A New Hell by Kaish 2025-04-14T19:31:39Z ♥ 2

I like this entry a lot. It has a very simplistic style that makes me think of GameBoy screens and palettes. The controls are very floaty though, sometimes the ball starts bouncing off spikes and I'm not sure what I can do, except for waiting the imminent death :) Maybe adding a couple of hitpoints before death could help this a bit. Overall, great concept, solid entry, well done and congratulations !

Dwingles by Pomo 2025-04-12T19:20:55Z ♥ 1

Seriously creeped out by the long nasty finger. But this is pretty fun! It all works nicely and smooth. I wonder what strategies the leaderboard top 10 used, couldn't get it faster than 7 seconds myself! Great entry Pomo !

Hello Darkness by Emsea 2025-04-10T07:35:44Z ♥ 2

Very cool entry. Top ratings for mood for sure, it actually brings just that little spiciness of claustrophobia you'd get in a submarine. I like the shade work, I'm just wondering what the game would look like in a more traditional way. Gameplay wise I had fun for sure, good job keeping the player occupied. My only remark, but this might be what you were going for, LOUD NOISES! I played this before my second morning coffee and the foghorn followed by atomic bomb level crashing sounds woke me up for sure :) Great game overall, thank you for making this.

Minersweeper by vegasword 2025-04-09T23:01:11Z ♥ 1

This is a very good and simple entry, a "smartgame" that can keep one occupied for a good while. As I say often, when something shines in simplicity, it is easier to make enjoyable, and you've done just that. Thank you for making this game !

Faith-e-vator by BadPiggy 2025-04-08T19:03:27Z ♥ 1

This game is so crunchy, I love it! There is the instant urgency of fighting and keeping the demons away from you, but maybe this could be reflected a bit more in the UI (just thinking, an overlay that turns more red at the sides for example). Also, just some extra oomph (screenshake, particles, etc) and a variety of attacks. But in the end this is suuuuuuper enjoyable already. One of my favorites !

Cave Escape by Flinge 2025-04-08T18:43:27Z ♥ 3

Wilhelm scream = +1 humor! But seriously, I love this entry so much, it is actually my favorite. So simple, so effective and so hard to put down. I love the retro vibe and the replayability is so high. Not a single thing to comment here, well done !

Undertetris by Rinevard 2025-04-08T12:05:23Z ♥ 1

Lovely game ! Me and my kids would love to play a full version of this. It has very good puzzle elements with multiple solutions, which is very forgiving. I love that ! Audio and art also were working very well together. Thank you and congratulations on such a nice entry !

Helldriver 2 by oxnh 2025-04-08T09:28:23Z ♥ 1

Holy moly, there's a lot to unpack here :p

I don't know if I'm just an old nostalgic fart, but this could be straight out of early 2000s Newgrounds, but with some seriously polished art and sound. The music adds so much to the vibe. Pizza from hell was not on my bingo card for today, but I’m very glad it happened.

I do think some small tweaks like a proper loss condition or maybe short invincibility frames could help smooth out the gameplay a bit more. You could experiment with different perspectives and parallaxing, but honestly, the weirdness is part of the charm. Would totally play an expanded version of this. Amazing job!

Below Birdsong by levi kingma 2025-04-08T07:28:58Z ♥ 4

Interesting. It wasn't really superclear what I had to do, but I appreciate the work that went in this entry! The pixel art is really nice. The game feels pretty incomplete, but I do love the concept of listening to a canary in a mine ! Very cool take. Things I would work on? Polish... Make it more crunchy, make it more clear what the intention is. Work on the platform placement (I couldn't reach any of them). But all in all, well done and congratulations !

Echoes of the deep by BadPinkChicken 2025-04-08T07:20:13Z ♥ 0

I love the atmosphere! Great play with light and darkness. It really feels like the player is going deeper. I'd try to balance it a bit more though, sometimes the enemies really seem to come out of nowhere, but it is a jam and that quick challenge factor is definitely there ! Well done !

Treasure Down Under by cmaks 2025-04-08T07:18:15Z ♥ 1

Lovely tech demo! Even though it's pretty short it already feels adventurous. One thing I would definitely work on is the implementation of "coyote time". Be a bit forgiving towards your players :)

Kelp (unfinished) by peppersalt07 2025-04-08T07:10:27Z ♥ 1

Very nice prototype. I really enjoyed it, but I had some trouble finding the "5 seconds of fun" here. It's definitely interesting and the art is amazing, but it didn't give me the instant "oh... this is why I'm doing this" revelation :) Would be great as a full fleshed out game !

Living Lift by Scrawach 2025-04-08T07:03:16Z ♥ 1

Had a good giggle here :) The game itself could use a little more "oompf" but I just adore the models and artstyle!

Crabs in a Bucket by busisen 2025-04-07T22:11:50Z ♥ 1

This is awesome. It's like playing inverted Frogger, where I still control the frog, but also the cars ! Very cool game. The audioloop might be a bit short, it got a bit repetitive. But... CRAB CHAOS makes up for it !

Hole Punch by Michael Parrish 2025-04-07T22:08:32Z ♥ 1

Clean execution:) Had to switch my language, but I'm used to that ^-^ I'd have personally put more emphasis on feedback (more effects like screenshake / colors / particles) that drives urgency. Make it even more dramatic! But I really enjoy this game, I'll keep it bookmarked for sure ^-^

Focus Hunt by dhim 2025-04-07T22:04:33Z ♥ 1

Waw this is awesome, your daughter can be proud! I've seen a couple of games that used "focal depth" as their core mechanic, but each and every one of them (including yours) just stands out. This belongs in a museum, as an interactive exposition. Lovely !

Escape from the Depths of Hell by yohadams 2025-04-07T22:02:21Z ♥ 1

Smooth like butter :) Very simple, but nice entry, the way they're supposed to be. Maybe a slightly longer audioloop would help, but in the end it is a jam so very understanding! I like this, kudos to you and your wife :)

Dark Pit by Haokai XU 1999 2025-04-07T21:59:51Z ♥ 2

Simple but effective, I love what you did to keep the room mysterious and playing with the lights! Sometimes hard, sometimes unforgiving, but it feels fair. I have to agree with what @atsh said, I'm not sure the rotated platforms are really needed. Nonetheless, thanks for making this !

escape-the-dungeon-what-did-he-do-to-deserve-this by BarnabeWild 2025-04-07T21:57:21Z ♥ 1

I like your audio, in spite of being a short loop, it doesn't bother one bit and it kinda fits really well. I'm not going to hammer what's already been said above, the camera should get some love, maybe add a rotate button or something to rotate around the edges of the room. You have such nice billboarded art, don't hide it behind walls ^-^ Well done !

Pogo Dwarf by NTMalichi 2025-04-07T21:27:04Z ♥ 1

Great job, loved this game ! The art, the audio, the gameplay, it all fits so well together. One of my favorites so far! And don't worry about fixing things post-deadline, these clearly were essential to make your game work better / as intended !

LD57 - Slappy's Reef by Scott R Howell 2025-04-07T12:28:38Z ♥ 1

This is a great entry, well done. Everything audiovisualy clicks together and the mechanic is simple but effective. A bit more in game feedback could go a long way though. Well done and congratulations on your entry! (Note, I had to turn on hardware acceleration in google chrome, so for people playing this and the game is lagging incredibly, either change browser or turn on hardware acceleration ;) )

Cthonic Depths by Lazyanttu 2025-04-07T12:25:16Z ♥ 1

Very interesting take on the theme. It took me a good while to understand what I am supposed to do though. Very nice to see a text-based adventure style game.

Grandpa's Super Summerbreak Hobby by plexium.nerd 2025-04-07T12:22:44Z ♥ 1

I like what I read in the description, very original concept. I'd love to play it but as @scott-r-howell mentioned, the game does not start :)

Down Golf by chuckeles 2025-04-07T12:16:49Z ♥ 2

This is so sweet, had trouble putting it down :D The graphics style is a little bit inconsistent, but somehow you've made it work. Well done ! Also don't worry too much about the bug, in my eyes you'd be allowed to fix it as it is game-breaking obviously.

Deepest Canyon by muriel 2025-04-07T11:45:36Z ♥ 1

Lovely entry, the grappling at first feels a bit stiff (as mentioned by @sypiac , having more air control would make it even more dynamic and less punishing?). Unfortunately, I also got stuck in the terrain a couple of times, which unfortunately breaks the flow. But overal, I am impressed and glad I got to play your game !

Continental Shelf by cassowary 2025-04-07T11:42:33Z ♥ 1

This game is such fun! Grand in simplicity. I love the graphics, they mesh together perfectly. Also, as a big lover of game-AI and pathfinding, I love these implementations that just work. Very well done !

The Deepest Descent by ssiannas 2025-04-07T11:41:06Z ♥ 3

Nice entry ! I loved the intro cutscene, the screaming was hilarious. Gameplaywise, the game seems simple at first but there's just so many things that went into it, giant fireballs, moving bat-monsters. I love it, definitely on my "play this again" list ! Well done !

The Investigator by ImmortalFox 2025-04-07T11:38:36Z ♥ 1

I like the concept, but there are a few honest concerns I have. To me personally it wasn't really clear what I was supposed to do, so I wound up just spamming the right option (the only one that was doing something). Just in general, if the major part of your game would be focused on text, it might be better to put it straight up the player's field of vision, nice and big, with as much feedback as possible (for example, hover-over the text to make it bigger/pop, or just use buttons there as well). Also, I would increase the font on the main menu buttons as well. The audioloop also seems a bit repetitive, but this is a jam so scope issues are forgivable :) I hope this feedback is valuable to you and in the end, I want to congratulate you personally for making this !

[ROBLOX] Descend to the Molten Core by croze 2025-04-07T11:29:45Z ♥ 3

This is really cool. I've done years and years of LD jams, but never have I ever seen one made in Roblox Studio. I really encourage people to make games without restrictions on the tools one can use and this proves exactly that. My kids love Roblox, so I knew how to do get this running and we've all enjoyed it tremendously. Definitely worth a mention !

Froggy Towers by LordSheo 2025-04-07T11:26:47Z ♥ 1

I'm invested now, this game is being pushed upward by people commenting the game isn't there yet :p Seems to me the "karma-system" needs an overhaul? :D Either way, I'll be waiting !

DungeonDescent by thisyc 2025-04-07T11:25:37Z ♥ 1

Sucker for matching games and rogue-lites. The thing that make viral games such as balatro and binding of isaac so popular is the aspect of creating overpowered builds. Well done ! A few points of critique though, the resolution isn't consistent (as mentioned above by @toppervideogames ), which causes some parts of the UI to be not visible. The difficulty also plateau's when the enemies are gone, which can be by design, but I'm not sure it is fit for this type of game ^-^ Well done !

Scaphander's Mine by Colisan 2025-04-07T11:21:16Z ♥ 1

This game looks and feels amazing. Love it! Everything matches up so nicely and the (I assume shader) to create the underwater effect is so nice. Thank you so much for making this. Note, the link to your twitch channel redirects to your moderator view, you should edit that ;)

"Jammy" Bolt Digs a Hole by kroltan 2025-04-07T11:17:58Z ♥ 1

Cute game! I wonder, are the levels made procedurally? Because I believe I have accidently got my silly brain stuck because I couldn't dig up. Maybe I had missed alternate solutions. Either way, I like this entry! Thank you

Depth of field by Phoque 2025-04-07T11:14:11Z ♥ 0

@yohadams While that is true to the letter of to the rules, I prefer to believe in submitting to the spirit of the Jam. Now, the middle way to handle it would be to opt out of graphics, which the creator clearly has done...

So yeah, not a true Compo submission, but THAT being said, this is beautiful and I really have enjoyed it, by far the most original take on the theme so far :)

Deep sea fishing by Spexxilove 2025-04-07T11:10:13Z ♥ 1

That's quite the original mechanic you got going there, sucking up fish! I like the concept and the feeling of mystery. The graphics could be a bit more fleshed out, but this is part of a jam so there's definitely the option to go for "programmer art". Well done overall !

Deep Fishing by SharpLoaded 2025-04-07T11:08:25Z ♥ 1

Hey this was fun ! Thank you for making this. I love the artstyle, it is very lighthearted and puts people in a good mood. It feels like playing a classic, well done !

The matching deep by Aterlamia 2025-04-07T07:31:26Z ♥ 1

Nice entry. I can clearly see what you were going for. I'm a sucker for match-3 games so these types of adventure really tickle my fancy. However, I think it might need more work to make it clear what you can or can't do. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or not, but sometimes the piece wouldn't swap positions and I'd lose a move as well, making it a bit hard to follow what was going on. Also, in spite of the music's upswing beat, the loop feels just a bit too short and repetitive, fine for a jam though. Thanks for making this!

Deep Point by Garywiss 2025-04-07T07:27:21Z ♥ 1

Simple, original and entertaining. As far as the WebGL goes, I too have issues with the LD page. When looking at the error log in the dev console, it gives me errors on permissions and cross-origin errors. As an alternative, you can try to upload it on itch.io and see if it plays over there?

Gameplay wise, this could be a fun little arcade game once it is a bit more fleshed out. But in the scope of 48 hours this felt great to play.

En fin de compte, je veux juste dire, excellent travail et merci d'avoir fait cette entrée de game jam ;)

Nightmare Digger by OnnGD 2025-04-07T07:22:53Z ♥ 2

You might want to create an itch.io page and upload your web-build there (disable compression in the publication settings though). This page isn't working for me, so I'll put it on the "revisit" list for sure !

