and the occasional bug where it doesn't jump, it gets frustrating.

Don't get me wrong, I like this thing which is all the more why I was annoyed by the way it wanted to impede progress with early NES like exact jumps with fatal consequences. Collision with spikes is also rather biased towards death. Still good, but just too fickle. (I got to the part after the cave)

Slasher by Miltage 2015-08-26T19:46:00

The premise is really good and it sets the mood well, but often I'm just waiting for minutes for a character to move to any area where I can get to them without being seen by anyone else. Would love a post-compo version with more "directed randomness" and/or ways to lure characters, etc.

Irksome Knight by zkenshin 2015-08-26T16:35:00

While I think the card system is cool, it may not be the best mechanic for games like these that will be played for about 5 minutes and then discarded, but still points for that. Nice art style.

Cranest Tales by Hifire 2015-08-26T16:28:00

First I was just walking around but after I fell off the map I waited for the humans who then killed me within 3 seconds. I tried again but it went similarly. Not sure what to do.

Monsters Vs. Cookies by kidando 2015-08-26T16:20:00

The hitboxes are still rather large for collisions, I feel and the cookies can run through walls. Surreal little title, zool-like retro art.

Possessed by TheZoq2 2015-08-26T16:15:00

The tutorial seemed to suggest that I could kill when I'm in human so I got a bit confused, you can also not leave your hiding place it seems, have to wait for a shape shift. Interesting idea.

Enigma by block97 2015-08-26T16:09:00

Good mood setting, of course given the theme, it's not much of an Enigma at all :) but still well played with # of shells etc.

Monsters vs. Aliens by tweedle 2015-08-26T15:49:00

The art is really nice and consistent. The game needs some more work wrt difficulty and controls.

PacGhost by NekuSoul 2015-08-26T14:21:00

Well executed implementation of this idea! Hope you try my entry as well for a 3rd person RE PoV (and role-reversal) Well done.

The Old One by Chris Olsen 2015-08-26T11:49:00

Though simple in execution, there is a lot of attention to detail here and the idea is quite original. Great job!

The Secondhand Screamporium of Dr. Spookhand by pikkpoiss 2015-08-26T11:40:00

Original idea! I like the odd setting of ghouls moving over a maze grid. Well executed.

Ladybirds massacre by celisoft 2015-08-26T11:11:00

The controls are inverted and it's somewhat tedious to play but it's an original setup for sure. Interesting.

Medieval alien encounter by thomz12 2015-08-26T11:02:00

My pew laser. It does nothing! Well, it works but the horde of knights soon becomes an avalanche of metal. Quick fun diversion.

Chompy by GeorgeBroussard 2015-08-26T10:56:00

Nice, fast and a full game! The monster is cute and it works well.

Tap Fight by xiaoming 2015-08-26T10:19:00

I clicked only the ghosts without bombs and timer maluses (it's a word!) but wasn't sure what was going on.

30 Seconds To Be The Monster by MartinFernandez 2015-08-26T10:11:00

Those were some very long seconds ;) (Actual game time is ~53 seconds) Wavy arms are cute. Good entry.

Tiny Sad Kraken by Erlend Aakre 2015-08-26T10:06:00

Cute. Krakie could have moved a tad faster. The mood and setting are very calm and soothing for a game about destroying ships, but it all seemed quite natural. Nice.

Human Hunter by spatanz 2015-08-26T09:54:00

Fun concept that goes insane fast. Fullscreen is recommended as I often was clicking madly outside of the unity field. Ha. Nice.

I am Death and Fire by derr 2015-08-26T09:47:00

Arrows. Arrows everywhere. Damn humans. What were those blue dudes with the haloes doing? Good atmosphere and setup. Nice how the dragon keeps itself in bounds automatically. Very nicely done.

Pass The Salt by Feetsalot 2015-08-25T22:27:00

I get a lot of buttons and windows and I click on them but I'm not sure stuff is happening. Also be sure to close one dialog before you open a second one, I often had multiple dialog contents mixed together.

The Child and The Beast by Spyboy 2015-08-25T22:13:00

Whenever I try to to things on NG, it just does not want to, can you add a simple swf embedded page?

Law of Nature by Louspirit 2015-08-25T22:12:00

The last? level with the fireball is nigh-impossible but up to that point it was all amusing. Mostly fun to see what next evolution of the monster sprite you came up with :)

Jello Adventure by FirebrushStudios 2015-08-25T22:03:00

In Safari none the backgrounds show up (but I still managed to complete the game ;) Theme link is somewhat tenuous but it's an enjoyable experience.

The Monster Inside by Random Seed Games 2015-08-25T21:47:00

Very mood and atmospheric. Not much of a game, but a nice story with soothing music. Nicely done.

GameApi chess by terop2 2015-08-25T21:31:00

It's chess, but it doesn't check for win conditions or turns. Funky visual style.

Cthess by scumbly 2015-08-25T21:27:00

Like A_K, trying the OS X version and I see a screen with static art and little houses and such in the middle but no key or mouse interaction does anything.

Super Boss by Daukan 2015-08-25T21:22:00

Interesting idea with the 2 phases, just that the hero AI is somewhat lacking :) And what is Bowser doing in there…

Osuldorb by danidre14 2015-08-25T21:11:00

The comic at the start is great.

Motherflipin' T-Rex! by mantis 2015-08-25T21:05:00

Half minute hero T-Rex! Love the high speed and spoken sound effects, esp. the countdown. Cool.

Kill Click by Mubox 2015-08-25T20:53:00

This showed up as a scaled up UI with a really low resolution so I had no idea what was going on.

Monster by Lou Byrd 2015-08-25T20:49:00

Uncomfortable and definitely for mature audiences only, and not in the "he says the f-word a lot-mature" sense. A surprising entry in this LD and certainly very evocative and the most real-world interpretation of the theme I've seen so far and will likely see. Damn.

I Hunger by David Yates 2015-08-25T20:26:00

The game part is debatable but the text was interesting and atmospheric enough. Images from ActRaiser came to mind at certain times. Hey that's and idea: next time, end the narrative part with a 2d platformer ;)

Peace is a lie! by komjaur 2015-08-25T20:07:00

Fun fast flying and shooting things sim. I do love how I pick up a bonus collectible and then crash into it while picking it up.

Pissed off Zombie by wdebowicz 2015-08-25T20:01:00

The firing rate and/or range of the humans is too high and makes it very hard to get any kind of momentum going with your zombies. There's a nice basis for a simple C&C game here tho. Cute zombies too

Roaring Randy Reptilian Playboy by Arskiainen 2015-08-25T18:01:00

I walked on one or two buildings and suddenly the FPS went to 0 and the whole map exploded. That was interesting. I like the sounds of the teeny tiny tanks and soldiers. Though rather simple, some people may assert that this is as entertaining as the recent officially released game. Bravo.

My Summer as an Infected Macrophage by unitycoder_com 2015-08-25T17:57:00

Metaball Macrophage! Mainly missing an end state, but I like the physical movement, sounds, and visuals. Also, quite the original idea. Too bad it's very short. Well done.

Edge of Grey by MinionStudios 2015-08-25T17:45:00

Atmosphere is nice, not sure why audio voting is enabled as I don't hear anything. The room name interstitials are a nice touch, but um… how do I get past the first axe-slugging guy? My guy seems to limply poke his sword at him but I bite it every time.

Alice & August: A Love Story by nic 2015-08-25T17:35:00

I'd like the walking speed higher are the hallways shorter. Seems interesting but this maze is even more disorienting than the one in my entry ;)

Dr. Cutie & Mr. Monster by oostap 2015-08-25T17:27:00

It's basically impossible to escape from a red blob so with only 2 players playing any game ends quickly.

BlobZilla by baldman 2015-08-25T17:24:00

Cute playing screen. Didn't really get why people were sometimes set free or said "aww". Appropriately awkward controls.

Free Hugs Kraken by crucknuk 2015-08-25T17:19:00

I'd like to play this but NG is giving me grief, any chance of a standalone flash embed?

The Floor is Lava! by #hashtag 2015-08-25T17:16:00

Can't really test this without other players. Nice art style.

Dinner In The Dark by DinnerInTheDark 2015-08-25T17:08:00

Fun take on the idea, somewhat sad I could not just eat the prey when I was right on him but instead have to wait for the end of the rails. Also, after the music buildup and scream at the end, the titles fade away and he's still alive! Good entry.

Medusa's Bloodthirst by Maxom 2015-08-25T16:56:00

It's Medusaleks!

Sudden Peace by PizzaPortal 2015-08-25T16:48:00

The monster is kind of adorable. Nice.

Escape the Doom by m3games 2015-08-25T16:42:00

Figured out the trick after a bit to just lure out the demons and then keep back and pick em off. Interesting take on the theme, for some perhaps a bit disturbing. Good effort.

COP RED by dizshok 2015-08-25T16:30:00

Nice to have destructible terrain but I got stuck in the area with 3 barrels and 3 bad guys on them. Can't seem to shoot or jump my way out of there. Adrenaline level is good, collision checks a bit less so :)

Bad Kitty by JennyS 2015-08-25T16:22:00

Simple but effective. Smart to have the be called Monster for literal interpretation of theme. The sound makes the whole thing come together. Nice.

Three Bags Full by EmptyThroneTeam 2015-08-25T16:10:00

Sound indeed never loaded for me (tried a few times), this would be perfectly legal to fix during the voting period. So far (up to day 4) its' been clicking on sheep and clicking on sad people. Nice drawn art style.

