Last Minute Beard by Headmade 2015-12-21T16:28:00

5/5 just for title, and other 5/5 for the game :)

Last Minute Beard by Headmade 2015-12-21T16:28:00

Also (sorry for posting it here) sorry for not clear rules in Let's Play Simulator 2016 (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114). Hope this screenshot (http://take.ms/flHZu) will help you to understand how to detect good/bad games :)

Left-leaning by tayl1r 2015-12-22T17:07:00

A W E S O M E! Can't wait for it on my iPhone :)

Capitalist FM by SuperDisk 2015-12-19T09:45:00

OMG idea is fresh and brilliant :) God, it's first time i play as a radio station :) Amazing idea, hope you will polish it to nice graphics / mechanics and hope see you on IGF with it :)

Lawnmower Puzzle by Zathnic 2015-12-23T19:04:00

Unable to start in Win7 64

ORB LORDS by TravisChen 2015-12-22T13:07:00

Love this game automat! I think camera shake is a bit too active, but awesome in any case :) Hope you'll enjoy our LD34 game - Let's Play Simulator 2016 as well :) http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Coalesce by alyphen 2015-12-23T18:57:00

Unable to find a match :( But love the music)

Saneedling by commanderstitch 2015-12-26T19:32:00

It wasn't clear how to decide which type of ground is right for the seed. So I played several times, watched how plant grows and then the game over screen pop out. Once I chose the right ground, but failed at the second phase. The game mechanics is not clear at all. However, the music and animations are nice.

Pulen Boxing Championship by unpronounceable 2015-12-26T19:36:00

Nice control mechanics you got here, it was a pleasure to discover it. Also nice realistic touch what happens when you lost all the stamina in boxing.)

Collider by DMinsky 2015-12-15T16:00:00

Cool! As always from this developer astonishing tactility over all gameplay. Thanks a lot, gogogo! (P.S. it's unable to read tutorial at this speed for me and i hope that characeters are not going to hell)

Dog Gone Big! by HulkHandsome 2015-12-21T09:08:00

Thanks for giant dog and for Purple Flag joke :)

A Game About Bacteria by phi 2015-12-22T20:19:00

Big respect for biology setting! Keep going :) Also if you have a minute - take a look at our Let's Play Simulator 2016 http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Ring World by PoQA Games 2015-12-26T20:40:00

Gameplay is very fun, i played several times and enjoyed it. Good job!

Outer Space by Markus Brand 2015-12-22T20:27:00

Nice damage model, actually very big step as user feedback since flappy bird :)

Aligned Destruction by Mano 2015-12-21T08:36:00

Surprisingly after first minute controls became native for me :)

SpaceEx by Tangible Games 2015-12-23T19:08:00

Everythin is nice :) In Russia FTL and Dalnoboyshiki (truck simulator) are very popular. Nice to see combination of them! Hope you'll enjoy our Let's Play Simulator 2016 as well http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Cultivate by kmakai 2015-12-21T16:32:00

Keep going, more board games on LD!

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-14T23:02:00

Hey guys, you are awesome! Balance fix uploaded, now Cthulhu is not so angry!

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-15T18:23:00

Little helper: Good project if you've realise that project Genre, Name and Author sounds familiar as a popular real-existing game. Bad project - if don't. Sometimes unknown indie developer making good projects too :)

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-16T21:42:00

Zillions tons of sorry guys, the game is not random, just not well tested balance :( Hope we'll fix it someday!

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-18T22:12:00

Thanks guys. Nope, it's not random, please read tutorial carefully :)

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-21T13:54:00

Hack Life 3 was canceled because of me & you dude :(

Let's Play Simulator 2016 by zulman 2015-12-24T09:57:00

Aaranos, not OR but AND. So it's not about guessing Title OR Author OR Genre, it's about matching Title AND Author AND Genre :) Thank you for the feedback !

