LD60 — Old Tech (30)

OldTech:老当益撞 Gamejam! by HongKai 2026-10-20T09:41:09Z ♥ 0

I really enjoyed this roguelike! It’s just a shame there’s no English language option. The music and the art style are both top - Respect!

SMASH TO FIX by Frizifrench 2026-10-20T09:31:02Z ♥ 1

2.PNGAt first I didn't get what to do, but then it dawned on me that it’s one of those "hazing-style" games where you have to smack the equipment around to get it working. Brilliant game!

Purple submarine by jathurshandev 2026-10-20T09:24:44Z ♥ 0

A rather primitive game; you still have to figure out whether to hit the pucks with the corner or the edge. For a first-time experience, it’s a perfectly decent game for a single beginner

The Abacus: Hellraiser by Maksim Terskov 2026-10-20T09:13:42Z ♥ 1

Such a unique concept! Combining a dungeon crawler with rhythm-based combat and an abacus is something I definitely didn’t expect, and the PHONK soundtrack fits the chaotic atmosphere really well. The retro visuals are great - the vibing skeleton and the Nokia boss are brilliant touches - and the combat mechanics make the game stand out. Awesome work by the whole team!

The Switchboard Operator by Isline 2026-10-20T09:12:37Z ♥ 1

This is a really charming and clever take on the switchboard operator job - it fits the Old Tech theme perfectly, and the Papers Please-style flow works well once you figure it out. The graphics are simple but quite good for a game jam, and the voice effects made me laugh. I did manage to break the game by connecting the end of one wire to the same point where another wire’s end was already connected, which was a bit unfortunate. Overall, though, it’s clear how to play and genuinely fun; I’d just love a bit more speed between calls or an optional timer for when you can’t find the line quickly enough. Nice work!

Streets of France by Vhalenn 2026-10-20T09:08:52Z ♥ 2

I’m a total Rambo - I wrecked the whole street! The game fits the Ludum theme perfectly; in my view, it’s the best one so far in terms of thematic alignment. Well done!

PIP's Escape by Isaac Hisey 2026-10-20T08:54:42Z ♥ 2

Really impressive concept - I love the idea of traveling through five different retro consoles, each with its own visual style, mechanics, and atmosphere. The attention to detail with the different color palettes and sound chips is especially cool, and having items carry over between games is a really interesting touch. The transition from the 2D animated intro into the 3D console-switching gameplay was a great surprise, and the playful detail of the TV buttons actually changing the whole style really sells it. It’s a very creative take on the Old Tech theme, and honestly hard to believe this was made in three days.

My main issues were technical: the game froze during loading after the main menu for me on Firefox/macOS, and I also noticed the music flickering on the itch build. The dev was quick to respond and troubleshoot, which is much appreciated, but those bugs did get in the way of the experience. Still, the ambition and execution are outstanding - would love to see this polished further. Great work!

Rusty laser by Z1BIkS 2026-10-20T08:51:55Z ♥ 2

Really thoughtful design - the enemy swans’ anticipation and attack indicators are spot on, and the crank-shaft reloading is a great fit for the OLD TECH theme. Manual reloading, clearing jams, and managing overheating add a nice layer of tension, and the tutorial is genuinely needed and well done. I also love the unique visual style.

My main gripes: the crank reload sound is a bit dull - I expected something mechanical like trrrrrrr - and there’s a lot to process in a short time, so introducing the mechanics more gradually would help (and naturally make the game longer). I also had enemies spawn so close to the gun that they were too close to shoot, which felt unfair even with a fast reload. Still, a tough, creative, well-executed entry - I’d love to see this concept expanded into a bigger game

Mr. Havoc in The Web by sasik 2026-10-20T08:50:13Z ♥ 3

Really charming game - the terminal/CRT aesthetic is instantly memorable, and Havoc is an adorable little troublemaker. The pixel-art rendering, goofy tutorial, and music that shifts per room give it a lot of personality, especially for a jam entry. I also loved the sheer number of interactables and the ASCII level art.

My main friction was clarity: I couldn’t always tell which bookshelves the scanner was pointing at, and the wall-jump mechanic wasn’t obvious to me - I got stuck in the green ASCII level until I read a comment explaining it. A small in-game hint for wall jumping would help a lot. The platforming also felt a little disconnected from the computer-window premise at times, though the style carries it. Overall, very polished and full of heart - would love to see a fuller version

The Lighthouse: The last night by fastikif 2026-10-20T08:46:06Z ♥ 0

The monster is absolutely hilarious - I actually smiled when I saw the jumpscare! Still, for a game made by just one person, it’s really well done. Great job!

