For those who doesn't know the entire alphabet this game is definetely hard. Maybe you should put the alphabet in? I think that would be fair. The graphics, music and vibe are really good.

this game is amazing, I enjoyed it and now want to buy it on steam :D made it to the 11th wave btw
Cool game. The only thing that bothers is low amount of information about different stuff, f.i. buildings, what they do and how it upgrades if I upgrade them. It wasn't really obvious from the beginning that it is Tower Defense. But I like sounds, visuals and the balance
Got hooked after a few minutes. Incredible game, just wow, I am speechless.
Idea an music are great. It took me a while to understand, that I could flip the pages of the list of blueprints, lol.
it wouldn't be so difficult to understand, if I had noticed the small icons in rolls, that I read about in instructions. This game needs fullscreen or alternatives of that, the origin window is too small. The idea, gameplay and also music are good though.
It's alchemy-like game, but with pinch of stories, which makes it really interesting, much more better than just alchemy games. The art and soundtrack are nice btw.
Great game, mechanic is cool. The only thing that irritates me is that the portal switches too fast. I wish there was a some sort of progress bar, that shows how soon it would switch, and the timer were longer.
I like the main hero as a character, I feel her mood in whole that story. I like the story, though
bill please. Very uplifting game, lmao
This game feels as a complited game. Music, graphics, balance - everything is perfect!
Good idea, but the gameplay requires to be really meticulous when you grow shrooms.
if pointer doesn't align with interactions try out another version, they have two of them. That helped me.
Speaking of the game, I haven't GOD the main mechanic, but GOD DAMN, the visuals are so hot!
This game is great, I do like it! I played 0.1.2 version
**Pros:**
Visual are insane, but need smooth animations, I think. It was difficult to understand the drag&drop mechanic The idea is also something new for me. I mean, tower defense with mining isn't innovative, but the thing that all the blocks get shifted is really cool. Thx for guides you left in menu, and hopefully, I can check them out during the game.
**Cons:**
Unfortunately, it didn't play the core gameplay loop: both timers were 0, and nothing happened, I could have dig the whole level, but dropped it. The scrolling camera is too fast. Maybe you make it with middle mouse button? It'd be cool, if I could just drag it by mouse.
It's a good game but I got little nausea after ~10 minutes playing.
Great polish game. Interesting thing.
Awesome game. Great work! The most replayable game
Damn, looks like I found the really best game of this jam ever.
Wow, perfectly balanced chill game! Music and graphics are top, and Idea is just a candy. Only one thing is little annoying is just a short wall shelf that can keep only 3 items - so player must often switch screen to collect ingredients
Good game, but I don't understand why my ship sank - I hired a sailor to draw water effectively, but storm was stronger.
Cute graphics and lovely sound with a touch... of French? Anyway it's a cool game.
Cute horror game. I saw some silent hill atmosphere.
Cute game. Funny plot and world setting. Crazy
lmao this is very hot game. Got fun, thank you!
Awesome game. Nice colors and the idea as board game for one player is very interesting.
Cute but little hard game. Quite often, the parcel address is hidden.
Crazy game. Enjoyed it!
I'm in love with music, but platformer to hard for snowflakes like me ❄️
This is a nice horror game. My lovely genre and a good realization.
Great graphics and fine idle mechanic. But I would like more items in a shop.
I failed to capture the essence of the game
I don't understand what happens on screen LoL. I even don't know how I reach the second level. But anyway visual and audio is really cool. I like it!
This is possibly the cutest game on LD 48. This project has awesome sound, easy controls and casual objective. That we need to relax.
Really cool Idea and realization. But I am very often confused about buttons.

da Vinci's WAR MACHINE by Fassenberg 2026-10-28T22:13:27Z ♥ 0
Fun and interesting upgrades. But when I get the tank I start snowballing really quick and the game stops to give challenge until the boss arrives. Bossess aiming felt a bit unfairly fast, though its hp was quite low, so it was annihilated in couple of seconds.
Trebuchet Golf by slay a stone 2026-10-28T22:01:16Z ♥ 0
Captivating game. Really nice difficulty progression. Challenging, but not pushing. Sometimes trebuche gets glitchy on launch after afk. Graphics could use some help, and it would be nice to have some background music and then you are good to release it. Overall the game is fun!
I Don't Even Knit, or Olde Castle by Chomby 2026-10-28T21:06:56Z ♥ 1
Good art style and platforming, I like it. Keep it up! Things to polish: the level design should be more spacious, so the character wouldn't hit their head against the ceiling every time, and it would also be nice to check that the character can't walk sideways, so their animation doesn't glitch. 👍
BIN.EXE by Marcus Otterstrom 2026-10-28T20:56:01Z ♥ 0
Easy to learn and hard to master, the balance of this game is such a nice touch! Chopped my arms off so they wouldn't move the platform where they shouldn't!!! 😠
Got my best time above 1 minute in the infinite level and rage-quit. The game is fun as hell! Nice job.
