Coming from your shader post, I can see how the game mood is uplifted thanks to it! Very cool atmosphere and I loved the design of your tiny creatures <3 Had a good laugh at character's extended arms too! Too bad gravity is allowing you to float if you go downhill, however while it breaks the level design it allowed me to visit the miniworld you built in a different way, which was fun and appreciated <3

Well done!

Familiar Bones by barryrichter 2024-10-11T14:21:01Z ♥ 3

Oh... your submission is so cute! I felt it IN MY BONES no sorry but for real I thought it was quite beautiful and well done. Definitely reminded me of Undertale, I love the attention to details (showing corns as a hint where is the cornfield just in case, carving in the tree next to the river...)

I loved being able to carve the pumpkin, but my favorite image is this one. Capture d'écran 2024-10-11 161433.png

Thanks for your submission. Not all submissions are able to provide emotions, yours definitely did. well done <333

Great animations, drawings are cute and idea is fun! Well done <3

ECHOES OF THE GNOMES by meylish 2024-10-11T13:48:16Z ♥ 2

Super cool and creepy at the same time! Drawing is top notch, well done :D Resolution of embedded version on LD website is wrong, but... it somehow forces you to go fullscreen, which is the correct way to experience it, isn't it?! Ahah

WP YOU STARTLED ME OK GET MY VOTE DAMNED

GLOW by Fenix131113 2024-10-11T13:43:44Z ♥ 3

Stunning experience. Art is extremely good, atmosphere is on point! Some parts were a tiny bit frustrating but the gameplay calls for it, and is aside from that quite fun and explicit. Sound design was great too! Great job, great entry <333 NB: First time I tried to play on browser I was kinda stuck in a loop, like intro cutscene kept replaying. I just hit refresh on my browser and everything went smooth from there... Couldn't reproduce it.

Colony Clash by stormburpee 2024-10-10T19:30:33Z ♥ 4

I loved the vibe and I can't wait to see a multiplayer update to challenge friends! Visuals are fun, sounds effects are working super well to setup the vibe.

UPDATE: I checked your stream replay and I'm a bit curious about the art being so different from saturday afternoon to sunday morning and done off-stream. Did you use AI to generate it, or was it done by someone else? If it's AI it would be better to be upfront about it.

Tiny Survival Tactics(Puzzle) by Sphinx 2024-10-10T19:21:49Z ♥ 2

The mouth is a weird indicator for fishes and crustaceans but who am I to judge? Quite a fun and enticing puzzle game!!! It's smartly designed, great ideas :) Just like @vidarn I couldn't finish this level, it's a tough one. But it's engaging enough that I wanted to try! I wish there was more audio feedback when moving around pieces, but for a jam it's well-rounded, fun and working well. Great job <3

Keep It Up Kitty by richjbaron 2024-10-10T19:15:18Z ♥ 1

Great gameplay and mood! I enjoyed playing it, even if I'm clearly not good and never managed to reach more than 2000 T.T

Pixel art is my jam (uh uh), so I loved the cute cat and balloons. Well done <3

To be honest, I equally love and hate your game now because of how frustrating it is to shoot an arrow and have it inside the model but not considering a hit. Hero level at the end the amount of attempts I made where I shot 3 arrows to the first 3 targets on the left and it doesn't register a single hit was tough to digest!

However, of course, extremely satisfying gameplay and beautifully polished entry. It's hard to believe that was done in 3 days, even if I trust you!!! The fact that I got frustrated is just to me a great tell how hooked I was and how I refused to not get gold on each level. Everything feels awesome - 3d art is top notch, gameplay is awesome, levels are well designed.

All in all, the only thing I want to add is: I feel bad that I got to play to such a great minigame for free. You did an excellent job <3

Minibot Super Championship by pralista 2024-10-10T10:12:36Z ♥ 5

Oh gosh it's awesome. It's cute, art style is gorgeous, it's fun to experiment with and you achieved so much in 72h! Well done, I'm impressed!

