Oct 18 22:26:33 The Telegraphist ♥ 1 Bro really cool game like gameplay a lot really feel like an old war teleprathis or something like that!
Oct 21 07:51:00 57h 24m The Last Rewinder ♥ 2 I really liked your cassette store game! It has this strange, slightly depressing but nostalgic atmosphere. It reminds me of that contrast the 80s and 90s had, everything seemed so bright and colorful, but at the same time there was something dark and lonely underneath. I really like that kind of vibe. The gameplay was nice too! At first I was a bit lost and didn't really understand what to do, but once I figured it out, I got into the rhythm of handing out cassettes and working at the store. Funny enough, it felt more like working at a library than a cassette shop, haha. Overall, I had a good time playing it. Really liked the atmosphere you managed to create!
Oct 21 14:24:51 6h 33m GOT IT ♥ 1 Fun game! Feels a bit like Balatro but with a time mechanic and civilization, which is a pretty interesting twist. Really liked the chill vibe and enjoyed playing it. Nice work!
Oct 24 08:18:03 65h 53m Feed the Boiler ♥ 0 Nice game! Really liked the gameplay and graphics. Unfortunately, my dumb ass spent all the money and ended up losing 😭
Oct 24 08:19:16 1m 13s T.brick ♥ 0 I couldn't really play the game, but wow, it's impressive that you managed to make something like this! Really appreciate the creativity and innovation. Great work!
Oct 24 08:28:31 9m 15s Scrap Treasure ♥ 0 Game looks nice and I really liked the music! Unfortunately, I was completely lost XD. I understood that I needed to detach things, but had no idea how to attach or connect them properly. So I just ended up recycling all the tech instead XD
Oct 24 08:44:37 16m 06s TGISSTOGWLT (This Game Is Somewhat Similar To Other Games With Long Titles) ♥ 1 This game is amazing, from the graphics to the gameplay! I really felt immersed in it. Defending feels completely different here, and the AI really works like magic! You clearly have great skills working with it. It's honestly impressive how much you managed to create in such a short time. Pure magic!
Oct 24 08:49:11 4m 34s Five days at Youpi's ♥ 1 Nice game! I didn't fully understand how everything worked and got kinda stuck near the end XD. But the graphics and sound are perfect! Also, really loved the animated pin, it's so funny!
Oct 24 08:51:37 2m 26s BOOTLOOP.EXE ♥ 0 I really like parkour games, and this one is a pretty fun runner! Nice graphics and a really cool retro Tron vibe. Great work!
Oct 24 09:02:43 11m 06s OLD-CABLE ♥ 1 Great game! Really loved the old-school pixel graphics and the gameplay. The puzzles were fun, and even though I got stuck a few times, the difficulty felt just right. The music got a little repetitive after a while, but everything else was great! Thanks for making this game, I really enjoyed playing it!
Oct 24 09:08:06 5m 23s Hotline BBS ♥ 0 Nice, chill idle game! I'm not really a fan of the genre, and it felt a bit too slow for me. Also, there's a bit too much bloom in the graphics, which makes it hard on the eyes. But overall, the UI looks great and the music is really nice! I could definitely see myself leaving this running in the background. Thanks for the game!
Oct 24 09:14:26 6m 20s Rotabot ♥ 0 Amazing concept! tic-tac-toe in Ancient Greece, played as a robot with a mechanical arm, is such a creative idea. Using the arm felt great, and finding little ways to cheat made it even more fun and entertaining. The art style is just wow — making it look like a fresco was a brilliant choice. The music is also really good: chill, but at the same time it makes you feel like you're in some ancient game or even at the Olympics. Great job, guys!
Oct 24 09:25:53 11m 27s Mom, I'm ONLINE! ♥ 0 Amazing game! Pure chaos, just like those last few minutes of gaming when your mom calls you for dinner and you're desperately trying to finish everything at once. It actually reminded me a bit of MiSide! It's crazy how much you managed to make in such a short time. The music and overall vibe are funny and chaotic in the best way. You've got Spire, Doom, and so much going on at once! People with ADHD should be careful with this one, there's way too much happening! I genuinely got hooked. Thanks for the game, great job!
