Eraseregg by OddballDave 2013-04-29T15:19:00

The controls were purposely left a little rough so that the player has to really think about which parts of the level he can erase and still make it to the egg. Maybe I left them a bit too rough though.

shon by bitnenfer 2013-05-01T08:41:00

For such a simple mechanic this is really great. Good work.

SHOOT CAR, SHIT PANTS by JMickle 2013-04-29T14:18:00

Consider my pants shat.

Words by Andy Go 2013-05-01T08:48:00

It kept me interested enough to finish, and made me chortle in places. Interesting idea. Good work.

Squeezer by ticlekiwi 2013-05-02T07:44:00

Suffers from there being a lack of players at any given time, but once you get a few people playing it's quite fun. Good stuff.

Mind the Gap by shiprib 2013-05-08T15:57:00

I loved everything about this one. Great fun. Thank you.

Bezier Challenge by Travis Irby 2013-05-01T09:03:00

Nice game. Didn't make it to the end as I got stuck on one of the levels and couldn't figure out how to do it.

Leaf Me Alone by Claw 2013-05-01T09:50:00

Great work Mark. And great work on the audio Dave. This one has got the best music of the entries I've played so far.

Universe Decade Tycoon by Evilion 2013-08-29T13:34:00

Very interesting idea. I found it a little difficult to play on a trackpad, still fun though. Good stuff.

Dave's Marvelously Mediocre Game by OddballDave 2013-08-29T21:35:00

@Zap: You are entirely correct, I should credit the musician. I'll ask him his name and update :)

@mboaj: Yep, cheap keyboards aren't great at registering simultaneous presses. The game overcomes this by allowing players to take it in turn to play if your keyboard is cheap. This also means that you can have multiple tries if there are less than 26 players.

Count2Ten by mboaj 2013-08-29T13:23:00

This is very similar in concept to my entry. One suggestion to allow having more simultaneous key presses is to use the mouse buttons as well.

The Barrier by xrm0 2013-08-29T13:43:00

This game is soooo infuriating. I've got 9.9secs eight times, but can't get exactly 10secs. Aargh! Good stuff.

10 Seconds Minigames by FrozenCow 2013-08-29T12:58:00

This was fun. It started to lag really badly after a while, but that could have been at my end. Good stuff.

laserbug by OddballDave 2013-12-17T16:44:00

@grifdail: The beam must go through the target the exact number of times. No more, no less. If you believe it is then could I get a screenshot to help me find the issue.

Berathen Jam by Venks 2013-12-17T15:34:00

Fun distraction. Would have liked it if the games didn't repeat in a single run until I'd played them all, but that only a small gripe.

Sixteen in One by zatyka 2013-12-20T15:44:00

I wanted to complete it but I got stuck on the the level "Did we add half a dimension? Space will help.". Couldn't figure that one out.

The Ronin by ResonantCraft 2013-12-17T16:08:00

Very polished. Looks like it was made with mobile/tablets in mind and as such it was a little awkward on a laptop trackpad. Very good all-round entry.

Daddy Rises by 02fc.exe 2013-12-17T15:24:00

Needed a couple more ways to affect the gameplay. But nice attempt, especially if you threw it together in the last 2 hours.

0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-17T14:51:00

Wow, this my kinda game. Every aspect is well implemented, and I especially like the graphical style you went for. Good work.

Super Steve by Almax27 2013-12-20T14:59:00

Great graphics and sound. Was a little short, but not surprising considering the time restraint. Good work.

Series of tubes by 2kah 2013-12-21T20:55:00

I liked it. Good work.

Break Out! by CodeHat 2013-12-17T15:59:00

Really interesting concept. Strangely it reminds me of Glitch Tank. I'd like to see something similar in topdown perspective with the guards patrolling.

Revenge in Company by wdebowicz 2013-12-17T14:14:00

Beating people up on the toilet, what more does one need in a game!?

Metal Track by Azzar 2013-12-17T14:21:00

I get a "Bad file length" error. I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8

HotPotatoHorde by ludotrix 2013-12-17T15:48:00

Nice game. As others have said the graphics are great. I'm not sure the one gun mechanic added anything to the concept other than tying it into the theme though.

Reaccion 28 by Paco 2013-12-17T16:38:00

This is great fun. You combined the simple mechanics well to create engaging puzzles. Well done.

Surface Runner by OniiRam 2014-05-01T08:30:00

404 here too.

Series Of Choices by joe40001 2014-05-01T08:29:00

Good solid entry. Looks and sounds great. The platforming physics need to be refined a bit. The jump feels very floaty and there's a weird effect where you can jump higher if you aren't moving when you start to jump.

The Big Blue by Impmaster 2014-05-01T08:14:00

Good simple game, and the oxygen meter adds a nice touch of risk reward gameplay.

lightness of being by nesis 2014-05-01T08:59:00

I t y p e t o o s l o w l y t o b e a b l e t o p l a y t h i s g a m e . :(

Terror from beneath by v_n_j 2014-05-01T08:48:00

An interesting twist on the death/mega worm games. I feel it should give some indication where the worm is going to break the surface, maybe have a mound appear first. Could be fun multiplayer with some extra weapons/items if you continue development.

Rat King by woodenrabbit 2014-05-01T08:36:00

Fun little diversion. Occasionally I could get my mice to run in a big column in the right direction, but I couldn't figure out how I did it so most of the time they ran in the wrong direction.

NanoDog by mechabit 2014-05-01T15:55:00

Good fun. Was very easy though.

Divided by TeamOnBack 2014-05-07T10:59:00

Page not found :(

Demonic Reflection by warwax 2014-05-01T17:46:00

Nice game. Usually in these types of games you have to keep both characters alive so this was a nice twist. Level design does need some work as you could largely ignore the bottom character and concentrate on keeping the top one alive. Then your natural path to the door would lead to the bottom characters death without having to think much about it.

Hold On To Your Nuts by PartyBoat 2014-05-07T11:05:00

Nice fun entry. Very simple, but that's what makes it good fun.

Dive Deep by skppo 2014-05-07T11:10:00

This was fun and I really like the graphics. The controls felt a little too floaty to me, but all round a decent effort.

White Crash by OddballDave 2014-12-09T08:56:00

@MatthewHolland: Most of the graphics and audio where made before the jam so I opted out.

@MintArcade: The telekinetic is a bit fussy. It's probably catching on a branch or bump in the ground nearby.

ICE MAN by Incredible Ape 2014-12-13T20:43:00

My brain can't cope with this game. Good stuff though.

Reward Circuit by themushroomsound 2014-12-13T21:38:00

I played this for way longer than I should. Quite mesmerising. Good stuff.

Mossnaso by Mase 2014-12-13T21:12:00

I love this. I had a big smile on my face the whole time I was playing. Awesome stuff.

The Adventures of Entire Game and One Screen by papazoot 2014-12-13T21:07:00

Some really great concepts in here. Really enjoyed it. Good stuff.

Attack of the Screen Scrollers by drludos 2014-12-15T16:47:00

Great use of the theme, and enjoyable too. Good stuff.

Pony Island by Danman9914 2014-12-14T17:32:00

What did I just play?! I think it took my soul... And I liked it :)

Organ Crush Saga by Teesquared 2014-12-12T13:13:00

Interesting idea in having to match the stomach to the spleen, but i found the game too easy. I beat every time. One time the spleen even appeared in a win location.

Dauntless by Luthwyhn 2014-12-12T12:35:00

I like simplified roguelikes and this one is well implemented. I'd echo the requests above for more feedback on the players actions. Good stuff.

Eschaton by klave 2014-12-12T12:58:00

Nice game, but the image in the middle is all messed up on my machine. I'm using Safari. The words aren't in the circle and it never rotates Like in the screenshots.

Centipede by RetributionStudios 2014-12-12T12:40:00

The music was good, but as you say in the description it's a very simplistic game overall. Good stuff.

Orion by feiss 2014-12-14T17:15:00

Great game. It crashed for me at about stage one separation. The audio continued but the graphics froze. Good stuff though.

Cool The Cats! by aeveis 2014-12-15T16:43:00

This was fun. And avery interesting mechanic. Good stuff.

Temple Pop by Todd Luke 2015-04-22T15:32:00

Awesome art. And the little bobbing monk is cute as a button. I reloaded the page to see if I got a new set of 'prayer answers', but sadly they didn't change. Good stuff.

ＢＥＤ✰ＨＯＧＧ by 01010111 2015-05-06T13:55:00

This is a super polished entry and great work for 48 hours. The gameplay is fun too. All round fantastic entry. Good stuff.

Monster Detective Agency by OddballDave 2015-04-21T07:53:00

Thanks. I totally agree with all those points. The game mechanics are meant to be just an excuse to explore an interesting space. Given more time I'd have put in a lot more interesting interactions and events. The jump is need to find some of the secrets.

Monster Detective Agency by OddballDave 2015-04-22T07:38:00

The FPS issue is due to me running out of time before I could optimise things. I'll get round to fixing that in the next few days. I think I can do that within the rules.

@Tom & Todd - Bernband was a big inspiration for this game, and I had 24 Killers in mind whilst making this too. So thanks for playing guys. :)

Ice Story ( koori monogatari 氷物語 ) by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2015-04-28T18:20:00

Great art and music. The controls were a little clunky. Very interesting idea though. Good stuff.

DAGDROM by Ditto 2015-04-29T15:37:00

Excellent graphics, audio, and mood in this one for me. The controls were a little fiddly at times. It might be good to play with a gamepad. Great entry. Good stuff.

Blink Gun by Split82 2015-05-11T12:01:00

Great look and feel to this one. I love the roll when jumping. Good stuff.

Adventure Lamp by ryguydavis 2015-04-26T15:58:00

Surprisingly fun game. Great audio. Good stuff

Melter by Mase 2015-04-27T07:07:00

The art and audio are amazing in this. Just my kind of style. I found the game surprisingly hard considering the 'weapon' is really powerful. A great entry all round though. Good stuff.

Nasal Defense Force 2033 by ShuddaHaddaLottaFun 2015-05-01T17:48:00

The brain bit was great fun. I'd have been happy with just that part. Art and audio are cool too. Good stuff.

Beacons by Xanjos 2015-05-11T17:14:00

From the description I thought this was going to be easy but it's deceptively hard. Clever idea and a solid entry. Good stuff.

Square Sprint by jackrugile 2015-05-11T11:54:00

This has a very satisfying whoosh when moving. Really interesting idea. I felt it needed an online high score table, but a solid entry even without. Good stuff.

