Banana, Strawberry... I do not understand alien ๐ I agree that it would have been nice to not having to write things down on an actual paper, when it was already written on a paper in game. So that one can cross reference easier. Nice one! I like the mood.
I really liked it, nice one! Good dialogue and such cool graphics. Skรคrmbild 2026-05-07 222734.png
I was unable to pick up any signals, but had a nice sandy walk! Nice graphics!
Wow, very creative with the gameplay of decoding. Really unique and interesting. Skรคrmbild 2026-05-07 194139.png
The face in the sky added a lot of stress ๐ Very moody!
You win! โ๏ธ Well executed! I did not figure out that I could change the black dot into a color until the last map. Nice puzzles!
I was hooked! ๐ The cost of relays required mid-game(?) did not scale well with how much money one made - even with all the upgrades unlocked. Regardless I found it enjoyable!! Skรคrmbild 2026-05-07 190954.png
That was fun (and frustrating)! I did not feel super clever after rotating the same piece five times. Good job!
Really impressive to go with your own engine. And the game was well executed and fun!
02:53 ๐ Wow, super polished and fun. Great animations and overall feel.
I enjoyed the visual design. The game mechanics seemed a bit random, but I see potential.
Lots of fuel left! ๐ Simple and fun! Skรคrmbild 2026-05-03 165018.png
Victory! I tried attacking them from behind, and in the end our fleets had switched places ๐ Nice one!
Clicker games are always satisfying ๐ I did not fully grasp the concept, but it is an interesting take to combine idle games with fail conditions
Welcome to LD! It took a few tries to understand, but I got the hang of it. Good job! Skรคrmbild 2026-05-03 162903.png
Very polished. I like the cute / stressful combination ๐
The boss took five attempts, but it worked out in the end! Skรคrmbild 2025-04-21 224711.png
I really enjoyed the game loop - very satisfying to break the nuggets!
Great mood! I agree that the can collection game loop gets a bit repetitive. I'm impressed by the music and graphics!
Wow, that was hard - I also encountered quite a bit of lag spikes that killed me. Not sure it that was only on my end. Realistic black holes, that you cannot get away from if you get too close ๐
Many rotations later ๐ Skรคrmbild 2025-04-21 221223.png
Even if it was a bit hard to control, I really enjoyed it! Good thing the torpedo explosions had a generous radius, as i was pinned to the bottom by two swordfish.
Wow, impressive puzzle. Really cool to involve infinity.
I enjoyed that very much! Nice and relaxing game!
Nice mood! It took a while for me as well to understand how to apply the upgrades. Hectic! ๐
Cute game, and easy to understand! ๐ I agree with earlier comment - that when only a few are left, it would be helpful to show hints about their location, to avoid frustration.
Skรคrmbild 2025-04-19 171723.png I am Dorf King!
Very enjoyable! ๐ Upgrade mechanics are so fun.
The controls felt very submarine - like ๐, and the mood was great. ๐. I also liked the sonar effect. The 'bad' fish did not feel very intimidating - they felt kind ๐ I liked the narrow natural passages more than the grid like passages in the end. The latter felt man-made, which was a bit out of place in an exploration game. Good job!
644m! Super polished for a compo - well done with the immersion (screen shake and such). I also enjoyed "Faster!" ๐
Great mood and graphical style. I liked the variation of creatures!
Great atmosphere, I got flashbacks to rescue rangers on NES ๐ rr.png
We don't talk about the Roomba incident ๐ Great atmosphere!
Soo cute and well made ๐ I did get slightly nauseous from the parallax, not sure why.
Victory! Games like this where you can stack power-ups are so satisfying! Nice graphics!
Skรคrmbild 2024-10-20 213406.png
The 'let it pour(?)' upgrade was fantastic. I ended up with almost no cooldown time. ๐ I had fun! Nice one.
Half of my events turned out being bugs wanting to join, such a friendly place! Nice one!
Cute game, I liked having to figure out the game mechanics without much guidance - it added to the mysterious feeling.
Oh no! ๐ถ Cute game!
Skรคrmbild 2024-10-07 171258.png
Super solid game. Both frustrating and fun!
Skรคrmbild 2024-10-07 010708.png
I really enjoyed it! Both challenging and fun. I'm impressed that you reached this level of polish in Compo - well done!
Impressive for a Compo! My minions sure liked sitting on top of each other - cozy! ๐
Super creative! I almost reached the top on the last level - but the cubes had a mind of their own ๐
Oh that was stressful ๐ Cute game! It was really hard to plan due to the random items.
