LD53 — Delivery

Air Delivery by pianoman373 2023-05-04T00:14:05Z

Really cute game! The backtracking was a little harsh at times, but I guess I shouldn't complain too much for what's otherwise a really solid project. Great job!

(I dont know why this posted twice but I cant delete it. Whoops.)

Bad News Network by ZeAntwan 2023-05-02T01:30:14Z

Cool game with a great presentation - though on my second run I found it was pretty easy to go infinite by just doing a simple 2/2/2 pattern. Once you do that, it basically just becomes an RNG game of when you'll get clogged with too many pieces of one topic. Still, great job!

IceCream Van by notnasiul 2023-05-05T02:16:54Z

Really cute game! All the elements - pixel art, sound, polish - really come together to make this feel like a complete package despite the small size. Great job!!

Grav Garb by Alchemic 2023-05-05T02:43:03Z

strap in we goin moonrat mode boys

NICE DELIVERY INC! by unima9000 2023-05-03T03:41:33Z

Love speedrunning games, so I was stoked when I realized what this was!! Really cool game, great job!

The Snack Shack by Sarah 2023-05-04T00:24:14Z

Really great vibes - I think allowing the player to mess up orders would do wonders to make it more involved, but I enjoyed serving up orders nonetheless. Good job!!!

You Hate Mail by xbcw 2023-05-05T02:33:48Z

Really great entry, love the style and humor and the game was surprisingly intense despite the simple premise. Great job!!

Inbox Fool by 100th_Coin 2023-05-03T01:49:16Z

Really fantastic work!!! It's incredible how all-around polished and complete this is, especially for 48 hours. I really only have nitpicks - the puzzles felt frustrating sometimes since I usually figured out what to do instantly, but took several tries to actually complete the puzzle because of the timing elements; the only one I actually had to stop and think on was the "Impossible Room" one. Also, following that, it would have been REALLY nice to be able to restart while in the dragging mode, since I usually could tell I didn't get the timing right but still had to drag the cursor somewhere in order to be able to restart.

Still, these are relatively minor things for an incredible entry. Awesome job!!!

Goblin! Rescue! Squad! by Liam Kinsella 2023-05-05T03:08:03Z

Really cute game and SUPER cute goblins, I would die for them. The pickup controls were a little weird at times - sometimes I could pick up the ball, sometimes I couldn't - but I still made it through and rescued all the goblins. Great job :)

Bundle Beeline by Squidly 2023-05-04T04:44:07Z

Holy moly I love this entry. The art is so cute and everything is so polished - seriously, this is super impressive stuff!!

I do wish the penalty for throwing packages wasn't so harsh though - being able to toss things in different directions without them breaking would really spice the game up with some more interesting routing options. Maybe that's just my Payday bag-chaining instincts failing me, though.

Either way, great work!!

To Infinibee And Beyond! by Prakkus 2023-05-02T04:08:10Z

Really cute game!! I almost want some sort of dive feature so I can go down faster to get flowers from above, instead of kinda circling them till I glide down naturally. Still though, I liked it - good job!!

Package Panik by Gerolmed 2023-05-05T02:26:51Z

Really cute management game! It's crazy how much you guys got done in such a short timespan, seriously fantastic work. I'm gonna leave it running in the BG while playing other entries and see how much cash I can rack up. Great job!!!

Dressed Delivery by kiririn51 2023-05-02T01:53:29Z

LOVE this game!!! fantastic art and music and really cool gameplay.

Design wise, I'd love to be able to see enemy health so I could make more informed decisions about who to prioritize - additionally, I feel like Move is an almost useless ability when you can just knock enemies back to deal damage AND get out of their danger zone.

Would love to see this turn into a full game. Great work!!!!

Mailman Madness by AndideBob 2023-05-05T02:48:35Z

Really fun game! Couldn't ever figure out a way to reliably dodge those dogs, though - but maybe that's the point, being a mailman and all. Great job!

Hexpress by RunicPixels 2023-05-02T04:15:54Z

Cool mechanics and really nice graphics, great job!!

Wasabi Whiskers by Beebo Studios 2023-05-03T04:11:41Z

This game is totally fantastic, I love everything about it - the atmosphere, the music, the art, the puzzle design, it's all really well done and cohesive! Fantastic work all around, one of the best games in the jam for sure!

Special Delivery by Ismael Rodriguez 2023-05-03T02:43:00Z

Really fantastic little game, simple concept executed really well! I would've liked to see a bit more mixing of the elements, especially those little throwing robots which I feel didn't get enough time to shine. I could almost imagine a scenario where you'd have throwing robot throw into a fan that pushes the box back to another robot one level up :)

Awesome job!

Dante's Delivery Service by Scott Steffes 2023-05-02T04:47:11Z

LOVE THIS GAME!!! I genuinely had such a big doofy smile on my face when the pistol came up. Seriously great stuff.

I feel like after the initial twist though, getting dragged back into the day sections is a bit of a bummer. It's exactly the same as the night sections, but without that extra shooting mechanic to keep things engaging. Giving the daytime sections their own special mechanic (Crazy taxi delivery routes?) would help remedy it a lot.

Still though, this is the best game I've played so far from the jam. Awesome work!!!

Garçon! by MercilessCult 2023-05-04T01:50:25Z

Really fantastic (and super cute!) graphics, both 3D and 2D! The controller is a bit rough around the edges but it seems like you guys were trying to do a lot, and it's surprisingly fun nonetheless - I just wish I could see what the names on the letters were after I pick them up, haha. Great job!!

Eternal delivery by DarthWaxus 2023-05-04T03:55:49Z

Pretty neat little game, though throwing the packages bugged out sometimes. Still, good job!

Kittens: A Tale of Yarn and Woe by FlashViper 2023-05-04T00:19:05Z

Definitely one of the most fun "Deliver the thing" games - I really enjoyed knocking the ball around, the physics felt surprisingly good and the effects were really satisfying. Great job!!

oh no, you are the package by gn Fur 2023-05-05T02:58:34Z

Really fantastic game and super well polished! I feel like I never really understood the grapple, but that just may be me being stupid. The art was super well done and had an awesome style. Fantastic job!!!

Lern Island Letters by Andori_Paic 2023-05-02T01:16:48Z

Really neat concept! I was kinda confused though - it seemed like there was an undercurrent where I should have been sending evidence of the ruins to that one specific person, but whenever I did, it would always come back as mis-sent and the game wouldn't acknowledge it. I even sent the final letter stating the ruins' existence outright to her and I still got the ending where the island couldn't be saved. I also would have liked some more intricate puzzles to the letters - 5-6 days in and the majority of the mail is still being labelled by-name, whereas the intro letter made me feel like I was going to have to do more detective work to tell what was going to who.

Still though, it was a cool game and I really enjoyed the vibes. Great work!!!

Not a Bot! by Jeremy Ho 2023-05-02T05:14:15Z

Lovely little game with a lovely little guy :)

Tentacle Delivery by Cloistered 2023-05-05T02:51:27Z

Cute game! Though I had to aim a little bit off from the target to hit stuff - think some more tuning may be required there. Still, good job :)

Rogue 'n Royal by Bauke Regnerus 2023-05-05T02:00:38Z

Pretty great game - you could have just stopped at the minigame, but I love the extra mile of the items & interactions. Great job!

Superstar Surgeon: a Sensitive Subject by Fupi 2023-05-04T03:48:40Z

This one was really clever and I loved the dialogue from both the "Good" and "Bad" routes, super well done overall :)

Return To Sender by Aurailus 2023-05-03T02:25:09Z

Papers please but cuter - great job :)

I agree that it felt really satisfying to learn the products over time, though I will say it did get a LOT easier once I realized that I only had to mark one incorrect aspect instead of all of them! Never really did figure out all the parts of the game cartridge, though - and maybe it was just my tired brain, but it took me a minute to realize you had to click on it to see the back.