Fathom by Joe Williamson 2015-05-08T07:31:00

Awesome graphics. Great audio. I found the mechanic of controlling bullets a bit clunky. Often the thing I wanted to aim them at was off screen. But all-in-all a wonderful entry. Good stuff.

Nuclear Autumn by phi6 2015-04-27T20:42:00

Great art, music and general mood. I found some of the dash/wall jumps a bit hard, but that's probably because I'm rubbish at this type of game. Super entry. Good stuff.

Hug Arena by Benjamin 2015-05-06T14:13:00

This is very fun and a surprising amount of skill/strategy is needed. I didn't get any sound at all on my Mac, is there sound? A great entry. Good stuff.

Badass Inc by deepnight 2015-04-26T07:47:00

Amazing art. And a lot of content for 48 hours. Good stuff.

I'm sorry, I'm jealous by igoramendola 2015-05-01T17:58:00

The game is nice, even if Amanda isn't. The deducing who to attack is similar in concept to my entry which was a pleasant surprise. Solid entry. Good stuff.

Fatal Attraction by erbridge 2015-05-06T14:36:00

I love gravity games and this one is a little different. I also like that you can score yourself on time or top speed. Good stuff.

carena by TomBoogaart 2015-04-26T15:17:00

This is manic. Great sense of chaos. Would be interesting to try this local multiplayer. Good stuff.

Wounded by Words by Traumendes_Madchen 2015-04-22T16:30:00

That certainly was a lot of words. Very impressive amount of work for 72 hours. Good stuff.

Lalyvilley by From Smiling 2015-04-28T18:09:00

Great entry. Some humorous text. love the art. Good stuff.

Glasses Protector 2000 by leafo 2015-05-06T14:19:00

I really suck at rhythm games and this game proves that. I was hopeless at it :( Great entry though. Good stuff.

Her Majesty's Apathy Bomb by ianburnette 2015-05-11T14:21:00

Loved it. Loved all of it. Great entry. Good stuff.

Dr. U and the bottomless PIT by farwyler 2015-05-11T11:46:00

Great entry. Fun to play. Good stuff.

Jenny and Magic Lamps by Alsatian Studio 2015-04-22T16:23:00

"Don't let men touch you ;)" - Words we could all do to live by. Good stuff.

The Rock the Paper and the Scissors by BIZM 2015-05-06T14:05:00

Wow! this is such a polished entry. I found it got really hard fairly quickly, but maybe I'm just being a bit rubbish. Great work. Good stuff.

Crookman by wearehomebound 2015-04-22T15:22:00

I liked it. And I beat the intruder. Interesting idea. Would have liked to have found something in every location I searched and had it more about which combos work best, but that's only a small gripe. Good stuff.

Aora, Spirit of Nature by Archive Studios 2015-04-22T16:03:00

I really liked the eagle weapon(?), and that giant frog was hilarious. Good stuff.

Super SALT Helmet by DarkwindMedia 2015-04-23T21:05:00

I love party games and this does a very good job of it. Good stuff.

SNIFF by dyfer 2015-05-06T14:26:00

Good scores all round. I also think this concept has some legs and could be expanded to something akin to Antichamber or Stanley Parable. Good stuff.

Joe by Chris Olsen 2015-04-23T06:54:00

This game looks amazing. Top marks for graphics and animation. And all the little touches like particles and flickering light really adds to it. That said I found the controls a bit fiddly, which caused me a lot of needless deaths. Overall though a great entry. Good stuff.

SUPAPOWAH by Bananaft 2015-04-26T15:10:00

The player shadow with the big hat is inspired, and the sound is great. It really fits the game. Good stuff.

Copycat by Terry 2015-05-06T13:37:00

Interesting concept and well executed. A solid entry. Good stuff.

The Reviewer by kyyrma 2015-04-26T15:26:00

A really unique and interesting concept. I enjoyed it even if I wasn't very good at it. Good stuff.

The Landscape Processor by Simon 2015-05-06T13:50:00

This was an odd entry. I like odd entries. I like this. Good stuff.

Hybris by Benjamin 2016-01-04T23:49:00

Loved it. Probably my favourite entry. Good stuff.

tuinvrouw by TomBoogaart 2015-12-14T13:20:00

Excellent entry as always. Was a little confusing, but I suppose discovery is what the game is all about so a little confusion is ok.

Concrete Jungle by Miltage 2015-12-14T12:20:00

Great entry. Fits the theme well. The time lapse and vine effects were excellent. The game was just the right length for the amount of content. SPOILER: When the vine flowered at the end I would have liked the camera to stop there, but that's a minor nit pick.

Express Bonsai Cultivator by OddballDave 2015-12-14T14:10:00

@Jwatt: Thanks. I have a ton of Move controllers too. They're just so cheap these days it'd be a crime not to have a few lying around. Anyway let me know what you think of the game once you've come out of the closet with that Move controller.

CLON by Boberro 2015-12-16T21:53:00

Ah, the classic light cycles. It's a decent version too. Good stuff.

Bonsai Growth Simulator by cjacobwade 2015-12-14T13:29:00

Great entry. How I was affecting the growth was confusing at first, but I got the hang of it. We had very similar ideas. My entry is about growing bonsai too.

Wrecking Bull by srimech 2015-12-16T21:37:00

Love breakout and this is a great version. Good stuff.

QUACK! QUACK! Save the duck! by zebi24 2015-12-16T21:46:00

Very unusual. Took me a few goes to fully understand it, but I got there in the end. Good stuff.

Witchgarden Leafiosa by phi6 2015-12-16T22:46:00

Outstanding graphics, and great audio. The crafting was a little frustrating when non of the combos where working and I'd have to keep going back and forth to restock. Other than that it's a great entry. Good stuff.

Floppy Frog by walaber 2015-12-15T16:17:00

My fingers hurt. In a good way.

B O N S A I by Okinawa_Terminal 2015-12-17T14:05:00

Great entry. I also made a bonsai growing themed game for LD34 so I was very interested to check this out. I like your scripting approach to generating the tree shape. Good stuff.

MILK TEETH by Rufson 2016-01-04T23:28:00

I played this for far too long. Good stuff.

FRUITWOLF by Claw 2015-12-16T22:19:00

Awesome entry as usual from you guys. Great art, great audio, just great all round. Good stuff.

Biota by bytegrove 2016-05-04T21:22:00

I love this kind of procedural stuff. I'd be happy to play around with a full blown version of this. I hope you expand on it.

Good stuff.

The Deronois by Griz 2016-04-19T10:53:00

Nice idea. Like the graphics. I wanted to see more which is good.

*Thumbs up*

Brutally Shifty Dance Crew by Franklin's Ghost 2016-05-01T20:22:00

Great graphics and interesting audio.

Good stuff.

Shape Rave by MintArcade 2016-05-01T20:17:00

Starts very slow, but once it gets going is quite challenging and fun.

Good stuff.

I'm Scree! by Jimjam 2016-05-04T21:28:00

Nice fun entry. Really like the graphics. Had fun playing.

Good stuff.

Wood for the Trees by ratking 2016-05-04T22:02:00

Great looking entry. I got stuck in the end so didn't manage to finish it. But enjoyed what I did see.

Good stuff.

aucguy by aucguy 2016-05-01T20:28:00

I found it very confusing. I don't think I'm cut out for this game. Really interesting mechanic though. And executed well enough.

Good stuff.

Dice Delve by lanestp 2016-05-04T22:25:00

I really like the idea of this one. I really wanted more variety. I'd play a more fleshed out version of this.

Good stuff.

Exhuman by Arvydas 2016-05-04T22:12:00

Beautiful looking entry. I found it a little hard to control. Fun game.

Good stuff.

Shape Shifts by htspencer88 2016-05-04T21:35:00

It took me a while to get the hang of it. Nice game.

Good stuff.

False Game by PoV 2017-08-03T09:16:59Z

Shame this is marked as unfinished. I felt it had a great chance of winning.

Henry the Electrician by Neweichgames 2017-08-16T12:24:58Z

Great little fun game. But boy did that music make me want to rip my ears off.

Lost in Translation at Space by elmismopancho 2017-08-16T12:34:39Z

Great idea. Great execution. Great job. It kept thinking I said 'hope' instead of 'help', but the other commands worked fine. Well done!

Reroute Reboot by OddballDave 2017-12-05T14:37:33Z

Thanks @tuism I pretty much agree with everything you said. I really struggled with the interface design and due to time in the end I had to go with something that wasn't perfect. It caused me to miss out getting other features in such as alerts and multiplayer. 48 hours just wasn't enough time to work out the issues.

Reroute Reboot by OddballDave 2017-12-06T08:45:24Z

@smilewood Glad you understood the interface, as @tuism said a drag bar would probably have been better. For the theme I thought you'd be frantically clicking all over the more access points you captured, but it didn't work out like that. To be honest I'm glad, the frantic clicking thing would have been less fun. The AI is limited, that was another thing that I ran out of time before getting it properly into the game.

Reroute Reboot by OddballDave 2017-12-18T11:07:43Z

@ava-skoog The easiest way to understand it is to forget the whole network/hacking thing. Manchester is your base, it is making dots for you and sending them down the lines. If you click on Manchester you can use the panel in the bottom right to decide where the dots it makes go. If you click all the dots next to Madrid, like the image up top, all the dots made will be sent to Madrid. You can now click Madrid and do the same thing except send all the dots to Dakar. After a few seconds you'll have captured Dakar, and you can repeat the process to capture other places. But remember if you are sending all your dots down one line you are vulnerable to attack down other lines. Happy hacking.

Reroute Reboot by OddballDave 2017-12-20T17:47:42Z

@osterzone Try maxing out Madrid>Dakar>Lagos as quickly as possible at the start. But remember to spread your Data Packets back out afterwards.

Reroute Reboot by OddballDave 2017-12-23T08:51:39Z

@gerox Your right. Added it now. Thanks

Orbits by tuism 2017-12-15T21:00:20Z

YES! This is my kind of game. Loved it. Reminds me a bit of 0rbitalis, which is a good thing in my book. As far as quibbles, I found the planets bumping into each other a little annoying, but I suppose that fits the theme, and I'd have also liked to be able to change the mouse sensitivity as I'm playing on trackpad. I'm gonna break out my mouse and have another go. Great stuff.

Mallio Cart by Ava Skoog 2017-12-20T11:52:17Z

This game put me on edge. I hate Christmas shopping and this was like a nightmare shopping trip. I really struggled with the thieves, I wasn't able to prevent a them nicking my stuff no matter how much I tried to slap them. Not sure what I was doing wrong there. Everything else, graphics, sound, gameplay, etc, was spot on though. It's a great entry. Excellent stuff.