Beyond Fear by Arsmih24 2024-10-10T10:06:48Z ♥ 2

Getting stuck on beetles is frustrating :( Glad I've read through the game page to know you can hide! Art style reminds me of Alice: Madness Returns by American McGee! That's a huge compliment for me. I loved it! Atmosphere is great, art is AWESOME, mood is just as creepy as it should be without being overwhelming. Excellent job <3

Head'quarters by YogurtTheHorse 2024-10-10T10:01:01Z ♥ 2

Great atmosphere and very cool animations! My dogs weren't too happy with barking sounds ahahah It gets - I feel - quite hard if you mess up once. Is the timer to finish a task different if you failed once?

Great gameloop, well done!!!

Antibody by Alopar 2024-10-10T09:49:20Z ♥ 4

Fun gameplay and while it's quite simple as a concept, animations are funny and the gamefeel is great. Music is a bit too short so the loop gets frustrating after 2-3 attempts.

Sammich by ColeSlaughter 2024-10-10T09:45:10Z ♥ 4

Quite impressive, fun top play, great intro, scoreboard... and it's DIFFICULT I cannot reach 4000 points!

Play With Me by gord10ahmet 2024-10-10T09:30:10Z ♥ 3

Woah great vibe! Spooky yet no jump scare, quite enjoyable. Minigames are working well, art served it perfectly. Quite a unique submission, well done! <3

Blobbies by tuism 2024-10-10T09:24:14Z ♥ 0

I lost because I tried to see what happens if you move a blob out :( Well done, it's a cool game, very addictive! Feels like a mix of suika game and a match-3 puzzle game :D

Tinysaurs by v1ris 2024-10-10T08:58:11Z ♥ 4

Very cool vibe! I believe locking the camera to a specific distance from the ground would help to force player to explore instead of fly up and click from a distance, but you want to see the cuty dinosaurs up close so it's fine! I'm curious I didn't see it mentioned in the assets, did you make the music? To me it helped tremendously to setup a mood, and felt straight out of a jrpg. Thought I was playing Chrono Trigger / Ragnarok Online, and I loved it :D

Maybe a kind of ending with a gigantic dino would be fun if you keep working on it <3

Thanks for the fun time I had!

Wish Town by Iwant_Pizza 2024-10-10T08:51:55Z ♥ 3

Great style and it's hard to do an horror game that works in a jam, props to you! Audio is creepy, visuals are creepy, I think what could be slightly adjusted is the overall rythm (the beginning you don't really get time to hear the parents disputing, and in the village you walk so slow it's off-putting). I still went to the end and I'm not disappointed I did, excellent job :D

King Nut by Abdul Zakkar 2024-10-10T08:31:02Z ♥ 2

Wooa got hooked big time, very cool gameplay loop! Well done <3 Two tiny things I would've loved: - Not have the quit button where you would expect a "back to game" button, bottom left of the upgrade menu. I quitted after wave 2 the first time, very frustrating! Just add a confirmation panel if you really want to let it here - A way to make sure you don't start a wave with not enough resources to send troops... but maybe that's intended! Felt bad finally upgrading to lose because I couldn't afford a single unit.

Excellent submission, really. Well done again and thanks for the fun provided <3

Save Nebuville by Blue Pin Studio 2024-10-10T08:14:55Z ♥ 3

It was fun! I think fire rate is a bit too strong, but it felt satisfying to go through waves :D

Fluto by pataya 2024-10-09T20:06:14Z ♥ 5

I made sure there was light everywhere so they are never in the dark again because musicians deserve a nice place to live <3 Thanks for this great time you provided, and well done! It's adorable and the day/night cycle was a nice surprise that was particularly fitting. Loved your tiny creatures <3

Nice concept!

Creature Stealer by Lussard Studio 2024-10-09T17:47:08Z ♥ 1

Great vibe, had a bit of a rough time with hitboxes at first but once I figured it out it was enjoyable to play :D

Tiny Rescue by LilieBagage 2024-10-09T17:42:41Z ♥ 4

Omg the voice acting and cute tinies are here to melt my heart. WELL DONE the art is awesome, very cohesive and well put together! I felt bad missing and leading them into water :( But then I improved and it was so satisfying! Thanks a lot for your submission <333

TINY PACK by xk_the_name 2024-10-08T21:45:15Z ♥ 1

In my top 3 of all submissions so far, and it's a compo. Wow. Excellent job, game is super fun, polished, it's clear what's expected. Very impressive work!