Deap Sea Monster by bumbu 2015-08-25T15:59:00

Given that your light diminishes at a high pace, it's frustrating that submarines can move away effortlessly or just hide right next to terrain, causing any gains from catching them to be immediately nullified by crashing into the terrain. Simple but effective visual style.

Dragon Defense by Serch 2015-08-25T15:53:00

Argh, to my brain these controls are inverted. I feel like pushing into the direction of the arrow every time. Cute art style and fun idea.

They Look Like Ants by Tortoise 2015-08-25T15:49:00

Find myself wondering why death is represented by bananas… Interesting sandbox.

Loveless : a multiplayer story by Mark Venturelli 2015-08-25T15:40:00

So, it's the prisoner's dilemma with LD people. Interestingly, the stories of the characters themselves don't really play a role in the ending beyond me choosing someone to decide for.

Nice art style and story setup.

The Supper by jrhee 2015-08-25T15:20:00

Very nice interpretation and implementation of the theme. Atmosphere is great. Only downside is that it is truly completely up to chance if you will win, this feels like it could go more rogue-like where every cycle where you are outed, you slowly gain some kind of experience or stats.
Very nice!

Neighbourhood Rampage by Coomzy 2015-08-25T15:09:00

Most of the humans seem to die of their own accord by running into things and I can run into humans without them dying. I think I'm missing something. Should I force them into obstacles?

The March of the Dropped Band by Dukio 2015-08-25T15:02:00

I like the idea of essentially throwing out sound channels. With this practice round done, next time build on the idea and make the full game you want, it should be nice.

rIPoff by VideoDog 2015-08-25T14:57:00

An absurdist take on IP theft by means of an evil AI robot thing, certainly different :) Controls are a bit weird, but for others, just keep jump down permanently and you'll be pushed up from any side of a platform. Good one.

Get Out! by Reversal Mirror 2015-08-25T14:45:00

Sometimes the people would walk straight past a couple of bombs, do they only blow up now and then? Nice entry.

Vault-LD33 by cmayhem 2015-08-25T14:36:00

I built up some mud around a ball of gold but then it was suddenly gone. Do the knights take down structures?

Hi It's Julian by baboum 2014-05-04T20:31:00

BTW, to make it work on Saf, instead of using the onended attribute of sounds, attach an "ended" event to the sound elements, like sound.addEventListener("ended", func, false);

Pyramid Escape by MrJavaFrank 2014-04-27T21:21:00

The .sh file seems to have Windows line endings so Ubuntu complains: "./PyramidEscape.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" (note the ^M)

Trying to run the .jar on Mac OS X 10.9.3 yields the following error:
JavaVM WARNING: JAWT_GetAWT must be called after loading a JVM
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not get the JAWT interface, and then a stack trace going back to your initGL call.

On WinXP and Win7 (in a VMWare session) the game works but moving the mouse results in extreme sinusoidal vertical and horizontal movement of the camera angle, may be a VMWare issue but haven't seen that problem pop up in other apps, the mouse works fine in the menus.

Finally, if I open the in game menu with Esc, I'm transported to a random location in (and sometime outside of) the maze, odd.

Sorry that I can't get it to run, it looks like a nice game.

Ludum Dare: The Musical by ilo 2013-01-07T22:19:00

It's the evil version of Celes' opera performance in FF6! Original and nicely carried out. Well done.

The Fix by Crimsoneer 2013-01-07T21:58:00

Often the commands would not respond at all or do nothing, weird. Fun samples.

Eurydice by AnnaGavaldaKedavra 2013-01-07T21:39:00

Do nothing: win, maybe
Press left: lose, escape: slide show, hold escape: win

More an art piece / statement than a game, finish it and show us the full vision.

Rex (Applet) by Bouyer 2013-01-07T21:29:00

Rex is cute. Funny sound effects and basic but consistent play. Even a boss character who sounded miffed about being beaten.

Runner of a viod by Badrpas 2013-01-07T21:10:00

Theme link is not there. I got to 80k by holding right and mashing space and achieving.. Ludicrous Speed.

X-Moon by leafo 2013-01-07T21:01:00

Interesting and disorienting spherical effect. Hard to play. Will have to try again and not die.

Kill the hero with fast swarms of bats! by agmcleod 2013-01-07T18:02:00

Reincarnating bat kills man, film at 11.

Stealther - The Great Heist by Dissing 2013-01-07T17:53:00

Faster movement would be nice, maybe with a bit of acceleration, not too much.

Prison Break! by clueless 2013-01-07T17:10:00

Why don't the guards shoot back? I had no need for the stand back. Stand in sweet spot, hold fire, wait, collect, win.

Final Plan by Doublecaster 2013-01-06T19:29:00

Great artists steal indeed. Some nice inspiration from FF (Tactics) Vincent kicking my arse with his gunshots all the time while keeping a distance is somewhat difficult to overcome. A hit% addition would make it more fair for all parties.

The Maze of Evil by RawBits 2013-01-06T19:21:00

The hero's health would just reset randomly after fights or other moments, or so it seemed. Traps also didn't do diddly except reset his health to full. Not sure how I would win this.

Escuro by azure_nimbus 2013-01-06T19:14:00

It seems like a nice puzzle, and since coming up with the idea for the mechanics is the hard part of this game, it's impressive you got this done in 3 hours. I'm just not that much of a straight up puzzle fan, I'm afraid.

Cat Licker by Just_delete_it 2013-01-06T19:06:00

Wat.

SUPER Witch Hunter Pro by Gungnir 2013-01-06T17:43:00

I got a strategy going for a while that lets me go on forever and that kind of makes me sad. I stopped at 50k points and Witchfinder General rank.

It's good that this topic brings out entries like these that may otherwise be hard to justify making. It's good that playing this stuff like this is enticing until you realise what you're doing. The increasingly undulating crowd and louder chanting with the very subtle soundscape behind it was very effective in setting the mood. I think you did a good job in abstracting away just enough to make it a game while still allowing you to see that you're being a monster.

Polished and well designed and one of the best showcases of the theme. Make people feel uncomfortable. Good good.

"I Never COULD Get The Hang Of Thursdays..." by Zed 2013-01-06T16:46:00

I had to mute early on so I wouldn't start hurting people. Quite a bit of animation involved and a lot of verbiage, the game parts are a bit underdeveloped.

Metal Minions by zkenshin 2013-01-06T16:33:00

Can you recompile with the XNA Reach profile? Right now I can't run it on a DX9 machine.

Master Evil by frogmaster 2013-01-05T21:38:00

This looks like a very original idea but only once did I get to enter my number before I got to the box because clicking anywhere will start the simulation and I need to focus the input box. It's fun to be mysterious but it's no fun to be needlessly frustrated. Again, original idea, marred by basic UI problems.

Big Bad Wolf by Dir3kt 2013-01-05T21:30:00

I'm getting a strong Super Crate Box vibe from this one in terms of tone and style, even music (which is not a bad thing). Basic, but arcade-y. Nice touches and gameplay. Some more tweaking on hitboxes, spawn frequencies and other details and it's a great contender.

The Red Hood by OrangeeZ 2013-01-05T21:19:00

I'd like to have moved a bit faster and spawning back at the beginning every day means a good (slow) walk every day. A goal or reason of doing what I'm doing would be good too.

Art is good and the ambient sounds, tough sparse, are good too. Because of the polish of the visual style the game feels unfinished. Nice, but incomplete.

Slab Judgment by Mysterarts 2013-01-05T21:07:00

I didn't see the very faint ghosts going up first so I didn't know what I needed to do. Once that was cleared up it was a fun little game, bit disorienting as the mouse and left-right controls seem to be conflicting in my brain :)

Heist by 64Mega 2013-01-05T19:19:00

Very nice little game. Fun little touches like the eyes looking out.

Obamapology by SuperDisk 2013-01-05T19:08:00

I get what you're trying to convey but focusing on 1 or 2 levels instead of 4 would have simplified things. Also, your collision detection is so horrid that I'm sure it qualifies as a federal crime.

Kill The Day! by 2A1S 2013-01-05T18:57:00

Quite a complete game, really. Intro sequences are nice and the level is difficult until you learn how to make use of the bugs in the AI (get soldiers to shoot at zombies trapped behind a wall and then fire at will, soldiers will not change targets) Not at all something to be embarrassed about. Nice job!

Crime Worm by dem0 2013-01-05T18:43:00

For an hour it's not bad. What's sad is that there are serious entries out there with less functionality than this one.

Sheep Muncher by CptJecht 2013-01-05T18:39:00

Speed this sucker up x5 and add more simultaneous sheep.

Behind Blue Pixels by azurenimbus 2013-01-05T18:34:00

Interesting idea but for games like this precise movement is critical and every time I tap a direction I float about 24px. Didn't get what the weak spot was but I damaged my other self anyway by luck.

GLORPLAX III by Pacifist Games 2013-01-05T00:17:00

Bwuuhhhaaaaglgl. Made the full stretch. *Obligatory joke about laggy controls* Dare I say the antagonist is sort of cute? Loved the little controller sounds and the faux-terminal graphics. Game had just the right length and difficulty. Nicely done.

Evil Keeper by XmmmX 2013-01-05T00:08:00

Crashes on start on my WinXP with DX9 VM. The "windows encountered a problem" dialog.

HitlerZilla by DavidErosa 2013-01-05T00:04:00

Fun little game, was hoping I could destroy the buildings on the side. The hair-overlay is quite hilarious.

Balloon Bandit! by Ed Okonik 2013-01-04T23:43:00

Very polished entry, well done. Balloon movement, visuals, sounds, little details, very nice.The police balloons would be better if they would not shoot at a regular interval and also try to chase a bit more, only then in lower numbers. Any more than 2 or 3 at a time is too much. I know the trend these days is endless levels but I'd like to see some goal in here too. All in all, very nice.

