Although its all text based i really enjoyed it

Last Chance Supermarket by Sebastian 2013-12-15T22:32:00

this is awesome

Bomb by Nnnnneeeedddd 2013-12-15T21:53:00

guys the jumping just makes the y position go up then
down how could it be better or worse. He doesn't jump
very high because otherwise it would be two easy.

you only have one life because the theme is "you only get one"

Thanks for the feedback

Bomb by Nnnnneeeedddd 2013-12-16T09:15:00

ill keep that in mind for my next game thanks :)

Bomb by Nnnnneeeedddd 2013-12-16T09:51:00

sorry guys there are quite a few collision bugs :/

Bomb by Nnnnneeeedddd 2013-12-30T15:15:00

@Binary Gambit I know i noticed that, but couldn't work out why it didn't work on ubuntu :( sorry.

Null by evan100216 2013-12-16T09:04:00

Really good game =D

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T18:44:00

Theres's a Twist by Lucio 2014-04-28T18:17:00

dig up the treasure by ills 2014-04-28T18:27:00

wan't sure what to do but obviously fitted with the theme and
i liked the graphics

Antlings by Jagang 2014-04-29T18:30:00

I didn't vote this particularly well because my ant stopped
on nothing

Saturday Night Symbiosis by Pierrec 2014-08-28T18:37:00

good

DoNotConnect!! by Nnnnneeeedddd 2014-08-27T13:42:00

Lol, Yea i made the thruster sound with my mouth! But i changed the rate and hoped it would sound less mouthy!!

DoNotConnect!! by Nnnnneeeedddd 2014-09-07T17:06:00

@perfectclivee My highscore is 15. :) But there is no end it is infinite......

A Hyperlink Between Worlds by unprompted 2014-08-25T10:36:00

chrome says this file is malicious :/

unintuitive no signleplayer

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

One Scene Prison by nbilyk 2014-12-08T19:58:00

I spent ten minutes trying to do something of any significance, you need to give us some idea of what to do.. All i worked out how to do is steal money and pour grape juice in the toilet.....

PhoneSnowman by Nnnnneeeedddd 2014-12-08T17:11:00

@Absor I don't think you read the instructions. Please get back to me as to why you couldn't complete the first area!! I have checked the uploaded .jar and it seems fine to me?

PhoneSnowman by Nnnnneeeedddd 2014-12-09T20:27:00

BtheDestroyer Yea! That was the original idea but i didn't have time :(

PhoneSnowman by Nnnnneeeedddd 2014-12-11T21:53:00

@monkeedude1212 The mouse thing was kindof the idea of the game i was trying to be indie :/... Everything else you said was true and thankyou for your feedback :D:D

PhoneSnowman by Nnnnneeeedddd 2014-12-12T17:50:00

@harley77 A few people have said that... If you could tell me why you couldn't get out of the first area that would be great!!

Christmas Crusades by Tridecimal 2014-12-09T20:09:00

dropbox said there was an error ??

The Snowman and the Cannons by thecord 2014-12-08T19:47:00

I love this game. The graphics were great, and the blandness of the game was mainly just limitation of the theme. But i love the simplicity, and the music makes me happy :D. I might keep this :D

Super Supermarket Shopping Saga by bubblemapgaming 2014-12-08T19:33:00

Funny.. But a bit silly and not much of a game

Pengie by GeorgeBroussard 2014-12-08T21:54:00

Thanks, this was great fun!!!!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Heist Time by YM 2015-04-20T11:15:00

This game was so cool

Ludum Dare #-6192 by pi_pi3 2015-04-20T11:41:00

Hm, I couldn't run this. It just showed your first screenshot and didn't do anything :/

Space Negotiator! by morgondag 2015-04-20T11:00:00

This game was so awesome, I loved the fake voice, and I got so sucked into the story. I am actually gonna keep this game, and play it for fun. Thank you for this :D

LD33 — You are the Monster

Time Spill by Chronodrax 2015-08-27T16:17:00

I really liked the idea of the scroll wheel. The game was altogether very fun to play. My only problem with it, was near the end, I had loads of little guys standing around, and it got really laggy.

Who's Da Monster ? by Natura-Time 2015-08-27T16:25:00

Good game. I liked the idea of accusing the monster (of being the monster) good game :D. Also I disagree with MechanicMoon with the clues. Games should not hold people's hands, great game!

Royal Flesh by jcsirron 2015-08-27T16:07:00

Runtime error, you need to edit your entry with a fixed version, Ludum Dare allow you to fix your game after the deadline if it is completely broken.

