LD55 — Summoning (15)

A bird dabbles in Source-Destination summoning by Crow Person Justin 2024-04-19T01:42:44Z ♥ 0

Hooray, another Puzzlescript game! My game is made in Puzzlescript too :)

This game is awesome. It's challenging but solvable. I got stuck on the desync level for a while and had to go eat dinner and come back to it. As soon as I came back, I solved it. I love that "aha" feeling when the solution finally clicks, and this game captures that beautifully.

Child of Ruin by Rick Williams 2024-04-18T16:28:41Z ♥ 11

Wow! This game feels like it was made over the course of a year by a whole game studio. Getting 40ish people to work seamlessly together is no easy feat. I wonder if anyone worked as a project manager!

The graphics, the music, the gameplay, the scenery, the cutscenes, the story, it's all incredible. Kudos.

I think I ran into a bug during combat, though. It looks like these boxes along the bottom are supposed to have something in them, but they were blank. So I got pretty confused. Screenshot 2024-04-18 at 9.24.31 AM.png

Unholy Cow by oligue 2024-04-18T16:15:13Z ♥ 2

This was fun! I got a high score of 598. I liked having to switch between the weapons and balance the cooldowns. I noticed the helper guys went out to collect bones so I tried to let the enemies die closer to the middle to make it easier for them. Also the techno music that plays when you use the laser is a nice touch.

The Cultivator’s Conjuring Compendium by thormoth 2024-04-18T16:05:45Z ♥ 3

I love it! It reminds me of Slay the Spire. I liked the variety of things you could do with the cards. I think I ran into a bug, though. After I beat the first plant, the text on the cards disappeared?

The Chosen One by hulien22 2024-04-18T15:58:47Z ♥ 2

This was great! I was cheering for my chosen one the entire time. It took me a little while to realize that I had to drop things from my inventory for them to pick up, but once I got that it was a lot of fun. I think this could work really well as a multiplayer battle royale game, too.

Sheep Tunes by kazuo256 2024-04-17T21:27:14Z ♥ 8

The music combinations are super cool, I love it! Plus the graphics and the overall mood is awesome. On the one hand it's confusing that the cards have no visual indication of what they'll do or sound like but it is a nice stylistic choice. The cards that just have illustrations remind me of the board game Dixit. Anyway this game is awesome, good job!

Chicken Slayground by Zettelkasten 2024-04-17T02:52:04Z ♥ 4

So cute!

Bring Forth The Master by Justin Pena 2024-04-16T18:30:06Z ♥ 4

I loved the vibes. Very spooky atmosphere. All the rooms being nearly identical makes it feel liminal, like you're lost in the backrooms. The pixel screen effect helps too in a way that I can't quite describe. I appreciated the noise that plays while you're being chased. I don't have to keep turning around to see if they're still behind me. The start screen music is very spooky and cool. I wish it played during gameplay at some point. I don't usually like stealth games but I kept going for longer with this one because of the atmosphere. Good job!

Cat and Box by benpigchu 2024-04-16T17:59:41Z ♥ 1

I love it! This type of puzzle game is my favorite. The levels are really thoughtfully designed so that you have that satisfying "aha" moment to figure out the twist. My game is also a Sokoban-like if you want to check it out too!

The Unlikely Messenger by T90. 2024-04-16T17:16:41Z ♥ 3

I liked: - The intro cutscene holy cow! It's like watching a movie. I can tell a lot of time and effort went into this. - The story idea around the summoning is very cool. I won't spoil it but I loved the reveal of who they summoned. - The music is awesome.

I didn't like: - The gameplay wasn't particularly original. There's a lot more you could add to it but I can see that you ran out of time. Maybe level two will improve on the formula. I would love to play more and see where you take it! - I was disappointed to learn that the character portraits and backgrounds and even the music were produced by AI. I know they're allowed, and it's a game jam so you should use all the tools at your disposal, but in this case I feel like they overshadowed the rest of it somewhat.

