| Oct 7 23:18:59 | The way to the eggs | ♥ 3 | Great use of theme and I liked the different abilities of all the lil dudes, especially enjoyed the animations and the dung beetle going backwards :) I think the zoom is maybe 2x too big, a few parts felt like leaps of faith. Enjoyed some of the puzzles. The parasitism angle is really cool. The little comic at the beginning is really fun and nice | |
| Oct 7 23:28:21 | 9m 22s | Ratrace | ♥ 1 | Lmao I got dropbear-ed by a cat :D Love the cat physics and how they ice-skate everywhere, god they are fast. After awhile I got pretty decent at kiting them forever but getting them to hit props is another challenge entirely. I enjoyed this, super fun and the graphics/slowmo were enjoyable. Best I got was 1200, 2 cats/6props. |
| Oct 7 23:36:34 | 8m 13s | Gum, Dust, and Danger | ♥ 2 | Nice game! Could be longer, but it's a jam after all. I had flashbacks to this extremely old [sheep herding](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1644750/Sheep/) game where your sheep follow you like lemmings and die if they touch anything, was kinda relieved to not have to relive that here Something about the concept of tiny wall-jumping sheep makes me happy |
| Oct 7 23:49:08 | 12m 34s | Clay Clash | ♥ 1 | Neat little game, I liked the bomb enemies and felt like you could do a few interesting things by body-blocking. One of my minions spawned and got launched to the lower half of the screen, no clue what happened there. Feels like after awhile there's not much you can do to stop the onslaught. Maybe could be interesting if some food spawned on the map and you could increase the speed of your clay spawns by collecting them, so there's more of an incentive to venture out and more things to do. Great work :) |
| Oct 8 01:41:02 | 1h 51m | Blood Crux | ♥ 3 | I'd love to see a blog post or something on how you did the graphics, they are gorgeous :D I was a little confused by the health potions, they seem to hurt you? Maybe I missed something. Awesome job on this. |
| Oct 8 02:21:02 | 40m 00s | Tiny Brigades | ♥ 2 | Definitely my favorite game of the jam, I'm a sucker for roguelike deckbuilders and Wingspan alike and this hits all the joys of the genre. First victory, I went and played a few more rounds after with a mana-generation build and some HP stuff. Really really fun! slime.png |
| Oct 8 02:38:39 | 17m 37s | Minions' Discovery | ♥ 2 | Fun game, I think could be a little harder or could let you have more dudes in your army as for the most part there wasn't enough complexity to have meaningful synergies. I can see the potential and I like this Pokemon-meets-Final-Fantasy type gameplay. With some bosses and some more powerful enemies/creatures I could see it being quite fun! |
| Oct 8 03:14:20 | 35m 41s | Fallen Angel: A Larry Chin Mystery | ♥ 3 | Love the graphics, also lmao the red herring + the fatboys. Really nicely done and pretty complex noir in such a short amount of time (I was too dumb to figure it out) |
| Oct 8 03:24:09 | 9m 49s | Worm Wars | ♥ 0 | By god this game is impossible but it's a fun cellular automata simulation and I like sitting in a corner and watching individual worms and rooting for them |
| Oct 8 03:36:52 | 12m 43s | Business Beetles | ♥ 4 | BUSINESS SALES RUN |
| Oct 8 05:06:33 | 1h 29m | Defend Squeeb | ♥ 0 | Love the music, it slaps The pencil attack (single point) is a little powerful for how easy it is to use, though it's fun to force yourself to use the other things. Nice work :) |
| Oct 8 05:14:58 | 8m 25s | Tiny Rexes: Professional Dinosorting | ♥ 1 | Super cute and fun and never seen anything like this before, love the polish and graphics and sound, they all add up to a really cohesive experience. I got something like 2:16 for my best score. Most creative game I've seen so far this jam! |
| Oct 8 05:22:59 | 8m 01s | The Guardian | ♥ 3 | Absolutely gorgeous game and love the sound design all throughout, especially with the end of it. I feel a sense of pride for my saved lemmings and a sense of loss over the ones that didn't make it. Really enjoyed this, great work! |
| Oct 8 05:51:00 | 28m 01s | Tiny Garden of Eden | ♥ 1 | I like playing the Github version, setting num=100000, and creating a seabear tunnel straight to hell |
| Oct 8 06:26:21 | 35m 21s | You're the Wrong Color, Friend | ♥ 1 | Neat game, kind of like an RTS stripped to its core. Is Level 4 winnable? |
| Oct 8 07:41:16 | 1h 14m | SOKOBEETLES | ♥ 1 | Level 3 was tricky. Ended up solving all of them, very fun game, difficulty level was perfect IMO |
