Here’s a timelapse! If it doesn’t show up, it might still be processing on YouTube.

Music by Nine Inch Nails – Ghosts – Track 34

miniPals is a minimalistic co-operative platformer. It features 7 levels of fun! 2nd player requires a joystick (sorry team)

Keep in mind that even though this is a co-op platformer, you can still enjoy it by yourself!

controls:

z – use power

x – switch player (1P mode only)

left & right arrows – move

check the README.txt for more information!

Oh yeah, that’s raspberry cream cheese. Mmmm.

Also, here is what I ate last night. Om nom!

*Fydo participates!*

Howdy!

Here is my entry. It’s basically a cross between robotfindskitten and a generic platformer.

Written in C, uses OpenGL. Didn’t have time to make a linux binary, sorry team.

I’m planning on doing a post-compo version, with bugfixes and better level graphics. Also, I’ll incorporate the other 3 mini-songs that I recorded, too.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Note that I’ve created a launchpad project for kittay. So you can file bugs there! Yay!

Meow!

Since the music to my game, Space Reactions, has become a little bit popular, I figured I’d tab it out for any fellow guitar players here. I haven’t got a guitar in front of me right now, but I think this is pretty accurate. I’ll update this post if I find anything wrong with it

Sounds good with some light distortion and little bit of tremolo. Enjoy!

Hey, not sure if everyone noticed the edit to my last post, so I’m making a new post…

It appears that I missed a source file (.py) in my original zip, so I’ve updated the zip to include it. If you were having problems running the game in linux or OSX, please re-download and try again

Thanks for your patience.

Hey everyone!

I’m happy to announce my final entry, Space Reactions. The aim of the game is to destroy planets using the pieces / fragments of other planets, which you ‘asplode using rockets! Bam!

There are 9 gutwrenching levels to tease your gravity-lovin’ brain, and it also features a totally original soundtrack! (special thanks to DrPetter, as I used his sfxr to generate the sound effects for this game)

Game download (includes both win32 executable and python source) right here:

edit: Updated the zip to include a missing source file (check the dates, I didn’t cheat! )

You don’t need to re-download unless you’re interested in looking at the source, or playing on a non-Windows machine

I’ve got some small bugs to work out, but I think I’m on track for a release before the deadline. Whew

Hello,

I’m off to a slow start. Due to some circumstances, I’m using my wife’s laptop to work on my entry. I was planning on doing something in C, but I couldn’t get the build env to work correctly and I didn’t feel like wasting more time getting it work. So I’m back to the good ol’ Python

I’ve got an idea involving planets and gravitational physics. I made this nice intro/menu screen (it’s animated! wowee!)

This was my very first LD entry ever!

It was written with python + pygame. I don’t have my original compo submission version handy, these screenshots are from the slightly polished version of the game that I have available on my website. Since “Anti-Text” was one of the themes, there wasn’t a title on the title screen, nor was there the status bar on the bottom of the screen when playing the game. The final version has the same original 3 levels as the compo submission though.

All in all, I’m quite happy with the result. It’s a nice simple game that allowed me to show off some of my ‘graphics-making’ abilities. I spent the majority of my game development time doing the graphics. The first level in particular took a very long time because I digitally painted it using my wacom tablet (see the second screenshot above). Phew!

You can download the game (both win32 and python source available) and find a bit more information here:

The theme for LD9 was ‘Build the level you play’ so I thought a neat game mechanic would be a board game in which players take turns constructing the board before they play. As it turned out, I was leaving for my honeymoon on the second day of the competition, so I really only had about 24 hours to work on the game.
With this game I did the development a little backwards. After planning a little bit, I usually jump into coding, but this time I did all the graphics first, then did the coding. I may adopt this methodology for future competitions because as I’m working on the graphics, I can think of more ideas and such.

Graphically, I think it looks pretty good. However, in terms of gameplay, this game is a little boring (as the title may suggest). I think the extra 24 hours would have helped me flesh out the ‘building stage’ part of the game, which would make the resulting game a little more fun.

This is my entry to the dummy compo. I HOPE I WIN!

Post Mortem!

What went right: I searched on google for a “dummy” picture, and then I found one!

What went wrong: The image had a stupid copyright in the corner!!! Luckily I used photoshop to crop it out! YEAH!

All in all, it was a great experience. I can’t wait to try the other dummy games!
