LD28 — You Only Get One

PotatOne by HeroesGrave 2013-12-16T07:09:00

Haha! That was hilarious! Also, I've repackaged the linux download for my game, if you'd be willing to give it a shot!

If you still aren't able to get it working, send me a message on twitter: @ZXeno

Destructoblast by Doctor Broccoli 2013-12-16T22:06:00

Good job! Really enjoyed it. Sounds would have made it more awesome. :)

Only One World by Calahagus 2013-12-17T04:06:00

I think this sends a pretty clear message, and was very well done. The theme is extremely well interpreted and executed here. I absolutely loved it. This is a game that begs for more polish and a full release. :) Very, very well done!

Goodbye Galaxy by EdoMiyamoto 2013-12-16T18:20:00

Good work! This could really go somewhere when it's fully fleshed out.

Prototype by Cheshyr 2013-12-16T05:32:00

The upgrade system was very nice. I really liked the difficulty curve and overall idea. I really liked the use of the theme throughout. Would absolutely love to see this fleshed out more!

C.R.A.T.E by CustomPhase 2013-12-16T06:46:00

Very good! Really enjoyed this. The art is well done.

One Shot. One Kill. by shatley123 2013-12-17T04:17:00

This was pretty good. Enjoyed 4th and final levels. Good job!

Warp Runner by Raphy 2013-12-16T19:04:00

Good Job!

Captain Spacebeard in: The Centauri Run by DaleP 2013-12-19T07:01:00

Couldn't find the theme, but I loved this none-the-less. Good work!

You Only Get One Cube! by cwkx 2013-12-16T18:37:00

I played this for about a half-hour. Really enjoyed it! The sound effects really bring it to life. Good job! Especially for only 5 hours!

One Minute To War by squibbons 2013-12-16T06:21:00

I enjoyed this quite a bit. The concept is solid, though, the way you find the code could be more complex. Good job!

Planet LD-28 by Tragon 2013-12-16T22:35:00

Fascinating. I never would have thought of doing only 1FPS. Very good job!

Process Journey by Lissar 2013-12-17T05:08:00

This was a really good story, and the art was absolutely fantastic. This was really good!

Dare to Dig! by Mirroar 2013-12-16T22:21:00

Very fun game. Really enjoyed the dialogue and gameplay. Very addicting!

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-16T06:59:00

@HeroesGrave I recompressed it in a ZIP format and corrected the download link. Give it another shot and see if that fixes it!

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-16T07:56:00

Ah, thanks. I fixed the link (again). Sorry to hear the Unity games aren't running well on your *nix box. Hope you find out what's causing it!

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-17T21:46:00

@ashen Yea, I bumped the enemy snipers up from 1 second, to 1.5 seconds to 3 seconds for balance purposes. I forgot to change the wording when I posted the description. I'll probably change it when I have more time later.

@Raphy && @cwkx - Facing worlds was my inspiration. I did it completely from memory. I would have put more detail into it if I'd had more time. I think it turned out pretty well, and obviously the reference was clear enough for at least some people to get! :)

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-17T21:47:00

And thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm thinking I might continue working on it as a continuing project. Let me know what you think at my blog: http://www.signalreceived.com/

Click Click Cat by GravityScore 2013-12-16T18:32:00

The art style is absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed it.

Constructively, some audio and some feedback when killing the horrible cat-freak monsters would lend to greater enjoyment.

Excellent work! :)

Isles of Solara by ashen 2013-12-16T06:35:00

This is really good. Very impressed with what you were able to get done! Very solid, already spent an hour on it!

Pilot's Last Stand by phi6 2013-12-16T22:59:00

Absolutely fantastic! Really enjoyed this a lot. Was only sad that it isn't longer! Only so much you can do in 48hrs though. Excellent job!

Robogenesis by JavadocMD 2013-12-16T21:27:00

Good job!

Mikes toy by d_0o_d 2013-12-16T18:57:00

I had a lot of fun with this. It seems to freeze at level 10 (as one other commenter said). Overall, really fun. Good job!

Monogamites by gagege 2013-12-17T04:33:00

This has some potential, but I don't know if the end was glitched or if it didn't have time to come to completion. I couldn't "select" any of the mates, but the game would temporarily freeze, visually, if I approached the center or right one, the one on the left failed to register anything.

The One Fork Restaurant by drludos 2013-12-16T18:47:00

One fork? Talk about a sanitation issue! :)

This was a really great game. The challenge was awesome, the pacing was really good, and the art style was very consistent. Excellent work!

