This game got me in the mood for Halloween! I'm impressed that you were able to build out so many minigames. Good work
Highscore: 16 :D I like the graphics very much and I think this warioware style of microgames swapped every 10 secons is a really god fit for the theme. Music was pretty chill too. Maybe the minigames could have some twists - they seem pretty usual as they are now. Good work anyways!
this was super addictive. simple and clean and well executed
The game was fun, I love Halloween. But the arrow input aren't working on the mini-game with the pumpkin cauldron. I had fun anyway :)
Warioware! Why didn't I think of that! :D No, but that was really fun and definitely got high marks from me. High score was 17. Can't wait for Spooky day now!
highscore: 23 Game is so cool!
Nice art! The zombie platformer was so hard, but I like the pumpkin catch game. A lot of great little details here - esp. the pumpkin curser. The music was perfect :)
I like the Flappy Bat game. The parallax background is pretty, and I've always been a fan of bats so it's nice to play as one rather than them just being used as a generic spooky enemy.
Your UI is bravo! I need to learn that from you.
Got 30! The art style was nice (worked especially well in the bat game). The zombie jumping one was definitely the most tricky!
It's simple, creative and really fun! I love de art style!
Love the UI design! Jumps on the zombie minigame feel a little slow and hard to control, but I love the pumpkin minigame. The overall idea of the game is really good too, fits the theme perfectly.
I really like the graphics, it gives such a great halloween vibe!
The graphics and music are really nice. Amazing game. Good job.
Got a high score 55. Really interesting mechanic, and I loved the UI. I wish I saw more of a variety of the games during my run. Great job, and happy halloween.
Thank you all for the feedback!!
I really liked it! Ty for sharing :D
Nice idea for the theme, really impressed you pulled off so many different games in one jam! I agree with other commenters the pumpkin catch game was the most fun and the zombie platformer was the hardest :) Awesome job!
Cool game! Really cool idea to have the game switch every 10 seconds. I like the spooky theme!
Some minigames can be confusing at first, but it's still fun. Great job!
Overall: Warioware mini game fest! We thought about doing it but the prospect of making more than 1 mini game in the time frame scared us off! You all pulled it off! Well done! High score 16
Fun: Fun to play! Some minigames had slipper-y or difficult to gauge controls (looking at you zombie game). Some moved a bit to fast but I get the inspiration and reason so the rushed feeling makes a lot of sense.
Innovation: You all dared to dream of making a ton of games for one LD and thus you did! Well done.
Theme: new game every 10 seconds :ballot_box_with_check:
Graphics: Consistent art style as far as I could gauge, well done!
Audio: Love the music!
Humor: Spooky season themed warioware!
Mood: Good! frantic, rushed, determined to score highly!
I absolutely love the heck out of this. The minigames are all fun, and it's this rapidfire switch from one genre to the next that makes it very engaging. The artwork is incredible, and I love how the music keeps the same melody, but swaps the instruments out with each game. Very cool touch!
I recorded myself playing so you can have even more feedback!

Thank you all!! @100th-coin thanks for the video!!
Thanks to everyone! @100th-coin In the space invaders game, you can shoot and destroy the enemies to gain score!
Ah, okay! I was wondering if I was missing something! Thanks for letting me know.
Cool game, nice art work and music! Almost time for halloween so nice to see a seasonal game! Well done!
I liked the handheld console vibe and the transition from one type of game to another. a nice way to split up the work in a jam too, I hope to make minigame style game in the future too!
Thanks for the nice comments and feedback! Have a nice spooky month <3
Really impressive that you managed to create so much content in the available time!
Nice art. reminds me of rage games
Yoo very nice game! I loved how the music changed between games :D Great amount of content! Making all these different mechanics and art in a jam is impressive. The only thing I was missing was sound effects. I think makes a huge difference especially in these arcade-style games. Art was really well made. And the menus are really cool! Mini-instructions when starting a new mini-game for the first time would have helped. Even just a picture of which controls to use. Took a couple tries to figure that out. Anyway, solid game and good amount of polish!
Really cool that there's so many minigames and each minigame was pretty fun. I like how the music changes between each minigame too and the controls for each minigame felt smooth. I liked the zombie the minigame the most it was pretty challenging trying to get all of the coins. Got me ready for halloween too! Nice job!
You were so many people! How did you coordinate to make it a cohesive experience? Really love the halloween spirit. Interesting art and music. Fun mini games! Good job.
@mrmaico Hi! At least in the programming side, each person chose the mini-game that they liked the most and do it. We first setted up the "change game" mechanic, and then put all the games together after finishing them.
Can't talk much about how the art team worked (we were so focused on programming hahah), but they did an incredible job too!
Such a fun experience it was, hope you all enjoyed :)
Nice one!
