LD60 — Old Tech (11)

Northline Ltd. by Custodi 2026-10-27T18:17:18Z ♥ 1

couldn't play it. instructions were too hard to understand as a non-native english speaker, and I guess being colorblind didn't help. cool music.

Old Remote Safari by Lomna 2026-10-21T04:13:29Z ♥ 1

Animation is really cool.

Argo by ACartlidge 2026-10-21T03:39:12Z ♥ 0

Cool graphics. I get the note-taking appeal for game designer, but like the comment above I would have really liked to get an in-game logbook of read notes.

Very well done nonetheless.

Reinvent the Wheel by DJTequila 2026-10-21T03:29:28Z ♥ 1

Very fun, and surprisingly controllable and easy to learn. I like the music too.

I chose the iron-rimmed spoked wheel since that was the fastest one, and was able to beat the game dying only 3 times or so at the start.

Ultimate future: spaceship laser adventure, the new-age shooter by Sevansevan 2026-10-21T03:16:19Z ♥ 1

So creative, so fun. In most of these LD games I rate fun pretty low, but this was brilliant. 5/5.

Game design expertise really shows.

Ancient Tech by Alex Mulkerrin 2026-10-19T19:33:55Z ♥ 1

Loved it. Some UI QoL missing, mostly knowing which buildings you already had, but for such a short game, not really mandatory.

Felt like A Dark Room mashed up with Civilization.

While the Lantern Burns by chuckeles 2026-10-19T19:10:45Z ♥ 1

This is amazing. My highest rated one so far.

Echo Chamber by mister_king 2026-10-19T19:01:46Z ♥ 1

Game is really unfair. To the enemies.

The Last Tumbler by Flightless 2026-10-19T18:47:10Z ♥ 1

Thanks for putting the HTML 5 logo. Made me click the game right away.

The art style is amazing. 5/5

Old World Skies by IndigoWolf 2026-10-19T18:18:04Z ♥ 0

I tried to code enemy AI for a flying game in the past and failed multiple times. It is extremely hardcore. If there was a "Tech" voting category for technical achievement I would have given you 6/5 there.

Signal Baron by skozlo 2026-10-19T18:01:48Z ♥ 0

Unfortunately the link is dead.

LD59 — Signal (15)

suno pi tomo tawa (Traffic Light) by jan Sate 2026-04-23T19:56:37Z ♥ 0

Wow this is very technically impressive. Now I'll have to check out more about CHIP-8.

I HATE PRINTERS by Ron88 2026-04-23T02:59:32Z ♥ 1

For it was the fruits one that was really hard.

swpr by criatura_nocturna 2026-04-23T02:02:38Z ♥ 1

I actually like this more than the original. Great idea.

Monolith by William Corrin 2026-04-22T01:24:46Z ♥ 2

2026-04-21_21-21.png I thought this big open area at the right was going to be some sort of Serious Sam secret large battle. But it was just there for exploring.

Great music and atmosphere.

The Message by Matt Giuca 2026-04-22T01:00:27Z ♥ 1

I guess with a bit more polish this would not require that much explanation. But the idea holds, it is very engaging to decode the signal.

Relay Runner by GettingRekt 2026-04-22T00:38:56Z ♥ 1

Best one I played so far. Very well executed. Love the audio in particular, both SFX and music.

Valiant Stars by LCStark 2026-04-22T00:30:03Z ♥ 2

You have to get the snowball running. Pretty satisfying.

Cheeky Cherry Choo Choo by Phlip45 2026-04-22T00:23:13Z ♥ 1

Theme is kind of weak. But otherwise very polished.

Buried Treasure by Pincushion 2026-04-22T00:15:26Z ♥ 1

Loved the map mark being visible in the world itself.

Catch the signals by Fifut 2026-04-21T23:57:27Z ♥ 1

Nice idea. Cool music.

I actually found it very intuitive to play.

Sacred Bleorgan Artifacts by marudziik 2026-04-21T23:52:53Z ♥ 1

Wow really feels like one of those experimental Atari 2600 era games design wise. High score in innovation from me.

Gridlock by MaggardJosh 2026-04-21T23:48:09Z ♥ 1

Love the music. What did you use to make it?

RoboNET by neowhoru 2026-04-21T23:42:53Z ♥ 1

That was really more fun and strategic that what it seemed to be at the beginning.

There are some cool level design instincts in this game.

Fresneltic by Shoalmuse 2026-04-21T23:37:18Z ♥ 0

Great idea.

Signal from the Stars by kassanu 2026-04-21T23:32:44Z ♥ 1

Nice concept. Just 2 minor things: - Tutorial is too annoying, game is easy to understand enough. - Not having codebook while decoding makes no sense, it just increases annoyance instead of being real difficulty in a game this long.

Still 9/10

LD58 — Collector (34)

Split Dawn by lazury 2025-10-24T21:41:23Z ♥ 0

I think you just got 20 ratings with mine! Congrats!

This Rocks! by ewpratten 2025-10-24T21:36:26Z ♥ 1

@cassowary just tested in with Firefox with user agent switched and it works just fine. I'm kinda philosophically opposed this dangerous extreme Chromium-only focus (remember IE6), but I gave it a try nonetheless.

Graphics/audio/mood are really well done. Animations are either too slow or my PC couldn't handle them (tried proper Chromium too, same results).

But nice relaxing experience.

Mars Rovers by Blazerker 2025-10-22T16:31:40Z ♥ 1

The concept is really good. But needs polishing to be fun to play to a longer while. 1. Camera controls overlapping with dragging the instructions are extremely annoying. 2. Very slow replays, so a speed up (2x, 5x, 10x even) would be greatly appreciated (I guess it currently mimics the Unity experience of making a line of code change and waiting a minute for recompilation).