No Pictures Please by Quetzakol 2015-08-24T13:50:00

This game is awesome, I love the puzzleness. Fantastic entry (one of the best I have seen so far)

You are a Zombie? by Joseaper 2015-08-24T13:43:00

Quite liked this game. The music was a bit scratchy and repetitive. Also I felt this was not great use of the theme. However this is a nice entry, good work.

Snacker by ToloaGames 2015-08-24T13:33:00

This game was pretty awesome! I felt like the art for the monster was a bit lacking though. Also as lowercaserho said, being able to shoot in non-cardinal directions would be really helpful :D Overall, great entry!

Night Feast by TaleEngineer 2015-08-25T17:27:00

This game was actually like fun. Really fun.

Night Feast by TaleEngineer 2015-08-27T16:01:00

oh, and also, thanks for telling me about the crash in my game :D

GameApi world by terop 2015-08-24T13:46:00

Not really sure what this is. The shader is awesome though. You should make a game with this! :D

Underworld psycho by JustASHadow 2015-08-24T13:40:00

Overall great game. However if you are going to use pixel art, don't use a bilinear filter. The blurry pixels ruined the graphics. I really liked the 2d.. 3d thing. Great Entry

Scare It ! by teateam 2015-08-27T16:29:00

I didn't really understand this game. When I moved the monster, it didn't move with the mouse or anything. This should not be done with the mouse. Also, the human just stabbed me even if I was in the bush or whatever. I don't understand this game, I am sorry.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Breeze by thynnmas 2015-12-16T16:59:00

I can't believe you made this game in purely OpenGL and C, this is amazing. The collisions are a little broken, and I got stuck in a wall a couple of times. The shader is awesome. The audio is great, really moody, Thank you for making this!!

The Ultimate Corn Protector by ezolotko 2015-12-16T17:10:00

5 stars for graphics, this is an awesome art style!! The audio killed my ears though, I am deaf now!! :D

Thanks for making this game!!

THE GARDENER by echa 2015-12-16T17:16:00

great innovation, good idea. Some of the levels were quite challenging, I think you should be able to grow plants off of other plants, so you can make a tower, I think that would be fun!!

Thanks for making this game!!

Elevator Ellie by issa 2015-12-16T17:19:00

Very nice entry!!
As a lot of people have said, it would be better if there was more variation.

Thank you for making this game!!

Build Sim by Nnnnneeeedddd 2015-12-15T23:15:00

@OrangeeZ Exactly, the two button controls made it unplayable, which is why if I want to continue with the project (as ninos said) I would kinda have to reprogram it!

Build Sim by Nnnnneeeedddd 2015-12-16T17:32:00

@Pikkufighter: that is interesting, I would love to know why that was. It has only been tested on windows so you might have been using a different operating system.

PogoGuy by Wukkopi 2015-12-16T17:05:00

Very addictive! It would have been better if there was a clearer rule of what happens when you die. I think you go back to the nearest point where there is grass??

Anyway, the game itself was really good, however could really have done with some audio.

Thanks for making this!!

AsteroidRush by MountainRanger 2015-12-16T17:23:00

I wish I had though of a simple mechanic like this!!
Really good game, I love the subtle bits, such as the square rotating in the direction that you move, and the stars moving in the background, it makes a really nice feel.

Thank you for making this game!!

LD35 — Shapeshift

Lycanthrope by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-04-18T06:31:00

Yes, I really wanted to make something similar. That is why :D

Lycanthrope by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-04-19T18:06:00

Quique were you using a weapon?? You can't attack them with nothing.

Lycanthrope by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-04-23T13:28:00

@Sheepulution Well that wouldn't be in the correct style of old-fashioned dungeon crawlers, it would also defeat the point of the fact that this game is centred around mazes :P

Lycanthrope by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-04-29T17:34:00

Gord10, Yea, I totally agree. The only reason I made it mazy, is because I didn't really have time to add enough mechanics to add a sufficient amount of gameplay :/

Wood for the Trees by ratking 2016-04-29T15:49:00

This game is amazing! These graphics are amazing, just amazing. Not sure about the gameplay, I couldn't do it, so I am just gonna assume the rest was good. Great game!

Slide and Match by Rialgar 2016-04-28T21:13:00

Great game!!

Shapeshift Inc by Jajo 2016-04-29T14:27:00

I don't really understand what I am supposed to do :/.

