LD35 — Shapeshift

FeedTheBeast by xclementx 2016-04-18T18:15:00

Doesn't work for me for some reason :/

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Surge by 8BitPimp 2016-08-29T21:48:00

The soundtrack is really awesome, best I have heard in a while. But I had a problem with moving, the arrow keys didn't work for some reason.

Old N' Fashioned? by tomer_cool 2016-08-29T21:39:00

I really like the sounds of the game.

Fallen into time by MaximumIllusion 2016-08-30T20:12:00

This looks really nice, is really atmospheric and I really like the sounds. The puzzle gameplay is not too frustrating or simple. Good work!

Highly-Accurate Shepherd Simulator by Pix3M 2016-08-29T21:58:00

Cool art, everything looks crisp and clean. Mechanic is fun also. There are multiple sheep and wolves getting killed at all times. Got used to all the death around me quick. :D

TBFTWOR_LD36 by joemid 2016-08-30T18:52:00

I really like the foggy and cold atmosphere in this game.

LD39 — Running out of Power

Defend Home: Mars by sgt3v 2017-08-02T12:58:20Z

Not bad for a compo entry! The graphics looked good. I really liked the sound effect of health and ammo, made me feel good about picking those up. Also the zoom in to the planet at the beginning felt really awesome and was nice for immersion, helped a lot for feeling that you really were on mars. It was clear what I had to do there. The generator lights design was great and it was easy to spot them from far away. The only downside would be that the game didn't bring anything new, it is really a typical first person shooter/ tower defender. But everything that was in the game, worked. (y)

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Slime Laboratory by Jimbly 2018-12-05T15:37:37Z

I like how everything in this game is connected and managing resources is quite fun. Really solid game jam game. The game is well polished and I didn't run into any bugs. There should be background music too, it would make it perfect. I have spent the most time playing this(comparing to other games I tried on this gamejam) The slimes look cute and I can imagine them tasting like gummy candy. :D

Ursa by Maksym 2018-12-05T11:49:00Z

The cute music and the graphics gave me Stardew Valley vibes. Really impressive that you had time to make art for everything, including the menu and pointer. Really good ease in with learning the controls level by level. The platforming was quite hard and the double jump didn't seem to work all the time which made the game a bit frustrating. Luckily the levels were short and you didn't have to lose too much of the progress. Innovation was the weakest point of this entry, it is a quite standard platformer but all the effects made it a bit more special feeling. But other than a few problems, it was quite perfect! Good job.

Party Card Game by red 2018-12-19T22:51:05Z

The graphics are really nice! It is a bit too simplistic to be too much fun yet but I do see a lot potential in it. Would be awesome with a smart AI playing against you, some more stats and maybe an option to change cards in the last seconds(both opponent and you). Overall, really nice job!

Ethic in the machine by Toulou 2018-12-05T20:51:32Z

The idea is really good, looks simple and neat. Could've used some beeping sounds or a space station background humming for the atmoshphere. Would like a full game like this with some different endings. :)

Claude Van Clamme Presents: Lambs to the Slaughter Temple of Gods Edition by soldierbear 2018-12-05T12:47:47Z

Day four: I was going to have a nice day at the office today, sacrificing humans. I took a look at the paper and saw that King Octo was really hungry for fresh brains. I looked at all the card packs.. Sorry.. That smart guy from house Lanners had to go. So took up the stamp and.. I COULD NOT STAMP HIM. THE STAMP WONT ROTATE AT THE RIGHT ANGLE AAARGH! I paniced and threw the stamp on all the cards, everything fell off the table and I couldn't find that guy again. I sobbed, finished my day without sacrificing anyone and gave up my job./// Thanks, I had a laugh. The game is hilarious and heavily frustrating but I enjoyed it. I could not think of any other reason why you had to put rotating different items in the game than make it really awful/hilarious. In all seriousness, I really liked the strategy part of the game and had fun. The tutorial was a bit long to read and there were few minor bugs but this is still my fav submission so far in this game jam.

ICATUS and the Golden Ball of Yarn by freakoftheyear 2018-12-11T02:18:36Z

Thank you so much everybody for playing and commenting! I am glad you enjoyed it! Also, lots of really great feedback to improve on!❤ 🐱 ❤

Hide n Seek by iggythegrifter 2018-12-05T15:53:15Z

Games are a really good way to tell stories. I know some people wouldn't call "walking simulators" games. I think you should continue making more this type of storytelling interactive media. :) I really like how limited the color palette was, shows how little you need to paint a picture in a persons head. It would maybe need some background sound as well. The retro style went together with the nostalgic childhood theme.

GameJam Sacrifices by playball 2018-12-05T14:23:58Z

Really nice idea, reminding you not to take gamejams too extremely. The graphics are nice and vibrant. At first I didn't really understand what the winning conditions were. After a few tries I understanded that getting the game progress bar to the end without running out of others weren't the end goal. So you had to sacrifice your project a bit more than other things. Anyways a solid gamejam game and I hope you will make some more in the future. Also, the cat is cute ;)

Point & Sin - Ludum Dare 43 edition by Simanis 2018-12-05T18:56:08Z

A normal business trip. On my free moment, I took a nice walk under a lava-fall. Admired the burning views from the bridge made of skulls. Tried to get my pride-game strong. For work I had to fight some huge flying skulls and some crazy bitches. Tried to replace my arms with a lot of dead fallen off ones. Walked on boobs. Lovely atmosphere, nice warm place. 9/10 would visit hell again.