Samurai Shaver by DDRKirbyISQ 2017-12-20T20:54:38Z

Great art, great music, simple but fun gameplay. What's not to like. Great stuff.

Tactical Marshmallows by applejam 2017-12-20T15:28:17Z

A neat little tower defence game. Great art and sound, and it has a lot of character. Good stuff.

Project Lucy by Aviland 2017-12-22T13:29:34Z

My score was 16696 at the end. I think I found and spoke to everyone. In the end I sobered up and it ended. My score kept increasing after the game had ended though. The interactions were fun and were the best part of the game. A very good all round entry. Great stuff.

Speed Skier by JoshyOshKenoshi 2017-12-21T14:17:20Z

Fun little game. Has a SkiFree vibe to it. It was a little short, just as I was getting into my stride I reached the bottom. An all round good entry. Great stuff.

DO NOT FEED by Zorg 2017-12-15T21:04:59Z

This is a nice little time waster. It really needs some kind of scoring system to really hold the player, but it's a good concept. Chasing the pidgeons was a lot of fun. Good stuff.

Rebel Call by SeanNoonan 2017-12-20T15:04:38Z

Visually this is spot on. Captures the setting perfectly and in a very minimalist manner. Great audio too. And a lot of fun to play. I don't have any quibbles with it at all. Yea this is a really good compo entry. Great stuff.

Goodnight Sheep by littlecloudflower 2017-12-20T20:48:31Z

I didn't think I was going to enjoy this but I really did. I found it intriguing and was quickly sucked in by the narrative. Great stuff.

Get to the CHOPPA! by Girts Kesteris 2017-12-20T12:05:37Z

Maximum points for humour. Hilarious Arnie impression too. The 3rd person controls felt a bit off, but i got used to them in the end. Great stuff.

Hey, Hugo! by OddballDave 2018-08-15T09:35:51Z

@mightycode So you spotted the Locoroco influence. :wink:

@alpinus4 Added a webGL build just for you. :thumbsup:

Thanks :8ball:

Hey, Hugo! by OddballDave 2018-08-17T19:58:10Z

@cope So you might say that you ran out of space :point_left: :wink:

I'll show myself out :8ball:

Hey, Hugo! by OddballDave 2018-08-18T07:47:08Z

@tattomoosa That'll be a bug. I know instantly what I've done wrong, but it'll have to stay for now. :8ball:

Encroaching by Ava Skoog 2018-08-15T08:01:21Z

Loved it. I won, I think. Nice touch having your previous selves still lying on the floor. The audio and graphics were very atmospheric and set a really good mood. This is a great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Backpack Squire by Squid 2018-08-16T20:36:39Z

That was a lot of fun. I like the graphics. It was a bit odd that you can move the objects around after they are placed in the bag. I also liked that you never see who the red knight is fighting.

Good stuff :8ball:

Sofamino by shide 2018-08-16T11:15:18Z

Ha, that wasn't what I was expecting at all! But in a good way. I thought it was going to be a standard room re-arranger, but it's much more than that. Graphics, sound, and gameplay are all done very well.

Good stuff :8ball:

Get Off My Lawn by silkworm_sweatshop 2018-08-15T07:26:48Z

Great game. I scored you highly in most aspects. The whole thing works pretty well together. I didn't really use the mouse aim, I just kept my guy facing in one direction. Love the graphics. A very fun distraction.

Good stuff :8ball:

Chroma Jump by crazi456 2018-08-15T08:06:26Z

The concept is really good. There's a full game lurking somewhere in the main mechanics. I got a lot of graphical glitches like the player flipping upside down and inside out. Overall a solid entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Where the Cloud Lives by Tattomoosa 2018-08-15T07:48:07Z

Fun game. I played all the way through to the promotion ending. I thought the length for that was about right. It fits the theme really well, has great graphics, and I really liked the music.

Good stuff :8ball:

Space Opera by t-mw 2018-08-16T20:51:10Z

This is a very interesting concept and I think it could be expanded into an excellent little mobile game. I kind of liked the having to work out what was needed to complete each level and it held my interest long enough for me to complete the game. The graphics were function and the sound was really good for the most part. All-in-all a wonderful entry.

good stuff :8ball:

Rebound by Greyo 2018-08-19T20:19:57Z

I really enjoyed this. The puzzles are really good. It held my attention enough for me to want to complete it.

Good stuff :8ball:

Space Billiards by mshopf 2018-08-17T12:47:13Z

It's fun in a chaotic kind of way. The players planet should be more distinguishable from the others. Once you get to grips with what's going on it's a very enjoyable game. I had fun.

Good stuff :8ball:

Pre Alpha Build by PlusMinus 2018-08-15T09:50:53Z

Great entry. It was good fun to play. Excellent use of the theme. I wanted right click to rotate the buildings, but that's a minor grape. Graphics and audio were good. There's nothing bad to say about it.

Good stuff :8ball:

No Space In My Stomach by Roman Petrov 2018-08-17T18:47:52Z

The graphics are amazing. I love that snail. The controls could do with a little bit of work. The jump felt weird and not moving along with the moving platforms was unintuitive. The puzzle were good once you figure which seeds turn off which platforms.

Good stuff :8ball:

Cluttered Mind by HAUO 2018-08-17T13:00:26Z

I loved this, especially the art style. It reminded me very much of those old towlr games, but a lot more polished. Played it until the end, and had lots of fun doing so. Great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Pyramidion by Matank 2018-08-15T09:57:48Z

A very solid entry. I had fun enough to play it through to completion. I liked the graphics style. It definitely nailed the theme.

Good stuff :8ball:

Stock Up! by DriagonV 2018-08-15T10:03:54Z

It's a fun little game. I'd have preferred the character and collectables to have been a bit smaller to give you a better chance each go, but it was nice overall especially if it's your first game.

Good stuff :8ball:

101 Ways to Die in Alpha Complex by OddballDave 2018-12-05T08:55:22Z

@drevilbrain The Computer asked me to tell you that **[REDACTED]**, **[REDACTED]**, and **[REDACTED]** are prohibited. So you should immediately **[REDACTED]** in the **[REDACTED]** with a **[REDACTED]**. Failure to do so is treason and punishable by death.

I hope that makes things clearer.

101 Ways to Die in Alpha Complex by OddballDave 2018-12-05T22:14:40Z

@silkworm-sweatshop You have to find the High-Programmer. He spends his time in the Ultraviolet zone. The Ultraviolet zone is white with a violet accent(Like his jumpsuit). But of course you don't have access to the Ultraviolet zone, and therein lies the problem. It's possible, just search for any *unusual* features. :8ball:

101 Ways to Die in Alpha Complex by OddballDave 2018-12-08T23:19:17Z

@ava-skoog Thanks for your comments. The question mark ending is due to there actually being three endings.

**SPOILER** _Following the computer's wishes gets you Blue clearance(Computer wins), but if you do things a little differently you can also get Ultraviolet clearance(You win) or even destroy the computer(Computer loses)._ **END SPOILER**

101 Ways to Die in Alpha Complex by OddballDave 2018-12-14T14:21:18Z

@themadprogramer Well if you're going to destroy the computer then everything will crash. Joking aside, the intention was to have all the computer screens go off and have all the doors open after you destroy the computer, but I ran out of time and a hard quit seemed like a fitting end. I also didn't have time to make a model/texture for the computers circuits hence it just being a black space where you can destroy them.

Zeus Needs Omelettes by rjhelms 2018-12-15T22:21:58Z

This is good fun. I like the mechanic of balancing the anger of two factions. I'd have liked a bit more of a zoomed out view, but other than that it's a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

F.O.U.R. by Ava Skoog 2018-12-05T22:50:15Z

Wow! Bravo. That was amazing. Loved all of it. In fact I didn't score any of it less than 4.5 :star: This deserves to do really well. Great presentation, great execution, and just the right amount of gameplay for a jam game. :8ball:

I Am Free by marvalgames 2018-12-19T08:36:02Z

A very interesting concept. I don't think I've seen anything with this combination of mechanics before. With some extra ways to hamper the enemies, some more varied enemy types, and a few environmental hazards, this could be a full blown game. Good stuff :8ball:

Party Card Game by red 2018-12-21T10:45:07Z

Once I understood the rules I became unbeatable and my army stretched well beyond the bounds of my computer screen. When I first read the rules I was wondering where the strategy could come from, but once I actually started to play it's surprisingly tactical. This has the makings of a fun little mobile PvP game. I enjoyed this game more and more as I played on. My only quibble is that the AI needs to be better, it's no match for a committed human player. Good stuff :8ball:

Consilium - A history of life and choices by Gaming Night 2018-12-14T14:16:06Z

Nice and relaxing game. Well presented and pretty intuitive. It does need a bit more interaction to take it to that next level. But all-in-all a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Sacrifice Them by velvetlobster 2018-12-05T22:24:53Z

This was really interesting and very different. I don't think I've ever played anything like it. Love the graphics and the audio is great. I played for quite a while. Good stuff. :8ball:

Bummed OUT! by boyTurnedRobot 2018-12-19T08:43:55Z

Great. I loved it. Twin-stick shooters are my thing though so I'm a little biased. It's well made and plays nicely. I had a lot of fun playing. Thanks. Good stuff :8ball:

Goblinz Demizess by Lodugh 2018-12-06T14:57:10Z

This was good fun. I like these kind of games. It does need a bit more variation on the daily events. I kept getting the same thing. Graphics are great, and the story was well done. Good stuff :8ball:

Golden ticket to heaven by jac_B 2018-12-20T08:10:32Z

I really like the art and music on this one. The controls were a bit fiddly to begin with, but once I'd got the hang of them it was quite easy to play. Good stuff :8ball:

Trials of K'zhak by DrEvilBrain 2018-12-05T11:45:27Z

I really liked the audio. The game was fun to play. I found a technique of attack->dodge that let me go quite deep. The whole sacrifice mechanic and concept was really well thought out and done. Had issues with the HTML5 version where key inputs were not registering, but no such problems with the Mac download.

Good stuff :8ball:

Birds in Space by PopDaddyGames 2018-12-05T12:06:17Z

Great art, great audio, and a nice chill experience. It took me a while to understand all the different elements of the game. I enjoyed it.

