A few serious crash bugs towards the end killed any chances I had of getting anything out for the deadline, unfortunately. So, no LD entry from me. Still, I’ve learned a lot from this challange and I’ll definitely be back in four months. Hopefully third time lucky!
Well, I managed to get quite a bit of polish in two hours, I think I’m done with it now. The real game was supposed to be about surviving many waves of enemies, but I just don’t have time to make that happen.
Here’s the game.
For people not judging the game, I have an expanded version here.

Alright, I am done. Just a little “standard” AWOD. Too tired to write a description. I like to add I still don’t like the theme :'(
Well, basically:
You are a scientist at CERN, working on the LHC – LHC malfunctions, a blackhole is generated and you have to flee from the CERN … to the super-secret anti-blackhole-buffer-device-powered super-bunker (which is painted in antimatter-paint, so thats a plus also!)….. :/
Windows-Binary and sourcecode: Here
WSAD or Arrow-Keys to move, SPACE to activate stuff.
Features:
Things left out: Well, the highway-chase, a lot of gameplay, leveleditor for the player, good graphics, sounds, music.
Thanks to all the ppl in #gosu, it was a real blast, even tho my entry sucks! Maybe we manage to meet for the next ld!

Mama always told me to keep a safe distance between myself and the advancing wall of doom.
Navigate treacherous terrain while a giant wall of fire chases you at unreasonable speed! Increase your boost meter by getting rad airtime! And…that’s about it. All content including audio is procedurally generated, except the car model, which I punched in by hand. This means the filesize is small; the linux binary is 66 kB. Note: It seems I forgot to compile a linux version after my last change–putting in code to restart the game when you die and press space/shift. Also this doesn’t work like I intended on windows (restarts immediately if you’re boosting when the wall hits you). That and the fact that there’s no scoring are the biggest problems. I’ll do a postcompo version with some more polish later.
Controls: up, down, left, right to move. shift/space to boost.
THIS GAME HAS SOUND.
Official entry: Download 256kB (win32,linux)
DOWNLOAD THIS: Download 491k with DLLs (win32) if you’re not sure you have OpenAL. This is an update that’s way past the deadline, but it’s the same as above except with DLL files for audio.

This is the final version of my game, ‘Defend your castle’ (I know, not the very best title in the world) against a lot of monsters, which represent the wall of doom. Well, can you manage to survive until the very last level? Use missiles to kill the monsters and walls to repel them. Or use the hammer guys (but those are expensive, at least at the beginning). Don’t forget to upgrade your units, and squeeze the money out of your civilians, providing you have some
Ten levels for you to play. I forgot to make an intro as well as to make credits.
*edit*I should have made at least one picture for explanations. Sorry. So:
Missiles are $100, Walls $500 and Soldiers $1000 (kinda hard to see)
You can raise the tax to get more money, but that cuts down your peoples growth.
You need a few people, should you really get to the last level, since money isn’t everything
The monsters will kill your population if they reach the castle
Soldiers only walk on their path
This game is mouse control only
BTW, the rainbulb can’t be beaten by soldiers or missiles, so you have to go with the last defense that you got; and there are monsters which will just walk over your barriers
Stupid by me: i should have limited the number of walls, since it’s O(n) in calculations

This has been an enjoyable 48 hours! Too tired to think of anything witty, so just enjoy the game

As usual in these competitions, I got about 4 hours to work on it.
But there’s something like gameplay, and definitely something to build on for a later release.
You will need pygame installed, and that’s all
Tested on Mac Intel, but I haven’t done anything tricky that shouldn’t run on other platforms. I can package this, actually, but (sniff, sniff) haven’t had the time.
It’s been fun, and I’m glad to have actually made it to the end, after a fashion.
Since there’s no intro screen, I’ll have to tell you. You are the bluish circle. The red guys are lemming-like dots about to get squished by the … advancing wall of doom… You scoop them up.
(The scoring is wonky, so you win by scooping up any number of lemmings before the wall advances, so the only way to lose is by failing to scoop even one — oh, well, I’ll fix that in the future — which I propose to abbreviate IFTITF from now on, to save typing)
Without further ado, here’s a download link:

