LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Ball Boy's Cool Party by BrothersT 2022-04-06T14:43:53Z

Fun game, Like the take on the theme.

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-05T22:54:50Z

Really liked the game, really polished I think there needs to be a penalty for just holding the break the whole time

The Last Patrol by WilloXs 2022-04-05T15:45:22Z

Liked how you change to one of the other ships when you die. Feel like it needs some background music. All in all it was a good game

The Last Days of RIPLEY 9000 by Human Writes Code 2022-04-06T15:11:38Z

Like with a lot of people the robot did move a bit slow. I feel like adding some form of upgrade system, like increased carry capacity, speed and energy reserves could be something to look at

The Great Flood by cassowary 2022-04-04T19:22:20Z

Fun really liked the sound design

Aster Defense by emrod 2022-04-05T15:21:54Z

Fun game wish there was a way to resupply my turrets, I think there needs to be a difficulty increase every so often

Light-Fingered by QuadApe 2022-04-07T14:28:57Z

Enjoyed your game, controller was very tight and it looks great, overall very well done

Pellet by Austin Sierra 2022-04-04T21:48:49Z

Fun twist on a classic game, a bit laggy as people have mentioned and the camera movement was a bit jarring at times

InevitaBallistics by JHax 2022-04-05T14:28:06Z

Love the classic arcade feel and the music I did run into some issues trying to navigate around corners on the harder levels.

Delay The Inevitable by eboatwright 2022-04-04T20:30:02Z

Fun little game

Running Out of Time by Arthur Mairs 2022-04-06T15:52:29Z

Its an impressive amount of work in such a short time, one thing don't know if it was deliberate or not but the puzzles didn't reset when you died, so you could run grab the key die (that animation never got old) and then walk to the door

A Simple Game of Clock Themed Pinball by LazyAlarm 2022-04-05T14:47:51Z

Really good for only a day, it felt like some of the collision boxes were slightly off and the table is a little sparse but overall it was fun

CigBan by Bassilij 2022-04-06T17:41:11Z

I shot him it wasn't an accident, second play through denied him a cake for his 80th, he was in excellent health through. Gameplay gets a bit repetitive

Delay the Zombies by Jesse Martin 2022-04-04T20:32:49Z

@austin-sierra The guns are in a couple of spawn locations in the level, It probably should have done is put the pistol as a spawn right in front of the player at the beginning to better communicate that

@nima Thank you.

Ancient Shooter by attentionadmin 2022-04-05T14:37:04Z

Liked the way you integrated the credits and the sound, couldn't ever find the exit though the text for the time was split up as well it would read 3:21 (newline) !

U.A.D.S - Untitled Asteroid Defence Simulator by Jacek_s0905 2022-04-04T21:41:05Z

I was getting the same error as @muriel, another thing when not in full screen the game window was larger then my screen

The Survivor Island by AmDDRed 2022-04-04T22:13:55Z

Fun game

Fresh From The Oven by KobaHawk 2022-04-06T15:24:13Z

Very fun game, controls felt a little wonky, I initially expected the forward key to be the forward direction for granny (when she was facing down I expected to go down when I pressed (W)) but after that the controls were fine one thing I noticed through is at times hands would fall on top of each other or even on granny.

Why Did I Wait by IndiePixel 2022-04-04T14:42:15Z

Really like your game especially the artwork. I did find the font was a little hard to read for things like (i) and (!) but other then those

Beebs Bump by Beebster Games 2022-04-06T14:54:25Z

Feel like the point structure could use some work it just seemed easier and quicker just to click every block then to try use the higher scoring ones maybe add subtract time from the next level by clearing the current one more efficiently

Dino Escape by Nima 2022-04-04T22:23:29Z

Its a shame I couldn't save all the dinosaurs, might be helpful if selecting the upgrades was in a pause state.