Zauberkraut by Batsphemy 2024-04-16T16:55:02Z ♥ 0

I liked: - The demons are so cute! I especially like the little ghost with scissors and then the bigger ghost with garden shears. Plus the wizard in the corner looking confusedly at the spellbook is cute too. - The theme was great. No jobs are hiring? Time to do some gardening. - I liked the particle effects when you do the summoning.

I didn't like: - The summoning music cuts in over top of the background music and is a little jarring, but I guess that adds to the demonic feeling. - The gameplay is too easy... There wasn't any challenge, it was just copying the patterns onto the board, one at a time. Maybe one idea is that some of the patterns could overlap, so you have to figure out the correct order to do the summoning.

Summoning for Hungry Wizards by TheMoonrise 2024-04-16T03:52:36Z ♥ 1

I'm so confused! This game is awesome and I love the aesthetic and the idea and and the graphics and the gameplay and the food characters. I just wish there was a bit more help with how summoning each of the ingredients works. I saw the helper pages but they weren't enough for me to figure it out

Summoner's Rifft by matid90 2024-04-16T03:22:44Z ♥ 3

Dang, this game rules. It's hard, though. I love the concept: maybe the one of the skeletons in the necromancer's horde doesn't want to fight for him anymore!

Good Night! Sleep with the Demon! by edugpinheiro 2024-04-16T01:54:05Z ♥ 3

I wish I could summon a sleep demon for real! I somehow didn't notice the horrifying (yet somehow cute) worm demon that was consumes the sheep until I played it a second time. I agree that the screen was small on the itch page, it would be nice to make it bigger.

Siela by Gnum_ 2024-04-16T01:47:57Z ♥ 9

This game is a vibe. The gameplay felt a little lacking; I wish there was more to do or enemies or something, but I loved the ambience and mood. So spooky!

LD53 — Delivery (8)

Interstellar Hauler by WobbleBlocks 2023-05-05T21:09:03Z ♥ 3

This game is so chaotic and absurd I love it 🤣. I like the Star Wars references!

Hermes by UZUZ 2023-05-04T00:14:09Z ♥ 4

I love the art and character design!

Office Soul Inc. by Xenosis 2023-05-03T20:52:32Z ♥ 2

It took me a little while to understand wall jumping, I think that could have been explained better. The gameplay doesn't have that much going on but the overall mood, graphics, music, and story are great. Nice job!

Devil's Corp by Neobit 2023-05-03T20:47:24Z ♥ 4

This is great stuff. The cutscenes are incredible, and the game feel is top notch! I'm ashamed to admit that I spent a little too much time avoiding the flames instead of collecting them. I thought they would hurt me. Anyway, congrats on this fantastic submission! 😈

Rain On Their Parade! by TomasPraestholm 2023-05-03T20:32:36Z ♥ 3

The vibes are immaculate. What a charming game. Graphics, music, mood, gameplay, everything. Very impressive! Kudos to the team. ☁️🌧️☔️

Astro Chano's Delivery by Mateo Fabbri 2023-05-03T20:08:35Z ♥ 5

Agreed with other commenters about the controls being difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of it, it's really rewarding. Kudos to the team! 🚀📦

Honey BZZZness by kazuo256 2023-05-03T19:53:59Z ♥ 4

This is an awesome take on a clicker game. I love the visual style, the tech tree, and the music. "Flight of the Bumblebee" was a great choice for the music. I think I made too many worker bees, because they turned all my honey into jelly before I could spend it on upgrades!

Don't get fired! by Zettelkasten 2023-05-03T19:42:10Z ♥ 2

I love this! It's hilarious, especially the sound effects. I failed on my first playthrough but at least Monica wanted to get a drink with me, which is nice. Who needs this job anyway?

LD52 — Harvest (17)

Hare Runner by Crychair 2023-01-09T22:41:59Z ♥ 6

The voice acting is incredible. "In the year twenty-eighty-twelve...teen" 🤣. This whole game is dripping with style. I'm really bad at it, though! My high score is 121892.

Grave Harvest by Nartyna 2023-01-09T22:30:11Z ♥ 8

I love the spooky Halloween vibes of this game. Also some of the text was hilarious, particularly on the graves and the things the ghosts were saying. Great job!