The Night Clerk by ShanzPro 2026-10-28T20:12:57Z ♥ 1
Only after the 4th attempt did I realize that the grayscale fragments of the video are actually hints about the anomaly. After that, the game becomes much less hectic. Such a cool entry!
Boo'x Office by Noah MAZARD 2026-10-28T19:19:56Z ♥ 2
I've noticed that the schedule and the missing reels are random when I start the new game. I feel like I've run into a soft lock from the get-go the first time I launched the game. I wasn't able to find the last reel, but the next run it was immediately there.
UPD. Okay, seems like you intentionally hide the 3rd scheduled reel from player, but I have no idea where to find or how to put smth instead of it. I've had 3 attempts and spent a lot of time figuring out how to play this game. I'm left frustrated, because I really like the background music, graphics and the entire vibe.
The Circular Arcade by loveapplegames 2026-10-24T22:29:25Z ♥ 0
level 1: my score is ~30 sec, is it a skill issue, or is the level infinite? (or both 😭 )
level 2: made it in 5:13. I started losing hope, man these circular mazes are insane!
level 3: score is 2:24, I wish I had ability to fire at enemies with L
level 4: this is the most unfair level due to rng. You literally have to predict future or be super evasive and be more than 1 line away from other cars
level 5: this one was way too easy, especially compared to others. I made for 0:22
Overall it gave me vibes of Super Hexagon, and level 5 reminded me of Resogun. Cool engine, cool ideas, I like it, but some levels are really difficult.
Insert the Floppy by Garaptic 2026-10-24T21:53:29Z ♥ 0
Good art, I like it. Speaking about procrastination - maybe try to team up with someone next time. It's much easier to find motivation from a friend than to dig yourself out alone.
Orpheus 0600 by AXLplosion 2026-10-24T21:21:43Z ♥ 1
The game is made to convey a special mood and it does it perfectly! The web version doesn't work for me (crushing my browser) and the standalone one was freezing sometime. The instructions were a bit unclear, but I finished the game. The ending is awesome!
Igknight II - The Last Stand by pickens-inc 2026-10-24T20:49:00Z ♥ 0
Interesting and fun game! Range enemies are pain in the a55. Is there a way to tune mouse sensitivity?
Please Insert Game Disk by Byte Bark 2026-10-24T20:27:44Z ♥ 0
oh wow, such a nostalgic experience! I like it. Died couple of times but still game wasn't a huge challenge. Balance is great. The only thing I'd want is a few more levels and more gameplay around each cartridge.
Stars and the Sea by sudocoffee 2026-10-24T14:23:26Z ♥ 1
Nailed it. I think, small stars should've been less attention-grabbing, maybe slowly fading away and reappearing in other places, just to show that they are not your markers. I like the music and game concept, but I feel that this game misses something, I don't know what exactly. Or maybe it's just this kind of game where you just sit and chill. You know it better than I do, it's your game. I hope you'll keep up the development, it's definitely something!
Road Rage by FunnyPumpkin 2026-10-24T10:56:52Z ♥ 0
Why did you opt out of humor category? I think it's gold. This game made me laugh by making fun of me. Probably because I didn't read the game description and rushed into playing it, thinking it was a simple racing game.

Dead Frequency by tinykidtoo 2026-10-23T23:27:09Z ♥ 0
agree with @bereg about monster
Sadly, it only has one level, but you made it solo, which is a big selling point. Impressive amount of work you've put in here. Though seriously, I wish it had more content. Don't ditch it, keep it up!
Fotoshu: Caught on Film by Aviv Levy 2026-10-23T12:41:13Z ♥ 2
I like this game, nice puzzle levels, I went through every of them. Game looks really polished. The only issue for me was a little bit of pixel-hunting in some puzzles. But overall the game is amazing, especially for a short jam!
Forgotten Device by beareye 2026-10-22T17:29:46Z ♥ 1
I like the mood and depth of this short plot! Graphics and camera are nice touch for the COMPO, really impressive. Level design could use some depth too: I'd show some blockers to players before they complete quest. I didn't know that my path needs to be cleared before radio told me that. But it would make much more sense to me, if I take antenna only after I saw that path is blocked. Overall it's awesome game!