A Slimy Fellow by Ourson 2016-04-17T23:35:00

This game is amazing. Thankyou so much for this.

The Great Leap by Louspirit 2016-04-29T14:32:00

Great game! You should maybe work on the difficulty curve a little bit. It is quite difficult at the beginning.

Polyjam by Quique 2016-04-18T20:11:00

Loved your interpretation of shape shift. This game was very fun!!

Rectanguwarp by FelixNemis 2016-04-19T05:44:00

Very nice game. Graphics were great, the game play felt mostly good. However, when you jump, you spend a little too much time in the air.

Pup8Bit by Zealous Coder 2016-04-28T21:26:00

Not really sure what this entry is. Maybe compile your project next time?!?!

When I did compile it, it still didn't work, something about opengl pipeline. Not really sure?

Why didn't you package it??

Doodles by El_WaKa 2016-04-29T14:23:00

Pretty good game. Lacking anything to do with the theme though?

Perspective Shift by meganukebmp 2016-04-18T20:08:00

Very nice game. Audio was absolutely excellent. Graphics also. One thing, some of the first levels were a bit long, without much change in difficulty. Overall, brilliant though :D

Morflime by AndrewSP 2016-04-19T05:48:00

I can't see the character, when I run this game.

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Alby by davidcmcdonald 2016-08-29T23:03:00

Really liked the sound effects. The gameplay was fun!! Additional sound effects, for stuff like, the bow being fired, would have been good :)

Alby by davidcmcdonald 2016-08-29T23:04:00

Edit: Ok, ignore the bow thing, because there is :/. Great game!! :P

Ancient Portal by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-08-30T11:29:00

@AWOL yes, It's made purely with Java, LWJGL, I had no base code. Also, I didn't use a Maths library :). Thanks!

Azymuth by Geckoo1337 2016-08-29T23:16:00

This is soo coool!!! I love the graphics, I love the scoreboard. It is the perfect difficulty for this kind of game, the level design is strategic and clever (although I didn't actually complete it :/).

This is the kind of Ludum Dare game that I will play twice. Thanks :D

Back to Nature by QuestionableQuality 2016-09-02T16:51:00

The day-night cycle is great, I like the way the shadow's change. I am a fan of isometric games, so I liked that too :). I found it quite challenging, but started to improve :). Great Entry, Thanks!

Bobby Bow by AWOL 2016-08-29T23:11:00

Good:
I liked the music. I also liked the spider art (or photo?) they are nice and creepy.

Bad:
I move diagonally up and to the left when I am not pressing any controls, I am not sure why this happens.
Also, 'S' is not very intuitive.

Anyway, thanks for making the game! I had a lot of fun with it :)

Theoton by ninja00283 2016-08-29T14:38:00

I love the gameboy art style. The mechanics were interesting, I wouldn't mind trying something like this out myself. Good job :)

LD37 — One room

Techno Party Death Box by onyon 2016-12-12T15:58:00

This is the best game I've played so far c:

Thanks!!

LudumDare OneRoom - Blackback Mountain by kptemre 2016-12-12T15:41:00

This game is quite good. It needs an overall polish, and better controls though.

Anyway, thanks for making this game

Cat and Robot by Vadim Ivshin 2016-12-12T16:11:00

This game is genius! First of all I love the isometrics graphics. I also really like this style game. I gave high humor, innovation and fun. Nice Job :).

Also, with my game, you definitely extracted the folder from the zip? Otherwise it won't run. If you did, it's probably an OpenGL Version problem

Anyway, Your game is brilliant, I had a lot of fun with it ;)

Abandon Ship by drakekin 2016-12-12T14:36:00

I liked the graphics and mood. You need to add mouse grab for the online version though (not sure if this is possible)

Me, Myself And The Room by Artylo 2016-12-12T15:52:00

I moved my mouse to the bottom of the screen, a little circle comes up, but I can't click it. Also, the sound stopped working the third time I tried running it. The aesthetics look brilliant though

Santas Helpers! by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-12-12T17:55:00

victorcrafty - No I made it in c++ from scratch with OpenGL, and OpenAL Soft

Santas Helpers! by Nnnnneeeedddd 2016-12-16T16:35:00

They do fall back down? When you put an elf on a machine, it can be taken off. Otherwise, it would not be possible.

A Magical Night by holgk 2016-12-12T15:46:00

Couldn't get past the menu, sorry. The Start button doesn't work, and I don't have a control. I also tried pressing enter and space. The menu shouldn't be too important, so either don't have one, or make it intuitive. I did not rate the game, as I could not get into it.