Satan's Booger by ddionisio 2013-01-04T23:30:00

Scaling on level up is a cool effect, the last "enemy" is somewhat disturbing (wut) and I could finish the original version just fine. Sound is the main missing ingredient here and up to the dudes with swords you can just blast left to right and win. Nice visuals and original idea!

Infect the World by Cyboot 2013-01-04T19:06:00

Didn't hear any music? Nice visual style and sounds. Died in round 3, will try again later. Not sure what the spawn option does.

Kidnap the princess by uwap 2013-01-04T18:44:00

With some more gravitational physics thrown in and a non-superwoman princess this would be more fun.

Hide 'n' Seek by totalspelnerd 2013-01-04T18:38:00

Not finished yet. I see the idea but come back in a bit with a full version!

Nemesis by dj_pale 2013-01-04T18:26:00

Fun idea and a few test levels to try it out in with explanation and sound! Not bad for a day's work.

Poacher by kulhajs 2013-01-04T18:21:00

Can you recompile again with the Reach profile? DX9 only VM here..

Skeleton's Revenge by Dr. Mo 2013-01-04T18:11:00

My hands are still cramping from the arrows + KL combo, ow. I liked that the rules were as normal, i.e. they git hit by me and spikes, and I only get hit by weapons, good good. Also, of course going left instead of right. I did ragequit after the 10th missed jump that looks normal but is actually almost pixel precise. Plz 2 let me jump further. Good music and sounds.

Inverseteroids by gigimoi00 2013-01-04T17:58:00

Can't run on WinXP, I fear this may be a 64-bit app and XP is 32..

The Great Train Robbery by monkeymad2 2013-01-04T17:54:00

Genuinely sad you overreached and did not finish. This looks like it might have been fun. Maybe a post-compo edition?

BREAK! by LucaPavone 2013-01-04T17:50:00

Good focus on a small set of hazards and damage mechanisms. In the beginning I was wondering if the game would have been better off without the music but then it evolved twice and I understood where you were going with it. Nice. Good back story. Short and sweet.

Super Generic Princess Saver by Robotic 2013-01-04T17:34:00

Art is nice, the monsters close in quickly and the faux-3D collision is funky and I can't walk while hitting so nothing much happens and then I die.

My Kingdom for a Line Block by chas 2013-01-04T10:49:00

Fun idea, can't really test it out as I live on a deserted mountain with only a goat to keep me company.

Shining Farce by De10ter 2013-01-04T10:46:00

Well, that was quick. Indeed a bit light on the content, let us know when you've expanded on the levels, story, etc. Should take more than a few days, surely :)

Dark Lord Manager 2012 by TakeNapEveryday 2013-01-04T10:33:00

It seems I could have replaced my actions with a tiny script. I liked all the little lines and humorous actions but the game itself is indeed rather random. Expand on this a bit and let us know.

the BRINK by radmars 2013-01-04T10:09:00

Very nice full game design with end-boss and sad conclusion. Music, play style and art reminds me of good SNES era games. If you can expand on this later can you add 1 or 2 levels at the start to get used to things? Right now you're kind of thrown right in the middle with no explanation (also like SNES era games). Brilliant entry, well done.

Villain Glance by Evilion 2013-01-03T15:48:00

I was often almost continuously covered in viewing arcs so I had to wait for them to disperse. Maybe start out with fewer peers and then in waves increase their number / base viewing angle?

Flamenco, tapas & siesta by Mesene 2013-01-03T15:41:00

I can't say I felt like I was doing anything that affected the global opinion, sure some other stats went up and down but not sure who or what. Movement is very slow and the collision checks are rather odd. It looks like an interesting little thing with a message but it eluded me a bit. I'll try the tweaked version a bit later.

Subjugated by Arowx 2013-01-03T15:35:00

The non-shaded object and controls didn't work for my brain, also in the web player it doesn't capture the mouse so I can't turn too much because then my mouse is out of the unity view or even the window. WIl try again later.

Getaway by Valeour 2013-01-03T15:30:00

Variable speeds of the police cars and some limited vertical movement of them would make it a bit more dynamic. Timed bomb mechanic is ok. Main thing missing is some goal, maybe a wave-based system?

Bank Job by jedilemons 2013-01-03T14:25:00

The randomness and tight packing of the guards make this more an exercise in frustration and luck than tactics or strategy. Look at MGS: VR Missions (on the PS1) for a good example of this type of play.

Nightmare by Jimun 2013-01-03T14:02:00

Looks nice and good idea of taking over the shape of other animals but the intro part of difficult and slow and ... I'll try again later.

Sinister Simon by Puffi 2013-01-03T13:49:00

I only got the 3 games through luck of their randomness as the timers are insane.

Harold is an Executioner by PaulSB 2013-01-03T13:47:00

Good to point out that villains are often just some random guy. Well done.

The Great Summoning by Jiyko 2013-01-03T13:30:00

Can you recompile with the "Reach" XNA profile? Can only play DX9 games..

Kim Jong Un's Ultimate Childhood Game by Gemberkoekje 2013-01-03T13:28:00

Not sure what Angry Birds 0.1 alpha is doing in here, but it's mildly amusing. No need to rehash what other comments already pointed out. Keep experimenting!

Atomic Creep Spawner!! by deepnight 2013-01-03T11:54:00

Whurbl? Just making all these animations graphics would take me 3 days, and they would suck. Truly inspiring to see such a good entry. Any comments I have are pointless as the polish and feel you've created in 2 days is amazing. Time to start practicing drawing...

You Villainous Person You... by Msquirrel 2013-01-03T10:44:00

A Wolf3D hallway system with a minecraft arm a game not makes. After I tried in earnest I saw the maze was rather large and then I just opened op map.png and walked to the end (got other stuff to do :) and I see the last room is different visually and has objects. More visual diversity would give hints where I am in the maze. Some monsters, pushable walls and treasures and then get a strongly worded letter from id!

You ARE The Villain by Kwrky 2013-01-03T10:28:00

Fun idea, if the text had been a bit faster and a bit more sound (maybe some music from the SNES game family feud) and e.g. a timer on questions it would be better paced. Questions were on mark and drawings were fun. Somehow the completely static contestants were funny because of the camera focusing. Nicely done.

The Fall of Mr. Wily by StoneMonkeyStudios 2013-01-03T10:03:00

Nod to Megaman, big nod to Office Space, nod to Falling Down, you've got the right inspiration alright. Quick cuts of the games was smart to not dwell too long on any activity and then the release of destroying it all. Good visual story with some game elements.

Hunt yourself, or something by rvmook 2013-01-02T14:24:00

The darkness sets in very quickly and I had a few Arghl moments walking all over the map to set traps. I would make setting the less a lot less sensitive because often I was just pixeling about, find the exact right spot to hit space on or under the arrow.

Fun idea that you are the wolf and the trap setter. Would be fun if the people emoted a bit more when finding you out or just in general.

The Fall of the Shapes Father by WiseGAMER 2013-01-02T14:07:00

Took me 10 deaths to figure out I should hold the A key down to actually use the sword instead of sort-of using it. Good first game though. Next time look at bounding box collisions and make those boxes a bit smaller to give it a more real and "honest" feel. Using a sword should be a hit once key. Did not expect that I could (and had to) wall jump!

I like the storyline setup and selected music though a bit odd as another entry used the same music. Keep it up!

ALL EARTHLINGS MUST DIE!!!!!! by savethejets1 2013-01-02T13:37:00

I grokked the controls at some point but they are group-based and they get confused when the alien groups move to the next line.

Few bugs here and there. I got two player ships at some point and to win I can let my numbers reduce to 1 or 2 on the same column and then keep going right to force them to move down all the time above a shielded area and win.

Confused me at first as I was trying to control the spaceship (force of habit). Visual style looks nice with the pixelated bloom effect to simulate old CRTs. Good sfx and music.

Sealed Evil by Neonlare 2013-01-02T13:28:00

I'm sorry, but I quit when I finally collected 10 souls in level 1 with the annoyingly quick fleeing victims and saw that I had to get 10 more just to get a single update or the next level.

The intro and graphics and sound are all very promising and well done and then the game part is, well, not fun. If you can make a post-compo version with a fixed 1st level or altered upgrade path I will gladly try again because based on the early part you clearly know how to design things.

Patient Zero by burtlo 2013-01-02T13:11:00

Music is good and sets the tone well.
The game itself is basic though a nice touch some people will panic and run away.

Not sure why but the game performs very badly. Lag sets in as soon as 2 or more infection animations occur at the same time, this should not be problem, even for Ruby.

If you speed this up x 2 in both movement and time left the whole thing will become more frantic, then with a good running animation for the anti-hero it will gain a lot of character.

Vixen by bentosmile 2013-01-01T22:12:00

That was horrible. I'm going to cry in a corner now. Bravo, I guess.

Internet Avenger by Nolan C 2013-01-01T22:04:00

Simple, cute and funny.

Infernal Goat by Atridas 2013-01-01T17:59:00

Funky art. Like other tower defense style entries, this feels more like a visual show than a full game but I'm sure if you really get into it with swapping spaces in and out it requires focus.

Zombie Escape by godan 2013-01-01T17:27:00

The movement of the rock spawning places means I can just wait and eventually enough of my dudes will enter the blue cylinder of salvation. Mood is good with proper sounds and looks. Characters were more like souls than zombies so the theme connection is a bit tenuous. But overall great amount of content and functionality for 2 days!