Me encantó, soy malísimo pero los juegos son re divertidos y el hecho de que cambien cada 10 segundos mantiene el juego vivo. El minijuego del zombie fue mi favorito, muy bien logrado el control. EPICO
Cool game, with a lot of content ! I always find it tricky to do minigame compilations for jams, because it splits the work into a lot of different tasks, so you can't give the same polish to everything. I have seen a lot of teams do it because it seems easy to do, but fail because it actually requires a lot more work than making a single gameplay. But you did it pretty well, so well done !
I can't believe you managed to get all this done over the weekend. It's a very clever work of the theme and the music was awesome!
I looked at your team and thought what that amount of people can get done during a weekend. Well, apparently multiple games. Games are simple but they are polished enough that each one of them could maybe be their own jam game. In some of them (especially the zombie platformer) controls are a bit wonky but still the overall quality is quite high which is impressive!
Good work!
Absolutely love the graphics! Spend way too much time playing this. Your game has a lot to offer. Very cool game!
WOW ! The art is trully awesome ! Well done !
Nice art, love the small games which fits the theme very well. I’d like to see more innovative small games.
I'm amazed at how many mini games you've made. Although I wish I could spend more time in one before it switches over to the next. But I guess that is the idea behind the game :smile:
Nicely done!
Making a game with multiple games inside it takes a lot of work, good job on getting enough content in!
A very fun game! At first, it seemed to me to be a "simple" game, but I was pleasantly surprised!
It's a very creative, fun and beautiful game! It would be interesting to see a full version of this game. Good job!
Thanks to everyone!! :D
So you practically build 4 games, I get the idea of a spooky glitch and all to switch the game every 10 seconds The games were pretty basic and really short, they always start in the beginning so you don't need more than 10 secs of gameplay. Maybe next time focus on ONE game if you have such a big team? I would love to see what you guys can deliever if you work together and try to polish ONE game
Cool and fun game! the graphics were very beautiful and the music matched the theme perfectly.
I liked the art a lot. Very nice game, keep it up :)
It's Halloweeeeen season!! I like to see we were not the only ones to choose "minigames every ten seconds". I love the portable console feel and the graphics :D
I love this concept! The Gameboy UI is a really nice touch. Super fun overall.
Wow, it's rare to see a game with so much content in a game jam! Great job! 😁
Great game, great gameS ? like the art, the Sound, the global Game design, hope your campus will produce other games
Its WarioWare but spooky!! loved it, nice use of the 10 seconds
Neat random mini game game. I liked some better than others. My favorite was the pumpkin/spider one. The bat one didn't give you enough time to understand I just immediately died. Also the zombie spawns offscreen and I was very confused at first. He also doesn't control well especially with the screen scrolling. I like the music and the Halloween art style. Good job.
wow that's a lot of mini games for a jam, loved the concept, even though the mini games were like, common game ideas, having them in sequence made everything way more fun, having to change the gameplay on the spot. great work
Solid take on the mini-game genre. Could have used maybe some quick prompts explaining the controls at the beginning of each game, but aside from that it's a pleasant game. Good art too!
Good work! Really enjoyed all of the mini games! The falling spiders were my favourite! Art is really nice and spoopy! Music is really nice and I love how they fit all the games! Good work! :)
Nice Halloween tematic game,so cool
Impressive how many different assets you have build! Was fun to play.
Really cool that you used Ludum Dare as an opportunity for a class project in your university. I cannot even imagine how hard it must be to coordinate so many people to make a game in this short amount of time. There were only 5 people on our game and I found it already quite difficult to assure everyone got tasks assigned and everything was working together correctly.
Your game has a lot of content and while there are so many minigames it still feels very coherent, which is very impressive, again, considering the large amount of people that worked on it.
I enjoyed all the mini games very much. I hope you had a lot of fun working on this game together with your peers.
The cursor that becomes a pumpkin, amazing :laughing: It reminded me of Wario Ware, very cool. It would be nice to add a timer to see how much time we have left before the next game! Well done to the whole team =D
neat game. I like the music and the graphics. the pumpkin cursor was funny, it was a shame that I didn't use it in the required minigame.
Wow impressed about the amount of different types you have made!
It is nice to see a fun Halloween game here, well done!
Your comments makes us happy! Thank you very much!
Good game, my favorite mini game was the bat flappy bird! the skeleton platformer was the hardest, but i was still able to get 50 points!
Fun game. I like the halloween thematic, gives spooky vibes!
The game was ok. I had some issue with the control sensitivity especially side scroller platform. I end up over jumping areas. Overall the game was ok.
Glad to see some other argentinians in here. Keep it up!
Awesome game with some serious WarioWare vibes. Loved all the minigames and the different variations of the music.
Managed to get a score of 93 after a few tries :)

Great little game, had fun playing the different mini games.
Really nice work on this! lots of fun halloween mini games! Really liked the music too! :D
Great stuff, suitably spooky!
Perfect game for spooky season! :D
Really great game, thanks! enjoyed it a lot!
