LD45 — Start with nothing

DAY/ONE by DrunkardWolf 2019-10-10T22:45:10Z

I love the art, gameplay, and sound.

I do, however, find the pace quite sluggish and its very difficult to discern whom or what I'm clicking on or selected half of the time.

Avenge yourself by Vovin 2019-10-09T04:37:21Z

I think the biggest improvement would have been better pathfinding or whatever you need to keep the zombies together better, i lost more of them to their own ai than to soldiers.

otherwise fun time

Crash Landing by Sharks 2019-10-09T03:50:21Z

Maybe i was doing something wrong, but there was huge delay in the controls, and my battery drops from 6% to 1% once i use the laser as the instruction pops up. I just keep dying as i walk from the first discernible object to the next. I get the perspective of a dying robot, but constantly hopping up and down with a blurry screen and delayed controls did not demonstrate that in a pleasant way

LD45 : We Started With Nothing by Captain Nakou 2019-10-09T03:36:50Z

I liked the western theme to the game. I did find the big house to be somewhat irrelevant since it cost you more than adding a whole new house to gain less than you would get for adding a whole new house.

I Got Nothing by iojp 2019-10-09T05:07:39Z

fun and unique, but i was often flooded with only consonants. one round i had three V's and an X

AlphaFight by ldmd 2019-10-09T04:54:34Z

love the literal take and the power trip each level ends feeling like

CocoBall by blitzcloud 2019-10-10T22:30:29Z

Im happy to see an arcade-style sports game, as those are the best sports games. If I had a player 2 I'm confident this would be a blast of a little romp.

I see what your original intent with the theme WAS, but the final product doesn't really reflect the theme much at all except for the fact that your score starts at nothing, which is a bit of a stretch.

also, the graphics were pretty good and stylized for the short time frame given.

We've Got Nothing by Doey 2019-10-09T19:19:20Z

the second screen, with the wizard seemed pretty bugged out to me. i had three different problems on three different lives that prevented me from really getting the level stared, let alone completed.

but the humor and dialogue in the background was funny, as were the sound effects, but too much longer and it could have become quite annoying.

I also thought the pixel art was nice and the theme was used well.

Nothing by Life_Lich 2019-10-10T22:50:26Z

I was very interested in the idea, but, as another commenter pointed out, its much more of a single player puzzle card game-or at least felt like one (kinda like solitare)-instead of a deck builder.

ONE PIX by essarrgee 2019-10-09T18:48:01Z

the movement was a bit sluggish, and I dont think i ever saw the complete sprite of the protagonist.

an otherwise fun little action platformer with pleasant penguin sprites and a fun take on the theme

ZERO COAST by kurrik 2019-10-09T18:55:22Z

very fun for such a simple puzzle game. my only real issue is how reliant you become on RNG and how there is no clear distinction between when a platform is too high for its neighbor or warning that it is going to be

LD49 — Unstable

CYBER LANCER by juegoman 2021-10-08T04:05:57Z

aesthetic and audio were good, i just wish there was a death animation or something for when the ground falls out from under you. It would have helped convey what was happening better than suddenly jumping to the death screen my first run.

Cthulhu goes to Work by battlecoder 2021-10-05T23:37:50Z

the art was good and the gameplay fun, but it took me a while to start dropping food. Then it took another while to even realize that was costing me score. it needed some more clear distinction of high score and feedback or maybe an end goal to achieve.

Stronkey Kong by 100th_Coin 2021-10-06T00:30:25Z

id almost prefer three lives to losing 1000 points, getting in a cycle where you just keep dying but dont care because you made no progress anyways was a little frustrating, but the game overall was immaculate!

Unbalanced Brawl by yopox 2021-10-06T06:08:12Z

wow! This was great. I would want a fully realized game of this! the art and music were fantastic to match as well!

Formula Dare by Taffaz 2021-10-06T06:27:54Z

I thought I was figuring it out, then I lost... I think?