Sorry,

Ned

Doors? NO! by pi_pi3 2016-12-12T14:54:00

With the toonshading and dithering the screenshots looks AWESOME. However, I am sorry, I downloaded the latest version of love, and dragged your file into it. Nothing happened. I also opened the file with love, and it gave me the error:

Error: main.lua:51: assets/shader.json: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
main.lua:51: in function 'load'
[string "boot.lua"]:440: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:436>
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Because of this I was not able to rate, but it looks really great :D

Inside The Office by Darkhaul 2016-12-12T14:47:00

Link is broken, but I found it on game jolt. I really liked the graphics!! However, there is not too much gameplay here, I would focus more on gameplay in future. Nice mood though, and quite deep, so you get innovation and mood stars for that. Overall.. I liked it :). Also, I have to give you 5 stars for theme, because it is in.. One room, and there is literally nothing else to this theme :(

Yetis and Unicorns by bwalter 2016-12-12T22:42:00

This game gives a great atmosphere, with the particles, and the screenshake. The music is really nice.

Thanks,

Ned

Jewel Defender by kd7uiy 2016-12-12T14:41:00

Nice game ;). Hoped you enjoyed your first Ludum Dare :D

LD38 — A Small World

Ludum Dare dot com by PoV 2017-04-24T03:39:03Z

I think you have a great base there Mike. Great style, features are mostly functional. You should carry on with this game :)

Abaddon by Geckoo1337 2017-05-02T22:17:08Z

Nice, I really like devil daggers, and I really like this, rated very high. It looks very nice, good fast gameplay, the leaderboard made me want to keep playing, although I only got up to 34th (i think).

Thanks,

Ned

The Aliens by Nnnnneeeedddd 2017-05-01T15:37:02Z

Sounds on linux is a known issue everyone, Sorry...

Realmpusher by danbolt 2017-05-01T07:29:52Z

Overall, I really liked the game, my time was 1273 seconds (slow I know) it took me the longest to find the blue orb. I liked the way the blocks related to the actual path you took, and each block represented a different style room. That was so cool!

Graphics were awesome, the walking animation with the cape was cool. The intro was really well drawn. For Compo this is really impressive ;)

Thanks,

Ned

The Taker by Epicsoft 2017-05-02T21:56:24Z

Interesting RTS, As people have mentioned, no money system kinda stops this from being difficult. Also, whenever I placed a dead zone the game sorta died.

Nice job for 7 hours though, it is a 72 hour jam though, so I rated it as though it **was** a 72 hour jam.

Still, really impressive for 7 hours.

Thanks,

Ned

A World In Her Eye by OrbitalBlueprint 2017-05-01T09:38:51Z

Nice little game, I spent a while playing this one. The art style was really awesome, the audio was very immersive. Overall, very nice experience.

Trindle Tabletop Experiment by vkmicro 2017-05-01T07:42:24Z

The last level was pretty hard :). This game is really nice, very interesting art style, but it kinda works. There was an interesting combination of game mechanics, I liked the riddles (they were quite easy though). On the last level I got tripped up a few times, like the pencil that comes "just" out of the top of the ruler.

Anyway, really nice entry.

Thanks,

Ned

BUS DRIVER by Rombus 2017-05-01T16:14:31Z

Hey, I didn't beat your score, I only got to 40. Really neat game though, I really like the hand drawn art style, that's something you rarely see.

The music was cool, it was high tempo, and fit well with the fast (hectic) gameplay.

The collisions felt a bit odd, because i think people generally expect more 'give' behind the houses, because they are drawn as though they are upright, so people expect to be able to go 'behind' them, although you quickly get the hang of it ;).

Overall really nice game.

More than a Pixel by CAREFACE 2017-05-01T16:45:46Z

This is aweeesooommeee. I love the art, and the attacking. It just looks so good, and retro awesomeness.

This is my favorite game so far, thanks :)

Stable Orbit by mrspeaker 2017-05-02T22:07:47Z

YAYYY, I got into a stable orbit. This game felt super awesome, really nice mood, really nice art style, good audio. This game is awesome, really enjoyed playing it, I wish there were more levels now.

I love that it is made in HTML5 as well, it's so accessible, I want to make my next game a web game.

Thanks for this game, it was awesome!

LD39 — Running out of Power

Neutron Escape by HitchH1k3r 2017-08-02T13:42:14Z

This game is nice. The tutorial was good, the climbing corridor was tricky, the game was fun though, and I thought without the corridor, the game probably would have been too easy. Anyway, nice particle effects the graphics were great, I really liked the style, it all felt very professional.

