Interesting title, i like the HUD and eviornment, sadly the players are just default dummies but it's still pretty enjoyable. Would be great as a multiplayer game

pschichtel 2025-10-07 00:34

No Linux or Web build :'(

Great game, the mechanics were fun and I had a blast playing it! Did need to edit some settings so it could run smoothly, and I felt the mouse sensitivity was a bit too high. Apart from that the game was really fun

The atmosphere of this game is very strong - between the music, the growling and the lights turning out, the game does a pretty good job of being scary even before you see the monster, and the lab itself has quite a bit of interesting variety as well.

Being taunted by the bots is giving me some nostalgia for late 90s - early 00s Quate/UT bot deathmatch...

I made it run on Linux using WINE. It played fine, and I managed to not get killed in the end (took a couple of attempts though). World building is good :)

The game is easy to learn and fun, I'm surprised by the amount of polish and mechanics it has (like the different rooms, the heli who takes off at the end...) A great surprise, really nailed it.

evil23 2025-10-07 18:06

@pschichtel @klausklapper We managed to build for Linux!

pschichtel 2025-10-07 18:35

@evil23 awesome! The game is pretty intense

lizardinblizzard 2025-10-08 06:16

Agreed on @agnira comment. Many mechanics and interesting gameplay!

beebster-games 2025-10-08 09:46

The graphics are very good. HUD was excellent. A really good start for a interesting game

fyi on my machine zip files are detected as virus by windows defender on windows 11 :shrug:

evil23 2025-10-08 12:53

@squashi Zip files in general? Or just the one of this game?

I liked the idea and realization of the Ludum theme, and the interesting idea of crystals and their realization.

xparker 2025-10-08 16:57

Interessting idea. Alien with enemies. I collected way more money than needed escape (130k or so) and thus was only second to the choper.

varenka 2025-10-08 20:13

Creative concept! Definitely has potential as a full multiplayer game.

wisstopher 2025-10-08 22:28

Cool game, the enemy was intense and gave the whole competition of collecting the money that bit of spice that was needed. They really didnt like me though as I often died :cry: . Like others have said it would work well in a multiplayer setting. Great jam here :smile:

damyyr 2025-10-09 00:26

Concept works well, would love to see it in a multiplayer ! Died a couple of time because of my own incompetence, locking myself in the same room as the monster :D Very nice sound effect on him btw

Great entry, good job !

eugenik 2025-10-09 01:22

This brought back some memories!.

danicoredj 2025-10-09 18:39

cool 3d

logovostudio 2025-10-10 08:23

The great idea and graphics create a cool atmosphere

tuh 2025-10-11 20:47

Animations and screams are so funny man. I cant :laughing:

x2shadow 2025-10-13 14:24

A cool game similar to The Hunger Games, it was fun.

I win, I guess :)

классная игра

stephenwhoskins 2025-10-14 20:56

It is amazing what I see people coming up with for this Ludum's theme. Great job! =)

yibirabbit007 2025-10-17 11:38

Another new multiplayer game! This is really unique! How on earth did you manage to make this in just a short jam?

evil23 2025-10-17 13:45

@yibirabbit007 Thanks a lot! I guess cutting a lot of corners and skipping sleep :)

And many thanks to all of you guys! After some consideration, we decided to add **multiplayer** to the game. We will announce here when it's completed and hope to get some of you to play with us!

Just to be fair about this:

MULTIPLAYER IS A POST-JAM EXTENSION AND SHOULD NOT AFFECT YOUR VOTE!

This was pretty intense! I played the linux build and didn't notice anything I'd call a bug or issue really, other than the sound from the monster seemed to come from random directions, not necessarily where the monster was in relation to me. But other than that, everything seemed to work as expected, controls etc. Graphics were nice, music and sounds were on point as well. Great job!

ophiene 2025-10-22 00:55

Amazing work! It’s super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)

eloc 2025-10-22 20:47

Yooo that was intense! Loved it, great work.

darianifakina 2025-10-23 17:14

Great work, love it!!!

zimny11 2025-10-23 17:33

Great job! I absolutely understand that making multiplayer for a game jam would be a bit too much, so I get the NPCs. Cool idea. Collecting stuff is a bit slow for my liking but besides that everything worked fine. Well done!

evil23 2025-12-08 17:01

It took a lot longer than expected but here's our multiplayer: https://zhed.itch.io/cold-side