Other than that, the puzzles were well made, the base gameplay is fun and engaging, the graphics and audio are well put together and aesthetically it really works.

Rating this very highly especially in innovation.

Weight of GOLD by Maxwell3000 2025-10-22T16:17:39Z ♥ 1

Very hard! Was the idea to avoid the coins? Because I tried that.

Tiny Monsters by Helen 2025-10-22T16:10:10Z ♥ 1

Really like the hand drawn graphics.

Seize by nOuChi 2025-10-22T15:54:08Z ♥ 1

Cool graphics and music. Needed a bit more of feed on what's actually happening when being attacked for example. Also is it normal that the items look cut off when placing them in the inventory? That made it a little hard to manage, but I guess it was part of the design?

tabli tablo by pataya 2025-10-22T15:48:10Z ♥ 1

Great start. Even with the funky placement and the incomplete gameplay, just assembling the thing is enjoyable to do. I'll definitely play a full game made from this base.

Genius Gallery by Silas Reinagel 2025-10-22T15:36:34Z ♥ 1

Insanely polished, almost to full mobile release levels. Gameplay is deep, intuitive, fun. Loved the Death Stranding inspiration and the Floating Islands artifact.

Cardboard Collector by StefanHolst 2025-10-22T04:51:08Z ♥ 2

Amazing that you where able to finish at all!

The Collector’s Due by GreenRadiation 2025-10-22T04:25:15Z ♥ 1

Very polished in visual art and SFX/music, and all well put together. Amazing in this regard.

Now the game design is a bit simple, fun but repetitive and a bit shallow.

Theme, I can see the collecting there, a bit tacked on may be, but works.

Very good entry in general.

Star Reaper by Shoalmuse 2025-10-22T03:39:36Z ♥ 0

Cool graphics. The turning was a bit to sensitive at least with my keyboard.

Private Inequity by Pirey 2025-10-22T03:31:56Z ♥ 1

5/5. My favorite game this LD so far. And it actually made the concept click with me.

Now I can try it in real life myself!

Trinket Trail by Allityle 2025-10-21T07:26:49Z ♥ 1

Cool art style! I don't get the card game plot though.

A Bulletmaster's Ritual by kiririn51 2025-10-21T07:19:09Z ♥ 2

Cool aesthetics for sure!

Tamago Bill by thegrottman 2025-10-21T07:16:25Z ♥ 1

I appreciate the absurdity of the premise.

The song is pretty good, but the rest of the audio is like 1 single sound effect.

But there is something about your game. While the audio design (except music), graphics and gameplay elements are all kind of basic, they all complement each other to make a greater experience in all regards. This in my opinion is a mark of a good start at designing games.

Mines of Enceladus by auxiliarymoose 2025-10-21T07:04:39Z ♥ 0

Controls actually become second nature after some minutes. Amazing atmosphere, great visual and audio design.

Candy Crunch by RubixNoob13 2025-10-21T06:56:01Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept, would be cool to see it actually more developed.

Letter Collector by lunarDust 2025-10-21T01:06:12Z ♥ 0

Nice concept. The `skip loot` should really not actually skip it and instead skip the requirement to click each to get them.

Trash Game by ursagames 2025-10-21T00:58:45Z ♥ 2

I think you just passed 20 ratings with mine! Good job.

Paperboy: Time to Collect by sslees 2025-10-10T17:54:45Z ♥ 1

LD really needs a new rating category for technical achievements. Replace humor maybe.

Meta Jammer by pschichtel 2025-10-08T00:00:01Z ♥ 4

Love it

The Internet Collector by YibiRabbit007 2025-10-07T04:29:22Z ♥ 4

My first 5/5 this LD! Amazing.

HarvestValley by OldDog 2025-10-06T22:27:04Z ♥ 0

Nice take on a classic Ludum Dare formula. Always love this kind of game, I think I played for more than an hour in a single session.

Quickollect by zubspace 2025-10-06T17:16:54Z ♥ 1

Aesthetically great. Audio, graphics and mood really sold it.

Human Coin Chicken Flower by kiv 2025-10-06T17:09:01Z ♥ 2

Wow solid idea. Innovation 5/5 for sure.

Puzzle Pieces by vidarn 2025-10-06T16:53:56Z ♥ 2

At first I was like, oh god, these devs just played Blue Prince and will make me do some annoying badly designed puzzles. But then my expectations where subverted.

Well played.

Idle Badger by lectvs 2025-10-06T06:04:42Z ♥ 1

@kkritikov Wasn't it like 1 billion? Really fun, played multiple times to see all of the collector's events.

Open Collector by Void4 2025-10-06T03:08:54Z ♥ 1

Found it to be really fun, played twice until I got all of the items.

Pollen Pusher by Quail Weaver 2025-10-06T02:48:32Z ♥ 1

Do this require color vision? Or maybe I'm just dumb.

If it doesn't I'll give it another go!

I'll rate the audio, graphics and mood in the meanwhile. All 5/5. Really polished.

And the controls. Really good idea and execution there.

Adult Life by kremlebot 2025-10-06T01:51:54Z ♥ 1

Oh no ratings? This was really cool.

Bone Collector by Antti Haavikko 2025-10-06T01:44:09Z ♥ 1

Theme feels a bit tacked on. Other than that, everything is really well polished, great graphics and sound.

Stealth Hobo by Thoastbot 2025-10-06T01:09:00Z ♥ 1

Pretty cool that this was made entirely in JS.

Concept is good and is fun already. Audio is actually good, nice tune and appropriate sound effects.