Displaceable source by HolyBlackCat 2017-08-02T13:04:08Z

Really smooth, awesome looking game. I haven't completed it yet, but I will... Eventually :)

Plutonium by Nnnnneeeedddd 2017-08-04T11:20:41Z

@mathijs Yea, so, this game was made without an engine, if you look at the code you will see what I mean ;). So I didn't really have time to make small tweaks with the camera, text, gravity etc... Valid points though, next Ludum Dare, I will write some base code or something. Also, the gravity is still way lower than it is in the real world, I feel like some of you are just comparing it to other platformers, and you shouldn't just complain when stuff is different to other games. It's just *different* it's not *wrong*.

Plutonium by Nnnnneeeedddd 2017-08-28T13:52:09Z

@icyLava thanks for the in depth comment, I will check out that video. In terms of accelerating acceleration, that's not actually what is happening here, although it looks like it, this code isn't written particularly well (not very readable as demonstrated), but.... It's a Ludum Dare. Anyway, the acceleration variable, is actually acting as the velocity variable here, that is why there is confusion, the reason for that is it's set up so the 'velocity' variable is zeroed every tick(), this is for collision reasons, and the terminology is fucked because of later changes in design (but rushed). Anyway, you are completely right that the code is technically wrong, but because it doesn't read right, not because it doesn't work... I loved your comment :) :)

Ned

Surge - LD39 by IcyLava 2017-08-09T10:00:46Z

This game is very smooth :). The graphics are really nice. You manage to very effectively use simple shapes, couldn't get past the point two comment's above this one though, sorry!

Hallway Creep by slunkey 2017-08-09T10:12:29Z

It's really nice to see someone else that made their game from scratch in C++ :). Anyway, it was a pretty good idea, I liked the pseudo 3D. We do kinda need a power bar though, also I was spamming z and \ very fast, but my flashlight still turned off, so some indication of the progress that the key pressing is doing would be helpful. Anyway, happy programming :)

Plasma Arena by red-fan-games 2017-08-02T13:55:17Z

Ok, so... This game freezes on Windows, you need to take a look at the windows port. But leaving that aside here is my review: This game is AWESOME, I love strafe jumping, it's like my favorite mechanic ever, I've played a lot of quake live, so, I am pretty good at it. I have tried to implement strafe jumping before (see previous Ludum Dare games) but it was very rudimentary, and not nearly as good as yours, the movement is awesome. I love the way you can rocket jump as well. Will rate high, please fix windows version :D :D

LD39 - Runner Clone by LogFlames 2017-08-09T09:51:53Z

The Runner part of the game was very slow, I liked the idea behind the minigames. The minigames however were also quite slow, as quite often the bats are bunched together, and you just have to wait while the ball bounces back to the bats. When it came back to the bats, they were hard to control, and quite often the ball just went through them.

Robby Goes Rogue by Mars 2017-08-02T13:31:01Z

Yay, I got the city power. It's pretty hard to tell were you are shooting. When I completed it, I only actually zapped one camera. It had very good audio :). Anyway, quite a cool game. Also, you are allowed to port games after LD, so I would recommend making a 32 bit build :)

The Unhuman by wolderado 2017-08-02T10:36:36Z

SO DID SHE COME BACK FOR ME?!?!?!?! I loved this game, it was awesome! The machine thing was very well done, just simple things like adding the jolting movement, inline with the sound effect, and making it so you could only move forward. All the computery stuff was awesome, I loved the line1="Click To Interact" thing, I really felt LIKE the robot. If you extended this I would pay for it no doubt. I'm kinda speechless as to how you did this in 48 hours. Thanks :D :D

Lost in the Dark by Schu 2017-08-09T09:37:12Z

Nice entry, I liked the style, the music was really great! I know the art style was minimalist, but you should add some sort of texture on the walls as a reference point, as there is such a low field of view. That didn't matter too much though, I enjoyed playing this game :)

LD44 — Your life is currency

ZombieFood by Nnnnneeeedddd 2019-05-01T13:12:11Z

@dark1knight yea, the aiming system was kind of an experiment. Normally aim lines up with the mouse in some way, I wanted to see what would happen if I had top-down shooter style aim in a third person game.