Good stuff :8ball:

Making Ends Meet by agwblack 2018-12-19T08:25:56Z

This is very good. Simply but fun. Fits the theme perfectly and as someone who has to balance the family budget I feel this family's struggle. Is the game beatable? I tried a couple of times but couldn't get close. It's a bit depressing if it isn't. Good stuff :8ball:

SacrificeSimulator2018 by Stames 2018-12-12T09:10:23Z

I think I'm getting old. My brain couldn't recall the combinations fast enough. It's really quite fun though once you finally get a rhythm going. Good stuff :8ball:

Dovregubben by Ava Skoog 2019-04-30T10:59:06Z

This is so wonderfully frustrating. I tried so many times to survive long enough for the sun to rise. Is it possible or am I just terrible at it? Love the graphics, and that music sets me on edge whilst the troll is breathing down my neck. I'm determined to survive so I'm going back in for more punishment. Wish me luck.

Good stuff :8ball:

Death Alley by DuzzOnDrums 2019-05-01T10:40:26Z

Everything is so well done in this game. The graphics are totally my kind of thing. Audio was great. Loved the characters. At first I didn't like the bowling mechanic, but once I got the hang of it I started to really enjoy it. This is a really top notch entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Kill'em by Aycan 2019-04-29T13:50:09Z

This was loads of fun. I like the two layered nature of the strategy. It's not always in your best interests to win every hand. I could see this being expanded upon with all manner of different cards and rules. Great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Bill the Paper Plane by Ehrest 2019-04-29T11:39:17Z

Amazing art style. It's a clever idea and looked really great. I felt the plane should bank (excuse the pun) when turning to give it that paper plane authenticity. The gameplay was fun if a little simplistic, but as you were short of time that can be excused. A solid entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Transfert by p0nce 2019-04-29T08:56:43Z

In the description it says it's possible to win, but I can only move so far along the level before it appears there's no way to continue. Am I missing something? I was having lots of fun with this and really wanted to finish it. Either way I really like how you've done the graphics, and the music was very moody.

Good stuff :8ball:

Timing of Ignatius by Danielk 2019-04-30T10:27:01Z

An interesting idea. Having both the enemies and player have their lives on a timer really makes it, and the core mechanic really comes into its own when you reach the first boss. That's when it clicked for me why this mechanic worked. I had a lot of fun playing this game.

Good stuff :8ball:

Cyborg Highway by Pyrian 2019-05-01T08:34:33Z

This is brilliant! When I got knocked off a car but landed safely on the car that just happened to be passing I was so pumped. It's a great take on the Frogger mechanic. Thanks for a really fun entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

utsvulten by ditto 2019-04-29T08:44:34Z

I didn't know what to expect from the limited info supplied, but wow did it blow away those expectations I didn't have. This is my kind of thing. The little 'twist' was well handled. The graphics are top notch and fit the game really well. The audio was great, and really set the tone. I had fun, and it turns out I'm a great friend.

Awesome work :8ball:

TwT by OddballDave 2019-10-07T20:38:03Z

Okay, I'll try. :8ball:

TwT by OddballDave 2019-10-09T12:23:45Z

@silkworm-sweatshop I hope you carried on making a bit more money after you took that screenshot. I'd hate for you to have missed anything after playing for so long. :wink:

@jupiter-hadley Thanks for playing it. I also noticed that the info panels weren't showing in your video. Turns out there was a bug and none of them were showing. So thanks for helping me spot that.

@hajden Thanks for playing. I don't know much about clicker games either. I got the idea from that Candy Box game that went viral about 5 years ago.

@velvetlobster Thanks. Not sure the mobile market needs another clicker game though.

Keep clicking guys :8ball:

TwT by OddballDave 2019-10-25T14:15:16Z

@catusfelony It should use your local currency, and nothing in the game says it's set in the US. You merely get to buy the US election at one point, just like Russia did in 2016 :wink:

Anyway it's all in good fun :8ball:

Aggressive Realtor by Pete 2019-10-25T13:49:16Z

It's a simple game, but I still clicked it for far too long. I was determined to get a 10^9 property down.

Good stuff :8ball:

Deep Station Fine by ancient-pixel 2019-10-23T10:23:55Z

Interesting idea, and presented really well. It seemed to meander a lot, so I couldn't really tell if I was making progress, and eventually I lost interest in the story. I think something as simple as changing text colours when different people were speaking would have helped a lot. Having said all that I did play for quite a while.

Good stuff :8ball:

Dive Dog by eva 2019-10-23T10:11:16Z

Nice concept, and Minesweeper will always be fun. There was too much guessing for my liking. I understand creating a level generator that eliminated guessing would have been out of the scope of a jam, but it would have been nice to have some other mechanic to alleviate the issue. Maybe a few lives per level would have helped. Either way I had fun with it.

Good stuff :8ball:

The Whispering Forest by Mathstr0fficial 2019-10-26T21:56:26Z

Absorbing idea. It drew me in and compelled me to keep exploring. Not sure the ending was a satisfying enough payoff for what had gone before, but I know how jam games go. This would be a good hook/intro to a bigger game.

Good stuff :8ball:

A Simple Cube by Xenation 2019-10-25T13:59:12Z

This really wasn't what I thought it was going to be from looking at the screenshots. And when I first saw the cube move I was sure I was going to hate it, but I was wrong. There's something strangely fascinating about the janky cube controls. The the direction buttons being offset from the direction of motion, coupled with the behaviour of the cube when it not aligned with the cardinal directions. This is a far more nuanced game than it first appears. Thank you for sharing.

Good stuff :8ball:

Shuǐmòhuà by olddadou 2019-10-26T21:08:48Z

Yea, this is straight up the coolest Ludum Dare entry I've tried. Very impressive. Everything worked great. Wouldn't change a thing. Simple as that really, I have nothing constructive to add. Thank you.

Deliv' 51 by Larnin 2019-10-23T09:46:30Z

I love the graphics, and the way they are presented. It was an unusual decision to use flat sprites and then have the camera at an angle, but I really like the aesthetic it produces. The audio is what really hammers the mood home. It reminded me of old Simpsons episodes where Kang and Kodos would turn up. The gameplay is simplistic, but more than enough for a jam game. The premise fits the theme pretty well. I ended up having quite a few goes.

Good stuff :8ball:

The beginning of the end by Thomas_Bringer 2019-10-25T12:19:47Z

Very nice game. Some good puzzles, especially given it's a 48 hour game. Great graphics and the audio really gets the mood going. I found the up/down controls a little awkward, but that's a minor gripe. I'd figured the reverse twist was coming before the end and was hoping to see all my moves play out backwards(forwards?) at the end, but I guess that was asking a bit much for 48 hours. Very enjoyable all the same.

Good stuff :8ball:

Greta by jihem 2019-10-23T10:29:10Z

Nice, simple game. Exactly what you need in a jam game. Easy to pick up and play. I had plenty of fun. My highest score was 175!

Good stuff :8ball:

バクラウBloodless by Danilo Freire 2019-10-26T21:26:01Z

This is really polished and stylish. It oozes quality, and it has a solid mechanic and game loop to back it up. I predict this will score very highly indeed. Well done team.

Good stuff :8ball:

Nothing is my car ! by T-Bo 2019-10-26T21:15:47Z

Very simple idea, but very compelling to play. I was really determined to complete my car. Music loop was maybe to short, but the rest of the audio was fine. I had plenty of fun with this one.

Good stuff :8ball:

The Last Word by stasm 2019-10-25T13:07:55Z

This. Game. Hurts. My. Brain! I got an actual headache playing this game, seriously. Great game. The concept is brilliant. When the lava appeared and I need to start combining rules that's what sold me on the mechanic.

Good stuff :8ball:

Out of insight by Dina 2019-10-23T09:55:42Z

That audio is creepy as hell, and the graphics fit well. The main mechanic was easy enough to understand, but trying to match the colour got really difficult really quickly for me.

Good stuff :8ball:

Life Starts With Nothing by NoobDev 2019-10-25T13:24:10Z

You did well juicing up the simple graphics, it gave the game its own personality. Some nice audio in there too. The controls were good and meant the game felt like a fair challenge.

Good stuff :8ball:

Leverage by BilalCh213 2019-10-25T14:09:03Z

Very interesting idea. And it's all presented really well. Everything seemed to work together well and there was a nice sense of progression.

Good stuff :8ball:

What the Hell! by Mikado 2019-10-25T11:42:00Z

Well, there's some nice, simple fun. I didn't think it was too difficult at all. A nice variety of enemies, that worked well together.

Good stuff :8ball:

Sand&Sea by CaptAndrey 2019-10-25T11:32:28Z

I don't think I've ever seen a game like this before. Interesting concept. Has a great vibe to it, helped mainly by the audio. It was somehow relaxing and frantic at the same time.

Good stuff :8ball:

Infinite Dreams by OddballDave 2020-10-06T19:25:23Z

I've been reading all the comments to Pixie. I'm not sure that she understands that people we don't know are playing the game and commenting.

@cinar The game or Pixie?

@pixelmoose-studio Thanks.

@newbiedev I let Pixie know you liked her bit.

@supergamersgames We did as much as we could in the time we had.

@darthdeus The animation came out better than I expected for such a simple effect.

@julius-vander-arend Pixie was happy with your comments.

@linus-lindberg Pixie loved taking part.

@wiredsound Your comment made Pixie smile.

@noahw Didn't think anyone would notice the hitchhikers reference.

@dranjohn Ha! It wasn't really meant to be a jump scare, but I didn't have time to put in a proper transition so it ended up that way.

@jack-mordred I should use itch.io more. Kind of just throw my free stuff on there and forget about it. I bet there's tons of good stuff on there.

Thanks everyone :8ball:

Memory Lane by Ava Skoog 2020-10-06T10:44:12Z

This is really polished. Great look, sound, and feel to it. I'm a big fan of Braid so was able to grasp the mechanics quickly. Excellent entry as always.

Good stuff :8ball:

Hell Loop by Darthdeus 2020-10-07T10:52:25Z

Getting a strong Lemmings vibe from this one. It's great fun killing(?) all those poor souls. I could see this as a fun mobile clicker game with loads of interesting ways to kill the souls.

Good stuff :8ball:

you are dead by noahw 2020-10-07T11:04:02Z

Loving the mood of this one. Great visuals, Great audio, and it all worked well together. I managed to _escape_. The only gripe I had was I would have preferred spacebar to row. Great entry though.

Good stuff :8ball:

while(true) by Noah Kuhn 2020-10-07T13:20:34Z

I like the concept, and it was fun to play. I think the difficulty could ramp up quicker. Once you get the mechanic there's a period where it's far too easy. A pretty solid all round entry though.

Good stuff :8ball:

Nirvana by dranjohn 2020-10-07T11:13:53Z

@blubberquark You can swap the left and right thruster controls if you press [Tab] on keyboard or (Select) on controller.

