Amazing game, love the implementation of the theme. Really cute art and great soundtrack that adds a lot to the experience.
Super polished game. Amazing graphics and sound. Simple mechanics while still being a challenging game. Amazing job
Fun and simple game! Took me a little bit to figure out how to dash but was a nice polished game. Good job!
Cool idea and was really fun for the first bit, however it didn't progress anywhere. Some background music would be nice to help drown out the constant explosion sounds. Really amazing graphics though, good job!
Pretty relaxing just watching them go about. love the idea, but it didn't feel like the dna cards had a huge impact, or at least I couldn't figure it out. Good job though, really good graphics and I like the sound effects.
Super polished game. Love the lighting and graphics. Audio was soothing and calm. Overall amazing game
Amazing game, I love the puzzle design. Art work is really good, as well as the sound effects and the music. Overall extremely impressive!
Love the idea and the gameplay! Music was also amazing. Such a cool concept and it was really fun to play
Really fun game! Feels like an easy to learn, hard to master game that I could find myself spending hours trying to get the fastest times.
Crazy fun game. Looks amazing and the sound effects and music make the game even better. Love the level design and the inclusion of Pierre's highscore. All around amazing game
Music fits the theme, adds a lot of tension and stress. Sometimes the UI is hard to read when it flashes white but overall a cool game
A little frustrating at first, but once I figured it out, became pretty fun! Wish there was a soundtrack, but overall a really good job! Consider changing the resolution on itch.io, the game extended below my screen and I could jump on the rocks there, even though I couldn't see them.
Nice typing game, however gets repetitive extremely fast. The lack of variation in words made it very easy. It also felt like the game didn't get any faster or harder? Good job though!
Took a little bit to figure out exactly how it worked but was pretty fun once I figured it out. Really like the art style!
Really like the frog sound effects! Fun simple game.
Really fun, unique game? Simple mechanics but the level design was really good. Overall a solid game, good job!
Love the graphics, it looks amazing! Wish there was some audio but it's a really cool game regardless.
Amazing stuff! Fantastic idea with gorgeous artwork. Also love the music and sound effects, very well polished game!
Cool art! I love how the bullets and explosions look. Some more progression would be nice and the movement didn't feel super smooth, but great job all around!
Really cool! I love the ability to fast forward/speed up time, would be nice if I could toggle it instead of having to hold down F though.
Cool idea! Much like everyone else, I had bugs where the game would freeze for a while. The pathfinding at times would bug out as well, making it walk back and forth for a little bit. Sound effects were nice at first, but they quickly became repetitive and annoying. I also wish the prices of the stations were shown. I really like the idea, and with some polish this would be really cool!
Really good work! I love the audio! I think it'd be cool if the sound effect for shooting was more of a bass kick sound! All around well done!
Really cute game! I feel like the physics could use a little work, sometimes a block would drop straight down but would still bounce around making it really unpredictable. All around good job!
Cool game! Polished, simple and fun! Well done!
Cool game! I managed to bug it out somehow, the dirty dishes were stuck underneath the clean dishes that were in the sink, and I couldn't move any clean dishes into the prep station. Music also fits really well, all around great job!
Cool concept! Was interesting at first when I was trying to figure out how the AI art engine worked until I realized it was completely random.
Really cute game! I love how you have to figure out all the recipes, good work!
Good stuff! Cool cutscene, nice sound effects. I also really liked how the controls were displayed at the beginning, unobtrusive but also very informative!
A nice easy to learn but hard to master game! Really enjoyed this game, I kept wanting to try again and again. Nice work!
Great game! I love how the clock gets knocked off the wall, and the purring makes it difficult to count! Great design choices! All around great entry!
Nice game! Something about the sound of a balloon popping whenever a sheep gets sacrificed makes the game really fun
Really interesting idea! Never seen a tower defence card game before, love it. Took a little bit to figure out what was going on but all around good job!
Amazing work! Loved everything, especially the sound effects! The UI was super cool, loved the idea of having it be inside of a screen
Really enjoyed this game! Simple yet fun idea, reminded me of an old flash game, boxhead
Interesting game. Great job with learning a new library! I agree with the other commenters, it's hard to rate a game like this where it was more of a learning experience. Hopefully next year we'll see more!
Cool game! Artwork is gorgeous. Was little confused at the beginning, I thought the souls were projectiles from the enemies, but once I got the hang of it quickly. Good work!
Cool idea! Took a little bit to figure out I had to get it to start first, but it became a lot better once I got the hang of it. Really like the idea, not something I've seen before. Good work!