Still though, really awesome game - fantastic work!!

Thirty Minutes Or Less by Spice Cabinet 2023-05-03T01:53:29Z

I love the phase changes (as does everyone else), it's a super creative way to keep an arcade schmup feeling really fresh. I do also agree that I would have loved the damages to be indicative of score, instead of a set amount every time. Still though, great job!!!

Debbie's Diner Derby by Oroshibu 2023-05-04T04:51:09Z

Super lovely controls and fantastic visuals & music. Really can't find any complaints - super well done :)

A$AP Boxy by maxflav 2023-05-05T00:15:04Z

Really fun concept and cool puzzles! You get a lot of mileage out of the concept and use it in interesting ways. Great job!

Alien Midwife by BangKerpow 2023-05-05T00:24:31Z

Cool game - gets hectic quickly with all the eggs. I do wish there was a pause button, but I understand that that may feel a little against the spirit :)

Rail Blazer by alanxoc3 2023-05-03T03:21:05Z

Great game - though I did manage to softlock myself with Sheep :)

Rail Blazer by alanxoc3 2023-05-03T04:16:53Z

@wadlo I meant I picked up two sheep, and never got any quests to deliver them anywhere, so I couldn't pick up anything else and get more money

FISH FRESH delivery by Oleg Bone 2023-05-05T00:37:21Z

Really cute puzzler with a super cute style! Maybe it's just because I've played a lot of Flow, but I wish the puzzles were a bit more difficult - I solved most of them at a glance. Still, really well done overall!

Diner Dash by Snotax 2023-05-04T00:45:16Z

Surprising how giving you multiple characters makes sliding puzzles way more fun! At first I was kinda overwhelmed, but once I figured out I could swap my food between waiters everything sorta fell into place and became super satisfying. Great job :)

The Silver Fleet by KyleTheCoder 2023-05-04T04:28:49Z

Pretty charming little infinite runner with cute graphics - great job!! I don't fully know what "Luck" does though - a better explanation would have helped. Still, good game nonetheless :)

Catch it by xCarl 2023-05-04T02:03:13Z

Really cute concept, and super cute art too - love the wario ware style! Great job!

Jiji: The Skateboarding Postcat by Connor Magson 2023-05-05T00:44:14Z

Really cute game! I would die for jiji. I do wish everything was just a bit faster though - respawning, moving, level transitions, etc. Still, great job!

Pizza Time by Macbarette 2023-05-05T00:58:38Z

Cool puzzle game, I've seen stuff like it in the past but the extra tiles / pickups really do a lot to keep it feeling fresh. Great job!!

PARCEL PUNISHER by SirMilkman 2023-05-04T00:40:55Z

This is a fantastic submission, I love the visual style and there's a lot of juicy feedback and satisfying gameplay! Really great job, seriously!

T.I.M.E by bqq 2023-05-04T01:58:18Z

Really cute game and really great soundtrack, loved the atmosphere! It was a bit weird to get reduced back down to the wind spell at the end - powering down instead of up - but that's a small thing. Great job ya'll :)

Good Vibe Delivery by Kepsert 2023-05-04T01:32:46Z

Really great controls, and satisfying level design. Fantastic job!! My only real feedback is I wish the obstacles were more immediately discernable from the background - I couldn't tell that the fences were supposed to be spikes. But that's a minor thing - this is a really great game!

Next Day Delivery by OminusGalaxy44 2023-05-03T04:42:00Z

Fun little game - though I feel like I didn't really understand how to use the package recoil :P

Still, good job!!

Treats Inbound by rickylee 2023-05-05T01:25:17Z

That was... surreal. But in a way I really got a kick out of, haha. Great job!!

Purrfect Delivery by Mashiro 2023-05-02T03:47:08Z

Very cute game!! I feel like the popups are kinda harsh though - they ramp up super quickly.

Good job :)

Hell'o-Cargo by agudar 2023-05-05T02:12:20Z

Super great, well-polished game! Not a lot of complaints, other than the throwing being a little finnicky, but that's super minor - great job overall!

Wrong address by Allax 2023-05-03T02:13:07Z

I've gotten all S ranks on Hotline Miami 2 and I've FC'd Dead Ahead more times than I can count - even though I haven't touched it in years, it was crazy how quickly all those reflexes came back once I booted up your game :)

That all being said, I'm not super sure about the decision to give everyone health - it may have been done as an attempt to make the experience easier, but as someone who's played a TON of Hotline Miami, it actually made it way harder! The increased TTK meant that I couldn't play nearly as fast as I'm used to and had to un-learn a lot of habits over the course of 15 minutes. It feels like the only real way to avoid taking damage is by playing really carefully, which messes with the flow-state that I play HM for.

Granted, I'm comparing two different games - these are just my own biases leaking in. It was a really great experience over all and super well done to boot!

HUBERT by ValentinWB 2023-05-02T01:40:30Z

Fun, but REALLY tough! I think the collision damage is kinda overzealous - clipping on anything even slightly just kills a run as far as I can tell. Love the vibes and the gameplay though.

Neiro by DanielShershnev2Game1 2023-05-04T04:57:03Z

Really liked the vibes, even if I didn't quite 'get' the gameplay. Good job :)

Battery Boys by Cronno 2023-05-05T00:49:53Z

Cute game, but you were right about spacebar hurting your hands - I had to stop playing after the first level because all the spamming was triggering my carpal tunnel xD

Still, great job!

Machine Meltdown by Stefan Funke 2023-05-04T04:37:27Z

Really great looking game - though I wish I didn't have to attack in the direction I was moving, that would have made things a lot easier ;P

Still, really simple and really well done - great job!!

The Night Witches by Kultuk 2023-05-04T04:33:28Z

Simple gameplay and a cool stylistic layer over top, love it. Great job!

Mech Express by No whOne 2023-05-03T04:47:02Z

cat drones unite

Really fun & interesting game!! I like the gameplay that being able to move your towers around in real-time affords. Great job!!

Bullet Worm by resacaGames 2023-05-05T01:08:23Z

Really cute game! After realizing my tail couldn't collide with black squares, I didn't suuuper understand what the tension is with holding more pieces at once - maybe go classic snake and have some self-collision? Either way, really simple and fun game, very well done!!

Mira-sol by MrAlcoro 2023-05-04T00:30:03Z

Super simple, super fun, and super stylized - Really, really fantastic job with this. It gets really hectic pretty fast, but whether or not that's a good or bad thing is up to your tastes. Definitely one of the best games of the jam!

First Delivery by BrahGold 2023-05-05T03:16:53Z

The flying was weird at first, but I actually got used to it after a while. Congrats on shipping a game jam game - you did great!

Delivery Dungeon by Buni 2023-05-05T01:16:23Z

Cool game! I wish you started off a little bit more powerful at a base level, though - things are pretty sluggish until you get that first initial burst of gold. Still, it was a pretty neat little twinstick shooter - great job!

Slime Delivery Service by protowlf 2023-05-03T03:32:52Z

Cute game! I like the puzzle mechanics that came out of splitting the characters up - though I did manage to do that last one with only one slime, haha

Lil' Red Witch by Bluepir 2023-05-05T01:22:01Z

Really cute game and well done! But something I was doing with the movement keys kept freaking out the character controller and launching me in weird directions haha. Still managed to spread love and kindness throughout the town despite it, though! Great job :)

Groove 'n' Goods by ekaktusz 2023-05-03T03:54:32Z

Cool game, love the graphics and music especially! I feel like once you get enough of a nest egg to reliably buy coke, though, there's not much reason to do anything else since it gives you so much return on investment.