THE LAST WORD by Chef 2026-10-21T21:06:42Z ♥ 1
Good game, nice visuals and music that never gets old. Definitely has a Papers Please vibe going on. The whole time I was playing I assumed the money piling up on the desk (why doesn't the janitor pocket it? haha) didn't affect anything, but turns out it seems to influence the ending. Not 100% sure though. The text in those cutscenes scrolls by really fast and I can't keep up with reading it. Reading the news entries is a bit inconvinient too. Other than that, super fun game! Really addictive. 🍦
Cheese Lamp by ronychh 2026-10-21T20:06:00Z ♥ 0
Hand-drawn project with genuinely well-made backgrounds, you can tell there's a lot of heart here. I did hit some rough spots though. If it weren't for @chef explaining things in their own words, I'd probably still be staring at the first location, since the hatch you need to climb into and its interact button are hiding past the edge of the screen and need spamming. The interactive notes close with a grey button in the top left, and if you don't know about it, good luck ever finding it, that's a hilarious little puzzle in itself lol. Still, there's clearly a lot of love in this, and I'd love to see the UI and pacing smoothed out.
Apteka by Eugenik 2026-10-21T19:55:29Z ♥ 3
Really enjoyed this one. It looks intimidating at first with its bulky inventory, but it's actually surprisingly intuitive once you get into it. I love the setup too, three days, a family waiting at home that you're working for, and ten customers a day. Some describe their illness in words, some hand you a prescription, and some just want to walk off with drugs without one, and you get three chances to make a mistake. Overall a complex, excellent project. My only suggestion would be to declutter the screen a bit, there's a lot of menus and active actions.
Scavenger Wraiths by iaselar 2026-10-21T19:51:26Z ♥ 0
Mechanically it's a pretty simple top-down game, and the loop is straightforward: grab scrap, haul it to the hatch, don't get caught by the hostile clouds. It plays smoothly and the environment is actually pretty engaging and not too samey. My main gripe is there's no real end goal, no upgrades, no way to spend what you've looted on the surface, it's just about racking up a bigger score. One thing I really gotta highlight is the music, it's nice and relaxed, doesn't get old, and works great in the background. Solid little game overall!
Rogue Cove by mechanicallife 2026-10-21T19:47:24Z ♥ 0
Nice tribute to the old-school dungeon crawlers. Controls are intuitive and smooth, and the key bindings are honestly great, super convenient. Enemies are well drawn and animated too. Only downsides for me were that I couldn't figure out how to go fullscreen, and I got stuck once moving between floors 1 and 2. Still a really solid little crawler!
Gadget-o-Rama by mobiledev 2026-10-21T19:43:38Z ♥ 1
Seems like a Pokemon-inspired game, and the pixel art is honestly the highlight for me, super detailed and genuinely beautiful. The controls were a bit unclear though, I kept pressing attack and nothing seemed to happen. There's also some imbalance with the gadgets, the heaviest one just physically can't dodge anything, and you can't pick another one (your opponents get several). Still, you can tell a lot of love went into the art!
HYPNAGOGIA FRONT by Elmalach 2026-10-21T19:39:29Z ♥ 1
Honestly kind of a mix between a visual novel and a walking simulator. If the setting's your thing, it'll probably click for you, and I did enjoy the walking-backwards mechanic, that's a neat touch. Not totally sure what the breathing mechanic is for though, since save points are spread around pretty generously. Not really my cup of tea, I wandered for a bit, but neither the story nor the narrative really grabbed me. Still gotta give it credit for being unusual and running smoothly. Glad I checked it out!
Textolite by perrarancino 2026-10-21T19:30:25Z ♥ 1
This is a great 2D action platformer, with progression and interesting bosses and enemies, upgrades, each one changes the hero visually and gives a solid boost to certain stats. Overall, an excellent game for the jam, one of the most polished and well-crafted ones I've seen, and seriously impressive for just a couple of days of work. Really nice job!!
The Animation Morgue by WeLoveGames 2026-10-21T19:26:14Z ♥ 0
Mechanically this one's pretty interesting, you move layers in a projector to change the size of objects on screen and shift them around to solve some really simple puzzles. It's fun and satisfying to mess with, and even though there's not much challenge, the core idea is really good. There are three endings, and two of the final ones aren't super clear (they're actually kinda understandable, just not explained). Still a neat concept,
Break the Gorilla by Salty_0racle4O4 2026-10-21T19:22:05Z ♥ 0
The idea of throwing your phone and trying to smash it is a fun concept, and the tools in the shop are a nice touch. Not sure if it's intended or a bug, but you can only use one single item per throw, and picking another instantly returns the phone to your hand lol.