The hit-boxes are kind of annoying but since it is pretty short game, no big deal. In-game instructions would have been great.

Predincament by Threeli 2025-10-06T00:51:05Z ♥ 1

@threeli Oh now I get why you mentioned another train game! Lol. Nice start here, and you already nailed the soundscape and mood. Any plan to continue developing it? Edit: read about that already in the description.

Fatal Morgana by amirblum 2025-10-06T00:42:32Z ♥ 1

Some cool ideas with the aesthetics. It was pretty consistent in that regard.

LD54 — Limited Space (20)

Harold the Hoarder (Linux only) by Dudum Lare 2023-10-20T14:29:16Z ♥ 1

I would have tried to compile it myself if source was included. I can't test it now since I'm on Windows :(

UNLIMITED [Space] by 0dex 2023-10-20T14:27:16Z ♥ 0

I didn't understand what to do.

Forest Nothing by Corporation 2023-10-10T22:53:49Z ♥ 1

My T90 farms were extra hard to manage. Loved it.

Terminal Velocity by Roitchie 2023-10-10T22:38:05Z ♥ 1

Very different to the original but still a great homage.

Six Seats Left by F1Krazy 2023-10-10T20:19:16Z ♥ 1

I love how this little game makes one think about themselves. One of my main hobbies is classic menswear so the gentleman was accepted right away. One of my main dislikes about humanity is religion so the religious woman got rid of right away as well, and religion in its entirety with her.

windowkill by torcado 2023-10-03T21:28:20Z ♥ 2

Other than the evident coolness of the multi-window gameplay, the visual effects themselves are very flashy and good looking.

Skypiercer by Caladrius 2023-10-03T21:15:45Z ♥ 0

TLDR: the game. The game is about following some objective markers and when you're stuck go read some text then try interacting with everything.

Gameplay is very weak. Nice graphics and music. Theme is absent.

Mr.AdBar by eddynardo 2023-10-03T05:06:35Z ♥ 1

I can see this winning in innovation.

But we still love each other by rongon 2023-10-03T03:20:03Z ♥ 2

I love art games. This was too wholesome. And reminded me of why I bought a king size bed.

I also really liked the Bugsnax cameo.

Rude Bear Rollout by alexrose 2023-10-03T00:59:58Z ♥ 3

SPOILERS

Best ending in a LD game ever.

Just why? by Donitz 2023-10-03T00:29:36Z ♥ 1

No way I'm replaying this after losing near the end. But glad I did. 5/5.

Space Collector by WAD 2023-10-02T23:51:10Z ♥ 0

Is it unfinished maybe? I collect the crystals and then nothing happens.

Purrimeter by johnnysix 2023-10-02T23:44:08Z ♥ 1

4.5/5 Really good

Tiny Island by ghpxi 2023-10-02T23:20:23Z ♥ 3

I didn't understand why I won. But nice and well executed concept.

This Game Only Weighs 8 KB! by UnidayStudio 2023-10-02T23:11:52Z ♥ 3

We need a new "tech" or similar category to properly rate technically impressive games like this one.

Deadlinez by mickey-sanchez 2023-10-02T23:07:58Z ♥ 1

So polished for a compo game. Very innovative as well.

Gap Dango Shooter by zundou 2023-10-02T22:05:13Z ♥ 1

Nailed the aesthetics. So simple yet so satisfying and polished.

Knife Versus AK by livinamuk 2023-10-02T21:59:00Z ♥ 1

Technically very impressive.

Perilous Platforms by rcxa 2023-10-02T21:36:59Z ♥ 1

Nice concept to build upon.

Loopopera by torte478 2023-10-02T21:24:07Z ♥ 1

The "just take a step back" moment was really well executed and it complemented the Limited Space theme very gracefully.

Good music. Weak SFX but they still do the trick.

4/5

LD50 — Delay the inevitable (37)

Help Pete Delay The Inevitable by zell 2022-04-21T16:33:04Z ♥ 0

Conceptually this is the best one I played so far this LD, brilliant idea. Needs a lot of polish but the concept is really solid, 4/5 from me.

I think you got the 20 required ratings with mine! Congratulations.

LD50 Of Drones by M2tias 2022-04-16T00:00:35Z ♥ 1

I really like the 3D models, and the controls feel pretty tight.

The End? by michaelaranda 2022-04-15T23:54:07Z ♥ 0

So simple yet so effective, now I really want to try this with a friend.

Free Gas (Save gas put car in Neutral) by Collin Visser 2022-04-14T15:31:17Z ♥ 1

I rate this very high in "fun". Simple and really effective mechanics.

Snowmageddon by PurpledArtFrog 2022-04-14T14:45:31Z ♥ 1

Nice game, the only mechanic I think I didn't understand is the carrot one, I tried to give it to the penguins and to the snowmen, tried rubbing them with it, etc., and nothing happened.

Other than that, I really like how you made the entire map with like 3 different assets, pretty ingenious.

On Death's Door by Travh98 2022-04-10T19:23:11Z ♥ 0

Weird game, strange concept. Very funny, both in gameplay and in humor.

Myst the Alchemist by netpunk 2022-04-09T09:06:17Z ♥ 1

I can't say this isn't unique and innovative. Great concept and I think it could be made into a pretty fun mobile game.

With my rating you got the 20 required! Congrats.

Wildfire by Gildar76 2022-04-09T09:00:46Z ♥ 1

I feel it is somewhat inbalanced as the fires appear to quickly and are super hard to put off, but this may be on purpose. The tank controls feels OK to me, I even like them.