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Critter Club by someone 2024-10-10T01:53:20Z

The last guy is hard, Fun pokemon spin

Dungeon Crawlers by Skyeward 2024-10-23T01:15:44Z

Good graphics and art style, the game was a little tough though, never could last long enough to win against the first boss

Skrungle Rescue by dooskington 2024-10-08T00:11:09Z

Music is a great improvement going from the submission page to itch, overall fun game, never could find the last cage

Crittey (VR Only) by shadowbrain 2024-10-22T00:51:45Z

Really nice graphics, liked the art work and couldn't actually get the creatures to do anything, could be my setup being an OG vive

Creature researcher by notime4games 2024-10-24T22:20:34Z

Really liked it. Is one of those games that requires you to try new ideas, no real hand holding which can be a good thing, adding a control hint in the game some sound effects would be nice

Camp by csLupius 2024-10-24T22:07:40Z

Little steep learning curve, once I got the handle of how to move and collect resource was fun, felt a little cheated at the end had plenty of resources but no jobs, I think thought the game has potential, defiantly music was needed, opengameart.org is your friend here

Mighty Mice by Chartle 2024-10-08T00:55:22Z

Fun, think the cat takes too long to kill, but fun music would help too

Creative Types by Rose 2024-10-23T16:17:10Z

Really enjoyed your game, the art was good, loved the movement mechanic though I guess I'm not as good a typiest as I thought

Tiny Creatures Master by tenshi42 2024-10-23T00:43:42Z

I never could get past the first level, but I really liked the art the music was good if a little repetitive, and I think the concept is really expandable

Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-09T23:25:58Z

Some flees were sacrificed for the completion of the level

My Tiny Cubic Creature by Rolly 2024-10-08T02:01:58Z

Digital don't let the balloon touch the floor

Pigeon Pummel by Griperis 2024-10-12T16:52:11Z

Really fun, think if you could add some ai players like one of those .io games would add some competition

Whisker Warrior by Taximan981 2024-10-08T16:00:25Z

Need some battle music other then that really fun

Gum, Dust, and Danger by ComicSans 2024-10-08T14:33:00Z

Fun game never figured out how to rescue the bunny behind the gum

Gum, Dust, and Danger by ComicSans 2024-10-08T14:33:05Z

Fun game never figured out how to rescue the bunny behind the gum

There's no place for us by Dinorex 2024-10-09T22:53:02Z

Fun took a little bit to understand but was able to successfully complete it on the first try

Creature Cowboy by Ryano 2024-10-08T01:20:26Z

Fun, music / sounds would go a long way

Tiny Hawk Pro-Skater by Teto 2024-10-18T01:56:12Z

Fun one of the levels i found it easier to just blow all the tnt to finish maybe there should be some achievements for completing the level with out hitting anything, also really liked the collectable tapes

Space Station Pet Rescue Force by PerfectSquare 2024-10-12T17:00:19Z

Fun puzzle game, nice use of the different characters types working together, liked how you even gave the cat and dog a way to the exit even though they technically didn't need it (level 4 i think)

Critter Wrangler by LelulaGames 2024-10-09T03:03:02Z

Nice work, some of the creatures really blend into the background, wasn't till i realized that creature sprites always faced you could I find the last one

Frecko by cyphix 2024-10-09T23:00:02Z

Fun, needs some more sound effects

Pawned Potential by ilya096 2024-10-09T23:18:56Z

Fun, like the having to swap ability's to traverse the level

Tinysaurs by v1ris 2024-10-08T15:45:36Z

Fun mix an match

Tiny Creatures by kernon 2024-10-08T00:29:42Z

Pretty Good, needed a reset key just for QOL

Insect Racing League by mhorth 2024-10-12T16:43:38Z

Nice, think the other insects need balancing, there seems to be a clear best, but really fun and well done

Timukin Explorers by Thoastbot 2024-10-23T17:44:05Z

Nice art work could use some better in game explanation took a little while to actually get the grasp of what I was going but other then that good work

