LD59 — Signal (20)

Jim's Quest for Birthday present by Sobigdrasil 2026-04-24T10:58:04Z ♥ 2

Awesome artstyle and such a vibe! Really nice incremental game too, very animal crossing! My main complaint, much like in animal crossing, is that I wanted more variation in the main task in the game. Digging up stuff was always fun, but it feels like you could easily add another layer of complexity to make it way more engaging. For a jam game though, this is very impressive and such a nice entry. Wish you good luck!

Signal Weave by alexhonor 2026-04-22T12:39:00Z ♥ 1

Sick! I loved the great tours you had to go on to truly maximize profits. My orange guys went to every corner of the universe.

Desktop Jar by ranejeb 2026-04-22T10:24:24Z ♥ 1

Didn't get it before reading the comments, but having an idler that responds to player activity when in the background is genius! Well done!

SignalGuesser by Triastase 2026-04-21T20:25:08Z ♥ 1

Really cool game, though the signal fades so quick I've barely halfway written something before it's gone. That turns it into more of a memory game than anything else. I played a few rounds, but only scored 100% when the graphs were exceedingly simple, like tan(x). Great visuals by the way!

Hive and Honey Horticulture by Sarah 2026-04-21T20:13:01Z ♥ 2

This was really great, and sooo, sooo polished. What do you mean I can pick the colors of the walls and floor? What do you mean there's so many upgrades that you have to scroll? The feedback I have is too much to expect from a jam game, but I found it tedious when I wanted to buy several pots or flowers at once. I also wish there was a way to sell several items at once. Lastly I found the button for Ms. Beehive to always be in the way.

I could really see this being a mobile game that would do well. Well done!

ACEspionage by LetsSnack 2026-04-21T19:48:10Z ♥ 3

Really well done, and extremely polished! The alternating turns were sick! I did spend a while trying to understand what "Send" and "Receive" meant, but it was intuitive once I got it. Cool game!

Radio Head by Maksim Terskov 2026-04-21T19:36:37Z ♥ 5

Really nice, well polished and fun! Two pain points: I wish the day didn't reset to the start each time I lost, and I don't understand the decision to hide the shredder. Both critiques don't matter much when assessing the entire game though. The atmosphere was fantastic. I loved the little clips that played, and the voice acting was perfect. Really cool game, I'm impressed!

Operation Alien Translation by Sheepolution 2026-04-21T19:26:52Z ♥ 3

Absolutely incredible! I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm trying to critique it but I actually kind find any faults, it delivers on its idea so well! I guess I'd have wanted sound when the guy types?

Farewell by Termegus 2026-04-21T17:08:48Z ♥ 1

When I saw that this was an incremental game, I didn't expect to stick with it, but the vibes just dragged me in. The fact that the fireworks keep crashing low is also great to retain players, as it makes it sooo satisfying when the perfect launch finally comes. Great job!!

Trail Signal by uvwar 2026-04-21T17:00:19Z ♥ 2

Really really cool! I didn't really expect much based on the art, but the sounds way exceeded my expectations! Super well done!

Hold The Signal by Dywanix 2026-04-21T16:50:34Z ♥ 1

I couldn't place another tower even after multiple rounds. Are there any controls i'm missing? I'll hold my rating until I know

Signals of God by Geeni 2026-04-21T16:45:21Z ♥ 1

This is so good, I'm so impressed. I adore the world you created, the atmosphere is so incredibly strong. Really well done.

Hello? Hello!? You've got no signal there! by rainot 2026-04-21T16:33:12Z ♥ 1

Really cool! The static effect on the voice was really effective, but the way you implied static on the subtitles really impressed me. Mega creative, it really felt like i was reading staticy text.

The "story" was really funny. I'm out here dodging boar-hunters and the actual rain using information relayed through a friend's "Find my phone"?? Genius!

I had a lot of fun playing this one, well done! Wish you good luck!

Beecon by Soleil 2026-04-21T16:25:35Z ♥ 1

Great graphics, soundtrack and vibes, and cool puzzles! Really well done! There were some pain points:

Sometimes I pressed an arrow key and had to finish a random dance, making sure not to move away. In the beginning I also misunderstood the position of the bees, thinking they were one tile diagonally further up. I saw the dropshadow at some point, but I wish it was easier to see.

Wish you good luck!

Squeaking For Love by Crak 2026-04-21T16:13:15Z ♥ 6

This is so good i hate it so much. And it's so polished! A less appealing game would not get me to moan to attract owls, but I'm so happy you did!

Alien Registry by ipomelo 2026-04-21T16:07:53Z ♥ 3

This was so nice! Oozing personality from every part of the game. The robot walk being stuttery? The shader on the X-Ray? This is the kinda polish only heard of in legends! Really enjoyed my time with this one!

