Ecosystem is a little virtual garden made for Ludum Dare 34. It’s not a game as such, more of a sandbox. You change the terrain, plant seeds, water them, and watch as things gradually settle down. There’s a rough attempt at an ambient musical-ish soundtrack, and saving and loading so you can enjoy your little garden as long as you like.
Frankenstein’s Monsters, Inc. is my entry to Ludum Dare 33, the theme of which was ‘You Are the Monster’. It’s a simple management game where as Dr Frankenstein, you turn your monster-creation abilities into a business! Put your monsters to work to expand your production, or sell them for a tidy profit. Of course, the general public are not entirely convinced that digging up the dead, stitching them together, and putting them to work is completely ethical. Some might call it “monstrous”! You’ll have to devote some of your income to PR works such as building orphanages, to calm public outrage before they burn down your establishment.
Food Fight! is my entry into Ludum Dare 32, the theme of which was “An Unconventional Weapon”. It’s an arena shooter thing where you fight food. Unfortunately, it’s pretty broken for the majority of people, and managed to get my lowest ever rating in almost every category, so yay. A shame, because I quite liked it.
BREAKPONG is a mix of Breakout and Pong, where every time you hit the ball, it knocks a chunk off of your paddle.
Snowman Sumo is, well, a sumo-wrestling game about snowmen. Roll around, gathering snow to build yourself up, then smash the other player’s snowman into the water!
This was originally created from scratch in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 31, which had the theme of “Whole game on one screen”.
Update 06/04/2020: Replaced the archaic Unity Web Player build with an HTML5 one. So you can actually play it again! It’s been so long that I’m not sure if the after-LD improvements were included before or not, but it now features up to 3 player local multiplayer, singleplayer against the computer, and a bit more spit and polish. (But the same 8-second loop of a-capella “music”.)
Lorries in SPAAAAACE! is a haulage-company management game where you trade in socks, hotdogs, and balloon animals! Made for Ludum Dare 30.
SWAN QWOP was an entry into Ludum Dare 29, the theme of which was “Beneath the Surface”. It’s like QWOP, but with a one-legged swan attempting to swim across a ball pit!
Recreate an image by firing pixels in from the edges of the screen. This was my entry for Ludum Dare 26, the theme of which was “Minimalism”.
I did briefly toy with releasing it as a full game, but it turned out that the mechanics just were not interesting enough.
My entry for Ludum Dare 25. The theme was “You Are the Villain”, and I chose the villainous goblins from Dwarf Fortress.
You don’t really build a fortress (yet). All you can currently do is build housing and manage a food industry. I’ve had plans since to expand it into a full game, but so far that hasn’t happened.
