The game looks great! Too bad there are no sounds. The controls are a little strange, took me some time to get used to. A little bit too floaty, like when I mashed the arrow right key I could get supersonic! Haha ๐
Damn, this hit deep. You embraced the limitations and got out maximum! Very well done. ๐
Cute game, very innovative! I like it! ๐คฉ
Interesting concept. The game itself felt a bit blunt โ I honestly had no idea what was happening, so I just ended up clicking around randomly ๐
What actually caught my attention the most was that you mentioned all the art was made by AI. That made me curious to play, just to see how consistent the visuals would look. Iโd love to know what tools and prompts you used for it.
That said, I feel like relying on AI art mightโve taken some attention away from your own design and mechanics. Still, itโs an intriguing experiment ๐
This looks wonderful but unfortunately I can't play it on Mac. ๐ฅ
This game is so cuuute! Very well done! ๐ Edit: oops I broke the subtitles by alt-tabbing to a different tab and coming back.
Too bad it's windows only. ๐
Cool idea โ itโs a solid start! ๐ The game does feel a bit barebones and unfinished right now, but whatโs there already works nicely. I think adding a few more mechanics or layers of depth would make it much more engaging.
I really love the hand animation though โ it feels super smooth ๐ Aiming was a bit tricky for me, since the arrows didnโt seem to fly exactly where I was pointing, but still, great foundation to build on! ๐ฏ