Other than that, I really appreciate the simulatio" part of the engineering behind this game, those things take time to program and for a Compo game it is pretty impressive. In my game I missed the Compo deadline because I spend almost two days working on the simulation alone.

save me by Kisilin 2022-04-09T09:00:20Z ♥ 0

Nice prototype, you found a very innovative mechanic in my opinion.

Ghost Caretaker by vidim888 2022-04-09T08:59:32Z ♥ 2

I played this for longer than most other games from the jam. The loop was fast, easy to learn, easy to improve on and the progression really fair.

I have a soft spot for graveyard themed games anyways, and digging graves to a Free Bird like song was really fun.

Graphics and sound effects are also very appropiate and well done, all contribute to the mood.

Mad Wizard's Attack by Fedora 2022-04-09T08:58:59Z ♥ 1

A bit unbalanced but very well though out design. I think having some more feedback about when and how strong the attack surges will be would make it much clearer what to prioritize and build at every moment.

The graphics, sound effects and music are all very appropiate and work really well, the UI is also good and clear and regarding UX I can only disagree with the choice of using ESC to go back to the main menu in a browser game, because it also takes you out of fullscreen.

Now this isn't something I usually take into account in jam games, but this is the exception: performance was teeerrible, somehow this game was hammering my CPU (a Ryzen 5 2600) and constantly stuttering. Not gamebreaking by any means but really annoying.

4/5 from me, very solid entry.

Campfire by Shadowcast 2022-04-09T08:55:55Z ♥ 1

The graphics were amazing, but I can't agree with the choice of low framerate (or maybe it was just my PC and not a choice by the dev), it only made the movement feel choppy and unresponsive.

The audio was pretty good as well.

I rate this 5/5 in mood.

As a game, it was too uninteractive for me, I only had to go get wood 3 times and it ended already.

Tanky the Eternal Tank by NorthernDevGuy 2022-04-09T07:46:22Z ♥ 2

Felt pretty polished and considerably more balanced than the usual jam game. A bit floaty in the controls but nothing too bad.

Delay Ludum Dare (Browser Extension) by Vladadamm 2022-04-08T01:15:33Z ♥ 0

What can I say, no matter how I look at this I can't rate it low in humor or innovation.

Tantric Adventurer by bucketh3ad 2022-04-07T11:41:55Z ♥ 1

I don't know if the music is actually or intentionally dynamic but it surely gives the impression of it.

I can't explain why but I found this quick little game really addictive. I know the music was a big part of it but I don't think it was just that.

Pretty unique interpretation of the theme in my opinion.

Immortal Snail by Mika314 2022-04-07T02:35:13Z ♥ 1

KEEP THE POWER by caudatecoder 2022-04-06T19:29:41Z ♥ 2

This was actually brilliant. Really unpolished but it doesn't even matter because the narrative and core mechanics are so engaging.

If you polish the game speed, make the graphics more consistent, the music less repetitive (but keep the style, it's good) and find a more friendly way to present your text, you have a hit here.

4.5/5 from me.

God's Rage by LiveInside 2022-04-06T19:16:49Z ♥ 2

For those having problems to pick up items, pick them up from the side, like from the handle for example.

Inevitable Defense by CodeChomper 2022-04-06T16:48:53Z ♥ 1

LOL at the radio dialogue, and when I first shot I actually thought someone was knocking at my door. Those made me laugh so I'll this pretty high in humor. The graphics are very nice as well.

I have to say it, the HTML5 badge on the game icon made me pick this one to play.

Graveyard Path by JOrbits 2022-04-06T08:12:43Z ♥ 2

Solid entry. I really appreciate that you don't need to go back too far away each time you reset, that would have been very frustrating.

OSTRO by Totteri 2022-04-06T08:02:40Z ♥ 2

Loved this one. I wonder if I missed any secrets. Everything was really well done here, nothing bad to say about it.

Tick by ChewieCB 2022-04-06T07:16:39Z ♥ 3

Great art, reminded me of and old GM game called Iji.

Eye Fly by Koolruz 2022-04-06T04:56:49Z ♥ 1

Nice graphics, I really struggled with the levels here, but I don't that they're too hard or unfair, I just think that the difficulty curve is too step and level 3 is already extremely hard compared to level 2.

Overall great job, everything feels pretty polished and well executed.

The Pit by Itskdog 2022-04-06T04:49:55Z ♥ 0

Hydroponica by Cakestorm 2022-04-05T20:50:58Z ♥ 1

I agree with what you wrote. Visuals and audio are top notch, and the gameplay can definitely be expanded upon.

Hold The Line by Griggy 2022-04-05T19:56:55Z ♥ 2

I liked the Age of Empires style of balance and it also reminded me of that old Warcraft III and SC2 defense map.

Nice graphics.

Francis time by Skvader_418 2022-04-05T19:18:41Z ♥ 1

Really fun. What I liked the most is how the assault rifle is held upside down.

Bitboy by Proxy-Games 2022-04-05T08:05:55Z ♥ 1

Very intriguing to say the least. I was ready to come and give a mediocre score until I read the comments. Glad I did reload it.

DelayTheHordeTD by CosmicGriffin 2022-04-05T07:16:12Z ♥ 1

I don't think the game was really broken or janky, it played really well in my opinion. Great job.

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-05T06:31:12Z ♥ 1

Please turn this into a full mobile game. It's a winner formula, super fun, quick to play and easy to learn.

Crazy Cats by Ladymarengo 2022-04-05T06:24:13Z ♥ 1

Crazy cats indeed.

Pixel Entropy by CrispyPin 2022-04-05T06:13:32Z ♥ 2

I actually really enjoy these sort of super experimental simulators, thanks for making it.

