LD53 — Delivery

Spycraft: Echelon City by NicMagnier 2023-05-02T19:31:31Z

This was really fun! I was especially impressed with how intuitive it felt and how overall fun it was.

Gold Extraction by obittner 2023-05-02T18:16:09Z

Hey, thanks @yossarian for checking out our game! We sadly ran out of time a little bit and so it's not quite clear. You can open a build menu and build a mine on one of the ore deposits right when the game starts :)

The nexus (helipad) will gain a small trickle of gold aswell.

Thank you, i have updated the description.

LD54 — Limited Space

Full Circle by Erkberg 2023-10-06T07:52:20Z

Intuitive to understand, fun and quite challenging. I like it!

Gremlin Books Incorporated by bramreth 2023-10-05T09:17:53Z

I really like the humor in this! :)

Astrobound by VR_Corry 2023-10-05T09:22:55Z

This was really fun and felt surprisingly polished. As we also did a 3D space game this time, I have to give big props on the graphics. Looking real good :)

Acid! by FudgeGoneWild 2023-10-03T13:36:15Z

Really satisfying and really fun in general!

LD55 — Summoning

Doppel Effect by Wendel Scardua 2024-04-16T11:51:55Z

Very cool, i liked it quite a bit! Beeing a NES game makes it even cooler :)

Once i spawned in the second guy, i got kinda excited since this is very similar to the mechanics in our entry ^^

Pitchfork Pandemonium by AndideBob 2024-04-16T12:36:02Z

The art is cute, i think the audio fits well and its quite fun to play! I definitly like how you did the balancing and solved the spam too.

Seamonner Survivor by Transkuja 2024-04-16T12:11:13Z

Game was fun, impressivly polished and i think a very fun spin on the "survivor" type of game. Good job! :)

Gravediver by echerry 2024-04-16T10:11:07Z

The art in this are very nicely done and look polished, good job!

Summon Kid by juninhostrife 2024-04-16T11:19:11Z

The ideas in this were so good! I was really bummed when i realized it was only two levels because it reminded me a bit of our own game - but we all know how it is^^

Aldoria's King by Locke8 2024-04-16T10:47:33Z

Pretty fun overall. It was a bit unintuitive to control at first but with a bit of post reading it was easy enough to figure out :)

Would you still love me if I was a worm ❤️🪱? by samsface 2024-04-16T10:31:18Z

Very fun to play, lots of content and very humorous! Very well done, enjoyed this a lot!

Mass Move Minion Magic by obittner 2024-04-16T14:05:22Z

@obanigarage we made a bugfix that introduced this, if you redownload from itch, its now fixed again.

Mass Move Minion Magic by obittner 2024-04-16T21:05:21Z

@online-play good job still! If you want to try again, try sacrifice ;)

Eldritch Invoker by Nimolas 2024-04-16T09:34:46Z

I really liked the graphics and mood - it is however a little hard to understand what's going on at times. It took a while for me to get a fight going because i didn't know how to start the "summoning". Idea is really cool tho and i very much like the style.

SPELLBINDER by eugene-b 2024-04-16T11:14:03Z

Game seems very cool, i like the graphics and sounds. Unfortunatly i couldnt figure out how to collect any element other than "luck", no matter at which altar i was. Maybe with a good tutorial it would be easier to understand.

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-16T09:27:54Z

I really liked the effects & the game loop was definitly fun. I got stuck however because i kept recieving only contracts that were too hard for my character.

Plaguebringers by zablas 2024-04-16T09:21:27Z

This was really fun!, at first i took 2 tried to understand that killing people is good (at first i thought i needed them to spread before dieing) but as soon as i figured out the game it got much easier!

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Down In The Well of Souls by damdoshi 2024-10-10T08:10:01Z

I love the style, nice :)

Virus Vanquisher by lectvs 2024-10-10T08:14:53Z

This was great fun! Love the concept - there were some moments where the grappling hook didn't act as i expected which was a little frustrating but absolutly enjoyable!

Checkmite by Roitchie 2024-10-08T19:53:01Z

Very nice! The graphics are very cute and well rounded, everything feels smooth and its fun to play. Good job!

Tiny Mushy Froggies by BitLuderRb7804Fr 2024-10-08T20:02:46Z

Very fun but also very hard! The bees at the end are evil! :)

Mercenary Exorcist by juju 2024-10-10T10:27:46Z

Nice game, the shooting was fun, i did feel at times that the sequence between places with no monsters to shoot was too long and the game was too slow/easy in general - but i also play shooters a lot :)

Tiny Terrarium by dnich013 2024-10-08T08:48:11Z

I like it! Unfortunatly the game crashed when I wanted to make the screenshot but I found this to be an enjoyable change of pace :)

Ants Save The Queen by Filip Vannfält 2024-10-08T08:59:29Z

I really enjoyed this! Using the ants ans ammo is great and the bossfight was quite fun.

Tiny Poopers and You by Chuckiee 2024-10-09T14:53:44Z

Charming and fun - are there only two levels? I got a "thanks for cleaning up poop" screen, would have played further :)

Hemogoblins! by MeedasGuy 2024-10-09T15:03:17Z

Fun to play, however i encountered a bug twice where no further waves would spawn. I got to wave 42 tho before it happened again and enjoyed it.