Deep Dish Pizzagram by Thoastbot 2025-04-07T07:21:29Z ♥ 2

How dare you... The absolute nerve you must have... To create something THIS awesome in 48 hours using no engine? I tip my hat to you. I'm really amazed and want to take some time to thank you for doing this, bringing the absolute proof to the table that even in a game jam, such as LD, there is room for experimentation and that (unless specified offcourse), the tools do not really matter. As far as the game goes, my kids absolutely loved it, especially the feature they could share URL's with their pizza to one another. Got a great giggle out of it. Unfortunately, they now want to make fresh pizza instead of takeaway :p

Green Tastes Funny by JustCore 2025-04-07T07:17:02Z ♥ 1

Simple, but so cute. Love the artstyle. Doing a Jam never is easy, especially when you restrict yourself even further (48 hours really is short). So scope is really a thing that one needs to learn how to control, and I'd say you are very well under way to do that. All in all, well done, you can be proud !

Hell R Us by CaptainDreamcast 2025-04-07T07:15:22Z ♥ 1

This one is very engaging, love it! I dig the replayability, just wanted to keep going. In between the comedy and the artstyle, I really can see this one going on to become something quite viral!... Plus what the heck dude, trying to outshine us all with the fancy Dreamcast port?

Treasures by mgear 2025-04-07T07:12:54Z ♥ 1

Great work ! Grand in its simplicity :) I love this one for sure !

DEEPLINE by designernap 2025-04-07T07:12:12Z ♥ 2

How people make this quality of assets for a jam, it keeps surprising me. Well done ! The game just has hit that goldilock's zone of horror and curiosity !

Lotus Well by Aly Name 2025-04-06T23:06:10Z ♥ 1

This is so beautiful... Everything meshes so well, atmospheric. I love the transitions as well. The only downside that I'm noticing is a little lag, but that might be on my side and it doesn't really take a way from the experience. This is literally playing a poem. Lovely ! Thank you

Depth of Mind by FunBanan 2025-04-06T14:52:30Z ♥ 2

Waaaaaaw-eeeee... This is a lot of complexity for such a short dev-cycle. Crazy cool! I had to go over it a couple of times before actually feeling like I got a good grasp of what was going on, but still, nice, simple and clean. Thank you for making this !

Deep Inquiry by spacemyname 2025-04-06T14:50:14Z ♥ 1

You might want to double check, I've tried opening it but my Windows Defender has flagged your game as a possible threat. Would be a shame if people avoid the game because of this. I'll try to open it on my sandbox machine ^-^

INNER DEPTHS IDLE by munmungames 2025-04-06T14:47:30Z ♥ 1

Very cool entry, I'd play this on my phone for sure. Idle games are awesome and I have a feeling this could be a nice entry to combine with for example breathing exercises and cup-breathing ! Well done !

I Do by Togis 2023-10-09T18:20:21Z ♥ 3

This game is an absolute blast! It takes a unique spin on the theme and executes it brilliantly. The attention to detail and humor throughout the game is fantastic.

The concept of seating guests at a wedding is both fun and challenging. While it might seem like a simple task, the game adds depth with the different personalities and preferences of the guests. You'll find yourself carefully planning who to invite and where to seat them, all while trying to avoid wedding disasters.

I can honestly say, getting married IRL was easier :D

Wizard n' Slims by rickylee 2023-10-08T21:40:44Z ♥ 2

Very nice game. It was a bit struggling to figure out what to do, but that was completely on me. Well done ! Great entry, simple graphics BUT perfected graphics, audio and effects were very juicy and it didn't get boring, not even slightly after 75+ levels. Love this one, great game !

ROLLiE and the Desert Drive by civmaniac 2023-10-08T21:20:03Z ♥ 2

Thank you for submitting this game, it has so much going on, really impressive. I like the aspect of a turned based combat game mixed in with proper strategy and stacking. Everything was coming together very coherently, I really liked playing it. Well done, +1 for robots ! :D

Rolling Over It by DanyVk 2023-10-08T20:58:23Z ♥ 1

Really nice concept, frustrating but fair ! There were some minor glitches but I only noticed them because I was clicking over 1000 times :p So it was bound to happen now and then. Everything comes together nicely, and it was a real joy to play. Usually I don't have the patience to play games like this all the way through, but I actually enjoyed this. Well done and thank you for submitting !

Calves of the Braves by Furano 2023-10-08T19:57:30Z ♥ 1

Love the artwork, very consistent. The only thing I'm missing a bit is a more upbeat soundtrack, it is a sumo game after all :p It did work out in the end, I can see this being a fun multiplayer partygame, kinda like fall guys ? Well done and thank you for submitting this gem to my stream.

Hardpoint by kankje 2023-10-08T19:48:23Z ♥ 4

This is an amazing entry, reminds me of a game I had when I was a kid like 25 years ago, really good take on the theme, made me feel very powerful chasing down enemy mechs while dodging mortar fire. Audio and visuals are very coherent, all made sense, would definitely play a finalized version of this, well done and thank you for making and submitting this !

Crime Critters (Rob the British Museum) by Pen Island Games 2023-10-08T19:28:44Z ♥ 1

This is just simply a perfect jam game ! I really can see this becoming a smash hit on the nintendo switch for example. Art is amazing, audio is on point, everything is coherent and the theme was smashed. Well done, I think I've found the winner of LD54 !

The Giant's Globe by Jvdwijk 2023-10-08T19:11:27Z ♥ 3

I really enjoyed this game, short, snappy and simple ! Controls were a bit floaty but it is an ice-world after all so that's just perfect. I really like the puzzle aspect of getting skill in the right order, but it might have been nice to have more options than just 2 skills. Then again ,it is a jam and this definitely is one of the better puzzle games I've seen, thank you for making this !

Tabletrack Turbulence by Phlip45 2023-10-08T18:55:42Z ♥ 1

I really appreciate the novel way of interacting / inputting control for movement. At first I was under the assumption that it was a drag-to-release. Very good, all game together nicely, consistent style and audio, I think this made for a very fun and quirky game. The voice acting made me chuckle very bad, well done !

Voyd by amarokczukay 2023-10-08T18:10:30Z ♥ 1

Very simple yet satisfying concept. I really enjoyed the bullethell ! It's amazingly clever to make the playfield shrink when you miss the enemy. All came together nicely, very crisp and clean. Well done ! Thank you for submitting this game to the stream :D

The Big Crunch by Ategon 2023-10-08T18:01:24Z ♥ 3

Having a full assortment of mini games is incredibly difficult especially during a jam, everything looks and feels very crisp and polished, all felt fair. Really a great entry, thank your making this, great concept and I hope to see more of it in the future !

Fowl Play by Simon Rahnasto 2023-10-07T21:34:10Z ♥ 3

I absolutely loved this game! The voice acting was exceptional, truly bringing the characters to life. The graphics were stunning, and I was impressed by the innovative gameplay !

I successfully identified the right suspect, which made me feel accomplished. Even though I got a bit lost in the plot due to some similar-looking characters and unique names, it didn't dampen my enjoyment.

The game's interpretation of the theme, with everything unfolding in a small, limited space like a play, was a breath of fresh air. It may not have had a significant impact on gameplay, but it added a unique and creative aspect to the game.

Major kudos to the developers of this game, in my humble opinion it deserves a very high rating !

Rover Under by ColeSlaughter 2023-10-07T21:00:11Z ♥ 3

I absolutely love the flying and painting game! It's such a unique and enjoyable experience. The concept of soaring through a vast map while trying to paint it with your colors is not only fun but also oddly satisfying.

What makes this game even better is its team-building aspect. Playing with friends and working together to conquer the map adds a fantastic social element to the game. It's a great way to bond with friends or even build stronger connections with colleagues. Innovation category winner.

ASTROLIZWILL - An 80's Handheld Space Adventure by designernap 2023-10-07T09:22:13Z ♥ 2

Many years ago... I remembered my grandmother had an attic with some retro toys and games from the early eighties. These sounds, this feeling, it brings me back there. For people that know the movie "Ratatouille", I had the same moment the criticaster had at the end. Well done, great entry. I have trouble putting it down :)

Function f by Notinatal 2023-10-07T09:14:04Z ♥ 1

Simple yet effective, I like this type of educational games. If only I would have had this when I was learning algebra 20 years ago... Great and solid entry !

AnathemA by 3mpty 2023-10-07T07:24:17Z ♥ 1

If there were a category for atmosphere, you'd instantly have won (mood +5 for sure). This all comes together so nicely. Difficulty ramping is perfect for a Jam, the weapons feel crunchy... I don't have much comments at all. One of my favorites !

PHYLLON by bradjste 2023-10-04T22:37:05Z ♥ 1

Very interesting concept. It surely needs some polish to make it feel more crisp and intuitive, but there's definitely potential. As a bioinformatician I really appreciate life sciences and biotech inspired games. Overall, great entry, but needs some oompf :)

Pegaseal by Miller 2023-10-04T22:34:54Z ♥ 1

Augmented Reality is underrated. This is extremely cool and I want to personally thank you for making it. Well done, max scores all round, as everything came together. I'll be sure to let my kids have a go, I'm sure they'll have a blast !

Quetzals & Ladders by jkyd 2023-10-04T22:30:03Z ♥ 3

Impressive concept with engaging gameplay! I thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough to the very end. One standout feature was the remarkably well-executed movement animations of the snake – achieving smooth snake movement on a grid is no small feat, and you've nailed it here.

Bit Golf by badcop 2023-10-04T22:23:01Z ♥ 1

I've seen this being made and I've seen BadCop rise up like a phoenix... The theme broke the man but he just got up and spun out this beauty :) Great entry, fits the theme perfectly and is innovative as can be. Thank you for making this !

Plate of War by someoneman 2023-10-04T22:20:09Z ♥ 1

Very decent entry :) Well done and thank you. I love the particular style of visuals you've used !

Escape from the clutches by Anton4ik-dev 2023-10-04T22:18:37Z ♥ 1

I truly appreciate the exceptional artwork and the wonderful voice acting in the game; they genuinely enhance the overall experience. It's undeniably cute and enjoyable. However, there are some aspects of the gameplay that I believe could benefit from improvement.

I find myself frequently relying on a specific set of actions, such as spamming attacks and utilizing specific abilities like stunning and shielding against particular enemy attacks. It would be wonderful if the gameplay encouraged more diverse strategies and tactics to keep it engaging throughout.

Additionally, I've noticed that sometimes the game's victory conditions feel a bit abrupt. It would be more satisfying if there were opportunities for a more gradual depletion of my health before the final confrontation. This would add an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the gameplay.

Overall, I genuinely adore the game, and I believe that these minor adjustments could make it even more enjoyable for players like me who appreciate a bit more variety and depth in their gaming experiences.

The Fregstival by Honest Dan 2023-10-04T22:01:38Z ♥ 1

Every time I think you guys reached the peak of creativity in an LD entry, you flip the table (pun intended) and come up with something as crazy as a food-fight frog banquet. Love the graphics, love the feel, it all clicks together by itself. Everything feels very natural and challenging. So far, my favorite entry !

Robo Rush Hour by michaelaranda 2023-10-04T21:56:57Z ♥ 2

Great entry! At first it was pretty rough to figure out where the blocks were going, but once my tiny bird-brain wrapped around it, I really enjoyed it. Everything comes together nicely :) Thank you for making this !

A Pawfect Date: Pomo's Cozy Romance by Pomo 2023-10-04T21:26:26Z ♥ 1

Great job :) Every little bit is entertaining, but the cherry on top for me is the music. Loved it.

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-04T21:15:54Z ♥ 3

Amazing entry, addictive as heck! The audio is perfection :) I'll bookmark this one to get that highscore later on ;) Well done.

Calamari Odyssey by Samuli 2023-10-04T21:03:59Z ♥ 2

Very fast game. It literally goes from zero to 100 in no time flat. It might be nice to have the difficulty ramp up a bit , so players can easily learn what the goal is. But apart from gameplay, and this is coming from someone who grew up on DOOM, this first person billboarded game is really cool ! :D

Shark Barrage 2: Farming to Freedom Edition by borjan1peovski 2023-10-04T20:59:48Z ♥ 0

Oof, by reading the comments I realize that I'm not alone in this. It's not the easiest of games to understand, maybe you could provide a more elaborate tutorial on the game's page? Other than that, nice management game, great entry :)

Carrotiles by ValentinWB 2023-10-04T20:56:12Z ♥ 1

I love this entry. Sure it needs more polish, obviously... it's a game jam game, all participants would say the same :) But what really sold this one is the magic by which you introduce game mechanics to the player. Well done, solid entry !

Rafty Crab by kuviman 2023-10-04T20:49:45Z ♥ 1

Another Kuvi Classic, can play this for an entire stream. It all comes together, love it Speaking of, did you know this man streams the development during LD? Thank you so much for making this and for being the background noise I needed!

Cavescape by Tomssuli 2023-10-04T20:44:45Z ♥ 5

I am actually completely jealous about the detail and cleverness that went in the level design. I like it, it feels fresh for the longest of times. Great job !

Hydro Rise by fatEmperor 2023-10-04T20:42:14Z ♥ 3

I was thoroughly impressed by the stunning graphics and the incredible detail put into the water in this game. It's a visual feast, and I can't wait to see how this promising title evolves and potentially becomes an even more expansive and immersive experience.

Space Corridor by Hora-Timer 2023-10-04T20:40:22Z ♥ 1

I'm honestly not sure what to make of this :) I am going to be positive and praise you for the work, for sure. But you're clearly using assets that you don't have the rights to, which are the main part of your presentation. You probably should have opted out of graphics for that reason.