The other side by vrld 2012-12-31T18:33:00

A double reversal! I'm bad but my role ultimately is to lose. Didn't get that in the beginning. Brilliant idea to take 3 well known simple games and implement them just far enough and in reverse. Visual style is nice even if I feel people cheat when they add Instagram filters to everything :) Well done, only missing an "all clear" screen when I (un)master all three games. Very nice.

Bad Puppy by csanyk 2012-12-31T18:06:00

Your mirror link is a link to your own dropbox folder, so if I click on it, I get an error saying LD25 dir doesn't exist.

Bunnie by Dmitrix 2012-12-31T18:03:00

Main character looks cool, beyond that this feels more like a 48hr entry. Congrats on finishing your first (LD) game, maybe add levels / goals next? Also I did not see any pigs, not sure what other people are talking about.

Trouble in Kitten Town by Ansjh 2012-12-31T17:56:00

Ran fine on WinXP in a VM. Not the most original idea but the mechanics work pretty well. If you start with bombs, nobody panics and you can keep going forever, then I tried a goat who just turned on me instead. Bummer.

AGENT 08 by morganwk 2012-12-31T17:48:00

Visual style is nice and sets a good tone, once you swat all the bugs, release a post-compo version.

Entropic by the31 2012-12-31T17:25:00

Stange and atmospheric, with the messages coming in and figuring out what the controls do, no idea what putting those circles on the yellow lines does. Bit disappointed that there was no real game so to speak, but that it because the environment was compelling enough for me to want to stay there for a bit.

Crazy Evil Laptop by impulse9 2012-12-31T16:56:00

I fear this is one of those games that only its parents can truly love :)
I was a NES adept so of course shunned all DOS games so this is a nice peek into another past for me.

Kittenzilla 3: The Return of Mecha-Kittenzilla by quill18 2012-12-31T11:21:00

Good job favouring kittens and hating Michael Bay. Concept works well and collapsing buildings are good. If I could shoot burst shots my finger would be less sore.

Sheep Barbecue by bompo 2012-12-31T10:52:00

Inverted mouse threw me off and the playing area, while realistically large, is too large. Sheep seem to sometimes have uncanny powers of vision. Like the look, WebGL version worked great (Safari 6, OS X 10.8) Cool idea, up the pace and tweak it and it'll be great. Impressive for a 48hr entry!

MidBoss by Eniko 2012-12-31T10:43:00

A bit too oldskool for me in terms of difficulty and UI. The idea certainly sounds good and it looks nice, like 90s PC RPGs. I will try this again a bit later.

Lunch Hunter by zairon 2012-12-31T10:14:00

I used the same strategy as someone else here, reduce my lunch to 1 grape then the game turns into mouse-button-holder-pro. The volume of ants increased rather rapidly, I wonder why they so eagerly want that grape?

Great visuals. Appropriate sounds, though because of the sheer volume of ants they get repetitive quickly.

Also, my prejudice about Java was once again confirmed when the light weight game library was downloading packages for about 5 mins :) Download speed was low, dunno why.

Final Days of the Victor by KhaoTom 2012-12-31T09:52:00

Good writing. Not a game as much as a story, but a good story relevant to the theme. Nice.

Robot Hunts Kitten by edric_garran 2012-12-31T09:44:00

I Win! ..? Cute setup and sprites. Evil robot overwhelmed by swarm of kittens.

Tale of Scale by ratking 2012-12-31T01:12:00

What the? That is brilliant. Never seen this used this way. Brain-breaking bizarreness. Got stuck a few times and it all takes a bit long but this is certainly worth investigating more!

Goatstar by shinD 2012-12-31T00:33:00

Couldn't get it to work on Mac OS X 10.8 (even when I inserted the 1.2alpha of pyglet needed, no window appears) but worked on WinXP.

Good atmosphere through the visuals, music and scene buildup but then it's basically Z FTW. I like the ship graphic and the music is great.

Like others, I too thought controls were broken until I read the comment that they start after a timeout, which is very true to how these bosses operate, they don't just fire all kinds of attacks randomly but it would merit a mention somewhere that this is the case.

Eater by RokB 2012-12-30T23:19:00

I used your entry to practice 2 things, learning SFML by porting SFML projects from Win to Mac (the other one is Revenge Bear) and also in this case porting from SFML2.0 to 1.6 (this was necessitated by me already having compiled 1.6 libs but no 2.0 libs ready and being lazy about it.)

You can get Eater Mac here (10.7+ required for libc++ runtime) :
http://logic-dream.com/ext/EaterMac.zip

@RokB, feel free to link to this download in your entry (or reupload it somewhere else) If you want the Xcode project or the 1.6 converted source, let me know here or on Twitter (@zenmumbler)

Biggest pain point in porting was that SFML 2 rects are left, top, width, height and in 1.6 they're left, top, right, bottom. If I had had SFML 2 libs precompiled, porting would have consisted solely of creating the Xcode project, dragging in the files, putting in some paths and assembling the .app bundle.

As for the game: simple concept, functional, multiple levels, an intro and ending screen and even sound and music! That is something a lot of LD48 entries can't say. Well done.

Lucifer's Stand by Bloodyaugust 2012-12-30T20:16:00

The graphic of the 2nd demon (gray one) reminds me of devil from Forbidden Forest. Spam buttons, win game! Even though Michael cheated by hiding in a corner with a ray of blue blobs to destroy everything coming to him. The brown + brown color scheme makes it hard to see what is going on. Nice idea.

A Light To Kill By by TinyPlatypus 2012-12-30T20:11:00

I found that screwdriver quickly mostly because I played through many escape games before. Can't really say if the hint for the last 2 "candidates" is there, but nice that you used a hint system. Not sure what the 4-dial thing is supposed to be but it works well as a shortcut to cut down on the number of scenes you had to render! Effective. Good looks, ambitious plan for all the art + backstory. Good run.

Dr. Ludum's Exploding Goats by TechnoBulldog 2012-12-30T19:57:00

Controls make this more complicated than it should have been. Space vs A and instead of 1-5 maybe some kind of repeated keystroke to inc fuse time. Also would like to see the explosion radius so I can plan placement better.

Race Against The Machine by Lapinou 2012-12-30T19:36:00

The robot moves quickly and the levels are random, so there's no real time to apply any kind of tactics in saving him. If I just leave him alone and remove all obstacles he still dies rather quickly most of the time.

I like the idea, if you expand on this I think this actually calls for more designed levels and a larger view area so players can plan ahead through +/- obstacle courses.

Click to Lock and Load by RandomM00 2012-12-30T19:29:00

Looks nice, but slow it down a bit.

Tinysoft 2 by wurstknifte 2012-12-30T19:16:00

Feels a bit more like a 48hr entry than a jam entry in terms of content. I like the atmosphere and theme you create in the game using text and visuals.

Cursed by Wet Heads 2012-12-30T18:42:00

same problem as Pixel^3 on Ubuntu 12 with Oracle Java 7. On Mac OS X 10.8.2 the Jar can't be launched (Java 6).. sorry.

They're In Our Base! by Dezzles 2012-12-30T18:35:00

I was playing cards and filling up the maze but it wasn't very clear why only some of the spies moved each turn. Showing dice for their movement roll would be good (or eqv.) Basically more status info!

Path to Death by Steven Colling 2012-12-30T18:28:00

It looks nice and things happen and all the upgrade trees are cool but I don't really feel like I'm doing much by upgrading or what is going on in general.

Piracy: To Yarr and Beyond! by firestorm713 2012-12-30T18:15:00

I was either floating through and endless void or being attacked by dozens of little ships, but did not see (or recognise) a base or civilian ships. I was more amused by syncing the laser/tractor beam sounds with the music than the game itself, I'm afraid.

Instance by celiacjoe 2012-12-30T18:08:00

Interesting concept that starts out on a difficult level. I would experiment more with it if I didn't have to restart the whole app every time I died. To get good at this you probably need to try things out a lot and now I'm punished for trying.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2012-12-29T22:53:00

The tons of shotgun wielding thugs killing me gave me flashbacks of Max Payne 1 which is both good and bad :) Looks like a fleshed out character development arc and story but don't know the end yet because of the aforementioned shotgun wielding thugs. Very nice.

Evil Monkey by laaph 2012-12-29T21:59:00

Didn't get any goats so far, but so far I've seen a reasonable reversal of DK. The player AI has a right-going bias so indeed if I time my drops right I can be there for a long time.

A Heroic Sacrifice by falnos24865 2012-12-29T01:16:00

Is it possible to win this? My kind of developed hero was slain near instantly by the pink octopus of doom. Fun idea of building up a resistance of the hero by pitting him against monsters. Original!

Clowns Vs. Bunnies by angela 2012-12-29T00:41:00

Moody and horrific circus style music (OMG the circus with clowns, fire and brimstone) The click and then click and drag was unintuitive and the aim of the clowns is anti-Wayne Gretzky-like (i.e. they shoot where the bunny is, not where it's going to be) but the visuals and audio play well together. Tie it together and make the clowns look more natural (i.e. evil) and you've got something going here.

For reasons on why clowns are evil: read http://www.ihateclowns.com or play any recent Castlevania game.

Alien Command by Mabi 2012-12-29T00:24:00

Meta-note: hot damn do I hate scammy file download services. These people make the pirate bay look like the dalai lama..

Anyway, the game: fun little details and workable proto-game. Good for 7 hours certainly. Funny outro-screen.

Nothal by GSUIrregulars 2012-12-29T00:05:00

Actually works fine in Safari and Chrome too (Mac OS X 10.8.2) well, just as "fine" as in Firefox.