Molten Progeny by tcarter 2013-12-17T03:45:00

Really had a lot of fun with this! Solid gameplay, excellent music and visuals.

NUCLEAR by backflipppp 2013-12-19T06:53:00

Very atmospheric. The mask made it insanely difficult to see what was going on. I didn't see the monsters before they ate me. The atmosphere though, was absolutely awesome! Some tweaking to the mask visibility and flashlight mechanic would really carry this far! I hope you keep working on it. :)

the only one left by ACE 2013-12-16T21:43:00

The visuals are good, but it's really dark. I couldn't find any way to pick up a torch, or any other object, which made moving between the extremely sparse light sources difficult. Upon reaching the water pit (and falling in), and finding no way out, I gave up. The concept is there, the visuals are good, but it isn't really playable. Good job on getting this much finished! I would definitely keep working on it and submit to #1GAM, but it isn't finished enough for me to vote on it here.

1111 pt 1 by madjackmcmad 2013-12-16T22:49:00

HAHAHAHAHA! I was cracking up and rolling all over the place when I played this. It actually made it harder because it was so hilarious! Absolutely fantastic!

Star Chase by David Colson 2013-12-16T22:55:00

Good job!

L1ghter by quill18 2013-12-16T06:01:00

This was pretty incredible for just 48 hours! I really enjoyed the banter/barks, the interesting level layout and the controls were pretty decent. I think my only criticism was that the puzzles were more brute-force solving than anything, few hints as to how to get there. The chess-board puzzle was somewhat startling when you get there, and difficult to figure out the pattern.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Terra by phaze0 2014-12-10T03:30:00

I can't seem to get it to run, just says "A Java exception has occurred." Is there a specific version of Java I need?

Terra by phaze0 2014-12-10T04:15:00

Ah, apparently there was a Java update I missed.

This was a very cool concept, but the lack of audio made it uninteresting. Though, I did find a little bit of an exploit: So long as you have the surrounding edge of the planet's core completely covered in fauna, you'll make ~$5k every time, even with very little expenditure.

Very fun though, a lot of fun watching the physics in action.

If I Can Just Mine 5000 Crystals From This Weird Snowman Planet They'll Let My Daughter Go Free by sigfig 2014-12-09T06:48:00

Pretty fun. Unique use of the theme. The snowmen were hard to kill/manage sometimes. Took a bit to figure out how to move the crystals into the furnace. Best title so far. Good work!

The Last Room by Lissar 2014-12-10T03:39:00

Very moody, clearly an interesting story to be found here. It literally left me wanting more. Very well done! I would love to have seen what was on the painting at the end.

Illuminated TD by leondryaso 2014-12-09T06:27:00

It isn't too bad. Understandable if you got a late start. But the humor... #PCMR for life! :D

Ludum Traders by ZXeno 2014-12-09T05:46:00

Source is included in the release. I'll make a separate download for it though. :)

Ludum Traders by ZXeno 2014-12-09T05:50:00

Done.

Ludum Traders by ZXeno 2014-12-10T05:21:00

I added an alternate download source for the game. Feel free to use it if Dropbox is giving you problems.

Ludum Traders by ZXeno 2014-12-10T06:33:00

@Wampus try reinstalling .Net4 / 4.5. That seems to be the most common source of SharpDX exceptions, and I can't duplicate it on any of my machines here.

Ludum Traders by ZXeno 2014-12-10T06:34:00

I really wanted more to go into it, but ran out of time. Lots of lessons learned, though. Thank you everyone for your honest input. I'm already putting more work into it for a future re-release!

Beats Me by Budda 2014-12-09T06:54:00

I really liked the music. Hard to figure out a couple of different places.

Sweep Stacks by excaliburjs 2014-12-09T06:13:00

Great visual style. Very solid, and way more addicting than I though it was going to end up being. Very good game! I hope you keep going with it after the jam!

Keep Watching by Ken Scott 2014-12-10T03:26:00

Controls were a bit difficult at first, but got the hang of them fairly quickly. Wish there was more to it than just killing the enemies in the arena, but it is an excellent idea! Would like to see more to it.

0x2603 by Efuvex 2014-12-09T06:37:00

Pretty fun game! The lack of sound effects for feedback made it difficult to determine when damage was being taken. Sometimes the levels were difficult to see.

LD33 — You are the Monster

Monster is a Mommy by pansapiens 2015-08-27T08:37:00

Oh wow, that got challenging pretty quickly! Loads of fun though. Great work!