Auto Crabler by Lenan 2023-10-04T20:37:47Z ♥ 1

While the game could benefit from some additional polishing in terms of graphics and overall presentation, I found the gameplay experience to be quite enjoyable and engaging. With some further refinement, this game has the potential to become a real gem in the gaming world !

Bimbi's Cosmo Party by Frib 2023-10-04T20:35:45Z ♥ 3

This is a lot of complexity for such a short jam ! Highly impressed, great job.

Rush Hour by benskca 2023-10-04T20:32:40Z ♥ 1

Oh dear lord, this brings so many ideas at the same time to my tiny head... I'm having clear fall guys vibes... combined with some drifting Mario Kart style... Then I realized this is how real life works. But ok back to your game, the graphics are simple yet effective, the audio fits the same bill. It all fits together, well done !

Legends of Lore by siberpunk01 2023-10-04T20:30:27Z ♥ 2

This was very fun and definitely worth grabbing my controllers from under the dust ! Insanely good music. This is one of those games that can be the seed to something bigger :)

Chemical Rakoon by Nougato 2023-10-04T20:28:28Z ♥ 3

Ok... I love the artwork and the aesthetics , it all comes nicely together. I'm a big fan of high atmosphere games and you've really pulled it off !

LD54 - Pack-Man's limited space by Ifman1 2023-10-04T20:26:48Z ♥ 1

Great take. It needs some polish but this is a Jam game :)

Contact Range by QueenOfSquiggles 2023-10-04T20:24:45Z ♥ 1

Some serious binding of isaac vibes :) I liked it. I honestly have to admit I felt disoriented sometimes, but that might as well have been the post LD fatigue :) Nonetheless, I like this !

Trilunaris by Rusya_Ink 2023-10-04T20:23:03Z ♥ 3

I like this game :) Very relaxed, the type of feeling I had first playing "Spore". Low poly for the win !

LD54_Clean the Valley by mr_lazy 2023-10-04T20:21:22Z ♥ 2

This is a great zen game, very smooth atmosphere. Love the Bob-Ross-Esque background. Some more contrast would have been fun but nonetheless great entry, well done ! :)

Harvest or Die by Ninnec 2023-01-12T18:17:32Z ♥ 1

Very nice concept ! Simple but effective ! I love the art style and the atmosphere, the audio matches really nicely. Great job on the mechanics, it really keeps you on your toes. Well done, thank you for making it !

Click On Fish by Pomo 2023-01-12T17:00:22Z ♥ 1

Pomo... Your games are always breaking me. For as long as I've followed your LD adventures. You keep on doing it... And I love you for it. Music is up there, Scope is up there, theme... Graphics... You once more had the entire package. Well done !

It's a Platformer by acdimalev 2023-01-11T20:04:46Z ♥ 2

As a person that fixes gameboy colors as a hobby... I can only say... thank you

Mun Fields by MadreDeDios 2023-01-11T20:01:27Z ♥ 3

I'm keeping this one, pretty sure my kids will love this as well ! Nice execution of a simple concept. Thank you for making it :)

Racing Reaper by Crygos 2023-01-11T20:00:05Z ♥ 2

Absolutely love it :) You've scoped the game very well, didn't need much extra. Actually I can summarize my experience as follows : "Pakaawk"

Carrot: Journey to the Surface by DJTequila 2023-01-11T19:54:28Z ♥ 1

Nice and clean :) Does what it needs to do ! Having the directional buttons for different attacks didn't bother me as much, but I'm also used to playing Binding of Isaac :) Well done, thanks for making this !

Vegetables Hunter by Vladimir ins 2023-01-11T19:49:46Z ♥ 1

I like the game :) Could it be your zip isn't made correctly? It needs to have the index.html in the root. So don't zip the folder, instead select everything in it and zip that ! :)

Isle of Harvest by StevenColling 2023-01-11T19:47:10Z ♥ 1

I love the low poly vibes! I could easily play this for a couple of hours :D Very nicely made, great job, thank you for making this :)

ZenBox by anstabo 2023-01-11T19:45:58Z ♥ 1

This game is great... You've picked a perfect name, I was zenning out ! This is a keeper and should be a top contender for art if you ask me :)

Elonkorjuu - Live Harvest by Tutti Ankka 2023-01-11T19:39:45Z ♥ 2

This is so cool ! Brings back my first experiences in FPS (DOOM, Wolfenstein 3D, ...). Amazing ! I hope you continue this project and add some more dynamics to it (see comments above), but for a 72 hour game? Sheesh !

The organ trees by elFlashor 2023-01-11T19:36:38Z ♥ 1

Very nice take on the theme, really enjoyed it. I like the graphics, they work well with the atmosphere. And yes, it took some time to figure it out, perhaps you could create a youtube video showing some gameplay? :)

Super Plant Farm by superpokeunicorn 2023-01-11T16:55:14Z ♥ 1

Very nice game ! Reminds of one of the unity tutorials ^-^ I love the pacing, high energy and I'm a sucker for pixel art. Overall a great entry, well done.

Puppet show! by mitus 2023-01-11T16:52:31Z ♥ 1

This was really nice ! I felt like actually watching a puppet show. Well done, thank you for submitting this !

Cattle Juice by Togis 2023-01-10T22:33:27Z ♥ 2

Completed the harvest ! I am amazed how you turned the concept into a real time strategy tower defense. Really enjoyed it, very atmospheric. Let's just hope these aliens don't find their way into REAL Belgium ;)

Drag & Box by MrAlcoro 2022-10-10T19:48:16Z ♥ 2

This is a very original take on the game ! I like it a lot. The difficulty does not ramp up and it seems pretty "right in your face". It would be nice to have a little "warming up" phase where players get to really know the mechanics, adding more and more each time, unlocking bigger boxes along the way for example. Also, once or twice my order didn't go through. I also am not sure if the packing peanuts are really needed or not, but then again I'm a bubble wrap person :D Thank you for making this !

#1 Button Presser by Jvdwijk 2022-10-05T21:01:05Z ♥ 5

Very well done, I'm a sub-par button presser as expected ! I really like the esthetics, they bring me back to my childhood computer. Love it ! Perhaps the fire rate could be higher to make it EXTRA click-spammy, but I really enjoyed it, well done, beautiful entry ! :)

Bomb Squirrel by shmador 2022-10-05T20:47:56Z ♥ 1

This is just lovely, it brings me back to my childhood WIN95 machine with free demo discs (god... I miss those). Well done ! Clever mechanics and love me some nice pixel art. The audio loop is perhaps a bit short BUT... in all fairness, this is LD. Well done and congratulations with a lovely game !

10 seconds Delirium by Furano 2022-10-05T20:26:49Z ♥ 1

This is a really nice casual game! It goes on forever but it honestly never got really boring. The focus is clearly on the atmosphere and the graphics do reflect this. Very nice entry, was a pleasure to play ! Well done !

Crazy Ball by Lawrence 2022-10-05T20:14:56Z ♥ 4

This is perfect mobile game material, well done. This is definitely something I'd whip out at the bus stop for a quick play. It all comes together nicely, the feedback you get is very satisfying, the obstacles falling down is honestly such fun, they always get you. Simple, but most effective, a beautiful LD entry !

Dr. Word's Machine by Kaish 2022-10-05T19:43:44Z ♥ 5

This game is amazing, we had a blast playing it ! We love doing escape rooms and it really was challenging and interesting, trying out all options and finding the solution. The sound effects are magical and even though they're just words, they help you imagine an entire room ! Well done, one of my favorite entries !

Do it slowly by epeachyband 2022-10-05T19:15:16Z ♥ 1

I love this entry, well done. It has real speedrunner vibes ! It did feel weird at first having mid-air control etc, but You quickly appreciate it. The camera needs some work (it clips walls and it is not clear where to go), but that can also be part of the puzzle mechanic I believe. Either way, great job and nice entry !

Trashpunk by Pomo 2022-10-05T18:57:18Z ♥ 1

This is the coolest game I've played so far, it takes some time to get the concept but I'm really in favor. The only "advice" I'd have is to add a direction indicator, or use a "crosshair" mousecursor, it blends in with the level too much and that makes it pretty hard to spot. But overall, you've outdone yourself, this is a gem !

Ski freeVENGE by Rein 2022-10-05T18:35:31Z ♥ 1

Well done, great game, thank you for making this. The only thing I was missing a little bit is the background audio. Don't get me wrong, I love your voice lines, they crack me up ! TACTICAL NUKE ! ... However, that extra spice would have made this even better. Well done !

SENSATIONS by etrealjunior 2022-10-05T18:24:19Z ♥ 3

Very nice entry ! Very original, it has a polished look and it certainly was not giving me any reason to grab a bottle of beer right now. Sometimes it did not feel fair, maybe some checkpoints would have been nice. I do appreciate the effort of showing an audience the dangers and difficulties surrounding alcoholism. If you would expand a bit more on the challenges, beyond just platforming, I see this being really good ! Excellent job, thank you for having me play it at twitch.tv/drjavasaurus

Ground From Under Feet by wild_fat 2022-04-12T18:00:50Z ♥ 1

This is a really nice game, very well put together and challenging as HECK... I could barely last for over a minute. The only thing missing was some extra "oompf" in terms of maybe a background music? Other than that, really enjoyed it, thank you for submitting !

Aloft by ColeSlaughter 2022-04-11T20:25:44Z ♥ 3

This entry really is amazing, I got goosebumps when I first saw the art ! SO cool ! It fits the theme and athmosphere, as does the audio. The concept seems to be simple but it really takes a good amount of hand-eye coordination, it makes it WAY harder than you'd think at first glance. Well done, love the entry, goes in my "finish this, it has a great ending cutscene" pile :D

Crystalysis by jordantanner 2022-04-11T20:08:47Z ♥ 1

This is a fun game ! The intention is clear and the particle systems is very satisfying. The crunch you get when punching crystals is also well designed, great job ! And, as you suggested... It is really responsive and buttery smooth playing with controller. Love it !

Different Strokes by Scott Steffes 2022-04-11T19:57:19Z ♥ 3

This is ... simply amazing... The audio ... the Gallery... the creations... the anonymous collaborations... The (almost) mandatory naughty drawings... It is a complete experience... I literally have nothing bad to say, this is just IT ! This would be great to see as a completed title, with more features (a color picker would have been so nice, but on the other hand... Limitations nourish creativity ! This one , my friends... is the winner of LD50.

Super Mowser Bros by Guilloteam 2022-04-11T19:02:29Z ♥ 2

Great entry, I adore the visuals and the audio loop is just ... so smooth... it doesn't get old at all ! You've mentioned difficulty scaling in chat, but this is a game jam ! Obviously it's not trivial to get it right the first time... And I still love it :) There still is a genuine feeling of urgency, so you build maniacally only THEN to realize... it's all chill. Very well made, one of my favorites so far !!! :) Congratulations !

Farm Dog by Trypants 2022-04-11T18:41:54Z ♥ 3

This game is hilarious. Very well made and polished ! Love it. I would like to have a more "oompf" hit effect when I hit a target though. Other than that, this is going on my "play this again later" shelf ! :D Thank you for making this :)

Safe Spot by egordorichev 2022-04-11T18:32:31Z ♥ 3

Really nice work , well put together. I love the atmosphere you bring forward. Also very impressive work on the shader, it helps "blend in" the sentiment and goal of the game. I had a few hiccups trying to figure out what was going on, perhaps a delay on pickup/drop would be useful. In any case, really nice work and thank you for submitting !

Re: Placement by Outfrost 2022-04-11T18:16:36Z ♥ 3

I love this entry, it's a real brain breaker ! Love the mechanics, it's very polished and I enjoy playing it. Maybe, perhaps... somewhat??? Difficult :D But I would love to have a slightly better way to have depth perception, now I was pretty much spamclicking by round tree because my old boomer head couldn't wrap itself around the 3D-ness ^-^ Maybe adding a color or a way to "closer inspect " the configrations could be usefull. EITHER way, thank you for submitting this, I really enjoyed it !

Keep It Steaming by Jvdwijk 2022-04-11T17:50:06Z ♥ 4

I love the look and feel of this game. Similar like other minigame based games (think among us without the killing), I really find it impressive this was all done in just a single LD. Well done ! Really enjoyed playing this. Perhaps a little bit of screenshake and arrows indicating where you must run off to would increase the sense of urgency. But still, really enjoyable !

Down to the Wire by Mieeh 2022-04-08T20:08:39Z ♥ 4

This game is really well put together, simple yet very close to perfection. The controls are very smooth and it feels pretty satisfying when you are able to finish a level. The mechanics are consistently introduced to the player in a nice design, very well done. See this doing pretty well ! Maybe add a level select and/or a more clear "urgency" queue for when the timer runs out, I was focussing badly on the level and I had no clue I was running out of time. But ... nonetheless... I really enjoyed this one !

Populus Romanus by Bauke Regnerus 2022-04-08T19:53:02Z ♥ 1

This game certainly does bring a classic RTS vibe, however it is a pure bred puzzle game and I really enjoy it. It's a pretty sweet master mind where you play your past and future self. Love it ! Graphics are simple yet clean, very minimalistic UI... Very interested, can't wait to see what you'll do with this. I can see this being a big hit with actual tiny people running about in your city ^-^ Thank you for submitting, top 10 possible for SURE !