Impressive amount of features and quality of graphics for a compo! I was not able to complete the game due to science buildings draining their durability super-quick - the shield did not seem to protect from that.
Beautiful - it captures the stressful lives of butterflies ๐
Nice one! I really like this type of swarm mechanics, if one can call it that ๐
Nice consistent graphic style. My time was 44 ๐
I got flashbacks to Startropics. ๐
Such nice text effects!
Cute game! ๐ Impressive that you have language and sound settings!
It worked well! Cute little creatures, too bad they all somehow fell into the void ๐
Nice use of shaders!
I was not able to figure out the dependencies between the towers - but I liked the "shadow of war" for the unexplored areas - it added a lot of atmosphere.
I almost felt bad when my robots raided their homes ๐ It was hard to defend the radars, I guess that is why one should keep a few robots on hand.
Good one! I really liked the turret upgrade system.
A very enjoyable experience! ๐ Would have loved for my troops to follow me or similar, but I understand that some of the puzzle mechanic of the game would have been lost in that case.
Skรคrmbild 2023-10-19 001448.png
Wow, so many nice objects. I'm not sure why the shower cabin is in the main room - I might not be a licensed interor planner. ๐
Great atmosphere! I really liked the car lights leaving trails. 22.8s - by spinning out the AI ๐
It was very skill based - especially the archer - for this type of game, which is refreshing. Impressive complexity for a game jam submission!
Fun game! ๐ 3200 was my best, after a couple of rounds.
Nice one, i can relate to the feeling ๐
Skรคrmbild 2023-10-18 234431.png 38 Parcels delivered! Quite stressful ๐ Nice job on the game, it worked well.
Wow, it is so very cute! Great job with the graphics!
I must have spent half an hour collecting wood ๐ Very enjoyable.
I like the style, it gave me a flashback to Super Cars II. The car however felt a little bit too explodey ๐ - or perhaps I was a bit too impatient.
Nice one! It was easy to get greedy after many successful fights - it was my demise ๐
Cozy game! I enjoyed it. It was easy to end up with bad pieces though. But maybe that is a skill issue ๐
Nice one! I felt like i was playing with four dimensions ๐ I think I almost made it through level 1. The character was cute ๐
The game worked well! ๐ It could have done with a fast forward button - there was a lot of downtime.
I really enjoyed this one and kept upgrading my ship until there was no challenge left ๐ Great concept, I have not seen a similar game before.
Space drifting is super fun! Until you over estimate your drifting skills, and kill your fans. Lovely graphical direction!
I love laser mirror games, such nostalgia. This one was very well executed - but I agree that timing was short on the double-hit levels. Superb art style!
Impressive amount of functionality for a Compo! Well done. Fun addition of the "R" animation ๐
Good job, I found it really enjoying and would have kept playing for much longer. Lots of potential to extend on this type of game.
I have never before seen a combination of "Getting Over It" and "Snakes & Ladders" ๐ Super innovative! Also rage inducing - but that comes with the genre. Superb graphics.
154 points! Good thing i practiced rapidly pressing buttons in Track & Field on the NES. Nice job - quite stressful ๐
Cute game, I liked how you changed the light depending on the biome - You managed to add a lot of polish into the game with such limited time. Good job ๐
Great design! Both audio and graphics.
I have no idea how the other people playing got such high scores ๐ To me the game felt a lot like "Getting over it" ๐
Wow that got hard fast, 1672 points ๐ Well executed! I like the graphical design!
I got nowhere near your highscore, but still enjoyed it. I liked the altitude 'minimap'. Having an indication on where the drop points were could also have been a nice addition.
Nice little game, it worked well - except i got stuck in corners a couple of times. But that could have been due to my driving skills ๐
Oooh, I really like the bobbing heads - not sure where my nostalgia for that comes from tough. ๐ Really well polished, I enjoyed it!
Nice one, I like this type of game. The drone was not really impacted by the weight of the cargo - adding that aspect might have made it even more interesting.
Quality animations! Questionable ending ๐
Stressful until you figure out the pattern in each level ๐ Nice puzzle game!
It got super hard without the lines. Good job with the physics, and feel of the game!
You have satisfied Banana ๐ Great concept of getting friends in crates to help you. The feeling of running around in a gang of eight was great ๐
It looks fantastic - you really captured the CRT look ๐ Gameplay wise it felt a bit like a walking simulator.
Good job with the animations! I liked that the clouds got darker until they struck.
Cute game! Good job. I agree with others that the truck felt a bit too heavy - it made controlling it hard.
Nice one! Very challenging - reminded me of Super Meat Boy.