Oct 24 09:44:43 18m 50s Broken, Repair! ♥ 0 Cool and cozy game! Really enjoyed cleaning the Game Boys, and I liked how you implemented the mechanic of taking apart different components. At first, my dumb brain didn't read the instructions properly, so instead of returning the Game Boys to customers, I just kept throwing them in the trash. Took me a while to realize I was doing something wrong! Really fun experience, thanks for the game!
Oct 24 10:59:24 1h 14m Dial_Up. ♥ 0 Nice game! Really liked the phone concept and the upgrade system. It's fun seeing how you can improve things as you progress. Great work!
Oct 24 11:00:51 1m 27s Beam Racer ♥ 0 Nice Doodle Jump-style game! Really liked the CRT TV aesthetic, it gives the game a cool retro vibe!
Oct 24 11:03:34 2m 43s What is this? ♥ 0 Nice puzzle game! Really reminds me of those old Java mobile games I used to play. Love that nostalgic feeling!
Oct 24 11:07:47 4m 13s The Basilisk ♥ 0 Cool aesthetic, great platformer, and the pixel art is perfect. It really made me feel like the grim reaper of technology. Great job!
Oct 24 11:14:32 6m 45s Mr. Duck ♥ 1 Wow, guys, Mr. Duck is amazing! The graphics look really nice, and I love how you used the rewind mechanic in the gameplay. Such a cool idea! Also, happy to see someone else made a game about cassettes. Great minds think alike! Amazing work, guys!
Oct 24 11:21:02 6m 30s Argo ♥ 0 Nice puzzle game! Really liked the space theme. I was expecting a monster to jump out at any moment, but luckily nothing did! The atmosphere definitely kept me on edge.
Oct 24 11:22:55 1m 53s Leonardo's Space AdVinci ♥ 1 Felt like a medieval space engineer playing this! Really fun concept, nice game!
Oct 24 22:13:06 10h 50m THREAT* ♥ 0 Great PICO game! Really enjoyed the gameplay. It's challenging but fun, just like a good platformer should be. The boss fight was a nice touch too! Great work!
Oct 24 22:14:29 1m 23s Punch Card 0 ♥ 0 Nice graphics! Really liked the melancholic, slightly depressing vibe mixed with the chill gameplay. It creates a pretty unique atmosphere!
Oct 24 22:18:15 3m 46s The Inventor ♥ 1 Great gameplay! Really loved the art style, especially the reference to Gustav Klimt's *The Kiss*. Such a beautiful artistic touch!
Oct 25 20:57:52 22h 39m Old Tech Repair Simulator 2002 ♥ 1 самая пиздатая игра джема 30 балтики 3 из 30
Oct 25 21:15:39 17m 47s Ye Old Repair Shop ♥ 0 Really good game! Loved the vibe, the music, and the puzzles. I used to work as a sysadmin a while ago, and your game gave me some serious flashbacks! Really enjoyed the experience. Thanks for the game, great work!
Oct 25 21:15:48 9s fishGrinder ♥ 0 Nice horror game! Scared the absolute shit out of me, holy fuck!
Oct 25 21:17:59 2m 11s Windmeup!上发条! ♥ 0 Nice effort for your first game jam! I didn't really understand what was going on or what I was supposed to do, but it's still a good start. Keep it up!
Oct 25 21:22:42 4m 43s B-K1ND ♥ 0 Great platformer! Really liked how you used the rewind theme. Just a really well-made and enjoyable platformer. Nice work!
Oct 25 21:29:07 6m 25s Plug and Pray ♥ 0 Good game! Really liked the old-school command-line style. The gameplay is nicely designed and has a cool retro feel. Great work!
Oct 25 21:33:31 4m 24s DEAD PIXELS - THE LAST SIGNAL ♥ 0 Nice game with solid gameplay! Nothing particularly stood out to me, but overall it was a fun experience. Good work!
Oct 25 21:38:09 4m 38s Obsolete Absolute ♥ 0 Super cool game! The graphics are amazing, and I genuinely got addicted to playing it! Some parts could be a bit more comfortable and polished, but overall I had a great time. Nice work!
Oct 25 21:40:55 2m 46s Tokyo Dungeon Calling ♥ 0 Wow, a proper old-school dungeon crawler! Didn't expect to find something like this here, but it's really cool. Love the retro feel, great work!