Boots & Booty by Ava Skoog 2021-04-27T10:10:48Z

Great game as always. The visuals and audio are brilliant. Touches like the coffee mug, seagulls, and little rumbles here and there really set the mood. First time I got the turbulence from the whale(?) was another great moment. I liked that what was happening outside the window was actually secondary/redundant where gameplay was concerned and the game was completely played on the little displays in the game.

Downsides? Maybe the grabber minigame was a little too easy. I didn't fail it once or perhaps I'm just that good at games. To be honest though I couldn't really fault it.

Good stuff :8ball:

Deep Space by Neowedge 2021-05-15T20:26:12Z

This is a solid entry. I had fun playing it. Gameplay is simple and easy to understand. There's lots of scope for player choice and in turn various tactics/play styles. Is there an ending? I feel like I got pretty far. I think I'll go have another try.

Good stuff :8ball:

Minexile by legavroche 2021-05-12T13:24:03Z

The audio had an eerie sci-fi vibe to it. Not sure if that was the intention, but it really added to the mood. The visuals are nice if a little basic. The mechanics all seem sound enough and it's pretty well balanced considering it's a jam game. Looks like you all put a lot of work into this, and you've done a fine job.

good stuff :8ball:

Under Pressure by OadT 2021-05-16T19:45:42Z

I spent longer than I care to admit building a sub capable of reaching the bottom. It was lots of fun too. My only suggestion is to put a label on each engine with the key that controls it. That would help when the sub tumbles. Great entry overall though.

Good stuff :8ball:

Wormholes by DarLam 2021-05-12T13:11:45Z

It took me a while to understand the portal mechanic. I don't think I've seen anything like that before. Having to pass through at a set speed was really interesting to me. I played all the way to the end, but I don't think that mechanic alone is enough to justify the length. It's well made and the graphics are good.

Solid entry :8ball:

Penguins can't fly by Attala 2021-05-16T20:58:13Z

Well if that isn't the cutest unconscious penguin I ever did see. This is one of those simple concept that's really hard to master. Kinda like a flappy bird. The cute graphics really fit and the audio was good too. Not really got anything negative to say. It's executed really well.

Good stuff :8ball:

Deep Space by Too_Lazy_Cat 2021-05-16T20:50:02Z

Ha! This is kinda wacky and whimsical. I have to admit that from looking at the screenshots I thought the game was going to be very basic. But there's quite a bit going on and it has a lot of character. It starts off feeling a little unfair but once you get your head around how to play it becomes more challenging than unfair. This one is a little hidden gem.

Good stuff :8ball:

Deep Cover by Madbarron 2021-05-13T09:39:17Z

Wow! You all put a lot of work into this. Great job. I love the cut out style. Artwork was great. Audio was great. Plot was fun and engaging. I noticed a couple of areas that could have done with a bit of extra work but more than forgivable given the final entry. And you got me lol at the IT Crowd reference so well done for that. This is probably my favourite entry I've played so far.

This is good for a jam game. I like the visuals, and the audio was really good. I had plenty of fun playing. The game did crash when my minions reached the portal on level 6 though. My only suggestions would be more variety, but I'm guessing you figured that already and as it's a jam it's easily forgivable.

Town of Monsters by lesinvisible 2021-05-16T20:37:09Z

I'm getting some serious TROIKA! vibes from this entry, which is awesome. The art is great and the voice acting was brilliant. Combined they form a really off-kilter mood that works so well to draw the player into this weird and wonderful world you've created. I'm really digging this one. My only quibble was the combat was a little obtuse. A few clues as to which combos were each opponents favoured attack/defence would have helped. I enjoyed it a lot though.

Voyage of Science and Legacy by NoNumbersGames 2021-05-16T20:06:41Z

I like the ambition of this one, but I think it needed more time than 48 hours to do it justice. An interactive 'biography' of the Voyager probe is a great concept, and there's a lot of scope for minigames and such. I did enjoy the ride though.

Good stuff :8ball:

Subsanity by cannashblue 2021-05-13T09:02:34Z

Great entry. The audio in the third(final) area was amazing and really set the mood. The graphics overall were good, but again the third area shone out in that department too. The level design in the third area was also streaks ahead of the other two. In the first area the mishmash of tiles made a few sections unnecessarily confusing, the cleaner look of the third was much better. It was a great decision to switch up the gameplay for the second area, but it did feel a bit lacking with only the sharks to contend with.

Hope that didn't sound too negative as I really enjoyed this. I played to the end and even wanted there to be more.

Good stuff :8ball:

Lost Mind by Ali Azeem 2021-05-15T20:38:43Z

I didn't get it at first, but once I did it became quite easy. Interesting game though; I don't think I ever seen anything like it. The audio was superb and set the mood perfectly.

Escape The Unstoppable Gooey Blob by OddballDave 2022-04-08T06:57:45Z

@kingofspill Yea, I knew it would be possible to cheese it if the blobs/crates spawned too close to each other. But it’s still hard to achieve so well done on managing it.

Web of Lies by Ava Skoog 2022-04-05T08:16:40Z

Is it even possible to get a job! I've been trying for half an hour now. Are you just messing with me!?

Anyway, great idea and executed really well. I liked the responses. Graphics fitted the the game and it all worked together. I would have liked a bit of variety(graphics/music) for the different workplaces, but that's only a minor gripe.

Good stuff :8ball:

Chickenator by clemall 2022-04-12T13:37:12Z

I bought everything and I still got the CHOP!! It seems I was only _delaying the inevitable_. Great little jam game. Had a lot of fun. Would have liked some kind of scoring system. I didn't hear any audio so I've not rated that.

Good stuff :8ball:

Ride the Sauze by Meta-link 2022-04-13T08:47:15Z

I love the graphics, and had loads of fun playing. After about 50 the game becomes impossible, which I guess is the point given the theme. I feel the game would have benefitted from some audio. It still kept me engage enough though to have quite a few goes at getting to the bottom of the mountain.

Malevich in Budapest by 01FE7E 2022-04-05T14:27:44Z

I strangely really like this. Chapter One works best as a game. That could have been a whole game in itself with a few extra additions. Chapter Two was actually my favourite. Though it is a little broken. Sometimes you roll into the water before you can do anything, and being able to bounce off the sides of blocks would have helped. Chapter Three is perhaps the weakest, but it's still a pretty solid game.

All the graphics look great and the was plenty of polish. It all sounded good too. You've done a great job on this all round.

Good stuff :8ball:

3 Minutes to Die by sillyman987 2022-04-05T14:16:39Z

Nice simple mechanic but you get it to do a lot of work. Plenty of variety in the level layout meant having to use the dash in subtly different ways. The music was good, although it did start out a little annoying it got much better as it went on. In the end a solid entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Trauma Center (futile medical care edition) by LoicLeGrosFrere 2022-04-06T08:43:58Z

I love all the little touches and interactions. It was fun to play. The WebGL version kept forgetting that I'd adjusted mouse sensitivity and I had to keep changing back each play. It looks good, and sounds great. And it has a style that it sticks to perfectly.

Good stuff :8ball:

Aster Defense by emrod 2022-04-06T10:17:53Z

This looks and sounds fantastic, and I really like the concept. I can see what you were going for, but it needs to ramp up the number of asteroids and quickly. It took me forever to create my fortress of asteroid death because I had to sit there wait for asteroids to appear. None of them got remotely close as they were all mowed down the second they appeared. Shield are pointless. They need to be able to withstand multiple hits radar and turrets are far superior at the moment even at the higher cost. Anyway, don't mean to sound negative as I really enjoyed playing, it's just this could be a great little game with a few tweaks. Solid entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

You Are The Snooze Button by stasm 2022-04-12T13:45:04Z

An interesting take on the theme. It's well polished, and the graphics are cute. The big hands gave me a chuckle. I didn't hear any audio so I didn't rate that. It all works well as a little time wasting game.

Oh No My Trophy by zimny11 2022-04-12T13:53:52Z

Oh wow! This got hectic fast. I thought I was doing well, then all of a sudden I was overrun with trophy thieves. The power-ups/attacks are quite random, but they work nicely with the wacky premise. Some questions do remain though. Like, why have I got so many trophies? And why is everybody after them? And why am I so violently protecting them?

Good stuff :8ball:

Sandwich Drop by Renge 2022-04-05T14:07:13Z

Interesting idea. The environments look nice. I couldn't get past level 2 so seems a little unfair for me to give it a rating when I've seen so little of the game.

Good stuff :8ball:

Fight or Flight by chertkov 2022-04-06T09:20:27Z

This is a solid tower defence game. Very simple to understand, and hits all the right marks for the genre. Then the added twist of trying to evacuate the workers was very clever. It's a constant balance of trying to have enough workers to man towers and trying to save as many workers as possible. I'm wondering as the developer what your best score is? Is it possible to get a perfect score or, as in life, do some sacrifices _have_ to be made?

Good Stuff :8ball:

1 Man 6 Bullets by Raphaeltan 2022-04-12T13:21:00Z

Yea, so this is f##king amazing. It's kinda like SUPER**HOT** and Hotline Miami rolled into one, SUPER**HOT**line Miami if you will. I'd play a full scale version of this with proper levels and stuff. I could imagine entering a level full of enemies with only 6 bullets and having to clear the whole thing out. As is though it's still a great game. Lot's of style, and the audio adds so much. It made me feel like an action hero pulling off all those combo shots. I usually add a comment or two of constructive criticism, but well, truth is I can't think of any negatives.

Good stuff :8ball:

Gone Out by Bea 2022-04-12T14:23:23Z

I **hate** this game!!

I **hate** that I care so much about my little guy in the woods.

I **hate** that I played this for an hour straight(seriously my bum is numb now).

I **hate** how much the lovely drawn forrest drew me in.

I **hate** how much the music and audio had me on edge.

I **hate** having to look at his cold sad face as he hopelessly searches for firewood.

But most of all..

I **hate** that no matter how much I tried I couldn't get my poor little guy through the night.

Now take my 5*s and don't make me feel for a bunch of pixels again.

Hostile Life by Bosco 2022-04-12T12:37:01Z

This is really good for a first LD Jam game. I liked pretty much everything about it. I even liked that the character would glitch out on occasion and warp around the level. I did find that the crates seemed to spawn in regular spots, so a bit more randomness there would have been nice. I could see this being expanded into a much bigger game, kinda like a Starseed Pilgrim type thing. All round though a great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

One Sided Pong by Brandless 2022-04-06T09:04:35Z

I know this is meant to be one of those jokey type games, but I had a Binatone Machine in the 70s/80s and it legit had a mode called Squash(practise) which was exactly like this. This is a gaming concept as old as videogames themselves. You've kind of proved that the Ludum Dare 50 theme is as pure as gaming itself. Whether by choice or by accident your game has validated the Theme Suggestions, the Theme Slaughter, and the Theme Voting rounds as the absolute and only possible solution for game jam theme creation. Whenever anyone on this, or any website, ever questions how the theme is decided upon I will direct them here so they can eat that humble pie they are spewing. I am printing this page in triplicate as I type and I will be framing it. One copy will be sent to the National Museum of Videogame History. One copy will be sent to @pov. The last I will keep for myself, placed on the wall next to the first drawing that my daughter drew of me.