Candyween by Megurt 2024-10-08T21:34:18Z ♥ 2

Nice game, october games always get me but those kitties omg <3 Well done! Ambiance was great, I truly enjoyed it :D

Fry Quest by Togis 2024-10-08T21:26:27Z ♥ 3

I'm here for the puns. Please more potato puns. Also rule n'1 always bring gran patat on big adventures! Very cute submission and silly fun minigames, loved it <3

Laverino by Kirass 2024-10-08T21:19:48Z ♥ 16

That's an interesting game, a bit disappointed that there was nothing more scary or creepy than the nanny through the windows (or I missed it) and I got stuck on the toybox for a while which is too bad. However, nice minigames! Loved the plushies :)

Now looking at the comments it shows your team is having some weird behavior to try and up your game artificially. That's a bummer - I don't think your submission needs that to stand out :/ @burchyn is right. Not cool. Please stop doing that 🙏

Germinator by Arthurmtro 2024-10-08T21:09:19Z ♥ 2

Great submission! I instantly got the AHAHAH reference to risk of rain, and the sounds were super satisfying. Well done for that! I enjoyed playing it, however gameplay was 100% of "run clockwise, if a wave spawn on me run anticlockwise". Vampire survivor mitigate that will different builds and different enemies forcing you to move in a different direction, sometime dodge and sometime go through. Here the gameplay is more fast-paced so maybe an ability of some sort would've helped! Not a biggy and a real great game for a 72h jam, well done <3

Tiny Heads by DashVirus 2024-10-08T20:52:34Z ♥ 1

Making a puzzle game isn't what's difficult. Making a puzzle game that keeps on giving you interactions to discover and keeps you entertained and hooked for that long..? I'm VERY impressed. I LOVED your submission! I strongly disagree with people telling you hints for rules would be better. What's fun to me is how you first has no clue, then you think you get it, then discover after a few level that you only got half the idea and has to adapt your thinking. You did amazing on that part, I really feel like a more in-depth version would be quite a decent mobile game that would keep me hooked for a good amount of time!

Every Corner by shp 2024-10-08T20:28:35Z ♥ 1

It's funny because at first I thought "Yeah ok it's cool and it's in 3D but what's in it?" then I got hooked and felt like my mission was to finish it. Level design is great, I tried to skip parts but did not manage because the layout is smart and it really feels like you tested it well, camera and controls never failed me. Really great job, I had a very good time playing it!

Mioritza by Evghenia 2024-10-08T19:30:40Z ♥ 1

Woah the art is stunning. What tool did you use to draw? I'm not a fan of visual novels but I had to try anyway because I wanted to see more of it <3 Well done!

HAIRDIVERS by Surfa 2024-10-08T19:24:53Z ♥ 3

Cool ideas and cutscenes were on point, well done :D The difficulty was very different on my second try, but I always had the feeling timing was great on getting resupply / drops so props for that. Quite an enjoyable experience!

La Révolution Francheese: Bonamouse by MrBananaz 2024-10-08T19:18:51Z ♥ 7

Very cool! How did you make the mouse's tail? It's working quite well! I enjoyed figuring out how to fight rats. Well done fellow baguette enjoyer!

FLY HARD by Erlioniel 2024-10-08T17:47:36Z ♥ 5

What - the - hell did I just play ahahah It's chaotic, yet you don't really need an explanation to play. I had fun, but I'm confused, and surprised, and I started again to look at the details I missed the first time (why is there an entire stadium full of people cheering why is there a kind of twitch chat with people commenting...)

The only thing I think is a bit unfair is it's hard to catch fire thingy, when they appear you don't move fast enough to get it so it felt like luck. Not a real issue, just a possible improvement!

Neckmeat's Tiny Adventure by Jerem Watts 2024-10-08T17:39:47Z ♥ 1

Music and overall vibe was fun, character animation is great! Questions were fun, but I did not really get what's the objective and why the questions impacted stats the way it did.

