LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Legacy Survivors by quill18 2022-04-04T23:21:52Z

Sound effects are the best. Reminds me of realm of the made god.

Possum Blitz by LeviDSmith 2022-04-04T18:45:02Z

Very easy to get into and plays nicely. Honk scared me at first. Survived a good bit then got splatted. When I first saw the photo I thought it was going to be a frogger game and it kinda is except you are always in the road.

Great!

Worm Food by Genpaku 2022-04-04T14:30:24Z

The graphics are good on this one. The theme is correct here our wrist muscles will tire out before long. As far as gameplay goes there isn't much more than pressing the spacebar.

I really am impressed with the graphics. I'm a 2d only type of person, but maybe I can try out some 3d.

What tools are you using?

Bat Room by UnluckyNinja 2022-04-05T20:41:20Z

The graphics were nice. I like the fact that you have a level selector and the concept is pretty easy to grasp.

Game About Trying to Gain More Time In A Time Cave by HacksawUnit 2022-04-04T13:39:15Z

I like the two jump styles. This game is definitely a fun game. I'm going to bookmark for later.

THE BEARD by danvil 2022-04-04T13:48:48Z

Luckily for us we don't grow that fast. Definitely something I've never done before. Feels like a wario ware game. Which isn't bad.

The game runs a bit quick for me to get in the swing of things.

However, once I figured it out I was able to survive a bit. Note the bottom right corner is the "STYLE" try to match it.

Salary Zombies by Scrawny 2022-04-04T17:59:32Z

It really does fit the them. You will lose in this game... eventually. Very good. I like that you can destroy the obstacles with the shoot action.

Crash Override by DanC2236 2022-04-04T18:16:52Z

It progresses a bit fast and it a bit unclear at first what to do. Eventually you get the hang of it.

Engineer's Last Stand by shp 2022-04-04T14:56:37Z

Wow! Very good! I liked this one a lot. The graphics were pretty sweet. What did you use to make the 3d models?

Merge Getaway by glitchman 2022-04-04T18:20:09Z

This game could easily sit on a smartphone and be a huge time waster. Very good.

Super Crusher Fighters by Vectrex28 2022-04-04T14:34:30Z

Place Crates Wisely has some sort of teleporter bug on the 2nd teleport? or was it the third. Anyways When I moved left out of the teleporter it kept teleporting me back.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T13:50:06Z

@genpaku Which operating system are you on?

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T14:01:14Z

@genpaku @vectrex28 I've reuploaded to itch.io with the dll. Can you try again and let me know if it works?

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T14:06:32Z

@genpaku @vectrex28

I removed my path to mingw and it notified me of the two dlls that were missing. I added those to the root directory of the zip.

- libgcc_s_seh-1.dll - libstdc++-6.dll

And now it works. Enjoy!

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T14:12:21Z

@genpaku Thank you for looking into that. I'm troubleshooting now. If I find a solution I will ping you again.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T14:25:06Z

@genpaku thank you. Per your feedback. I've adjusted the sound volume a lot. Turns out I had my volume way low on my PC.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T14:44:00Z

@eli-haun Did you have a screenshot? I'm wondering if the browser is triggering that just because it is a zip file.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T16:34:58Z

I wanted to add more weapons, powerups, and upgrades. However, I ran out of time :smile: !

But more importantly, I wanted to add a leaderboard cause it favors this type of game. Keeping track of your best times and scores.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T17:38:11Z

@charlesschar They do spawn from top and bottom. Their spawner starts at about 40 seconds into it.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T17:38:26Z

Added the web version here: https://garegames.com/games/ld50/game.html

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T17:41:03Z

@quinn-patrick I'm thinking about using this as a foundation for a bigger project.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-04T17:41:36Z

@eli-haun I've got a web version up that you can play on since the download route didn't work well for you.

Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-05T13:36:20Z

@sivarde I made a web version if you would like to try again.

Timeflight Alpha by Quinn_Patrick 2022-04-05T20:44:48Z

Nice. This was immediately fun. Good job!

Good Boy eats the treat. by RobbzenOne 2022-04-06T19:17:36Z

@tankou That was funny. Game is pretty good too. Took a little bit to figure out the balance of the jump. Very good.

Great Escape by Martinek 2022-04-04T18:27:23Z

I feel good when I capture 3 at the same time. The music is wonky kinda like the socks. I'm wondering why they are running away. Good to have options menu to control the music volume.