Accept this Offering by xPheRe 2018-12-05T14:52:54Z

Really nice game! I like the the dark minimalistic style and mood the most. Visualizing different situations in life through level design is a really great idea. The puzzles were really interesting too. I found out I had to collect the right amount of lives/points to get to the end quite late into the game so at first I was quite confused why I had to collide with the enemies some times and some times I couldn't. Overall, really impressive! Did you make the music yourself?

Cult Village by stellaryyan2 2018-12-05T11:21:42Z

Cute pixel graphics with a dark twist. The gameplay was hard to understand at first and the sounds were a bpt repetitive but music set the mood well. but everything kind of worked. Solid game jam game, buying upgrades is always a fun mechanic to have. Theme on point.

How to feed your dragon by Evgeniya Zapolnova 2018-12-05T14:05:22Z

Nice game! Only thing that it needs more is a challenge - increasing difficulty. Maybe the dragon would need to eat more princesses in less time. The sounds were quite funny. Especially the prince that got crushed. Overall it was really simple and amusing.

Mr. Island by Jantaaa 2018-12-09T14:33:41Z

Looks really good, animations are smooth and the atmosphere is great. I really love the small details like the different faces of the island and the water/clouds moving.

LD44 — Your life is currency

SACRIFIGHTS by Lumpy 2019-05-01T21:08:58Z

Omg, the graphics and the voice/music is so good! For some reason the atmosphere reminds me a bit of of Commander Keen. Really lovely pixel art - the colors, pixelart and UI. The colors are great. :)

LD45 — Start with nothing

Amor Fati by starvingindie 2019-10-09T17:25:56Z

This was really simple and cute! Keep doing these kind of things, you might be onto something!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Another Bloody Day by Flipsy 2020-04-25T18:12:52Z

I love the contrast between cutesy art style and the funny frustrated story.

Trap-o-mancy by karreg 2020-04-21T15:30:10Z

I love the puzzle mechanics and music. Really awesome gameplay, would love to play a full game, hope you will continue making this. It was a bit too hard at first so it would be nice to ease player into the game more slowly and introducing the player different cards and effects in a slower pace. Anyways, really good job on the game!

Manual Breathing by legavroche 2020-04-25T18:37:16Z

The mechanics of breathing during running is great!

Manual Breathing by legavroche 2020-04-25T18:41:55Z

I started manual breathing myself too. Also, it reminds me of Cave Chaos.

My BFF! Glorpol! by xel 2020-04-25T18:45:44Z

I love the atmosphere, it is awesome! Love the visual and audio design. Also it is quite funny!

NeBROmancer by Racso 2020-04-25T19:12:03Z

I love the style of this. Also, the mechanics are quite interesting. 9/10 would nebromance again.

Ballad of the Bard by Filip Bergkvist 2020-04-21T15:12:21Z

I loved playing it! Best entry so far that I have seen. I love the colors and pixel art. Also gameplay was amazing. The game didn't work correctly for me in the web build but the downloaded vesion worked really well. I did get stuck at one part and didn't understand the mechanics correctly but if I got past that then it was really nice and challenging but fun.

Ballad of the Bard by Filip Bergkvist 2020-04-21T23:14:54Z

On the web version, the game didn't start, nothing appeared in the level(only the guy and nature, no sticks/bears) and it just said game over after some seconds. The tutorial worked fine but the main game didn't start after tutorial and from menu either. All of that worked on the downloaded version.

Goblin Adventure by DrSkort 2020-04-21T15:50:02Z

Super cute art and music. ^^ Gameplay is quite simplistic reaction based so nothing new there but overall wery solid jam game. Everything worked well.

Keep the Love Alive by notapixelstudio 2020-04-25T20:01:11Z

Really cute game. Love the color palette! Also the gameplay is really cute. I like games with co-op and no violence. You should continue making the game, would play a version with more levels and story.

Meal to Kill by spidamoo 2020-04-21T14:03:24Z

I like that you added different levels and challenges, I had fun playing this! Simple but good.

Faire L'Amour aux Plantes by Jenny Bourke 2020-04-25T18:18:18Z

Very weird but amusing :)

Heart of the Dungeon by BelindaTesiGames 2020-04-25T19:03:53Z

I love the sound effects and feel of this. The idea is good too!

Keep this heart alive by Apandso 2020-04-21T14:12:30Z

I love the graphics, looks amazing! It was a bit hard to click on the right time though, didn't fully understand when i had to do it so spamming it worked the best.

Order of The Phoenix by Arvuti 2020-04-21T16:41:42Z

The music and art is awesome and cute. The stiff snake made me laugh so thanks for that. The shooting wasn't very intuitive but when I got used to it, it worked. Items disappeared when I pressed E so I lost my items many times for spamming the action key (I'm a bit trigger happy). The game looks really amazing for a jam game!

How to Air by kwaku 2020-04-25T19:44:34Z

I love the art and atmosphere, sounds. It is a really cute game!

Carrying the Sun by vidim888 2020-04-21T17:03:24Z

I liked the platform making mechanics and using it to light up the level. It would be really cool if the main character would be Ra :)

BEATSMITH by Patsui 2020-04-21T22:34:40Z

The web build is really laggy and out of sync but overall I really loved the visuals and humor of the game.

Shapes by Finn_Tr 2020-04-25T19:33:02Z

Seems a bit hard but really good atmosphere! Goes well with the theme and the music is really relaxing. SHINY!

Finterior Decorator by illuminegames 2020-04-25T20:05:42Z

Cute fish! Love the graphics.
