The artwork in this is awesome! I found it a bit confusing to play however...
Very impressive pixel artwork! I love the animations and a big fan of the dig ability:)
This is such a pretty game! I love the artwork, and found the game fun and relaxing :) nice work
Omg this is such a cute game! I love the art style and details to things like the animations. Eg I'm a fan of the little wiggle if the walrus, I feel like it makes them feel so much more alive :) nice work!
Have you tried hosting on itch? It's quite easy to set up. I'd suggest that for future jams
Wow I love the VFX and the way the signals is sent is quite satisfying:) nice one
Wow this is so polished! Great job :) I also kept watching :)
Wow this is so cool! Great work! I love the use of the different "echolocation signals"
Fun concept!
Hmm I had trouble running it..
Nice set of minigames! i see how mixed signals happens later on -- eg the hippo running into the non tnt and still blowing up :)
This is such a stunning game! here is my 2nd playthrough
https://youtu.be/5Nc5dR1f76A
Woa! this is so polished! Great work!
This was such a fun game, love the concept and execution:)
Wow, absolutely love there art and the thought provoking content :)
So pretty! Loved the art direction. I think if you want the player to have a chill experience, maybe some guide/compass after a while of them being stuck could be a nice feather to help nudge them towards the correct direction
I spammed that bbq sauce haha nice work on the game!
Woahhh that was fun! Creepy, but fun! Love the art, i think i would have found a map or a compas or something useful tho.
OOO i love me an idle game :) nice one!
Game looks interesting -- dont have a windows machine tho :( DO you have a youtube vid?
Hey! That was fun -- very satisfying to collect, especially after the x2 points :)
Oh so pretty!! I love the art
Im just amazed by the art! Its stunning!
Really cool concept! Very innovative :)
Wow! I love the art in this game, great work!
oh noooo we got squashed :) that was a cute game -- made me smile but also get rather frustrated with the fly. Well done!
Fun game! love command aspect of the game -- and that there is some proximity logic for which sheep obey the commands, that must have been interesting to code!
really cool game! loved the little dude, animations and SFX :)
Let there be ~~light~~ chaos. Fun idea and nice graphics :)
woah! pico-8 code looks funky!!
This was a powerful message. It the best interactive representation of grief and depression -- how it takes more effort to do the thing that is the 'correct' thing to do.
Really great job. I think it would be nice to share this even elsewhere -- more people should have the chance to see this and engage with it.
OMG someone got 1billion? thats insane, i just got like 80 lol
I think i need to try this again on my cell phone..
The minimalistic art style was awesome and idea of the game was a lot of fun! I loved the little critters' animations :)
Thanks for making this :)
Cool idea! wish there was a web build -- i dont have a windows machine :(
Fun game! It would be so cool to have had some lvl up features for the magnifying glass! Burn it alllll! Loved the handrawn art style :)
Loved the level design! Didnt even have to looko at the instructions, was able to just try out the levels and figure out what the critters do/work -- and your UI made that so clear :) Awesome work! Also love the game art and music :)
Such a beautiful game! And very fun mechanics -- nice work!
What an awesome puzzler! Incorporates the theme so well, love it!
Such a clever game!! I could totally see this also as a cool board game for 2 people!
The AI logic must have been very interesting!!
Such an adorable game! I initially was confused about how to 'attack' the rock, i thought placign my die on the board and ending the turn would suffice. Silly of me! I loved the art, and little details like the camera movement with the mouse :)
Clever idea! I liked the usage of the 2ndary smaller character to solve puzzles. I struggled a bit with one of the levels tho, my character kept getting stuck behing the ball.
Nice work! love the art and the gameplay was quite fun :)
uh oh -- seems like I just have a black screen?Screenshot 2024-10-08 at 9.32.34 PM.png
has the order of script executiono gotten messed up?
Really beautiful pixel art! Loved the background effect. Really liked the power up system and the chaos the follows past level 5 haha
Woooahh i wonder how the drawings are parsed! Is it some ML recognition?
This is such a neat and unique take on the theme! I love your little creatures :)
Cute game! intesting mechanics, im curious to see the code for recongnising the drawing shapes!
Your creatures are absolutely adorable! I wish that they were a bit bigger so I could see them!
The background ane enemy art styles did clash a bit with your creatures, but I understand that was just due to time constraints!
Nice game! i initially had some issues running it on my mac (something about the app being potentially unsafe). Rickt clicking and saying 'trust developer' seemed to do the trick. I liked the gameplay, took me a while to get the hang of, but wasfun once I did!
This game has by far my fav art from the enteries I've tried so far! I love the colorful designs and the hand-drawn style :)
i got a Naughty claus! haha! cool mini idle game :)
Really cool art and animations! love the dance the most haha!
Not my hand!! Cool game, beautiful art!
Cool game! I liked that the combos would take out additional bubbles that I placed nearby:)
The purple hats rekt me haha
From the screenshot it looks cool! I wish a web/mac build would have been possible, but i get that in these jams its hard to get a build out in general, let alone buils for multipled platforms!
Wow! this is impressive as heck! THe art and music are fantastic! I was wondering -- were the rythm components manually arranged? Or were they somehow procedurally generated? Eg how easy is it to add a new song?
Beautiful art! I didnt manage to get all 10 creatures, but i did get a few :)
Interesting concept! However, I initially struggled with getting the game to work on chrome.. has anyone else had this issue? Myabe i havent understood how to play it...
Nice! loved the art and loved the use of runes to generate 'new' monsters, it took me a while to get the hang of, but interesting concept!
Loved the graphics, animations, and the hecticness of this game! Btw I played this on my cell and it worked quite well!!
I think this would be fun to watch a bot play this as well -- could be like a little digital art piece, watching everything flow the way it's supposed to in the most efficient manner :)
This is a dope game!! I loved the mechanics and found this to be quite an original concept:)
Potential thought for expanding the idea: maybe after the level you can keep the survivors and upgrade them -- give them different abilities etc.
really fun game! This was quite the timesink for me :)
I did have some trouble getting started however -- found it tricky/confusing to understand how to get the items to move onto the conveyor belt at from the green tiles.