LIDEC “4” by desid33 2026-10-21T19:18:34Z ♥ 0
I like the idea behind this one: you reveal a dark environment using a special active device, with two modes, a focused cluster of light and a wider area light, and you need to switch on 6 generators and escape. There's a monster too, but it's fairly easy to outsmart. The only downside is that the game is literally just floor, walls and ceiling, so it could use some environment, including for getting your bearings in the space. Still, the idea is relatively new and interesting, and I'm curious to see where it goes!
SKELETONS! G2G by Vinnnie 2026-10-21T19:13:07Z ♥ 1
This one really reminds me of Textorcist, and I mean that in a good way: you type in the words shown above the skeletons on a keypad phone to kill them and survive for a while. I like that there are three skeleton types, fire, ice and regular, with fire being a laser on the three nearest ones and ice being a stun and slow on all of them. Honestly, it's a fun and well-made clicker, I just wish there was a bit more variety to keep me coming back. Really nice work, and I'm curious to see where it goes next!
Rogue Battle Ships by StormRider 2026-10-21T19:08:25Z ♥ 0
I like this roguelike about ships: the controls are simple but not trivial, easy to learn and hard to master, and you pick a path and fight other ships. There are several enemy ship types, and every sunk ship gives resources you can spend in the hub on upgrades. There are a few upgrades, they're decent and offer some variety (a repair crew or a crew that charges the cannons faster at low health). There's also a reward system for each cleared node, a quick upgrade for that specific run. One thing I didn't quite get is the cells: whether I went to a search, escort or shop node, it was always a simple fight and a choice of the next branch. Still, a really enjoyable game, looking forward to seeing it grow!
KickBack by ElyaWithDashifts 2026-10-21T19:04:25Z ♥ 1
A surprisingly well-made boomer shooter. The animations are smooth and beautifully drawn, the weapons feel immersive with every shot, and the gameplay is varied with different challenges each wave, like shooting to the rhythm of the music, getting pulled toward the enemy with each shot, or a chance of the weapon jamming and dumping the whole magazine while spinning you around. The project is simply great. Really looking forward to what comes next!
My Rusty Giant by bereg 2026-10-21T18:59:50Z ♥ 0
I like the core idea: you run around collecting scrap metal and energy cells to keep a walking turret alive while it shoots at other turrets. The balance feels a bit off, and I couldn't find a button for upgrading the turret's turning speed (maybe it doesn't exist, though everything else has one). Running feels a little slow, and you have to go quite far from the robot for resources, which go in one unit at a time, and shields too (it would be handy to add all shields at once, especially when the robot is under fire). The game is genuinely fun, it just feels like it could use a bit more polish to be fully enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing where you take it!
Steel Tree by Awanami 2026-10-21T18:49:41Z ♥ 1
Quite an atmospheric game about the daily life of a radio operator simulator. Interacting with in-game items is a little awkward, and unfortunately I got stuck right at the part with the third cassette and the computer. The thing is, the game doesn't really explain how to do the decoding, so I clicked through a few commands and nothing happened. Still, I really enjoy the atmosphere and hope the decoding part gets a bit clearer. Keep up the development!
GOODBYE, LOCINERA by Gayane 2026-10-21T18:40:24Z ♥ 1
I found a fun little bug: grab the bananas, head to the cube beach, and the game decides to improvise. I jumped down, found a test field with some models, chatted with one of them, ended up back in the shop, and the game just locked up lol. Honestly, stumbling into a secret test area almost felt like a hidden feature. Keep up the development!
SCRAP RUNNERS by Kevin Meissner 2026-10-21T18:30:22Z ♥ 0
You walk around the location, pick up respawning items in houses and ruins, and that's the core loop. It's oddly absorbing, and the robot AI keeps things tense, since once they spot you it's challenging to get away. I like how the game looks too, with strong graphics, and the respawn system means you can take your time around the first hatch. One small suggestion: it would be nice to have a system that removes items you've already fully collected from the loot pool.
The Lost Rifleman by freamdev 2026-10-21T16:02:51Z ♥ 1
A neat little game made by one person. The gameplay loop is really simple: you move from campfire to campfire, dodging or fighting off ghosts and keeping an eye on the sanity bar. It's quite fun, dynamic, and refreshingly straightforward: light the fires, dodge, shoot. The audio is perfectly fine, with background music and decent sounds for shots and enemies. Overall, with more time and resources this could become a great game!!
To the Coast by Vandervas Generator 2026-10-21T15:56:17Z ♥ 1
The music is quite good! And good to see a Construct game here! Good job, man
The Liftman by ZeroX001 2026-10-21T15:49:38Z ♥ 0
This is a really good entry and a strong result for a short time. The elevator is a nice touch, though with very fast interaction the control logic can occasionally glitch. The shadows on the characters look a bit unusual, which slightly affects immersion, but overall it's an impressive piece of work.