Diamond in the Rough by ProdigalSon 2022-04-08T19:39:37Z ♥ 2

I've never seen any game with these mechanics, it's amazing ! SO cool, very well made :) Love it. The only thing I would maybe suggest is adding waves of enemies of some sort, as you have the combat mechanic ready anyway! But overall, this is a very very very fun game and I really enjoy it. Bookmarking this ^-^

Protocol Delta by itsBoats 2022-04-08T19:30:17Z ♥ 1

Very well put together, everything is smooth and polished !!! 10/10 want to play this again. Will bookmark this one for sure. Very well made, simple mechanics but executed near perfectly. Very high score incoming ! :D Thank you for submitting !

The Lars Mission by Honest Dan 2022-04-08T19:19:04Z ♥ 3

I love this game so much, perfect entry. You guys keep inspiring every LD and the work you deliver is amazing. This game is pretty similar to what my oldest son loves to play. Everything was matching up so wel, the level design was pretty optimal, leaving room for different routes, which isn't always simple in these "overcooked" type of games. Well done to all of you and THANK YOU for making this !

Cave companion by Josh Bothun 2022-04-07T20:04:54Z ♥ 0

This game is put together very nicely, especially in such a short timeframe. I love the idea of having a creature companion, to gain its trust to solve logical puzzles. Very well done ! Seems like quite the challenge to have coded this in a single jam. Impressive ! Thank you for submitting.

The Denevetable by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2022-04-07T19:51:17Z ♥ 2

Very nice spin on the theme ! Enjoyed it, it looks amazing and the camera/shader combination is on poin. Really enjoyable ! Minecraft Dungeon vibes right there. SOLID entry, thank you so much for sumbitting this ! :)

Will There Bee Another? by Gabriel Dias Oliveira de Almeida 2022-04-07T19:41:30Z ♥ 2

This game is so nice, it reminds me of this toy-phone thingy my sister used to have (smartphone weren't a thing but you could call and talk to your "date"). Very nice, the art is incredibly well put together in such a short time ! Really nice. I hope you can work on it more in the future and add like character customization and perhaps a "procedural" aspect, so you don't have to hardcode anything ! VERY well made, thank you so much for submitting

Adelie - Chasing Pavements by Meep 2022-04-07T19:32:01Z ♥ 1

Thank you for submitting this, really enjoy the retro games. I'd have played this game for DAYS in my young days on an NES... Really challenging and fun. Unique and smart mechanics and the pixel art... well it's just so darn cute I want to lick it :D

Pixel-Panic by IdeasPerSecond 2022-04-07T19:24:15Z ♥ 1

Very nice game, ready to be released on mobile ! Great concept, great execution, controls are smooth, bullet time is bug-free, impressive entry ! Thank you for submitting this !

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-07T19:17:52Z ♥ 1

Very cool entry ! Max score on innovation for sure. It is seemingly very simple, but it is also executed perfectly. Can see myself wasting hours on this to do better. Well done ! Thank you for submitting this gem !

Doomsday Run by Kaish 2022-04-07T19:06:58Z ♥ 1

Hey ! This is a very solid entry. Simple concept but then again it is executed to perfection. Love it ! Only minor "comment" I have is that I don't really see the need for the big panel on the left side, the gamescreen could have been a bit bigger then. Either way, really enjoyed it , thank you !

Day of the Flame - LD 50 by arya-s 2022-04-07T18:54:00Z ♥ 1

Hey ! Great entry, thanks for submitting it and having us play it. I really love the particle system for the flames, it is so responsive and nice, I'd just jump around simply to stare at it :D The rat boss also gave me MAJOR duck tales (NES) vibes. WELL done !

Seed Of Time by theStoff 2022-04-07T18:36:29Z ♥ 1

Really great entry, love the pixel art and it meshes great with the audio. I love the speedrun aspect and controller support felt very natural. The teleport mechanic is also very smooth and feels just right (Celeste style). Recommend for sure ! Well done :)

Jailbound Joyride by AmberFall92 2022-04-07T18:17:28Z ♥ 2

This is a great solid entry, definitely top 10 worthy. We play it for hours on end, my son was chuckling all the way through. The audio, aestethics, controls... there is so much polish I'd expect to find this on the google play store ! WELL done !!!!

Inevitable Seige by Hawke Games 2022-04-07T18:03:39Z ♥ 1

We made it till day 7 , well done, excellent game loop and fits the theme nicely. Tower defenses are hard to balance but this one felt very fair. Well don't and thank you for making this game !

Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-07T17:51:37Z ♥ 2

This is amazing ! So much fun, I want to dedicate a full stream just to play this with my viewers ! :) Well done and incredibly impressive that you were able to put together a solid multiplayer game in only this short time. Love it ! Nostalgia bomb ! :D

Carpe Diem by Pomo 2022-04-07T17:37:39Z ♥ 1

Pomo... This is amazing ! It's addictive, the music and graphics all come together and brings back memories of my childhood with this one game I can't remember the name off... PLUS WHIPEOUT... it's really good , solid entry and I will be playing way more of it !

ENDURACE - Drift Or Die by Phillip Scott 2022-04-05T22:05:09Z ♥ 3

Great game ! Love the particle systems, they give so much oompf to the gameplay. Satisfaction when you see another car explode ! Well done :)

Giraffe o'Clock by Kepsert 2022-04-05T21:25:44Z ♥ 1

Thanks for making this game, really appreciate it, it is a very nice game, the levels are very very very very well designed, just a minor "annoyance" would be the blind jumps that feel a bit unfair as you don't know where to go, but that's actually surpassable with pure and unbridled platformer experience ! Really love the mechanics, the controls are buttery smooth and the ledge "biting" is insanely cute ! WELL DONE !!!!

Stallar by Wendel Scardua 2022-04-05T20:56:53Z ♥ 1

Really really really am impressed by yet another NES classic, I wish I had a ROM cartridge to pop this in the olde NES toaster and go for it ! SPOILERS people, the goal is the avoid the goal ! :D

STAY by etrealjunior 2022-04-05T20:46:33Z ♥ 1

Thanks for making this game, it's a very interesting and nice platformer. It would be nice to see if you can take this further, but 3 levels in a game jam that are still this interesting and polished is very impressive. Well done !

HANG UP! by Jesse J. Jones 2022-04-05T20:01:14Z ♥ 4

Very nice audio ! Love the art, really challenging and nice to warm up my old cracky fingers when I want to start a massive crunch-time programming session. Love this , going to score quite high I expect !!!!

Keep It Standing by Scarounet 2021-10-12T21:11:06Z ♥ 1

Hey there, great entry, really enjoyed it, seems like a very decent mobile game. The difficulty is ramping nicely, got to level 8 by accident where the trophee literally backflipped and did a full 720 frog splash landing on the perfect spot. Felt good, not gonna lie ! Thank you for making this.

Toby Kangaroo by Ulisses 2021-10-12T21:03:08Z ♥ 1

Hi there, thank you for making this. It pulls you right in, but it really felt "unstable" at times, where the slightest tap would imply game over, where the next turn I could literally faceplant and still be alive... Overall, REALLY nice entry, well done ! Could become a great mobile game if the controls are simplified and a bit more robust.

Unstable Lava by Weenie Walker Games 2021-10-12T20:56:05Z ♥ 1

This looks pretty good, but it is not fully clear what the intention of the game is, it feels like a very nice demo for interactibles (I love the shakey-disappearing floor bit, I wish there was more emphasis on that aspect !). I absolutely loved the mouth-voice sound effects, well done ! Thank you for making this, hope to see you take it further!

Spintop by wormius 2021-10-12T20:49:15Z ♥ 0

This is strangely addictive, I have to say, it is one of the more original takes on the theme, really enjoyed it, thanks for making this ! Maybe a background music would have spiced it up, but as I said, it was calming and actually a nice "just chatting" game ! Well done !

Earthquakes and Monsters by FancyReckless 2021-10-09T09:58:56Z ♥ 1

Really like this entry. Maybe it could be made in a proper idle game, very interesting concept and I love that the story is actually part of the incremental development of your village. Well made, lots of fun !

Only downside is lack of audio, some basic 8 bit tunes / effects could really make this POP !

Overall, great entry, thank you for letting me play it !

Manicat by RexTGun 2021-10-09T09:38:35Z ♥ 1

This...game...is... AWESOME !!!! Well done, very cool concept, would make for a very nice stream game if for example chat on twitch can select the randomization / weaponry / enemies. This was pure instability at its core, matching the theme in a very meta way... WELL done, thank you for making this !

Feed Me Pizza! by yikescloud 2021-10-09T09:24:35Z ♥ 1

This is beautiful. It might very well have been a secret cuphead (sausage boy?) level. Really amazing artwork, it all comes together so nicely. The grunting of the pigs induced fear and panic, really well done, thank you for making this ! One minor comment would be that the difficulty ramps up rather slowly, it is very hard to lose the game ! Maybe it would be cool to have the timer increase instead of decrease, to make it somehow competitive. Great entry ! Top 10 for SURE !!!!!

W O B B L E by Gus Goucher 2021-10-06T15:04:45Z ♥ 2

Hey, thank you for making this game, we had a LOT of fun playing and even turned it into a co-op game, where I was controlling the keyboard and my son was using the mouse to "troll" me (and sometimes actually help me solve the level). Great aesthetic , very nicely done. The audio also seemed to bug out on edge however, just letting you know ! CHEERS !

Reaction Transaction by megamasterx 2021-10-06T14:47:56Z ♥ 2

Lovely game, had a blast playing it, fun take on the theme and it looks really polished ! Well done , thank you so much for making this. We will be playing it again later !

Orbitris by BOOtak 2021-10-06T14:26:08Z ♥ 1

Very interesting game, but maybe a bit complex, it took a while to understand what was going on, but I do appreciate the innovation, haven't seen other entries like this today ! Well done.

**Note** Fullscreen mode didn't work and using the arrow keys just moves the window, so I recommend using wasdf

Office Novice by HermesEs 2021-10-06T14:18:32Z ♥ 2

Great entry, it is fun to see a take on the theme where the situation is literally so instable, when you miss a task it can all snowball into pure MAYHEM... Hey, it's more than fine, this is great ^-^

Everything comes together nicely, well done !

Thank you for making this game.

BoomBoy by NaNda-sbr 2021-10-06T14:08:32Z ♥ 1

I would imagine this could be a very nice little mobile game, we enjoyed playing it, feels snappy and crips, I wonder what the highest score will be !

Captain Peggles by Sheepolution 2021-10-05T21:31:56Z ♥ 2

Beautiful, absolutely love it ! The difficulty ramping could be a little bit more steep, but overall I really enjoyed it. Scored well on all categories !

Unstable Luggage by SternGames 2021-10-05T19:04:24Z ♥ 1

I like this game, well done, I've seen games of you in the past and I notice you are growing as an indie dev ! As mentionned, the font is a game changer, it is to blurry currently to clearly distinguish. For example it was hard to tell the difficulties were buttons and not part of the background. Still, thank you so much for making this.

Unstable Tricky Table by Pomo 2021-10-04T16:28:06Z ♥ 1

Love this game so much, VERY well done Pomo ! Great entry, controls feel fair. Maybe an added indicator where your block is about to land, the shadows achieve the same but sometimes it gets pretty finicky to figure out what/where I'm placing a block.

But as I said, love it !

Deeper Well by Feraligatr 2021-05-08T20:37:07Z ♥ 2

This theme has produced many resource management games, but this one stands out quite a bit. The audio works very nicely, the upgrade system was well balanced, as I didn't really feel the snowballing effect you often have in these games. WHICH IS A GOOD THING, the challenge remains throughout the playthrough from start to finish. The artwork is also very fitting of the game, nothing too detailed, but the buildings aren't just generic blobs as well, I love that style! Certainly a high-scoring entry. Hope to see more of it !

Robo-Driller by Famicon80 2021-05-05T21:28:12Z ♥ 1

Great dig dug clone. Really like it, even the look and feel match up nicely ! Thanks for making it !

Treasures Of The Depths by Uzpykes 2021-05-05T21:26:46Z ♥ 1

Very interesting concept ! Would love to see this grow into a full project. Certainly scoring high on theme !

Thanks for making this, cheers !

Penguin Trouble by Elllelel 2021-05-05T21:21:38Z ♥ 0

Great idea and I love what you managed to do in just 48 hours ! Maybe some extra polish to make it pop would have helped you a lot (bubbles, engine sound, fish that wiggle tails for example). Just small things can go a long way ! Great stuff, thanks for making this.

Sub_Mission by Chyrion 2021-05-05T21:15:55Z ♥ 0

I like the overal style of your game. The intention was stated clear, the means by how to do that a little bit less. I do like the concept and the boat controlled smoothly. I was wondering what the difference is between just keep pushing onwards, full throttle... and just taking your time to enjoy the environment?

Tomb of the Old Gods by Dylan Fries 2021-05-05T21:10:44Z ♥ 1

I like the art and the storyline is captivating. Well done. The "drilling" sound is really putting emphasis on the atmosphere, but I have to say it did become quite "annoying" after a while. Overall, well done !

GraveDigger by nosfer 2021-04-30T13:07:18Z ♥ 1

I like the destructible terrain, feels quite satisfying to dig in it. The art is in style and nothing is really out of shape or place. The only remark I have is that the controls feel kinda sluggish, making it just a bit harder to play, but overall, WELL done ! :)

Explanation Department by meownsk 2021-04-30T13:04:26Z ♥ 2

Hey ! I got an occulus quest 2 recently and this actually was so cool to play. Well done ! :D I wouldn't play it after dark though, I think I'd just completely destroy my room being all panicky, because the mood is perfectly set up for that !