Still, great job!

Buccaneer Mail co. by ChanceA 2023-05-03T03:15:45Z

Really liked this art, especially how animated the character was! The controls were a bit stick-y, but it wasn't that much of a problem - good job :)

Rain On Their Parade! by TomasPraestholm 2023-05-04T02:13:24Z

Extremely cute art and I loved the progression of mechanics as time went on. Great job!!!

Last Stand Delivery by Sheng Mai 2023-05-04T04:24:25Z

Really neat take on the pushing block genre; I liked the added twist of adding powerups to the monsters. Great job!

Dead-End Delivery by RobotChimp 2023-05-03T01:59:24Z

This game is absolutely DRIPPING with style - and that 80's lofi aesthetic is exactly the type of style that I love. Seriously, I don't know how you managed to get this much mileage out of 72 hours! And the competing elements of time and fuel add a really nice tension to what otherwise could have been a pretty rudimentary A-to-B type game. I do wish there was a bit more I could do driving wise - the vehicle is a bit hard to control and doesn't flow like I would like it to - but that's a smaller nitpick on an otherwise incredible game. Fantastic job!!

Also - take that "aspiring" out of your profile, own what you are :)

Syntech Surfer by Xandruher 2023-05-02T01:36:28Z

Awesome vibes - I wish there was a little more to the movement though, especially since the whole game is centered around it; as far as I could tell it was just the jump and the boost. Good job nonetheless!!

Terminal Mayhem by ThomasVenner 2023-05-04T00:35:56Z

Really cool concept, but I agree about it being really hard :(

It took me a second to realize that the boxes were supposed to be going to different cities, but once I did, I guess I never really understood how to make that happen. The boxes just come out way to fast to be able to react to them, especially since you need to mouse over them to actually see where they're supposed to go, by which point they're probably already well on their way!

If you continued this, I'd really start with color-coding the boxes so that you can tell at a quick glance where they're supposed to go. Still, good job on the game!

"I Do Extra Good!" by Flightyfelon 2023-05-03T02:34:05Z

I usually don't like overly-physicsy-systemy-controlly-gamey-games, but this one was actually a lot of fun! Maybe it was my rhythm game inclinations leaking through, who knows. Definitely the best MUSIC in the jam so far, seriously - an I appreciate seeing another unabashed use of :3

great job ya'll!!

Parcel Problem by Fiinrii 2023-05-05T01:56:11Z

Pretty cool, and great music to boot :)

Tracks 'n Bandits: Haulin' Cargo by Terquey 2023-05-05T01:52:37Z

Pretty cute game! I feel like I reached the end, but I couldn't tell - Train just kept moving with no cargo and I couldn't control it at some point. But nonetheless, it was pretty fun and well done overall. Good job!

the postBIRB by LarsieVL 2023-05-03T04:33:12Z

Congrats on your first game jam! The bird controls are actually pretty fun, once I got used to it I really liked just zooming around. Great job!

Porch Rats! by Quinnster 2023-05-02T05:34:04Z

Really cute art and a fun game to boot! If I had to say anything, it'd probably be to let the progression ramp up more quickly - most people understand how tower defense games work, so it shouldn't be a problem. Great job though!!

Manucci's Pizza Hunt by Jona Scheidig 2023-05-05T03:11:40Z

Really great game, complete package, super well done with great music. Not a lot of complaints here - great job ya'll!

Awazon Warehouse Simulator by adlingtont 2023-05-02T04:12:25Z

I feel like the inverted steering controls kinda get in the way - still though, good job on your first jam!!!

Alien Elevator by nhcarter123 2023-05-03T04:36:35Z

Fun & unique little puzzler - I didn't quite figure out the use case for that top floor but I had fun nonetheless, great job!

Mailure To Launch by drainkid 2023-05-02T06:39:19Z

@pannda its really funny you mention bhopping because I actually wanted to add that - I originally wanted to do a mario-style hold-jump that you could tap to do short b-hops and gain speed. But that was super low on the priority list and didn't end up getting in in time, so the player just does the max height jump all the time :P

Mailure To Launch by drainkid 2023-05-03T22:17:47Z

@Liven there's a mouse sens option, but I guess I just didn't point it out enough 'cause you're not the first person to not notice it lol

Mailure To Launch by drainkid 2023-05-04T15:37:51Z

@rincs Yeah, sorry about that. There was supposed to be a sort of 'ticket' system where only one or two drones could talk at once, but at some point it broke and we never had time to fix it. Hopefully you still enjoyed the game :)

Mailure To Launch by drainkid 2023-05-04T15:38:39Z

@yuriscat Thank you!!! And yeah i kinda wish I added a skip intro button myself lol... It'd be super easy to slot in but being my first ludum dare I'm really fuzzy on the rules surrounding updates. Maybe post-jam, who knows.

Mailure To Launch by drainkid 2023-05-04T15:47:18Z

@fupi awww man sorry to hear :(

I was really really concerned about perf since we switched render pipelines at the very end to get the lights working and it ended up making the game quite a bit more demanding - but i guess i felt like we got away with it because nobody else had mentioned it so far. Glad you still liked the music though!

Mailure To Launch by drainkid 2023-05-05T18:15:54Z

@aurailus Thank you!! I caught your vod - sorry about the lag, i heard the comment about the entire map being loaded at once and you might be surprised to learn that we were using a pretty aggressive vision cull. I think we just went way way too overboard on the dynamic lighting, and thought it was fine because it hit decent perf on Ashley's macbook. But given you and some other people's comments, we apparently fell into a false sense of security xD

I'm glad you had fun with the game and enjoyed our half-assed sense of humor - thank you for playing!!

Out For Delivery by Groundwater Studio 2023-05-04T01:14:52Z

Really cute graphics, style, and sound - though I feel like I got kinda lost and didn't fully understand what to do or if the game ended. Still, I had a fun time nonetheless :)

Death Delivery by mackelio 2023-05-05T01:47:37Z

Really cool game, though some more targets would help make the investigations more engaging. Still though, really great concept and very well done!

Mushroom Mail by Endocrine_BAMSc 2023-05-04T01:26:24Z

Such an adorable game, I really loved all the art and the storybook style. The jump was a little weird and I never could figure out how far it was going to send me, though. That being said, you guys did a great job overall!

Delivery Duck by xxstdyk 2023-05-02T00:57:31Z

I think it would be nice if you could see where you're taking the packages before you actually run down those little alleys near the end - and if instead of resetting the scene when you deliver all the packages, you could make it a score attack where you keep respawning packages on either side. Neat game nonetheless!!!

Under 30 Minutes by hani 2023-05-02T04:36:49Z

Impressive for a single person man, great job!! Very super-hot-esque

Logisticlaw by Cubellia 2023-05-06T21:33:59Z

Great game, very polished for a jam as well and super cute art! I had a similar problem with the boxes though haha, some of them didn't seem to register even when I placed them in the truck (or maybe its just more precise than I thought it was?)

Still, really great game, fantastic work!

Project Spirit by Naive Games 2023-05-03T02:58:33Z

Really cool game! Though I was a little bummed that after writing a pretty heartfelt letter to my dog, I couldn't find anything but spam when delivering. Oh well - that's not on you, mean people will ruin anything if you give them the chance. Great job nonetheless :)

Hive by blank_3D 2023-05-04T04:19:08Z

Really cute game - I would've liked something like a sound indication when you collected pollen because I couldn't tell that I was actually doing it the first time around, haha. That being said, really great job!!