Buhanochka Z by gdesecrate 2022-04-05T06:05:05Z ♥ 1

I actually like the N64 graphics and the bouncy camera, but there wasn't really any gameplay or did I not understand it?

Mo'cats by Pam 2022-04-05T05:46:16Z ♥ 1

Nice to pets so many cats. I wanted to pet a black one though.

Flooded Caves by nusan 2022-04-05T05:41:07Z ♥ 1

My first 5/5 this LD. The simulation felt so good, reminded me of my obsession with the Creeper World games.

Dungeon Crawl by jzucc12 2022-04-05T05:14:36Z ♥ 1

Reaaally fun, I don't get what's the point in using the shield, but I really enjoyed the game.

Untitled Zombie Shooter by Ismael Rodriguez by Ismael Rodriguez 2022-04-05T05:00:29Z ♥ 0

Oh so even past winners can experience these kind of clutches. It's so frustrating when it happens but great learning experiences because what leads to them is pushing ourselves to the limit in the first place. Amazing that you scrambled something and submitted it still.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper (15)

Magic Sword Swallowing by gramozilho 2021-05-12T13:39:28Z ♥ 2

First 5/5 in this jam from me. Frustratingly fun. You've nailed that quick and constant die-learn-restart loop that makes games like VVVVVV work.

Object LD48 by cpv 2021-05-12T13:29:49Z ♥ 1

Does it have an ending? Nice start, I liked how the enemies jumped to try to get you.

Aye! Aye! Captain! by Lumous 2021-05-06T04:00:34Z ♥ 0

Super simple, to the point, and fun. Reminded me of the old Clickteam Fusion games both in art style and gameplay.

Surface by lb01 2021-04-28T03:47:06Z ♥ 0

This gives me great ideas for graphics! So simple and so effective. 5/5.

Submarine Adventure by bflatinteractive 2021-04-27T17:17:32Z ♥ 2

Our games are similar in concept, and I feel like we even went the same route of trying to make them more about a relaxing exploration experience.

I really liked the retro 3D style, the sound design and atmosphere you achieved.

Mine of Mine (web) by darkshadow 2021-04-27T17:06:41Z ♥ 1

As danvil said, some little extra upgrades like TNT would be great.

Sheltered Deep by ThorPalsson 2021-04-27T16:23:28Z ♥ 3

The graphics, sound and mood are amazing. This may be subjective, but the pacing is a bit slow for me. Still 4/5, I was really immersed in the game.

Deep Sea Mining by Ausstein 2021-04-27T15:34:28Z ♥ 2

The visual effects were very nice. And as the other commented said, I would totally play this outside of LD. I didn't mind the combat though, in fact I've found it challenging and fun.

Sound, mood, fun are excellent. Visual effects are good too. Very solid 4.5/5.

Voyager by RajatG 2021-04-27T15:13:04Z ♥ 1

Our games have the same name, that got me interested right away.

Magic Frontier by Firebelley 2021-04-27T14:02:02Z ♥ 3

Very polished and super fun. The animation, music and pacing makes for an amazing game feel. But the theme really didn't fit in. It feels like if the idea came from before the jam almost. Still a great game and a 5/5.

Deeper Bros. Digital Computer by Adam Selker 2021-04-27T13:43:02Z ♥ 1

I'll save this for later to try on a Mac system, I think it should just work. In the meanwhile, I'm just glad I discovered this Blessed library, looks really fun to tinker with.

rm -rf by Tiago Cruz 2021-04-27T13:39:59Z ♥ 1

Very original and surprising. The gameplay is a bit simple but the take on the idea in itself gave me a laugh and navigating through my own computer like this was really fun and something easy to get distracted with for a good amount of time.

Tap Trick by Salman_Shh 2021-04-27T06:55:41Z ♥ 0

Not related to the theme in the slightest, otherwise 5/5. Graphics, audio, gameplay are super polished.

Deep Sewers by Turtle Games 2021-04-27T04:19:03Z ♥ 1

I liked the Half-Life plants. The game feels very completed and well planned, for me all that was missing was some balance with the time rewards and the prices, but in my experience balance is one of the hardest aspects to get right in a game jam, as one usually expends most of the time working on the game systems.

Mood is very good, everything is really consistent in style (music, characters, level design).

Solar Subs by Simpathey 2021-04-27T03:22:28Z ♥ 1

Great music and atmosphere, and I found the gameplay very original and dynamic. An extended version of this would be perfect for mobile phones.

LD47 — Stuck in a loop (31)

Phone Tree of Despair by Jezzamon 2020-10-27T22:56:51Z ♥ 1

This is brilliant.

PWR SRG! by J-Dubs 2020-10-25T23:26:37Z ♥ 1

Nice, I actually like these jam style super rough graphics, and your music and sound effects are pretty good in the more traditional way.

That you didn't even consider the theme doesn't matter, just keep making games and publishing them no matter how small or simple they are and you'll only get better and better. If you get tired of a project it is better to cut out all of the pending features, add a menu with a "Play" buton and publish it in its current state than to leave it in your hard drive to die. You'll be thanking yourself some years from now if you take that approach.

3kliksphilip here made a very short and fascinating series on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRDhcp_8c7uAPQfE6WMBo7PCNlkQIOLdO.

Some notes: - Is it better to build and upload your game to itch.io as a zip or even as a single executable instead of an installer. That way the itch app takes care of everything automatically, and it doesn't scare those downloading it directly. - You should really rate some 20 or so games and leave feedback to them before the time runs out, or your game will be buried in the discovery list. You can start with mine ;) - Keep making games, even short and simple ones, and publish them all on itch.io. I'll follow you and play your games if you don't mind. - Never get discouraged by feedback or your Ludum Dare rating. Just keep making games no matter what.

