AHAHAHA this was amazing. My new favourite. Loved the sound as well.
Excellent job most hilarious... Lv 11 and 2x potato powerups!
COOL - i actually played this for quite some time. old school fun of the finest kind. the video set the mood and humor perfectly.
By far the most funniest game I've played so far in this jam! :)
I laughed out loud. Fun concept. Nice build up with the video.
Ma lè concept il è jouste genialissimo.
And what an introduction.
Really original and well executed.
This was hilarious - needed a proofreading pass for the in-game text ("break," not "brake"!), but "minimalizing" other people's games with a hammer was strangely fun.
Thank you everybody for your comments. We are very proud to make you laugh so much :)
@Ryusui Thank you for noticing this mistake. We made the correction, as everyone has the right to change typos ;)
This is a nice idea, its cool that you include real "data". Very funny :)
Nice game! Is it possible to select your own game to break? Currently the game selected to break seems to be random?
Very fun and excellent humor ! i like ... hey... i hope you did 'nt brutalize my game ! lol
Amazing game to play after a lot of time rating games! I should finish every judging day playing this :D
Hilarious entry, destroying other people's game to minimalize them? brilliant!
@oskardevelopment : You can't break your own game. They are selected by random except yours. As omaromeir has summed up well, the purpose is to destroy other people's game to minimalize them :)
Hilarious! Can one minimalize our own game? or is that a minimal spoiler?
Amazing, laughed so much whilst playing this. My only gripe is the garish colours.
Also, damn, that leaderboard is tough to get on.
Clever idea - and helps others get more exposure (prior to being smashed).
The intro video was brilliant, so hilarious... XDDD
I loved the game as well, a really clever use of the theme :)
Lol, this is one of the funniest entries I've seen. And with an intro video, even! Awesome job!
This was great, and I love that fact that you've displayed other games in the competition!
Awesome. Wish it was a feature though so I could smash my own game just because it would be funny.
This game really lets the player let out some pent-up aggression.
Hilarious. Many props for such a creative interpretation of the theme!
Ahahah so much fun. Love the weird french accent of the guy in the video.
@amodo : Your first image presentation is so tiny that our parser didn't get you ^^ You can use the name 'lotusgame' if you want to test our game ;)
Wow, this was awesome. The +1000 sound was great! Genious concept. Keep it going! Score: $ 54690.
Excellent illustration of playing to the strengths of the web. Very original and inspirational. Well done!
Very cool concept. Well done. Cool that you even have a leaderboard. :)
Really clever and funny game! I love the idea of it, smashing other LD'ers games. The powerups kept it interesting, and it was fun to be able to smash all the games. I wish the difficulty was bumped up a notch. It was fun for a while, but it was far from difficult until I played for a really really long time.
Amazing overall concept, even if there's not a lot of gameplay there. The introductory video is hilarious, and the game is quite fitting of the theme. It's awesome how destruction can bring a certain sense of community! :)
Also, the tech is put to surprisingly good use, and a destruction click feast... that never gets old!
Best score: 85890$ "Save the Bunnies" turned out to be unminimalisable ;)
Congratulations! :D
Clever stuff! Cool video before the game and enjoyed a couple of rounds. Kind of wanted it to get to my game so I could smash that up too!
Does it ever find your game on the site? Does it turn into the infinite smash lotusgame project? :D
A fun idea and the physics is well done as well. It gets a bit repetative, though, but I liked it overall! Well done.
Love the use of other games' screen shots. And the sound effect for the Strip Potato was priceless.
What a brilliant concept. Haha. Just completely different, so massive respect for that. Innovation all day long right here.
I felt deliciously superior to my fellow contestants. Funny, unexpected, well done.
@Mase : Use a drawing tablet is an excellent idea for this game ! Smart :) Sure you can reach the top of ranking ^^
Very interesting and fun game. How did you test it, I wonder?
There is a bug: sometimes the breaking sound stops, powerups stop appearing, if you have an upgraded hammer, it doesn`t change back to normal visually, but acts like normal.
Also, at the game over screen, it sometimes loses a letter of the author`s name. Intended?
Awesome game! Incredibly fun, crazy concept, really innovative! Congratulations!
Madball says : We tested the game on all LD25 games. Same HTML structure for the robot that scanned LD website.
Thanks for bug reports. I think the author name bug is due to non utf8 chars...
Thanks for your nice comments !
Smashing glass rectangles of a Ludum Dare 26 game to create pixels tickled me. If you continue to develop this, clicking the rectangles got a little repetitive.
Cool, the leaderboard should have been on the frontpage =)
Well that was different! Haha, hilarious sound effects... Hm, just read the comment about the tablet... I have a touchscreen laptop, I think it's clear what must be done
Good idea and pretty fun (and it make advertisment for the other game)
I like your game very much. It's fun to play and the inclusion of all the LD26 games is a interesting concept. With a trackpad it's really hard, though.
Haha this is brilliant, what a great idea!
Too bad I don't exist...
Really funny. Mostly consisted of just randomly smashing mousebutton though.
I love you. I just love you.
I saved myself 77k and minimalised my competition.
Very interesting game idea, I just thought it was not challenging enough(maybe because I did not play long enough but I played long enough in my opinion that it should be hard). I am very surprised that you were able to make this though, as it looks very complicated to make.
Very interesting, really liked the glass breaking effects. Had fun smashing things, as always! :P
Super hamster : just simple things / concepts that we put together and different skill sets, nothing complicated enough we could not do it in 3 days. To tell you the truth, the dev whas only about 1 day and a half :-)
Ha, this was brilliant concept. Great intro as well!
Hahahaha, awesome use of real-world graphics! I liked it :D

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Hilarious. Awesome use of technology.