Really cool game! Super creative idea, I love how it opens and closes. Great entry all around, I loved it.
Really cool concept and art! I love the way the boss menacingly comes up to the window haha
Cool idea! Gives me "World's Hardest Game" vibes with the safe zones!
Seems to be an error when trying to run this game in browser. I ran into the same issue, had to upload the game to Itch.io instead!
Cool! Theme was on point! Love the characters and the overall vibe of the game.
Solid game. I really like like how I was given unlimited ammo upon beating the game, I immediately went back to find out the exact layout of the levels.
Really fun! Love the game. Super interesting concept, and the models are pretty funny. Great work all around!
It was really fun! I loved messing around with the different parts, panicking to get everything in it's place in time! Good job!
Great idea! Very lighthearted and casual, however I had some difficulties putting items in the box. There seemed to be an invisible hitbox just on the edge that stopped me from putting items into the box.
Really cool concept! I wish the building requirements were easier to figure out, it took me a long time to figure out how it worked.
Nice game! Loved the different systems and the audio made it really chaotic and fun.
I wish there was a tutorial, I died a few times on the very first level before finding out you had to double jump to beat it. All around good game! Love the art work and models!
@karstenpedersen @bravelytyped @olivieryc @gwenckatz @robobarbie @alks @projectcolorball @william-baker We're glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for your kind words!
@vphyre @spacefudge @sagiii @friend-pirozhok @melbadream Thank you for the feedback! We have taken note of these bugs. In the meantime, we recommend playing the game in fullscreen as we have found that the drag/drop of the letters feels better in that format.
Thank you everyone for your comments! We do have plans to fix the drag and drop controls in a post jam update! For now we ask that everyone plays in Fullscreen mode as the controls work much better that way!
Cool game! I wish there was a countdown so I knew how much time was left, and a tutorial or even a comment in the post to use arrow keys instead of WASD would be great too. All around great stuff for a second entry!
Cool game! I really like the idea, it's an amazing concept. I was a little disappointed to be honest when I learned the AI does not take our drawings into account at all. All around nice work, I really liked the background music!
Very cute game! I love the idea to fill in the empty time between birds with bird facts! Really great idea, and the artwork is really good too! Amazing work!
Cool game! I wish that there was a visual indicator of what to fix, I just ended up running around trying to see what to do. Also going down the ladder was painfully slow
Cool game! Really cool idea to have the game switch every 10 seconds. I like the spooky theme!
Cool game! Not sure if I managed to bug it out somehow but my character kept slowly turning their POV to the right making it very hard to move in a straight line.
This game is adorable! I love the sprites and animations for the dino and the fox! Amazing stuff!
Nice game! Love the fog of war mechanic. The backing audio really adds a lot to the spooky vibe of the game. Good work!
Cool game! I like the different lighting and effects, it really adds a lot! Good stuff
Really cool game! I love the art style and the general game. Really cool spin on those coin-pushing machines!
Cool game! I wish there was some UI to indicate the 10 seconds and that I could click on the actual object instead of just it's base. Overall well done!
Nice! I really like the radar interpretation! Unfortunately I ran into a small bug with the mouse inputs, it would slowly pan the camera to the right even though I wasn't moving my mouse. I played on the itch.io version. All around good work!
Really cool concept, never seen a game like this before! I love all the different options, but sometimes there's not enough time to read them all haha. I think your intentions for the game came across perfectly! Good job
Good job! Love the idea, game looks great too.
Great game! Ran into a bug where I was trying to move my units around and they stacked on top of each other, and then when I began the battle they disappeared completely. Overall a fun game though, super cool idea
Unfortunately I couldn't quite understand what was happening in this game. I would recommend adding a tutorial or some UI explaining how to play the game. I also ran into a bug where it said I won the first level, but then when I tried to press "Next Level", another screen popped up and it said I lost. I liked the background audio and the visuals though!
Nice simple game, really liked the CRT effect at first but then it made my head hurt and I had to turn it off. Visuals were fantastic as well. Solid game!
This has to be the best entry I've seen so far! Very fun, fantastic visuals and great music, all around an amazing game.
@branquelo @biospheremusic @abdul-zakkar @chompdev @osh-studio Thank you all for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed our game!
@gastricsparrow Thank you for the valuable feedback! We have been thinking of adding in an "easy mode" as a post jam version and these are very good suggestions!
Making the side control buttons push the player a little bit is a fantastic idea!
We originally wanted the blocks to be anchored around the center like you mentioned, however most of the blocks are an even number so we quickly found it wouldn't work. I do like the idea of highlighting the anchor column, that's something we could definitely explore.