Deeper In The Night by Lorwon 2021-04-30T13:02:25Z ♥ 0

This is pretty sweet ! I can't remember the exact name of the game I used to play, but this definitely takes me back pre-minecraft days. Very brave choice to aim for only modern GPU's, would it be an option to record a short playthrough for those that can't play it? (Just a suggestion)

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-30T12:59:37Z ♥ 0

Great game with outstanding graphics, amazing work to have completed in just 48 hours! The atmosphere is really nice. I will be replaying this with my son for sure ! Well done !

Deepsea Alchemy by Hugimugi7 2021-04-29T20:03:54Z ♥ 1

I like this game, it is relaxing and very enjoyable. The physics feel very natural and it doesn't feel too repetitive to gather materials. Well done, thanks for making this ! The intro text was quite the read but it all made sense. Definitely going to replay this ! I love the look of the game, it has a certain terraria feel to it, especially the items that drop.

Squiddies decent by Rialgar 2021-04-29T19:54:42Z ♥ 1

Well done, great game ! Simple yet hard to put down. I love it :) I think this is a great game / fidget game to play when suffering from anxiety, it surely helped me calm down post LD ! :D LOVE IT

Legend of the Goblin Hoard by Bauke Regnerus 2021-04-29T19:45:45Z ♥ 1

Hey there ! I really like this game a lot, It's quite immersive, especially considering you made this in only a couple of games... It just made me want to keep on smashing goblin faces ! If you keep working on this, please do let me know, I want you to follow it up for sure ;)

ROOTS by TheGreenWorm 2021-04-29T19:42:17Z ♥ 2

Very nice game ! :) I will be studying this source code. Very enjoyable, a bit more polish and this would sell as is app stores across all mobile platforms :)

Pit Ball by Akusan 2021-04-29T19:39:01Z ♥ 0

I love this type of physics games, a ZEN mode would be amazing (where you can't die). Great concept ! The only thing I would suggest is to have a bit less obstacles so you have more wiggly room to move them about/ delete them. I think it would feel more fair that way !

Deep Below Ground by v0idpointer 2021-04-29T19:35:02Z ♥ 1

First off all... This gets my certified Java stamp of approval. It is very brave to build something like this from scratch in only two days. People will often underestimate this and I actually really enjoyed it...

This has mid 90's vibes for me, it takes me back. The artwork supports that and the gameplay feels natural, well done. As mentioned before it tends to get a little bit repetitive but in the end, this was made in 2 days guys, amazing work !

DO NOT INSERT INSIDE THE EAR CANAL!!! by cheesepencil 2021-04-28T22:16:13Z ♥ 1

Sometimes the most basic ideas turn into something very fun to play. Definitely the case here ! Well done, everything you'd think of is needed for a game like this was present. Well done, thank you for making this!

Rabbit Rappel by MatterLinx 2021-04-28T22:10:04Z ♥ 2

Great game, it is fun to try and explore all the way to get there. Can't wait to see this grow into a dream-steam game. I love the graphics, the mechanics fit well together. All that was missing was some gun-audio and that sort of polish, but it is definitely more than to be expected during a jam. Thank you for making this, well done ! <3

​Nyctophobia by TheJohnyFeeD 2021-04-28T21:57:01Z ♥ 1

Amazing game, really love how the picking up of items works, very reminiscent of resident evil and dino crisis. Really enjoyed the "enter the gungeon vibes". I hope you take this further into a rogue like dungeon crawler, guns felt amazing and fair. Well done !

Rex's Wizardspace by RexTGun 2021-04-28T21:38:00Z ♥ 1

As a Potterhead, I really appreciate this game. This , released about 20 years ago? Would have seriously changed my life as I would not have gotten out of the house at all and would have been stuck to my PSX. Well done, love it, would probably be awesome in VR as well. Thank you for creating and sharing this !

Sheppard by PeaNud 2021-04-28T20:57:40Z ♥ 1

Hey there, thanks for sharing this game with me on stream, was a pleasure to play it. I love the art style and the boss mechanics are well thought through, they actually remind me of Magnus, a maplestory boss. Well done, good job !

The Bonekest Dungeon by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2021-04-28T16:17:00Z ♥ 3

Really enjoyed the atmosphere, great entry. Reminds me of "Solstice". Thank you for making this ! Maybe if you would turn this game into a full game, I would suggest adding some basic puzzle mechanics. As you mentionned, this was on the planning, but one can not have it all in a jam. Nonetheless , excellent entry, one of my favorites so far !

D. Per & Dee Per: Treasure Hunters by gamesplusjames 2021-04-28T15:55:19Z ♥ 2

Really like this entry, thank you for making it, it's a very fun crisp experience and you really had me giggling ! Well done, per usual ! :D

PANEMUAN by etrealjunior 2021-04-28T15:36:51Z ♥ 1

Very nicely made game, it really brought across the message and set a mood. Loved the artstyle, well done ! Thank you for making this !

Deep Investigation by Dmitry Koblyk 2021-04-28T15:12:43Z ♥ 1

Me and my son loved playing this so much ! Thank you for making it, people underestimate how good a point and click adventure can be. CLASSIC ! Worth making into a fully fledged game ! <3

You Know The Drill by Maksime 2021-04-28T15:01:28Z ♥ 2

This is a very interesting incremental game ! I really liked playing it, I kept getting more and more curious on what an upgrade would do. Very well made. I've played this on stream, if you want you could have a look at the VOD at twitch.tv/DrJavaSaurus.

Annoying falling game by TomH1 2021-04-27T20:51:18Z ♥ 0

Good job, it doesn't matter how elaborate or complex your game is, the fact to the matter is you finished something in only 2 days ! Not that many people can say that ;) Thank you for making this !

Not Enough by Toccio94 2020-10-22T20:22:28Z ♥ 2

Thanks for submitting this game at my stream [www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really enjoyed it! BUT NOT ENOUGH ! The controls are very decent and feel fair at all points. Even when things got a bit repetitive, they kept me on edge ! The audio wasn't lacking, it popped at the right times to really bring that vibe of "stop nagging and let me finish the game !". Screenshake? 11/10. Well done ! Honestly loved this one :)

Chicxulub by Literal Games 2020-10-22T19:43:19Z ♥ 1

Great game ! Had heaps of fun ! Reminds me of Dinosaur-Laser-Fight. Amazing, art works perfectly in synergy with audio, gameplay is fair and not slippery at all. As a fan of bullet hells, I really enjoyed this ! Thank you so much for submitting this at my stream ( [www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ) 280cd7713d4aaa2aa0b0a5776f32bac6.png

Terror of the Lazy River by Birdwards 2020-10-11T21:28:46Z ♥ 0

Hey there ! I really like this game, for the first time in my life I got to be a pool-bully ! Simple mechanics and honest gameplay, whenever I screwed up it always felt like I could have prevented it. That's a nice feeling. The audio is giving me chill swimming pool vibes, exactly what you went for I assume ! Well done !

West by ursagames 2020-10-11T21:24:28Z ♥ 1

Hey there ! Thanks for making this game, it's nicely executed (per usual, I know what you're capable of). I really like the storyline elements, as I mentionned on stream, you made "Westworld, the game" from the host perspective... During a game jam ! Well done :D

Paper Planes by SamDemaine 2020-10-10T20:11:12Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. I remember you were discussing the idea last saturday in stream and I was intrigued back then but BOY it turned out nice ! Gosh darn this is a potential winner in at least some categories :) Well done !

In The Loop by TheGamerASD 2020-10-10T15:38:55Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. Simple, single screen game with a minimalistic look. It gets the job done for sure ! Nice touch to change the little elements you could every playthrough (the paddle changing color). Controls are tight and responsive and honestly, the game feels very fair. When you mess up, you don't get the feeling the game tricked you. Simple concept but very well executed, perfectly on theme !

Astroline by Mr.developer 2020-10-10T15:37:23Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. This... is... fun ! DIE TOILET ZOMBIE, by means of a good old fashioned chainsawing ! Well done, the respawn mechanic is neat, it's fun to have a game where playing risky has little consequences. It even adds an element of strategy as you need to pick where you'll respawn to keep your weapons closeby. I liked it, well done ! Thank you !

Layers of time by Kaldrin 2020-10-10T15:34:35Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. This is great work and a lot of fun ! Surely there's some physics bugs happening where not everything is happening exactly as I remember doing it, but that is a typical "not a bug, it's a feature" situation. Unpredictable behavior? I'd call it added difficulty ! Either way, the game looks really well built and it feels ready. The puzzles are fun and it's cool that multiple solutions can be found for puzzles! Well done.

Never End by Finn_Tr 2020-10-10T15:32:41Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. Great game and perfectly scoped for a jam. The theme is clearly present and the visuals may seem simple at first glance, but they feel polished and are perfectly up to the task. I really enjoyed this game, it became playable after I realized I can dash in all directions. Great work ! Keep it up !

HONK II by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-10-10T15:30:52Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. Great sound, great visuals, great gameplay and tight controls. What more can I say? I had a blast playing this, it is challenging every time and every weapon feels well fleshed out. I particularly love the feel of the rocket launcher ! Well done, great entry !

A Game Devs Nightmare by DumbDumb 2020-10-10T15:29:21Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. I love this concept, surely there are some bugs to be solved but that's perfectly fine in the scope of a jam. A proper attempt to an interesting puzzle game with clear mechanics. I like it! I'm sorry I had to rush a bit through it while streaming, but I might just pick this one up again as it is a blast ! :) Game design wise, your tutorials and introductions to new mechanics are wonderful.

Vacuum Cleaner Simulator by Jasuse 2020-10-10T15:26:30Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. Great game, did not dissapoint, this is a roomba simulator ! Somehow it's relaxing as heck to be a duster-bot. I loved the atmosphere, well done ! :) Rebelling roomba's... I'll be watching that charging station out of the corner of my eye now <_<

Ludum Fair by AlexHicks 2020-10-09T23:09:07Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Rodeo-bear simulator! Great take on the loop theme, nice use of visual queues to indicate where to jump to. The chaos is complete but I caught myself gasping and (totally manly, not girly) screaming to try and keep myself on the platforms. Well done, very nicely executed. Can recommend ! Congratulations on your game :)

Re:Live by Ciber_Turtle 2020-10-09T23:06:22Z ♥ 3

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)! To recap, you should disable the compression settings when building the web build in Unity, it might resolve issues with the web build.

That being said, really quircky platformer ! Love the puzzles and the reset mechanic is implemented in a very elegant manner, reducing the feeling of "punishment" when you messed up a puzzle. The first couple of levels are quite easy to blaze through, but they also introduce the mechanics of the game in a very adequate fashion. Yet the difficulty ramps up to the point where you almost need to draw out on paper what you'll need to do to reach the target. Well executed, thumbs up !

Loopfield by MikoziQ 2020-10-09T23:03:40Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Great game, short and snappy, very efficient. It's finished, especially for a compo game. I found a great start to be just pointing down until something floats your way :D Only minor thing would be the missing in game-music, but it didn't really bother me all that much in the end

Hyperloop by very dark lord 2020-10-09T23:01:34Z ♥ 5

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). This game is beautiful and deserves praise. I see a lot of critisism above here and granted, the team is big in size, but nothing is stopping people from doing the exact same thing. Managing a team is a choice and definitely not as easy or as big of an advantage as you would think. I personally did compo and was alone, by choice. People have the right to form teams and that is what a game jam should all be about.

That being said, I enjoyed this game ! The shooting is fun, it had a jumpscare or two and it kept me on edge traversing and finding the switches. Well done, I for one really enjoyed it :)

Undead Carnival Carnage by dummydojo 2020-10-09T22:58:16Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). This concept is simply brilliant. It fits perfectly well with not only the theme, but also with the mechanics, the audio, the graphics, ... It just feels finished. Very responsive controls, making every loss feel fair. I really enjoyed this one, short game but extremely efficiently brought ! Love it.

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). As I told you on stream, feel proud about your compo entry. You finished a game AND you followed Compo rules, which are possibly the hardest out there for a starting dev. Your second LD entry? Darn good one. I loved the mechanics and the character models are really nice. Sure there are bugs, but don't feel to bad about them. Well done, keep it up, hope to see more of you around the game dev community ! ;)

Stuck in a Timeloop by Stefan B. 2020-10-09T22:52:36Z ♥ 4

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). A great implementation of the loop theme, challenging puzzles that are fun to solve. Surely, if I wouldn't have been streaming, I'd have continued to play. The art and audio feel fresh and well selected, the puzzles ramp up nicely and any mistake made feels fair. Well done, recommend ! :)

Epsilon - 2D Atmospheric Platformer by Sherwin Claridge 2020-10-09T22:49:04Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Great storygame with a perfect mood and atmosphere. Great use of post processing and floaty controls really match the premise of the game. Well executed, thank you for letting me play this ! :)

Time Loop by _Kassjak_ 2020-10-09T22:45:43Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really enjoyed the game and I love the simplistic, yet extremely efficient use of art and audio. One minor issue I have is that the bats fire way too enthusiastically, I had no idea what was going on as sometimes I popped back to one edge or continued my path to the next, which was confusing. Nonetheless, great entry! Well done

O O O by RexTGun 2020-10-09T22:43:39Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it ! Very interesting concept with matching art. For real you got my brain in a loop with the double controls. I love that you made minigame-style rooms, great move towards replayability ! Well done !

The Curse of Cattenburg by Honest Dan 2020-10-09T22:38:22Z ♥ 2

You guys are legendary. This game is just finished in every aspect of a jam scope, I literally have no negative comments other than I expect you guys to turn this into a full blown RPG ;) The memory-card aspect is brilliant and fits the game loop perfectly ! Well done guys. I know I say this every LD, but this is a winner ;)

Ouroboros by Wendel Scardua 2020-10-09T22:35:31Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus. I had a great time playing it ! For some reason my earlier comment got lost, but extra kudos for making this in an actual NES setup. Very nice concept, the graphics and audio matched up very nicely. Had a blast and looking forward to learning from this ! Well done !