I do agree with you fully though, I didn't particularly like the result either, it's very annoying when enemies are too close. Glad you had fun :D

Life is precious by freso 2019-05-02T13:23:24Z

Found it odd that the camera translation moved with the mouse. Usually camera translation moves with player movement, and only player rotation is adjusted with the mouse. It might just be something I have to get used to though. The gameplay is fun. However, the idea based around the theme is the obvious one to go for. One of the first ideas that pops into everyones head when they see "your life is currency" is buy items with health, but this is just frustrating. Goal 1 in every game should be to save life. Anyway, thanks for making this, it was still quite fun to play :D. Hope to see you next Ludum Dare!

Life is precious by freso 2019-05-03T21:06:25Z

@freso I gave the game two more stars for the cheat code ;)

LD44 - Cybernecia by Xeroire 2019-05-02T13:35:16Z

Nice game! Similar to comments i've on other games: buying stuff with health is not particularly fun, it's just frustrating. (I understand why you did it though, the theme was....).

Anyway, other than that it was cool. I recommend adding sound, using Bfxr you can do this in about 10 minutes, and it adds so much to the game (it gives the user more feedback as to what is happening).

The enemy count builds up super quickly, although they weren't to hard to kill, so maybe this was on purpose.

Overall, I would say it's a fun game, it made 10 minutes of my life better.

Lastly, well done for getting something submitted, I highly recommend leaving some ratings on other games, so that your game gets more feedback!!

Removed by Cuppycat 2019-05-02T13:44:56Z

This game is so polished and cool, I'm glad you told me how to get out of the building at the beginning though, I was quite confused.

The animations were awesome, and you even had time to design the puzzles, such a cool entry!

Burgers To Die For by Cievers 2019-04-30T22:21:27Z

This is such a cool game, at the beginning I had some trouble deciphering some of the pictures, especially with the fish thing, but I worked it out fairly easily.

LD55 — Summoning

Protect the Realm by Nnnnneeeedddd 2024-05-21T15:11:19Z

@marleeeeeey @jeremy-ryan really honoured you guys played this. Didn't rate this time around, because have only really had access to my work laptop (can't download stuff, could've just rated web I suppose, but that seems a bit hypocritical). @jeremy-ryan I totally agree I termed the troops 'meat shields' for this reason. (EDIT: also I looove that doodle :D )

LD58 — Collector

Bolt Action by recursor 2025-10-08T21:10:24Z

Pretty cool, points for compo, arm rotation animation is mega smooth, and fun :D

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-07T03:34:49Z

@taximan981 I was worried people wouldn't get far enough to see the bombs! :smile: Thanks so much for playing! Seems like it's actually running for people!

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-07T04:42:06Z

@varenka runs on linux?!!! That's awesome!! I guess proton has less to do with Vulkan than dx :thinking: Thanks for playing!

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-07T04:42:46Z

@brendan-aeria haha, cheers :smile: 'scratch'-ish, I wrote some vulkan wrappers beforehand (+ some audio stuff)

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-08T10:35:36Z

@Gat Thanks for playing!

@juanrod707 there was not a huge amount of sleep involved :sweat_smile:

@acartlidge Tysm! I resonate with that a lot, I think people used to use game engines a lot less when I started, but now seems to be de-facto :smile: I'm not sure why the enemies were invisible, I know there's z-fighting if you fly under the map, but the floor is only 1 plane, sounds like you had some whacky glitches going on :rofl: (it is a vulkan game, so updating drivers could make a genuine difference)

@eloc Thanks! That means a lot!! :)

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-09T10:56:54Z

@patatje @budaniel @skale @youpz @eugenik @ilqim Thanks guys!!

@blazerker Yeah, I actually expected more reports like this, I suspect it's some unsupported Vulkan features or some such. Thanks for trying! :smile: (using very modern tech, for an extremely retro game haha)

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-09T15:14:19Z

@re-markable ah, yeah, if an enemy dies really close to a wall, it kinda clips into it, and can be hard to find, you can normally just about get it (but you have to know where it is :laughing: ). Thanks for playing!

@ericns haha, tysm!

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-10T18:18:29Z

@kapricorn-media tbf the tips turn off after the first level

Unless you mean the notes? Anyway yh,was quite hard to trigger info in a nice way within the time frame. Ideally should've had a button press to trigger/escape the scrolls

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-11T20:24:31Z

@zowell It's worth noting. After you get to the minions it's not mandatory to collect the gold. I just wanted to make sure people got the mechanic before moving on in the early levels.