Unfortunately I think I broke it and I did not figure out what to do. ๐
Wow, Iโm genuinely blown away by the quality here. This is such a well-made, polished game โ everything just clicks ๐ I had a lot of fun playing and got totally into it, trying hard to beat it. I eventually lost around the 5th level, but it was a great ride.
Youโve got something really solid here โ definitely worth polishing further. Great job! ๐ฎ๐ฅ
Thereโs a small bug โ if you hover near the top of a creatureโs head, the tooltip keeps popping in and out.
That aside, I really appreciate the fast-forward button; it makes the pacing feel much better. This is a super polished game overall ๐ The art is beautiful, the sounds fit perfectly, and the whole thing feels cohesive.
I didnโt have the patience to finish it all though ๐ โ maybe if it were a bit shorter for the jam (around 5 minutes of playtime is usually a sweet spot). Still, really solid work! ๐ฎโจ
So like others have said, the game gets too easy once you realize you shouldnโt upgrade the souls and should just keep shooting. At first, I understood it differently โ I thought you only got the souls by touching them and converting them directly, and that shooting just killed them without giving you the soul. I actually think that could be an easy fix โ it would force the player to choose between staying safe and shooting, or risking it to get closer and capture the souls.
That said, youโd probably need to reduce the number of enemies, because when there were too many, it was impossible to get close without instantly dying.
But overall, I really enjoyed it. The pixel art looks great and the soundtrack is an absolute banger ๐ถ๐ฅ Itโs amazing that you managed to pull this off for the compo โ and seeing you used Ableton and Arturia plugins made me smile. Beautiful work! ๐
Good job, it's a nice game. ๐ I did not finish it entirely but I collected a ton of candies. I love that the player's head makes a proper halloween light! Nice detail.
A little feedback: I think you should increase the gravity because right now the player feels too floaty. Also the camera controls are a bit messy now. You should pivot the camera around the character when moving the mouse up and down, and not just rotate the camera itself.
Really cute game, I think you nailed the chill atmosphere. I collected almost all bugs on the first train! ๐
Cool game! I think I need to look into that Pico-8 for the next jam... ๐ค
The pause menu is super nice! Hah, nice little game, although I just kept pressing 7 directly and that's it I guess. ๐ค But the graphics are really nice. Maybe it you choose a key randomly and the player had to press that to make the next platform grow by one cube?
Lol ๐ช
CleanShot 2025-04-18 at 15.34.03@2x.png
Super challenging but also very rewarding!
Coool game! I almost got to the top but some alien jumped from the edge of the screen and got me! ๐
Very cool game and very well executed! ๐ I would just add some sort of indicator when a farmer is about to shoot. Also aiming with the shovel was hard because when I got too close to a farmer, I could not hit them. ๐
The simplest idea, well executed, wins. ๐
Great game but a little too long and difficult I think. But the idea is very well executed.
CleanShot 2025-04-11 at 18.31.10@2x.png
Really cool little game and I think you executed the idea really well. ๐
Interesting idea. Some sounds and/or music would help the atmosphere I think. The jump is super glitchy as others have said, and honestly I did not really feel the need to press the space bar any time at all.
Fantastic atmosphere! I just wish there were some sort of checkpoints so I wouldn't have to restart the whole game when I fall.
Whoa! I did not have the patience to actually finish the whole game, but I really enjoyed how you implemented the platformer. The graphics are nice and the music fits the game very well. ๐
Simple fun game. ๐
Super nice cozy game, great atmosphere! There you go, I made your day. ๐
Just like others have said. I was curious, enjoyed the graphics, sounds, and atmosphere. But I just had no idea what to do so I eventually just gave up. ๐คท
Very nice and simple idea! Very well executed, good job. ๐น
Haha that was a lot of fun! Such a nice and simple game, great job.
Great idea that not all creatures are bad! I was playing with a touchpad and that was terrifying haha. ๐
CleanShot 2024-10-12 at 19.18.19@2x.png
Oh I was really hoping to find something at the far left end! Quick feedback - I did not really like that the mouse was hidden, it was a little difficult to orient myself when I could not see any pointer.
No Mac or HTML build. ๐ฅ
Wow, incredible work, I had a lot of fun playing! The game gets pretty hard pretty quickly, especially on a touchpad lol. Very nice entry, great job!
CleanShot 2024-10-10 at 14.25.54@2x.png
Yay I did it! Cool little game.
Haha, the most random game I played in this jam. ๐
Cozy and nice game. ๐ My only issue was that every time I clicked on a button in the UI, I would start moving the camera again.
Very cute game, the graphics are amazing! Some 8bit sound effects would fit the theme a lot, too. Anyway, I had a lot of fun.
I had a great time playing this and figuring out the interactions. Great idea! The charming cute graphics are just the best. โญ๏ธ
Nice little game but the car is super difficult to control, especially when it gets up to speed, and the timers are super tight.
It has promise. ๐ A little difficult to play on the touchpad, I would increase the clickable areas on resources so they are easier to gather. Fun!
Honestly, I did not understand what to do and could not even get through the very first level. No matter what I did, I always lost. ๐
Cool game! ๐ BTW how did you get Godot to run in HTML? Mine just refuses to work (Godot 4 that is)...
CleanShot 2022-10-18 at 10.33.45@2x.png
Unfortunately I only saw this in the HTML version.
It's a really cool game! Just a little too easy to get stuck in a wall ๐
CleanShot 2022-10-13 at 09.25.42@2x.png
It took me a while to figure out what to do. I got stuck on this, two boxes went away and then no new box arrived anymore. So I at least placed the items on the conveyor for the lady to take them ๐ฌ
CleanShot 2022-10-09 at 20.39.47@2x.png
Nice little game ๐ At first I had trouble understanding what are the costs of buttons so I just smashed keys randomly until something was built ๐
CleanShot 2022-10-09 at 20.30.58@2x.png
Very well made and polished game!
neovim! <3 but no Mac version... :'(
It's a nice little game. Initially I was greeted with a heavy tutorial which I though I understood. But when I closed it I did not really manage to understand how to gather resources. I was building towers and randomly clicking on the asteroids. Sometimes the drones went to get the asteroid, sometimes they did not. Not really sure why. Eventually all my towers were destroyed and the enemy ships overwhelmed the base.
Cannot run this on Mac ๐ข
Fun little game. Congrats on making a game with Godot! It's a lovely engine and I also love using it for Ludum Dare! ๐ This time I even tried 3D and still can recommend it ๐
Very cute game and, well, what an emotional journey!
There's no way to play this on Mac. The link you state is for all platforms only contains an EXE ๐
Such a beautiful and polished game, with a unique game mechanic as well. What a little masterpiece! BTW I love your commit history ๐
Nice ๐ But I agree with others, it was hard to keep the beaver on a button once the submarine starts moving. Amazing graphics and sound!
Too bad there's no MacOS or HTML version ๐ฅ
It took me a while to figure out the rules. Great game! Simple and fun. I only found one downside โ the whole game is played with a mouse, I would appreciate if I could also click in the menu instead of having to press ENTER.
Nice game but very challenging! The achievements are the best part of the game. I played a little and still don't know how to survive longer than a minute or two.
This is a really good game! Did you get inspired by Kerbal Space Program, btw? ๐ The only problem which made the play harder for me is that sometimes the controles were mirrored for some reason.
Haha! I actually made a game in a similar theme, you also harvest and sell your own body parts! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/self-surgeon
Nice game. The best part, of course, is the story behind the scenes. The combat is not that great and I just avoided enemies instead. When I got the choice to loose a leg or all my money, I selected money and it displayed an error ๐ I gues you weren't expecting that...
Cool! Looks good, music is great, gameplay is smooth but repetitive after a while. Good entry ๐
Interesting idea for the current theme. It's sad you did not finish this, it could have been a great card game.
When I started the game the first time it froze and did not load. Second time fixed it. The controls are really bad but the levels themselves look terrific.
Well, the game looks and sound good. But I just did not have any fun with it. The monologues are too long, the questions are repeated... I like how it's made and polished, it's just not fun.
So I trusted you and turned off all antivirus measures. But this error pops up.
Are there any enemies?
Evermind... found one. The camera is too close.