Side note: Woah! how did you manage to deploy the game on webgl?! I've struggled with deployments on pygame -- the best i've done is release pygames on pypi hahaha
This is so awesome!!! haha no way will i reach the top 10 highscores LOL
This could also be reall fun in like a 'relax' mode where the camera zooms out -- or even just if the game play area is infintely large -- could be a cool livestream where no-one even needs to play, just watch the lil guy meander thru space, accidentally getting combos just by existing! haha!
PS, what tool did you use for the leaderboards?
Beautiful visuals and really fun gameplay! Parts of it reminded me of death's door :)
At the very start after i burnt the first tree, i was confused why i couldnt burn the other nearby trees (i only later realised that it was cause they didnt have leaves).
I was quite grateful for the bonfire-respawns :) So even if the enemies were challenging at times, i knew that I would be able to respawn again.
I tried a few times to get a 'perfect' speedrun in (without dying) but didnt quite make it haha! I think this would be interesting to see what speedrun times for this game could indeed be!
Such a fun game! I initially was a bit confused with what I was supposed to do, but then got the hang of it after the first round!
Maybe include some icons/visual tutorial at the start of the game indicating what arrow key corresponds to what (i was initially pressing left/right thinking i was meant to move the character to the spot).
Cool game!! I found the action quite satisfying:) I also didn't have any issues with controls, even though I played in chrome... strange!
Cool game!! Btw I was able to play this on my cell quite well :) kindof like eyes spy! I reckon this could be fun also in like other environments, eg like a city, or smth. Nice!
Really funny game!! Nice pixel art :) I was initially perplexed that I wasn't able to fit all items at once, thought I was doing something wrong haha.
What an awesomely simple yet fun game! I was stuck on 'clearing space' for ageesss! Nice work!
REally beutiful game with funn mechanics!! LOVED the web-physics :D very satisfying to play
Cool game1 I liked the idea of 'timed prgramming', the players' choices seem confined to a 'limited space' :)
It would have been nice if the text animation could be a bit faster/skipped in the first level...
Additioally, at some points i thought the platforms were a part of the background, only until after i jumped on them:
Screen Shot 2023-10-03 at 6.59.00 pm.png
Really fun puzzle platfoermer tho!
Haha fun inventory management game! Got 76 points, glad I kept excalibur, should have used my potions more often! (Also liked the little messages from the devs 😄 )
Really fun game! Nice concept and STUNNING visuals! Was a bit confused by the beam power up.
Great job also on the leaderboard! Did you guys use plassion for it?
Woops -- should have read your note bout the bug!! Was fun tho -- loved the upgrades, felt like they made a solid difference :) Great jb with the SFX 😆
What a cute game!! Loved it, great work and nice incorporation of the theme! Cool to see that you took the dive and went to Godot head on for the jam!
Really georgeous game! I love the cards, and the interface, animations for the cards getting played and even the upgrades! Really appretiate that thje x2 sheild happens _after_ the +5 shield :D (or maybe was i just lucky?)
I did find that it was bit challenging to know what the new items in the garage would do: Screen Shot 2023-10-03 at 3.03.58 pm.png
Seemed like only _after_ i added the item could i figure out what the new associated cards would do.
great work! Loved it :D
This is so cool!! I did indeed have to make a Roblox account + install the app on my computer, but I loved the game!
In fact I think i ended up playing on a server with you for a bit! https://youtu.be/3YdZmMz1MgA
Im an astronomer, so I do really love physics-y games ❤️ Nice work!
omg lol stressful! But this was really fun, nice pixel art!
This is so cool! I love the difficulty and the art -- very polished!
This is so cool! Reminds me of the 2010's nitrome games :D
This is soooo pretty!! :D
Really fun! Thoughts on making the delivery/collection automatic (no need for pressing the 'A', just need to walk by the location)? Additional feature that could be fun would be an live opponent :) could also be fun to code a bot!
Neat! I'll use this to find the next set of game to look at :)
Had some issues running the game from the ludum dare page, but worked from itch: Screenshot from 2023-05-05 17-54-13.png
Really polihsed and pretty game! Im amazed that this was a compo game :D Really awesome stuff!
This is such an awesome game! I loved that its procedurally generated everytime, and that you've made an effort in making sure that at the start the correct resources are nearby. I unfortunately went bankrupt in all my 4 attempts haha.
It would be cool to be able to zoom out -- but maybe that'd make things too easy? Aside -- i think it would be cool to print out the tracks/map on game completion :D
nice game! I got stuck a few times near some of the obstacles. When i reached level 3 speed, coming head-on with an obstacle (i think some blue spikey shard) sent me flying above lol. Fun game!
Nice work! I liked the little pickle rick reference :)
"The king awakens!" Really pretty game and cool idea -- loved the tile concept of exploration and the minigames. I liked that the minigames had different difficulties and powerups beased on exploration :D Really cool stuff
Fun game! I wonder -- if you've coded this up with pygame, would it be possible to use pip to distribute the game as a pip package?
Unfortunately I was unable to run this hmmm
If you update the build id love to give it a try!
Very satisfying and relaxing game :) I loves the simplicity of the game, and loved the art + music. Altogether the game feels very polished and professional!
Really cool game!! I love the use of the webcam :)
Low-key reminds me of among us haha
Fun game! Btw the web link also works quite well on mobile!
Found it quite relaxing, however it was hard to find some constellations at times :)
This is such a well executed game! Love the old man and his sneaky ways hahahh
I had to restart once cause there was some bit of furniture exposed, but I managed to finish the game :) I'm sad that the old man went away in the last round
Ooft I got rekt hahaha overall a pretty cool game tho! Really nice visuals :) I wonder if you could get a AI bot to play it
Ps love the devlogs :)
Funny concept and cool adaptation of the theme!! It took me a while to get the hang of the controls, but found it to be quite rewarding and satisfying -- although like @kir-pow I agree it would be cool to get some more feedback on objectives. Really cool game overall!
This looks like a cool game! Very impressed with the art :)
Nice reto fun!I think one way to help with packaging might be pypi? Although not perfect, it will make the steps to play shorter (eg instead of having to download the script, and manually install pygame, this could all be bundled together)
A unique and beautiful game with some really cute visual elements :) the variety of both weapons and enemies made it quite enjoyable! I can totally see this being expanded by adding some kind of shop/upgrade system but it doesn't even need anything else as it stands :) awesome and impressive work!
