L.D. Noire by karlipoppins 2019-10-09T16:19:44Z

Thanks for the help in the playthrough! I wish we had more time when we played it. Awesome humor and nostalgia. Here's the VOD of the playthrough for anyone interested.

Beggars Can Be Choosers by Herman Chau 2019-10-08T01:52:21Z

A bit too punishing with bad luck events. It's hard to ever get over 5 coins most of the time. But still enjoyable. A monkey stole my socks.

Beggars Can Be Choosers by Herman Chau 2019-10-09T08:35:44Z

Spent a little while on this one, funny story and interesting idea! Here is a video of my playthrough if you are interested:

Mage in Exile by Nikolay Zapolnov 2019-10-08T11:48:17Z

Maybe move the inventory button to one next to WASD instead of U. The game is very hard! Lots of potential with a bit of balancing.

Beet-hoven by jamioflan 2019-10-08T07:52:46Z

Very nice game, I jumped out of the world and had a look. Reminds me of Slime Rancher mixed with Cook Server Delicious maybe?

Beet-hoven by jamioflan 2019-10-09T08:56:53Z

I got a soft spot for music games AND farming games. So this one is actually one of my faves. Here is a video of me playing through the game!

Enter the Abyss by GuitarBro 2019-10-09T16:35:48Z

The Necromancer by JoaoP 2019-10-08T22:57:26Z

More of a tech demo, but a very fun one! Reminds me of Shadow of Mordor and Totally Accurate Battle Sim.

Soy Sauce Man by Memedev0 2019-10-10T01:56:05Z

Could not beat the flying one with the sword :< Very fun game and idea though!

UnderShell by KaueSilva 2019-10-08T07:16:59Z

Bit of a standard bullet hell sidescroller type thing. I wish the "star" ammo lasted longer though!

I really liked the one thought. The Pringles(TM) one.

Spellchain by ixuz 2019-10-09T08:08:12Z

Here's a highlight of a playthrough of the game in case you or anyone else is interested! Once again, great game. In retrospect, one of the coolest I've played so far!

Starboard: The Pirate Entrepreneur by FlashViper 2019-10-08T02:27:08Z

Funny names for your levels! The enemies are very erratic and the whole things needs to be zoomed out a bit I think. Great piratey theme.

Starboard: The Pirate Entrepreneur by FlashViper 2019-10-09T08:44:31Z

Space Office by Celdur 2019-10-08T08:49:50Z

Figured out day 1 (with ABSOLUTELY no help). Awesome puzzle "management?" sim game!

Save Samuel by nanocube75 2019-10-08T07:35:06Z

Would have loved a "walkie-talkie" style filter over your voice lines. Just to make it even more cliche, haha! Interesting enemy designs.

World of Nothing by DS Nahogara 2019-10-09T16:29:30Z

Nice backing track, reminds me of the 28 Days song.

Fast Bastard by eupde 2019-10-09T00:06:39Z

Hitboxes are a bit wonky, but the game is very fun. I wonder what the highest score is?

Lucifer's Rise by hydrate 2019-10-09T08:11:56Z

Here’s a video of a playthrough of the game. Despite some initial hiccups I got it working and enjoyed the art and platforming parts very much! Wish you could skip the intro cutscene though in case you die!

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/492111234

Slimy Situation by Vybe 2019-10-08T09:52:44Z

Very hard at the start. Some balancing might make it more fun.

Spellody by EvilScotsman 2019-10-08T03:03:59Z

@wheybags There are no attack "animations", but if you do the correct spell type on the enemy it insta-kills them. Otherwise you chip away at their health bar. Clicking on the enemy also freezes them in place.

LD46 — Keep it alive

The Flower of The Elmhearst by SarahFrisk 2020-04-22T22:49:25Z

Awesome artwork. It definitely could have used some art of the actual garden and terrarium mentioned in the story. I picked an unfinished ending siding with my boy Cam. It was a lot of fun putting Ted down at every chance I got, haha!