Certain Drough by lazarche 2024-10-08T15:09:05Z ♥ 2

Cute game! I wish there was an HTML export to easily share it with friends :( I loved the vibe and how cute mushrooms are :D

Nootopia by Haoro 2024-10-08T15:07:02Z ♥ 1

Fun animations and sound effects <3 Cool mechanics I enjoyed it! Thanks for your submission has a great time :D

GOBLINATION by ma_th_eoo 2024-10-08T15:04:24Z ♥ 1

FR: Très chouette ! Ambiance très sympa et la 3D rends super bien. Je rejoint @n-o-x j'ai coupé le son à un moment pour pas devenir fou mais ca m'a pas empêché de m'amuser :D Bravo !

EN: Very nice! Fun vibes and 3D works quite well. I agree with another comment I decided to turn off audio after a bit to not have the sound get stuck in my head :D It was fun nonetheless, well done!!

Metaworld by TolMera 2024-10-08T14:46:30Z ♥ 3

EDIT: I don't think Ludum Dare is the right place to have this conversation, so I'm removing my comment. Apologies, whatever if we disagree!

Quite curious what you manage to build once it's all pieced together.

Please ping me if you do that! <3

Run Lilliputes by Niewrsis 2024-10-08T14:37:14Z ♥ 2

Hey, cool artstyle! I had no idea you could switch between different form before coming back for rating, and I completely missed the end of first level at first. Imho that could be made more obvious. Once I got it I managed to play a bit more! One thing that would help a lot is you easily get stuck on walls. I believe it might be because you used physics with colliders and it could be fixed by adding a PhysicsMaterial with no friction on walls, or on your character on the sides. I enjoyed it nonetheless, nice platforming <3

Critter Journal by germ 2024-10-08T14:19:25Z ♥ 3

I want more critters and funny animations! For real the klint got me I was starring at my screen when it moved :D Well done, very cool art!

Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-08T14:10:20Z ♥ 1

Great concept it's addictive somehow! I ended up cheating some levels by accumulating fleas on the left but art and music everything is fun :D Poor dog tho!

Gacharms by namnam 2024-10-08T14:02:35Z ♥ 1

Beautiful and super relaxing, the art is awesome. I love your art style, wp you got a new follower I want to see ALL YOUR WORK

The Mims by Curtis Pelissier 2024-10-08T13:54:29Z ♥ 3

Okay I usually am a bit worried of games that I have to download but considering we made super similar style choices I had to try! Gosh I love it. The mood, music, style, everything made me smile and was super satisfying. Thanks I had a ton of fun playing it <3

TinyWar by Iaroslavik 2024-10-08T12:20:55Z ♥ 3

Very fun and cute idea <3 I loved it <3

Tiny Creatures by Akarinn 2024-10-08T12:14:24Z ♥ 6

I agree with others the first wave is a tiny bit too fast. But overall it's a great submission, love the art <3

Destroy these tiny creatures, they are nasty and swarming by HangoverGames 2024-10-08T12:12:19Z ♥ 1

Simple idea but great execution, I liked that there is a story and a morale behind it, worms are super satisfying! One very small thing I thought was too bad is the fact it loops. I would've liked to see a "the end" screen.

Loved it <3

Kumamushi no Samurai by Codeman1010 2024-10-08T12:08:05Z ♥ 2

Cool atmosphere, quite hard to play because you instantly die and hitboxes seems a bit wacky but animations and sprites are great!

EX-TERMINATOR by steel465 2024-10-08T11:52:38Z ♥ 2

Ah yeah when you say really bad bugs you're not kidding I don't want to kill them I want to LEAVE INSTANTLY F THAT PAYCHECK!

Had fun, at first my tab was muted so I was confused why there was no sounds and thought it was lacking on that part but I'm just a dork :D Cool submission, props for making it! Big Vampire Survivor vibe. I wonder how many upgrades there is?