Oct 25 21:47:07 6m 12s quitters ♥ 0 братан пиздатая игра прям класная про моего друга сделали вы крутые чуваки ) у меня только баг в веб версии типо авто сохранение меня баганула так что продолжить не мог а так все класс я потом скачал
Oct 25 21:58:13 11m 06s Check the Piss ♥ 0 Fuck, this is probably the funniest game I've played in this jam! Even though it's AI-generated, holy shit, that intro is hilarious to listen to. I couldn't stop laughing!
Oct 25 22:04:47 6m 34s RAM256 ♥ 0 Great game! I've already seen something similar before, but I still really enjoyed the gameplay. It gets more intense and stressful with every second, which makes it even more fun! Really nice work!
Oct 25 22:22:44 17m 57s Coup of Appliance ♥ 0 Great JRPG! Really loved the Undertale-like vibe, and OMG, I absolutely love the penguin!
Oct 25 22:24:40 1m 56s Tokar ♥ 1 бля игра про токаря ахуена чуваки )
Oct 25 22:28:10 3m 30s ANIMAL BAR TYCOON ♥ 0 Great visuals, and the animations are amazing! I really like barista games, and one of my good friends is a barista, so I immediately connected with the vibe. Got completely immersed in the flow of the game. Really nice experience!
Oct 25 22:31:41 3m 31s Surface Value ♥ 0 Fun game! The deeper you go, the more everything starts looking like it has a piss-yellow filter.
Oct 25 22:35:37 3m 56s Nomad City ♥ 0 Not really a fan of idle games, but this one is actually pretty fun! The graphics look great, and I'm impressed by how much gameplay you managed to pack into such a short development time. Really cool work!
Oct 25 22:39:01 3m 24s BOGEY OR BANDIT ♥ 0 I'm sorry, but this is like the freaking fifth game with a radar mechanic I've played in this jam! But honestly, yours is probably the best one so far. The visuals, gameplay, and overall feel are really well done. Had a great time playing it!
Oct 25 23:06:48 27m 47s FREILOW ♥ 0 Блин, графика и геймплей реально очень зашли, а атмосфера вообще отдельная тема. Чувак, это охуенно, я прям залип!
Oct 25 23:12:41 5m 53s No Matter ♥ 0 Amazing experience! I felt like some ancient spirit or a cosmic force, just floating through space in search of energy. Such a unique feeling, honestly haven't played anything quite like it before. Really enjoyed this one!
Oct 25 23:15:40 2m 59s Moth in the Machine ♥ 0 Wow, just wow! I honestly didn't expect a game about keeping an old computer running to be this interesting. Such a unique concept, and the atmosphere is really something else. Genuinely surprised me, great work!
Oct 25 23:16:28 48s Tech Scav ♥ 1 Really enjoyed this one! The survival gameplay is fun, and I love the flashlight mechanic. The whole atmosphere makes things feel pretty tense, especially when you're trying to survive. Would love to see this game developed further. Great work!
Oct 25 23:17:54 1m 26s Like Clockwork ♥ 0 Really nice puzzle game! I liked the concept and how it makes you think through each level. The difficulty is pretty challenging, but that's part of the fun. Cool little game, great work!
Oct 26 07:06:12 7h 48m 1999.12.xx ♥ 2 Wow like a lot jrpgs specially made in rpg maker when I was just starting making games I also spent a lot of time with this tool. Nice job like atmosphere of the game.
Oct 26 09:02:13 1h 56m I Was...? ♥ 3 Really liked the concept! The idea of finding anomalies in your own home while trying to remember how everything looked before is pretty cool. I especially liked the sticky note mechanic, it's a nice touch and makes the whole experience feel more interesting. The atmosphere is also really well done. There's something creepy about being in a familiar place but slowly realizing that things aren't quite right. The visuals and sounds fit the mood nicely too. Overall, a really interesting take on anomaly horror. Enjoyed this one!
Oct 26 09:03:45 1m 32s Descent ♥ 2 Really cool concept! Mixing horror with actual Lua programming is something I definitely didn't expect to see in this jam. As someone who's into programming, I really like the idea of having to write code to interact with old equipment and explore an abandoned bunker. It's a pretty creative way to use the Old Tech theme. The whole setting sounds creepy too, especially the idea of going deeper into a facility where everything is falling apart. I love seeing games that try something different with their mechanics instead of just making another typical horror game. Really interesting work, guys!