Aqua Vitae by zimennik 2020-04-22T04:42:45Z

If you made an entire USSR simulator like this, I would pay good money for that game. Gives me "My Summer Car" vibes. A simple and wonderful game.

A.D.A.M and E.V.E by Almax 2020-04-23T05:55:13Z

Took a few minutes to get it, but this is a really cool game. I loved it in pretty much every way. The art, the gameplay, the music, it fits the theme, it seems like it even has an interesting "world". I think you guys deserve a 5/5 on this one. I would have played 20 levels if you made them.

Soda Pop Vampire by neontropics 2020-04-24T23:41:37Z

Parental Instinct by Fatsheep 2020-04-25T00:21:23Z

I never though an accordion could be so scary. This one was really nice for this style of horror game. I think at 10 minutes, it's a bit too long for an LD game. But I did manage to get through the night with my horrific looking son and that horrific monster outside.

Luciole by LaJazuve 2020-04-24T23:45:35Z

The style in this game is excellent! The visuals on the trees, the light halo, the spooky tree things. And that ending! The pick up/put down mechanics were a little clunky, and setting the default keyboard to AZERTY was kinda silly, but other than that this is probably one of my favorites of the jam so far!

Played on stream twice!: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/601008126 & https://www.twitch.tv/videos/601008118

Arrhythmia by Bodaciouslycrazy 2020-04-24T23:55:17Z

This is an awesome game! The visuals are so good! And the whole thing has a level of polish that is almost unmatched from anything I've seen so far. I was a bit confused about the different types of potions at first, but after a few plays I got it. This one's in my top rated so far.

Jibier's Adventure : Valentine's Curse by Jibier 2020-04-22T04:31:01Z

Till Death Do Us Part by Bobothegreat 2020-04-23T05:34:15Z

I skipped all Jenny's dialogue then used the history to cheat a few answers. If only my brain had a history. I think there's a Black Mirror episode about that actually. Anyway, very funny game. Perfectly on-the-nose for the tropes of a premise of YA fiction.

Escaping Fire by Shunaky 2020-04-25T00:19:00Z

Very challenging. Great aesthetic, clearly Don't Starve and Mincraft influenced, which is a good thing to me! My biggest complaint would be difficulty. By the time you understand what you have to do though your failures have added up to like 30 minutes, so it kind of overstays it's welcome. A few tweaks of timers here and there you would have a really fun and beatable game!

Blobbysitter by Jake Marks 2020-04-22T23:42:58Z

@aaa honestly though, he is quite a cute little gremlin. I mean, ask anyone. definitely not inspired by any art style from a recent adult swim pilot, no way.

Blobbysitter by Jake Marks 2020-04-22T23:45:38Z

@inkajoo the blob baby was painstakingly designed to be only slightly easier to look after than a real baby

Blobbysitter by Jake Marks 2020-04-28T17:46:07Z

@ratrat44 2 minutes is the ideal amount of time to need to babysit a blob.

@drums @undead-aubergine He is beautiful, isn't he!

@lethalturtle 5 tries seems reasonable to me. means you played it for under 10 minutes. any longer and it would overstay it's welcome I think.

@guin36 Thanks for the constructive feedback! mouse/camera sensitivity is too high for sure. we did want the objects to be hard to click on just to amp up the stress, but they're maybe a bit too small.

@pythooonuser Slowing down music is a great little "hack" to indicate "you lose", hehe.

@thebreakfast @barnox @svenerik @duke We made the rounds short to encourage trying a few times to get it right, but in retrospect we definitely had some developer bias on the difficulty. Thanks for the feedback!

I really like the idea of bringing people off to the side to suck their blood at a vampire hosted party! But the execution does need some work. The UI and movement are hard to use.

Overjammed by Nachodlv 2020-04-21T05:50:13Z

Love this kind of meta-gamejam-game. It is now canon that the blue thing is a fidget-spinner. And if I could, I'd throw it out the window! Great game.

Disco Revival by Error502 2020-04-24T23:47:02Z

Those people come into the club so fast I can't get them to leave quick enough! Each round only lasts like 10 seconds or so for me. Maybe I'm missing something?