Again, thank you so much for the suggestions, we will definitely take them into account and we hope you enjoyed playing our game!
Great game! Like many others I wish it started off a little bit slower but once I understood it was very fun!
Music and audio were fantastic and gameplay was fun. Artwork was amazing as well! Maybe I'm just bad at the game but I felt like the blocking didn't do much and I never got to activate my ultimate ability. Also felt a little laggy but all around a great game!
Interesting game! I loved the graphics, my only complaint is that some rooms felt like there were too many enemies but at the same time there were too many rooms that were completely empty. Nice work though!
I love the mechanic of going throw terrain, very interesting! Nice job!
Love the style and design of the game! Different tracks for each level was really cool as well. Some of the levels I felt like were not super clear on the directives but overall I enjoyed the game!
Great game! I loved the idea and the graphics were so good! Great audio as well, overall really well done!
Really cool game! Artwork and music are 10/10, loved it!
Really liked the soundtrack and the art, good job! Overall a fun game
Cool game! Love the graphics
Very fun game! It was a bit difficult at first but slowly got easier I figured out which pieces fit well together! Good work!
I really loved the artwork! Overall a great game especially for your first entry!
Amazing entry! Loved the graphics, the audio, the gameplay, everything!
Cool game! I wish it was more clear that the collider was only on the blue dot but overall it was pretty fun!
Great work! Loved the game, artwork and audio was very fitting, overall a great time
Interesting game, the art and animations are really well done! Loved how interactable many things were such as hovering over the demon to play a different animation. Nice work!
The graphics and atmosphere are amazing! The sound effects are great and add a lot to the game. Overall a really fun puzzle game, great work!
Great game, loved the dialogue and voice acting! Somehow the usage of 2d sprites and rotating them to always face the player instead of full 3d objects made me like the game even more. Animations are great and the cutscenes are even better. Overall I'd say it's a fantastic entry!
Fun game, didn't really understand the connection to the theme though. Overall it's a neat game very similar to 2048. Decent polish, didn't notice any bugs. Good work!
Cool game! I wish there was the option to skip the card rewards as at some point I was drawing hands with only mana potions and no summons. The artwork is very nice, gameplay is fun. Overall very enjoyable.
Fun game! Reminds me a lot of my submission for Ludum Dare 54, [Pixel Piles](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/pixel-piles). Overall it's very fun, and the movement feels nice. Good job!
Neat game, it was a little hard to understand with all the screen shaking and constant dialogue. Also making the player glide around was an interesting choice. Wasn't sure if it was possible to lose as I stopped moving after a certain point and my hp bar never seemed to go down. Got an extra nipple though so all around enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this game! Music was super eerie and cool, I even enjoyed spamming the reset button to hear it pitch down and then slowly come back up haha. Really well done!
Art work is really good! I love the hand gestures and the increasing amount of followers behind the player. Gameplay was fun but I agree with other commenters that it started out a bit slow. Overall it's a fun game!
Cool game! The sound effects are great and the game is pretty fun. Perhaps a bit too easy since you can summon through walls without getting hit but overall it was pretty fun!
Really interesting game idea! I liked the art style!
Interesting game! It could be optimized a little better, I often found myself lagging with a few sumos summoned. Mouse sensitivity was also very high, so I wish there was an option to change that. Overall a fun game!
@neandi @rustywolf @exister @spit @bearcage @meepster @pusheeneiro @mindnumb-interactive @widerhold Thank you for your feedback! Seems like ryhthm games aren't everyone's forte but we're glad you enjoyed it!
@sybert Thank you! We do think we could've done a better job with the balance of the game overall, I agree it is perhaps too difficult. You should try the third song, Black and White! That one is my favourite and in my opinion, the easiest.
@tesseract Thank you for your feedback! We contemplated forcing the player to go through calibration before playing the game however we thought that would put off players since it's just for a game jam. It could be that there is a large amount of input lag which results in notes quite far from the perfect zone to get registered as perfects. In hindsight we may not have implemented the input calibration the best way haha. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
@oblivioncreator @typicalkin @nsadie We're glad you enjoyed the game! The difficulty is definitely something we could've done better on, it's a lot harder than we anticipated when the levels were first created but we had other focuses and didn't have time to remake the levels. Definitely something we'll keep in mind going forward.
Really cool game! It looks amazing and the feedback you get from hitting a note is great. I love the overall aesthetic and it was very fun to play. The sound eventually got a little too noisy for me but the game was great overall. Nice work!