What a lovely day! What a lovely kingdom! Looks like..... <48 chickens just ramble over the poor farmer while searching for more eggs...>
I had a lot of fun finding the eggs. Feels like Easter Egg hunt. I frequently got stuck in dialogs and could not finish a single request. First I feared that I would lose my chicken when they get stuck somewhere but I found I could just draw the screen and handle it that way.
First of all, I had to download an auto-clicker just for this game ๐
With that out of the way, I was just about to make a screenshot of my "industrialization" (all available spots replaced by buildings) and place the first diamond hut when this happened:

I got to a point where I always started with these 4 cards ๐ I like the game, it looks very well polished. There's just missing variety in cards and, more importantly, enemies.
I honestly came here because of the cover image ๐ but the links don't work
I also use Unity + Aseprite, great choice! ๐ The game is very hard but looks good. I like both graphics and the simple music. ๐ค I think I have to also start using Bosca Ceoil some day.
Oh...

Knights killed my entire village... How do I even defend against them?
I found out that I spend a significant portion of the game hunting for elderly people and sacrificing them before they die. ๐
The graphics look very impressive. I love the occasional cutscenes/images that appear in important moments. You could make the grass and tries slightly less saturated to make it easier to distinguish enemies and walls in the level.
Very minimalistic, but when it's used, it fits the situation very well.
I could not even get past the first forest. The second blue guy just always kills me!
Great game! I like the story and the gameplay. I just didn't see much of the game because of hard enemies.
There is a potential but the title screen bug makes it very hard to enjoy the game. The interface itself is clean and animated, good job!
You could a few screenshots and description to both this page the Itch page.
> Freshly stored in the players balls...
๐ค Hmmm
Would you be able to make an OSX version? Otherwise I can't play but the game looks cool! ๐
Looks cool. Too bad you did not make an OSX export.
I would like to play this game, however, you forgot to export the game for **OSX** it seems. ๐ฅ The Mac link takes me to the Itch page, which contains a single download for all platforms. However, when I unzip it, there's only **.exe** file and no executable for OSX. Could you please fix that?
Awesome graphics! I thought I was totally screwed and then the "You survived" screen popped up ๐
Looks cute! Unfortunatelly I did not have enough patience to get through the third level (with the elevator).
Great game, really well polished. +1
Cool style. Great game :) although I found myself only using the lunge.
Nice graphics but the background music gets irritating after a while.
I wish I could make graphics like this. Awesome game!
My score: 95. I had a blast playing this game! Perfect!
This is the best game. Period.
The bard is the best part :D Awesome game!
Interesting idea. First game I played that wasn't about killing the player. Nice!
I like how trees catch on fire, nice small detail. Nice little game you have there!
The music is kind of annoying and I felt there was not enough gameplay. It was also confusing for me, I didn't really know what to do besides pulling the level and clicking on cities.
Awesome transitions, animations and cutscenes! :D Even your voice :P. But the music...
The game has a very nice graphics and sounds. I like the concept and gameplay mechanics of the game. But... it is HARD... Still a good game.
This was made in 3 days??? Oh my god, this is a great game!
I love games like this, great job. However, after a couple of minutes playing, the game becomes laggy and eats a lot of cpu. Not sure what's behind that.
It took me a while to figure it out, but good solid gameplay! I made a lot of money >:).
Awesome game! I also like the silence (=sound design :P). It's a lot of fun.
That is really cute!
A nice and relaxing game. Great work!
Muhahaha, so much fun. I like the effects.
I got 1458 souls.
Nice concept, well executed.
Baaaah, dieee tanks! <camera shifts> Whoa, didn't expect that one coming. Baaaaaaah, hahahahahahaa!
Nice game. I got the logic after about 3-4 rooms and managed to finish it. Nice graphics too!
The game is promising, but movement is really tough to control.
The sound is not that good. Also there's no real goal, just avoiding stuff, which was not that much fun for me. Graphics are okay.
Really cool game. Just one minor thing. You could have made the ships coming from both directions. Other than that, I enjoyed it :).
Cool concept, too bad you could not finish it.
Awesome intro, awesome humor! Great gameplay, graphics, sound... I can't find anything bad about the game :P.
Great aesthetics and mood. The sounds add to that too. However, I came to the arena some other way the enemies did not start spawning. So at first I didn't know what to do (and walked through those houses).
So from a gameplay perspective, it's OK. From aesthetics, it is freaking awesome!
"Stop right there criminal scum!" :D :D
What a lovely graphics and music! I at first could not interact with the old man, but I restarted and everything is good now.
I saw a water pit. And I fell into it...
Killing all this animals :(. I do feel like a monster.
One issue though. Not all the sprites have the same pixels per units ratio - some are more detailed that others.
I just fell though a ground :O.
Hmmm, so that was a hole.
The game would benefit from a sprint button :P.
The first boss just stood next to me and could not damage me :(.
I won't spoil the rest, but I love the game!
Pretty cool game, I like the aesthetics. Solid game mechanics. Nice entry.
Awesome game, the animation is really great. I love the read sound :D.
Also, I'm not sure this it the way to walk: http://imgur.com/xn5sYPp ^_^
Awesome first game! Keep it up. The graphics are nice, sound effects are great. Also I like that you have just 1 health, makes the game harder.
Took me a while to figure out what to do. But the sound when you finish a level is hilarious!
Awesome graphics and sound effects!
Oh my god! I love the game. It's a shame that no sounds, but still cool.
I love the graphics and style. The water looks really cool, unless you enter it :P.
The UI looks and works nice.
So I'm punching this small tree with my hatchet, and it breaks and a bunny spawns inside it and keeps flying in the air :D.
So I keep collecting stuff and my inventory gets full. I almost died of hunger because I could not make arrows or a weapon (full inventory). Also the arrows seem to pass through the animal and not do anything...
I can't kill anything...
I just found out there a sprint button!
OK, I'm done. Cool game!
Interesting idea. The controls are a bit weird and it's hard to tell when you're about to collide with a ship, so I just kept jamming the spacebar and that helped :P. The sound is cool and creepy, and I think you good the mood of the game very well done. Thumbs up ;)
The embedded version doesn't work for me (chrome console: "Refused to display 'https://www.dropbox.com/s/funxinz8bh9r8wf/New%20Folder.html?dl=0' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.")
Anyway, the game looks nice, I like the style and the isometric view. But it would really need some sound... Also, the controls are a bit weird, but I got used to them. The text disappears too fast, I could not read what it said. And I'm not sure if that is intended, but the particles seem to go in the opposite direction?
Cool game! I like the graphics, effects and physics, but the sound is not that good. Overall, simple idea and well executed.
Cool idea, maybe a little too easy, but otherwise cool :)
Haha, I like it :P
Download link says that the folder is empty...
Arrows work but using W and S doesn't work for me. I guess that may be an issue on my side, but I have no idea :(. No error in the console either.