Creepy Crypt Critters by ArcadeEleven 2024-10-10T10:33:16Z

Very nice, loved the tutorial/progession. Everything felt very polished, good job!

LD57 — Depths

Moleman's Manhole Mayhem by sirblazealot 2025-04-08T12:55:04Z

The movement felt nice, the attack was a bit hard to get right but i just started to avoid the enemies instead. Game overall was fun, i enhoyed it :)

Camp Ketosis by Genesis 2025-04-08T02:23:08Z

I was a little confused but the intro was very cinematic and the movement felt very nice!

GOLDLOVING STONEHATING IDOL by SurWeaver 2025-04-09T12:55:35Z

This was really fun! I had never seen this concept before and really enjoyed it. I guess the difficulty lies in trying to get all the gold and gems but it would have been nice to have to puzzle a bit more to actually complete the levels.

Star Spawn by AngstjaegerStudio904 2025-04-08T02:18:34Z

The visuals were very nice! I would have loved a little more input during the fight tho :)

Doctrines - LD57 Game by Riggen 2025-04-08T02:31:31Z

The visuals are stunning and i liked this game overall. I had a ??? card that i did not understand and could not use - also the card picking was a bit infuriating at times ^^

LD58 — Collector

Meta Jammer by pschichtel 2025-10-07T14:06:01Z

Such a great idea

Garbage Hero by williambsm 2025-10-07T14:04:24Z

I enjoyed the game but i either didn't quite understand everything or its REALLY hard ^^

Do Not The Mushroom! by Rionisse 2025-10-07T13:23:14Z

I had fun and the visuals are really good! Altough my laptop did have to struggle quite a bit haha

Summerfall by anstabo 2025-10-07T14:27:14Z

Wow, great asthetics and very relaxing :)

Trash Catchers by mira 2025-10-07T12:58:50Z

Nice graphics, cool idea, i deffinitly enjoyed it! Only critique i found is the collisions aren't super clear but it wasnt a great issue :)

GNOWER by Aune 2025-10-11T12:25:46Z

Very good opening scene, good gameplay with a good balance between difficulty and ease of understanding. I certanly had fun!

Rust Rebirth by Paulsams 2025-10-11T11:56:44Z

I honestly was a little sad once the vision module got installed as i was REALLY impressed from the radar visuals but in general the visuals and sounds were really good. I unfortunatly got stuck between two boxes on my first try.

Destruct-A-Bots by Bluepir 2025-10-08T07:45:15Z

Fun game with good presentation, a little easy once i figured out that i could just overwhelm the enemy on all lanes but really reminded me of Plants vs Zombies

Type II by Jo Bettaque 2025-10-08T07:32:13Z

@aurora-bee Thank you for your detailled feedback, we apprecheate it!

Čertík´s final stroll by Janinna21 2025-10-07T13:03:51Z

The end screen was quite beautiful

Grabby by tangling 2025-10-07T14:22:15Z

VERY impressive UI/graphics. I think the automated "I want this" or "I don't want this" makes the game a tad too easy altough i still had fun. One frustrating little thing is that my german keyboard layout was not respected, turning my correct Z into a Y ;)

Star Reaper by Shoalmuse 2025-10-07T13:12:23Z

The graphics are very nice, the pixelated destruction is really impressive. It was quite hard for me and at first i didn't understand how to get the bombs but still, gj :)

Dragons Hoard by Luna-Smol 2025-10-07T14:16:36Z

Fun game! The difficulty curve is a bit surprising tho - i felt like i was super OP, then the knights broke my ego in one turn^^

C-C-Collector by Discomorphine 2025-10-07T13:29:25Z

The graphics are really nice, especially the water was impressive. The controls were a bit hard and i would have enjoyed a "grap" to carry objects as i had to abuse the physics a bit in order to get behind the box.

LD59 — Signal

AIST: Absolutely Irrational Sapper Technology by chakramgl 2026-04-23T08:37:15Z

Very cool, fun idea and felt fun to play. The explosions felt satisfying and the visuals were also nice. Good job! :)

Beacon by CodeChomper 2026-04-23T01:43:46Z

The game was fun when i actually got it to run but the main menu was really confusing and hard to read

Signal Drift by kpded 2026-04-23T08:41:35Z

Cool idea and fun game. The satellite was a bit hard to get right but the game still workes

Beat the signal by Avzgui 2026-04-21T09:53:10Z

It was fun and chill, maybe even got a bit stressful later. I did a large 100sth streak right of the bat but never got close again after^^

Squint by UntitledQ 2026-04-21T09:48:31Z

Sharpening blurry images on a grindstone is legit peak :D Fun game!

Radio Silence Gone by Juutis 2026-04-21T09:26:56Z

Very satisfying to shoot and have them splatter around, i played for quite a while and had quite a bit of fun!