The bombs and the bosses are the part I'm most happy with :)

GreedyDude by Nnnnneeeedddd 2025-10-13T21:06:49Z

@someone tysm for playing!! If you die each chest adds to the "total possible" gold on restart. So you can only 100% if you don't die. It's a bug, I suspect you did indeed find all the chests.

I would say all your points are spot on! Thanks for the thorough playthrough 😂😂

Astraay by Ace17 2025-10-08T16:13:49Z

Woooooooooooooooooo I got all the pieces, took me ages to find the one behind the block.

VERY cool to see another person not using an engine (I have no problem with ppl using engines, but it's cool to see <3)

Nice bloom / normal maps etc.

Very nice audio / athmosphere.

Take all the stars!

Oh also, should probably be resizable, it's very dark, so you don't wanna have the contrast of your desktop brightness. Lucky for me, Alt-Enter worked for fullscreen!

Tiny Expeditions by bwalter 2025-10-07T02:14:41Z

Awesome game, you're getting so much more life out of flat 3D planes than I thought possible.

Audio is very nice, very relaxing :smile:

My favourite part was just being on the top of a mountain, looking out over the world

Overemployed Empire by JOrbits 2025-10-09T12:59:30Z

they're CALLING ME, and I'm RETIRED....

This is my favourite game so far. This is absolutely incredible work :rofl:

Hop, Skip, Jump by Jeremy Ryan 2025-10-08T16:55:01Z

Insanely innovative, doing this in 5 hours is so impressive :O

Relic Seekers by kayrum 2025-10-07T04:41:00Z

Love the style so much, I found all 5 pieces.

I do think you need a 'put down gently' feature, very hard to prep things, I couldn't get all the pieces on the plate without dying

Having Fun Yet? by NoahRo 2025-10-10T15:56:46Z

Like a 'You only have one' entry from Ludum Dare 28 (that was my first ever!).

Thanks for some nostalgia :laughing:

Piggybank goes forth by Flying Dog Fish 2025-10-08T15:37:11Z

So fun. I love 3D platformers (was thinking of doing one next actually), iconic game haha

"Money!" "Life!" "Ha. Ha!"

:rofl:

SheepSeek by Elmos Minion 2025-10-10T16:06:25Z

Yh, grapple is well done. There is a 'floatyness' to the movement, that I dont love. Audio could be improved, no real indication of impact when you hit stuff / get hurt.

Took me a while to realise I was shooting the sheep (that was my smolbrain tho), nice mechanic ;) works well with collector.

Sheepus had me laughing, my god that's a big sheep lol.

DDD: Thanks to the Power of Day Drinking I’ve Achieved God-Tier Cap Collection by MnemosyneVL 2025-10-08T21:18:54Z

The TV was kinda great, surprised there's no drink animation, outstanding work :rofl:

WYP by DGo 2025-10-14T13:01:07Z

Pretty awesome!

Skullk by picttarge 2025-10-10T15:42:52Z

Interesting, I'm intrigued by the tech, especially since there's a .wad involved, what happens if I switch it out for the DOOM wad I wonder :thinking:

Anyway, gameplay is a tad lacking, and I don't think LD game should require a controller really.

Level design was surprisingly good, spikes were a bit odd (sometimes hit me, sometimes didn't, not really sure how they 'work', I couldn't always just sprint over them).

LootRail - Scavenge, Survive, Profit by HexyVexy 2025-10-08T21:03:29Z

This is phenominal!

Gravelight by Adrien Tremblay 2025-10-07T01:52:24Z

So, I really liked the graveyard, kinda whacky you can half hit the grave next to the one you're descecrating.

I did find the gravekeeper guys a bit forgiving, they never really notice you. Nice job adding all the items you can take.

Not sure if this is just a Godot thing, but my windows toolbar was visible even though it was 'fullscreen', and I couldn't alt-tab, or window it or anything. I was worried some of the game could be hidden at the bottom for a while.

Anyway, very nice work :)

Ah, also, side-note: I didn't know which one was the windows download on ldjam.com. I think your linux one is x86_64, which I think of as a windows thing (ik it isn't :sweat_smile: ) Anyway, just put 'Windows' maybe

Jars for the Collector by BlackCat508 2025-10-08T22:14:02Z

HAH this is amazing, died on number 7. "Now reverse it" is brutalllll. Awesome game, congrats!

Blossom Fox by Patatje 2025-10-08T23:31:39Z

Very cool came, I keep getting 'respectfully rejected' aha, I can't multitask :rofl: thanks for making it!