Wellspring Wanderer by Justin Mullin 2015-12-22T20:33:00

Like Elon Musk trying to land Falcon9 :) Thank you, it's awesome :) Try our Let's Play Simulator 2016, i will be happy to hear feedback from you :) http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Expando-ship by FireSlash 2015-12-19T09:31:00

Love 3 kind of bullet hell weapons, music is fit perfectly with picture. Hope you will polish the game and release for mobile!

P.S. Little bit uncomfortable key mapping ZWY

Formula Wroom by Benlitz 2015-12-22T20:40:00

Jump in racing to change the roadline is awesome idea :) Keep going! Try our Let's Play Simulator 2016, i will be happy to hear feedback from you :) http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Parse The Sky by dustyroom 2016-01-03T20:29:00

the most beautiful entry i've seen so far

MEATDOWN Feast of Fury by Theropod Studios 2015-12-22T20:51:00

I don't know why but it's fun :) Thank you!

Reap by managore 2015-12-22T13:15:00

As always i have no idea how you was able to complete it in 2 days, you are awesome man :) Controls was little bit uncomfortable for first 10 minutes (like in vim) :) Hope you'll find a minute to take a look at our Let's Play Simulator 2016 http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

▲GROW by bodsey 2015-12-22T20:46:00

Amazing theme approach :) But it's a bit complicated to play on high volumes because of dollars floating on my screen :) Also love it because it's very similar to our game Let's Play Simulator 2016, i will be happy to hear feedback from you :) http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Super Space Invader by BlackBulletIV 2015-12-14T11:00:00

Super cool! I really in love with tactility of shooting and exposions. Amazing pixel art and alpha transparency combo. Music also is awesome (2 times i even thought that it's musical game like Beat Dat Beat). Good luck, wanna by it for my smartphone!

Lost Elochka by SMASH BASH 2015-12-14T13:25:00

I feel my inner star, this developer is awesome :) Nice work with low poly again and one more game without AA :)

P.G.E by rodobodolfo 2015-12-26T20:17:00

brilliant! Voice is really awesome btw.

Forklift Man by Davision 2015-12-21T16:30:00

Unbelievable art for 2 days of development! Great job!

Growing Dots by kev9318 2015-12-26T19:21:00

Nice idea, i haven't seen such mechanics before. Restart is working. I find game pretty hard and fast, it is slightly annoying to loose all the time, maybe it's a good idea to make it slower and easier at the beginning. Nice hit on theme, good job.

Winter Wilds by Bastienre4 2015-12-28T13:13:00

Game concept looks similar to Tokyo Jungle. The art is truly beatiful, even the logo is masterfully done. Great job.

Interview at Incredible Inc by EvanEGibbs 2015-12-21T16:27:00

Spellblast by Tonal Recall Games 2015-12-15T19:46:00

Love it love it love it love it. I think little more dynamics (closer to bullet hell) and i'll ready to buy at on steam or for smartphone :)

Mt Etubo by thebrickanator 2015-12-23T10:14:00

Awesome, thank you! Game dynamics is great! Hope you'll enjoy Let's Play Simulator 2016 as well http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114 :)

Sumou no Kurieta by fafastudio 2015-12-21T20:13:00

Very very rebellious :) Love JP theme but art style is too hard for me :)

Nebular Worm by jcwelgemoed 2015-12-14T10:53:00

Very smooth animations, base mechanic is well known and still cool. Unfortunately sounds are very loud and unexpected

Combo Farm by Silverfyre 2015-12-23T19:01:00

I love games like Pipes :) Thank you for this retro feelings! Very fun :) Hope you'll enjoy our Let's Play Simulator 2016 as well http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Charge! by randomhuman 2015-12-21T16:37:00

PunchBOT by Autovelop 2015-12-21T08:51:00

It's always fun to punch your friend in fighting game :)
FYI: Unable to play from Chrome/Mac.