Turtle Stomp by salmelo 2015-08-25T18:43:00

Game plays well overall. The camera doesn't feel like it moves far enough ahead, and I occasionally had a hard time finding enemies. I wound up spawn-camping them mostly. The abilities are fun, and I like the game overall. The lack of any music or sound felt somewhat disconnecting.

Minion Factorium by DaanVanYperen 2015-08-25T19:13:00

I really enjoyed this. The difficulty scaled a bit quickly, and could use some more instruction. Overall, this was really good. :)

FFF by Squid Blink Games 2015-08-27T08:25:00

Hahahaha this was hilarious.

Redemption by Mikhail 2015-08-25T18:26:00

I haven't been able to get it to show the textures. Rsc folder is in the same folder as the .jar. Installed the latest version of java.

Don't Let Them Die by parsia 2015-08-27T08:19:00

Had fun with the puzzles. More closure would have been nice though! Lack of sound was somewhat disconnecting.

Truth be untold by pseudavid 2015-08-27T09:18:00

That's the first twine game I've ever played. I really enjoyed going through a couple of play-throughs. Though, I did have trouble following the plot in some places, the story seemed to jump a bit.

Dungeon Defense by pickeloe5 2015-08-27T08:32:00

Aevek pretty much hit it on the head. The take on the theme was solid, though!

You are THE Monster by dorny 2015-08-27T08:41:00

Really had a hard time controlling it, couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong for the game to end. First time one of the guys passed through the gate, the second time it just ended as soon as I started shooting.

LD39 — Running out of Power

Power Idle Clicker by g12345 2017-08-01T01:54:15Z

Once you buy about 30-40 of any of them, the timer goes negative and keeps counting down infinitely. Not bad for a single day, though!

Cyberhell Cleaner by EricQuagmire 2017-08-01T06:03:26Z

Really enjoyed this! The music was a bit loud, had to turn my volume way down. But the gameplay was solid and the art was spectacular!

LD53 — Delivery

Delivering Justice by IgorFolz 2023-05-03T03:45:41Z

The writing was good, with an emphasis on the morality of the choice at the end. The ability to look at the evidence up-close was nice, and really added some depth to the proceedings. The art and music were absolutely top-notch with a surprising attention to detail. Overall, I really enjoyed this!

Lame Duck Delivery Service! by zxeno 2023-05-04T10:33:37Z

Thanks for the feedback! @batisdark I did do a casual entry, which disables the voting. I wasn't concerned all that much about the score, just participation and feedback. :smile: Most of those were things I wanted to get implemented, but just ran out of time.

R&D (Research & Delivery) by thormoth 2023-05-03T03:10:19Z

Really enjoyed this take on the theme. The time between generators breaking down is a little harsh, and the oxygen generator is rather unforgiving. I had a couple runs where all 3 generators broke down at the same time. But it was a challenge and I had a good time!

Lern Island Letters by Andori_Paic 2023-05-04T12:15:22Z

This was absolutely a wonderful game! The presentation was smooth and very well polished. The attention to detail on the various pieces of mail was a very nice touch. I got way more invested in the story than I expected and really enjoyed it overall. I only routed one package wrong and it was mostly a mis-click :laughing: But this was a great game and a great interpretation of the theme!

Space Delivery by Kirbloid 2023-05-03T05:08:30Z

Very solid, first playthrough was ~600points and second and third were over 900 as I got a grasp on the bounce physics. This felt really well polished.

Apocalypse Prime by ADerpyChickenStudios 2023-05-03T04:53:44Z

This was genuinely a good time! The art style looked really good, the humor was excellent, and felt super appropriate for the theme. Great work! :D

Syntech Surfer by Xandruher 2023-05-04T11:01:05Z

I loved the art and visuals here, very dark and still vibrant! The synth/neon touches are great. The steering is a bit slow, but the controls overall feel good. I don't have much more to add that hasn't already been covered by others. I really enjoyed this and would love to see what more time working on it could deliver (buh-dum-tss :laughing: )

Space Haulers Inc. by apoly 2023-05-03T04:43:40Z

This was pretty solid overall. I respect the fight with UI, as it's always been a fight for me as well. The exection here was good, and the game kept me engaged for a good while. It's slow to start and the ships are pretty slow until you get the freighters, but I really like the idea. The generated icons, while looking really good and reminding me of something from the late-90s C&C era, stood out and felt inconsistent with the rest of the style. Great entry!