Cool game! Just the right length for a jam, I managed to actually solve the case! Nice elephant in the room reference haha. ๐ I found a few smaller bugs while playing but nothing serious, the game is really well done. I love the character drawings. Music is also nice. Dialogs are great. The mechanic with the camera is simple but works really well. Good job!
Nightguard by Parxer 2026-10-26T14:25:34Z ♥ 1
Haha our entries are indeed very similar! Unfortunately I could not play your game for long. I tried in the browser. There's no fullscreen button so the game view was super small. Most importantly, you don't lock the cursor in the middle, so I could not aim. And when my cursor left the game's viewport, it froze. But it looked like it had a ton of potential and what I did see looked great!

Nice game you made. I did enjoy the initial levels, however, then I got stuck on the first level with the signals and I gave up. My brain is still too exhausted from the jam looks like. The art is nice, gameplay works great. The music is nice but then it gets repetitive really fast. I also found this little but in your font rendering:

Thanks to you, I have now played my first vampire survivors-like game heh! I played all 3 games and all of them are really well made, great polish, ideas, well executed, including transitions, effects, numbers... There's a lot here and I have nothing negative to say.
Great job!
Counterweight by Mmm1008fm 2026-10-19T11:37:17Z ♥ 1
The visuals and the sounds are amazing. The game has great coherent atmosphere. The gameplay is also interesting and unique. Unfortunately, there's a lot happening on the screen at a time and sometimes I was overwhelmed, sometimes I felt like randomly pressing buttons and the game was playing itself. I did manage to go through 3 levels... I think? At that point it looked like new mechanics were thrown in randomly and game was progressing on its own and I had no idea what was happening. ๐ But still, it was a really enjoyable experience.
Stardust by Gevernus 2026-10-19T11:12:21Z ♥ 1
Spore in space ๐.
I really like how this plays out. It's juicy, gives great feedback, plays really well. I was curious how you made it so took a peek into your source code. So, not ALL sounds are synthesised, just the music. Sound effects are normal mp3s. The art is very interesting, and how it is layered. I'm curious how did you make that? It's really cool how it is all layered in the game and looks so good! If I had one critique: the UI looks like quite standard "AI design" I would say.