Bunpacking by Chailotl 2023-05-02T02:08:43Z

Love this artstyle so much! It's pretty easy to kite the raccoons, though maybe my bunny reflexes are just too good :)

great job!

Portal Package Panic by PtitJao 2023-05-02T02:01:35Z

Love the art for this a LOT - you've touched upon my bias for witchy magyks. Cute little game, great job!!

Pipebomb in your Mailbox by Berc 2023-05-02T01:22:37Z

Love the pixel art :)

congrats on your first jam game, great job!!!

LD55 — Summoning

Patty Panic by thomz12 2024-04-17T17:17:13Z

Honestly super tight game, I appreciate how mechanically simple it was with only movement as control - lesser designers would have made you hit E to interact with things, for example, but the lack of complexity mixed with the depth of routing around the restaurant made it really satisfying to play. Great job!

EDIT: Just read that this was created with your own engine, massive kudos for that. You should rate some more games to give this entry some visibility, it deserves it :)

Hot Wax 🕯️ by TRASEVOL_DOG 2024-04-17T01:48:58Z

Really cool take on tetris, once I figured out what was going on it was really satisfying. Lots of fun, great entry!!

Bloody Builder by indegame 2024-04-16T03:19:31Z

VERY cool game, I loved the idea of crafting different minions of of parts I collected and it was fun to see all the different guys I could make - I wish there was some sort of fast-build though, or maybe just being able to click on a part to slot it in instead of dragging it, as my inventory quickly filled up and making all the units became a bit cumbersome. Still, this is a really great entry, fantastic job!!!

Split-Decision by ColeSlaughter 2024-04-18T02:39:44Z

Super well polished, super unique, super fun - managed to get myself on the leaderboards even, which I was proud of :)

It's suuuuuuper nitpicky but I wish the music didn't restart every time you reset the level, takes you out of the zone a bit when you can't listen to more than ~10-15 seconds of a song before the next one starts lol

Definitely wanna see more of this game!

The Culling by unless games 2024-04-17T17:27:11Z

Really sick looking game visually, took me a hot second to figure out how to play it but it's really fun and satisfying to cut things up. I do wish there was a timer and that the results you get at the end were a bit clearer, there were time where I swore I cut everything that fit but still got 'Bad Blood'. Either way though, great entry!!

Home-O-Mancer by Happy 2024-04-17T05:01:52Z

Really cute, though I wish there was a fast sell button for when I'm trying out different recipes haha.

RAT CHEESERS by ick 2024-04-18T01:12:21Z

Honestly despite the silly concept this was weirdly the most terrifying game of the jam for me so far lol. Something about the low-poly graphics and distorted sounds with the low drones of the enemies was really imposing, so great job there - and the gameplay of summoning your rats got surprisingly tense whenever you were separated from them!

Stellar V by ahistyap 2024-04-17T04:40:11Z

Really cute game, though it took me a second to figure out. V-Chan and the art in general is really cute!

Let Me Cook! by reaxt 2024-04-16T04:37:57Z

Really fun, I loved the art and the humor and balancing the minigames with the cooking was actually pretty tough. Great job!!

Church of Pain by ThorPalsson 2024-04-18T02:50:53Z

I don't know if it was intentional but the floppy machinegun made me laugh lol, nice job overall :)

Dicey Demons by UkuleleFury 2024-04-16T03:41:58Z

This is the best game of the jam for me so far!!! I love the art, the music, the atmosphere - and the gameplay is really neat, I like deckbuilding around the dice. I managed to get to the final boss, but just didn't get the rolls I needed. I had a ton of fun nonetheless though, fantastic work!!

12 Vengeful Ghosts by DecadeDecaf 2024-04-18T01:57:36Z

Really cool game, though that fourth ghost is a big difficulty spike, having to spot-dodge like that with super tight timing was tough lol

12 Vengeful Ghosts by DecadeDecaf 2024-04-18T02:07:13Z

@decadedecaf Oh god for some reason I realized you could dodge from side to side but I didn't think to dodge upwards. That's completely my bad LMAO

EDIT: Second attempt fared much better lol

Penta-mania by SirLich 2024-04-17T02:51:14Z

Cute turn based game, really unique - I had a bit of trouble determining if an attack was going to hit or not, so maybe some enemy highlighting would have helped, but other than that it was really solid. Good job!

FRIED AWAY by Kyrios 2024-04-16T02:18:44Z

The platforms are a bit buggy but its really fun, and the audio of the chickens is excellent, fantastic job!!!

An Other Survivor... by Pierre CILLUFFO 2024-04-18T02:01:59Z

Really polished experience, I loved the artstyle and the SFX. I didn't know I could upgrade my guys until I read the comments though, managed to get a lot further on my second attempt knowing that lol

cheezard by PizzArt64 2024-04-18T01:47:21Z

Fun game, I enjoyed seeing what all the different effects I could use were, even if Poison Cloud seemed significantly better than everything else lol. The artstyle and polish was really great too, overall fantastic job!

Necropets by gasgiant 2024-04-17T18:13:09Z

Cute art and cute pets, once I figured out what to do with the items it clicked and was a lot of fun. Good job!!

Lucky Little Darlings by Emiliabea 2024-04-17T01:31:15Z

Really great looking art - the characters in the book are really cute, though it was hard to tell what I needed to look for based on the descriptions sometimes haha. Still really enjoyed it though, good job :)

Real Time Demoning by Anson Rutherford 2024-04-16T02:05:37Z

Honestly the streamcam bit is the first time I laughed out loud this jam, so thanks for that lol

Haunted Forest by zimny11 2024-04-18T01:20:15Z

Very striking visuals with the red-white-black pixel aesthetic, though I found myself a bit stuck in the second area trying to put squirrels onto the altar - wasn't sure what to do. Still, the atmosphere was incredible, so great work either way :)

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Crab Girl And Summoned Slimes To Fight For Me by bittripbrit 2024-04-17T04:10:26Z

Really fun game, I liked seeing all the different slimes and then snowballing with them >:)

Sinful Scoops by Blue Pin Studio 2024-04-17T02:04:20Z

Really fantastic game, my only comments are that I think it should have stopped highlighting the relevant sections before the final challenge as before that the difficulty felt a little flat, and the pentagram was really hard to draw for me for some reason. I really enjoyed the gameplay of deducing the sins, the art was great, and the music was catchy. Overall great job :)

Devil's QWERTY by SakuH 2024-04-17T04:20:54Z

really great graphics and cool music, great job overall :)

Mable’s Realm by yurgio 2024-04-17T16:58:08Z

Really really great entry with an awesome visual style, super impressed. I couldn't really tell if getting more than 4 matches made any difference, and I seemed to die even though I still had lots of dudes on the field, but the matching gameplay was fun and the aesthetics were incredible. Great job :)

Pokoe The Forest Summoner's Day Off by Mavvy 2024-04-18T03:07:49Z

Great game, I love the little naruto run the character does lol - the controller feels surprisingly fluid for a jam game! I wish it went on a bit longer, but its still great nonetheless!!!

Blort's Big Adventure by koboldskeep 2024-04-18T01:09:01Z

Cute art and very fun, I've always liked platformers where you can place things!

The Unlikely Messenger by T90. 2024-04-18T01:25:18Z

Cool game, though I did manage to get turned around looking for the last enemy and walked all the way back to the beginning, lol. Still, I was sad when it ended, I wanted to see more!

Daemonis Algebra by orbitaldot 2024-04-17T16:50:43Z

i want to do her homework for her and tell her she did a good job even though i did the homework

Necrocraft by Moonblast 2024-04-17T02:55:44Z

Awesome art, and the game was pretty fun to figure out too - I had fun fitting the pieces together to try and make really OP units. Good job !!!