Oct 26 09:07:30 3m 45s RETRO RECOVERY ♥ 0 Really interesting game! I like how challenging it is and how much concentration it demands. It's definitely not the kind of game where you can just relax and switch your brain off, which makes the concept pretty unique. I do think having a few short breaks between the more intense moments would make the experience a bit more comfortable, because it can get overwhelming. But overall, there's a lot of potential here, and I appreciate seeing something different from the usual game jam entries. Nice work!
Oct 26 09:22:13 14m 43s Who is Nana? ♥ 2 Wow, the art style in this game is seriously impressive! I really love the idea of mixing an old Windows 98 computer with psychological horror. There's something about that retro aesthetic that makes everything feel nostalgic and creepy at the same time. The pixel art looks beautiful, and I especially liked the little details in the computer interface. The whole concept of getting to know Nana through old technology is a really interesting take on the jam theme. It also reminded me a lot of Project VIRAI, especially the overall vibe and atmosphere, which I really enjoyed! It's honestly crazy that you managed to put all this together in just 36 hours, especially as a solo developer. Really impressive work!
Oct 26 09:26:21 4m 08s Vitruvian Machine ♥ 1 Really nice game! It instantly reminded me of the old Bad Piggies game by Rovio, which I used to love, but with a really cool Leonardo da Vinci twist! I especially liked the art style, everything looks like it came straight out of his sketches and notebooks. The whole idea of building crazy machines and watching the Vitruvian Man try to survive them is hilarious. The physics make everything even more entertaining, and it's fun to experiment with different constructions. I also love how you managed to combine historical inventions with this kind of gameplay. Such a creative way to approach the Old Tech theme. Really enjoyed this one!
Oct 26 09:32:04 5m 43s Tape On! ♥ 1 Aaaa, the pixel art is so cute! Really happy to see another game about cassette tapes in this jam, especially since we made one too! I really enjoyed the platforming, and the whole retro atmosphere is just lovely. What made me smile the most were the references to those old 90s anime series I love. It's so nice seeing that kind of aesthetic in a game! The whole experience feels nostalgic in the best way, and I genuinely had fun playing it. Really nice work, guys!
Oct 26 09:36:04 4m 00s Plug In & Out ♥ 1 Really cool game! I love the idea of working as a telephone switchboard operator in the 1950s. It's such a fun and unusual way to approach the Old Tech theme! The whole retro office atmosphere is really nice, and I like how something as simple as connecting phone calls can turn into complete chaos when everyone starts calling at once. The coffee mechanic is a funny little touch, and I love that you can also get distracted by office gossip instead of actually doing your job. It makes the whole experience feel more alive and entertaining. The visuals fit the setting really well too. Honestly, I'm impressed by how much you managed to put together in just 72 hours, especially with all these little mechanics working together. Really nice concept and execution!
Oct 26 09:54:51 18m 47s Right To Repair ♥ 1 Really fun game! The longest I managed to keep my phone alive was 3 years, but I had a great time trying to make it survive longer. I love the idea of constantly repairing and upgrading an old phone instead of just replacing it. It also brought back some funny memories because I actually had a Nokia like this years ago. That poor phone went through so many ridiculous situations, and somehow it just kept working. Playing this reminded me of all those moments! Really nice take on the Old Tech theme, and I love the humor behind the whole concept. Thanks for the game, really enjoyed it!
Oct 26 09:57:23 2m 32s You... Bastet ♥ 1 I remember seeing a post about this game right at the beginning of the jam, and I already had a feeling I was going to like it. And yeah, I wasn't disappointed! The pixel art looks great, and I really love the whole Ancient Egyptian aesthetic. The music fits the setting so well too, it really adds to the atmosphere. There's something about this combination of art, music, and Egyptian mythology that just works. And of course, every good game needs cats! Especially when we're talking about Ancient Egypt. Really happy I finally got to play this one after seeing it so early in the jam. Great work!