I salute you. :8ball:

Der Schließmuskel by OddballDave 2022-10-20T08:26:00Z

@mossieur-patate Great feedback. And not gonna argue with any of it as it's only a jam game. I was going for that old-school internet weird, kinda like 'Salad fingers' and other early internet memes.

I will address a couple of points as your feedback was so well thought out.

The lack of guidance, that is intentional. You are supposed to have confusion and a sense of not getting it, or to even give up caring about which are good/bad.

There is a strict criteria for good produce. The arms must be the same length as the legs, which must be the same length as the body, and must be the same length as the head. The poster only hints at this, again on purpose. Bad produce sometimes also has an off colour to help with selection.

There is a little bit of feedback when you select good/bad produce. The mangler has a light that turns red when good produce is mangled, green for bad produce. The taste-tester burps if given bad produce, it makes him gassy, and gives an 'mmmmm' for good produce.

Other than those clarifications everything you said was bang on. Thank you for the feedback :8ball:

INTRUSIVE by Ava Skoog 2022-10-05T09:44:31Z

Yea, this is great. I mean it capture that terror of running out of time perfectly. I tried playing on trackpad at first which was impossible, but once I dug out a mouse it was perfectly playable. The sense of foreboding was immense, even before any of the tasks started. I think that was down to the audio. I had my headphones on and that driving bass was really hitting an anxiety nerve. Only gripe would have been length, but that can be forgiven as it's the bane of all Ludum Dare entries. Graphics were great, and the visual effect added an extra life and ominous vibrancy to them. It all fitted perfectly with the overall ambience of the game.

Great stuff :8ball:

LOve FInder by limered 2022-10-05T09:18:07Z

That was fun. And it got me thinking you could get really nuanced with the likes/dislikes. Having to weed out the exact combos of dislikes vs likes. It looks great, props to the artist. Would have liked to have a progress bar for the 10 seconds as I kept clicking during a changeover causing confusion over who I'd clicked on. But really the biggest complaint I have is that I couldn't pet the cat!!!! I mean come on, let me pet the cat. Never the less 'tis a great entry.

Roboten by JakNak72 2022-10-19T13:27:17Z

Great idea. It's an excellent fit for the theme. It's a really frustrating game having to wait for those timers when you mess up, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think a traditional countdown timer would have been better than a wall of death as you could catch up lost time later in the level. All round though I enjoyed it a lot.

Manta Fighter by Pincushion 2022-10-18T08:50:34Z

I destroyed the core. I like the graphics. The controls a unusual but manageable. Audio got a little annoying. I would have liked some sort of radar or targeting system as I kept losing my bearings. Despite that the game made me want to finish it so that's a win in my book.

Good stuff :8ball:

Lab Rat by fnelix 2022-10-05T08:40:35Z

So this could be a full on puzzle game with a bit of expansion. I really liked the premise and the main mechanic. The character is as cute as a button and everything made sense right off the bat. I played the game in a more top down view which made things 10x better. That should have probably been the default view. And a quick retry button would have helped. Also when I'd messed up a little it would have been nice for random colors to come out instead of blanks. But those are only minor gripes as I really enjoyed it. Art and sound were great. Gameplay was great. All in all a fine entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

10 Seconds To Annoyance by zimny11 2022-10-20T22:26:00Z

Cute Little Spider by BukkakeTears 2022-10-03T14:35:27Z

Yea, this is total my aesthetic of game. Loved the art and sound. Wanted a little more humour, but gameplay was decent enough. It was kinda like a rhythm game without the rhythm.

Great work :8ball:

Fall Apart by AlgeBRUH 2022-10-20T14:38:52Z

I was so close. I got to less than a minute until arrival. It's a fun idea. All the way through it felt like fighting a losing battle, which is the entire point. It looks really good. It had that 90s point'n'click feel to the graphics which gave it a lot of charm. Not really got a bad thing to say about it really.

Good stuff :8ball:

Maudits Fantômes / Cursed Ghosts by Mossieur Patate 2022-10-20T08:51:49Z

This is an interesting take on the theme. It's basically a memory game, like those chimpanzee experiments to test working memory. The Pac-Man theme was a nice touch, and worked well with what you are trying to achieve i.e. leave the ghosts alone when multi-coloured and grab when uniform, as that's exactly how Pac-Man works. Having Pac-Man as a grabber from a graber-machine was also inspired, great idea.

The two things I wasn't too keen on were the oblique grid with vertical tiles, as it made movement a little confusing. And the music started to get to me after a while.

I think my working memory is not that great though as I could only reach level 4. Not sure I can add any suggestions for improvements as everything seems tight in a mechanics sense. Great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Find the Rocket by quabmara 2022-10-20T15:01:23Z

Nice game. And was a lot of fun to play. Is there actually a rocket? I ran around for 6 minutes but never saw one. There were a couple of glitches, like enemies getting stuck on each other, but nothing game breaking. Graphics are great, and the audio had my had bobbing away. Excellent entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

unbeLEAFable by MYTHRILSMITHS 2022-10-20T23:14:00Z

The graphics in this are exactly the kind of style I love in games. In fact the whole thing is quite polished. I'd like to see a version of this that is a little more chilled out. I felt like I couldn't relax and enjoy my surroundings. Having said that it does work as a game, and fits the theme so I'd have to say an all round great entry.

Lightshrooms by LeReveur 2023-01-16T10:49:29Z

Nice simple game. Would have been nice to have a countdown timer for when your master is returning to add a bit of jeopardy. Graphics and audio where nice. The idea of having to remember the maze was fun. Some light shining enemies that moved around the maze spoiling mushrooms might have been a good addition, but everything works well enough as is. It had me hooked enough I played to the end, so..

Good stuff :8ball:

Haustmåne by Ava Skoog 2023-01-19T14:26:50Z

Wow this looks like a lot of work for three days. Well done on that. I struggled at first to understand what was going on, but after reading the comments it all made much more sense. Knowing when I was in shadows was easy enough to understand, but knowing if I was about to be spotted when out of the shadows wasn't as clear. Overall very good though and the graphics and audio are excellent.

Good stuff :8ball:

Lullaby farms by TolMera 2023-01-09T13:59:23Z

Good stuff :8ball:

Wurmi by joewan 2023-01-13T10:48:17Z

Whap Harvest by pushmepullyu 2023-01-09T13:46:26Z

Robert the Druid has Made a Terrible Mistake by Mohamed_DKD 2023-01-19T09:28:31Z

Do you know what? I eye rolled when I saw it was a tower defence game, but the harvest mechanic made the game worth a full play through. It added a nice twist on an otherwise stale genre. Good work for that. Graphics and audio are great and coherent. I thought I was going to hate it, but I really liked it. So top marks for that.

Good stuff :8ball:

Imma Head Out by Alex Garbus 2023-01-16T10:32:36Z

I have to admit I laughed when his head turned into a lettuce. Why am I finding this game so hard? It seems so simple. Avoid the bullets and shoot the enemies. There aren't even that many bullets, but I'm really struggling to avoid them. My max score was 248. Gonna have another go though as I want to beat that.

Good stuff :8ball:

Hearty Harvest by Tobius 2023-01-16T10:20:55Z

I like the concept. An interesting twist on the classic matching games. Graphics and audio are top notch. Everything worked as expected. This is a very solid entry. A little bit more variety in the gameplay might have been nice, but that's only a minor gripe. I think this will do well.

Good stuff :8ball:

Harvest to grow by Picque Alexis 2023-01-19T09:21:29Z

Interesting idea. On the face of it the game is your typical 4x game, but you are actually expanding to a destination instead of trying to take over the map. Graphics and audio are great, good work on them, but the music loop did start to grate after a bit. A bit more explanation at the beginning would have been nice, but to be honest it was easy enough to work everything out. Excellent work for a jam game.

Good stuff :8ball:

Feeding Time at the Church of the Cosmic Void by Alex de la Cour 2023-01-16T11:08:58Z

So this is the bases for a really great game. I mean it's already great, but this could be turned into a full product. It looks amazing first of all, not just sprite work, but the animation too. The game mechanic is great and has tons of potential. I liked that you needed to be in his line of sight for him to obey you, that is what elevates it from other indirect control games. As others, and even yourself, have said the controls are a bit awkward. I believe given more time you'd be able to find a control scheme that works. It still works well enough though for a jam game. Loved it.

Good stuff :8ball:

Hard Hat Harvest by Grif_in 2023-01-09T14:18:02Z

There's a lot in here for a two man game. Well done. It was a little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it things were pretty straight forward. The audio was pretty choppy, no music might have been better as you opted out of audio anyway. Graphics are really nice, and fit well.

@ava-skoog Great feedback as always. The game ends after 10 deliveries, and your earnings are then your score. I suppose I could have made that clearer. And yes the "handbrake" just removed friction from the tires allowing you to drift.

@digital-bacon We all know that after the bombs have dropped the only things to survive will be cockroaches and Toyota Hilux trucks.

Dave's Pizzas by OddballDave 2023-05-12T09:43:49Z

@apiffer The plan was to have mutants roaming the wasteland that you could run over and ragdoll everywhere, but I didn't have time to figure all that out. You'll just have to settle for bouncing the cacti and barrels around.

ΗΠΛ Debate Club by Ava Skoog 2023-05-04T14:25:48Z

It seems simple on the surface, but this is actually rather complex. You don't get much time to decide your next combo which adds so much urgency and anxiety to things. I don't think I've ever seen a rhythm game like it. I kept struggled to hit that first 'beat', but that's more to do with my lack of skill than the games fault. Thoroughly enjoyable game.

Packages, Please by Daveybb 2023-05-10T19:39:27Z

This is good. All the elements you need are there. I really like the 'cutscene' images. They are freaky, but strangely compelling. I spotted a few bugs. I got a game over when I still had money, then when the next game started I still had the money from the last game. But all that's forgivable in a jam game. I had quite a few goes at this, maybe more than I should considering getting past day three is impossible.