Loop Stuck by Kirby 2020-10-08T23:09:37Z ♥ 1

Heya! I've played your game on my channel [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I like this platformer! Basic, but fair and true. And the classic "reversing to backtrack" is brilliant, it's a hyper efficient way to extend gameplay! Well done. There was very little involvment of the main mechanic however, I didn't have to puzzle a lot with my dead bodies to proceed, but to me that's a consequence of a game jam time constraint :) Well done ! And thank you !

Phil Alone by Gabriel Dias Oliveira de Almeida 2020-10-08T23:05:13Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it ! I am glad that you've decided to put up a warning as this is a very serious topic. It was brave to put that into a game, but I do feel it represents what these situations can bring forth... I like how all the triggers and events clicked together nicely. Well done !

Stuck in a Loop (station) by erikiene 2020-10-08T23:00:14Z ♥ 3

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it. I really loved this escape room simulator. Would work perfectly in VR ! :) I'm not a very audio-savvy person, but with a little bit of help I was able to discover the puzzles and their solutions. I probably would be able to get it but it would take me quite some time. Challenging, but fair. Well done, I enjoyed it ! And offcourse the added touch of a sandbox mode deserves praise !

Guntasy by bigwhiteshogun 2020-10-08T22:54:20Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream twitch.tv/drjavasaurus. I had a great time playing it. Really enjoyed the mini-rogue-like aspects. I am very glad you've told me about the extra weaponry so I could still find it, really cool. Very nice, tight controls ! Well done, a joy to play.

3 Minutes by PeaNud 2020-10-08T22:41:44Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it. I am a big fan of the escape room elements and the small adjustments / randomisations help with replayability. I would love to see more levels out of this as it can become a full fledged game, surely ! Well done ! And the "surprise" at the end, beautiful :)

Loop by Str0nkyK0ng 2020-10-08T22:33:17Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it. Simply...Genius... It'd be unfair to make a comment this short and I really should do justice. This game is extremely simple but still manages to put a smile on my face. I am glad I chose the rebellious path, I would have missed the best content ever otherwise. Well done? A PERFECT score on humor for me !

GravLoop by AvatarGreggles 2020-10-08T22:30:38Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it. Very nice concept and original take on the theme ! The game is challenging but fair. Maybe an additional audio queue would be nice, or have an extra element to draw attention to the pickup orbs. Well done, a solid entry !

Oh My Hamster by LuckyFeathers 2020-10-07T22:43:49Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it. Very original take, the cursor felt really nice and ... god do I even need to write this, the hamsters are friggin cute! Everything fits together nicely and your game is really consistent. It's relaxing, hope to see more of it. Well done and thank you for the fun gameplay !

Cycle Breakdown by TheJohnyFeeD 2020-10-07T22:40:56Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it. Very well made game with tight controls (once I managed to turn my AZERTY into QWERTY, thanks belgium :D). I really enjoyed it, it's a challenging game and every time I got sent back a loop I knew and felt it was my own fault. This is enter the gungeon quality, especially seeing it's all condensed development in 72 hours! Keep it up !

Mobodo by Revetoon 2020-10-07T22:38:49Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it. It's one of the more "deep" entries. I loved the mood and the mystery, every simple scene was like a cool mini puzzle to figure out. The mind drifts to think what could happen next and it all followed in a logical sequence, combining into a proper story. Loved it ! Very well done !

Grabby - The Ultimate Grabbinator by rucksack 2020-10-07T22:34:33Z ♥ 4

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it. This... was... goresome... and I loved it ! It is very challenging, but fair at the same time. I loved the fact I could just pick up stuff and trash it about, splattering people like it was 1997 and I was playing carmeggedon on my PS1. Great entry, worth a play for sure !

Slime Panic by AlariannGames 2020-10-07T22:33:11Z ♥ 3

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it. Unique take on the theme! As I mentionned in stream, this would make an excellent hyper casual game with just a little bit of extra work. Well done, one of the favorites that made my list ! But yes, don't sacrifice school, however, don't ditch a great idea like this ;)

Hyper Loop Runner by jd557 2020-10-07T22:31:32Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it. This brought me back to the old crackling computer running windows95 all those years ago. Beautiful, nostalgia city. I fully appreciate what you've built here, it's challenging and at no point did it feel unfair. Great job and brownie points for making people install Java ;) (Jokes, the game is great it's worth it !)

Boris the Bear Hunter by ForgeronStudio 2020-10-07T22:29:39Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it ! Great to see a funny entry with a great take on a loop theme. The game is way more challenging that you'd give it credit for at first ! Maybe the first couple of bears should be a bit slower since they really hit me like a bullet. Overall, great entry well done !

Colorful Memories by Ayxs 2020-10-07T22:27:38Z ♥ 2

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it ! As I told you on stream the mood is definitely the strong point of your game, it really touched me. The audio and graphics fit together perfectly. It's a complete game and I was interested from the first second till I saw the unexpected (and heartbreaking) end ! One slight thing though, you might want to opt out of humor, it might bring your overall rank down and it would be a shame to expect humor for this beautiful story.

Caterpillar Cowboy by eldogg 2020-10-07T22:22:37Z ♥ 1

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)[www.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus]. I had a great time playing it and I actually took a note to pass it on to my 5 year old. He'll go bonkers for this ! Everything just falls in place with this one, great audio, great artwork, great gameplay... One of my favorites for sure! I did discover a bug where my caterpillar-butt got stuck in a rock, but a quick reset fixed it :) Great job !

Back And Forth by Kisk 2020-10-07T14:39:14Z ♥ 5

Hey there ! Now I'm no authority at all to state this, but this was a bit over the top in my mind...

Great game but I do have to state something that was brought to my attention. You should have put this entry in unranked or at least opt out of several categories. You are being rated and received comments on the fact that the game looks polished (it completely does, I agree on that !), but that is not your achievement. Luckily you gave credit to the creator of the art (https://pixelfrog-store.itch.io/kings-and-pigs). But secondly, this is almost pro verbatim a copy of an existing entry in another recent jam, down to the UI and mechanics (https://vimlark.itch.io/make-the-way). Most of the level design is identical...

I am very happy to see you made a tribute and a proper game, but people should be aware what they are voting for. Someone else made this game and realistically, coming up with a proper idea and mechanics is the hardest part of a jam. The game design has nothing to do with your entry, nor does the art.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, I am usually of the principle that a game jam is about the journey of making a game, but this falls beyond that. By all means make games by copying, it's the exact best way to learn in fact... Just don't enter it in a ranking system where you're being put up against people who spent a full weekend and more doing all they can on the limit to finish a game.

Now that that's out of the way... Happy jamming everyone :)

Jack's Inferno by mharring 2020-10-06T21:10:36Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for making this game, I've played it on my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus)! I really enjoyed the look and feel. It had me thinking I was playing enter the gungeon for a tiny little bit there ! It's fun to have little imps pop up trying to find me and the bosses ? Nice touch ! Well done, great entry :)

Nuclear Loop Labs by Jesús González 2020-10-06T20:35:38Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). This is definitely what I see as a seed for big future project ! Great promise, I'm very curious to how it'll turn out and I'll play the post-jam game for sure. I love the look and feel of the game and the audio-visual feedback to solve puzzles is intriguing. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for making this :)

Loop's Way by Linetaru 2020-10-06T20:18:34Z ♥ 5

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Great entry, loved the gameplay. To me it is on par with Antigrav chamber and even portal ! I really enjoyed it, shame I couldn't finish it on stream but I will definitely continue this off line. Well done !

ONE MORE TRY by RobbzenOne 2020-10-06T20:16:45Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Very nice entry, solid artwork and a gameplay mechanic that is reminds me of jump quests in MapleStory. Nostalgia always hits home !

A Night Around the Fire by arron-fowler 2020-10-06T20:13:04Z ♥ 1

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). This is a great game ! Well done, strong slenderman vibes. It is very challenging though. I love that you went for a voxel style, it works so well ! The AI is equally impressive to me, must have been quite hard to get it right to find automatic hiding spots ! Loved it :)

Little Pirate Adventure by Bauke Regnerus 2020-10-06T20:11:39Z ♥ 1

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really liked the style of this game, very lighthearted. A rarity in these times ! Thank you. I really like the merchanting element ! It was really fun to figure out how to cheese the game and become a filthy rich sailing merchant :D

Memorial by thevinter 2020-10-06T20:09:51Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really appreciated the atmosphere in this game. Sure it had some quirks and bugs, but it's a jam game ! With a substantial amount of content may I add. Well done, I really enjoyed it, thank you for making this !

Stuck In A While Loop by Sven Lowry 2020-10-05T21:51:13Z ♥ 1

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Very creative spin on the theme and actually a beautiful example of how simple graphics can still elaborate a complex puzzle problem. Not even joking, I'll have my kid play this and he'll go bananas ! Well done !

The Sun Wants a Hug! by nimmems 2020-10-05T21:49:23Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). This one has awesome art. The titlescreen alone already does more to me than a motivational poster with one of those kitties on a clothes-wire. Well done to you and your team, I enjoyed it! The difficulty ramps up quite fast, but at no time did I have the feeling the game is not fair. An entry worth playing !

Mike.cpp by shan.hsgames 2020-10-05T21:47:37Z ♥ 1

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Well done ! The yoyo mechanic is such fun, it could've been a game on its own ! I love the fact you hit little puzzles in the notes and the glowing effect was a clear indication of where to look for clues. You had me mind-blown !

WhileLoops by Ausstein 2020-10-05T21:45:37Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really enjoyed this one ! I might actually forward this one to the colleagues at work as some of them are big fans of nested while loops ;) Anyway, the simple artstyle still feels great and totally fits the game you're going for. I had serious Win95 vibes ! It's a great concept where you have to think quickly on your feet. Well done !

Dreamin' Cat by Fockx 2020-10-05T21:43:12Z ♥ 2

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). My first reaction instantly was that this artwork is exceptional. Well picked out color palette ! Top notch. The controls are really nice and tight, the walljumping is satisfying. I will be playing more of this for sure !

Hyperspace Slingshot by AllBetsAreOff 2020-10-05T21:40:02Z ♥ 1

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really enjoyed this game, in my top 10 as it stands :D The art is consistent and there is a great contrast between what you're supposed to pick up and what you're to stay away from. The controls have the exact right amount of "floatyness" to them, making the game feel fair and just. Well done ! The very subtle gravity is the cherry on top !

WoodStone_02 by cottontshirtz 2020-10-05T21:38:01Z ♥ 1

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I really enjoyed the concept, as I mentionned. It's a very nice prototype for a TBS and shows that you don't need exuberant graphics to make something fun. Maybe there could be a bit more "punch" with animations and particles, but this is a Jam ! Well done, I can see this project grow :) It has potential !

Lucky Lefty Loves Loops by TheBookSnail 2020-10-05T19:48:47Z ♥ 2

Dang this game is very nice ! :) I 100% dig the fractal snail element :D Well done !

AetherPath by quichi 2020-04-26T08:41:52Z ♥ 1

Great attempt , well done. From experience I've learned that making this type of game in 48 hours is a Herculean task (I one made a mini RTS in compo), so I fully appreciate what you've made here ! :) Sure there are some bugs, but I'll let those slide easily. The one thing is balancing... a travelling ship takes ages to get somewhere and it seems when I alt tab the game comes to a halt, so I'm stuck watching it happen for 5 minutes or something. That kind of breaks the flow of the game... EITHER WAY, thank you for making this !

Breaking Egg by Mulberg 2020-04-26T08:30:20Z ♥ 1

At first this looked like "just-another-egg-protecting" game. But boy... this has some speedlevel stress coming for free ! Very well done. It sometimes seems a bit punishing though and maybe an even snappier respawn would help. For example, in the second level I tried many things but I got hit anyway when spawning. Apart from that, pretty fun game, nice entry :) Thank you for making this.

Magic Garden by MaggardJosh 2020-04-26T08:00:04Z ♥ 1

Nice entry ! We had fun playing it for sure. The audio and graphics are a very nice match and the controls are snappy, as they should be for a platformer. Great job ! Thank you for making this !

Get off my Planet! by CrumblyBread 2020-04-26T07:56:30Z ♥ 1

This one's pretty fun ! Well done, thanks for making this. In terms of the theme, I am missing the link a little bit I think, but that could just be me...

And as you probably've read in the comments above, there are some "classic" bugs in here (such as the aiming that's to the bottom left of the cursor, the typical mistake there is not to take into consideration the width/height of the cursor). As for UI work... It is very cumbersome, which is why I try to avoid it in 2-3 day jams. They need the proper time and effort to make sense and I fully understand your design decisions ! However, a little bit more "metadata" and information on what to buy would have been nice, since that's in my opinion one of your core mechanics. Great entry and would recommend playing again!

CRAZ by RexTGun 2020-04-25T07:30:14Z ♥ 1

Hello there ! I like the premise of the game ! It has a good snappy feel to it, a bit complex at first without proper tutorial but as you said, you'll be working on that ! :) The controls are easy enough and the blood splatter trail? by GOD that feels satisfying. WELL DONE ! Thank you for making this game :)

Chronocipher by Instafluff 2020-04-23T15:53:22Z ♥ 5

Very interesting concept ! I love the visuals and the voice acting...Per usual one of the games that stand out most AND are integrated in a beautiful community. I hope I'll see you make mugcakes again soon ! :D Cheers !