Tiny Galaxies by Gabriel Chan 2024-10-08T15:33:57Z

Fun punishing if you miss the grab

MoldCaesar by Zeit 2024-10-08T01:02:08Z

Very unique, great way to mix up mix up mechanics

Noah's Rabbit Chase by Jesse Martin 2024-10-08T15:46:34Z

@bumble @hardytryer your might need to trap him using all the brothers in a smaller corner, no back door, cant give him an inch

Noah's Rabbit Chase by Jesse Martin 2024-10-09T18:48:00Z

@rolly thank you for the feedback The mood is kind of a mix it's suppose to be fun but it's not like there is a lot of light on the ark

It's also a balance between figuring out how much to tell the player vs giving them the satisfaction of figuring it out

Maybe the text at the beginning could use some rewording

Noah's Rabbit Chase by Jesse Martin 2024-10-10T22:01:41Z

@daria-toni no, no matrix reference, just bad at art was going to do a mouse but realized it was going to look closer to a rabbit and the name was easier to change

Noah's Rabbit Chase by Jesse Martin 2024-10-11T20:23:13Z

@aweskybear when I first tried it I didn't know to give him an acceleration, and he couldn't stop so he get going try to turn to go up a ramp and just keep flying

Noah's Rabbit Chase by Jesse Martin 2024-10-14T21:02:13Z

@patomkin what in you think made the controls fell janky?

Noah's Rabbit Chase by Jesse Martin 2024-10-20T19:09:33Z

@dianavi thank you for the feedback, will definitely take your advice

Need For Snail:midnight by AegisFate 2024-10-09T22:34:05Z

Great art, great use of theme

sobeloɯ by Coderah 2024-10-10T02:21:39Z

Really nice atmosphere, liked the music, could do a lot with the puzzle mechanics

Rescue Meow-sion by Ninai 2024-10-24T21:54:27Z

Really liked the game, the later levels got a little crazy with all the towers and monsters, I feel like there needed to be more objectives during the early to mid game

Farmer Friendly Ladybug by Tharinda Kodikara 2024-10-08T01:57:03Z

Think the spider needs to move a bit more randomly but the enlarged hit box is a good way to tell the player to not be hasty

Leafling builders by Kotolazer 2024-10-08T00:40:47Z

Unique art style, relaxing music, nice simple concept

Rescue The Tiny Creatures by cosmic_dust 2024-10-08T15:20:39Z

Good game, really liked the lighting

GLOW by Fenix131113 2024-10-08T14:49:22Z

Good art some mechanics could be explained better, staying near the light to recharge

Tiny Colony by DavidCode 2024-10-10T00:52:44Z

Needs some power ups and maybe a wave mechanic, never really felt threatened as a player

Gobbo Freakout by Seth L 2024-10-10T00:48:54Z

Fun reminds me of some stick battle games I use to play

La Révolution Francheese: Bonamouse by MrBananaz 2024-10-08T14:27:48Z

Fun, Kinda hard to get the hang of

La Révolution Francheese: Bonamouse by MrBananaz 2024-10-08T14:27:52Z

Fun, Kinda hard to get the hang of

Supply and Command by sorro 2024-10-08T01:52:28Z

RTS in a weekend

Spoiled Harvest: Defend your plants from tiny critters by FrontiersEnd 2024-10-08T14:54:27Z

What's not to like in tower defense

Boss Blast by Victor Liu 2024-10-08T01:46:22Z

Fun, A little buggy but button mashing fun

Ready, Set, Escargot! by andymetoo 2024-10-09T23:36:03Z

Felt like the duke boys were at it again. Fun race game

DRONE BRIGADE by Gaalsien 2024-10-08T00:23:27Z

Space theme, I couldn't figure out how to do one with the theme

Little Chef by DERRIXX 2024-10-08T14:42:14Z

Fun game couldn't get the knife to work everytime

Completly Normal Supermarket by Rockys Kidney 2024-10-08T01:40:44Z

Fun, Like how the jumping always felt in time to the music, though I might not want candy thats been in a rats mouth