Nice atmosphere! I love the concept - I had some issues as others have mentioned. But the gist of the game is great! Would definitely play it if it was developed further.
Flappy bird and Elastomania had a child ๐ Nice work - hard but not too hard to control.
Really impressive physics and graphics for a game jam game!
The interactive novel offers a compelling and immersive way to explore these types of challenging issues that, regrettably, continue to impact numerous lives around the world. By drawing readers into the narrative, you effectively foster a deeper understanding and empathy, prompting further reflection on these complex societal problems. โค๏ธ
I also had some issues with being killed by invisible enemies ๐ Otherwise the game worked well. Nice one!
Nice graphical design! ๐ I was not sure if the goal was number of total stars, or average rating. So I did two runs - one trying to get the best rating, and one trying to get the maximum number of stars ๐
Nice one! The game got interesting when one was required to open the boxes as well ๐ On my last day I managed to classify 13 boxes ๐ More progression would have kept the game alive longer.
That was fun to play! I would have loved to be able to use the scrap in some way ๐ Score 8150
Impressive that you managed to create such an intricate system is such short time!
Nice concept! Way to hard for me ๐ Nice color palette!
Nice puzzle game! Took me a while to realize that the output of the harvested had to be above the storage ๐
Wow, impressive amount of content for compo. Fun core gameplay with drag and drop of water and fertilizer ๐
Nice interface design with the floating popups ๐
Nice mechanic with the monsters looping back around when they are pushed off the map, it suprised me the first time ๐
A real feelgood game, until the slugs attacked ๐ I liked the setting and humor ๐ Good job, I enjoyed it.
I would have loved more levels, which is a testament to good game design ๐ The simplistic graphics added to the experience ๐ - it lets your brain fill out the details.
I agree that the minimap feature added a lot to the game ๐ I like games like this where you save up money for progression ๐ I made it all the way to the cannon ๐
Cozy game! Nice text animations in the intro ๐ I reached level 5 - at which point it got a bit repetitive. Would have loved to be able to spend my money on anything, even if it was purely decorative ๐ I'm impressed by your achievement, and welcome back to Ludum Dare. I hope you will be able to take part in the next one as well!
Soo rewarding with the constant upgrade selections ๐ I was really enjoying myself - too bad I finished it. ๐
Nice job! I liked the use of the secondary camera ๐
Nice one! Really hard, I was rarely able to dodge the shots ๐. I liked the graphical style.
Wow, those were some hungry sharks! ๐ The game worked well! I liked the 10s air bubble concept.
Nice one, it worked well! The tank design reminds me of Battle City, a game I have fond memories of ๐.
Cute little game ๐ , I liked the design of the health and mana bars.
Nice graphical style - it had a great arcade game feel to it. Also the enemy flying patterns were satisfying. Aiming was a bit hard, but I made it to the end ๐
It took quite a while to understand what was going on, but I managed to finish the game ๐ Nice one - the game loop felt good!
I got 8763 - maybe to due to RNG ๐ It was stressfull that the enemies grew stronger and the gun got weaker. Good controls ๐
Nice concept! 192s was my best run. Reading the cards whilst the enemies were attacking got real stressful ๐
The game worked well! I managed to survive, as the end text said - tough working conditions for those who fail at the job apparently. ๐ I felt bad for all the journalists whose stories I had to leave out ๐
The game worked well! 125 gifts wrapped - it got real intense in the end. Innovative game mechanic with the method for wrapping!
Wow, really polished with the leg movements and screen shake. ๐ I liked it! The drone movement patterns made them feel alive.
Nice tower defence game! Keeping the critters from the core proved very difficult. ๐
The game worked well! Cute viruses ๐
Loved the menu system ๐ very innovative! Got really busy when three blocks started dropping.
Loved it! It was really fun to master the patterns! And amazing graphical style. Got the hammer ๐
Wow, impressive for 48 hours dev time! Soo much running until I understood the game mechanics ๐
The game worked well - I tried hard to get 5 items loaded on the same ship, but failed ๐. My best score was 110.
I got all the upgrades and collected 500 eggs. It would have been cool to have some kind of ultimate upgrade to strive for. Otherwise great job on this one ๐
Good work on this one. Solid execution! As previously mentioned - animations would have added a lot in terms of understanding where the cars were headed from/to. But I understand that it would have been quite time consuming ๐
Good job! I was fully immersed in the game. Which is rare for gamejam-games ๐ It was stressful not knowing much about how the items were meant to be used, but that also brought me back to how adventure games back in the days worked. You would try every item with every situation to figure things out ๐
The second grim reaper made me jump when it appeared ๐ Great mood ๐
Impressive for a first compo game :) I managed to juggle 15 plants, until it got too intense for me. I see in your code that you had plans for watering as well ๐. That would possibly have added some variation into the game. Beautiful 3d models!