Senatus by Matthieu Riboulot 2021-10-05T23:47:07Z

all I had to do was really just keep going the same path, but the art,music, and sounds were great!

and the victory screen had tasteful boobage +1

Green Leaf and the Garbage Truck by Cookie_CHR 2021-10-06T00:04:24Z

music really stood out above the rest of the game

Witch of the Warren by krummja 2021-10-06T00:58:47Z

either I'm dumb and cant figure out how to deduce any hints there are as to what ingredients to mix, the game is actually just guess and check, or the instructions were in the opening story that I ended up skipping because the text scroll was WAY too slow

but I love bunnies +1

Pasinko by Rashcan 2021-10-05T23:59:52Z

it might just be my browser, but the web version had some issues with full screening and didnt't register my key presses, only my clicks.

but i watched the gameplay of the guy above me and gave it a fair rating off his gameplay.

Gods And Towers by Nerisma 2021-10-08T04:11:04Z

I love a lot about this...too bad I had nobody to play with

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Seven Seconds to Midnight by HitchH1k3r 2022-04-09T01:19:47Z

it took me a while to get the hang of, but then it really opened up!

Battle Cards by sirikan 2022-04-05T04:56:35Z

challenge mostly feels up to luck, but it was fun and interesting nonetheless!

The Hill I Die On by DevVex 2022-04-05T04:46:59Z

art, sound, and simplistic controls are all good, but I didn't feel like I was ever going to actually die on that hill after all.

Disaster Waiting by mimusangel 2022-04-05T04:39:16Z

I'll always appreciate a game with big-breasted moaning angel fountains.

game was fun, I encountered an odd glitch when placing a fountain in a tornado.

Heaven Fallen by Lighty_the_Light 2022-04-05T05:22:12Z

took a moment to understand what i was doing, but I did like it after I got it

Legman's Breakout by Spice Cabinet 2022-04-05T05:09:51Z

i had plenty of fun and really like the inclusion of a leaderboard.

I was going for the top but the ball got stuck in a horizontal limbo where it wasn't ascending or descending anymore

Mythical Mediator by Jahwffrey 2022-04-05T18:57:16Z

@adrien-tremblay when the god has a coin icon, you get godly gold for completing the task

Mythical Mediator by Jahwffrey 2022-04-05T18:57:27Z

@adrien-tremblay when the god has a coin icon, visit them. You get godly gold for completing those tasks

Ultimate Tennis Championship 2K22 by hajpappan 2022-04-05T20:14:44Z

making the top border a death zone makes it a lot harder to survive once you have a shift from a low paddle to a high paddle, but a fun yet simple experience!

Operation Tower Defense by cornfab 2022-04-05T20:28:52Z

the presentation was great! I just wish there was some sort of music to listen to rather than just the beeping. I appreciate the option to turn it off though!

LD53 — Delivery

Terror in transit by tinykidtoo 2023-05-12T01:50:34Z

fun stealth game for a compo. wish it had the third level!

Contraband Critters: A Tactical Transporter by makerart 2023-05-12T02:13:37Z

I always like autochess style games, but i felt pretty powerless given none of our attacks actually hurt the bad guys

But im also a sucker for mecha bunnies

KissKiss Delivery by Jammin 2023-05-12T02:19:58Z

cute, but the game just saw any person as the answer to all

Olympus Food Delivery by SolidHinken 2023-05-12T02:00:03Z

fun game, but i wish there was audio. maybe it was just me, but i couldn't hear anything

Night Rider by The1 2023-05-12T01:34:22Z

after the first time i collided with a wall, i could suddenly just drive through them

CURSED DE-LIVERY 💀 by Usenrame 2023-05-12T01:27:43Z

Either this was a puzzle I didn't put the time in to finish, or this is a great entry in the Desert Bus game genre

LD55 — Summoning

Board to Death by LandoSystems 2024-04-23T02:57:50Z

very fun! I wish I could play two player against my friends!