Oct 26 10:01:44 4m 21s Zakat ♥ 0 Очень вайбовая игра! Только увидел обложку, сразу понял, что обязательно надо попробовать, и вообще не пожалел. Атмосфера тут просто невероятная, есть в ней что-то особенное, что сложно даже объяснить словами. Среди такого количества игр на джеме эта реально запомнилась своим настроением. Люблю, когда игра цепляет не только геймплеем, но и тем, какие ощущения оставляет после себя. Рад, что не прошёл мимо обложки и всё-таки решил сыграть. Спасибо за такой необычный опыт!
Oct 26 10:08:43 6m 59s Melody Machinations ♥ 2 Really loved the visual style! It's a pretty simple game, but the whole idea of using flight to tell a story is really creative. The art style especially caught my attention, it has this charming old-fashioned look that reminds me a bit of The Aviator and Hugo, that movie with the automaton and the early days of cinema. There's something really nice about this combination of old technology, flying machines, and that almost storybook atmosphere. I also like how you managed to make something so simple feel unique and memorable. It's always cool to see games that try to tell a story in an unusual way. Really nice ideas here, well done guys!
Oct 26 10:12:20 3m 37s KnockIA 3310 ♥ 4 This is so freaking funny! Who would've thought that an old Nokia 3310 would become humanitys last hope against AI.
Oct 26 10:13:15 55s Data ♥ 2 Really nice concept! I like the idea of playing as a secret agent who accidentally gets trapped in a basement and has to solve puzzles to escape. It has that classic escape room feeling, where you need to pay attention to every little detail instead of just rushing through. The 3D environment looks pretty nice, and I like the mysterious atmosphere. One thing that could be improved is making some clues easier to notice, especially in darker areas. A little more feedback when interacting with objects would also help players understand what they're doing. Still, it's impressive how much you managed to put together for a game jam. There's definitely potential here. Nice work, guys!
Oct 26 10:14:27 1m 12s Dialup Debug ♥ 1 Really cool idea! I honestly didn't expect to see a game where you play as a little ladybug trying to fix a broken keyboard. That's such a creative take on the Old Tech theme! I especially like how you turned something as simple as typing into an actual puzzle, where you have to figure out the scrambled keys while carefully planning your moves. The whole retro computer aesthetic fits the concept really well, and the little ladybug makes it even more charming. I think having a proper tutorial inside the game would help a lot, since the mechanics can be a bit confusing at first. But the idea itself is genuinely interesting, and I love seeing unusual puzzle mechanics like this at Ludum Dare. Nice work, guys!
Oct 26 11:00:01 45m 34s OBSOLETE ♥ 3 Really creative idea! I love how you took the Getting Over It concept and mixed it with other mechanics instead of just making another climbing game. It gives the whole experience its own personality and makes the gameplay much more interesting. I especially like how you experimented with different ideas while keeping that familiar Getting Over It feeling. It's the kind of game that can be frustrating, but in a fun way that makes you want to keep trying. Really cool to see this kind of creativity during a game jam, especially with such limited development time. Nice work!
Oct 26 11:01:15 1m 14s ToM ♥ 2 Really nice game! I've always been a big fan of Pokémon games, so this one immediately caught my attention. I love seeing that kind of old-school RPG experience in a game jam, especially when developers only have a few days to put everything together. There's something really charming about games inspired by classic Pokémon, and it's always fun to see different takes on that formula. I'd honestly love to see this project developed further, because games like this have so much potential. Really happy to see something like this at Ludum Dare. Nice work!
Oct 26 11:01:41 26s Idle Akademia ♥ 1 Really love the art style! It immediately reminded me of those old Flash games I used to play as a kid. There's something so nostalgic about the hand-drawn graphics, especially the little characters and all the small details. It really brings back memories of spending hours playing random games on the internet. I also like how the whole clicker concept fits with the skill tree and upgrades. It's simple but pretty satisfying to see everything progress. The game has a really cozy, old-school feeling to it, and I enjoyed that a lot. Thanks for bringing back a bit of my childhood!
Oct 26 14:03:41 3h 02m Yesterday, Probably ♥ 3 Really loved the Victorian, Bloodborne-inspired aesthetic! The game looks absolutely beautiful, and I'm a huge fan of this kind of dark, gothic atmosphere. The art style alone was enough to catch my attention, but the card-based gameplay made the experience even better. I really like how the visuals and gameplay work together. There's something about playing a card game in this kind of setting that just feels right. The whole experience has a lot of personality, and I genuinely enjoyed my time with it. It's always great to see such a strong visual identity in a game jam project. Amazing work!