7 days to harvest by fallcresthero 2023-01-09T22:17:14Z ♥ 6

I thought the level where you are drunk was hilarious. I assumed the inverted controls were on purpose and made it that much harder, but I persevered and managed to beat it. Also I thought the way the end credits are underneath the crops was very creative!

Journey of the flowers by tthe 2023-01-09T21:35:03Z ♥ 3

This game is super chill. I love the vibes. It's a little confusing, but I think figuring out the rules is part of the game!

Harvest Party by WyGuyDev 2023-01-09T21:18:17Z ♥ 3

This game is so funny 🤣. These darn eggs keep rolling away from me while I try to pick them up!

URSA MAIOR by ekaktusz 2023-01-09T21:10:48Z ♥ 2

This game is hilarious and awesome. It's got some Katamari Damacy vibes and I am here for it.

Golden Harvest by ayperosia 2023-01-09T20:06:31Z ♥ 4

I love this game but it is hard! When I come back to the cave the second time, the dragon is already halfway awake?! Also I managed to get negative gold by buying the tinfoil hat and a meal at the same time 🤣

The Hunt for the Legendary Lobster by Ry-for 2023-01-09T19:52:15Z ♥ 4

I absolutely love the vibes of this. When that sax kicks in, though 😍

Red Harvester by Forgin Bits 2023-01-09T19:25:35Z ♥ 1

I love the vibe of this! The little robot that could.

Apples of Agony by Joey Shipley 2023-01-09T19:17:41Z ♥ 2

Haha my mouse skills are not up to par for this. I need to practice catching those fruits!

Click On Fish by Pomo 2023-01-09T19:12:20Z ♥ 1

This game is funny 🤣 I played on the web version and I think the worse graphics made it harder

Pointless Harvest by WouterK12 2023-01-09T19:05:21Z ♥ 3

OMG I love the graphics! Did you make all this in 2 days?? I can't believe it. It's amazing.

Harvest or Die by Ninnec 2023-01-09T18:26:39Z ♥ 1

I agree with other commenters that it took some time to figure out what was going on. But once you get it, that this is a very interesting strategic puzzle game! I kept harvesting the same big crop group that I was standing on, so I was surrounded by holes and instantly died after one step 🤣

Farm On Wheels by Igor Minenko 2023-01-09T18:14:07Z ♥ 2

The core gameplay loop was fun at first but started getting stale after a few minutes. Some more varied encounters would be nice. I love the post-apocalyptic farm-on-wheels aesthetic!

Hooked (Online) by Becher 2023-01-09T17:56:20Z ♥ 1

I absolutely love the design of the robot fishermen! The game doesn't seem to work at the moment... I have $9999 but I can't do anything. Can't wait to see how it turns out when it's finished!

Harvesting Hustle by AngryRubberDucky 2023-01-08T21:32:49Z ♥ 4

It took me a while to figure out what I'm supposed to do! Some more instructions would be nice. This is what I eventually figured out: - The number at the top is how much wheat you are holding. When you are holding 0 and you have none planted, the game immediately ends. - If you step on a planted wheat before it's fully matured, it is destroyed and you get nothing back. - Every 5 seconds, you lose one wheat that you were holding.

Once I understood how to play, I had fun! I managed to get up to 30 sheep.

Mimi's Challenge by epb9000 2023-01-08T21:15:26Z ♥ 1

I loved the Chip's Challenge vibe! I struggled a little with the controls -- sometimes the Mimi would move twice when I tapped once, and sometimes she wouldn't move at all. But otherwise I had fun!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop (15)

Infinite Nightmares by Alpasyon007 2020-10-08T18:53:43Z ♥ 4

Wow this game is so creepy. If your goal was to freak me out and scare me, you have succeeded. Bravo.

Curse of Huh by JagsyFox 2020-10-08T18:35:47Z ♥ 3

I love this sort of puzzle game. I especially liked making a conga line with my time clones and watching us all work in tandem while not touching each other. I got really far into it but then accidentally touched myself and had to start all over, which made me sad :( lol. Two thumbs up!

Unholy Echo by Dizzy 2020-10-08T18:23:31Z ♥ 5

This was a fun little puzzle to figure out! It fits the theme really well.