Blobber by Cherry_princess 2020-10-25T15:38:48Z ♥ 0

I also wasn't able to find all the clues. You should post a walkthrough so we can see the ending. I really liked the game.

Do-While-For by primitive-concept 2020-10-25T15:21:01Z ♥ 1

5/5 brilliant. Very trippy. The game got me hooked until the end.

Adam - Now in 3D by hjeldin 2020-10-25T15:06:06Z ♥ 0

Very interesting. I only could across one bug: once when I touched my past self, the screen faded to black after some flickering and stayed black forever.

Inferno of Espantalho by gustavo.christino 2020-10-25T14:58:10Z ♥ 1

Other people already pointed up everything about the game. Except for these: - In the web version, if the game tab loses focus the game pauses. So you have to necessarily keep it active while you wait for the day to end. - I love that you have a "Game designer assistant" in your credits.

RingCastle by tomcooper 2020-10-25T14:46:39Z ♥ 0

The animation is excellent and also the sound and mood.

I just walked and walked until the game ended, while I have no problems with walking simulators, the picking up things mechanic was a little confusing, as it hints at it being useful but really isn't. But I really liked the game.

Suitcase Panic by TheInkSkeleton 2020-10-25T10:19:59Z ♥ 2

A bit too hard in the way you executed it but the idea is pretty good. I think you should need it a lot slower overall or at least to progressively scale the speed more slowly.

The other problem I saw is that you can't really never know if you should discard any bag.

The Cursed Tower by SevenLevelGames 2020-10-25T10:07:49Z ♥ 1

Interesting, I found it really fun, and player until the color puzzle, which was impossible for me because I'm color blind.

St. Exton's Night by aurel 2020-10-24T23:36:19Z ♥ 0

Great graphics. You should also upload the jam version so we can more fairly rate your game.

Platformer CS:GO with a laser AK-47 and a jetpack.

In The Loop by Luc-creationallabs 2020-10-24T22:22:40Z ♥ 1

Brilliantly executed.

Loopomotive by JPiolho 2020-10-24T22:10:14Z ♥ 2

Super polished.

I specially loved the weird music style. Is there any place where I can hear more from you?

Welcome to Station Alpha by Theo Ratkin 2020-10-24T22:01:57Z ♥ 1

We had kind of the same concept in our games, but I liked your execution much more. Very well done, the mood was perfect.

Did you also implement the looping with teleports?

Loopin' - A C64 action puzzle game by Endurion 2020-10-24T21:33:19Z ♥ 0

Extra points from me for making a C64 game. That also instantly gave it great mood, aesthetics and sound. The gameplay was also very solid.

Only thing missing was some rad SID music.

A Day in the Woods by ditam 2020-10-24T20:12:29Z ♥ 1

Reminded me a bit of Dear Esther because of the mood and storytelling. Can you tell us the true ending? And about the chest.

HONK II by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-10-24T19:50:35Z ♥ 2

Felt like you had the game idea before the jam and tried to fit in the theme somehow after it started. Still excellently done, very fun and polished.

WhileLoops by Ausstein 2020-10-24T19:43:21Z ♥ 1

Is it even possible to win? Incredible concept, execution, sound, gameplay, graphics. 5/5.

Orbit by DaSpikeyBoss 2020-10-24T19:30:34Z ♥ 0

Space bar destroyer game. Pretty fun.

Loop Runners by schraf 2020-10-24T19:21:27Z ♥ 0

Only needed a way to end the game, everything else worked perfectly.

Speedy Spider VS Fishy Fish by gaspard 2020-10-24T19:16:22Z ♥ 1

Loved the music and art.

The gameplay is basically the final boss of a very hard game right from the start. The controls were very innovative actually.

I wasn't able to kill the boss in like 30 tries. Still, 4/5 from me.

Arcternal by superjai 2020-10-24T19:09:29Z ♥ 2

I really liked how the loop seemed to be visible at the other side of the playfield. Also the controls were spot on and very innovative.

4.5/5 from me, only missed some incentive to keep playing. A simple score or time counter would have been enough.

Edge of Ludum Dare by danielblanco3d 2020-10-24T18:52:24Z ♥ 1

Thanks for translating and for making it Web!

Radical Rails by neontropics 2020-10-24T18:48:56Z ♥ 1

Art style is great, and the game is pretty fun.

Just out of curiosity, I really want to know what does the "Smooth controls" option do, as both options feel the same to me.

Chaos in the Cabin by Moritz Jaeger 2020-10-12T23:16:21Z ♥ 2

This has to win in humor.

Duplicafé by kantieno 2020-10-12T18:16:53Z ♥ 1

Day 5 is super chaotic. I delivered only 1 more cider on it than day 4 in my first attempt. Loved the game.

Aztec Ride by Idan Rooze 2020-10-12T17:59:14Z ♥ 3

The visual style, music and sound design are amazing. You'll probably win this LD in some categories.

Crash Thunderstud Returns by JavaSaurus 2020-10-06T20:43:03Z ♥ 1

Audio and game feel are amazing. Nice take on the theme too.

For-Ever by freso 2020-10-06T16:49:51Z ♥ 4

I really the concept, atmosphere, music and gameplay. Except for it taking you back when losing and making it harder each time by accelerating the enemy, that only made it punishing and frustrating. Still, 4/5.

Framed Space by LaJazuve 2020-10-06T16:33:19Z ♥ 1

Amazing that you put this together so fast. Its quirky but it works and is easy to understand.

