LD51 — Every 10 seconds

The Jabberwocky's Labyrinth by Frederika 2022-10-09T02:18:38Z

I was strangely scared of the jabberwocky. I didn't feel like I needed the candles and was able to get to the exit by going around them though. It was fun to finish! Most LD games I feel like I bounce off of before winning, so that was nice. Good work!

Artillery Strike Simulator by Yaroslav Kravtsov 2022-10-04T02:42:02Z

Hey, thanks for building this. We thought it was very well done. Your statement and reasoning is noble and appreciated. Slava Ukraini :)

The Sandwicher by Antti Haavikko 2022-10-05T12:37:51Z

Outstanding! Your level of polish is impressive.

Love is Legal: Speed Dating For Criminals by Krasimir Balchev 2022-10-13T14:44:03Z

Great art style and cool idea! I got burned bad but still enjoyed it.

Coffee Rush by Trusty 2022-10-11T18:38:55Z

Nice! Moving the camera in a bit would be a big help, but it was fun!

Gagaku by LoicLeGrosFrere 2022-10-08T21:23:15Z

Excellent concept and even a good tutorial!

Loved this! Super funny and charming.

>One question: how did you come up with this wacky idea? :D

My daughter just came up with the song one day and we end up singing it whenever we go for a hike. I wanted to make a game around it and... well... here you go.

>Have been singing for a while. Send help

Mission accomplished :)

> was expecting a rick-roll in the end, to be honest :id:

ANIMAL HOLE by ben_throop 2022-10-11T11:48:35Z

> I don’t really know what to say, but I completed the game and have the song stuck in my head now

You win!

EPOCH by Wouter52 2022-10-05T12:42:38Z

Great aesthetic, awesome theme use. I liked the atmosphere of this. The changing maze was a nice twist!

Really dug it!

10 second to Shelter by Frankey333 2022-10-09T00:41:32Z

Great artwork and a nice pixel style! It took me a minute to figure out but was pretty compelling once I did. I realized I could go to a building besides the shelter, but then being in it wasn't safe. Made sense but it was a bit discouraging as I couldn't see how I would ever progress. Felt like just back and forth to the shelter forever? But I am sure there is a way! Just wasn't feeling in sight. Overall though great work!

Diagonally by PartySquadMember 2022-10-05T12:32:25Z

Nice job getting climbing working!

📺 You Call The Shots! by Choo 2022-10-05T14:07:34Z

I LOVED THIS. It's like Dragon's Lair but fun. I didn't do well but I didn't care. I press F to Pay Respects in your general direction!

The Great Escape by amarokczukay 2022-10-07T13:08:44Z

Great hook! I am a bad baby.

Esgobert's Escapade by Martoow 2022-10-04T02:23:06Z

Hey I'd like to check this out but it gave a "Failed to read the 'serviceWorker'" error. If you get it fixed drop a reply so I can try it! Good luck!

Paddle Swap Arcanoid by LordSaber 2022-10-07T13:01:26Z

Nice implementation of a brick breaker! You could do a lot with the simultaneous horizontal/vertical paddles even outside of the 10s theme. Appreciate the in-browser game right on LDJam too!

Time control in 10s! by Eager 2022-10-11T12:44:00Z

Starts out great and the mechanic is intriguing! However I really couldn't grok what was going on for some reason. I was looking at the ticking up clock and thinking my character would be at the same position when the clock reversed, but he wasn't. Eventually I just went for the key and got it, but I didn't really understand. Then I got stuck in the water. A lot of potential here! I also really appreciated how the music was handled - the reversing as well as the muffled filter when in the cave. Good atmosphere.

Escape From Paradox Place by Voidwave 2022-10-05T21:03:14Z

Completed the level! It was frantic and I liked it.

Bless the Last Ones by Demigiant 2022-10-05T01:23:12Z

I really liked your game! I had never seen anything like it until this point. Great work.