Crystal Courier by Likirus 2023-05-03T13:48:03Z

That was fun. I really liked the audio in this one. The graphics did their job, and everything was clear and understandable. I especially liked the cute little rocket. The truck is hard to control, and I found myself coming to a full stop before pointing myself in the right direction to set off again. I did play to victory, but alas I didn't do it in time.

Fun little game, and I perhaps played it for longer than I should. I would have liked to be able to take two jobs at once, and as @fuse-in-a-bowl mentioned if you don't leave the pavement it doesn't register that you've arrived at a location. Those ker-chings are very addicting though.

I'd press it and then it'd take a moment before it responded. Other than that though it was a great romp through the mushroom kingdom.

There's a lot going on here which is a good thing. I liked the idea of different items helping against different enemies, but like you say above I could use them even if I didn't have them. The encounter rate seemed a little high for me. I liked the graphics, they fitted the game well. Great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Shipyard Mercury by chompdev 2023-05-10T20:17:18Z

An interesting idea, and that sets it apart from most of the entries. I was really enjoying putting my ship together. Unfortunately half way through the mouse controls glitched out and I couldn't get it back to a point I could continue. What I played was fun though. It looks great, and the simple visuals help the gameplay. Great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Chain Mail by AdamCYounis 2023-05-03T16:17:46Z

__Kingdom saved with 2 days remaining!__ This is brilliant. It's almost a complete game already, let alone a jam game. I was a little confused at first, but then I got what was going on pretty quickly. All the info is there and it's easy to understand. Graphics are amazing, and the sound was good too. It had a nice story, and fun mechanics. This is a great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Serum Run by 3LSTMsInATrenchcoat 2023-05-04T13:47:45Z

That was fun. Great graphics. I would have liked some sound, but I understand it's a jam game. From my relatively short play time it seems quite balanced, meaning failing if you are too cautious. I really enjoyed playing.

Good stuff :8ball:

Yangtze by betovf 2023-05-12T10:10:02Z

This was fun. I was a little confused at first, but once I understood everything it was really enjoyable. I eventually got to a level where the time limit seemed impossible. Not sure if there was something different I could have done to beat it. Great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

To: Tony by miraculousMelon 2023-05-03T15:38:58Z

As others have said it's got a very Papers Please vibe to it. It was a lot more relaxing than Papers Please though so I'm glad you took that different direction. Everything was of a good standard, making this a great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Deliver Them From Sin by ugly_robot 2023-05-04T14:32:13Z

This is an enjoyable little romp. It started off giving me Canabalt vibes, but it's definately got more complexity to it than that. I kept getting the keys mixed up in my head and that seemed to be my downfall on most runs. There's some interesting graphical choices. But in the main a great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Postal Dash! by TebionDL 2023-05-10T19:19:48Z

That was fun. It works very well as a game. There are plenty of elements to juggle. As others have said it's a little confusing at points. The graphics were great.

Good stuff :8ball:

Hear Ye! by krummja 2023-05-03T14:43:21Z

Twas fun. I verily didth like tooting my horn. I found making the bandits fall off cliffs easier than tooting them. And you hid those missives in a few sneaky places. I really like the graphics. All round a great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

RAT-TAT-TAT by Alec Viera 2023-05-12T10:52:45Z

This looks and sounds great. It plays well too. The atmosphere was great so not sure why you opted out of _mood_, I'd have scored that very highly. I had no issue to speak of so all round this is an excellent entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

Deliver-E by DieNasty 2023-05-12T12:39:45Z

Damn that was good fun. Mechanically really well made too. There's a lot of typos, but that doesn't really affect the game. The challenge was good, especially that last level. I do love this kind of game.

Good stuff :8ball:

Happiness Delivery by apiffer 2023-05-12T09:59:20Z

I love the look of this, the graphics are so charming and well done. Most of the observations I had have been mentioned by other commenters, audio, etc. but it didn't detract from the experience at all. Definitely played until the end, because you gotta make Grandma happy. I enjoyed every second of this.

Good stuff :8ball:

Boxlin by UnitOfTime 2023-05-03T14:10:26Z

I'm sorry, but this is genius. I absolutely loved it. This is the kind of game I could play for hours on my phone. My only gripe? That music is hideous and made me want to rip my ears off. Thankfully you added a mute. I'd have also liked to have guide lines running down from the sides of the box to help me line up trick shots. But yea, other than that it's full marks all round.

Great job :8ball:

The Signal by OddballDave 2023-10-03T08:29:54Z

@ace17 Sorry about that. Thanks for the heads up.

The Signal by OddballDave 2023-10-04T08:21:25Z

@stronf @bredera @anper @nathmate

I realised the narration would get annoying, it did during testing, so there's an option to mute it until the next level. Guess I didn't make that clear enough. I did consider making the radio get quieter and quieter each death on a level, temperal degradation or something, but decided against it. Maybe I should have gone that route.

Tracked by Ava Skoog 2023-10-13T10:08:15Z

This looks great. I like the cohesive style of all the graphics. The subdued rust color of everything really adds to the feel. Audio was great too. Everything sounds just as it should. A little bit more variation in each carriage would have been nice, but it doesn't affect the game much. The gameplay is simple enough, which is what you want in a jam game. I don't like time limits in games, but I think one would have worked well here. I guess that wouldn't gel with the ending gag though. All in all a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

BLOCKIES by Ayxs 2023-10-13T10:39:06Z

This is a good solid game. I suspect it does everything you set out to achieve. I like the graphics, simple but effective, and they fit the Tetris aesthetic perfectly. Personally I'd have liked full keyboard controls, moving pieces and moving the camera bound to keys. I did have one issue with not being able to rotate the camera, not sure why. Other than that, everything was great. Good stuff :8ball:

Refugees of Oblivion by arzi 2023-10-03T13:34:48Z

Interesting game. Not sure I've ever played anything like it. It was strangly atmospheric considering the simple graphics. I did find that when the food balance tipped against the player it went too quickly and there was never any time to correct it. That said I could see this being expanded into a mobile clicker game easily enough. I had fun. Good stuff :8ball:

Verliies by Ace17 2023-10-13T10:19:51Z

I liked it. It's tough, it's brutal, but it never seemed unfair, save for a few cheeky drop blocks. Graphics all work well. sound fits in with everything else perfectly. The platforming controls could have been a bit more responsive and smooth, but it's a jam game so it gets a pass on that. I thought the concept worked well with the theme and it was a bit different with all the moving walls. Solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

LD#54 - Meteor Shower - C64 by Endurion 2023-10-17T15:56:59Z

As everyone else has said the graphics get a 5*. Audio was good. I wasn't a big fan of the gameplay, but it works as a game and was fun enough for a jam game. You get extra Overall marks for making a C64 game. I enjoyed it. Good stuff :8ball:

how you use it by ThaProfesional 2023-10-17T15:36:16Z

You know what? I liked this a lot. Great use of the theme. I loved the little story before hand. Gameplay works splendidly. Can't really fault anything about it. Played until I won. Good stuff :8ball:

AnathemA by 3mpty 2023-10-03T12:44:11Z

Window pops up, it plays an initial sound, then crashes. Windows 11, RTX 3070.

Couldn't play it so didn't do ratings.

Good luck :8ball:

Comfort by Anper 2023-10-13T11:02:37Z

Loved this. It's great. Wonderful concept and a great use of the theme. The sound design is perfect; the instant feeling of peril when you leave your comfort zone is spot on. I didn't have any issues with the game at all. Good stuff :8ball:

InsideMe by RollCreators 2023-10-03T13:24:26Z

Very nice game. An unusual concept. It plays well enough. Alas though I have to admit that I couldn't complete the last level. It may have had something to do with me using a trackpad. The art is nice, and those little stag-things were really cute.

Good stuff :8ball:

The Sacrifice of Dimitree by magicstunts123 2023-10-03T14:40:57Z

So this game was both humorous and atmospheric which is a combination that is hard to pull off. The graphics and sound are great, with little Dimitree being the star of the show. I did have one issue with the controls. I was unable to turn 360 degrees. Movement was limited to about 300 degrees. I was still able to complete the game so it didn't hurt my experience. I had a great time playing this. Good stuff. :8ball:

Pack Your Ship by SpaceyLake 2023-10-03T09:15:09Z

Do you know what? I really enjoyed that. Yes the gameplay loop is a little repetitive, but I enjoyed having to move my turrets around to maximize the space for cargo.

A couple of bugs/issues. Sometimes I wasn't given enough fuel to make the first run. I can understand being short changed on subsequent runs as I _could_ bring spares, but the first run should have at least enough to make it. Also sometimes the turrets wouldn't fire at the enemy ships even though they had enough ammo nearby. I'd have to move there positions before they'd start shooting again.

I had lots of fun playing this. Good stuff :8ball:

Packed to the Gills by npckc 2023-10-04T13:18:25Z

You've got yourselves a lovely little game here. I had a blast playing. Loved everything about it. Not a bad thing to say. This is exactly what a jam game should be. Great work. :8ball:

Highly Specialized Troops by Erivas_Soulares 2023-10-03T09:32:57Z

Very interesting concept and lots of fun to play. One issue I had was the soldiers not landing on a square so became unable to move/stack. Art and sound fitted perfectly. Very well done. Good stuff :8ball:

Before I Forget by Wrong Timeline 2023-10-03T10:09:48Z

That's a 5* game right there. Brilliant! Not sure whether I got the good ending or not. It said

!>The bad ending?

but I found

!>Rosa

which seemed like a good ending to me?!

Either way this was an amazing experience. I wasn't sure about the piece laying mechanic when it first popped up, but it worked really well with the narrative.

I did have one bug when I was trying to place pieces where they could clearly fit, but it wouldn't accept them. Using a singl block I was able to determine that two squares were showing as empty but were in fact blocked.

Loved the art and sound, and the writing is well done.

Good stuff :8ball:

The Bullet Box by MonsieurDuck 2023-10-17T15:20:32Z

At first I didn't realize my own bullets were hitting me, but once I got that I was cooking. The only issue gameplay wise is not having any clue that a bullet is about to hit you in the back. Other than that it works great. Audio is spot on, so 5* for that. Controls were great. All round a fine entry. Good stuff :8ball:

STELLAR LIMITS by obittner 2023-10-03T13:48:40Z

I liked it. Ship controls are easy enough, loading up cargo was simple, and the graphics are cute. My ship got stuck at one point and wouldn't move. It freed up after a bit, but I'm using it as an excuse as to why I'm not top of the leaderboard. I had fun.