Very relaxing and beautiful game :) I found the hedgehogs very cute 🥰
Really beautiful game! The aesthetics and music are both awesome! This would also make such a relaxing background/wallpaper :)
Uh oh, this might be a bug that you can fix in player settings, making the build compress as a gzip
Impressive work! I'm amazed by all that can be done by pygame :)
Fun game! I loved the art and the concept of the flowers + minigame. Are all the cacti named "Random Catus", or do they get special names after some criteria?
Here is my gameplay video: https://youtu.be/an7A9ToflP8
##### SOME MINOR FEEDBACK:
1. wasnt clear to me initially how to plant the cacti 2. Felt like there was a bit of lag (at least on webGL) for the timing game, making it a bit frustrating 3. Was confused why in the timing game some-times I would get failure even when I was dead-center in the colored zone: Screen Shot 2023-01-10 at 10.03.32 am.png 4. Some of the alignment minigames felt like the two stars werent centered properly... but maybe i missed something?
Really beautiful game, and fun to play! RE your pixel art course -- do you have some tuts vids on youtube? :)
Nice game! It was quite fun, and very impressive -- I wouldnt have been able to make something like this even if I had a month hahah
#### Some minor gameplay feedback:
Got initially stuck in the instructions menu on the itchio page: Screen Shot 2023-01-10 at 9.43.25 am.png
Had to re-load as I wasnt able to exit out -- maybe because i was pressing the wrong exit button?
Same issue with the shop.
Had a situation where the player character kept moving towards the right (even after I stopped pressing right on the keyboard), but this stopped once i fell into the pit.
Fun game! I liked the concept + art -- but i had a bit of trouble with the movement, it seems like the movement would "stick" sometimes/there was a delay in updating the player movement? Maybe this was intentional?
Beautiful game! I hadnt realised that the pesticide was bad until after my first playtrhough when i read the instructions haha -- i assumed harvesting humans == good
Lol my score doesnt quite come close to the high score ~ 800
Looks like a fun and very polished game! Unfortunately, i wasnt able to load it:
Screen Shot 2023-01-10 at 9.28.07 am.png
Made chrome crash + stop responding after the progress-bar reached mid-way. Has anyone else had this issue? Otherwise it might just be my 2014 Macbook calling it quits haha
Sidenote: I took a look at your git-repo -- Godot code looks quite clean!
Nice work! It really felt like i was having a convo with you haha
Really cool game! beautiful art :) Was a bit confused initially how to play haha
nice! My highest score was 108 :)
Really cool concept! I didnt make it past wave 4 but it was alot of fun :)
neat game! managed to last 6 days! what actually happens if you dont "feed her"?
Really fun game! I liked the detail put in -- eg the pulses of lines in the tiles is super cool! The UI and mechanics feel very polished, and the progression was interesting :)
I think i found a bug on the webGL version: when I walked into the big piles of trash, i got the funny dialog saying the trash was too much -- but then the "death" screen was a bit abrupt, and I was unable to leave without refreshing the page (image attached) Screen Shot 2022-04-04 at 4.36.14 pm.png
I also found it a bit tricky to determine where my projectiles were going to be launched, but maybe thats a feature to add a bit more challenge!!
All in all -- super cool :)
Beautiful game! I think I found a bug: I collected a few people into the ship, but then I was unable to climb the ladder/jump onto the ladder (I kept getting teleported to the right)!

lol this is such a meme! I love it!
This was such an adorable game to play :) Great work!
OMG THIS IS SO COOL!!! I had wanted to include either using a mic/webcam in my game, but pyaudio was a pain in the butt to create an EXE for (I used pygame)!!! Im so glad you've shared the src code for this, ill take a look at it :) Really awesome and impressive work! Maybe I should look at using gdscrpt for my next game jam :)
Really fun and funny game! I liked the hands-only FPS design :) Really impressive for a compo!!
Spooky! I like the simplistic gameplay elements and great aesthetics! Were all the assets made by your team? Really impressive modelling skills!
Wow super impressive and a lot of fun! Really beautiful game :)
Really fun gameplay!
fun game! i liked the fact that if you left even a bit of fire around, it would spread! kept me on my toed :) Really beautiful graphics as well.
One thing that I found slightly frustrating was the movement + aiming controls being on the same keys. Eg when I tried to shoot up, I would sometimes jump up instead.
Nice game! I was wondering: why didnt you add a webGL build?
Neat! this was quite complex!
This is such a fun and polished game! very impressed, and loved it :) already spent like 20 min playing haha
Nice game! but i feel as though I had no say in how the vehicle was going to be changed. in fact, it felt like even if I drove/dint drive, it wouldn't have made much of a difference?
Really cool game and wish i could have played more, but I found the controls really frustrating. Eg when the length was 2, me and my partner both found the first part of the cave kindof tough Screen Shot 2021-05-08 at 2.42.42 pm.png
Eventually when we made it to the dragon, we couldn't figure out how to actually stab it. Screen Shot 2021-05-08 at 2.45.41 pm.png
cute! however i found it a bit too easy :) Maybe make it a bit challenging at the start and allow the player to get upgrades with points etc
cool but tbh i didnt really understand what to do haha
lololol nice game! fertilisation took a while! although I didn't need all the upgrades
really awesome mechanics and beautiful! would love to see a tutorial about how you made this :)
Cute game! good job with the art :)
NICE! I really love the art, music and gameplay! Controlls are nice and intuitive, and the autoaim was a delight with the mouse :) Initially I was trying to go down and collect stuff, but quickly got rekt by the green guys. On my second attempt, I collected as many stones initially as I could before proceeding. That seemed to do the trick!
Nice game! I was a bit confused about the controls, eg didn't realise I had to click the green block to attack. Wasnt ever sure what exactly the two bars on the top of the screen were for.
Great game! id heard of this idea, but neer seen an interface to play :)
If you'd be able to randomly generate the levels thatd also be sick!
This was a great game :) is it possible to eat all the poo on the map?
PRETTYY. A bit dizzying tho
Would love to try this when a Mac build is available!
Seems cool and love the graphics and idea! however i had tough time playing the game tbh... like I kept throwing the baskets at them but nothing happened, the baskets just seemed to break.
Really intense start.... gosh. Controlls kindof confusing though, like it says he needs to breath, so I pressed on the air tube thing. And then charged up the defib half way and used it on him... but he keeps dying lol.