I'd like to read some backstory on this one as the Jam should have provided ample time to move forward. The epic style music and um, interesting generated names (Alcatraz Weingarten?) show that you had some big plans but didn't get very far.

I'll search for posts by you guys. Better luck next time.

The Vault by mrfreire 2012-12-28T23:35:00

Very nicely done, good atmosphere with minimal graphics and sounds. Has good level buildup and design (only level 3 is a step back in difficulty) It rewards patience, .. but it crashed after I finished level 5.

Nice and peaceful. Very polished for a compo entry.

Abrupt Salvation by NostraDamon 2012-12-28T17:15:00

Finally got that Princess! Rather satisfying too. First dyna-jumped to the 2nd floor and then planted another one which collapsed the whole structure. WUHAHA. Definitely high marks in the fun factor. Excellent styling and music choices too.

Kill'im by syawqy 2012-12-28T16:22:00

Ow, my clicking hand.

Lets kill the king by mkpictures 2012-12-28T16:18:00

Won't judge the music as it's not made by you. Collision detection is way off for bullets, I've unloaded warehouses of bullets into, um, red dudes and they pass straight through. Jumping also reacts late making the jumps in the 2nd screen annoying. Try a few more platformers and add some physics too! Too few platformers this LD.

You are the Hero by dragonfi 2012-12-28T16:10:00

To run this on Mac OS X, I had to do the following:

Get the 1.2alpha of pyglet here: http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/downloads/detail?name=pyglet-1.2alpha1.zip&can=2&q=1.2alpha1

Place this folder next to main.py, change the main.py path setup line to to use 1.2alpha1 folder instead of 1.1.4 pyglet folder.

And it works! @dragonfi you can use this to update your archive if you want. You are permitted to fix crashing issues.

As for the game, the idea and concept are nice, with the text guiding the scenes and the atmosphere they conjure up. I think it will be worth it to put in better visuals and AI for the "enemies". I liked it, but it is clearly in an alpha state.

Carnage by SXPanda 2012-12-28T15:42:00

Left and right clicking for controls was a bit tricky. I first tried this windowed, and in all the franctic clicking I created some new folders on my desktop :)

Amazing what you got done in 48 hours in terms of material and functionality. If the game was a bit simpler and more polished it would be one of the best games too.

BTW: fore Mac OS X users, the app as is doesn't work due to a permissions problem. I uploaded a fixed version to:
http://logic-dream.com/ext/CarnageMac.zip

@SXPanda, feel free to link to the fixed version. I only had to add execute permission to the app in the bundle to make it work.

Jelly Hunt by bentog 2012-12-28T15:16:00

Would be fun if the Jellycops just patrol and have to catch you in the act and then start chasing you. Odd scoring mechanism but it works! Odd music.

The Villains' Empire by Colapsydo 2012-12-28T14:49:00

Didn't figure out until 2nd playthrough what I was controlling. Not sure if I can win or use tactics. Interesting idea, not sure how to make it work in this form.

Target: Restaurant ! by illugion 2012-12-28T14:32:00

Looks promising, please finish and update this page when you're done with a post-compo version.

Silent night by krutech 2012-12-28T13:37:00

Damn, crashes when trying to run on XP (with DX9)

The Crown Jewels Job by Will Edwards 2012-12-28T13:33:00

The art is very good, collision checks and physics are wonky. Technically impressive level editor even though I couldn't make it work for me (which makes it more impressive that you got a whole game done with it)

Post-compo work is to get the physics and collisions working properly and to use light-dark hints or other visual ways of making it clear which areas are passable and which aren't. Well done.

The Maze Heist by Huskitch 2012-12-28T13:14:00

Can you recompile this with the "Reach" XNA profile? That way it can run on DX9 setups, not just ones with DX11. Thanks!

Susie's Xmas Hit List by AdricZero 2012-12-28T13:11:00

Not the greatest shoot-m-up ever but the theme is right. Nice idea for sort of resource available based on position. Santa should have just pelted that brat with a ton of gifts to take her out.

Snap by fishbrain 2012-12-28T13:02:00

Damn, very disturbing atmosphere and conveying the message with abstract graphics that make this playable. Sounds and visuals create a sense of chaos and panic.

End Boss by Ditto 2012-12-28T12:57:00

Excellent art and implementation of this idea. The sluggishness of a mega-boss really is clearly conveyed. The player AI is rather basic but it's hard enough already. Damn players!

Den Of The Beast by NukeTheBunnys 2012-12-28T12:49:00

The app doesn't work on WinXP because it's likely a 64-bit app, which will not work on normal XP installations. Recompile as a 32-bit app and it should be fine.

uSlender by bechsen 2012-12-28T12:43:00

The music is more appropriate for an YTMND page, not for a scary setting (at all) For this simple type of game, I was expecting more for a Jam entry.

For Greater Good by Deykoweec 2012-12-28T12:39:00

Running this in an Ubuntu 12 VM with Oracle Java 7 and the app starts and shows the menu labels but no images are drawn at all and new game does not work (settings does, btw) so it's not getting to the image resources. I kept the hierachy intact ("res" dir next to fgg.jar) Not sure how to fix.

Considered Harmful by shieldofvalour 2012-12-28T12:30:00

Reminiscent of old games where, indeed you die a lot or get stuck on some a-ha puzzle. Writing is good and sets the tone well.

Christmas Jeer by Gorp900 2012-12-28T12:25:00

Neither of the 2 download links work, I'm redirected to the main page of your file download host.

Lord Evil Von Angsty was alone...in a prison by berky 2012-12-28T12:20:00

Rating this empty so it no longer shows up in my suggestions. Please update the submission, you are allowed to fix problems that make it unplayable.

Slender Man The Demented Demon by Divitos 2012-12-28T12:18:00

I would remove the HTML5 link as the script for that version is not working. As for the game, simple idea, but it works. BTW, if you rate other people's games, yours will also be presented to more people.

BAD MOTHA... Nature! by Freakill 2012-12-28T12:09:00

As others noted, this is basically the Disasters menu from SimCity 1 rebuilt as the main game. Good idea that matches the theme and well done.

The Torture Chamber by fr_automatik 2012-12-28T12:02:00

It's a toy but nicely done with all the ragdoll stuff going on. Not much more to say about it really.

RobTheBank by dvdking 2012-12-28T11:57:00

That was brilliant. Multiple settings and actions, a story line, a boss enemy with health bar and dinner at the end. What more do you need?

Very good use of lo-tech graphics, sound and mechanics to make a full game in 48h. Excellent.

GoatSoccer by hirsch 2012-12-28T11:49:00

This has no link to the theme at all but technically interesting idea for a 4-player soccer (or football in civilized countries) game. Worked fine in Mac OS X with 4 tabs in Terminal. Now if only I had friends with telnet...

Pong Inversion by ryebread761 2012-12-28T11:24:00

Playing as the ball I'd like to have more control over my speed and angle and trying to "confuse" the paddles with strange movement. Try changing this around to have more realistic behavior by giving your objects velocity and other attributes. Keep on coding!

LeVillian by Infin8 2012-12-28T11:11:00

A fun idea that needs a lot of difficulty and AI tweaking to really work. It was indeed a lot of spamming of thugs who are then summarily killed by bands of good guys or the hero (level 2) Fun idea that the creator is on the map itself. Work some more on this and then release it!

THE CONDEMNED by Dark Acre Jack 2012-12-28T10:56:00

Very atmospheric even with the bare necessities 3D models Nice interactions too. Are there ending beyond self-sacrifice and survival?

Once you can get the tech in place to not have to limit the controls it can be very nice. Especially for 48 hours, this is very impressive!

SIRTET by Atomic 2012-12-21T23:51:00

That, my dear sir, is Boss with a capital B.
Very curious about the source, wondering those Arduino's work.

Cruel Cruel Dastard by alect 2012-12-21T21:48:00

Happy Death Train vs Damsels. Great job, esp. for in 48 hours.

Double Tap by Sam Driver 2012-12-21T18:51:00

Leaving fun and humour n/a as they don't apply to this game but all others are good. Don't beat yourself up for not making this the perfect way to convey a message or to make a game. It's 48 hours, nothing in that time approaches perfect. Visual style is nice and the sound effects are good, muzzles speech and the "psshhww" for the rocket, ha.

Trina of The Depths by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2012-12-21T00:58:00

Very nice artwork and animations. The visual style reminds of me Dragon's Lair (but not the gameplay, thank Zeus) I found 3 of your hidden messages.

You're going for a more laid-back control style which is good but the extreme gravity being applied to Trina it actually defeats the calm control style and makes it stressful. If you loosen up the downward pull on Trina and let the player get used to the unique control style in a more relaxed manner it will be much better. Consider: if you need the speed power up for the game to become more like the game you want it to be then it should not be power-up, it should be the default.

But again, very nice game with fresh ideas. Excellent!

Evil Foot Race For Kittens by AxeTheory 2012-12-21T00:37:00

Good thing I'm not a pilot because keeping track of 3 sets of commands and the active command is clearly too much for me. Also, the computer never stumbles which is discouraging. I'm sure if you win it feels good but for me that's a big if.

Under the Bed by Logun 2012-12-21T00:29:00

Oh, if only this had creepy soundscapes and scattering monster claw feet sound effects, it would be perfect! That creature is hideous, I'm glad I'm not a kid on some orphanage... Or Am I? DUN DUN DUN

The Villein by jomomomo 2012-12-21T00:17:00

Cute game with a positive note, which is appreciated.