Bobbleheads want to dance by jk5000 2020-04-23T13:14:32Z ♥ 2

Hello, thank you for making this game. It is a nice and very simple clicker game. Great storytelling, really nice voice acting, but maybe the game would feel more polished if there was a larger variation in bobble heads, because as it stands, they are all identical. Nonetheless, great game, congratulations ! :) Cheers !

Heartventure by Crawl 2020-04-23T12:59:12Z ♥ 2

Hey, thank you for making this game. Maybe a remark, it would be nice if there was an indication for the beat. For example some outline that grows out from the heart that shows you when the alternate the pumping button presses. Very nice ! Liked playing it.

Keep it afloat! by Maka 2020-04-23T12:49:59Z ♥ 3

Hey ! We had a lot of fun playing this, very well done, brings back memories of patapon, CLASSIC ! The graphics are definitely among the best I've seen so far in this LD ! Thank you for making this game :)

Rumble in the Bronchs by ballipilla 2020-04-23T12:37:15Z ♥ 1

Hey, thanks for making this game. It is offcourse a very touchy and actual topic! However there were some serious resolution issues where I could not see the entire screen. In fact at first I was thinking that I could "move" into different rooms because I could not see the edges of the level. Cheers !

Dr. Statnil's Dodo Egg by Voidsay 2020-04-23T12:24:57Z ♥ 0

Hey ! Unfortunately I could not get the game to work ! It went full blast full screen and the dropped egg landed on the net and I couldn't do anything else. If you'd fix this, please tag me so I can try again ! Cheers and thank you for making a game ! :)

Stand Still by Draelent 2020-04-23T12:14:52Z ♥ 1

The difficulty in this game is ramping up very fast. In fact, nearly impossibly fast. Kudos for making it in 7 hours, I wish I could see what you can do in 48 ! :) Thanks for making this :) Cheers !

Bacterium by Alvan Arulandu 2020-04-23T12:03:45Z ♥ 1

Would love to play it, but as stated above, we can't :) Could you please tag me when you've managed to fix it? Cheers !

Flame Bearer by canti 2020-04-23T12:01:32Z ♥ 0

Hey ! I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I could not get this to run in the browser. Please verify this, we really want to play it , especially considering the pretty teaser-graphics !

Flippy Fish by Doot 2020-04-23T11:55:41Z ♥ 2

Great game, we loved playing it ! It is very amusing and the art style is pretty consistent. Well done ! Great mood. The only thing that got to me a little bit is that I do not understand the Japanese titles, so maybe a subtitle would have been nice, I feel some stuff got lost in translation. Thank you for making this lovely game.

Bonded Crusaders by Joshachu 2020-04-23T10:11:40Z ♥ 1

Very nice entry ! I love your typical cute style. Well designed levels and really entertaining to finish ! Well done and thank you for making this ! :)

Candy's Dream Egg by CosmicCrystalGames 2020-04-22T20:38:59Z ♥ 1

I really had a retro feeling playing this earlier today. It all fits together very nicely, well done ! I hope you'll consider making this a full game. Well done ! :) Thank you for making this game

Shadow of the Elm by Plasmonic 2020-04-22T19:18:28Z ♥ 1

Very nice little platformer. It had some typical platforming controller bugs, where you sink in the floor or it just feels "slippery" / "laggy". This could be due to the webbuild, which I completely understand. It would probably have benefited from a little bit more content, as most of the crystals were found within 2-3 screens from one another. Nonetheless, thank you for making this game !

Pump It ! by JulienLussiez 2020-04-22T19:08:15Z ♥ 2

Very nice concept, I liked the simple but stylish graphics, the music/audio was certainly fitting the game. However (I'm not sure if this was fixed in post jam already), but when the timer ran out there was nothing I could do and I had to force close the game. Other than that I really enjoyed it. One more thing, I would have liked it a bit better if the "wrong" option also followed the line and only had the head of the robot explode when it reached the end. Just a visual thing though !

Well done and thank you for the game.

CHARGER! by Symphonia 2020-04-22T18:57:34Z ♥ 0

This is an interesting concept. It is quite simple, but it would have been nice to have some variation on the environment. For example the kitchen area. Maybe some added audio effects and background music, they really can make a difference. Nonetheless, well done and thank you for making this game !

Bunnurse by Brainoid 2020-04-22T18:48:33Z ♥ 1

Per usual, the entries by @brainoid and @honest-dan 's team amazed me. This game is so much fun ! I really like it and it's a really unique take on the theme. Maybe you should investigate the option to make this a full fledged game ! Well done, graphics are amazing, audio is on point, thank you for making this !

SMT V final Boss leak by sadsmile 2020-04-22T18:31:28Z ♥ 2

Can you actually defeat the boss? Has anyone managed to kill their tank ? Just asking for a friend ! Thank you for making this :)

Outta Juize by Kiln 2020-04-22T18:17:27Z ♥ 1

We really liked this game. It is very fast paced however and the movement takes some getting used to! Personally I would prefer if the thruster could be controlled by the right mouse button for example. Other than that it has a really arcade-like feel to it and the added strategic effect of having to recharger your battery decoupled from the ship is a very nice feature. Well done and thank you for making this !

Bioternity by Maskrosen 2020-04-22T18:09:18Z ♥ 3

An ecosystem simulation game is quite challenging to get just right. This is a very fair attempt to do so, but it might need a little extra work (for example a tutorial, other ecosystems etc). I loved the background music, but there are some game design issues that were "annoying" . For example, there is no way to cleanly exit the game and it is forced full screen. Also some buttons have unclear reprocussions, the "rain" button has no "off" switch, which could be confusing. Overall very interesting ! AND beautiful !

The Dragonsitter by JoeShanahan 2020-04-22T17:59:04Z ♥ 4

Nice game, we liked the looks of it. Maybe the dragon would be better off being purple, so it stands out more from the environment. Other than that, the WEBGL build seems to lag a bit, so you might want to consider uploading the standalone version! Also, I don't know why this happened, but our spacebar was not working to feed apples to the dragon. Still, I liked the audio and atmosphere, Great Job !

Guardian of the Seas by UberPuPy 2020-04-22T17:52:50Z ♥ 1

This is a fun clicker game, thank you for making it. One slight remark though, maybe it would be a bit easier to not have to mix up keyboard and mouse. When you are clicking on screen anyway to move your boat, it might as well be using the mouse to open up menu's by clicking on the docks for example ! Well done !

Sprouting Tale (LD46) by Tony_Artz 2020-04-22T17:40:56Z ♥ 1

Thank you for making a nice game ! We enjoyed it , also I really don't like snails so this was fun to do. Great innovation by coming up with a nice mechanic to make a platformer way more challenging. Well done !

Test-a-ball by JAsonsumm1 2020-04-22T17:33:27Z ♥ 1

We were just playing your game, it's a bit unclear as to what the intention is, maybe you could have the platforms rotate seperatly so it becomes more likely to be able to get higher up. Also audio would help out ! WE LOVE THE BLOBBY GRAPHICS THOUGH !!!!

Eternal Flame by Galgris 2020-04-22T16:41:42Z ♥ 0

I honestly expected a lot more "Olympic flame" type of games, but this is the first one I see around. Glad I was able to play it, feels a little bit clunky but I have that feeling with most pico-8 games. The camera movement is a bit janky but it didn't bother me too much personally. Well done ! Thank you for making this

My Pet's Dungeon by N.O. Games 2020-04-22T16:30:03Z ♥ 1

This reminds me of Digimon World, another nostalgia-buster in my collection. Very well done, to me it feels a bit like a combat tamagotchi ! :) Kudos, thank you for making this

Lich Clicker by Fictions 2020-04-22T16:26:39Z ♥ 2

I have a few issues with the webGL build but it seems the standalone version didn't have that. A great storytelling combined with captivating audio. Well done, a complex take on a simple principle !

JarHeads by Aurel300 2020-04-22T13:59:33Z ♥ 1

This game is really nicely made and snappy! Very addictive and the scoreboard surely is a nice competitive touch ! I personally got 7th at some point but I'll bookmark this one for sure. One minor issue I had was with the audio, I had to toggle "music" on and off for the soundtrack to play. Glad I figured this out because it is amazing. Well done and thank you for developing this !

Looking for Group by pandepic 2020-04-22T13:35:30Z ♥ 2

Very nice game ! This game reminds me of some of those old flash based online games we had back in the mid 2000's. Very enjoyable, nice artwork and very fitting audio. One UI related comment I have is that it's very hard on the brain to read numbers everywhere. Maybe a visual indicator (for example a healthbar) could be better? Either way, thank you for making this !

Keep Me Breathing by AstroLabe 2020-04-22T13:29:12Z ♥ 2

I like the concept ! Very crisp graphics. Gameplay wise it seems a bit strict at some points (for example when adjusting the sliders), but then again that creates the "panicky" feel ! Awesome ^-^ Well done, thank you

Unnamed Balloon Game: Video Game Edition by 1PunnyGuy44 2020-04-22T11:39:15Z ♥ 1

Cool game ! Now I have to go find balloons because my kid saw this and wants to play it "in real life". Great job. Voice acting is brave, it's a weird mix between the concept and the scary voice, but it seems to work just fine. Well done, thanks for making this ! :) Welcome to the LD Family !

The Last Primpy by gamesplusjames 2020-04-22T11:37:22Z ♥ 0

Great game! I really liked the game but the difficulty ramps up pretty slowly. The aesthetics and ambiance more than make up for that though. This feels like a classic ^-^ Very nicely done. However... my favorite part? The audio... it is SPOT on my friend ! Well done! ... Where can I order a Primpy for Christmas?

Welcome to Pre-Sushi by Bill Wheatley 2020-04-22T08:25:41Z ♥ 0

WebGL builds in Unity are always a messy steaming pile of trouble. It's among the reasons as to why I didn't put one up for my game (it turned all lighting red for god knows what reason). Either way, I watched you work on the job system and it is very interesting indeed ! Useful to learn. I wonder how far you could push this using a compute shader for the fishes, similar to what Sebastian Lague did in his "boids" video. Well done :)

Leaning plates by thewrath 2020-04-22T08:16:44Z ♥ 1

Very nice and simple! Clean execution ^^ As said above, the details are a nice touch.

Giant Blobs From Mars by Almighty Games 2020-04-22T08:15:04Z ♥ 1

I like this game a lot. The audio is really nice and the visuals are very appealing, they might fit a mobile game actually. The ramping of difficulty is mentioned in the comments often and I tend to agree, however I think you can easily solve this by turning the first couple of levels into tutorial material. OBVIOUSLY this is a jam game, so nobody should judge based on that. One thing that might be really cool, but not in the scope of a jam as well, make the blob into one supermesh...A giant blob to rule them... make it really grow ! Great stuff :)

Game of Beans by lt-farfetchd 2020-04-22T08:10:37Z ♥ 2

This game is hilarious :) Keep the Sean Bean meme alive ! I have to agree, it wasn't really clear to me that I could Sean-slap the fire to put it out. ONE thing I would suggest, don't just despawn the arrows, leave them in Sean's body for a bit, it'd look hilarious :) Well done !

Koita and the Elder Relics by Toasted Oregano 2020-04-22T08:04:08Z ♥ 2

I love the style, however the color palettes are not the easiest on the eye (especially the green and yellow one, as shown in a screenshot I believe on the game page). I would also suggest you spice up this page a bit, it should be a billboard but the only thing I see is a mixture of credits and a dev log.

Now that aside ! The chiptune is amazing and the storytelling gave me a giggle or two! Well done :)

Flight of the Cepheus by thedashdude 2020-04-22T07:55:40Z ♥ 1

This takes me back to that little old gray computer... with a huge fish-tank of a monitor on top running win 95. Trying to find something fun to do on these old school "CD's " with games and demo's. Just like back then I enjoy these strategy games ! The intricacies are worth while, but it might be just me... In other words, I can't say if this game is just my niche, but that won't matter for the ratings I'll give you ;) Thanks for making this !

Robo Riot by RNGames 2020-04-22T07:51:53Z ♥ 1

I like how you turned this simple concept into a full fledged addiction! Sure it has some quirks and glitches, but for a game jam game this is far beyond acceptable! I'd love to see this turn into a mobile game !

Cupid's Arrow Inc. Difficult Cases Division by SolitudeDude 2020-04-22T07:47:43Z ♥ 1

I like the concept and it is well executed, especially in the context of a jamp. I would love to have seen a little bit more card variation, spice it up. I enjoyed it ! Well done .

Bustion Defender by AxGord 2020-04-22T07:43:57Z ♥ 1

I am a sucker for old school NES games. This game brings that notion in my head, it's tiny things like the explosion effects, the immobile tank... Well done ! I do agree a tutorial might be a nice idea, maybe you can write a nice one using Markdown, the game's LD page is quite empty ^-^

Eggcelerate by TimBeaudet 2020-04-21T10:37:15Z ♥ 1

Great take on the theme, I loved the audio and the laughs. This game is great fun, I hope you would consider making it a full game. Imagine this as a multiplayer... Instant hit :D

VURM by AndrewJAdams 2020-04-20T22:45:02Z ♥ 2

I liked this :) Simplistic , almost Vector-graphics era like. Interesting concept !

Theft of the Inferno Heart by MarkoPoloDev 2020-04-20T22:30:46Z ♥ 0

Nice one ! I tend to dislike escort mission but this game feels very satisfying :)

DungeonScape by Lawrence 2020-04-20T20:17:22Z ♥ 1

This game reminds me of the win95 classics ! Very well done, heaps of fun. The death sound of your fellow dungeoneers is really giving me flashbacks like the food critic in the Ratatouille movie !