Kalòmancer by BinarySpark 2024-04-19T07:53:54Z

i had my own cheesy strat set, and it coasted me through until the final level. that is where it became quite tough, but after bashing my head against the wall and playing with luck of the draw, i was able to get it.

I really liked this game, in fact i was trying to pitch my team to do a card battler too, but i was outvoted.

Detective of the Dead: Ghoulish Adventures at Erstwhile Manor by Jahwffrey 2024-04-16T14:50:07Z

@kerosuta You unlock the ability to attack after the first boss

Until then, you have to navigate as a pacifist

Detective of the Dead: Ghoulish Adventures at Erstwhile Manor by Jahwffrey 2024-04-16T21:25:11Z

@beebster-games

There is a coffin in the room that you pick up and throw to beat him.

Mage Summoner on Royal Duel by TentacleDream 2024-04-23T03:16:02Z

This gave me nostalgic 2000's era flash game vibes.

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Tiny Creatures Creator by jk5000 2024-10-12T03:16:37Z

Im glad I stayed for the long haul. Technical support really came through

Azulina's Night of Sprites and Fright by ryusui 2024-10-15T04:19:26Z

This is my biggest sleeper hit of this jam so far

Very fun, i liked the decision to make a horror game, and...blue fairy foxgirl

Squirrel puncher by eerongal 2024-10-15T04:36:11Z

Well that was nuts! -Dr. BuffnStuff

Lice To Meet You by ruben01 2024-10-12T03:59:20Z

fun idea, wish there was more of an objective beyond just getting the longest jump

Lucky Lefty Loves Lofty Little Lodges by TheBookSnail 2024-10-12T03:48:53Z

Fun little game, but It seemed like there was no difficulty curve until the final level where suddenly all forecasts are happening at once without warning

Cheer Pinball by hakimallazi 2024-10-15T03:35:41Z

what an odd culture these orange men live in

Frog Force: Jungle Invasion by ScrivenerOfLight 2024-10-15T03:27:16Z

the second level just straight put you right into the challenge of it, but it was a fun puzzle game

Espionausage: Wiener Takes All by IonBingo 2024-10-12T03:30:28Z

This was an otherwise really great game with fantastic graphics just marred down by how it just kept freezing and closing out of nowhere every time I lost. It felt like the game just wasn't working correctly the whole time

Turtle Beach by Oinkle 2024-10-12T03:20:44Z

I think it encapsulates the theme very well as you are helpless by way of being so small.

char chase by oysterhey 2024-10-15T03:52:33Z

so charming and fun

I wish I had some idea of the values of letters before the end of the round

Minisaur Sanctuary by Aleux 2024-10-15T03:00:10Z

I love the chill setting and the charmingly appealing graphics

LD57 — Depths

Freak Waves by Rewzu 2025-04-17T03:54:21Z

I almost made it to a full km.

That's like halfway to the other side of the Atlantic. I almost made it!

But i did like the ocean physics and the feeling of riding the massive waves.

Fishing the Depths by zerocomms 2025-04-12T04:21:55Z

sometimes simplicity is just the way to go

Metaspace II: The Long Division by Jahwffrey 2025-04-23T19:51:59Z

@robobarbie @braktheman @ryusui

I’d like to thank you for being returning players of our silly little games!

We all always look forward to seeing who recognizes us from previous jams. It’s one of our favorite parts of the whole process.

Diggity Diggity Diggity (Dash) by DaveCo 2025-04-17T04:25:41Z

There is a very fun system laid out here.

With a bit more ways to influence the racing, like burying upgrades to encourage digging or speed boosts, and some more dynamic course design, this could be a well fleshed out game with a lot of gameplay depth (pun somewhat intended)

Fresh Catch! by DeadlierTaco 2025-04-12T03:08:35Z

The merchant's head growing randomly caught me off guard

Sewer Shift by Saryah 2025-04-17T04:15:29Z

An interesting experience. I do wish there was a "game" or challenge more than just walking and shoveling boulders. I thought the giant rat would kill me, but it didn't.

I liked the voice acting and the silly dialogue to set the mood of the game.

