Yes! I found my entry on the mosaic! And here is the PROOF!
If you want to play my entry, just click here. Any feedback will be wellcome! (I will also try your game in return)
If you are looking for the famous mosaic, it is here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2016/08/30/your-game-in-this-mosaic/
so I’ve been trying to get my game form in but I keep getting this error:
but anyway just posting it here so it might get in or whatever
^info for the game on the download page
(accidentally had my game private D; )
Initially submitted to the compo, but I added some more polish and another level because there were more ideas! The rewards stage is pretty unfinished and i wanted to do more with it but the time wasn’t there
I hope you guys enjoy it, I had a lot of fun making this. There are a lot of things I would have changed were it a full fledged project but I’m still pretty happy with it overall

Hi everyone! Voting is almost over, but we thought we should write a post inviting you to play our game before the end.
(Mono no) Aware is an interactive novel with platformer elements that discusses life’s shapeshifting nature. We were really trying to achieve a delicate result using watercolour and subtle dialogue and, well, please let us know what you thought!
Controls:
Arrow keys to move
X to interact and push things
Z to jump
Just uploaded a vid describing a bit about my entry ;b
If you would like me to play yours let me know ;D
I could also record if you would like ^^
Platformers have been a fairly difficult genre for beginner programmers to design. Most of the problems I’ve encountered come from the physics engine that has to be built. Generally, people don’t know how to program collisions with tiles and end up with players hovering over the ground, falling through the ground, or some other equally annoying glitch. I want to show you how to issues like this, with a script I made. Well, I won’t give you the exact script, because you won’t be using the same program as me, but here’s the basics:
(make 'i' equal 'velocity', if 'i' is greater than 0, repeat this loop until it equals 0, subtracting 1 every time)
//Run the script below for every pixel the player would move.
{
if there's an object at 'x', 'y'+'i' and it's a platform,
subtract 1 from 'velocity' //Lower how far down to go.
}
'y' = 'y' + 'velocity' //Go to the new velocity.
Well, that’s all for now. Hope this helps! Bye

This is a puzzle platformer with it own kinky twist. One of the twins defies physics and hangs around ceiling like it’s nobody’s problem. It was fun to make. I wish I had started making it earlier so it would be much longer. But anyway you take what you get. 😉
Hi everyone!
Ludum Dare 32 is about to finish, and I just want to show you some games
that made me enjoy like a child.
Nuclear Autumn by phi6 – Jam Entry
I´m in love with this game. A whole experience.
……………..
X-11 “Gust Gunner” by cowboycolor – Jam Entry
8 bit platformer like. Great music, great gameplay and really cool to use
the leaf-blower. One of my favourites!
………………
Underground Hangovers by Deconstructeam – Jam Entry
I think is one of the best video games song i’ve ever heard. The pixel art
AMAZING.
Fantastic game.
……………..
Avian Days by esayitch – Compo Entry
Man, this game is really hard, but you can’t stop playing it.
…………….
Mario and the Poetry by gruhn – Compo Entry
This game has something really special, a great mood. Play and be happy doing it.
……………
Hey! and don´t forget, if you have time after playing those great games, to play mine.
Scream(But not too much) by Embalaje – Jam Entry
A metroidvania like “game”, with screaming mechanics and nice pixel art.
‘Ey.
Avian Days is a puzzle-platforming Metroidvania where you control a dude who can summon birds to aid him. In the beginning he can only summon them in one way, but he gains abilities as he completes challenges. The game is challenging, which is why I added a video.
You can use the birds as platforms over spikes, to soak up enemy bullets, and to disable foes. After you gain all the required skills, you can fight the boss and finish the game. The game can be finished in 5 minutes if you’re fast and don’t die.
So the idea is that you’re a cop, you have various types of mechs to take the criminals to task… And try not to sacrifice too many bystanders.
I want a levelling system to get access to better and better mechs, a fairly big city to patrol, and, well, non-programmer art.
……. Too ambitious?
I’m going to doze a little bit and see how far I can push it tomorrow.
(is this animated gif working for you? It only works for me if I click it. I swear it’s not a NPAPI plugin issue 😛 )
Another one by Ava and Marte – your favourite turtle doves. We participated together last time with Fitzberry & Leif, and now we are back with one more dimension to explore – from every angle possible!
So grab your keyboard, or your gamepad, which might also be supported! Have a go! Help this poor fellow out of that scary television screen. Send it blasting off the table with a loud and static crack! That’s what it deserves.
(Game quality considerably higher than GIF)
Finally. Seventy-two hours of work, and this is the product. I’m very happy with myself, to say the least.
As I expected, I was able to really really polish the game for release today. I made the enemy difficulty scale as they were spawned, and added experience as an extra incentive to kill them instead of running past. Also implemented elite enemies and added scattered stone blocks using Perlin Noise.
Anyway, I’m not going to write a wall of text this time. Play the game here.
So, I switched to the Jam. Didn’t feel the game was good enough with what it had, and I hadn’t finished animating in time for the Compo deadline. Now the end result will be way better, way more polished and just generally better.
Got a ton done today – everything I told myself I would and more:
Also, the Unity 4.6 UI system is freaking amazing. No, I don’t care that I already said that.
I originally wanted the map to have better random generation and wanted to instead add Perlin Noise to it, but that caused weird problems if you turned around, so I had to downgrade it to simply having it being randomized within a specific range. Still less boring, so it’s good enough.
As for the player movement, I finally fixed a jumping bug that had been plaguing me since I added player movement. Occasionally, the game would never realize the player left the ground, and he’d be able to jump infinitely. Adding one variable change upon jumping fixed that, and I also ended up actually using Unity’s ForceMode2D system which made movement way smoother and more responsive.
The main thing I’ve gotta address for tomorrow is enemy difficulty scaling. As it stands, you can get infinitely powerful in every stat except speed, so if you played right you’d become essentially immortal. I plan to make the enemies rise in difficulty with each successive spawning of them, and plan to make killing them reward you with experience, which will provide a less frequent but more powerful permanent bonus similar to what opening chests does now. This will add incentive to killing enemies: Kill them and grow stronger; If you don’t, they’ll get stronger faster than you. Other than this, all that’s left is general polish.
Anyways, Unity 4.6 has a great UI system, and good luck!