Evergrove by Chariot 2024-10-08T15:14:05Z

Fun more progress on this in three days then I would ever make

LD59 — Signal

Gridlock by MaggardJosh 2026-04-24T15:06:33Z

Really fun, liked the take on the theme, it goes from being a simple on this is easy just direct the cars, hope I don't cause any accidents, to oh no cars are exploding

I think one easy improvement to the game would be to have an alert on the signals when someone arrives I felt like I spent a lot of time looking all over the screen to find where the cars were so a visual, and maybe a sound queue would have been nice

Twisted Pair by pfeyffer 2026-04-24T14:58:31Z

Fun game highest I got was a 5600, took me a minute to figure out scoring was based on max distance, one note the right click rotate was bringing up the context menu

Alpine by RenD 2026-04-22T18:06:03Z

Fun game, never could get those last three feathers is there like a hidden wall somewhere

Cross Roadent by PoshDan 2026-04-22T18:19:27Z

Really fun, did take me a moment to realize that I could hold down the stop sign

Horizon Rescue Agency by Maxime Cyr 2026-04-22T18:13:03Z

Fun game, may have gotten lost in the woods a few times... liked the use of particle effects for the snow, liked the switch up with the dog in level 3

SIGNALITE by Gat 2026-04-24T15:50:17Z

Really liked the music, thought the art fit the theme and style of game very well. One issue I did have was at first I thought I needed to have constant uptime

FINDER-1 by richjbaron 2026-04-22T22:39:12Z

So first loved the vector graphics look.

I was able to beat the game without hints, but I felt like I was really just guessing the whole time.

Felt the music and overall sound design really complemented the game

Seagnal by Pikario 2026-04-22T17:41:01Z

Love the sound design, the visuals were good, guess we know what happened to the missing teenagers on the radio, should have known it was dangerous to go outside

Seeking The Signal by Jesse Martin 2026-04-23T14:24:37Z

@toppervideogames There should have been some tool tips in the top right corner when you hover over an intractable object

@psevdonim It was differently inspired by the old point and click adventure games

Seeking The Signal by Jesse Martin 2026-04-25T13:28:38Z

@anszwa yes the blue orb was suppose to be less place holder but I ran out of time

@constance yes the dialog probably could have been better for hinting there was a gate that disappeared but on the final build it wasn't that obvious

Seeking The Signal by Jesse Martin 2026-05-10T20:56:33Z

@vicebrother what do you mean by that?

The game was inspired by Beyond Belief by Petra and Desert Rose by Whiteheart

Mycelium Menace by Logan_Core 2026-04-24T22:36:02Z

Me and my mighty mushroom army cleansed the land of the evil spider bug things and restored peace

It was fun, thought the art gave a nice fun feeling and music really complemented that

Defying Fate by Psevdonim 2026-04-22T20:07:32Z

This shows promise it is kind of like Merchant

I think a progression system (something to spend the money I am earning on) and stats on the knights would help (like some are better at conflict resolution while others being better at investigation

some of the events lead to a relationship penalty but from the text I couldn't figure out how I could have known that in advance

But I did play it twice

Defying Fate by Psevdonim 2026-04-25T13:36:16Z

@psevdonim yes its on steam there is a mobile (andriod at least) version of merchant though I cant remember if there was a lite version. It has a similar premise you run a shop and send the adventures out to go collect resources to sell might try it for some inspiration if you plan on keeping on with the game

Cipher Tower by Teaminister 2026-04-22T23:20:03Z

This game was hard was having to basically create a cypher key in notpade to decode those letters

Loved the artwork

If you plan on refining the game any more the first thing I would suggest are sound effects on all the usable items

Birdwatch by LouDev 2026-04-24T22:48:10Z

That was fun, the difficulty jump there one level three was pretty surprising

Radioblet by Dwang 2026-04-22T19:54:17Z

Loved big iron being included