Silly Fluffy Bunny by Jiri Hysek 2020-04-20T20:09:43Z ♥ 1

Very nice game ! And impressive line mechanics, I really liked that. For me the game was just long enough to not go passed the point of "this is turning boring". Well done !

Battery Panic by HacksawUnit 2020-04-20T19:41:54Z ♥ 2

If you had made this 6 years ago I'd play this 2 hours a day on the train while commuting to work ! This... is ... GOOD ! Would you consider a mobile version? The premise seems a bit complex at first, but ones you get the intention, it's a little nugget of gold :)

Kat's Flowery Fever Dream by topbraj 2019-04-30T13:22:10Z ♥ 1

Great game ! Relaxing , simple game. I see myself playing this on the bus ! Thank you for the game

The suicidal adventure of Squish by Lucas Kosmalski 2018-12-10T10:40:58Z ♥ 0

Very well done, responsive and crisp. A larger variety of obstacles would have been nice, but considering the jam-context this is an amazing entry in its own right ! :) Thank you for the game.

Vincent's Sacrifice by Honest Dan 2018-12-04T20:57:42Z ♥ 3

As a binding of Isaac fan this game brings back memories from the earliest flash versions. Yeah, for sure the game isn't as easy as the first levels of Mario, but I had little effort getting the hang of it, especially when you get the option to revive. Very well done Mate !

@vincent-blot the bullets are fine, the most annoying thing I found were the green blobs. It took a while to get their pattern in my head, but once you get the hang of dashing, the game actually became pretty easy 🆔

I swear it was worth it ! by Aelerinya 2018-12-04T01:17:49Z ♥ 0

Great job on the submission, I hope you had fun! But next time you can just opt out the theme if you feel it is too far off :)

Aztec Blood by ElFunck 2018-12-04T01:15:12Z ♥ 3

Great game!!!!! My kid loves it!!!! Thank you for the fun times I'm

Beyond Closed Doors by TimBeaudet 2018-08-17T11:16:40Z ♥ 1

I enjoyed the game, simple but effective. I see how the theme comes in play and I haven't seen many similar games despite the obvious mechanics. Controls are responsive, the game just feels good. Well done !

Save Me A Seat by chaitae 2018-08-15T14:17:26Z ♥ 1

This is a really solid entry ! Amazing. I love the typing mechanics and you managed to find something super original that fits the theme. Simple yet snappy, I was laughing so hard. Also, the south park walking style is the cherry on the pie ! :D

Honest Dan's Clutteral Damage by Honest Dan 2018-08-15T12:31:16Z ♥ 1

Despite the "pending" features, I'd say this is still a fun little quirky game ! Seems like another Honest Dan's classic. I love your style of pixel art and the music is exceptional (it's sticking in my head). Sure some animations would be nice, but that's putting the cherry on the cake! Well done buddy. I'll be sure to play this again if/when you finish this one.

Nice game ! Actually was pretty challenging, took me a while to get into it but it is awesome. Well done !

Save the sheep by Zlabya 2018-08-15T09:26:09Z ♥ 3

Cool little game ! Would have been more challenging if there were randomized directions etc. But very well done, I enjoyed it ! Thank you for the entry. I love the detail with dead trees behind the roller. The only obvious thing I would change in terms of graphics is to make the bulldozer bigger, having it come closer as well, it would seem more menacing ! But well done !

Grid Locked by DrunkardWolf 2018-08-15T09:16:58Z ♥ 0

Hey ! Great simple game, perfect use of the theme. Very well done but I have 3 small remarks / suggestions.

1. I would not use flat sprites for the enemies. The shadows they generate are pretty confusing and distracting... 2. I would make sure the player can not fall down along with a platform after being hit, especially if you would want to make the platforms a health indicator. You could for example do a simple downward raycast from the player and exclude that platform from your randomisation code to make it fall ! 3. A leaderboard could be a nice add-on here !

All in all, great idea using very basic concepts (I even think this would make a great tutorial game for Unity)

Personal Space by ursagames 2018-08-15T08:52:47Z ♥ 2

I like this game ! Enjoyable and seemingly VR ready ;) As a person suffering from anxiety attacks I can attest that the nervosity is spot on ! I love the footsteps, really nice touch to make the game a bit lighter. Only thing I would suggest is adding some audio tracks and party lights (I know, this is a jam ... so no worries !)

Thanks for the entry !

Beat These Games! by gamesplusjames 2018-08-15T08:39:38Z ♥ 1

James what the hell... No way you pulled this one off on your own, I am sure you had that "new dad" energy ;) VERY well done, absolutely love it. It just all fits together ! If this one isn't a top contender, then I don't know either ;) Thank you for the jem !

Hyper Space Man by indegame 2018-08-15T08:31:11Z ♥ 2

Nice entry, it makes me glad seeing a retro-style game, I love those. I love the irony , running out of "SPACE". The audio fits the theme, a nice casual game to play for sure. Well done !

WearOut by Abhis1Kadian 2018-08-15T08:26:28Z ♥ 0

Great entry, thank you for that ! I am glad I came to read the comments first and I knew about the mouse buttons though. Interesting game and very solid for a first jam !

Encroaching by Ava Skoog 2018-08-15T07:47:36Z ♥ 1

I really like the concept of this game, well done ! The ambient sounds really create an atmosphere of anticipation, as would be the case in a forest with hunters. The controls at times are a bit heavy, but nothing game breaking. I would add a line renderer or an effect to show the player where he just came from, or give an indication where hunters are. All in all , well done !

Are You Smarter Than An Alien? by smallboss 2018-05-16T12:52:28Z ♥ 0

First off, congratulations with your entry. I didn't have the pleasure to spot your game on the featured list during my voting sessions (probably due to the "vote-reward" mechanics), so I had not played it till last night. It's unbelievable you managed to do this in the little time we had available ! I myself dared to go for a compo submission, and I have to say I was rather unprepared. After reading the rules and worrying about them, I figured it would be incredibly hard, but definitely possible should I give up my health and my wellbeing... So I did it. In the end I got put on the place I expected to land for a first timer.

However I cannot deny the voting system has left a serious bitter taste. In the end, I am seriously doubting if it was worth sacrificing the entire weekend... I hope I'm not breaking an illusion here, the game jam is not about winning or losing, but fairness and respect is definitely not reflected as it should be. As I was to deduct from the results, this voting quotum is not representative to anything at all. It would only work in the case where the law of big numbers applies where "friendly" scores (by lack of better terms as "pitty scores" sounds a bit harsh) are balanced to the average or median, which here clearly is not the case, making all the rankings utterly meaningless. I can only make the suggestion to upgrade the voting system from its current state to include a peer reviewed rating with a predefined panel of non-participating "experts". Their votes could be weighted in with the "public/popular" votes. Referees could for example be found on Twitch, as several developers have already picked up playing ludum dare entries live on stream. Giving out an official state of LD Referee would not only reward their initiatives, it would avoid particular situations where conflict arises due to a non-discriminating form of voting. Furthermore, there already is a mention for streamers on the LD page, so I assume it is not a big overhead to implement this. Offcourse this would imply more work, but I am confident that it is possible and will only benefit the quality of our developer lives.

So in the end and hopefully contributing with some value to the discussion... Congratulations to you AND to everyone else that has submitted an entry! We have all finished a game and we all sacrificied something, be it in different proportions. But keep in the back of your minds, the rankings are statistically meaningless and even worse, they are plain wrong.

Until next edition (should the rating system be updated) !

Recipe for Disaster by dragonslumber 2018-04-26T19:35:37Z ♥ 1

This is a really fun entry, thank you for the submission. I had a blast trying to get the tomato sauce in place while doing an unprecedented 720 backflip sidescrew fly trick :D Also, one of the best fitting songs you could possibly have used ;)

Match Shooter by Gipzo 2018-04-25T19:42:38Z ♥ 0

Really nice combination, feels natural playing it. Very well done !

A Skeleton Story - Ludum Dare 41 by Zukureneno 2018-04-25T14:17:24Z ♥ 1

Really nice game entry. It arguably is a bit short, but people shouldn't forget this is a jam entry ! I say you did very well and I hope to see more of your work in the future ! Well done ! :)

Voodoom by _cbgp 2018-04-25T14:01:33Z ♥ 0

Really nice concept, especially for being a jam entry ! People often forget how much time it takes to make a game feel "right" and I believe you're pretty close :) Well done !

Sneaky Beats by gamesplusjames 2018-04-25T13:20:25Z ♥ 1

I would just summarize all of this in "GREAT JOB !". I hope to hear more from guitar-hero James in future streams ;) But really enjoyable level design, hard but not impossible, the way we all like it ! :)

Dancemazing by MariosManiatis 2018-04-25T12:35:37Z ♥ 1

This...is...brilliant... AND catchy :D Maybe some extra feedback on the dancing part could make it more obvious, but this is after all a jam game ! Thank you :)

Nice game, really enjoyed it :) The worm is oficially my worst enemy now >-<

A Carpenter's Tale by DeadlyMidnight 2018-04-25T07:44:42Z ♥ 2

Awesome game, incredible graphics for a jam game. Highly entertained, thank you for the submission ! :)

Escape by Gamekrazzy 2018-04-25T07:25:51Z ♥ 1

Great job on the graphics and the audio, nostalgia city right there ! I really like the first few rooms as you nicely "force" the player to use and learn the mechanics (for example looking up to see the passcode). Had a lot of fun, keeping this on my list!

Escape_ by Steel_Dev 2018-04-24T23:37:04Z ♥ 1

Oh my... James' gone done it again ! Great Jobs all around, you really should do an epic rif as your Twitch follow alert from now on. Aside from that, the game is really fun and enjoyable, one of the better jam games I have come across today :) Thank you ! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/bumper-buddies

As per usual you amaze me sir ... This is awesome XD Bit heavy at times but overall I loved it !

Type Fighter: Turbo by megamasterx 2018-04-23T22:16:18Z ♥ 1

Amazing style and interesting game ! I can easily see this becoming a networked game (the same vein as TypeRacer), good stuff ! :)

Crux Swarm by MarkoPoloDev 2018-04-23T21:57:31Z ♥ 1

Really fun game, interesting concept and amazing art ! Really enjoying the visuals :) Keeping this one on my list, thank you

RUN JUMP TYPE by ppNovAqq 2018-04-23T20:30:33Z ♥ 0

Really nice game, well done. I like how responsive it is ! Perhaps a more difficult game mode would be one where pressing enter erases the command box ;). Great stuff !

Dyeswap by morphine 2018-04-23T17:39:08Z ♥ 1

Really nice game ! I love it, has very portal-esque vibes. Well done ! :)

Captain Bauldy's Fun House by moltanem2000 2018-04-23T15:46:42Z ♥ 0

Really nice game, the combination of a silent hill - esque athmosphere with the sudden children's puzzle is hilarious. I kept expecting a jump scare till the end ! Well done. The movement could be made a bit faster as trying to find the next solution was a bit tedious. Also, the camera was able to clip through some walls (which is offcourse fine for a jam game !). Well done, well made ! :)

Nubes Pila by IDidGame 2018-04-23T15:27:53Z ♥ 1

I like this game, it feels like the genres should be mixed together as it makes perfect sense. I love the controls, they are not too sluggish and are spot on for this type of game. I know this is just a jam game but after fixing up the bugs (see @frostdragonliz ' comment) you could easily fit an entire RP story around this battle system !

Bunny Derps by mintarcade 2018-04-23T15:23:58Z ♥ 1

Nice game, incredible content for a 48 hour game. Maybe add a nice tutorial to your game page?

Nice concept, I see this being able to be combined with a typeracer style game. Well done ! :)

Devil's Doll by metamorphling 2018-04-23T15:00:27Z ♥ 1

Really hard game, perhaps a bit too unforgiven after the first stage. It honestly felt impossible pretty fast ! NONETHELESS awesome concept. The audio really is settinh the athmosphere and I love your atari graphics.

A Daily Struggle by Dakota Jones 2018-04-23T13:35:44Z ♥ 1

Very nice game. Thank you for giving people a glampse of how a depression can crawl up and control your every move, making it nearly impossible to function. But rest assured, it is something that can be beaten, speaking from experience.

Roguespector by Yanek 2018-04-23T13:33:39Z ♥ 1

Really nice puzzle concept, entertaining and challenging. Thank you for the game :)

Plenty of Fish by PaterJosch 2018-04-23T13:31:23Z ♥ 0

I liked this game :) Funny, simple and fitting for the theme and honestly the first (and probably only) dating sim entry I found enjoyable, well done !

Beat Quest by XCVZXC 2018-04-23T13:28:19Z ♥ 1

Really nice audio work, there is a slight "hiccup" after each note, but really enjoyable. Nice job and definitely a novel way to manage combat in an RPG ! :)

SAVE THE TURK by N3K 2018-04-23T13:18:41Z ♥ 0

Great stuff :) Simple but efficient and totally makes the two chosen genres work together !

Neon Space by SMILEY_4_ 2018-04-23T12:50:44Z ♥ 1

Really cool game ! Well done, brownie points for sticking with LibGDX and java ! :) Background music could further improve the hype.

Putt-Kill by JezPez 2018-04-23T11:44:44Z ♥ 1

Great concept ! I agree that adding sound would add more depth.

The Cavern of Bad Ideas by Jani Nykanen 2018-04-23T10:31:55Z ♥ 0

Completed ! Incredibly comprehensive for a 48 hour game ! Well done :)

Papa Mazai by WalkDiGidong 2018-04-23T10:29:21Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept, allthough there is a lot of reading going on (multiple times) before understanding what the goal of the game is, good job though ! :)