-Phonebook of Dragon-ヤクザ電話帳 by AegisFate 2024-04-17T17:57:25Z

Super great art and music, love the aesthetics a ton. I wish I got some info about the fight beforehand so I could make good decisions on who to call, but other than that it was great. Good job :)

Summon Shuffleboard by thyoi 2024-05-02T03:07:36Z

Very cute game, don't be so down on yourself! It's very very polished for a compo entry and is super impressive. Finishing is an achievement in and of itself.

Summonware by HelperWesley 2024-04-16T02:30:47Z

Great art, love games inspired by warioware, though I wish the instructions were more central on the screen so I wouldn't have to look over so much lol

Resisting Summons by Noobman64 2024-04-15T23:27:33Z

Cute game!! I like the idea of juggling multiple different minigames at once, but it never really hit the point of overwhelming, especially since my space-bar mashing skills seem to be good enough that I can just ignore them.

Good work!!

The Tchernobyl Battle Simulator Deluxe Edition by Henno 2024-04-16T01:58:44Z

The art here was really impressive - sadly I got a crash on the Web version but I managed to get the jist of the gameplay. Good job :)

Summito by RoughSkin 2024-04-17T04:03:03Z

Fun game that scratches a deckbuilding itch, I like the idea of progress being tied to the cards themselves and having to make decisions about whether to keep or sell them. Nice work :)

Ghostslayer by ThatFirey 2024-04-17T01:39:14Z

Cute game, with great music! It was kind of hard to focus on summoning with the overwhelming amount of enemies though - wish I could have seen more but I kept getting overwhelmed pretty early on haha. Good job!!!

Date Summons by Pokopish 2024-04-17T04:29:16Z

Fun game, though my spacebar hates me now haha. Slime girl is best :)

Sold By Wizards by bobbie 2024-04-16T04:33:30Z

This was really fun - the environments are really detailed and pretty and the loop is engaging. I especially like the nice touches with the typing and the reviews, everything is super polished and high-effort. Great job!!!

Butler! Summon the Imps! by jummbus 2024-04-17T02:41:35Z

Extremely cute art, I love the design of the butler and the overall vibe of the game. There's tons of polish in the mechanics and the art and it goes a long way, really fantastic job on this!!!

Untitled Witch Game by Stevie257 2024-04-17T01:56:15Z

Impressed with how polished this is for just a couple of days, with the fully-modelled character and enemies as well as little touches like the animated reticle. My only real complaint is that middle mouse is a strange choice for a dash button when shift is available, but other than that it felt good. Great job!

A Wizard's Spring Hike by treefds 2024-04-17T17:37:33Z

Good take on block pushing puzzles, being able to summon different guys from around obstacles really adds a lot of depth and the puzzles were satisfying to complete. Great job!!

INFINIWITCH by drainkid 2024-04-16T03:43:24Z

@alpharock6 Thank you!!! Currently my highest score sits around the low 30's, but one of my friends managed to beat the game with 40 lives left - which I didn't even think was possible lol

INFINIWITCH by drainkid 2024-04-16T04:21:56Z

@bobbie Yeah it tends to get a bit desynced near the end - that's my bad. Killing certain enemies faster can cause other enemies to spawn sooner which makes setups that you perform later become inconsistent. It's a problem inherent to this style of timeloop game - I think I did an *alright* job mitigating it but I definitely could have done more. I think the real way to solve this is to keep the timeloop progressing in discrete steps (IE Phase 1 would be its own loop, then phase 2, then phase 3 etc) but then you wouldn't get the super chaotic boss rush feeling.

Those are just my thoughts on it though - glad you had fun regardless!

INFINIWITCH by drainkid 2024-04-17T01:14:03Z

@nomus DUDE this is so cracked, thanks for posting this - I'm actually flabberghasted at how optimized people seem to be getting with this game, I originally had the S rank requirement at 35 but I bumped it down because I literally couldn't do it, so a score of 42 is mind boggling to me lol

Haunted Cartomancy by Norah 2024-04-18T02:25:12Z

Really sleek looking game and very atmospheric, I really enjoyed the experience. Sorry to hear about the bugs, but hopefully you'll take solace in knowing that people still enjoy what you made!

Faust by HellHound 2024-04-17T02:22:14Z

Great art and gameplay, I think my main takeaway is that I would have wanted to see more interplay between the two characters - felt kind of binary about when to use each of them. I would have liked it if Lilith had some use in combat, for example, so i'd get the gameplay of switching between two people during a fight. Still, lots of fun and good execution, great job!

Crimes Against Carrots by NonDev 2024-05-03T03:46:43Z

Really polished game, super impressive work, I had a surprising amount of fun trying to predict when the cars were going to come back around and trying not to get greedy with the pummeling. Plus, any game where you play as a rabbit is a +1 in my book. Great job!

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-16T04:17:18Z

Really really cute game, I liked building up my little cat army though it got kinda hard to manage with all the stuff happening on screen. The art was fantastic and the music was super chill. Awesome entry :)

Bring on the Blocks by alzhu1 2024-04-17T04:34:20Z

Some interesting solutions here, I wish there was more! Good job nonetheless

Idea Catcher——Summoning Tools by DrgCandle 2024-04-17T02:38:42Z

Really polished, great work :)

Manku the Magician by PorChor 2024-04-17T04:15:20Z

BUNNIESSS, this game is insanely cute and surprisingly fun lol, fantastic work

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-17T02:13:34Z

Cute puzzle game, the art is really nice. It was hard to make combos without stepping on your own toes, but i suppose thats the point - great job!!

Luminth by crushedsummers 2024-04-18T01:01:22Z

The art is absolutely incredible, though it was hard to tell which paths were actually dangerous before I had actually gone down them, since the light radius is so small! Maybe some sort of mechanic where you could throw a light would help? Still, great job :)

Dance Dance Summoner by Deoxx 2024-04-16T03:08:10Z

Really slick art, I do wish there were some deeper rhythm elements with a title like 'Dance Dance Summoner' but it was still fun and I got pretty good at the combos near the end. Great work!!

NecroBit by comigor 2024-04-16T04:05:47Z

Really neat game, I loved the visual style!

Demon Doodles by Storeyware 2024-04-16T02:41:58Z

Very cute game, love the art!!!

Feel Good by Polina Vlasova 2024-04-17T17:02:52Z

the art absolutely rips, the gameplay was a weird left turn but I still really enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that the text moves really slow, but other than that it was a great entry. Good job!!

LD59 — Signal

Misplaced by manabreak 2026-04-21T06:43:40Z

Dude the music here owns, I love it. Game oozes style. I think I may have softlocked the ending though by spamming E on the note on a bunch of times... he's sitting on a black screen infinitely talking about how to light the beacons, even though I've already lit them. oops. Great game overall though!

CODE RGB by cogcomp 2026-04-21T21:25:43Z

Very ikaruga but in a super hackers-esque retro style, love it

Museum Maze Heist by yazara 2026-04-23T07:14:53Z

I do think a phase 2 would really help the game - let the player scope out the museum's layout and prepare an escape by cutting / opening barriers. The idea reminds me a lot of Monaco if you've played it. Either way, I still enjoyed the breezy heist, so good job :)

Heist Boss by Tony Li 2026-04-21T21:20:42Z

This is a super clever one and also a really good twist on the theme - I feel like there's a lot of potential here, but the puzzle solutions usually just come down to Inside Man -> Hacker -> Face -> Safecracker. I think the ability to re-trigger characters would allow for a lot more complex and varied puzzles. Still, really good job!

TRAPTOMB by fullmontis 2026-04-21T01:35:09Z

Fun use of the whole platform-swapping-when-you-jump mechanic seen in some platformers - putting it on a delay introduces a timing element thats really cool and fun to figure out. Good job!