Awesome work! Got 102 as my best score I think! I liked how the random difficulty modifier stacked at the bottom :)
Cool game! Towards the end i just started spamming cause my typing is shit haha, eventually I got a black screen -- did I break the game? Screen Shot 2020-04-30 at 4.54.14 pm.png
BTW there was one more typing game made by @kythehuman that I've played this jam: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/all-caps-episode-1-the-incident-at-puppy-canyon
Thought you guys might be interested in checking it out :)
Ahhhh ! this is pretty cool! I like how there is a visual signifier on the screen telling you where the other flowers are that need watering :) Maybe add some pests that you can stop for a future version? And upgrades for your pesticide/water that you can buy when you sell flowers!
really awesome game! I love the talking sound sfx :) I did use the help of the walkthrough at somepoints to help figure out what to do next at some points :D
Really fun game :) i liked the graphics and the glowing effects used on the sprites. Good job!
This game is so relaxing and fun once you get the hang of it. (BTW I played it on my mac and had no issues with it in case you needed mac testers)
This game is a piece of art. It really reminds me of Hows moving castle :)
I really enjoyed this game! the art, music and difficulty progression kept it really interesting :) Havent played a TD game in a while!
LOVE THE BLOOM AND VISUAL EFFECTS :D
Interesting concept! This could be a fun mobile game once polished :)
Really cute game with awesome graphics :)
Nice work! Really cool concept :) It would be cool if you could incorporate some real astrophysics into this, and then this could be a super useful educational game! Eg the adding the lifecycles of stars, having some stars undergoing a supernovae and forming neutron stars/black holes etc :)
Amazing art! good work!
Initioally a bit confusing but I liked the physics :)
Really beutiful art! Good job :)
OMG THIS IS SO EVIL hahah good work!! I did not do very well to keep the patient alive.
Really cute game!
Haha funny concept :)
NIce work!
Hahah that was great! Meryl streep got me haha
Very sute sprites :) Is there a way we can get our character back in once they die?
NIce work!
Good job! I really like the concept of the game as well :)
Excited to try this out!
Omg love this game! Please make it on mobile!
Woaaahhhh what an awesome game! I am so thoroughly impressed with your work for a jam! Way to go!
Awesome game! Man I really had to grind to get 💯 but it was so much fun getting to that point! Really enjoyed the concept!
Wow what a fantastic idea! Really loved the game mechanics and concept!
What an awesome game! Really enjoyed it! Have you considered making it a mobile game? I think it'd do well!
Ahhh it's been a while since I've played a text adventure! Really enjoyed this! Very refreshing and loved the story! Have you considered making this like an Alexa or Google home voice app? I think it'd be really cool! You should do it!
Really awesome concept and nicely done! I found it a bit tough to aim. Have you considered making it a mobile game? I think it'd be fun!
Really awesome game! Very polished and fun to play! Highly recommend making it a mobile game!
Nicely done! I really enjoyed the concept and hope to see updates from this game!
Haha really enjoyed the concept! Good work!
Good job! Cool game!
Initially the controls confused me but then once I got the hand of it it became super fun! Have you considered making this a phone game using your phones accelerometer?
what an adorable (and beautiful) game! Very impressed by the graphics and gameplay! The chopping up of the cat to show segments was slightly creepy though but I enjoyed it haha
Looked really cool! Please let me know when you get it up -- would loe to try it out!
Really impressive work! I really enjoyed the concept but initially didnt quite understand the controls. Also, maybe make a web version for ease of access next time round?
really nice concept and amazing work for such a jam game!! Yeah as Notekri mentioned, a quick death affect would be cool! Also it would be nice to get a web build up!
really liked the view angle, and the fact that you can see further down! itd be so cool if the levels could be procedurally generated!
Very amazing graphics! such cool work in such a short time! I really enjoyed the fighting!
Really cool game! Love the music and the concept, and enemies! I found it a bit difficult to wear the tunic initially -- i hadnt realised I was supposed to break the box! hahah! Really enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed the game! Nice music! also like the floaty jump and the puzzles! :D
Really cool game! Love the graphics. I loved the movement of the player! And the concept of energy! You mentioned that you want to add to it -- what kind of things are you thinking of?
I feel as though this could be kindof like a rougelike shooter! and maybe the enemies dont even necessarily need to shoot at you, but if they just shoot things in general in the room, that might make it a little challenging (and potentially easier to code!)
Really looking forward to seeing what this becomes! LMK if you have any updates pls!
This is really neat! Im amazed at how polished this already is!
Had some trouble running the game -- sounds really cool! LMK if you get it up!
OMG I played it for like 20 min on and off while trying to read a journal article, and now that ive come here to rate the game you're telling me THAT YOU CAN UPGRADE ENEMIES??!??! This is awesome! I played only with the first enemy and was just upgrading my charater's attributes! Must go back and play with enemies!
Hey awsome animation and graphics!
I did notice the text being a little blurry and could always clearly see it. For eg: Screen Shot 2019-04-30 at 5.05.31 PM.png
Also, initially i died right after the first day, and had to refresh the page as the game was not restarting: Screen Shot 2019-04-30 at 5.06.11 PM.png
I really really enjoyed the fact that you programmed in the game of life with the plants!! Super cool work!
Hey I had an issue when trying to download the file:
Google Chrome blocks downloads Chrome automatically blocks harmful downloads that try to cause problems on your computer, like:
Giving you viruses Leaking your private data Changing your browser and computer settings Adding unwanted extensions or toolbars to your browser Why the download was blocked Your file download may have been blocked for one of two reasons:
We think it might be a malicious, unwanted, or uncommon file. Malicious: You tried downloading malware. Unwanted: You tried downloading a deceptive piece of software. This program, disguised as a helpful download, may actually make unexpected changes to your computer. Uncommon: You tried downloading an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous piece of software. We've found that the website you tried to download the file from has been known to distribute malware.
This is a cool concept -- like the mechanic that you cant use WASDm and that you have to time your clicks well to avoid the red dots. Initially I did not know what the red dots would do.
Interesting concept! The transition from the start was a bit slow -- took a while to restart once I died as well.
Hey! looks cool -- a tutorial would be very helpful!