As other noted, the "WATER" sample is bit jarring, 3 year olds are lovely but can rupture eardrums like no other. Clearly, she is the Villain of these grounds, as per the OED: "the person or thing responsible for specified problems, harm, or damage" Some harm and/or damage was done to membranes certainly :)

Scary Chicken by Joncom 2012-12-20T23:34:00

I now hate: chickens, foxes, eggs, chickens, ice worlds and chickens.

'Goat, give me back my clothes !' by MvT 2012-12-20T23:19:00

Nice take on the pixel-scale dilemma, the human-goat interaction is rather.. unrefined. I do like the human has a little green pixel-leaf to protect his jiggly bits.

Dr. Maleficent's Doom-Ray by pelton 2012-12-20T23:10:00

The external music gives this short game a longer lease on life but it's quite simple. The visual style is good and consistent. Music choice is fun but not yours so only rating the effects.

Blob Revolution by kill0u 2012-12-20T22:15:00

Looks pretty but control of the character is inconsistent (shift would often not actually hold me against a well but sometimes it did) and the sometimes quite pixel perfect jumps combined with on ice like slipperiness of the movement made me rage-quit after dying too often. Please tweak so old people like me can play this.

Miniman vs Dr. Malificius by master4523 2012-12-20T22:01:00

Mega-america vs the red trapeziums of doom. Not sure why I have an avatar in the world as I'm more the force behind the curtains. Kudos for implementing a mini-AI to play through the level. He did get stuck in the center of the 2nd row for me, where he has to jump 2 blocks away. Good!

The "Great" British Weather by bradleypollard 2012-12-20T21:52:00

Music reminds me of the NES title The Battle of Olympus, which is a good thing. Very original idea and fun implementation. Good balance of keeping people in but miserable. Quality work!

Zomega by cambrian_era 2012-12-20T21:43:00

Damn, the app didn't capture the mouse. Might be a VM issue. Grunt. Did like the sounds and holy cow graphics for a 48hr entry.

The World is Mine! by matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-20T21:32:00

I like how 2 to 3 of my goons can take over a city of millions instantly. Funny lines, good effort.

Cursed Temple by SirJson 2012-12-20T21:14:00

Graphics were flickering rather badly but that was likely caused by some VMWare driver incompatibility with some XNA thing (though haven't had this problem with other XNA games) but I could play.

Simple setup, maybe if you have multiple levels that you can retreat to as the Paladins advance it would add a bit to the strategy and tension. Retreat into the temple and defend the purple idol as the last stand! etc.

Split 'Em Up by chambers 2012-12-20T21:02:00

Kind of tense keeping an eye on all those meddling kids! Funny vibe and original idea.

War'Asaal by Griz 2012-12-20T14:30:00

Sorry, my VM runs WinXP, can't run.

Villain OS 8 by tommycreo 2012-12-20T14:28:00

It's good and the cat-pet-laughter-charge mechanism is cool. Wasn't sure if something was happen going to happen at some point to the earth or those satellites.

Show Me The Money by Faust 2012-12-20T14:22:00

"... There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A villain."

Invasion! by xgeovanni 2012-12-20T14:02:00

Getting an error that the app is not a valid Win32 application. May be because I'm on XP?

The Accursed Moon by barkergames 2012-12-20T13:56:00

Sorry, I can't play this. If you have time, please recompile using the XNA "reach" profile so it can run on pre-DX11 cards.

Prison Escape by Tyren 2012-12-20T13:53:00

Sorry, can't play this. If you can, please make a version using the "Reach" profile to support DX9 cards.

The deathray by strong99 2012-12-20T13:46:00

Hm, on my WinXP VM I get an error that the app is not a valid Win32 application when I try to open it. Will try later.

Royal Reptile Rampage by dalbinblue 2012-12-20T13:41:00

Looks good a cute dragon, but controls and the jump back reaction to every tiny little arrow makes it very hard to play. I'm a dragon! Some different damage system is needed. Then I got stuck in a tower and got pelted with little rocks and arrows by people who could run 100m/s judging by the scale. I felt very tiny..

Revenge Bear by dek 2012-12-20T12:18:00

Bears get no breaks from humans, so this is awesome. Nice backdrop, good sounds and good scaling up of difficulty. I get completely overwhelmed by level 7. I'd describe the music as jungle funky.

Cow Stealer by ParaPup 2012-12-20T12:02:00

Next up: herds of cows, then: evading cows, then: cows with lasers, then: keeping track of weight of cows and the ship and how it affects control of the ship, then: having to deal with an organised cow militia. Go!

Missile Rider by rylgh 2012-12-20T11:57:00

It's like a mix of Contra 3's missile riding boss fight and battleship. Fun idea but too frustrating for me to get into. Good idea and humour.

You Are Satan by antonijn 2012-12-20T11:49:00

Hm, on Mac OS X 10.8.2 here, mono was preinstalled (to my surprise)
The game loads and shows the intro screen but does not proceed from there, pressing space (or any other key or mouse click) yields no response. Hm.. No console output either.

Dr. Vile in The Greater Good by GreenPixelDev 2012-12-20T11:38:00

Memories of SNES era RPGs combined with some Minecraft-style harvesting action! Nice SNES art style, sound effects and music! Right now the game is a single action game (smash everything and collect whatever is left) and that is I think just right for a 48/72 hour compo. If you continue you'll have to add some other interactions. Curious what you'll come up with!

Congratulations on such a nice product.

BTW, your green pixel logo is very similar to Real software's old RealBasic app logo, they still use it in a modernised form now, so I'd be a bit careful about that. ref: http://www.realsoftware.com/download/ and http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=realbasic%20icon

Kill Kong by shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-20T11:12:00

Minimal visual style for maximum effectiveness, check. Good mood because of smooth animations and proper setting. A big ape. What more does one need?

Btw, by going fullscreen in the web player, my fire rate about quintupled allowing me to mow Kong down in 2 passes.

Untitled by dansludumdare 2012-12-19T22:45:00

Played on Mac OS X 10.8.2, no problems.

After a first run and subsequent big ? over my head I read your little explanation, tried it again and then finally realised I have to actually bring back those little white sparkles (which are apparently power ups) back to my ship! Took me 3 tries because apparently my friend is in a bleeding hurry.

Strangely nice and atmospheric. Shows how much simple effects and ambient sounds cam enhance the experience. Really cool.

I especially love the concept of power ups not just being there for you but being used / shared with the environment, I can't think of another game that actually uses that mechanic. How much harder would Metroid be (the whole scene is very reminiscent of the landing site of Super Metroid) if everything you picked up was actually vital to the level you're in? The ideas! They are a-flowin'!

Bravo, sir.

A small village by EdoMiyamoto 2012-12-19T22:11:00

Nice, some good lines of text in there too. It's easy but I guess being a villain with some kind of semi-automatic gun in a medieval village of unarmed peasants would be easy :)

Elevator Evil by 8bitDamage 2012-12-19T21:31:00

I had no idea where they wanted to go and if I put them on the right floor or not so things just happened randomly. Kind of fun still tho. Fun idea, like reverse Elevator Action

Inverted Space Shooter by Tyranus 2012-12-19T21:22:00

I liked the 80s manga style character. When the commands actually become active seemed a bit random?

Hungry Alien by mikkelin 2012-12-19T21:16:00

Cute! Funny sounds and graphics. Good execution of a fun idea.

CORRUPTIONEXE by Xgor 2012-12-19T21:10:00

Rather random. Interesting, but I can see how you may have not known how to proceed.

Villainscape by Sylence 2012-12-19T21:02:00

In escape games with guards, the only way to make it really playable is to have guards walk fixed paths with perhaps a few random pauses etc. Because their paths are completely random here it becomes essentially unfair to the player. Also, a guard saw me through a wall.

Tourist Trap by HeyChinaski 2012-12-19T20:56:00

Good idea, something hair-pullingly frustrating experience in the last level. Fun how tech has evolved that we can create a cheap NES game with slightly awkward physics in 2 days instead of 2 weeks like they used to. Commendable.

Villain by Mathias Olsson 2012-12-19T20:46:00

The cutest disturbing thing I've seen so far. This was just WRONG but so funny. I'm going to stare out a window now.

EVIL SOUL EATING DEMON LORD FROM HELL in HAPPY KINGDOM by Mago 2012-12-19T20:41:00

The synthesized 10-note "song" got old quite quick, probably best to have left that out. Good idea to corrupt stuff but not much happened. Nor sure why I got transported to the center every time I touched the boundary and there was a little path on the left that went nowhere. Please upload your post-compo version when you get it completed!

Gold Thief by Cryptoporticus 2012-12-19T20:33:00

Knowing how far any actor can look beyond what you've drawn as their fov would be handy but I guess that would make it too predictable. If you indeed add onto this with some calculated lighting you could end up essentially playing Metal Gear Solid but only seeing the radar screen, which is fun enough.

IWKTP by pereubu 2012-12-19T20:18:00

Very nice cartoon-style artwork. I was going to scold you for having someone else make music in the solo-compo but then heard it and thought, Oh, Wagner! Actual Wagner. Ha. Anyway, fun and hard but I kept clicking outside the window (there's likely a fullscreen option I missed)

Bullet Hell Reversed by arch.jslin 2012-12-19T19:58:00

The winning strategy for me was to mash z,x,c in the first phase, then mash z and hold the mouse while dragging up and down the window like a madman. Or like a mad villain, if you will. Nice implementation and AI.

ETGA! by Graf_Grun 2012-12-19T17:39:00

Crap, on XP in VMWare the ganme runs very slowly and then locks up right before the baby carriage. No problems with any other game so far, odd. Oh well.