Survey by mattlevonian 2026-04-21T07:44:41Z

Really cool little game, I had fun trying to figure out the signals for the 1 and 2 planets, before getting totally messed up by the 3 planets, lol. Great job!

PING by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2026-04-21T01:47:32Z

Cute little game with great pixel art - reminds me of UFO 50 for some reason beyond just a general retro-game style. Good job!

TellyBuddy by ColeSlaughter 2026-04-23T01:19:40Z

AWESOME. I don't have much else to say, just super funny & entertaining the whole way through. I loved it.

Signal Steve by Isaac Hisey 2026-04-22T01:59:48Z

Fun puzzler! As others have said this is a good educational game for how waves work, and also that I think it should be stated that you can interact with doors to see the signal 'cause I also got stuck on that for a bit lol. Good job!

Fillmore's Island by Jeremy Ryan 2026-04-21T07:28:34Z

#1 FILLMORE FAN 2026

Peter's divine intervention by metalgear 2026-04-21T05:45:01Z

Weirdly offputting? but in a good way, something about the music choice, which I feel was the intention. Figuring out the different quirks of the family was fun, even if it was a bit unclear what the danger range for some of them were. Good job overall!

Flirting 101 by OadT 2026-04-21T05:09:29Z

Honestly super clever - it started off simple the whole bit about sending signals to yourself in order to move opens up a super interesting wrinkle and I feel like there's a lot of potential to expand on it! Also I love the trio of flirting: I like you, I hate you, BLAST WAVE. Good job!!!

Space Record Studio by kayrum 2026-04-21T22:16:03Z

DUUUUDE FELLOW MUSIC MIXING GAME, this one is super cool! The art is great and cozy and the different music stems all work super well together. Honestly one of the best jam games I've played so far!

The Union by GeraldFIngBurke 2026-04-22T06:25:15Z

Really cool and a lot of depth - but man is there a lot going on managing all those cities at once! I got overwhelmed pretty quickly, but tried my best. Still though, really awesome game, you did a great job!

Signal Slip by Julester 2026-04-23T02:48:05Z

Beat the whole thing and loved it! The theme and vibes were both really great, and the camera fuckery was super cool, especially the GTA-Stunt-Cam one. I will say the cat DID lead me into a bush during the last level (I think the second-to-last right turn gets signalled a bit soon, but then again I was going slow) but I was able to clear it on the second try. Love this, one of my favorite games I've played during the jam so far, great job!

Lit Up! by Fis 2026-04-21T21:58:34Z

Fun short game! Contrary to other feedback, I like being able to jump on the same wall over and over, reminds me a lot of Super Meat Boy - just wish it was a bit more consistent :P Great job!

SpaceRider by BlueCalx 2026-04-21T21:38:33Z

Really strange & fun runner game, death noise caught me off guard lol

Singing Space CEOs by Jack Maxwell 2026-04-20T23:12:43Z

Funny ass game - that dude with the banjo has an uncanny ability to stop playing as soon as I hit record though, lol

LiNX Elektrika by Cardboard Box 2026-05-06T06:36:14Z

Was looking for something from this jam to put up on my perler wall, and I think I found it! Very cute game, great job :) Screenshot 2026-05-05 233531.png

Digital Squirm Processing by GuyUnger 2026-05-07T05:33:01Z

Really really cute game, though I will say immediately reaching for my MIDI keyboard might have been a bit presumptious of me for a jam lol. Great job!!!

LowSignal by Twaerd 2026-05-03T08:03:12Z

It said short little walk through the woods, and I got a short little walk through the woods. Good job :)

TURN SIGNALS by Sthor726 2026-04-21T05:38:02Z

Simple gameloop but with a lot of style and polish, love the vibes, good job!

FIRE WALK WITH ME by Fadex 2026-04-23T04:03:53Z

THIS ONE ROCKED, I dug the visuals so much (the way everything parallaxed around was awesome) and the tension built throughout the week is really good. Love it.

MIXLAKE by Raivk 2026-04-21T00:36:11Z

VERY COOL, VERY VIBEY. This is super well done & well polished and collecting the tapes scratches my brain in the right way. Definitely gonna try and make time later to collect more of them! Amazing job!!!

High Rollers by HardyTryer 2026-04-21T20:45:32Z

Really really fun, feel like the difficulty should ramp more over time, but overall really good!

Crat by deadroach 2026-04-26T03:33:19Z

I upgraded my rat spitting so much that I began emitting a solid beam of rats 10/10

Taos Research Project by YogurtTheHorse 2026-05-03T07:12:38Z

A really cool incremental! I like the positional aspect of it, though I will say it took me a while to realize I could move the viewfinder; by the time I figured it out I had already gone exponential, so as soon as I set some radars outside of the starting zone, I found all 10 pictures instantly, lol. Great job!

Pied Typer by No Grapes Games 2026-04-23T02:37:40Z

simple and short but I enjoyed it, typing out musical notes is a clever twist on a regular typing game!

Coo-Coo, Chef! by poboy 2026-04-21T05:20:55Z

@awr and I played together and our feedback is mainly the same - I feel like you actually have the workings of a really funny, chaotic puzzle game if the randomness just gets toned down a tad! I started making plans for which birds I was gonna send where to do what, but that kinda fell apart once I realized that I couldnt actually send any of them to specific places or in specific directions :sweat_smile:

Still this is a really cool idea that I think is executed really well and with a lot of polish, so great job overall! also I accidentally sliced a bird in half but didnt screenshot so I guess his soul is destroyed forever sorry

Wave Rider by Sariiger 2026-04-21T20:47:10Z

Cute little game, fun implementation of the theme, good job!!

Resonance: Pulse of the Deep by Meemog 2026-04-21T01:57:28Z

Fun to explore, the spike hitboxes are a bit punishing but I made it through to the end, good work!

What's Up? UFO! by picross 2026-05-03T07:35:44Z

Awesome game, I loved the atmosphere and the chill gameloop of just collecting stuff as the UFO. I will say the ending seems to have bugged out for me... I got the prompt to fire the laser, and quickly purchased and fired it, but then the prompt just went away with no further instruction, along with me entering a sort of weird state where aliens would disappear when I got close (I was playing on web version, if this helps). Either way, I feel like I beat it and I still enjoyed the experience a lot. Great job overall!

Combo Cooker by WobbleBlocks 2026-04-23T04:31:16Z

A cooking deckbuilder is something I never really considered, but it makes a lot of sense - and also plays pretty well! The only thing I'd say is its a bit unclear how to make things sometimes, which I suppose is part of it, but there's fairly simple recipes like the egg in a basket that I could just never figure out. Tried Egg + Bread, Boiled Egg + Bread, Boiled Egg + Toast, Egg + Toast, nada, never knew how to make it, even though I feel like any one of those things could've been it. Also, I went infinite with cursed tokens because AFAIK they never increase in price but keep giving you more gold. I was making like ~$80 off of one toast.

Anyway, really good job, I enjoyed it a lot!

Badcaster Shneebly by Blue Pin Studio 2026-04-22T05:32:20Z

I really really like this one, but unfortunately ran into a bug on the final level where the happiness wouldnt decrease D:

I still played for a while and tried to do the best I could, confident to say I probably would have won at that point. Either way still really good, I enjoyed it a lot!

See Gnolls! by HolySparks 2026-04-22T02:43:06Z

Cute game! I will say, itd help to have the flags above each of the different regions - it was a bit awkward to figure them out the first time, even though I later realized that the flags just went in order :sweat_smile:

Great job!