I’m calling this one done. Will post a post-mortem (and food!) later.
Download:
http://haitaka.googlepages.com/5parrowhawk_LD14_WallGirl.zip
Instructions:
(1) You’ll need at least the XNA redistributable to run it. Also, a decent 3D card (anything from the last 4-5 years. Technically Intel GMA should work too!)
Download: XNA redist
(2) During gameplay, Z fires spread shots, X fires laser, Z+X fire missiles.
(3) The wall circles block enemy bullets of the same colour. Move into the circles and shoot to change the colours.
(4) When the wall is up and running, C uses your super attack (+ temporary invincibility). When it is offline, C summons it at the cost of one bomb.
(5) When the game finishes, please press Esc to exit. Didn’t have time to test and debug go-back-to-main-menu, even though the code is half-finished.
Troubleshooting:
If it doesn’t run even after installing the XNA redistributable, please consult my contest page:

It’s actually not done, but it’s as done as it’ll get within these 48 hours. It’s mostly done, though! Enjoy.
Play (Flash)
Congratulations, this is fantastic.
FLEEDOM FLIES – by HybridMind – April 17th-19th, 2009
Created from scratch for Ludum Dare 14’s 48hr game competition

The more expanded your fleet the larger your score multiplier! Watch out though as this will make you more vulnerable sometimes. To score high you will need to balance when you contract and expand with how you move through the alien armada.

I still can’t crack through 85,000 and I’ve been playing a lot here and there. Actually I think this is one of the first games I’ve made yet that I am actually enjoying playing a lot. That is a nice change for once. 😉You, the lone hero, have arrived just too late to stop the evil wizard from opening a gate to the shadow realm. Plan B involves running like hell.

Ok — I fail at planning and at keeping online development journals apparently!
(I also fail at taking pictures of my tasty food stuffs, but I knew that ahead of time.)
I decided at way too close to the last minute to whip up something for this LD. (my first — which is probably why it’s been such a clumsy affair!)
In any case, it’s a little Flash game I put together with FlashDevelop (and SFXR for the few sounds it has) called Crushing Pressure (the screen shot doesn’t really do it justice, even though there isn’t that much justice to do).
It’s online and playable here:

Update (4/22/09): I was having trouble hosting my game on my home server, I had to move it to my domain host’s server here: http://windsorschmidt.com/dl/winferno_LD14_youfirst.tar.gz Thanks!
It’s ‘done’ !! Tested on Linux only. Binary and source included. OpenGL, OpenAL, libvorbis.
http://monsters.dontexist.net/winferno_LD14_youfirst.tar.gz
Intro and Instructions (that I forgot to include in the archive):
You are an islander, and must appease the nature gods (a huge tsunami and a volcano). Punch the shaking huts to release virgin sacrifices, touch them (er, move to their location) to pick them up, and hurl them in to either advancing wall of doom to stave off imminent (and I mean imminent) death.
Controls: z and x keys (jump and throw/punch), plus the left and right arrow keys (run left/right).
Annoying bug: you must be moving left or right in order for you to successfully throw a virgin.
Thanks for a fun compo!

Pretty simple game. There is imaginary water on the left side of the screen. Your job is to create a path to the other side of the moving dam. Break the dam by moving three of the same colored blocks together.

Hiiii,
Here it iiis:

Mac version: http://www.raschke.de/julian/temp/ld14_final.zip
Source code: http://www.raschke.de/julian/temp/ld14_src.zip
Not much content—sorry—I lacked direction and worked much more iteratively than before. Only really worked productively during the last hours. But I managed to do some nice little tricks using just a 2D lib
Enjoy!
(Reuploaded the next day because the original wording was unintentionally offensive in one instance. Didn’t touch the rest.)
Here we go!
Had to do a last minute downsample of the sound to make the zip small enough to upload =P