Dream Chamber by headchant 2012-12-19T17:23:00

Good mood and setting. Like the soundtrack and bleurgh sounds. Needs more tweaking wrt enemy numbers and capabilities (i.e. room of full of shooting enemies as my 2nd room on level 1 was a surprise) Feels like a modernised version of a NES game. Nice. Theme link is rather fuzzy.

Dig-Dug Dungeon by bigbadwofl 2012-12-19T11:22:00

This was awesome. Generated terrain, moaning minions, gold and hero-smashing! I encountered the slowdown too at one point, it happens when the imps get confused on how to build a path when you have a bigger area between open areas marked to dig out, they build walls and dig and sort of lock themselves in probably making the pathfinding grind to a halt. Mine got out of that situation tho and I finished the game fine! Good mood, humour and tone.

MEMEX by Cake&Code 2012-12-19T01:33:00

Very nice, consistent visual and aural style with a good yet disturbing story. Will try again to see what happens if I don't get the full memories. Puzzles are no challenge but I see them more as vehicles to drive the game forward then as obstacles in this game.

The Twist by amassingham 2012-12-19T01:22:00

The evil moustache comes alive! And of course it wants money. Loved the little epithets and general empire-ness of it all. Is that ragtime music?

President VS Eevol by SunShiranui 2012-12-19T01:19:00

One word comes to mind: Dastardly. The character is sneaking continuously in his 70s cartoon suit and evil hooked moustache. Well executed. Took me a bit to figure out how to use the teacup bombs (nice touch again) What on earth are those hovering spectre-killers? Cool!

Purple Fingers by heloheu 2012-12-19T00:52:00

Yay! The world is purple. Similar idea to my Make It Black but completely different context and implementation. The little devil/cat creatures are cute and the sounds are too. Cool!

Sword of Truth by rinaka 2012-12-19T00:45:00

I think I've found all 8 endings, having a stat a la PSX ending screens would be good to keep track of what you've accomplished. Interesting branching story-arc take on the genre!

Voyage of the Obsolete Goat by Quantumvm 2012-12-19T00:33:00

I died plenty and didn't really see what the toxic waste did even though I was dumping non stop. Having a single hit when the monster strikes would be better I think, with some invulnerability time afterwards. Now it can kill me in one lucky dive.

Hostile Hostels by CharlieLove 2012-12-19T00:27:00

It's DoveClicker 2000(tm)! The music is fun and major points for those hum-pom-pomming it. (Yes, that is a verb, since today) Like the other tower defence games, it's more of a weird sideshow than a game, but fun in a frantic sort of way. Your screenshot shows $149500, I don't even want to know how many dove-clicks that took!

The last game before the end of the world by grifdail 2012-12-19T00:17:00

The speed of rotation is very fast making it a bit hard to control. I always like a good shmup though. What is the purpose of picking up the cargo? Good experience, don't mind the setbacks!

ECHO CHAMBER by loren 2012-12-19T00:09:00

I hate to use this meme but first I was like Ehh, but then I was like aaah! Cool VVVVVV style visuals commenting on the modern day villains, the Blogerati. This must be how Scoble feels. Also, amusingly this game has the most comments on it I've seen so far, which is fitting in many ways :)

The Day Before by HardScore 2012-12-19T00:01:00

I think the 2nd guy on level 3 is impossible to get without dying yourself. I love the animations. Good show!

Critterrific by joekinley 2012-12-18T23:54:00

Sucking the vital juices out of fuzzy animals? Sign me up! Bit odd how you get damaged if an animal touches you, the timer itself is ruthless enough I'd say. Good.

Mine Sneaker by raincole 2012-12-18T23:44:00

I won the first round by accident by just clicking and I suck at minesweeper and I apparently suck harder at reverse minesweeper but this is brilliantly done. Really original! Now even more sure that AIs will kill us all in due time.

Dragon Wrath by Aswissrole 2012-12-18T23:36:00

Wow, impressive you got this whole island created in 48 hours with upgrades and everything. Flying is rather cumbersome and the archers usually got the best of me before I could install any amount of fear in people's hearts.. *sad*

Goat Hate Jug Band by Jerre 2012-12-18T23:28:00

Ridiculously funny. Somehow the higher pitch and speed of round 2 made me laugh. A "this is never going to end" feeling. Very good.

Decommissioner by Crowbeak 2012-12-18T23:21:00

I rarely play text adventures but this is a great, short and rather horrific one perfect to try out. As to the ending, I guess he could still take a stick and write stuff in the sand...

Roadkill by cuts 2012-12-18T22:20:00

Good fun! I like the car engine synthesis and the drifting characteristics. I managed to get a goat too! Proud.

SUPER Villain Hook Fighter (LD25 Edition) by Geoege 2012-12-18T22:08:00

Like the nod to Super Street Fighter in the logo. Don't have a 2nd player so can't really judge playability. Very nice graphical style and fitting BG music. Cool!

Ninox the Nightbringer by Dining Philosopher 2012-12-18T22:01:00

Nice puzzler here, reminds me of the puzzle games of yore on Classic Mac OS. Designing puzzle levels is hard so it's good to see quite a bunch of them in here, though the ones in the middle (with only buttons to clear) were sort of filler. Good stuff!

Banished by Kharza 2012-12-18T21:40:00

Can't play High-profile XNA games, only have DX9..

Final Fight by Wirtualnosc 2012-12-18T21:38:00

The opponents are rather tricky but once you find the proper jump timing it's quite easy. Liked that you can upgrade thing even if in the end it doesn't really give you much of an edge as the AI reacts to everything. OK.

KillTheHomelesses by ahmedcab 2012-12-18T21:31:00

Sordid mood which was fitting for the game. Simple but non-annoying music and sounds. Pretty good.

Kim Jong UnIcorn by YopSolo 2012-12-18T21:26:00

This game should have been entered in the Jam.

Noir Game by epiplon 2012-12-18T18:42:00

Nice mechanic, but I felt I was waiting too much for a lucky sequence of rand() calls to run. Good setting with appropriate music and using minimal gfx effectively to create atmosphere.

Evil Dragon by rubna 2012-12-18T18:31:00

Looks nice, quickly gets too hard.

Trainsaw by Znoraka 2012-12-18T18:27:00

Clearly the author is not fond of railway employees (or train travelers.) OK for a few rounds.

ROTTEN ROBBER by Start_ 2012-12-18T18:21:00

Rather unclear as to the purpose of all the different parameters (cops, hostages, sidekicks, etc) and what, if any, effect they have. I got 2 codes, pressed r to retire and the game didn't respond anymore.

Project Lightning by dark_hunter 2012-12-18T18:12:00

Good presentation but unwieldy controls for firing combined with a bulletstorm made me die more often than I dare to say.

P.H.D of Evil by Verrazano 2012-12-18T18:06:00

Game lags and crashes early, not rating right now.

DinoBurgers by Contraspect 2012-12-18T18:03:00

Good setting with the effective visuals and sounds. Rather repetitive, could have ended at wave 6 afaik :)

The Good Doctor by Sestren 2012-12-18T17:47:00

Though somewhat dark, I thought this was cute. It's a relaxed game more like Knytt and such. Good atmosphere because of the graphics and music. Not sure how this even could be a full game, curious what you'll come up with!

Werewolf! by Dohan 2012-12-18T17:32:00

Good idea that clearly needs a couple of days more work to really feel right. Feels like a prototype but at least one that hints at something good. Good programmer art as well. Continue with this and make it into a full game!

Eaten by wzl 2012-12-18T17:27:00

Fun effects, good intro screen, music even. Nice one, even if it's somewhat horrible in nature...

Goat SLAYER by Twigasaurus 2012-12-18T17:12:00

Good quick platform blaster and even a boss! Not many entries with homemade music so kudos for that too. Keep it up!

Rise of Evil by oldtopman 2012-12-18T16:59:00

Funny little story with 2 endings and ASCII-art. The art of ncurses is a dying on so bravo, sir.

Invasion2600 by Muu? 2012-12-18T16:49:00

Sooo, when on easy I could just mash 1 to 6 and sometimes q to win easily and on hard no matter what I do everything gets shot down immediately. Hm. Nice idea, proper visuals and sound for the setting. Would like to know if someone can play it on hard and win though.

Joe, the bad jack! (HTML5) by sletari 2012-12-18T16:41:00

This was fun but I can't seem to get beyond the last couple of knights to earn my prize. Is there some strategy? Pressing 5 resulted in a broken screen.

Final Boss by Sheep 2012-12-18T16:35:00

Ha, it's sad you couldn't finish this, because the premise is cool and fun. I like the Dr. Wily like death machine I'm in with a bunch of hapless meatsacks trying to gun me down. If you have time, please work on this some more for a post-compo version!

ZOMGbies by Avenger 2012-12-18T16:29:00

First off, please next time please find a less sleazy file sharing website to put your file on. If I want to play "find the right download button and not the one that gives me a ton of adware" then I'll go search for torrents.

OK, and I can't play the game because I don't have DirectX 11, please choose the "Reach" profile in your XNA distribution settings if you don't use DX11 features. Please mention that you use XNA.

Neutral Balance by koller-digital 2012-12-18T16:22:00

Trying to open this on Ubuntu 12 with Oracle Java v7, got this as output:

Hero Beat ME! by theGiallo 2012-12-18T16:17:00

The program doesn't start on Ubuntu 12.

Driver by jbb 2012-12-18T16:09:00

I can't get this to run on Ubuntu 12, sorry.

Others, click the red-bordered "valider at telechargez le fichier" button to download.