Cool game!! Reminds me slightly of flappy birds! Got a high score of 404! I found a small bug when you restart the game -- it started with a negative score for me. Was this intended? game.png
Haha this is an awesome game! Love the dynamics and idea of the game itself. Managed to make it 10 miles without killiing everybody! Loved the captions over the dead as well and the faces JC made as I messed up :D
Was a bit confused how the 'Prayers' bar worked... it was something to do with the amount of control I had in the game I think but could not pinpoint exactly what was happening to it/how it was being spent.
Nice work!! Maybe add a short demo scene with on screen inscturctions -- I got confused initially about how to assign docs but it did make sense once I read the instructions lol
Cool game! Really amazing graphics for a compo! And fun too!
Some feedback: - more enemies might make it more interesting (although i get it -- time constraints) - one time an enemy spawned almost ontop of me, which was kindof strange, I was on the botton left corner of the map - The shooting animation was a little frustrating -- it would have been nice if it was a little quicker -- i kept getting nabbed by the critteres when I was trying to shoot them - It was easy to train the critters (they followed in a line) and there wasnt much of a reason not to train them (like if you start going in a circle they trail behind you). See image Screen Shot 2018-12-04 at 2.37.49 PM.png
- Noticed an off-by-one bug at the end (see screenshot) Screen Shot 2018-12-04 at 2.41.09 PM.png
Overall I really did enjoy the game! Really cool work!!
haha really cute game -- love the dialogue! Would love more levels :D Screen Shot 2018-12-04 at 2.32.27 PM.png
This is so amazing! Im just baffled by the fact that you made this for a compo! This is such a polished game! Its beautiful and a lot of fun, love the concept!
This is so cool! I love the concept and the gameplay! I like how the guys CANT be clustered together -- otherwise it would have been too easy. Really awesome!
Neat game! Good work! Really like the simplistic art style!
It took me a couple to figure out the game mechanics, thought that the people would open the doors if I left them at the doors. Then realized I had to break the doors lol
I was able to make it to a level where there were two tunnels, all seemed to be going well but then the game got over, not sure why? There was an explanation but that went away too quickly
Haha this is a cool game! It was a little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it it was fun! Maybe a small in game tutorial?
Really funny and cool!
WOAH! amzing artwork!! THis is so cool!! I really enjoyed the difficulty as well! :D
Initially thought the trampoline-like portals were the drop-offs... sacrificed many a cat to the trampoline before exploring and finding the drop off lol
Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 10.57.39 PM.png Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 10.57.10 PM.png
Now that ive come back to this page, i see that you have even shared a screenshot of the drop off here... Not sure how I missed that!
Fun game! Though!
Really cool game! Love the graphics and concept!
Really neat way of dealing with dialogue! And AMAZING graphics for compo! Really cool! Didnt quite understand the ending though lol
Cute game! Played it x2 to get a 10!
yoooooo
I love this game! Its such a neat idea!!
The levels are really well thought out and designed!
Would love more levels! After the Jam perhaps?
Hahah nice!! I had fun with this! Sadly neither of my 3 creations were deemed worthy.
So curious how you grade the sacrifices in the game! Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 10.30.58 PM.png Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 10.28.34 PM.png
Hey I really love the art! I dont quite get what the 'weight' is for or where I can use money/how to get money. This is really cool though!
Cool game! I had a tough time getting through the game -- i kept dying! Maybe a easier level to start? Love the art though :D
Cool game! A little frustrating initially but very satisfying when I actually got it lol
Amazing art and really funny to watch the little guys going flying! haha thanks
Sound like a cool game! I download the Mac version, but I got an exe file?
Reall cool!
LD60 — Old Tech (86)
Morse Strike by estelgames 2026-10-20T11:56:00Z ♥ 1
Haha, I genuinely did a double take seeing this 😅 I made DOT//DASH for LD59 — also a Morse-code shooter70031.gif
Curious if you'd come across it!
I really enjoyed your animated characters, tanks, and bomber plane! The upgrade system is a great addition too. Nice work!
weird gameboy game I found in the mountains by Enad96 2026-10-20T10:20:26Z ♥ 1
The whole “found a weird cartridge in the bush” setup is great haha. I love the muted colours and the little farmer. Mixing that innocent-looking farming game with hints that something isn't quite right is a really cool idea.
The INNOffice by NikitaStarostin 2026-10-20T10:19:30Z ♥ 1
YOOO EXIT 8!!! Making old office tech the things you're hunting for in an anomaly game is a cool take on the theme. I like the VHS look too, and that limbed creature in the doorway is properly creepy hahah Horror games are hard,, but you guys really did a great job.
BTW i really liked the red light -- it helped, and let me actaully get to the twist in the game that makes it different from exit 8.
Here is a playthrough vid in case its helpful for you guys: https://youtu.be/U25wqyvIJqA
It's a Pipe Dream by dracco_0n 2026-10-20T10:19:13Z ♥ 1
The artwork is lovely! All the pipes, paper notes and little capsules give the desk so much character. Trading objects across different centuries is a really fun idea too, especially swapping a player piano for a toothbrush :D
Old Dam Shift by Blus7 2026-10-20T10:19:02Z ♥ 1
That control panel looks great, all the little lamps and readouts make it feel properly old-school. Having to meet the power target while keeping the water level under control is a cool idea. Such an unusual job to make a game about!
TechTonic by Yifanf 2026-10-20T10:17:32Z ♥ 4
Love the character designs, especially the plague doctor! Pulling fighters from completely different centuries gives you such a fun mix of people. The colourful sprites against that grey living room look great too.
Mindscape by neolog 2026-10-20T10:16:51Z ♥ 2
You've nailed that old terminal look! The “CELL Labs loves you” welcome is already making me suspicious haha. Having to dig through someone else's messy computer is a great setup for a mystery.
Lensor by orpheus 2026-10-20T02:58:56Z ♥ 1
Love the style you've gone for here! It really reminds me of those old CD-ROM games, especially the gold-and-blue menus and chunky 3D clouds. The Egyptian upgrade icons are a nice touch too.
Unclaimed by ancooper 2026-10-20T02:57:57Z ♥ 1
Aw, a postal robot turning up for work and finding nobody there :( Really like that premise. Giving the old machines something useful to do again is a lovely idea for this theme.
Quiet Carriage by gamescodedogs 2026-10-20T02:57:03Z ♥ 1
I really enjoyed this! The train visuals are gorgeous, and the mechanical detail on the wheels and rods is impressive. It’s a super charming way to use the theme, and sorting the passengers into their preferred seats makes for a very sweet and relaxing experience.