Bublik by Wolfrug 2020-10-08T18:03:16Z ♥ 3

I adore the cute little robot dog character! Also the 3d cylinder effect when you move left and right is really neat. Going around the ship and performing tasks reminds me of Among Us, was it inspired by that? I get the feeling there is an impostor on this ship... So far I haven't managed to find anything out of the ordinary except a button to turn off gravity, and a machine that has no tasks. It might be better to have some interesting stuff happen sooner, or be easier to find? Or maybe I'm just bad at finding it XD

Pre Call by zimennik 2020-10-08T17:17:27Z ♥ 4

I absolutely adore the style and aesthetic of this game. Incredible stuff. Two thumbs up!

Sea Shawty by matthewi 2020-10-08T17:14:13Z ♥ 2

This game is hilarious. I love the style. It took me a little while to figure out what to do at first but then I got into it. Two thumbs up!

Cornowlius' Path by Lowkey Interactive 2020-10-08T17:04:47Z ♥ 6

Wow, the graphics are stunning! Also the music is a jam. I am addicted, I really want to get to the next sector. I'm not very good though, so far I've only gotten to sector 2. I love how you fall directly from your previous run into the next run seamlessly. This is one of those games that makes me say "Just one more try" dozens of times over and over again. Two thumbs up!

Fault Outcome by VPhyre 2020-10-08T16:03:49Z ♥ 1

Wow I love the story! It really pulls you in :)

AUTOLOOP by Kpedatte 2020-10-08T15:53:24Z ♥ 1

The aesthetics and graphics look extremely cool and I really want to try it! But I am on a Mac :( any chance there can be a web or Mac version?

Rat Inc by Wouter Deferme 2020-10-08T15:50:00Z ♥ 4

Haha this game is hilarious. And it fits the theme perfectly. Two thumbs up

Another One Loops the Dust by limered 2020-10-06T15:39:43Z ♥ 3

OMG, why is there so much dust? I was sneezing at the screen while playing. You need a dust cover for your record player! Also, I kept bumping into the needle and making the song start over... But that jam at the end made it all worth it.

Time Saver by Daniikk1012 2020-10-06T15:25:42Z ♥ 3

Good stuff! I love the aesthetic and the way the enemies fall apart into dust when you kill them. The mechanic of time being broken is intriguing

Need More Space by wheatleyscience 2020-10-06T14:55:41Z ♥ 6

Very cute and fun idea! I adore the astronaut guy. Currently stuck on level 3 with the monsters. They keep sneaking up on me! I need to come up with a better strategy... P.S. When you put a crystal in the ship it sounds exactly like my microwave 🤣

Hyperloop hell by Aterlamia 2020-10-06T14:44:33Z ♥ 2

I felt like I was the hero in an action movie!

Loopoban by Joel Fox 2020-10-05T22:51:27Z ♥ 0

This is my jam. A Zachlike sokoban game in PuzzleScript. Have some points.

LD46 — Keep it alive (19)

SOS STARSHIP F1 by Tim Eriksen 2020-04-21T04:16:54Z ♥ 1

I got lost in my shuttle in the empty black depth of space. I went beyond the stars. My oxygen dwindled ever-so-slowly as I reached a point where the familiar and friendly points of light were no longer there to guide me. I panicked. I did not think I would ever make it back. But then, I came up with a plan. I would find the Corner of Space. I started at the vertical edge of space, with stars on the left, and empty nothingness on the right. I followed this like a river bank, until I found the horizontal edge of space. These edges met, at The Corner. From here, a straight shot at a perfect diagonal led my directly back to my ship. The plan worked. I was saved. My journey could continue.

I did not make it home, but I did have a good time.

Egglicious! by miningape 2020-04-20T21:57:43Z ♥ 1

Having a skeleton start attacking you right away was exciting. Start out with a bang. It makes the game feel like there are distinct phases:

Phase 1) Danger! Quick, find somewhere to hide and survive!

Phase 2) Oh no, there are more skeletons. A little bit more calm, but we have to be alert and safe.

Phase 3) I am confident now. There are more skeletons out there, and my egg and I will hunt them all down one by one.