Good job & thanks for trying our game too! :D
Spooky chaos I can get behind! Would be nice if there was a bit more tuning per game and maybe fewer games. Also the switch to mouse for menu was a bit jarring. Still lots of fun
Wow this game goes fast and hard, you guys must have had a very fun time developing this project together. Special mention to the box art and music! It reminds me of those flash games I used to play when I was a kid.

Thanks a lot for your comments, we really appreciate the feedback!
I felt very nostalgic playing this game! It's all very simple, but very well executed, the use of the theme was perfect! You could see this game moving on as a way to revive flash games. Congratulations to everyone for the game!
sda.JPG my first try with only 17 points （sad） the game is great！keep on！
simple and clean and Halloween! highest score is 21! Good Work!
Me encanta!! Es entretenido y hermoso estéticamente!!
What can be improved : - Sounds : you can add sounds for click in the menu, jump, coin collection, shots... You can use sfxr to generate sounds quickly in during a Jam - Only one music declined with variation in differents mini-games, it maintain coherence in the all game but with this short loop of 10s it's too much repetition for my taste and it create a boring feeling - For the running game with the Zombi I have a small bug on my desktop I can only see the head off the zombi some part of the asset is out of the screen - arrow keys doesn't work in the game of coin collection with the pumpkin
What works : - Coherence of your universe through the different mini-games - The main menu (it will be better if the games were integrated in the console screen to break the 4 wall) - Polished graphics
The Art Style is so charming i can see your art team worked their butts off! the bat game is as fun as flappy berd :D
What a great idea to enter Ludum Dare as Uni students! Well done on the effort you put into these minigames. I've been blown away to see minigame collections in this jam, since working on all those must have been really tricky, so well done.
Overall I liked your game, but I think there are a few areas where you can improve: - The Music looping felt a little abrupt, especially when restarting the game. If you keep the music going, and ensure that it loops well, it will work even better. - Some more info about what controls are required for each minigame would help beginner players adapt quickly to each game. - Do try to reserve time to add sounds. They really do support feedback in the game. I know it's tricky (I didn't manage all the actions in my game), but if you can get the key ones (picking up coins, jumping), then it adds a lot to players enjoyment, and helping them learn what's happening.
Overall, good effort, and well done. I liked the theming of the games, and they connected well to each other. Lots of potential, keep up the great effort!
Nice collection of minigames, I love how there's different music themes and the art is very nice to look at! I think the zombie one could be improved by making the character not move automatically, I first thought it was an auto-scroller like the witch one but even after understanding it, it was hard to line up jumps when you couldn't aim at a platform and stop moving when on top of it. And as some others have mentioned I'd be happy to have arrow keys as an option (don't worry, you're *far* from the only ones who don't include them, so I have become the complains-about-arrow-keys guy around here :D). Also great job coordinating such a large team, I know it's not easy!
Managed a 32 score, but I feel most of my lifes were unjustly taken from me! Very nice jam game(s), the music and halloween theme really binded the different minigames together. Great work!!
It took me a bit to get the controls (having a pumpkin cursor threw me off ^_^). I really liked the subtly different music for each of the games. It would have been nice to score points on the witch jumping game. It was very clever to go with a "glitch" theme, so any bugs in the game could be plausibly denied; for example I'm not sure if the parallax in the witch game was supposed to be messed up or not.
The ten second time limit meant I had to wait for the games to warm up a bit before getting into the action (that's good for some heavily reaction based games). It would have been nice if the games "prewarmed" -- simulated a few seconds before starting -- OR if each minigame saved it's state and you resumed from where you left off.

* Where there any mini-games that were cut? * Is there a longer version of the background music (or did you wisely only write 10 second versions)?
Some more ideas for a polish pass: - A longer music, which jumps between the different styles without starting over. - Sound effect for firing in the "Galaxian" minigame.
Good job, I had fun playing this! (**My high score: 56**)
Very nice idea and a unique take on the theme! Changing the games every 10 seconds keeps the player on their toes :grin:
The individual games are simple, and each one could use some more polish - some more player feedback, like damage animations, additional sound effects etc. But they are supposed to be glitchy after all :grin: - In the witch game, the elements on the bottom (like gravestones) seem like they are in the foreground and should not be able to hurt you. Yet they do. - In the zombie game, the floatiness of the jumping doesn't really go well with the speed of scrolling and takes a lot of getting used to.
Graphics are pleasant and the music track, even though short, is fitting and nice. The bat game was my favorite one :).
@hitchh1k3r Thanks a lot for recording a video playing our game, love to see people playing it! and about your questions: 1- yes they were 8 games at first but we realice we didn't have the time to finish all. 2- no, there isn't a longer version, because we needed to something good, but we didn't have the time to compose longer themes. @fabula-rasa the witch game was the one we want to polish the most because it's the last one we implement, and we did see that everyone thinks the zombie game wasn't the one with the best feeling, so we are planning on polishing it
Wario ware fits the theme great! These all seem like very solid microgames. Good job!
I love the graphics! Very cool!
I liked that there are many different scenes
Cool game overall
Thoroughly enjoyed this! very cool.