WHACK-A-TONY: Super Platformer by Spaint 2026-10-20T02:55:42Z ♥ 1
Haha, a TV guy inside a TV, both called Tony. Love it. Whacking the set to help him jump is such a fun idea! The little notes stuck on the TV are a nice touch too.
UNCALLED FOR by EKLSN 2026-10-20T02:55:09Z ♥ 1
Such a cool idea for a puzzle game! Using the camera and gallery on an old phone to move things around is really inventive. Love the chunky phone design too, especially the Solar Eclipson name :D
BOGEY OR BANDIT by rekk1d 2026-10-20T02:54:17Z ♥ 1
Love the look of this! The green radar and chunky buttons really sell the old military console. Having to work out which blips are real with only a few decodes is a cool idea. Nice work!
Ghost in the Egg by Tanjou 2026-10-20T02:24:56Z ♥ 3
Great work! Love the aesthetics :D Love the blade-runner ref as well 😉
Oops! No Floor! by Serendibity Efreet 2026-10-20T01:48:30Z ♥ 1
'Duderpants vs Mr Crankypants' is a great way to announce a snowball duel. I like the cool blue checkerboard and simple blocky characters, and having the snowballs remove the floor makes the arena part of the joke!
Stonepunked by WormKingBoo 2026-10-20T01:48:06Z ♥ 1
The pixel-art character has loads of personality - I especially like the big sweep of hair and the oversized club. Going all the way back to whacking bugs with a stick is a funny, very literal take on Old Tech, and the warm earthy palette suits it nicely!
HOLLERITH by pankun 2026-10-20T01:47:29Z ♥ 1
A census machine is an unusual thing to build a game around! I like the punch-card sorting idea.
The Last Chance by Mugule 2026-10-20T01:47:02Z ♥ 1
Guiding family and friends to safety through Morse code gives the old walkie-talkie a really meaningful role, but man i sucked lol only got like 22 drones on my second attempt
Cold Call by WALK 2026-10-20T01:46:11Z ♥ 1
Using phone numbers as little discoveries around the world is a lovely idea for an adventure. Im a big fan of the old school phone rotation animation :)
The game art really reminds me of the paranoid android radiohead music vid!

Mr. Havoc in The Web by sasik 2026-10-20T01:45:37Z ♥ 2
Havoc is a very cute little troublemaker. I love the old desktop window sitting inside a chunky CRT, with a tiny character and a full-sized door sharing the screen - it gives the computer-hopping premise lots of personality!
Medieval Hotline by sanechekz 2026-10-20T01:44:55Z ♥ 1
A medieval kingdom relying on a telephone switchboard is a wonderfully silly idea. The hand-drawn map is lovely, especially the dragon peeking out of its cave, and making each connection shift the kingdom's resources gives the operator a real role in the world!
Old World Skies by IndigoWolf 2026-10-20T01:43:59Z ♥ 0
Sending a modern Typhoon back to 1940 is a fun way to make the contrast between old and new technology central to the premise. I like the alternate-history setup, and taking on aircraft movement and enemy flying AI in a compo is an ambitious choice!
Punch Card 0 by AppleJollyGarden 2026-10-20T01:43:41Z ♥ 1
The gloomy, PS1-era grainy workroom gives those ordinary punch cards a wonderfully sinister feel. I like the idea of a whole society sending cards to friends and family, then making the operator responsible for spotting something corrupted among them. I got kindof some matrix+cyberpunk vibes from this. Nice work!
Machinerra by NoNumbersGames 2026-10-20T01:43:16Z ♥ 2
A zeppelin full of scavenging robots is such a cool setting. I like that our technology is the ancient stuff to them!
Don't pick up the phone by KseniaCecalin 2026-10-20T01:43:00Z ♥ 2
That worn rotary phone in the dark room is a great horror image. Making an everyday call the doorway into Lera and Max's nightmare fits the theme nicely, and the option to answer with a joke is a fun contrast to all that dread!
Scrap Treasure by Pazio di Dante 2026-10-20T01:42:39Z ♥ 1
Taking old gadgets apart and turning their pieces into new circuits is a great use of the theme. I like that the workshop can grow from hands-on repairs into a little robot-run operation! You've gotten so many nice details down -- like the little animations of the wires are so cute! Great job.
Old Man Playing Old Game by NTMalichi 2026-10-20T01:42:13Z ♥ 1
The OLDBOY console and that huge hovering finger are such a funny way to frame a platformer. I really like the idea of returning to the childhood game you never finished, and using the console's power switch to restart is a lovely detail for Old Tech!
Rogue Battle Ships by StormRider 2026-10-20T01:23:57Z ♥ 2
This was such a blast! One suggestion -- maybe instead of space to shoot once charged, just releasing the mouse click? Also i wish that there was an alternative for the right mouse (right mouse is a bit of a pain for macbooks 😅 )
FINGERTRICK by alex-lumi 2026-10-20T01:21:50Z ♥ 2
Hell. yes. This was such a blast to play!! Great job with the animations + art in general!

Your kangaroo-dragon creatures are stuff that fuels nightmares. hahaha! great work :)
Steel Tree by Awanami 2026-10-20T01:12:43Z ♥ 1
well executed! The vibes were quite spooky and eerie. I didnt know of the "Dyatlov pass" before this! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident] is well worth a visit
1999.12.xx by anima_animus049 2026-10-20T01:00:51Z ♥ 1
I really like the ordinary school-day setting with these strange little mysteries mixed in. The cassette and the town bell are good hooks! The little bedroom with the old CRT is lovely too, it suits the setting really well.
Star Corp by pe4Q07 2026-10-20T01:00:13Z ♥ 2
The old computer glowing in that deep blue basement makes a lovely image. I like the mix of a very physical, chunky keyboard with the mysterious idea of an arcade powered by starry energy - a fun magical twist on the theme! Is this "Q" I also ket thinking it was 0.
I think the only thing id like different is a faster startup -- right now it takes quite some time to get going. But nice work!

Anti Virus by Halogen 2026-10-20T00:59:37Z ♥ 0
Having to become the antivirus because the old computer's protection has expired is a fun premise. The chunky pixels and beige CRT suit it nicely, and the spreading black corruption gives that colourful little screen a clear threat!