Soul Cube by nikor 2020-04-20T20:45:19Z ♥ 1

I love this! Would be awesome if you could see a score of how long you've been alive and how many other players you've eliminated.

Keep Coron Alive by Qux 2020-04-20T20:38:17Z ♥ 0

This game is a little too real! The lockdown level is really hard. Also it took me a while to get past the first level because my one infected person never came into contact with anyone else.

Don't Mind Me! by Paul Merkamp 2020-04-20T20:24:04Z ♥ 1

I love the blocky graphics style, and writing the "SPACEBAR", "E" controls on the ground at the beginning was a nice touch. Great job overall!

Its Alive! by automatonvx 2020-04-20T19:53:54Z ♥ 1

I loved this. I am a sucker for puzzle platformers, and this was well-executed. Great job! I like how you are trying to help her but she won't hesitate to rip you apart if you get too close. It's funny that you are keeping a zombie alive, since it's technically undead...

Flytrap Fishing by maxdmg 2020-04-20T19:45:19Z ♥ 1

Funny game! It's pretty hard though. I only managed to feed it 4 items. I noticed that your link says the game is for Windows, but it plays just fine on my Mac.

Save Jeremy! by Uppitydonkey57 2020-04-20T19:34:06Z ♥ 2

Funny game! I like it when he turns into a skeleton and the meteors push him around XD

ALL CAPS: The Incident at Puppy Canyon by KyMakesGames 2020-04-20T05:36:47Z ♥ 2

It turns out I can't type "Plausible Deniability" quickly if my life depends on it!

BBYS by Lambdanaut 2020-04-20T04:49:29Z ♥ 1

Took me a while to realize I had to *push* the BBYs out of the way XD Game was much easier once I understood that. They are so cute!

The Blobbysitter by jbasinger 2020-04-20T04:40:40Z ♥ 1

I made 3,900 coins! I'm so confused! That was awesome!

Ninja and Mouse by TrampolineTales 2020-04-20T04:30:11Z ♥ 0

Simple but fun! I felt like the quickest way to win was to rush for Combo Multiplier and Combo Bonus then save up for 100x, while ignoring every other powerup. I think it would be improved if the difficulty ramped up more, so that it became nearly impossible without powerups.

Flower Dreams by BradCode 2020-04-20T04:12:28Z ♥ 1

I got a score of 48045. I couldn't quite figure out how best to prune the plant! I even looked up guides online about how to prune real plants...

Turbine Troubles by FussenKuh 2020-04-20T03:29:04Z ♥ 1

Initialize. Robolauncher. 2034. Pretty simple but gets hectic quick. So fun. My high score was 302!

Save Ivee by Furfel 2020-04-20T03:08:03Z ♥ 2

I had a lot of trouble coming up with the right color combinations, and the colors in the bottles don't quite seem to match the color that came out on the crystal. Also, the movement was interesting. Why did you go with a hybrid of mouse direction + wasd, instead of just wasd? I wish I was able to get farther along in the game to learn who Ivee is!

EICON TOWN by Sacrface 2020-04-20T03:04:11Z ♥ 2

I love the 3D models of the buildings and the landscape! The gameplay felt a little tedious to me though. I think I'd be more into it if I could switch between the different buildings instantaneously. Could work really well as a board game!

Keep It Alive, Keep Enemies Dead by Maksim Chugunov 2020-04-20T02:16:58Z ♥ 1

It's so hard! I played a lot of times and the first enemy kept killing me. Actually, I wonder if it could be a bug? It seems like the enemies get stronger and stronger, but they don't get reset when you restart the game?

A Data Story by beetracks 2020-04-20T02:00:46Z ♥ 0

Blue Data and Pink Data are very cute! I felt like the puzzles were a little too easy, but still fun. Also, an undo button would be nice :) especially when I wasn't paying attention and ran out of energy, so I had to start all over again.

In A Game Wherein by SSStormy 2020-04-20T01:01:24Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept, great creative writing! I played through twice, hoping for something different to happen. But on the second loop, I figured out how to use the secret code :) "Please Finish Your Game"!