Jammed! by bereg 2026-04-22T05:50:30Z

REALLY COOL ENTRY! I actually super liked the tank's controls, though I couldnt find the last enemy lol

The Transmitter by austinmerrick 2026-05-03T07:55:02Z

Really solid! The method of control and the various jammers remind me a LOT of flywrench for some reason - similar conceit going on. I would've liked to see more levels after all the gameplay elements get online, but other than that good job!

WaveForge by Enad96 2026-04-23T02:00:21Z

Australian The Witness in space, 10/10

Star Smuggler by Wolfox121 2026-04-21T02:10:31Z

Really well put together - though its a bit nebulous what you have to do with the face part; there were a couple times where I felt like I got it but was wrong, and was unsure how. I may just be dumb though. Great job overall!

Mixed Signals by universeflow 2026-04-21T22:06:57Z

Got to over 5k before I couldnt keep up, only thing I'd say is the timing window for the multi-key presses are a bit strict, feel like I gotta hit them all at the exact same time :P

Really well done overall though!

Winter Resort by Xarina777 2026-04-21T01:19:19Z

I love the character art, good job! I spent a minute or two trying to build up speed to clear the first hill before realizing there were stairs, lol.

Reaper: Savior of Souls by Link270 2026-04-23T03:49:27Z

Really stellar art on this one - and the gameloop of collecting souls and upgrading, while simple, is also really satisfying. Good job!!

packet_loss by NikaZ 2026-04-20T23:00:02Z

Cute & fun!! Once I realized that you can use your send/delete/verify slots to juggle packages that you dont necessarily want to send/delete/verify, the game really clicked for me. Good job!!

Hooked by echerry 2026-04-21T22:48:43Z

Despite the super oppressive atmosphere this is actually a really cute & relaxing game, I really like the inventory management aspect of the fishing & I think it has room to be expanded on. Great job!

Radiowaves by T90. 2026-04-21T22:53:35Z

cool game!

Cold Night by Janku 2026-04-22T02:37:27Z

Took me a few tries but I did it! Very cool game, awesome art.

Faros by Korpilintu 2026-04-20T23:51:49Z

Heads up - it seems like the embedded version on the LD page doesnt seem to load properly! I downloaded the windows version instead and had a good time solving the puzzles though - nice job!

Signal Blast: Alien Shooter by udfblr 2026-04-21T21:51:37Z

As others have said, the graphics are definitely the best part, but I was interested in the gameplay of downloading enemy signals & blasting them and wanted to see more!

Really short and cute, I loved it, the final boss made me laugh

Sun Wizard Stocking Gang by HadMatter00 2026-04-23T04:16:04Z

I LOVEEEED THIS, the style and charm are off the charts. I will say though, I feel like there's too many spells! At least, trying to memorize all of them to utilize them effectively is kind of a moot point - my winning strategy was to just memorize Fireball + Fire Wall and use those two on rotation, timing the wall whenever the enemy was about to attack and tanking any damage I took from the elemental mismatches. Still it was really tense and I only barely managed to win. Loved it overall, one of my favs from the jam for sure. Great job!

Square Hole by Kazuren 2026-04-21T00:27:44Z

Cute game, I enjoyed it! I hope square hole lady has found piece...

Sine Factory by oxnh 2026-04-23T03:22:48Z

Really cool game, but I feel like having to route everything through the oscilloscope in order to see it hurts the experience - I feel like all of the 'combiner' class parts should just have the oscilloscope built-in so that you can see how the signal is being affected with each step. As it is, the information is obfuscated behind a part that doesnt actually factor into the solution of the puzzle itself, and with the limited space you constantly have to remove and re-place things in order to fit it in and check what you're doing, which artificially makes all the puzzles feel much more complicated than they actually are.

Still though, I did really it, and I think the core idea is really strong. I also dug the music and visuals a lot. Good job!

Warden of the Depths by Alex de la Cour 2026-04-23T02:31:18Z

Cool game, but man, is it kinda brutal! The contact damage especially. I feel like the hitbox is larger than it should be - sometimes with the fire I'd die before my character visually collided with it. That being said this game is neat, good job!!

Call 4 Help! by ThatFirey 2026-04-23T01:05:26Z

Every time I realize a game is warioware my neurons begin firing at 5x speed

Really good job, I loved the art!!

hehe,cars by Neandi 2026-04-21T21:45:37Z

REALLY FUN! Super silly game, I love it, my only complaint is that I can't play as the rabbit :V

Great job!!

Federal Bureau of Dance by drainkid 2026-04-21T07:54:36Z

Thanks everyone for the kind words so far!!! With how much of a blitz this ended up being towards the end, I'm glad things apparently seem to have worked out!

Federal Bureau of Dance by drainkid 2026-04-21T07:57:28Z

@mattlevonian To be honest with you - I was tempted to add a few more enemy waves before the boss, but I was too worried about overstaying our welcome and decided to keep it short & sweet :sweat_smile:

Federal Bureau of Dance by drainkid 2026-04-21T08:03:34Z

@wexelsdev ah - sorry about that! glad you still enjoyed the game though. were you running it through a compatibility layer? sadly none of us have linux machines atm so we werent able to make a native build

Federal Bureau of Dance by drainkid 2026-04-21T17:18:29Z

@alexey-bobrovskiy Hmm, strange - was this a one time thing or repeated? Also, what OS are you on? Somebody else reported issues running this on Linux through a compatibility layer, so if you're also on Linux I may look into trying to bake a native build.

McFoley's by braktheman 2026-04-23T03:57:54Z

Really cute, though due to my personal biases it took me until the 4th customer to realize that all these psycopaths were ordering their burgers WITHOUT cheese. Also, what self-respecting establishment puts only ONE slice of cheese on a DOUBLE cheeseburger????

Great game!

Last Writes by orangeoceans 2026-04-21T21:35:23Z

God this is the most visually & atmospherically compelling game so far, but man those puzzles are hard! I think without the walkthrough it can be a little hard to sus out what exactly the objective is, which wouldn't be that much of a problem if it weren't for the limited life count. Still, really really great work, loved it overall.

AGENTS RHYTHM & RAID by Nadia Pixel 2026-04-21T07:38:52Z

6 seasons and a movie, please

Islandia by Derek Glennon 2026-04-23T04:36:22Z

Cute little game, liked it a lot!

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-04-23T01:36:24Z

I really really like the style here, sadly though I couldnt find that dang safe code after roaming around for 10 minutes and had to give up Dx

I still really enjoyed it though, it reminds me of luigi's mansion (for obvious reasons) but cuter and even funkier

FILE PLSM by Fenix131113 2026-04-23T02:54:26Z

Cool and funny, I enjoyed it a lot! My only real point of feedback is that the scanner range seems a bit small, so you can easily get screwed by going in the wrong direction a lot as you're not given info on where your next task is until you're already close to it. But overall it's a really well-put together game and I had a lot of fun!

Mission: Stop Transmission by ZedGame 2026-04-22T06:16:03Z

Cleared! Took me a bit to find the admin password, because when I opened the objectives panel I immediately moved it to the corner of the screen and didn't realize it was blocking the trash. Oops. Figured it out eventually though. Cool game!!!

Connect by BruceZoom 2026-04-23T02:24:42Z

Another incremental, and I really really liked this one! The positionally based aspects make this feel super different from other similar submissions to the Jam and I really enjoyed figuring out the best way to hook everything up. I also loved how the music progressed as you got further. My only real tripping point is that the pace kind of lags during the second section, before you get the repeater, but it picks back up again after that. Overall really well done!

Do-roidhicky by Jacobloon 2026-04-21T02:38:53Z

clocking in for my shift at the droidhicky corporation (really cool game!)

Dicebound by Derly 2026-04-21T07:15:22Z

Awesome game!