Give me your name by LogovoStudio 2025-10-07T04:21:27Z

This was super awesome!! Had me genuinely terrified lol, i've been up all night, and it fit the delirium very well 10/10

Reapers' Toll by dualithe 2025-10-08T20:45:45Z

I thought the click once to fire, click again to retract thing was very interesting, went very against my instinct to spam click on things :D Awesome game, thanks for making it!

Canned by Nanaschi1984 2025-10-10T16:11:20Z

Ctrl didn't work for crouch, all other controls worked, anyone else get this issue?

Unreflows by Aincrad 2025-10-08T21:08:17Z

did you opt out of all categories?

Crazy Trashy by bearcage 2025-10-07T02:01:31Z

Having trouble using the collection arms (Q/E doesn't do anything, I can only drive, and run people over), I'll come back to this one before rating.

I must say I love the 2D aesthetic, with the harsh rising 3D buildings, I might steal that art style one day :thinking:

Give It Back! by Melissa Stodolnik 2025-10-08T15:47:19Z

Very nice graphics. Music is an absolute banger I must say. Very glitchy tho, if you press medium difficulty you win immediately. Bounding boxes were huuuuge.

Arpeggio by Emilija Marija 2025-10-10T16:26:28Z

So unlocking notes / mechanics is very nice in terms of 'collecting'

Graphics were excellent, love the parallax effect.

Some glitchy transitions between levels, the bit where you fall down to the bit with the moving platforms, I kept accidentally falling down there (it would switch level in an area where I would normally be able to jump out). Then I have to go all the way around to get back.

Nice game, thanks for making it!

Souls Keeper by basic_eagles 2025-10-08T16:32:13Z

I'm a big fan of movement games, and the style. However, I have two massive gripes, firstly for a movement game, you don't keep nearly enough momentum. Secondly, I would've played a lot longer if that demon that 'Has a choice for me' whenever I die didn't exist.

You should really just let the player restart as fast as possible in this style of game!!

Souls Keeper by basic_eagles 2025-10-08T17:01:27Z

@korzhik so, rope was very cool, but I think just too much air-control (too much drag/air-resistance potentially?), wall running is very well done

(Sidenote: I think I'm judging this harsher than I normally would, just because it's such an awesome game otherwise :wink: )

Relic Collector by Rasmax 2025-10-08T14:52:56Z

10/10 for mouth sound effects :rofl:

A1 MAS Collector by Boncebon 2025-10-08T16:03:44Z

I'm a MASSIVE fan of how it looks, want to make a game that looks like this someday :laughing: jump-scares were good, spider was awesome, but was disappointed it didn't do anything.

Was a tad underwhelmed when the first thing to interact with 'press E' just ended the game.

Also, the janky google drive download definitely added to the suspense, I think itch is the place to upload these these days really.

Total Recall: The Written Fragments by Daniel123 2025-10-08T21:50:25Z

never really played a text adventure, was a pretty interesting experience :)

Memories Collector by east147 2025-10-08T15:55:22Z

I feel suddenly enlightened :rofl: Thanks for making this, very nice art :)

Horror-Collector by coffeefly 2025-10-10T17:18:27Z

Pretty scary, my gf is here, so was trying to be cool :smile:

Is there an endgame? I didn't know what to do after the baby was on the wall.

Awesome jam game, thanks for making!

Cursed Labyrinth by Melomaner 2025-10-08T16:58:21Z

Nice voxel graphics!

SNoWay by skale 2025-10-08T15:25:23Z

Good work! The snow deformation + chromatic abberation were very nice effects. Ambient audio was very nice too. Got a little samey, wondering if you need a steeper difficulty curve.

Mamudo by GonulGaye 2025-10-10T15:50:53Z

Whacky ending. I thought it just needs a bit more 'to do', art is good, getting a lot of rendering glitches where tiles don't seem to align or something similar.

EMBERS WILDFIRE by einfach 2025-10-08T15:30:16Z

I like how there's so much lore to this. Although the intro was cut off screen, and I couldn't seem to fix that (do you have a 4k monitor perchance?).

I like rendering glitches, so, intro section was very vibey, gameplay was maybe lacking a bit.

Thanks for making it! Good luck in future games :smile:

Gold Grabber by F2_ 2025-10-08T15:43:09Z

Quite a solid platformer mechanic! Although I don't expect to stop instantly when I'm in the air if I let go of A/D (I used to do that in all my games too tho :rofl: ). You've clearly put some effort into refining it tho blocks all seem solid etc.