RedFlag:SOS by ReiMi 2026-04-21T13:52:01Z ♥ 2

Great and really funny concept! I enjoyed it all the way through. And oh god it's gorgeous. Even the pause menu has incredible personality. Really well done!

Some pain points: I didn't quite get how to get the waiter's attention at first, so when I'd finally written SOS, i just kinda sat around. The mechanic with her looking away could also use some extra player feedback, so we understand that it has a mechanical impact. Stuff that feels painfully obvious to the creators tends to be missed! Sometimes I dropped fries only to see that they neeearly matched with the intended shape, but not completely. I think the fry placement could use some work, as that part of the game feels a little tedious.

You should be really happy with the submission! Such a polished and interesting game in such a small timeframe is no small feat!

LD54 — Limited Space (17)

Going Up by Human Writes Code 2023-10-07T09:25:30Z ♥ 2

This is really funny! Great game! I love the artstyle, and the voice acting is perfect. Also really liked that characters changed poses when you picked them up. I'd like to second frogmans reply about highlighting the squares, or simply making the characters more blocky so they more obviously fill the squares. Tall guy is the worst offender here. At some points I didn't notice that a square was empty, so I was stuck for a bit. Also, making the characters snap to the middle of one of their "blocks" instead of the sprite might make it easier to place them. All in all a really great entry!

Shrinking Space by Ruben Rosenmeyer 2023-10-02T22:00:40Z ♥ 1

I got a highscore of 1920! Wahoo! I like the game, and it 100% fits the theme to a tee! I have some feedback: The color scheme looks a bit confused - Using several high saturation colors will tend to do that. Having some calmer colors might offset that. You also kinda just wait for death in the last 20 seconds or so. Spawning more rings during the game might be a solution, but there's likely better ways too. Well done and good luck!

Ship of Theseus by teafish 2023-10-02T21:54:23Z ♥ 0

Could you upload the game as a zip file? Many won't bother to install a 7z unzipper when games are this plentiful (me included) but i'd love to try the game

Snow Rose by Shiivers 2023-10-02T21:50:02Z ♥ 1

Could you also upload the game as a zip file? I don't have win rar installed, so I can't extract the game

The Crater Village Game by September-XYZX 2023-10-02T21:36:47Z ♥ 1

I loved the X/O system you included! The coinflip adds randomness to solo play in a way that The Quiet Year lacked for me. I'll try it out when I can, this looks super cool!

Bottle Royale by Nales 2023-10-02T21:24:59Z ♥ 1

Nicely done! Liked the spritework, and the concept was great! Would advise allowing WASD on browser games aswell, as arrowkeys made my browser scroll up and down. Hope you enjoyed ludum dare! For now that you've started, you can never leave!!! Muhahahahaha!

Tetrominated by Peter Jonsson 2023-10-02T18:14:15Z ♥ 0

And here I thought I was being original when making a tetris variation with bombs! This is super cool! I like the scrolling mechanic, but the bombs felt like they didn't do much. I think boosting their effect could help a lot. Also the sound design needs a rework, the main moving sound is irritating. Loved the music though, and it looks really clean. Hope your game does well! Go team tetris!

Skull Hoarder's Club by lostcyclop 2023-10-02T18:05:18Z ♥ 1

Plays like strange skull blackjack, which is in all ways a compliment. I've always wanted to play weird skull blackjack!

Space Phantasy XIV - Disc 5 by Frogravity 2023-10-02T17:54:46Z ♥ 1

Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah! This is so good! While statuses are super inbalanced and 5 stacks of fire means instant loss, i found it really fun to try to try to use that to my advantage. The fact that I could easily lose if I ended up with the wrong "friend" on the poison and fire type meant that every decision mattered a lot. It ended up becoming a weird kind of puzzle game. Also super funny! Looking forward to the 15 part game series following their kid. Lastly, I appreciate your honesty about fixing the bugs! That will definitely slightly boost your score on my part. Great job!

Diminutive Dungeon by Rose 2023-10-02T14:17:41Z ♥ 2

Nice game! This could easily be built upon to make a nice puzzler. Some points of feedback: There were no stakes, which made the game feel a bit boring at times. If I died, id just resurface with all my stuff, so I didn't have to think too hard. Resurfacing in general felt bad. I wanted to continue down until I couldn't, and the inventory system just felt like I died because I played well. Aside from all that negativity, I loved the artstyle. The game was intuitive, the colors splitting what each character could do was fun. This is already pretty great. With some difficulty scaling as you go deeper, and some more variation in puzzles, and some more juice, this could be really engaging. Hope your game does well!