Tokar by eonesets 2026-10-20T08:38:27Z ♥ 1

1.PNG я смог! ура. Ну игруха зачет, в первый раз без 3 пальцев остался

Shelf Life by Dudum Lare 2026-10-20T07:48:44Z ♥ 0

Not a game for casuals! You have to scrub up baby poop with a mop and pick up after the little ones! But in all seriousness, the game was built for a Ludum Dare jam - it’s hilarious, and the visuals are great. My respects!

Blackwater by Avi 2026-10-20T07:38:23Z ♥ 3

Really lovely atmosphere - the stormy sea, rain, lighthouse, and little lit sailboat all come together beautifully, and the music makes it feel surprisingly immersive. The core idea of steering while keeping enemies in your cannon’s firing range is simple to grasp but still makes you think about positioning, and the one-side-only shooting adds a nice challenge without feeling too clunky.

I played a few waves and had fun sinking ships; the difficulty felt pretty well balanced. My main confusion was feedback: it wasn’t always clear what could damage me, and the camera/rock collisions could feel frustrating when I couldn’t see what was coming. I also wasn’t sure how the “old tech” theme connected at first, though the old ships and cannons mostly sell it. Overall, a very polished and enjoyable jam game - would love to see it expanded with clearer damage warnings and a bit more camera freedom

Denshobato ni Tensei shita Ken 2 (Pal version) by Crak 2026-10-20T07:36:14Z ♥ 2

A really hilarious game! I crashed into a person while flying through the rings, and the sound it made was super funny. Well done - great work! One suggestion, though: it could use some kind of tutorial; otherwise, it’s a bit hard to figure out

Hail Mary by Dblazer63 2026-10-20T07:25:53Z ♥ 1

This is a genuinely clever take on orbital mechanics - turning gravity assists into the core gameplay is such a cool idea. The retro UI and ambient sound design make it surprisingly meditative once you get going, and escaping the solar system feels really rewarding. I’ll admit I was a bit confused at first about what to do and how much manual aiming mattered, so a little more onboarding or a text toggle would help. Still, for a jam game this is really impressive and has a great vibe. Nice work! 🚀

Cold Call by WALK 2026-10-20T07:16:31Z ♥ 2

The developer must have been really high when making this game. Kudos for the graphics - everything fits together so harmoniously in this "drug trip" style. Well done!

Steel Tree by Awanami 2026-10-20T07:11:00Z ♥ 1

The visuals and the cigarette - hats off to you. I didn't quite figure out how to play, but oh well. Also, I didn't get why there’s a tape recorder when there’s already background music

Keep a vintage zeppelin flying, and its passengers happy, in Hindenburp! by magus77 2026-10-20T07:02:00Z ♥ 1

A very funny and original game. I enjoyed the mechanics and the soundtrack, which features people shouting. I didn’t quite make it to the end, but I gave it my best shot! The game is definitely worth checking out - well done!

Textolite by perrarancino 2026-10-20T06:54:49Z ♥ 7

DIVINE VISUALS. Excellent color palette and NPCs. I really liked the character we play as. The system for transitioning between levels is also awesome. I didn't manage to reach the boss—I got killed - but those who aren't casual players will definitely make it!

IAR Archives by wexelsdev 2026-10-20T06:50:19Z ♥ 2

There’s no tutorial, the controls are clunky, and there’s no clear way to exit the computer interface - you just have to stumble around until you figure it out. It feels like the developers made this game for themselves. At least the visuals and movement mechanics are cool; the artists did a great job - they clearly put in the most effort

Awful memories by Zaikorrr 2026-10-19T17:53:07Z ♥ 2

The concept is AWESOME! The implementation of the wires and the interaction with the brain are also done perfectly. I really liked that - or at least, that’s how it seemed to me - there might be multiple possible endings (though I’m not sure); however, once I injected three syringes into the brain, everything started over from the beginning

Connect your PX5 to a CRT TV by ywt04 2026-10-19T17:29:57Z ♥ 1

Connecting a PlayStation to an old TV is a fun idea) a concept that fits the Ludum Dare theme well

Forgotten Device by beareye 2026-10-19T17:26:31Z ♥ 1

The concept is interesting, and the sounds are excellent. But I didn't make it to the end - my finger got tired from tapping the spacebar

Ghost in the Egg by Tanjou 2026-10-19T17:22:05Z ♥ 2

I absolutely love the visuals and the overall concept of the game. I hope you manage to maintain your leading position in the jam!