Evergrove by Chariot 2024-10-08T11:45:58Z ♥ 2

Cool idea, I would love to see it expended on itch! However I think for a jam I would've loved to see more things to discover rather, to better highlight the strong AI and procedural generation, rather than different appearances. Both are great and extremely well done tho <3 One small caveat I found is that you cannot unselect a tile once it's clicked? I clicked a tile super far by mistake and dwarfs kept trying to go there the first time I tried the game ^.^"

Overall, good job it was fun!!

Palipop by Junyi_Chen 2024-10-08T11:37:45Z ♥ 0

Tried to start the HTML version froze my computer and led to a blue screen... I recommend removing the embed version until it's fixed :(

Jurassic Justice: Miniature Mayhem by Mogmi 2024-10-08T11:32:51Z ♥ 3

DINOSAURS YES Loved the handmade drawings <3 While my dog didn't and I had to plug my headset, I really thought the raptors sound was fun! Well done I had fun playing it!

Happy Birthday Logan by imberny 2024-10-08T11:28:55Z ♥ 1

Very cool, vibe is on point. I felt bad for those kids :( I was sucked in it for a minute, well done!

Keyblob: Rush by Neez 2024-10-08T11:18:48Z ♥ 1

Another team of fellow 2.5D enjoyers! Waiting for a web version to test and rate, but waiting EAGERLY

AXIS：NIGHTMARE by Naes_Uh 2024-10-08T11:09:21Z ♥ 2

It looks very cool, however in the HTML version UI is not displayed (I tried to go fullscreen as well) so I couldn't really play without knowing what was my status. Sounds are great from what I managed to see, too bad there isn't an background music. (One could argue there isn't any background music in space, fair :D). That's too bad because it looks like it's fun and there is stuff to do.

I would gladly try and rate again if you manage to fix the web version!

Beetle Tower by Doot 2024-10-08T11:02:47Z ♥ 4

Very fun game to play! Art is stunning, animations are all so great I attached objects on insects when it was useless just to see them <3 Managed to reach wave 7 then got swarmed :( Impressive work well done!

Battle for the Pages by Andreas Roschal 2024-10-08T10:53:53Z ♥ 3

Oh it was fun!! I like auto battlers and it was fun trying to figure out what combination of animals are working well. At first I thought it was too easy, thanks for the speed up option, but then my animals started dying. So I stopped and considered how to go further and the difficulty ramp up was nice once it picked up! Well done I enjoyed my time playing it <3

Fusion Quest by Ntimi 2024-10-08T10:39:32Z ♥ 3

Interesting mechanic having to fusion blobs and switch character to progress :D I struggled a bit because I found it was hard to navigate in the level, especially because camera maybe was a bit too close - I would suggest moving it a bit further from characters but that's a very tiny issue! Well done it was fun :)

Morgi Rescue by starvingindie 2024-10-07T23:35:24Z ♥ 3

It feels like I'm copy pasting from others but what else can I tell, the art is AWESOME. Gameplay was cool I restarted a few times to see what happens on each path. Thanks for making it <3

MonkePok by LetsSnack 2024-10-07T23:32:23Z ♥ 4

Yooo good job! The art is impressive and the balancing is on point. Well done!!!

Gum, Dust, and Danger by ComicSans 2024-10-07T23:25:52Z ♥ 2

Damn Vacuum :D Cool idea, I think obstacles/platforms could be even more highlighted on the first two levels at least but once you get the idea it's pretty clear where you should go. I enjoyed the fact that you unlock capabilities and you get to use it instantly. Well done :)

Every Light Counts by BruceZoom 2024-10-07T23:20:45Z ♥ 2

Great use of the light - I was confused at first how to pass the first frog requiring you to switch off light. But then I figured it out and was able to complete it. It's pretty, well done!

Sublime Slime by kscerri 2024-10-07T23:16:23Z ♥ 0

Yeayyyy a tower defense!

It's cool to be able to put slimes everywhere! It works well. It's not obvious what's the difference between units, but it's nice that you're able to hold on space to place a bunch of slimes at once. Well done :)

CritterCarnage by MK-Dustan 2024-10-07T23:12:05Z ♥ 2

Thanks for the warning :D I liked the intro and the horde genre was a good idea <3