The Final Day by Very Bad Bunny Studio 2022-04-06T18:59:41Z

I was impressed with the graphics. I like playing these type of games. Reminds me a bit of buried bones.

Earth's Last Stand by Junklab 2022-04-04T00:46:00Z

How do I rate game?

Earth's Last Stand by Junklab 2022-04-04T13:40:45Z

I liked it. The graphics were good and the game very simple.

LD58 — Collector

Manually counted Reference GC by sebbernery 2025-10-06T17:11:22Z

Neat concept. Programming in C is easy. Big memory big prizes. I love it!

Good game. Thank you.

Keeper of Artifacts by ping78 2025-10-13T17:27:08Z

Great work! I wanted to keep playing.

Grand Collector by Alex Mulkerrin 2025-10-05T23:06:08Z

Pretty good. Was able to beat it pretty quick. Great work!

Bibli-otter-phy by Mathstr0fficial 2025-10-06T17:07:53Z

The web game didn't work. I was able to swim, but could not collect anything the X and C keys didn't do anything.

Dragon Hoard by pres2300 2025-10-07T14:09:09Z

Wonderful. Great work on getting it done on time. I liked that I could bring my gold back to the center.

Collector's Curse by Memel06 2025-10-06T13:35:12Z

Great music. Art looks good. I noticed that the textures seems to gap a little on web.

Good work.

Clockwork Collector by Jiri Hysek 2025-10-06T14:54:08Z

Great concept. Very good. Puzzles keep getting harder and new concepts introduced.

La kolektanto by island-jam-2-group-3 2025-10-06T16:54:58Z

722 points. I like the combination of collecting and selling before the currency swaps.

The Crossing by IndigoWolf 2025-10-08T17:26:45Z

Definitely felt like frogger. Happy to see a different take on it.

Flight Terminal Assistant by Benjamin Gare 2025-10-08T23:23:39Z

@notime4games I was a little ambitious with this game and ran out of time to get all of it done. I was actually in the process of writing code to make sure there were enough flights if you did it right, but ran out of time.

I plan on working on this game more and bring it to steam.

Flight Terminal Assistant by Benjamin Gare 2025-10-08T23:25:04Z

@torte478 Thank you boss man. I've learned a lot from Ryan: https://www.rfleury.com/p/untangling-lifetimes-the-arena-allocator

as well as Fabian : https://fabiensanglard.net/c/

They both are wonderful resources. I dropped OOP because it didn't help me much. (I've done OOP and still do it for professional work 13+ years.)

Flight Terminal Assistant by Benjamin Gare 2025-10-08T23:25:56Z

@pres2300 Yep, a little bit of that inspired it. I plan on leaning a lot more into the computer aspect of the game when I publish to steam.

Flight Terminal Assistant by Benjamin Gare 2025-10-17T18:40:19Z

@david-sheffield @alex-mulkerrin @threeli @island-jam-2-group-3 @indigowolf @bearcage @pres2300 @torte478 @eugenik @grid96 @cogcomp @huihang @iovorobiev @yibirabbit007

I'm excited to announce that I now have a steam store page live!!!

Wishlist now and when the final game is released you will know! And I hope you will enjoy it.

Predincament by Threeli 2025-10-06T13:58:05Z

I wasn't able to beat it. I really liked all the detail put into it. Eyes moving, the dialog sound. Random text.

Great work

1 of 8,031,810,176 by torte478 2025-10-08T17:41:48Z

Imagine doing this manually. Thank you for the rocket.

I don't care who the IRS sends by BlueDandelion 2025-10-13T20:50:24Z

This is a great idea. Definitely could play a full version of it and enjoy it a lot.

Crazy Trashy by bearcage 2025-10-08T17:34:46Z

Great work! GTA2 is a great game.

Out Of Energy by Custodi 2025-10-06T16:51:15Z

I was able to get to stage 2. I then got dead cause I got too greedy. I like the music and the art. Good job.

Computer Virus by Lunaria Rava 2025-10-06T14:02:07Z

It was short, but it was fun. I really wanted to see the image at the end. Happy with what it was.

HUNTBORN by lazycoffeepanda 2025-10-06T13:44:22Z

Great work! I'm impressed with how much you were able to get done. Inventory, Item Use, Crafting, Vampire Survivors like and a set of monsters. Ambitious for a LD.

Great work. I'm sure you sharpened your skills a lot on this one.

Numismatic by David Sheffield 2025-10-08T17:22:48Z

I highly recommend turning this into a full game. Very good. I wanted to keep going.