Old World Skies by IndigoWolf 2026-10-19T17:11:02Z ♥ 0

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play; it lags and the controls don't work

Welcome to my Homepage by fourApril 2026-10-19T16:53:34Z ♥ 1

AWESOME GAME!!! I got totally hooked - built a whole farm of websites - but I never quite made it to 5 million crystals. The concept is brilliant and fits the Ludum theme perfectly

DEAD PIXELS - THE LAST SIGNAL by artemeda 2026-10-19T16:35:35Z ♥ 3

I really like the game's visual style and atmospheric music — great job, guys! And the key-based mechanic is unique - it’s wonderful!

Counterweight by Mmm1008fm 2026-10-19T16:25:35Z ♥ 1

The animation is great, the visual style is pleasant, and the levels are varied and enjoyable! At first, I wasn’t entirely sure what was going on, but then I figured it out, and I thought the idea was cool :)

Recaller by basic_eagles 2026-10-19T16:15:42Z ♥ 1

The visual style is beyond praise! The game leaves a pleasant impression, and despite the small amount of content, it makes you feel responsible for the decisions you make. And that’s very unusual!

Pager №13 by Mariia Duruhyan 2026-10-19T16:09:00Z ♥ 0

The dialogues read very vividly! The visual style is captivating, and the characters look expressive!

LD59 — Signal (1)

Call 4 Help! by ThatFirey 2026-10-19T16:32:26Z ♥ 1

Maybe I didn’t understand something, but nothing is clear. But it looks beautiful!

LD56 — Tiny Creatures (42)

Creepy Crypt Critters by ArcadeEleven 2024-10-10T11:00:26Z ♥ 2

It's a great memorization game. I really liked the music and the drawing. way to go! I love this kind of game. I wish there were some different modes though, but for ludum the game is whole and cool!

ETHERNET by zhang 2024-10-10T10:32:04Z ♥ 1

I absolutely loved the art component of the game and the atmosphere. Beautiful lighting and game with post processing. It's really hard to make a game like this in 3 days. Well done!

Chaos and Cuddles by UnagiV 2024-10-10T10:28:37Z ♥ 0

Unfortunately I couldn't start the game as the mouse was blocked in the menu( I hope you fix the bug as the game is unplayable in the browser because of this( Maybe it's because of my operating system. I don't know

Big Little Scoundrel by stepa 2024-10-10T10:16:05Z ♥ 3

Insanely cool drawings and post processing! Well done! Awesome atmosphere and the game is cohesive very much within the jam. The gameplay part is very much enjoyed. Respect from JoBlow! (0L/QuNGB0Y/RgiDQtNCy0LAh (base 64 decode))

Beetle Battle by unkilledshadow135_Alex 2024-10-10T10:13:29Z ♥ 1

I really liked the cartoonish graphics. Very well done, well done! Too bad there are no weapon upgrades or anything like that, but for 3 days the game is great! Well done) Respect for Art from JoBlow!

Beyond Fear by Arsmih24 2024-10-10T10:10:35Z ♥ 3

It's an insanely cool atmosphere. The artwork is wonderful! Well done! Reminds me of the atmosphere of Silent Hill for some reason with its colors. In 3 days a great game! I got stuck when jumping over the bug ;)

Don't get lost by milu raien 2024-10-10T10:00:55Z ♥ 3

I really liked the animation and the drawing. A lot of people write that it's not enough for the game, but it's quite good for 3 days. Well done!

Cat&Dumplings by Anton4ik-dev 2024-10-10T09:57:17Z ♥ 1

Beautiful game, artwork, and idea! Well done! There was a moment where my dumpling didn't work when hitting the cardboard target, but for a jam, considering you're also a teacher with a limited schedule - great game. Respect from JoBlow!

Glowing in the dark by Libra_Nix 2024-10-10T09:52:18Z ♥ 1

I absolutely loved the voice acting for this game. Good job! But if you want to process the voiceover better next time, I advise you to look for services with AI or Voice Processing. Overall a great game in 3 days. I enjoyed it)

Run Lilliputes by Niewrsis 2024-10-10T09:31:43Z ♥ 2

The game is cool, but I couldn't get to the ending and I also missed the audio component. Really liked the Art Design. Well done! To jam this is a great game! Respect from JoBlow!

Beards, Hats, Guns! by Alexkik1515 2024-10-10T09:28:44Z ♥ 0

Even though the game is unplayable, well done you guys for your efforts on this jam! The theme was followed, but I'm sure you'll do better next time!

Exaltation by HellHound 2024-10-10T02:13:46Z ♥ 5

Unfortunately, due to the weight of the project I couldn't run it, so I'll give an estimate based on comments and pictures. The game looks great, and since there are also their own soundtracks (hopefully without the use of artificial intelligence), only respect, as I myself am a music composer. Anyway, for the graphic, a big kudos from JoBlow!