I loved the city-building aspect. I would have played many more times if some of the progress carried over to the next round.
Good work on the high score list. It made me replay the game multiple times. I ended up with 296s (name: 'wow') ๐ It got easier after I figured out Cloud Shepherds movement patterns :)
Great polish for a 48h game! You even had time for some Easter eggs :) The web version worked well for me.
That Orca really caught me by surprise ๐ It managed to gobble down the whole snowman squad. Great atmosphere, and impressive menu system.
Good work. Great into and scene transitions, and I Love the knight. The puzzles could do well with some clues - as I did not understand that the objective was to destroy the wall.
Interesting concept! I made it to round 42. It took a while to figure out the mechanics.
Made it into the leaderboards on the third try ๐ The variation of the building blocks added to the fun.
Super solid game! I managed to finish it on my second try โ๏ธ As others have commented - some kind of warning/visual effect when you are close to reaching critical instability would have been helpful. I'm impressed by the audio track - great work on that.
Great physics, I liked the floating and bobbing platforms. I agree that the bullets were unforgiving, it would have been nice to have the camera zoomed out a bit so that planning jumps and avoiding bullets was easier.
Solid gameplay and I liked the graphics. Some kind of progression would have added a lot to the game.
Nice one! This gave me flashbacks to docking maneuvers in Kerbal Space Program. The controls for such maneuvers are similarly confusing here and in that game, but that is a part of the fun. I ended up waiting for more donuts to spawn, which was not super satisfying - they could spawn as soon as there are none in orbit to increase the pace a bit.
Nice concept - I have not seen anything quite like it before. If there were more levels I would still be playing. The abstract graphics worked well.
Extremely creative! This will game will rank high. I liked the explanations placed next to graphical elements.
Nice use of dialogue systems. And I managed to save the guy!
Nice concept. I like the music! Had some issues with the marble moving behind the camera.
Sweet game, I really felt the stress of raising children :D Good thing they all made it.
Very nice, I liked that they tainted the nature :) Managed to defeat 18 of them. It would have been rewarding to have a sound when you hit them.
I liked the exploding barrels and stopwatches!
Great mood and graphics! I placed a beacon on the far left and far right and spammed robots. That seems to be the best strategy .
Wow! The parts about giving up on things to reach the goal was genius. Especially the stars!
Great mood and graphics. The game was extremely fast on my machine, it was not humanly possible to dodge the asteroids. Or maybe that is by design and you are a Jedi.
I liked how the light revealed the level. You could use polygon colliders for the spikes instead of box colliders. It was hard to jump over them when the colliders where square whilst the spikes were triangular.
Great art and music. For me the gameplay was very confusing. I did manage to make some progress after a while though :) The game worked fine on my machine (Windows). Nice to see other engines than Unity being used.
The game was not able to start, see screenshot. No ratings given. FatGuySim.png
UnityLoader.js:3 Invoking error handler due to Uncaught RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds
Windows 10 Home 64 bit, Intel i7, 32Gb RAM
I'm not sure I would call this a game as there is only one outcome - rather art. It has a great message regardless. It worked well!
Worked like a charm, and great music! With some knockback on the zombies, shooting and hitting them would have been even more rewarding. Also some kind of boss or endgame would have been nice - I did not know what to do with all of the 'BP' after getting the shotgun. And also - nice dialogue system!
The game worked great! Here are some thoughts - Enemies spawned inside of me, they could have do with some animation to prepare you so that you can move out of the way. - Great graphical style - The most optimal way to play the game was to stand still in a corner. I would like to have been required to move around.
The game worked great!
Some random thoughts; - The difficulty could ramp up quicker - The GUI elements on the bottom covers the enemies - Great artwork - Enemies could be themed by their element instead of carrying a symbol over their head
Nice game. Very hard to complete on the first run due to the traps appearing - but I guess that is a part of the game.
Very nice concept! I completed a pacifist run :)

Super cute and very clever mechanic and puzzles. Impressive! I seriously though there was no solution a couple of times before I figured out the levels.

Really nice puzzle game with great progression in difficulty! Good thing I had practice from the tabletop game Robo Rally ๐ I got stuck on level 11 for a good while. The walk-through was helpful for that one.

Nice polish! I am impressed that you had time to make a tutorial as well. The spread shots were very rewarding ๐ And the arrows showing incoming waves were a good decision.