Wind In The Sails by SuperGamersGames 2023-10-02T13:49:53Z ♥ 0

This runs extremely slowly on my laptop for some reason. I promise to get around to playing this in a week, when i get access to my stationary pc again.

btw I often forget how much a megabyte really is. This website really put things in perspective:

DEFRAG-MENTOR by lucydango 2023-10-02T13:42:20Z ♥ 0

Fun! This had a cool twist on the theme, and great visuals! Speaking of theme, the computer theming of the game felt unique, and fit the genre really well. If you were to continue working on this, I'd recommend adding as much juice to the game as you possibly can, make the bullets bigger, and make the anti virus hit their targets a bit better. Also moving your windows during a match can be a bit overpowered in the early game, but balances itself out pretty quickly. Good job!

Depths of Eonar by GreyNovemberGames 2023-10-02T13:25:50Z ♥ 3

tiny game.png The game is teeny tiny for me here on ludum. Send me a comment when you fix the itch.io page, then i'll try it out there!

Give Me Money by kairuma 2023-10-02T11:27:56Z ♥ 1

You absolutely nailed the art, and more than that, the sound design is amazing! A super fun twist on the idle game genre. I sadly got tired of it before the third size upgrade. After the first couple of upgrades, there wasn't alot to do besides walking in circles and waiting. Somehow giving the player other actions needed to optimise the amount of money they gain might improve things - fixing machines and such. The level of polish is incredible though. Well done!

The Carver by Cymusi 2023-10-02T11:09:27Z ♥ 2

Really cool mechanic! Nice and intuitive, really well done!

As it stands it's a little too easy for me, but it's still a lot fun. You could increase the difficulty by having the enemies spawn a little more spread out. At the moment you can kill most of the enemies with one wall as they spawn. Also, the wand moving the wall is a bit overpowered. Making it simply remove the wall should be enough. Difficuly could also be increased by having the wand have a much longer recharge time. The sound design could also use some work, especially the wand - it's a little too high pitched, and could use some punch.

Otherwise the game looks really nice. Limited palette pixel art is the way to go in gamejams, and you really pulled it off. There's a lot of potential here, I hope your game does well. Good luck!

Sky's the Limit by clema 2023-10-02T10:48:12Z ♥ 1

Nice game! Played it several times, though I never quite managed to beat it (insert micheal jackson sounds).

The health boosts don't seem to work, so the +999 health upgrades does nothing. I thought i'd beat the game when I finally got that, but no dice. Otherwise I hope you listened to Lady angel about the TODO list. Restarting from level one makes sense, but having to listen to the dialogue every time is a bit irritating. Lastly, I rarely actually fought the slimes. Making them drop something might make fighting them more interesting.

Aside from that, I really liked the game! The music is nice and fun, and the art and colors look great. I hope you continue to make games. You've earned yourself a follower!

Nice game! I'm so confused!

Protect Egg. by devook 2020-04-21T11:23:54Z ♥ 2

This is incredible! Love it. Sounds good, and feels good. I only wish I knew more about egg. How was egg's childhood, and what is egg aspiring to become?

Keep Us Alive by Aroma 2020-04-21T11:15:18Z ♥ 2

This game is so weird! I love it!

Nice, juicy feeling parrying game. Looks super good, too :).

Save Your Wife! by Sparsha Dhar 2020-04-21T08:15:54Z ♥ 3

This is beautiful. I love the "Throw wife" mechanic. I am so confused as to why you picked up your wife though. She was never hurt in the cutscene? I love it anyways. Just adds to the feel. Also, the environment looks super good! Great job with the game, great stuff.

Econaut by tyranosaw 2020-04-21T08:03:04Z ♥ 4

The game both looks and sounds incredible! Super chill game.

I love the audio. So satisfying. I wish it was longer, but that is in no way a negative. Great job! Hope you make more.

Color Swirl by sansman01 2019-10-07T17:56:04Z ♥ 2

Moody! The first empty part made me excited to play your game. Love it. The game play itself is pretty hard with a trackpad but very fun. To improve the game checkpoints would be great, and maybe improve the visuals a bit, as I dont think pixel art fits the looks of your flare. You should otherwise dive deep into the mood of your game.

Start with a Click by Maksim Chugunov 2019-10-07T17:19:51Z ♥ 1

Absolutely intuitive, and very satisfying. Great sound effects, and nice visuals. Only point you could improve on would be to make it more intuitive to move the blocks (but you know this). Overall great game!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (2)

Spaceship by Xavier Sellier 2018-12-03T18:49:55Z ♥ 1

Why is the html5 link a download? That defeats the purpose of html5. Use itch.io

The game isn't fun. The pieces the furthest away from the ship aren't any more than clicking and waiting, as there is no chance you'll make it back to the ship. Closer items are two clicks, but they often decrease to one click because of the hunger mechanic.