BugBuster by Pinkydem0n 2024-10-10T02:07:09Z ♥ 1

A good game in 3 days. Worked great! sorry there are bugs, but that's ok. The movements of the main character's legs are funny. Next time I'm sure you'll do even better!

Creeping Steel by Tw9nty 2024-10-10T02:03:55Z ♥ 2

@boodle This team is presenting a game from ITHub College, for which they will receive grades. They have the responsibility to finalize the game if they want to win the college Jam. And yes, updates are not banned on Ludum Dare. Anyway, if they were banned, the Ludum site itself wouldn't allow uploading a new build version, so be more loyal to this situation and better rate the game people have invested strength. At the very least writing a comment under the game starting with a hit and run is disrespectful. I hope you can understand me. My personal opinion about the game: you are good that you decided to make such a big project, but as you can see there is not much time to put everything together. I personally was not really clear where to go, but specifically the design - my respect. You also used Unreal Engine. Well done! I give it a rating of 10/10, but only because of the graphics. I hope that next time you can make a full playable game within the jam. Respect for 3D from JoBlow!

Dwarf Ant War by volish 2024-10-10T01:51:48Z ♥ 0

Угарная ситуация. Я хотел построить дамбу в майнкрафте, выпив протеиновый коктейль, но мне мешали тараканы. В общем и целом игра заслуживает 10 стивов из 10!

GLOW by Fenix131113 2024-10-10T01:49:16Z ♥ 3

GOD! WHAT AWESOME GRAPHICS, ARTWORK AND ATMOSPHERE! Well done, guys. Special MEGA RESPECT from JoBlow team. Everyone of ur team did a great job. The gameplay part is perfect and the game is basically done quite holistically within the jam. Way to go!

Wet_Adventures (GigaGamesStudio) by Willbone 2024-10-10T01:43:43Z ♥ 1

To be honest, I didn't like the game as it's not playable. If it was finished, I would give it a good rating, but the only thing I liked was the music in the game and arts. I hope that next time you can meet the time limit to create at least a playable game, and at most fully finished. Either way, well done for trying! All in good time!

Leafling builders by Kotolazer 2024-10-10T01:40:08Z ♥ 4

Absolutely loved the animations and pixilated artwork! Also the music is just perfect for the fall vibe. Well done! 10/10, and fits the ludum theme. Respect from JoBlow!

Warm worm by Yup1_X0dUs 2024-10-10T01:36:35Z ♥ 2

Great novella atmosphere. really liked the story, even though I only play adult novellas (as long as mom can't see), but the game is beautifully done for its 3 days. To the female artists kudos from JoBlow! 10/10

Pivo is fuel by Nor1h_l1zard 2024-10-10T01:34:59Z ♥ 1

Водила чувствует мой вайб, он начинает шашковать.. дешевый гараж из кб - я должен всё забрать. офигенная игра, молодцы) правда звуков не хватило, но в общем и целом хорошая игра за 3 дня)

ECHOES OF THE GNOMES by meylish 2024-10-10T01:31:53Z ♥ 3

Creepy game and awesome creature drawings with an emphasis on sur realism. The artists are good! Only that lacked the correct customization of the game UI under the resolution of the monitor (or it was, just in the browser does not work well, no matter, do not take into account) in general, the game is cool! For the creepiness of JoBlow. Way to go! And the sound design is beautiful. i, being someone who creates sounds for games am delighted. Special kudos from me)

Hurry ant by Baynary-Egor 2024-10-10T01:26:58Z ♥ 2

LMAO, awesome game. When my ant was spinning to the Jewish music, I realized that I'm doing something wrong in this life... But it's funny, well done! Awesome idea and realization. Way to go! Respect from JoBlow!

Laverino by Kirass 2024-10-10T01:20:15Z ♥ 15

Awesome puzzle game, although there are bugs with character movement, item interactions, but you made a great game in 3 days! Well done. Respect for the creepiness from JoBlow! and as the person above wrote, you really shouldn't spam the same type of posts under other people's games on Ludum without even playing them, as it not only jeopardizes your karma, but also kills the whole point of Ludum Dare. And on top of that, it's disrespectful to the members of Ludum Dare. I hope you realize this and will not do it again!

