DISINTEGRATE Roundup
July 31st, 2011
This month is a testament to the creativity of the community – there were lots of interesting interpretations of the theme and some very experimental ideas, not only did we get death by disintegration, but also melting ice blocks, fireflies following, and even a game that disintegrates its own mechanics!
My apologies for the slight delay in the round up for this month! But now, without further adieu, let’s check out these 19 games:
Closer, by Vamsi Krishna. Veligatla
Get close, but not too close to disintegrate your enemies in this simple but fun game.
znMacedonia, by Zink Interactive
Fun, polished, stylish disintegration of ships by saucer.
Guide a block of ice to the end of the level past heated obstacles before you completely melt – simple, but pretty fun!
A unique physics puzzler exploring swinging and breaking ropes, easy to imagine this one working well on a touch screen.
Interesting concept in which the game disintegrates itself if you mess up!
Build up a base, attack your opponent, and launch a space ship to win, all while keeping your headquarters from being destroyed in this strategy game.
All sorts of interesting interactions to explore in this game as your try and reach the top.
Swarming Elements, by Spunkmeyer

Agent Atomic Actionfists, by Aidan Wolf

Explore, grapple, and disintegrate a procedural slowly spinning world in this exploration game.
Capture the Fireflies, by Rodrigo
Collect little fire flies and lead them home across multiple levels in this elegant game.

Great games! Congratulations to all participants. My favorite is Plastique.

I wanted to try Closer because its gameplay looks similar to a failed attempt at a game I created for some previous Ludum Dare (the “Enemies as weapons” one), but it doesn’t work in Firefox 3.6 or Midori… (That’s probably fair enough: my game didn’t work on other people’s computers either.)

Icepunk is one of the coolest games I’ve played in a long time.
Grave Game seems to not work on x64 or something; did anyone else get it working?

Lots of great showings this month! Tetratower, Icepunk, Plastique, and Space Mass were some of my favorites.
Grave Game worked for me.
…I’m starting to get deja vu about some of these games…