Disco Loop by DotSquare 2020-10-06T16:11:00Z ♥ 1

Nice concept, just needed actual music and a move window a bit more forgiving in my opinion.

LD45 — Start with nothing (7)

EV/1 by OiledOwl 2019-10-10T21:46:16Z ♥ 1

Maybe consider lowering the price when you launch it. $60 for it seems to expensive in its current state.

One eraser / one rubber by chispaLBC 2019-10-10T21:18:22Z ♥ 1

Super fun, and super consistent in style, the music adds a lot too. You can infinitely extend this game, it's sort of like "Doodle God" but even more fun. 5/5 from me, only complain is that the background made my eyes hurt.

Maybe All Alone by bb_buster 2019-10-10T21:06:46Z ♥ 1

I also want to try the finished version!

Spooky Cemetery by JGugino 2019-10-10T20:58:12Z ♥ 1

I can't see anything and the F key doesn't do anything either. :( sorry I really wanted to play as the game is similar in concept to mine. I won't rate for now, maybe you can help me. Captura.PNG

Ant Wars RTS by DragonsBeardGames 2019-10-09T23:14:09Z ♥ 1

I made a similar, but significantly worse in terms of gameplay, game for another jam https://rootstudio.itch.io/hive-mind. I really like RTS with macro focused controls, almost 5/5 from me, it was just missing some sound and a way to know if you're under attack, but I perfectly understand how hard is to make an RTS for a jam. Great job.

Neon Void by egawag 2019-10-09T22:54:26Z ♥ 2

5/5. Super polished from start to finish.

Newborn AI by Lars-Erik 2019-10-09T22:42:42Z ♥ 1

It's that the Unix operating system? Nice game.

LD44 — Your life is currency (4)

Roboxery by cozmic 2019-04-30T20:56:07Z ♥ 0

With enough patience, you can just position yourself and wait for boxes to come. With little of though into level design, this can become a very engaging game.

Deep Space Prospector by Roidz 2019-04-30T15:39:46Z ♥ 1

The particle effects, graphics, sound design and fine balance all contributed to a great and very polished game feel. My first 5/5 this LD.

Deathly Trade by Kristof Franko 2019-04-30T15:19:10Z ♥ 3

Very fun, but it's lacking badly some cooldown indicators, that will bump the enjoyment by 10x. Some balance tips: armaggeddon and "souls gained per kill" are all you need, max out these and the game is a breeze.

The Aging Soul by bigwhiteshogun 2019-04-30T04:26:50Z ♥ 1

This is the first one I tried this LD, and it's great. If this will be the level of the entries, the competition will be harder than ever.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (8)

Jesus Take the Wheel by PeachTreeOath 2018-12-19T22:28:21Z ♥ 2

It gets wild after a while. Very fun, made me laugh a lot. Great attention to detail and very fun.

Goodboy Advance by rik 2018-12-06T12:26:59Z ♥ 3

I tried the game on a real device, and it crashed randomly, and locked the entire device until I restarted it (maybe there's some memory leaks or something like that).

IMG_20181206_090901.jpg

So I had to complete in with the emulator. And I'm glad I did:

- The gameplay is very engaging and fun, the pacing is great, everything feels polished and balanced. - The level design is excellent, the always going down mechanic was really enjoyable and gave the game a very good flow, it never felt frustrating or too easy. - The music has a strong Fez vibe, every track is good, and the fact that it is somewhat dynamic depending on the chosen path made it even better. This is one of the factors that made me enjoy the game the most. I'm still listening to the credits song right now as I'm writing this. - The graphics look exactly like these of any good GBA game. Perfectly done.

This game really feels like a GBA game, and a good one. 5/5 from me in every category. I hope you win the Jam.

Total Party Kill by adventureislands 2018-12-05T14:29:42Z ♥ 1

Great level and game design. My first 5/5 rating this LD.

I'll check your non-jam games too, they look great!

The Chosen Sheep by Ellenack 2018-12-05T13:46:25Z ♥ 2

How does the game ends? I find it impossible to get past 20 sheep. Great game 4.5/5 from me!

To the Last Drop by gajop 2018-12-04T18:29:45Z ♥ 2

Very well made. And made with Spring! I wish I could do anything with this engine, I do really like it. Never thought that anything like this could be done with it.

Sacrifice to the Flames by Kovakomes 2018-12-04T17:58:12Z ♥ 1

Good music and the game feels polished, but it's very fast, I could not read any of the descriptions, and didn't understand what the percentages mean.

Sacrificial City by Glassar 2018-12-04T17:41:00Z ♥ 2

Very fun, the music is not good, but I didn't minded the simple graphics as the gameplay was really engaging. Had me playing for a while. Very well balanced too.

DYRKAN by ankan 2018-12-04T15:54:43Z ♥ 2

I really liked how the font made the game appear to be in some old language.

LD42 — Running out of space (14)

Bomb Factory by Lucas Ferrantelli 2018-09-03T14:59:56Z ♥ 1

Gets wild pretty fast. Probably the most addicting one I played so far this LD. Great music, graphics, very polished. 5/5 from me.

Trapista by Matsudasu 2018-08-16T02:52:48Z ♥ 1

This is my only 5/5 in innovation so far. Very good and unique game.

Follow The Light by DraperDanMan 2018-08-16T02:31:32Z ♥ 2

You really nailed that "Mirror's Edge" feel.

POLYARNIK by icxon 2018-08-16T02:17:46Z ♥ 2

Best one I played so far. Solid in everything. 5/5 from me.

Space Compact by garris 2018-08-16T01:37:25Z ♥ 1

I still don't know why do I like space trade games so much. Nice game, great execution.