WEB DIVER by mshrmgirl 2026-04-21T21:02:22Z

Trippy as hell in the best way possible, love it, though I will say putting power towards the audio seems a tad useless compared to your other options lol

Light of the Beacon by Sergey Kuznetsov 2026-04-23T03:04:41Z

Good game! Having to predict ahead to where enemies will be in a few turns is simple but it adds a lot to the experience. Nice job!

Beacon Bound by Enryu Mirik 2026-04-22T02:15:40Z

Really cool - I dug the resource management, even if you get flooded with planks pretty quickly. I will say, the final objective of catching a ride on one of the boats is somewhat finnicky, and it has nothing to do with the amount of ropes you have, but just because you need to balance clearing a path for the boat while *also* leaving enough rocks to be able to swing to it, while still being able to catch it before it sails away. I eventually managed it though and won. Really great job overall though - I enjoyed this a lot!

RETURN//NULL by ShadyShade 2026-04-21T06:01:26Z

Moody as hell, despite the gameloop being pretty relaxed its stressful just 'cause of the cramped perspective and music. Really neat stuff.

LD59 SIGNAL STRIKE by GARYglhf 2026-04-21T22:30:34Z

Cool diagetic choice with destroying the signal radars - felt like I was being tricked, but it seemed like the more interesting thing to do so I went for it and was rewarded. Nice job!

Extremely Loud Frog Toy by peppersalt07 2026-04-21T21:54:37Z

YEAH YEAH KILL HIS ASS (great game!)

Stargazer by plutonicrock 2026-05-03T07:42:28Z

Really really stunning art!

No Response by Evgeniia Filonova 2026-04-23T04:20:06Z

okay this is a longshot but is this at all inspired by desktop dave, because Sam gives me the exact same vibe lmao

Tune by DeathandRepublic 2026-04-22T03:05:58Z

Really fun little jaunt and super atmospheric, I was gonna mention the lack of red crystals but I think using them only at the beginning and end was a cool choice. Only thing I'll say is I couldnt seem to get the yellow crystals to work - fired at them with the right color beam, but they never did anything. Still, great job overall!

DRAW!!! by Alpharius_003 2026-04-21T00:02:12Z

Cute art & fun game - though I will say level 3 is a pretty big difficulty spike :sweat_smile:

Bantam: Beyond the Nest by naru 2026-04-23T01:47:27Z

I love this style and I love bantam... I couldnt quite figure out how the tuner worked, I kept going to where it would blip but wouldnt find anything. I did manage to find a few planets just wandering around though. I loved the atmosphere and I enjoyed the game overall!

Beecon by Soleil 2026-04-23T03:14:26Z

Really cute game! The puzzles were simple enough to be fun but challenging enough to not be boring - though it did take me a second to figure out that I could use 'return to the hive' at any time rather than just after collecting pollen lol. Great job!

Signal Fish Tank by A HEROIC DOG 2026-04-23T03:34:12Z

Love the visuals on this one, letting the border of the window be the glass is a nice touch, leaving it open while I play other games :)

LOUD TOWN by qwesasuke 2026-04-21T01:28:26Z

Really impressed by all the polish on display here, the atmosphere actually put me on edge despite everything just being black-and-white pixel art lol. The way the monsters lunged at you totally freaked me out the first time it happened. Awesome job!!!

Signal Keeper by IndiePanda 2026-04-22T05:45:15Z

Cute robot, and nice atmosphere! I enjoyed my time playing this one

B.O.B.O by miles2099 2026-05-03T07:45:49Z

Cute and short little romp, I would die for bobo

SAVE OUR SOULS by steinhks 2026-04-22T02:30:03Z

Really great mood & atmosphere and I feel like I actually have somewhat of a grasp on morse code now, great game !!!

Fight By Wire by brawnyfrogmouth 2026-04-20T23:27:10Z

Cute game! I played a bit, but at some point the bullets the enemies were shooting at me seemed to break and fly offscreen super fast. Past that point they just stopped shooting at me entirely. It could just be my machine, but it might be something you wanna check out. Either way, I like it!

Crossed Wires by CrossSpark 2026-04-21T23:04:32Z

Dont be hard on yourself, this is good for a first entry!! Once I got the controls down (theyre a bit tricky) I was able to cruise through the puzzles and it ended up being pretty fun. Good job!

Also, FYI since its your first jam - the more of other people's games you rate and comment on, the more your game gets pushed up for other people to rate. You need at least 20 ratings to get a score, so try going and rating some other peoples' stuff!

Boba’s Love Story by ble 2026-04-21T05:28:30Z

i would die for boba

TrainguNut by takanoro 2026-04-21T06:33:58Z

Really clever idea, though I think the balance might be a tad off, just not enough resources to reliably triangulate things. I cleared the first level no problem several times, but would always use up all of my sticks on the second level without getting any blue zones. I think with a few more sticks it'd be totally fine. That being said I really dig the game overall, good atmosphere with a clever puzzle mechanic, well done!

Signal Nest (Done) by MuzzLove 2026-04-21T06:57:07Z

Actually really neat twist on a traditional incremental game - charting out the unknown and building things out spacially. Good atmosphere too. I really liked this!

phone home by ikado 2026-04-21T02:31:06Z

Nice little clicker game, reminds me a lot of Gnorp Analogue with all the dudes throwing themselves at the rock. Good job :)

Signals of God by Geeni 2026-04-21T21:12:22Z

Funniest one so far, and the surreal visuals were super fun, love it

Defend The Radar by Allexeee 2026-04-21T23:10:53Z

Short & sweet with an excessive amount of bullets (good), though the enemies get overwhelming pretty fast :sweat_smile:

No Signal West by Topling 2026-04-23T03:41:41Z

A frankly EXCESSIVE amount of zombies but I mean that in the best way possible. Mood and audio also really carries this - loved the main theme, and also how it ramped up in intensity with the horde. Unfortunate that you couldnt make the ending 'cause I wanted to play more! Great job!

MORSE SHOOTER by AstroAceOne 2026-04-23T02:59:55Z

Hey, you did really good for your first jam! Especially with all the polish you managed to put on. It's a fun and idea and it's executed well. Good job!

Read My Signal by Shivvvy 2026-04-22T02:52:38Z

Really cute, I love the art a lot, though I'm not sure how I feel about feeding so many people poop :v:

Good job!!

灯台の見守り — Lighthouse's Vigil by Tanjou 2026-04-21T06:26:47Z

cute and relaxing and creepy and stressful, really really well put together, though the difficulty really ramps hard at the end!

Lost Signal: Network Warfare by Gahlammon 2026-05-03T07:59:50Z

Interesting concept, and I'm surprised at how much you were able to flesh it out given the time. Good job!!

Signimal by FrowsyFrog 2026-04-21T22:02:55Z

Really really cute game, great job!

...when my hamsters all fell in a pit I screamed so loud :sob:

Small Among Storms by ShanzPro 2026-04-21T05:16:58Z

Super cute and atmospheric, I enjoyed that a lot :)

Intercept by paracorn 2026-04-21T06:11:17Z

Fun short clicker with great visuals, nice job :)

six winks by ouchyzapgun 2026-04-25T02:09:35Z

Took me a second to understand how to progress but once I did I really enjoyed it, love the mood, great job! :)

Schick by Ionax 2026-04-22T06:00:55Z

Fun game!!! The main mechanic is super clever, there's so many neat little wrinkles that I wanted to be expanded on, like more puzzles involving shooting yourself with the signal. But overall it was really enjoyable, great job!!

Unlucky Fields by Horsedetroia 2026-04-23T03:32:28Z

ah, and endless runner! I like the art on this one!