Omg, first game with XOR mechanics :)

Insight by gmatsura 2015-12-21T15:58:00

Bridge Balance by blohod 2015-12-15T17:15:00

Uber Super Mega hardcore one! I think little bit more directive controls will be fine. In any case t's always fun to play with physics :)

2 Scale by teamvr 2015-12-19T09:48:00

Christmas + VR + Two Buttons = Awesome :) Really nice to see VR guys on LDJam, you are making future!

Grow by mitya1234 2015-12-21T08:55:00

Thank you, it's smart!

Fleshgrowth by pzeronow 2015-12-26T20:33:00

I played Original LD version. First of all, graphic style is very nice and cool animated. Gameplay is fun. The interface is badly readable because of white fonts. Also there is a problem with gameplay when you start throwing things so fast that you already above the level where obstacles appear. After 26th block i wasn't able to throw blocks anymore. Good game, enjoyed it. Shoutout to artist, keep it up!

Fluffy Horde by publicidadeba 2015-12-23T19:18:00

Awesome. Kinda new approach for mobile town management game :) Hope you'll enjoy our Let's Play Simulator 2016 as well http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=31114

Hijinks High: Orientation (Ludum Dare 34 Edition) by cjmarchione 2015-12-19T09:35:00

Oh god, you are awesome retro dev! Text adventures was so cool! Honestly I think it's very to find players for it in 2015, but hope you will try to make it as Messenger's bot (e.g. for Telegram) :)

Shoot & Dash by thesnake91 2015-12-19T09:39:00

With potential :) Hope you'll try to polish the game, add some weapons, more tactility and bullet hell (i just like it so much) :)

P.S. OS/X version is broken, unable to launch

Pong Breaker by alliel_a 2015-12-26T19:15:00

unfortunately can't play this, got no Linux

Dragon's life by timotei 2015-12-19T09:42:00

Hope you will clear your calendar for LD35 and i will happy to play new game from you! Keep going !

Solar Fly Trap by TreePunchers 2015-12-21T09:01:00

Space Flowers FTW!

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Of Asteroids and Emus by HellBlazer 2016-09-01T09:31:00

It's danger to work with AI in this situations! This kind of plot is very interesting for me always after mass effect so good work! Also i think it's a little bit risky to make only text game, younger mates will be unable to play. Just google pictures of some sci fi book is fine to make it more easy to start :)

Aliens Didn't Build Them by ajayajayaj 2016-09-01T09:36:00

Unfortunately i was unable to play in Web version (link is moving to jar file, not playable in browser). Love big pixels and platformer style. May be it's reasonable to make green color no so bright to cool down full picture style?

Golems! by maffydub 2016-08-29T13:19:00

First impression was - "Dude, it's cameras like in five nights at freddy's" :) In any case the concept of multiply "spy cams" is very fresh and suitable for old styled puzzle games, so it's very interesting!

The control system is not very obvious, so i didn't get all possible actions. After it i read the description and got it.

I hope you'll convert it to some kind of (cooperative?) puzzle for tablets, i think it will be great :)

Holy War! by Arthur Ostapenko 2016-08-30T11:36:00

Very strategics and interesting sandbox :) UI animations and polish level are awesome. I think it's one of those games which i want to play after ludum to understand their mechanics deeper :)

Roby Robot by lonesurvivor 2016-08-29T17:43:00

I think you are good with controls and environment. Also it's looks like very lightweight game with fast gameplay, but because of little platfroms unpolished state it's hard to play. Also some tooltips/reactions on mouse over/out or custom cursors will be perfect (when i played first time i didn't try to use mouse after first try).
In any case pretty good platformer with interesting story here, good job :)

Artifact by BinaryProvider 2016-08-29T16:07:00

Level 8 is really hard! Maze with the time pressure is really makes me nervous. May be it's not appropriate but if you'll allow player to replay last level it will be more friendly and casual :) In any case - awesome work! Defold rocks!

Archimagic by onyon 2016-08-29T12:25:00

I don't know why but it's definitely reminds me old Prince of Persia from the first seconds :) Very fresh idea with mirror!