Crumble by anstabo 2018-08-16T01:25:42Z ♥ 2

It makes no sense that you managed to make all of this in 72 hours. 5/5 from me.

Digital Abyss by TwinGhosts 2018-08-16T00:46:10Z ♥ 2

404 Not found: We couldn't find your page (with a frog logo) :(

Constellations by pmarincak 2018-08-16T00:26:33Z ♥ 1

Very nice little moody game. Great sound, graphics, mood, but the gameplay was too much on the simple side. Still a good rating from me.

High Tide [html5] by SuperQGS 2018-08-16T00:19:20Z ♥ 3

I little on the easy side as the crabs came always from the same places. Very impressive that you made this all by yourself in pure JS, that definitely means extra points from me. I also like that while simple, the graphics, sound and UI captured the look of old classic Win 3.11 games very well. Solid entry.

HUBOTS by khofez 2018-08-16T00:12:28Z ♥ 1

Great graphics and gameplay, solid sound. It is really impressive how you managed to code this so quickly. I really liked the controls and visual effects.

EPIC THEATER by filgreen3 2018-08-16T00:05:15Z ♥ 1

Great entry! I really enjoyed playing it, maybe the moving rate of the line is a little slow, but it wasn't too annoying either. The gameplay, graphics and sound were solid and created a pretty good mood.

Weltraum by JLV 2018-08-15T23:51:44Z ♥ 3

A little non-interactive for my tastes, but I finished it. Good audio, nice story.

SGStduio - Holly Sheep by SumGamStudio 2018-08-15T00:52:43Z ♥ 4

I like the trippy game over effect. 5/5 because of that. Good music too.

Last Days on Mars by snails84 2018-08-14T22:58:54Z ♥ 2

Best one I tried so far (I tried 3). 4/5 from me. *Edit: I now played many more LD games, and this is still the best one.*

LD39 — Running out of Power (16)

Nightwalk by sreal 2017-08-15T21:42:42Z ♥ 1

I always will prefer this kind of movement (a finished version, of course) to physics based. It feels much more solid.

Plastic Frontline by Aggrathon 2017-08-15T21:36:22Z ♥ 2

A few super upgraded Lasers can make endless endless.

Great game, had me playing for a long time.

COAL by beta 2017-08-15T20:37:03Z ♥ 2

Was that music dynamic? Or just by luck the song ended just as I completed the game?

Nice entry!

Power Rod by sixteen 2017-08-15T20:26:52Z ♥ 1

The music was great! And the game fun.

30 Days by Asixa 2017-08-15T02:11:22Z ♥ 1

Really well made game, except for the not fitting at all music. The graphics, animations, transitions, balance is excellent.

Please review some games so yours won't get buried!

I didn't get it. Where's the theme? Also, those priority and expendable numbers, what do they mean?

Power Plant Manager by Josh6680 2017-08-05T03:37:02Z ♥ 1

I see this as an innovative take on the Idle clicker genre. Sadly it's unfinished. Still great concept.

Very Fast Robot Rolling at High Speed by binary_coder 2017-07-31T23:17:02Z ♥ 2

Please don't upload installers. Game Maker allow you to export a simple .zip file. I won't install it. Maybe I'll download the source and try it that way.

*Update: so I downloaded the project and ran it through Game Maker. Glad I'm did. The game is very well done, the controls and movement feel very polished, the graphics and sound are good. Solid entry. Really fun to play game. Also there's many levels with different mechanics all introduced progressively in the right order and time.*

Power Insufficient by theoddpotion 2017-07-31T19:09:22Z ♥ 1

This is reaaally good. I like these kind of games. One minor detail: the background is killing my eyes, it should be mostly black. But the gameplay is very good, this one had me playing a long time.

5/5 from me.

V.E.S.T.A.L.E. by kromeboy 2017-07-31T19:00:38Z ♥ 1

Gets hard quickly! One of the most unique games I tried this LD so far.

Plane'R by R3L0ad1 2017-07-31T18:38:25Z ♥ 4

I love how Unity and company are re-creating what kids in the 80's experienced with home computers and Basic interpreters.

The game is pretty well made, the controls are inverted (y-axis) but it's not a big deal. Good graphics, good sound, fun gameplay. Very polished feel in general.

You have a future kid, please keep coming back to Ludum Dare. I'm impressed and want to see you evolution.

Bounty by Gurvan 2017-07-31T17:52:21Z ♥ 3

The bug made me fell like Victarion Greyjoy sailing through the Dothraki Sea ;)

Nice game, the ship definitely turns too fast, but I liked the idea and overall execution.

Reserve Battery by Vehem 2017-07-31T17:40:32Z ♥ 2

Great graphics, controls and overall feel.

Escape from Solar Sea Fortress by designernap 2017-07-31T17:00:36Z ♥ 4

Excellent graphics, idea, mood and music. Great execution. The game was fun, sadly the batteries where very frustrating to handle and the puzzle that required three of them was practically unsolvable because of the finicky batteries.

Still almost a 5/5 from me. I think you should opt out of the humor category so it doesn't affect your score, as the game doesn't have anything do with humor.

⚡Current City⚡ by JnKrambrich 2017-07-31T15:36:12Z ♥ 3

Concept is good, and the ammount of content surprising, specially considering it's the developer's first Ludum Dare, the developer even managed to get a complete tutorial into the game.

The game is fun, it takes a short time to learn the mechanics.

Tip for the players: don't grow too fast or you won't be able to keep up with the growing population.

What's missing is a game ending condition I think, I was like -1000000 in money and every citizen hated me and still didn't lose. The music was a little annoying and there was no mute button.

Overall great entry! Please keep coming back to Ludum Dare.