Wave Rider by Sariiger 2026-04-21T10:42:39Z

I really like the idea of shifting the frequency to control your character, very unique! The hitbox of the player may be a bit large, i had the hopes of "squeezing through" a few times but did not ^^

LEFT ON RED by Lenny Rudeberg 2026-04-21T08:50:52Z

Fun mechanic, i really liked the graphics and the physics on ball hit aswell. Unfortunatly i got stuck after completing the first Quick Time Event and it could not register my keystrokes even when standing on the green dot.

Raid Simulator: A Raid Reborn by ruruie 2026-04-21T09:08:23Z

I really like this idea. It did feel at times like actually playing a multiplayer raid with people deciding what to do and trying to memorize the pattern. I never beat the boss though, my people keep dying! ^^

The Marshaller by BoroBoro 2026-04-21T18:00:54Z

Cool idea with the level editor. I liked the difficulty of the levels but i think a clearer indicator that tells me i hit a key would have been great to understand quickly.

FM Escape by woona 2026-04-21T18:15:36Z

Very cool concept but yeah, as others have already said it's a bit hard :)

Warden of the Depths by Alex de la Cour 2026-04-21T08:59:52Z

I really had fun playing this, really hard but had me trying again and again. The Zombie timing really threw me off in the beginning, especially in that passage right after the whippy dude appears, i probably died to those zombies 30 times ^^.

Warden of the Depths by Alex de la Cour 2026-04-21T09:00:46Z

Also, I noticed that you Link does not say you have a web-build, i would recommend adding that here as people may look for web games specifically to play. Also the file you uploaded on here seems to be 404.

Ping and Panic by Kabura 2026-04-21T10:18:36Z

I had a lot of fun and it felt overall very polished. I do feel like it gets really hard after a while and the permanent upgrades are quite expensive.

Finsternis by Jo Bettaque 2026-04-21T13:28:29Z

Thank you guys for the very kind words! We will definitely be making a post-jam version that addresses some of the rough spots. Thanks for playing! :)

Finsternis by Jo Bettaque 2026-04-23T10:24:39Z

We pushed a post-jam update, you can find it at the List :)

It addresses some of the gameplay related issues with understandably enemy spawning etc.

Hope you enjoy!

Federal Bureau of Dance by drainkid 2026-04-21T10:52:10Z

Really unique and creative entry, Also works well, although in the beginning i got mobbed by aliens :D

Funnel World by andriybyelikov 2026-04-23T16:09:41Z

Unfortunatly, i wasn't able to figure out the puzzle without the hints on here, but cool look.

Mission: Stop Transmission by ZedGame 2026-04-21T09:16:01Z

All the little things to explore were lots of fun! Admin apparently does not need my help, i swear im a great programmer :(

Mixed Signals by lloydlobo 2026-04-23T08:48:47Z

Sound would have been great!

The Dark Spots in Space by babyfoodstudios 2026-04-23T10:16:09Z

Very cool and also very polished! The overall feel is great! First search I did "Potato", did not disappoint :D

DRAW!!! by Alpharius_003 2026-04-21T10:04:24Z

I think i may be a bit too old for this game, haha

Keep a stable connection by Pentagrammal 2026-04-21T18:09:18Z

As a person who is constantly on my PC, typing things, thank you for giving me a chance to at least feel good about it haha

ECHOMAZE by pipetto 2026-04-23T09:08:32Z

I really like the concept and the echo effect looks great, i also really like the switch from light on- light off in the beginning, really a nice intro, especially with the drawn pictures too.

Zap the Dead by Stepanoff 2026-04-21T02:41:46Z

Great Entry! This reminds me a lot of one of my past entries but with interesting mechanics and a good theme connection. I like it!

Ping to Survive by Mekuire 2026-04-23T09:02:19Z

Cool, nicely polished with good visuals, really good music and well working mechanics, good job. A little hard for me though^^

Fading Signal by RushB 2026-04-21T17:08:29Z

Great Atmosphere, Love the look aswell. After a while i got lost, maybe some subtle hints would be nice :)

RedFlag:SOS by ReiMi 2026-04-21T10:37:35Z

Very good job! Super creative and well made art, both visually and in terms of sound design. It was a bit hard for me to actually get the fries right and then luckily saw your explaination.

heartbeat by ouhiiiii 2026-04-21T15:14:23Z

Cool idea, i think it would be a bit more fun if it was a bit more strict, i was able to complete by very sporadically clicking.

Laser Beat by Gotlib 2026-04-21T10:24:56Z

I took a little while for me to understand what the objective was (Reading helps, lol) but one i did, i got an "aha" moment and had a lot of fun!

Sequence Drift by FuryOhFury 2026-04-23T08:47:05Z

Cool entry, i like the mechanic and it feels smooth aswell - i honestly did not quite understand the logic behind the distances, do they just switch? I was just trial-and-erroring my way through ^^

Mind War by Lschmdit 2026-04-23T09:12:53Z

Welcome to Ludum Dare and congrats on your first entry!

This one could have definitely used some additional polish and player feedback. I didn't experience and bugs so thats good :)

X-treme by jeidyy 2026-04-21T09:09:48Z

Unfortunately the Web version is hanging and itch.io is saying your game is quarantined so I cannot download it :O