Villain Game by Draygera 2012-12-18T16:02:00

Whoa, 180MB download is rather stiff. I think you can change your archive because of these problems that do not affect your game. -your source dir has a 180MB compressed hidden dir in it for gwt cache, - you have included the full Java runtime both 32bits and 64bits for both Win and Linux, this is not necessary. -You added them all to 1 archive, next time please separate these repos and leave out the runtime.

As for the game itself, it's a short dialog tree. Its ok, but in 48 hours you could have added some more text and graphics. The idea of a dialog driven game sounds fun, maybe expand on this for a post-compo version.

Victor Grozny by DustyStylus 2012-12-18T15:46:00

The positioning is very precise and it's more a battle against time before you lose than actual tactics, but still fun enough. I never had to change the freq and descramble buttons much, they stayed the same more or less throughout, which is good because the constantly moving insurgents made things hard enough!

Awesome audio and graphics. Very nicely done.

Hero Must Die by CireNeikual 2012-12-18T15:35:00

Fun game. The AI sometimes got stuck in a tile but that was when it was UTTERLY DEFEATED anyway. BWUHAHA!! Simple but correct sound effects. Cool use of AI as a protagonist.

Red Revenge by Skyshifter 2012-12-18T15:25:00

I just moved left and picked up some stuff and then right click on the ship and I won! Yay. Chiptune music is great, did you create that during the LD? Respect. Good idea, worth some time to make a cool post-compo version.

PushTheHeroBack by RedCoder 2012-12-18T14:38:00

I lost control of my character quickly and it moved offscreen automatically. But don't feel bad, going from idea to game in 2 days is hard. What you've learned this time apply next time and we'll be back to try it out!

Infidel by Winterblood 2012-12-18T14:28:00

The lighting provides a good mood for the whole game and it seemed to work well AFTER I switched the Y-look axis (it also resets when you restart the game, but annoying).

However, I can't seem to find any gold? I think I walked back and forth and looked in most places so I should have found something? Am I missing something obvious?

Swag by feltip 2012-12-18T11:58:00

Can't play this until you change the XNA settings to use DirectX 9 instead of 11, see this comment from another game:

I saw one of the comments above about the "no suitable graphics card" above and noted that you used XNA. If you haven't heard of this error before, it has to do with profiles in XNA; there is a Hi-Def profile (selected by default) that gives you more features but requires a DirectX 11 (I believe) device, and a "Reach" profile that works with DirectX 9 compatible devices. You can make this change to the project by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. Doing so will open the game up to more players.

Crunch Crunch Boom by Sigrath 2012-12-18T11:53:00

Upgrading speed at first and seeing the thing became uncontrollable, I restarted and zigzagged my way down in frustration as rocks kept hitting me exactly and gems were flying past I upped hull and fuel to 4 and then saved up, upgraded speed to 4 and just went straight down and won. I also got 1250 point just there so clearly my strategy was not needed.

Which is kind of my problem with this, there is no way to do the right thing. Things just happen and the only real investment is time. Not to say this is horrible but if I felt I had more control over what was going on I would have liked this better.

DM's Rule by surpy 2012-12-18T11:31:00

Graphics and sound were mostly missing of course, but I think a better visual indication of what is going on + a better AI for the hero would have made this better. Nice idea.

Princess Frenzy by prettymuchbryce 2012-12-18T02:32:00

Nice, also I won. Multiplayer HTML5 always good.

Train Splat by [-BipolarDesign+] 2012-12-18T02:22:00

It's Simon Says for psychopaths! Obvious filler graphics are too bad but not overly distracting. I don't like Simon Says tho, so only played it for a short while :)

UREVIL ENDLESS TD! by Saisaith 2012-12-18T01:30:00

This is not a game, this is an interactive theatre / pachinko machine. It's mesmerising to an extent, but it's not really much of a game. Fun to just watch.

Also: http://logic-dream.com/all%20the%20money%20in%20the%20world%20but%20you're%20still%20gonna%20die.png

The Evil Space-Hippie by PAFdelirium 2012-12-18T00:58:00

I actually went and installed stuff in some Ubuntu VM after not having this work at all on either Mac or Windows. Theme usage is a bit dubious but the graphics are certainly cool and trippy. Like the other guy I only tried destroying earth twice and then quit to not have to go to the whole sequence again. Trippy effects, not much of a game.

Cancel Christmas! by tompudding 2012-12-18T00:46:00

Got the first 4 letters and just brute-forced the last one and yay it worked! Cool idea, nice execution. Music indeed got annoying quickly, thanks for the off switch, nice voice samples.

Black Knight Blockade by Smaxx 2012-12-17T23:25:00

Nice game that is a bit unbalanced, it goes from really easy to completely insane very suddenly. Nice art style but I have to object: his head did not explode, his whole body exploded in a ball of smoke.
I also expected the bridge to be of more significance than just a being a different tile index.
Nice.

Balloon Frenzy 4: Turbo Edition by theRestlessTaxidermists 2012-12-17T23:18:00

More like an interactive story than a game, but a very well done interactive story. Excellent! Quite original.

Break In by filtoid 2012-12-17T23:14:00

Scrolling behavior was rather odd but: storyline, lasers, spoken psggchh sounds are good. I needed neither a keycard nor the elevator, likely random?

(Tie One Woman to a Train Track and Suddenly) I'm the Badguy by handCraftedRadio 2012-12-17T23:07:00

Including the evil laugh is a sure sign of a winner. Simple and fun, like it should be. Very nice!

Postal by Sim 2012-12-17T23:01:00

My hand cramped up while attempting level one. Make the difficulty curve a but less steep. Not sure if I could change weapons or if it did anything.

Colorful by suve 2012-12-17T22:57:00

Is it possible to complete this? The hailstorm of bullets and as far as I can tell no HP recharging options stopped me in my tracks. Liked the intro story and I should award you the "It's not dead yet!" trophy for using Pascal. Word.

Le Chasseur by Quarry 2012-12-17T17:34:00

Memories of Mission: Impossible for the NES! The controls, like in the NES game are hard to get used to and it's very hard. This perspective + control system isn't used very often, kudos for trying.

On the Run by spacechase0 2012-12-17T17:31:00

OK proof of concept. I'm trying to get the code to compile here with Clang on my Mac. Which version of SFML are you using 1.6 or 2.0 pre? I'm also missing util/Math.hpp and util/String.hpp. Are these yours or from another lib?

Bad Guy Boot Camp by rustybroomhandle 2012-12-17T16:14:00

That was disturbing in a good way. My hat goes off to you,

Villain's base management by har_g 2012-12-17T16:10:00

Good concept, bit unclear what I'm doing. Need more time with it. Liking it!

Fagin by mutuware 2012-12-17T14:56:00

Awesome splash screen but indeed not yet much of a game. Interesting idea though.

Happy Little Murder Friends by farmergnome 2012-12-17T14:52:00

Visions of Smash TV. I had no idea what was going one but I assumed it was cool. Nice visual and sound style.

Gobelin's dungeon by Manest 2012-12-17T14:40:00

Fun idea! It works and sounds are appropriate, good graphics too. Well executed.

HeroDontSavePrincess by pvp 2012-12-17T14:34:00

Nice idea, rather difficult to play. Can find maybe 4 good places for the box and 1 miss and it resets.

YOU ARE WASPS by Hazel 2012-12-17T14:27:00

Funny. My wasps drifted away from me over time and would only attack air so I couldn't continue. Had to turn the sound off… Fun idea with frantic action.

It Should be a Crime! by Ysty 2012-12-17T14:20:00

On Windows, the game ran so fast it was unplayable so I can't rate this sorry.

Princess Keeper by lorancou 2012-12-17T14:15:00

Fine little entry. It's literally a drawing come to life. Fun homemade music with the right tone and theme. Good!

Bloody Ninja Spider by Alink 2012-12-17T14:00:00

Nice mechanic that does translate into a whole-lotta-clickin but I liked the 1st level. Instadeath in water made me not finish 2nd level but overall this is well executed. Nice.

You are the (NOIR) Villain by Graham Weldon 2012-12-17T13:45:00

The game didn't capture the mouse for some reason (win xp) and on 10.8 the app doesn't start for me. Looks visually appealing, hoping you will release a non-compo version that I can run.

Those Pesky Rogues by CoffeeOnimal 2012-12-17T13:35:00

Help text is gone too quickly and the delay between clicking on a totem and the minion appearing is long enough the question wether anything happened.
A faster pace would have improved this quite a bit I think. Frantic searching, spawning and fighting is better than waiting for orbs well, waiting.
This is gentleman's combat, where people take their turns .
Also, my skeletons have been hacking in on the hero for a while now and his HP remains at near death. FOUL PLAY I SAY!

Conquer all the castles!! by Ithildin 2012-12-17T13:24:00

Click-o-mania indeed. 3 levels is just about right. Minions work well. Not sure if you can lose other than getting stuck. Pretty good.

Wearhouse by J 2012-12-17T13:18:00

Couldn't get past the 4th stage and gave up as the game is very unforgiving.

Goat 666 by Pol 2012-12-17T13:06:00

Good art style and sound but objects moved so fast and were sufficiently small that possessing in a meaningful way was nigh impossible, let alone keep steer yourself, which seemed to be irrelevant anyway. Since this uses external music, shouldn't it be in the Jam?

Multigon: A story about an unloved mesh. by zompi 2012-12-17T13:01:00

Nice and polished. The polygon editor is a cool game mechanic. It did crash after the 2nd intermission screen without text but that was the right time to move on anyway.
Very nice.

Escape of the Blob Monster by pl0xz0rz 2012-12-17T12:44:00

Seeing the 30 minute timer when there are hundreds of games to test was a bit demotivating. Is the maze generated / infinite?