Loved it! Visuals and sound are amazing and the different minigames are very fun. My only complaint is that the settings button doesn't work so I cannot adjust the volume.
Nice work! Felt very polished with the shadows moving across the ground and even the image with the requirements becomoing transparent if you move behind it to not block the player. Seems like you can go back into the summoning circle to deposit collected materials even if you don't have everything yet, but it doesn't tell you how much of which item you've deposited. This made me confused and I thought I lost all my items but the enemies weren't dropping them a nymore. Overall a fun game!
Simple fun game. I really liked the animations, it was very cute. I found a bug where I was getting stuck on the side of platforms but overall the game is very enjoyable. Nice work!
Cool game! Reminded me of Vampire Survivors. Really liked the background song and it was a fun game!
Amazing game! Everything felt really polished and I loved the idea of freestyling to restart the game. Also the possibility of connecting a midi controller is super cool! Quick, easy to learn, and very fun. Really good entry!
Neat game, a little difficult to get the hang of it at first but once you do it's quite fun! I started off with the medium difficulty which unfortunately did not show any of the instructions so I was very confused for a long time. I had to lose and go back to the main menu and play the easy difficulty in order for the tutorial guide to show up. Overall nice game!
Fun game! Reminds me a lot of Binding of Isaac. My only issue is that sometimes clicking on the UI causes an attack to go off. So if I save my next attack for the next room, by adding a new card to my deck it consumes the card I was saving previously. Overall a good game, good job!
The art is absolutely amazing, there is so much detail in the world. The player moves a bit fast in my opinion but overall the game is very enjoyable. The story was perhaps a bit too straight-forward but it was engaging until the end. Solid game all around!
Cool game, especially the graphics! I was a little confused at first with the controls in the minigames but it was fun once I figured it out. I felt like I got stuck sometimes after a minigame ended, might've been because I was getting stuck on the summons.
Fun puzzle game! It was really fun figuring out the different placement patterns and planning how to put each piece down. Also a nice sound effect when a combo forms. Overall great game
What the duck did I just play. 10/10!
Cool game! Pretty uncommon to see a game that uses these keybindings but it was quite enjoyable. The background is gorgeous and the game is pretty fun. Nice work!

Managed to get stuck in the wall on this level but overall an amazing game! Great puzzle design, I had to consult the walkthrough more than I'd like to admit. The audio layering when the player stands on the singing platforms is amazing, and the voice acting is fantastic!
Interesting concept! Cool idea to control the little creatures like that. Hitboxes with the terrain were a little misleading but and I really wish there was music and sound effects.
Cute little tower defense game! I love the small details like the grass blowing in the wind, good work!
Interesting idea! I also found it a little confusing at first, if I hadn't read your hint on checking the sewer first I probably never would've figured it out, I was just running around the kitchen spamming space bar to see what I could interact with.
Hey Viktor, always nice to stumble upon your game here. The amount of polish is great, such as the hit particle effects and particularly the spinning crosshair when shooting. I would've loved to see some more upgrades and duplicate detection as sometimes both options were the same. Overall solid game, nice work
Art is fantastic! Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to play and the audio was quite loud.
I've always loved this type of game! Very fun, albeit a bit difficult. Sound effects and music are very fitting and add a lot to the game. Overall solid entry!
@dhim @halgendy Thank you!
@frontiersend Unfortunately there may still be a couple UI scaling issues, playing in fullscreen should fix it! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
@elsidraws @arcolm @adjo @n-lan Thank you! We're glad you're enjoying it!
@infiltratingmom We're glad you and your kids are enjoying the game! The leaderboard was actually a last minute addition so we're glad to see it's being received so well!
@sviborg @initialposition @smielke @yoav-kagan @jesse-martin @yuvonvith @kirass Thank you for your kind words!
Interesting concept. Even after reading the tutorial I was a little confused but I thought I'd get the hang of it after playing it. I did start to understand but after the game was over, it said me and the CPU got three of a kind even though I had three 1s and the CPU only had a single 1. Screenshot 2024-10-10 121019.png
I love the idea of making a physical game for Ludum Dare! Unfortunately I don't have a printer so I can't play it but I can already tell it would be fun just by reading through the rule book. The art is also very cute!
Happy birthday Logan! Great work, overall a really solid entry! Very polished!
Cute game! I would've loved to see a bit more polish on the UI side, such as highlighting around which room is currently selected, as well as a more stylized score counter. Also maybe having the room overviews not be blocking the current room would be great but I completely understand, it's a jam game after all. Overall fun game, great work!
This game is strangely satisfying, and the background music heavily reminds me of being in an arcade!