Dante's Mini-Golf by braktheman 2025-04-12T04:13:32Z

My friends and I always appreciate a golf game, but I can only fall from level 4 to 1 so many times before I have to stop.

I also like the graphics, sound, and setting.

Steel Coffin by ChrisBeck 2025-04-17T04:49:38Z

one of the most in-depth games I have played so far this jam!

Unfortunately, the run where I finally knew what exactly I was doing had the sub going a lot slower for some reason and ended with the game freezing on me.

Below by Regmont 2025-04-17T03:24:37Z

i liked the visuals and the atmosphere, but I had little in the way of guidance for what to do or how

Are you smarter than a fisherman? by Gerswick 2025-04-12T03:25:05Z

A nice and simple experience, but I wasn't able to tell the fakes apart well enough even after I thought I did.

That could very well be a me problem given that I did not play it enough to truly differentiate them.

Arctic Hell by Fayad 2025-04-12T03:35:39Z

Great audio, but the gaps between every platform led to many unfair feeling deaths before the speed picks up

Blurred Escape by pizzabudet420 2025-04-12T03:54:38Z

great atmosphere, but Iam completely gave up on trying to find the third number. I tried forcing it with the two obvious numbers, but I still couldn't get anywhere.

If there was a hint on the tile, it completely flew over my head. I guess I'm the dumb one since other people seemed to find it with less hassle.

using depth perception was a great use of the otherwise underwhelming theme of "depth" but I could not see what role it played in any of the puzzles beyond limiting the player's vison

LD58 — Collector

Suck! It! Up! by Hjalte 2025-10-07T04:04:47Z

Very fun gameplay loop, and i liked the two gameplay scenes affecting each other.

It's the classic addicting gameplay of get stuff to make money to better make stuff!

Star Collector by boddiul 2025-10-14T02:39:05Z

like a much more calming version of the t-rex game

Holo Friends by ColeSlaughter 2025-10-07T04:22:47Z

Love the artwork and style!

It eventually became easy once money stopped being a major problem.

I really wish there were more packs to open/cards to get

Halloween Knight by Artur Hawkwing 2025-10-07T03:38:08Z

I can always respect a boss fight in a jam game!

I do wish the attack hitbox were bigger or clearer. It felt impossible to hit the bats and uncertain when hitting the boss.

Loot Lagoon by ChuChuGeralt 2025-10-14T03:43:54Z

Very fun Tycoon style game. Boat was fun at its best upgrade

Loaded Dice by Phoenix Fireflower 2025-10-14T02:34:47Z

Its like Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers (Or Balatro) but in dice form.

A lot of replayability for a jam game!

Blood and Bounty by Torami 2025-10-14T03:23:29Z

Love a good spaghetti western!

Graphics were very pleasant and soundtrack was very fitting.

It did get to be too easy once I was fully upgraded and did not know how many levels were left

Cryptozootography by Jahwffrey 2025-10-14T14:08:35Z

@local-minimum Thank you for your full raw reaction! It is such a rare treat to see this from people.

Also, you can zoom in with the right mouse button. It’s more like an FPS iron sight zoom than a scroll/toggle.

Twin Suns - Full Co-op by WobbleBlocks 2025-10-14T01:15:35Z

Being able to play a game online with my friends is immediate top score for fun.

And to host a room while playing in browser like that is also super impressive for a jam game!

One of my favorites so far for the experience!

Hammer & Horde by Paroxysmal 2025-10-14T01:34:53Z

I really liked the OG GameBoy style!

The weight/health mechanic could really lead this to a really interesting full game.

The Raven Job by MeowMeowLitClub 2025-10-14T01:23:04Z

Super cute style, premise, and theme!

To The End Of Time by Kepsert 2025-10-07T02:38:41Z

Very nice visuals and an intense but fun game loop.

I just wish I had a better controller than my keyboard. I would have been a lot better!

BirbDex by Fiordarancio 2025-10-07T03:44:01Z

I absolutely adore this as a bird owner!