| Oct 8 08:10:28 | 29m 12s | Fungi Flow | ♥ 1 | My god the world is gorgeous. Flight controls felt good, on web I think it would help to lock the cursor to the center of the screen as the camera bugged out a few times I think cause of it. Love the sound of the wind flying past your ears and the piano music and how fun it is to bounce on the mushrooms. Awesome entry! |
| Oct 9 05:48:09 | 21h 37m | Slug Sprooch | ♥ 3 | Aw yeah I love this FUCK the government Very fun, the frogs are too good, they probably had some experience/trauma from Frogger I got through all five levels. Music is a bop and the smiling slug decal kills me |
| Oct 9 05:56:38 | 8m 29s | AHHElevator | ♥ 1 | Oh my god what a mood straight out the gate WTF Super unique game and what a cool idea, I am terrible at it but I really enjoyed the double hand mechanic. Are there really people getting 900 points?? Awesome job! |
| Oct 9 06:01:35 | 4m 57s | Rat Game | ♥ 2 | One day I wish to be as forward and direct as Ratony God-tier story and I am so glad. I cried, it was beautiful |
| Oct 9 07:26:54 | 1h 25m | Slime Store Simulator 2024 | ♥ 1 | Nice relaxing game. I had originally tried building a real shop before realizing it's optimal to just cram everything in one tiny corner, so I had the worst designed shop known to mankind :D Really hard to make money, seems like the prices are somehow less than what I pay for stock? You managed to get a lot working in a short amount of time, really cool to see! I love watching the slimes bobbing about |
| Oct 9 07:36:53 | 9m 59s | NotBigEnough | ♥ 0 | Maybe something wrong with the web build? I couldn't move or attack at all |
| Oct 9 07:56:01 | 19m 08s | Ludum Dare 56 - Hamster Hoarder | ♥ 3 | 95 hamsters have found a loving home :D Gameplay loop is nice and it feels good to get the upgrades. It's nice to see the different animations in the cages, you can see it overcrowding and whatnot. I found the early game to be somewhat brutal, my first playthrough I was taking my time. The first few upgrades are really critical. For movement, it'd be nice if you could move diagonally as well as in cardinal directions, I find that to be a little more natural and fun. Music was very peaceful |
| Oct 9 08:59:30 | 1h 03m | Bobby's Beautiful Bugs | ♥ 3 | My god I guess I have a Solitaire addiction or something, I played way too much of that. What is it with cards and parlor music and incremental dopamine hits that make games like this so appealing? Humans are such simple creatures Really polished game and love the graphics, everything is just so smooth and responsive and I like the system that auto-places stuff for you. Also I wasn't aware that you could make stacks at the top that don't start with an ace, that's a new mechanic for me. Nice work! |
| Oct 9 21:10:00 | 12h 10m | Tiny Tiny Tribes | ♥ 1 | Ayy nice I won at 8969 points with a blacksmith + warriors build This is crazy good, I feel like you could put it on Steam. Nothing felt overtuned or undertuned (maybe the tax collector/forager are slightly underwhelming). Also a small nitpick that IMO you should enter the first shop with at least 20 gold so that there's meaningful decisions to be made (seems right now you're always meant to skip). Otherwise a really cool take on the survivors-like genre |
| Oct 9 21:39:41 | 29m 41s | Creature Packets | ♥ 1 | GORGEOUS game, really captures the atmosphere of being a down-on-your-luck lab rat. Would be interested to hear about your process |
| Oct 9 22:17:16 | 37m 35s | Home place | ♥ 2 | Oh this was excellent. I made my campsite next to Giant Head and his new friend. Love the world you've crafted and the cutout system is sick Is it possible to get to the squirrel? |
| Oct 9 23:28:15 | 1h 10m | Gnomageddon | ♥ 1 | This is great, I love the cold open and the music changing randomly on upgrades and the GNOOOOOOOOOOOMEEEE when the guy dies, and the gnomes themselves exploding and most importantly the YOU'VE BEEN GNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED I love everything about this. One challenge I've seen with really small-scale strategy games like this is the meta is almost always "greed economy as far as possible, then spam units", and the design challenge becomes how do you punish greed such that you can't freely do this. But idk, anyway I really enjoyed this :D |
| Oct 10 00:02:04 | 33m 49s | Cheesy Escape | ♥ 2 | Really innovative puzzle game! I'm stumped on Level 11, it seems provably impossible to me so I must be missing something. Have to say I totally underestimated this game at first as some of the solutions are really clever. Love the little musical breakdown that happens during the song :) |
| Oct 11 07:41:10 | 31h 39m | Shrew | ♥ 1 | My favorite game of the jam so far! No notes. Really enjoyed the puzzles, especially the last one, as well as all the different creatures you managed to add |