Oct 26 14:47:24 43m 43s Ctrl-Alt-Delete-CAT ♥ 2 Mom I want to play stray. We have stray at home XD
Oct 26 16:57:43 2h 10m The Oldest New Tech ♥ 1 Really nice visual novel! I always enjoy seeing games like this at Ludum Dare, since most entries focus more on action or traditional gameplay. It's nice to have something where you can just slow down and enjoy a story for a change. I also appreciate how much work goes into making a visual novel, especially with such a short development time. It's a different kind of experience compared to most games in the jam, and I'm glad I gave it a try. Nice work!
Oct 26 16:59:47 2m 04s Screen Dasher ♥ 1 Really cool game! What caught my attention the most was how unique it feels, both visually and in terms of gameplay. I love seeing games that try something different instead of following the usual formula, and this one definitely stands out! The visual style has a lot of personality, and I really like how the gameplay feels different from what I'm used to. It's always fun discovering creative little projects like this during Ludum Dare. Especially impressive considering how little time you had to develop it. Really enjoyed this one, nice work!
Oct 26 19:26:21 2h 26m Gadget-o-Rama ♥ 1 Really fun idea! I like how you turned old-school gadgets into little fighters, it's such a funny and creative take on the jam theme. The whole idea of choosing a gadget from your pouch and sending it into battle is pretty charming, especially since each one has its own attack pattern. I also like the randomness of choosing between three gadgets, it adds a nice bit of variety and makes you curious about what you'll get next. There's definitely a lot of potential to expand this concept with more gadgets and different abilities. It's the kind of weird little game idea I love seeing at Ludum Dare. Nice work!
Oct 26 23:19:44 3h 53m Time Traveler ♥ 1 Классная игра! Очень понравился визуальный стиль, такой мрачный и депрессивный, прям хорошо передаёт атмосферу. Довольно долго сидел над загадкой и, кажется, уже был близок к разгадке, но в итоге устал и так и не прошёл до конца. Единственное, что реально начало бесить, — это постоянный звук сирены, особенно когда долго пытаешься что-то решить. А так игра отличная, получил удовольствие, даже несмотря на то, что не смог её закончить. Хорошая работа!
Oct 26 23:24:49 5m 05s Abataz ♥ 1 Really nice old-school RPG! I love how closely you've recreated the original Game Boy look, especially with the limited color palette and tiny resolution. It really gives the game that nostalgic feeling of playing something from the late 80s or early 90s. The procedurally generated world is also a cool addition and makes the project feel quite ambitious for a game jam. I like that you went for a proper RPG experience with exploration, monsters, and equipment rather than just a short minigame. Overall, a really interesting project and a great interpretation of the Old Tech theme. Nice work!
Oct 27 16:10:50 16h 46m Brother, hurry and put the disc in... ♥ 0 Really cool concept! I like the idea of controlling two characters in completely different situations, especially how the brother helps his sister by switching floppy disks to give her different abilities. It's a really creative way to use the Old Tech theme, and the whole setup feels quite original. I also like the contrast between the old computer and the fantasy world inside it. The hand-drawn art gives the game a lot of personality. It's impressive how much you managed to put together in just three days, especially with a mechanic that connects both characters. Great work!
Oct 27 16:23:48 12m 58s Past Bedtime: One More Level ♥ 0 Really nice game! It actually reminded me of The Joy of Creation, the FNAF fan game where you also have gameplay set in a bedroom. But what's funny is that this game feels like the complete opposite! Instead of being stressful and terrifying, it's actually really chill, relaxing, and cozy. I love how a similar setting can create such a different atmosphere. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and the cozy vibes. Great job!
Oct 27 16:25:52 2m 04s Siege of Syracuse ♥ 1 Really nice game! I've always enjoyed tower defense games, so this one was right up my alley. I like the idea of defending Syracuse using ancient technology instead of the usual towers and weapons. It gives the familiar tower defense formula an interesting twist, and the historical setting makes it stand out even more. I also think it's a creative interpretation of the Old Tech theme. Great work, especially for a game jam!