Atlantis Warmachine by kuro 2016-08-29T17:35:00

Love this kind of game mechanics. Trying to figure out this mechanism is working is always very curious :) I think a kind of help tooltips e.g. after 20 invalid actions will be helpful!

Phaust The Weird Cat by Ido_king 2016-08-29T18:10:00

Died a zillions of times but still happy with it :) Good concept and definitely first game i played on JSFiddle

Rune Room by grlmc13 2016-08-29T18:25:00

Missed level from the Witness game :) Atmospheric sound and clear gameplay, good job :)

Endeavour by ErikU 2016-09-01T09:28:00

Good old times :) Love the idea of text adventures with visual part. How to fight against the red scorpion?

Dino Hipster Survival by zulman 2016-08-29T11:32:00

Hi guys, thank you so much for the feedback :)

@DrCicero - fixed, now you're able to replay the failed level
@KevKevOnFire - spam is not the strategy anymore, now weapon is able to overheat :)

Dino Hipster Survival by zulman 2016-08-29T17:54:00

@tenpn thank you for the feedback! Sorry, help me to understand the problem, do you have any difficulties with controls at first 4 levels or just suggesting to make 1st level longer?

Dino Hipster Survival by zulman 2016-08-31T11:34:00

Thank you guys!
@lonesurvivor will fix it!
@Jelinib awesome idea, thank you! I will change +Range to +AntiHeat, and add auto rockets spread increase when taking +Rockets :)

Dino Hipster Survival by zulman 2016-08-31T20:55:00

Hi @SetTheBet. Yes, you're right. I'll add reference to the original project. Please feel free to ask me to delete the project or particular assets or add links right inside the game to your github account or smth else. My point was to show at #GamesJamDefold that it's a good practice to start with ready small project and add to them something to compensate time of understanding new engine.

Place of Power by flazm 2016-08-30T09:46:00

Love it :) Very similar emotions to the first version of Basement, i think it because of visual. After 15 of playing green one mini was broken (not clickable) so i was out of Si.

Humble Beginnings by what.sorceress.this 2016-08-29T18:00:00

Brilliant work with theme dude :)

Clockwork Dragon by wilsk 2016-09-01T09:40:00

Voxel dragon for the win! Roaring villages is fun, good job!

Sentinel by Ilseroth 2016-08-29T12:29:00

Grayscale, winter, giant robot - never thought about this combination, but looks awesome. You have to build it for VR!

I don't get why big robot wants to kill me and looks like subtitles are out of screen (Chrome OSX, 1920x1080). Sound i also very very fine for atmosphere :)

Time Climb by Abrexas 2016-09-01T09:35:00

Very Very solid game for 72 hours of development. Attack animations are very nice, graphics style too :) I unable to move left/right while jumping - is it by design or just bug? I'm asking because at one of the sessions i just stucked in second scene with selection easy/normal/hard.

Hippie Horde by Spinach_Chicken 2016-08-29T13:29:00

Oh maaan! This music and story makes me feel California's wind :) Amazing plot and Tardis :) From the gameplay side - it's pretty hard to understand the right strategy, bacause i'm unable to control hippi's frequency and gun rotation speed. So, as i understand, at high scores i just can't miss the shot time :)

In any case very atmospheric

No Man Has Gone Before by KevKevOnFire 2016-08-29T18:08:00

Played with Interstellar soundtrack and i feel like a space engineer now :) This is my favourite genre of games (system management) and simplicity and style of this is amazing for me. Good job!

May be a little tutorial and system components connections visualization will be cool :)

Little God Academia by Linver 2016-09-01T09:25:00

Love the idea of combining clicker with keeping the balance. Also main idea of surviving humans on a new planet is very very good. Hope to complete the game later (now i've killed all humanity a couple of times by experimenting with science :) )

Ogg and the Obelisk by SimonHutchinson 2016-08-29T18:03:00

This is amazing game to use in new Mr. Robot episode as demonstration of drugs trip :) Also love controls and loading time. This game is definitely has own style :)