Press Any Key! by Helgust 2026-10-20T00:58:45Z ♥ 1
A system administrator trying to hold an office together just before Y2K is a great setup for Old Tech. The detailed art looks lovely :) great work! I wonder what "SGBCALC" actaully does lol consulting for tech?
Old Games by klengh 2026-10-20T00:58:11Z ♥ 1
The rounded beige monitor and bright purple floppy make a lovely little scene. I like the quiet idea of rediscovering a home computer in the attic and simply being allowed to explore - a nice nostalgic fit for Old Tech!
EDIT: ok, is there some hidden easter egg?! Ive tried multiple times, messing with the blue "backup" floppy disk, and keep getting the corrupted message... Then the zappy gun is interactive as well. very sus!
Mixtape Maker by Mamboman 2026-10-20T00:57:36Z ♥ 1
The radio and chunky cassette buttons look great! Making a mixtape straight off the radio is a fun idea.
Wave 86 by Yanot Studio 2026-10-20T00:56:35Z ♥ 1
Running a 1986 radio station with a collection of cassettes is a charming take on Old Tech. I like that the tapes are there to answer listeners' requests - it gives all that analog equipment a nice human connection!
Screenshot 2026-10-21 at 1.58.18 pm.png
Managed to get rating of ~700 :)
G.O.D. by OttoBroccoli 2026-10-20T00:56:11Z ♥ 0
Love the tiny village inside the machine! The chunky beige terminals and green lighting look great together.
Spirit Level by Dark Arts and Sciences 2026-10-20T00:55:21Z ♥ 0
A spirit board speaking through a pile of 1996 clip-art CDs is a wonderfully strange idea. Screenshot 2026-10-21 at 1.52.09 pm.png
I was a bit confused by what i was meant to do here...
BELLDIVERS by Bardia 2026-10-20T00:54:57Z ♥ 3
The bulky diving suits and little pools of green light make a lovely, eerie image. Old diving equipment is a great fit for a treasure hunt, and having a mysterious Lady Darington directing everyone from afar adds a fun story hook! I didnt manage to play with coop features, im so keen to try your GOTY edition lol (voice chat is crazy i cant even imagine how complex thatd be to set up)
Ancient Core by yupaz 2026-10-20T00:54:20Z ♥ 1
An ancient power source that's still unstable is a nice hook for the theme. I like the contrast between the ruined stone structures and the purple machinery, and a seismic scepter sounds like a fitting tool for uncovering something buried!
Krong by bigwhiteshogun 2026-10-20T00:53:45Z ♥ 4
Krong inventing the wheel and immediately using it for aerial tricks is a brilliant bit of caveman logic. The little pixel-art rider balancing on his rock is very charming, and 'TO BE EVEN COOLER' is an excellent name for a button!
Fotoshu: Caught on Film by Aviv Levy 2026-10-20T00:53:11Z ♥ 4
Love the faded-photo look and the little film canister!
Robot Workshop by GADJAKOSKI 2026-10-20T00:52:36Z ♥ 3
Making the crowd's excitement matter more than which robot wins is a fun twist on a junkyard arena. I like the real steal vibe, and love the janky robots :D
Scrap Tinkerer by Jhonny111 2026-10-20T00:51:53Z ♥ 0
My poor mouse. I clicked, and clicked, and made such little progress. I wish the game was a bit faster with the upgrdes.

SaveClimber by Saurow 2026-10-20T00:50:09Z ♥ 0
A corrupted file trying to save itself to a disk is a cute take on the theme.. Unfortunately, i had some trouble running the game. Maybe its just my PC? Do you think you can make a web build as well?
Crusader's Wrath by Fatality67 2026-10-20T00:49:26Z ♥ 2
The bright holy effects against that purple-and-red underworld look fantastic. Finding a mysterious CD in the far future is a fun excuse for a retro adventure, and the little knight has a great silhouette!
Falling Behind by kazuo256 2026-10-20T00:48:41Z ♥ 5
Having new building technology replace the old while you're still trying to finish a monument is a clever take on the theme. I like the sunny colours and those chunky, slightly wonky ruins on the cover - ancient investors sound like demanding clients!
Pearishable by Fis 2026-10-20T00:46:48Z ♥ 2
The cream-and-burgundy presentation is gorgeous, especially the little illustrated fruit barrels and decorative borders. Automating a family orchard to keep it alive gives the old machinery a lovely purpose. Also, excellent title pun!
Night Shift by RyzKu 2026-10-20T00:45:56Z ♥ 1
Only being able to see the thing through the CRT is a creepy idea. I like the green lighting around the desk too!
Anachrocode by Lopstar_VI 2026-10-20T00:44:14Z ♥ 2
A forgotten 90s science facility is a great home for a cipher mystery. I like the combination of old websites, letters to an unknown scientist and actual courier deliveries - it gives the time-travel premise a nice physical side.
Nimkip and the Quest to Build an Airship by T C 2026-10-20T00:43:41Z ♥ 2
I like the idea of everyone in the town pitching in to build an airship!
Keep It Cool by Nyla J 2026-10-20T00:43:06Z ♥ 1
An icebox is such a good choice for Old Tech! Keeping the food cold while the ice itself keeps melting is a neat little puzzle. I like the added chaos of one rotten item spoiling the food around it too.
Victorian Space Program by lizelive 2026-10-20T00:42:12Z ♥ 0
Launching yourself at the Moon with a giant cannon is such a fun idea. Very Jules Verne :D
Totally Accurate Studio Recording Simulator by ThomasTheGameEngine 2026-10-20T00:41:38Z ♥ 1
The big tape reels, glowing needle meters and chunky mixing desk look great together. Keeping a band session alive with questionable analog gear is a funny, very fitting use of Old Tech!
Dad's Old PC by ghost-in-the-toast 2026-10-20T00:40:52Z ♥ 1
Man, the music in this is actually really amazing I think my fav was the "Dangerous code" track :)
the ambience recording -- is that just street noise in the background? Its eerie as fuck haha
Clockwork Blue by squirrelsoft 2026-10-20T00:39:48Z ♥ 0
Clockmaking is a great choice for Old Tech, and those odd little clocks have plenty of character. I like the idea of earning your keep by figuring out what all their mysterious cranks and buttons do!