Where did this baby come from? by maxflav 2020-04-22T04:27:58Z

Wow, I am bad at this game. Had my friend help me with level 2 and I was done after that. I'm sure this kind of game clicks with other people, but definitely not me.

Stay Alive by Hruy Gashaw 2020-04-22T04:36:59Z

Could have used more depth in terms of avoiding damage. Seemed like every level was just about only taking a few hits instead of too many instead of having a way to not get hit at all.

A tale of Rebirthism by Pomo 2020-04-23T05:58:02Z

Tower of BOOM by BadPiggy 2020-04-23T05:38:49Z

Gameplay is very difficult. But replayability is instant, kind of like Hotline Miami. I would have loved if each session was tied to a seed, so you would always have the same enemies in that game, and you could like completely master that path and get the rhythm down. I think that would have been neat. And when you restart the whole game it changes the seed. Music was a bit hard to listen to though.

Flicker by sunday_driver 2020-04-22T23:38:20Z

Jumping around on walls is really fun. I kinda got screwed by the dark until I realized you could right click to light up an area. But when I was expected to jump onto and off of my little fire rockets, that's when I had to call it. Too hard for me! haha. Cool game.

Chicken Guide Simulator 3000 by flod 2020-04-25T00:16:13Z

Eldritch Depths by simex 2021-04-30T22:39:18Z

What you have here is so well done, and tightly designed. Playing this game with a controller feels like an actual game I paid 10 bucks for on Steam. 5 Stars on Fun, hands down. I think the LD entry could have benefitted from just being 3 levels instead of 5 so that you could quickly get to the end. I didn't get to see the final boss monster!

I am curious whether there is an English audio version, or it's just the subtitles, because I was having trouble following the reading while still playing, so the talking was more "background noise" to me. I was laughing a lot at this one though, so great job on that!

Thanks for recommending your game on my stream! Here is the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003973153

I think what you have here is a good start to a larger puzzle platformer, that you could uncover a big conspiracy/mystery during the course of the game.

I loved the awkward robotic walk animation! It made the game quite charming.

​Nyctophobia by TheJohnyFeeD 2021-04-30T22:36:17Z

I expected a lot from a top tier dev, and you knocked it out of the park! The game is so well done. The lighting, the horrible monsters, the helpless and oppressive atmosphere, the creepy characters.

Heating plant tycoon by Hadik 2021-10-07T00:45:38Z

JUNK NUNS by KyMakesGames 2021-10-07T00:54:11Z

Tower Crawl by AlbyK 2021-10-07T01:01:45Z

Well, that pipe is going to stay not breached, because I had a HELL of a time with this game. I think the difficulty is too high for an LD game. The concept is solid. The enemies could use some more feedback as well. Controls are very responsive.

falling flamingo by butterfly 2021-10-07T00:51:59Z

LD51 — Every 10 seconds

Last Days of Atlantis by ccollider 2022-10-03T23:46:44Z

This looks very cool as a concept. Placement of walls is a bit strange. It however doesn't seem super stable. Time keeps stopping after about 5 water rises/days and I can't progress past it. It's somehow relaxing and stressful at the same time. Nice music.

Oh no! by Thiago Nascimento 2022-10-03T23:36:07Z

Funny game. Could do with some sound effects. Also E is a very clumsy choice for the snipping button. Maybe intentional, but Space would make the gameplay more smooth.

Mutated Carbon by Gousen Pride 2022-10-03T23:27:38Z

Very fun and tight controls. Leaderboards are always great to see in LD games. 5/5 on fun.

Eldritch Eaters by seisus 2022-10-04T00:01:00Z

I got my little guys to the door after hitting 3 levers. Not sure if "winning" wasn't working, or I missed something. But overall pretty cool and spooky game.

Back for Seconds by Bit Flipz 2022-10-03T23:15:54Z

After 3 rounds there were no more units to buy! Really cool little 2D battle sim here. Fun and decent art.

Cute game. Nice art style. I like the breaking up of levels and little mini games at home. Could have used some (more?) i-frames when you get hit and a cursor graphic.