I could only whistle like a cockatiel though, no other buttons/combos seemed to make any other noise. How do I mimic the other birds?

Canned by Nanaschi1984 2025-10-14T02:13:07Z

What a twist ending!

There really was something with the going insane inner dialogue

Pactbound by Derly 2025-10-07T02:58:27Z

I liked the style and wish the text were just a bit more legible.

As far as the balance, I have the same to say as the other comments and see you are already planning for that.

EVERYTHING: The Trading Card Game by Leophyte 2025-10-07T03:51:53Z

I love the variety of art and humor!

There is a conflicting desire to read the cards but also to just keep buying and selling faster than I can.

Cursed Labyrinth by Melomaner 2025-10-07T03:23:05Z

Graphics were great!

The pure randomness of levels and spawns meant I did a bunch of levels without progress, either because the spawns were all things I already had or the dungeon was only one and a half rooms.

HUEVO by Mikita gancharou 2025-10-07T04:29:43Z

Reminds me of Harvest Moon from my childhood

The Skitter Kit by surfacedfox 2025-10-07T03:28:40Z

The web build sadly isn't letting in beyond the loading screen. I tried a different browser and encountered the same problem.

It's sad too, because this game looks so adorable!

Violet's Home by l6ria 2025-10-07T02:46:28Z

Super cute!

The audio loop could have been a bit longer, and text boxes could have been faster/player-controlled.

LD59 — Signal

signOS by Wendel Scardua 2026-04-28T04:39:00Z

really fun puzzle game. Though, I found the final level to be super easy compared to the one before it.

Out There by GuitarBro 2026-04-28T03:31:06Z

the camera being so shaky was a great immersion but just made movement really hard to focus with.

NAOS 750 AM by niterich 2026-04-28T03:50:24Z

Love that solemn yet peaceful feeling of driving alone at night in the desert.

Manual Launch Control by jka 2026-04-28T03:22:14Z

This was the best implementation of the "signal" theme. Great visuals and fun gameplay.

Crat by deadroach 2026-04-28T03:44:52Z

Good Crat!

Fission Quest by Jahwffrey 2026-04-26T06:13:41Z

@deadroach thank you for the live commentary lp.

You got so close to everything, you were just missing the engineer who was upstairs in the barn and then you would have had all the pieces to beat this iteration of the game.

We appreciate the honest feedback, but we mostly just love seeing people enjoy our schmaltz.

Some things you mentioned (like guidance arrows and labels for items) had been brought up in development, but they couldn’t be focused on as the cutting floor got filled in the final stretch.

Cableman [a rhythm game] by rucksack 2026-05-05T03:53:24Z

I played the postjam version, but I got glitched where my character couldn't move at all and only got shocked regardless of rhythm.

But i did still enjoy it very much!

Seeking The Signal by Jesse Martin 2026-04-28T04:52:48Z

great atmosphere! I do wish this guy had some sense of hurry, I was able to multitask while i waited for him to walk from A to B.

Sine Factory by oxnh 2026-04-28T03:43:04Z

I sure felt dumb trying to figure out how it works, but once I did I then felt dumb trying to solve some of the mid to later puzzles.

White Static by LianaAvk 2026-04-28T02:50:58Z

The dialogue stopped being English again once the prologue finished, but the main character had a nice design!

Funnel World by andriybyelikov 2026-05-05T02:40:21Z

I liked the visual style and shadowing.

SILENTIUM by Shram 2026-05-05T03:40:01Z

I wish either I knew way earlier that I did not need to check every nook and cranny for cassettes. That was a real fun and somber, in a mellow way, experience. I liked the detailed car control, the variety of cassettes to find, and the overall vibe of the setting.

THE HORSE WE MADE by cesta 2026-05-05T03:40:36Z

this was a series of self-actualization

Polar Expedition by Saumchick 2026-04-28T02:41:55Z

Was definitely surprised by the UFO jumpscare, but it gave a fun sense of urgency in the mission