Plug and Pray by Kyle Farwell 2026-10-20T00:38:16Z ♥ 1
The fake Gelato hardware family is such a fun bit of worldbuilding. I love the matching green consoles and the idea of a link cable letting old game systems interfere with reality - that is a wonderfully strange use of the theme!
Here is a gameplay vid: https://youtu.be/pKEQGV_R97U
Gosh, i really did find it tricky to initially just even start the game! but the actual mechanic was kindof fun (i did find the fighting game a bit tricky tho)
Manymancer by torcado 2026-10-20T00:37:11Z ♥ 0
That little wizard hat on the cover is adorable :D Love the purple colours too.
Obsolete Absolute by skigfx 2026-10-20T00:36:10Z ♥ 2
The pixel art is lovely, and Prometheus giving a caveman an invention machine is a great setup. I like how replacing your inventions turns your own upgrades into old tech. Really neat way to work the theme into the progression!
Clam Hunters by Maakole 2026-10-20T00:27:43Z ♥ 2
Those little otters carrying enormous stones are adorable! I love the pink character sprites against the soft turquoise water. Helping them get their clams is such a sweet, simple premise, and the oversized rocks give them loads of personality.
Bunker-88 by CyanRoke 2026-10-20T00:27:16Z ♥ 2
An abandoned bunker is a nice setting for this theme, and being locked in by a friend's prank gives the escape-room premise a funny personal twist. Definitely a friendship to reconsider once you get out! Congratulations on your first game jam.
Denshobato ni Tensei shita Ken 2 (Pal version) by Crak 2026-10-20T00:26:46Z ♥ 0
A city going back to relying on pigeons is a wonderfully silly take on Old Tech! The orange-purple sunset over the chunky city buildings looks lovely too. I like that Kurt can help people or just go and fly through a donut - excellent pigeon priorities.
The Base for Old Creations by alaah 2026-10-20T00:26:02Z ♥ 0
Those angular red mountains under the heavy grey sky look striking. The very simple colours give the landscape a lonely, otherworldly feel - a great visual introduction to a surreal little adventure.

ANACHRONIX by Kiddoo 2026-10-20T00:24:14Z ♥ 1
Changing what kids learn by messing with old inventions is a funny idea!
Boo'x Office by Noah MAZARD 2026-10-20T00:23:52Z ♥ 4
An old cinema where changing the film reels might be a matter of life and death is a great setup! I love the little translucent ghosts and the film-strip title treatment. The projectionist job gives the old technology a really natural place in the premise.
Old tech for old Folk by MrF1rst 2026-10-20T00:23:33Z ♥ 1
'Assemble your grandpa' is a brilliant pitch! Swapping Victorian prosthetics to work your way into the aristocracy is such a funny use of Old Tech. The aged newspaper title and parchment-style UI suit that wonderfully odd idea really well.
Frumpkin: Lock n' Splode by maximevincent 2026-10-20T00:23:09Z ♥ 3
Those glowing pumpkin faces look great against the purple sky! I like the idea of starting right beside the exit, then having to head into the maze for the keys. Bit of a tease :D
Time Traveler by Wanabi 2026-10-20T00:22:39Z ♥ 1
I like the idea of taking ordinary stuff into the future and having it become valuable antiques!
Why isn't This Working? by _radiolaria 2026-10-20T00:22:20Z ♥ 5
Helping grandma get the TV working before her season finale is such a funny, relatable take on Old Tech. The wood-panelled television and chunky dials look great, and that frantic message from grandma gives the whole idea loads of character!
Now Showing a Stranger by ThanatosIsANoob 2026-10-20T00:22:01Z ♥ 1
I really like the old TV framing, especially the chunky knobs and the note stuck to it. The simple grey scenes suit the story well too. Adapting The Stranger with different choices and endings is an interesting idea for a jam!
Noisy Monsters by Esther128 2026-10-20T00:17:04Z ♥ 2
The recording-room pixel art looks lovely, especially the light coming through the window! The little band introduction is cute too.
The Machine by Ydindamin 2026-10-20T00:16:40Z ♥ 2
Scavenging strange analog parts to build a mysterious machine is a cool way to use Old Tech. The wasteland setting makes those old bits of hardware feel like lost treasures - I like that sense of mystery around what they might become! Im a big fan of the ape-out aesthetics :)
Rise from the Heap by ewpratten 2026-10-20T00:16:18Z ♥ 1
Finding meaning after becoming obsolete is a really lovely angle on Old Tech. I love the little monitor-headed character and the illustrated heaps of discarded electronics. I did find the game a bit hard lol -- man these rats are vicious!... I didnt manage to finish the game 😢 Was the art style inspired by cult of lamb? im a big fan of your choice to go 2.5d :)
House of Deprecation by kr4ft3r 2026-10-20T00:11:11Z ♥ 1
That opening line about the house craving emotion, sound and light is a great horror hook. The figure half-hidden in the doorway looks wonderfully unsettling too!
Polder by Tesseract 2026-10-20T00:10:45Z ♥ 1
Land reclamation is such an interesting choice for Old Tech! Building dikes to protect one little smiley face is a lovely premise. The 'lose after winning' bonus achievement made me smile too.
Agressive Tendencies by TheMiningBoyAlpha 2026-10-20T00:10:26Z ♥ 1
Making the TV's dodgy RF connection part of the challenge is a clever take on Old Tech! I love the idea of having to wrestle with the television as well as the game inside it.

The artwork looks lovely - especially the bright red against the grey-blue ruins. A little delivery robot still doing its job after the end of the world is such a sweet, sad premise!

I love the pixel art of all the old electronics! The chunky laptops and cassette players are a lovely match for the theme. Nice work!

The green lighting and huge piles of scrap look great! The little robot has loads of character too. Nice fit for the theme.

What a clever game!! Man the ships starting moving too fast for me. I intially thought that some flags were foreign countries and were hence hostile.

Nice work! I really enjoyed the puzzles :) I wonder if the UI could be simplified a bit to help focus the players? Screenshot 2026-10-20 at 12.44.04 pm.png
There is a lot of text for the player. Most of the text ends up being ignored because there is so much i think.

Very impressive! My compo work always ends up looking quite meger, this is so amazingly fleshed out for the music, art and gameplay!
I work in astro -- I think this game could be so cool as an eductational outreach tool! I wonder if it would be possible to draw/show an HR diagram, and show the track of the star's life :)