I like the idea of getting as many things as you can in one go, the problem is that the player spends so much time walking that he will not be able to get more than one thing each walk.

You sacrifice yourself for items. Hit the theme.

I love the graphics, and the mood is almost perfect. Just a shame there's no wind or any other sound. You've made a walking simulator, and hitting mood is important for this style of game, so good job.

Stepwise Massacre by Friend_Pirozhok 2018-12-03T17:20:19Z ♥ 1

I find the game very easy, and way to slow. I like how the game looks, but I feel the animations were too slow, and unnatural (Maybe add a few keyframes). Maybe spawn a few more opponent killers at a time, as one at a time didn't change my movement much.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (11)

Planet Escape by Merrow 2018-04-25T14:31:17Z ♥ 1

This is the best game I have seen here so far!

Only problem I have with it, is that enemies appear, and shoot twice in one turn, making it impossible to protect.

Sneaky link: https://crispypear.itch.io/stealth-farmer

Shuffle Climber by miroky 2018-04-25T13:38:28Z ♥ 1

I think this game would benefit from always having one of each power, and only randomize placement. Maybe even randomize while the player is looking? (With signaling)

The cooldown was a bit to long too.

Still, I loved the music, credits, graphics and idea.

https://crispypear.itch.io/stealth-farmer

Oops, I slipped. I didnt mean to drop this link to my game, which you without a doubt should try! Sorry about that...

-------- Noisy - Ninja -------- by ThePhennix 2018-04-25T12:59:49Z ♥ 1

Found a glitch. You can hold down R,G and B, and You will hit every note.

This game needs to change how lasers look. Its very hard to see the lasers.

Loved the music, and the idea was original

Trophy Defense by August1413 2018-04-24T15:46:59Z ♥ 1

I was dissappointed to realize this wasnt the greatest game of all time.

The player was too small, and the turret rotation too sensitive, making it hard to aim. And no sound effects. 😢

Now, if you really wanna know what the worlds best game is, you should check MY game out! Its a combination of farming and stealth! Wow!

Stop 'n Go Racing by Tût-tûûût 2018-04-24T14:56:04Z ♥ 1

The controlls are not responsive, so when you stopped turning, it would just keep on going to the previous direction. Controll over the car is the main reason people dont quit racinggames. Otherwise, the game would be extremely frustrating.

The pauses just ruined the game. It added nothing. I understand that the pauses were your main idea, but your idea should make your game better, not worse.

And dont just steal the example from the theme. This will harm your innovationscore.

Also, the car could be flipped, and the game would just keep on going.

Im sorry if this review was harsh, but you need to understand where you failed, to not repeat your mistakes.

Eyes on the Prize by phearbot 2018-04-24T14:42:06Z ♥ 2

Hey there! Rating incomming. Please return the favor.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/stealth-farmer

Rating: Crafting didnt work. You didnt see what you were able to craft. Additionally, you didnt have time to see what different powerups did. This game should have had some kind of tutorial.

The game was a bit ugly. You didnt pick a style, and there where pixelart mixed with digitalart. You should pick a style, dont start mixing.

Still, this was a good game. I played several rounds of this too find the bads in it.

And its great that you made it singleplayer playable. Otherwise you wouldnt have gotten this rating

Im definitely becoming a full time artist now. This drawing is perfect

I loved the idea, but the game seems unfinished. If you become a faster programmer, I think you could make great games with your current ideas

Super Platformer RPG by Silent Tower Games 2018-04-23T17:39:39Z ♥ 1

Great game, though the health reset whenever you fell of a cliff, so potions were worthless. Also enemy health didnt reset.

Clidger by Mathiouza 2018-04-23T14:13:34Z ♥ 1

The enemies from the sides attacked to fast, and the tutorial repeated over and over. Just put me back in the action! You could have added a "Turn of tutorial" button. all in all, a pretty good game

Blitz Field by Jole 2018-04-23T13:53:21Z ♥ 0

The difficulty curve felt a bit off, and it was very hard to understand when the enemies would spawn. I would completely avoid picking up energy when you suddenly started spawning swarms of enemies.

This kind of game also relies on game feel, so use magnets to make the player have hundreds of energy pellets flying towards them when it kills the swarms. Make the enemies shoot out particles when they die.

Despite the problems, I enjoyed the idea, and killing enemies was fun.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is (1)

Catch for cash by flip120 2017-12-05T15:17:20Z ♥ 3

The only problem I have with the game is the instadeaths. You should have made it possible to stay in the door and hide, so that you dont die instantly from going through the doors.