Critter Gang by lastsecondgames 2024-10-10T01:03:44Z ♥ 4

Beautiful drawings and a cool fighting game. Well done! Keep up the good work. Everything is top notch, both graphics and gameplay, there is even a tutorial. The game is holistic enough for ludum)

Bug Hunt by JammyGunns 2024-10-09T22:42:02Z ♥ 1

Cool game idea, but not enough hearts. When you click on the wrong bug, a sound is played, but also could have taken away a heart (for example). But as part of a one person jam, it's a good game. I give it an 8/10, as I personally missed the music in the game and the hearts

Critter Catchers by dinobobbo 2024-10-09T22:37:52Z ♥ 1

The idea is cool, but my character got stuck after I pressed the bullet. The graphics are cartoonish and cute. for jam trying to implement servers is a strong idea. Well done!!! But for the flaws, 7/10. Next time please emphasize during the jam on the playability of the build!

Tardi In SPACE by zappablamma 2024-10-09T22:33:42Z ♥ 1

awesome game idea about the silent walker! You guys are great! Cool realization and gameplay about her flights in space! Nothing superfluous. 10/10

Sluggernaut by 1Cloud 2024-10-09T22:21:31Z ♥ 2

That's a cool idea! But the balance is weird, to be honest. Also lacked in addition to music with sound. otherwise the game looks whole and finalizing it can be released on phones, for example! Well done)

Lab Rat by Shamiya 2024-10-09T22:16:18Z ♥ 2

Cool implementation! within the jam game is great. but did not like that there is no nickel to indicate the player controls (that there is a run, for example, and only with the help of it can move boxes)

Mercenary Exorcist by juju 2024-10-09T22:12:28Z ♥ 3

The idea is cool, within the jam the game is quite well done! But did not like the fact that there is no development of enemies in the game. Development is only at the locations. Including bullets go through the wall, and when the energy runs out, it goes into the minus. 8/10, but they did a great job!

Titan Shadow by Korteh 2024-10-09T22:04:46Z ♥ 3

very cool game! i liked the idea and realization. cool graphics. insanely good work within the jam! 10/10

Fly does not sit by zbrogdom 2024-10-09T21:56:14Z ♥ 2

cool idea! really liked the gameplay, but something was missing. Anyway my record is 172 seconds! Well done. I give it a good rating

Home place by detectiveLosos 2024-10-09T21:51:15Z ♥ 3

Well done! Very cool game, especially I liked the cute sounds and the game drawing in black and white style. Awesome build, well done guys, wish I could give it a 10/10 rating. for a 3 day jam it's very cool!

Tiny Bug by holzez 2024-10-09T21:48:19Z ♥ 2

I enjoyed the game immensely! Awesome styling and fits the jam theme perfectly! But I missed the sounds when damage is dealt. But overall the implementation is awesome! 10/10

Soul's Descent by maneoliz 2024-10-09T19:28:30Z ♥ 1

I think the game doesn't really fit the ludum theme, as cerberus is big on its own. It would be more suited to the Big Creatures theme. But the realization in 3 days is not bad! Way to go! 8/10 is my rating

HARVESTED by Chronicpain 2024-10-09T19:18:47Z ♥ 5

I really liked the graphics, but lacked the volume settings. The atmosphere is perfect and I almost fell asleep ahahahahaha. Way to go! 100/10

Ants War by Danikmiks 2024-10-09T19:15:04Z ♥ 2

That's a cool idea for a TopDown shooter. Didn't have enough volume settings and use of glasses to Upgrades my cockroach. But overall the game is cool! Well done! 10/10!

Nano Commando by ferelily 2024-10-09T19:09:09Z ♥ 5

AWESOME GAME!!! 10/10 PERFECT IDEA AND REALIZATION!!! WOODS!

Dubby: A dung beetle adventure game by basic_eagles 2024-10-09T19:03:29Z ♥ 0

I really liked the game! cool movement sounds, but I would like to see some music too! I also lacked pointers for character movement and jump direction in the form of an arrow when Space Bar is pressed. Otherwise, for 3 days it's a very good job. Well done! The idea is also good. My rating is 9/10

Mice are Coming by Petr Vejchoda 2024-10-09T18:59:53Z ♥ 3

I loved the idea! You can play as a human and a mouse, but when playing as a human I went through walls. The idea is cool, but I'm waiting for you to fix the bugs! for the work 9/10. Well done!

Running from shampoo by karakv1s 2024-10-09T18:57:37Z ♥ 2

I like short stories and loved this one! cool idea with the animal hair but it was missing something. give it a 9/10!

Tiny Turtles by RhysT 2024-10-09T18:51:34Z ♥ 2

I liked the game! it fits the ludum theme. calm atmosphere and cool sound effects! when you shrink the turtle, it's like bursting an anti-stress. But there was not enough tutorial on how to control the turtle, only by searching the buttons I could understand that it is reduced by “Space Bar”