Good stuff :8ball:

Animal Teleporting by JamesW 2023-10-03T10:54:17Z

This is a really solid entry. Everything was done well and fitted together nicely. The puzzles weren't too hard, which is what you want from a jam game, and the range of different animal properties was plentiful, but not overwhelming. I managed to complete all the levels. Didn't come across any bugs or issues, but I would have liked to be able to TAB through the animals instead of clicking them. But that's only a minor gripe as I had a blast. Good stuff :8ball:

Core Values by Philocode 2023-10-03T12:29:27Z

I like the idea. It does look unfinished in places, but that can be forgiven as it's a jam game. I was bashing all the other robots until I got to a point where my robot stopped dealing damage altogether. It was impossible to progress after that. Nice fun game. Good stuff :8ball:

Space Bar ☆ Porter q(≧▽≦q) by Kuchinashi 2023-10-04T12:52:46Z

Very well done. The dialogue had me chuckling a couple of times. Audio and graphics are good. Good stuff. :8ball:

Out of Side by happyglitch 2023-10-17T15:51:22Z

I like this a lot. At first I thought I wasn't as you have so much control over the drone, but they work really well with the level design. Graphics are great and convey a lot with so few pixels. Audio is simple but effective. My only gripe is that as it's a jam game more checkpoints would have been nice. Other than that it's a pleasantly surprising little entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Down Below by Draekdude 2023-10-04T12:32:41Z

Interesting game. I do love these old style dungeon crawlers. I clicked some statues, opened a few doors, and fell down a few traps, but alas I never found my way out of the dungeon. The dungeon changed slightly on different runs. Not sure if it was intentional, but thought I'd mention it. Good stuff. :8ball:

Bergmål by Ava Skoog 2024-05-03T11:35:58Z

I like the visuals. There's something about them having no discernable facial features that works really well here. It's a shame about your time issues as this was shaping up into a great game. The mechanic of connecting details to further the story has so much potential. I hope you continue developing it. Good stuff :8ball:

LD55 - Hell Binder by pebkac 2024-04-15T12:52:47Z

I love those graphics. The way his robe lifts up to reveal his striped stocks as he's falling. I liked the concept too. Having to summon the poor little doggos to help. It was a little short though. I did play it a couple of times looking to see if I'd missed some hidden level areas. Good stuff :8ball:

Voir Dire by danman9914 2024-04-19T09:37:14Z

Wow! I've been doing Ludum Dare for over ten years and this has to be the best Compo entry I've ever seen. Everything about it oozes quality. Not only are the graphics and audio exceptional, but there is a slickness to their execution. The story was fun, and the gameplay works great. There were so many permutations, and combinations; I had so much fun trying to make the twins vote as many times as possible. I don't think I have a single constructive comment to make on this one, and I believe it's the first time I've ever voted all 5:star:'s on a compo entry. Great work :8ball:

Spirit, are you there? by namnam 2024-04-16T08:54:55Z

I framed someone for murder! Great concept. Such an interesting idea. A full-length game of this would be interesting. With lots of branching paths to the narrative you could take it in all sorts of directions. The graphics help sell it too. Not got a bad thing to say about it. Superb entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Hardcore High School by CaptainDreamcast 2024-05-03T11:51:13Z

5:star2:'s. Would play again. You actually had me laughing during this one. Great fun. :8ball:

Help of the Cthulhu by Jiri Hysek 2024-04-15T15:32:07Z

That is a big ol' Cthulhu you've got there. Great game. I really liked the art and sound. The puzzle element is a bigger part of the experience than it first appears. It kept me engaged enough that I finished it. Lots of fun all round. Good stuff :8ball:

Infernup's Ablazummon by Colisan 2024-04-15T13:12:58Z

Yea, this is a great entry. Graphics and sound are top notch. I found the gameplay a little hard. I didn't get very high on the leaderboard. I enjoyed it a lot though. Great stuff :8ball:

Ramen: Beyond Two Balls by Emty 2024-04-18T10:47:54Z

That was nothing like I expected, although I'm not entirely sure what I expected. It was fun. A good length for a jam game. Pretty basic mechanics, which is a good thing. I understood what was going on. And it held my attention long enough for me to finish it. Good stuff :8ball:

Kalea The Evil by Lakea 2024-04-15T12:41:10Z

Interesting game. It was easy to understand. I would have liked a little more feedback on how effective my attacks were. But all-in-all a solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Bendirat by Enad96 2024-04-15T15:03:54Z

Well, that was certainly interesting. I liked the vibe, and the visuals are great. Story was interesting enough for me to make it to the end. I didn't solve the puzzle and did the cheat. Great stuff :8ball:

The Royal Writ by Save Sloth Studios 2024-04-19T12:54:14Z

Great fun. It looks and sounds superb. Mechanics were easy to pick up and allowed some variety. I really liked the story. There were a couple of issues where I couldn't place a card when it felt like I should; not sure what was going on there. This is an excellent entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Unholy Cow by oligue 2024-04-15T15:16:57Z

I enjoyed that. It wasn't even too bad playing it on my laptop trackpad. Nice range of spells. Nice gameplay loop. Good stuff :8ball:

Crazy Court Summons by MistaGiggles 2024-04-16T10:23:25Z

This is really great. I had a lot of fun with it, and there's lots to it. My only gripe is that I'd love to have a map. I loved the low poly, low texture graphics. The car handles well in a fun kinda way, and the audio wasn't annoying as it can be in driving games. Excellent entry all round. Good stuff :8ball:

Symthesis by ollie_d 2024-04-15T16:03:32Z

Do you know what? That was tremendous fun. I love this kind of merging puzzle game. Played all the way to the end and loved every minute. I really like the visuals and the music was very atmospheric. Great stuff :8ball:

Salmoning Time by Anvilesque 2024-04-16T08:38:06Z

BEST. GAME. EVER. That was great fun, and hilarious to boot. I'm confused about the scoring as no matter how many salmon I summon I always ended with 0/140. The audio is obviously great, and the visuals fitted very well with what you're going for. I played this way more times than I probably should. Good stuff :8ball:

I call upon the witti-ness! by TRobboJ 2024-04-15T14:05:30Z

Great entry. I had lots of fun finding all the punny dad jokes. I also got my fingers in knots a couple of times too. Everything about this is superbly done. Only problem I had was it crashed a few times, but I kept coming back to have another go. Great stuff :8ball:

God's Apprentice by Kimday 2024-04-17T14:59:50Z

I liked this a lot. Great fun. I wasn't even bothered by the length. The cute graphics were wonderfully whimsical. A little more feedback when you spawned something would have been nice, as it wasn't clear to me at first that the cat was eating the rat, or the rat scared off(?) the humans. But that is only a minor gripe. I enjoyed it none the less. Good stuff :8ball:

Duck Spawner by Myse 2024-04-16T12:37:54Z

The 13th Hour by MegzNeko 2024-04-18T10:18:40Z

It's like a modern-day Pac-Man. Walking corridors, popping pills, and avoiding ghosts. It was very atmospheric. I would have liked the ghosts to be more in-game. As they are now they felt like a separate jump scare. Good stuff :8ball:

Micro Wars by OddballDave 2024-10-13T14:54:13Z

@tanis Which version of windows are you using? It works fine on my windows 11 machine. Is it happening with both w,a,s,d and arrow keys? Thanks :8ball:

Micro Wars by OddballDave 2024-10-27T14:52:23Z

@jiri-hysek what's missing from the source download? I'll check it tomorrow, but it should all be in the download.

Tiny Creatures Creator by jk5000 2024-10-07T09:52:28Z

This is very funny. An interesting idea too. I played it twice just so I could go through tech support as well. I do feel that using Unreal for this game is like using an intercontinental ballistic missile just to swat a fly though. Thanks for the laughs. Good stuff :8ball:

Tribal Tribulations by multiplexor 2024-10-07T10:24:06Z

What an interesting concept. I had a lot of fun hurling my little followers around. I think the game dearly needs some check points. Little shrines that register how many men you have and then you can continue from there with those men if you die. Also at one point I got stuck in an endless loop of dying and had to restart the game. Good stuff :8ball:

Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-17T08:56:34Z

Why did I enjoy this game so much?! Every ounce of the game designer in me is screaming 'this is wrong', but somehow it works as a fun, enjoyable experience. I love the sketchy art, the dodgy physics, the unresponsive controls. And that poor dog's leg twitching away. My only minor gripe would be that the fleas are squares which doesn't really fit with the rest of the graphics. Maybe little sketchy dots would have suited better. But overall I loved this. Good stuff :8ball:

Slimeow Game by Quan Ran 2024-10-17T10:52:21Z

Fun game. Graphics are great. The balance could use a bit of work, as I easily maxed everything out. I found you only needed one bone guy to keep the tower going until near the end, and even then you only need to add a second guy. Once you realize that you can max out collecting from the pond to ramp up your fish quickly. Having said all that it did entertain me enough that I stuck around to the endgame. Good stuff :8ball:

Look by sudocoffee 2024-10-11T13:32:27Z

Great concept. I liked it a lot. Not sure I've got anything constructive to add except that I'd have liked there to be a solution where all could survive. Other than that it's a pretty complete jam game. Good stuff :8ball:

Mini Beaker by LePeridot 2024-10-11T13:48:03Z

Great quality all round. My wrist and finger are aching after all that clicking now though. You guys did a fantastic job. Well done :8ball:

Hang On! by Braulio_JG 2024-10-07T10:30:58Z

Simple to understand, easy controls, fun to play. Spiderbro gets my vote. I mean the only minor critique is that the web effect could have been a bit slicker, but it doesn't detract from the game in any way. Good stuff :8ball:

Dance with the Sprites by Flewbimo 2024-10-07T09:37:54Z

.pck file missing in download and html version ran at 1 frame per minute. Out of fairness I won't rate at the moment. Will check back later to see if it's fixed. Good luck :8ball:

Stacking Zoo by j3m 2024-10-17T09:13:02Z

I'm always impressed when people do puzzle games for LDJam. It's difficult to design compelling puzzles in 48 hours, but I think you've done a fine job. They were the right kind of difficult and never felt frustrating. Art is great, but I didn't get any audio so not sure what's happening there (so I didn't rate audio). Good stuff :8ball:

Chlorella Warriors by prora 2024-10-07T09:33:18Z

The puzzles are good. I had to think hard about a couple of them. I wasn't getting any audio, don't know if that's correct as you haven't opted out of audio. The graphics do their job of conveying the necessary info. I played until the end. I even went back to try that random teleporter with no exit in the final level. A solid compo entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Puny creatures by akacooh 2024-10-07T10:40:56Z

This was fun. I was determined to beat it so I played until I won. I liked the simple graphics, but I didn't get any audio so haven't rated that. The attacks were signaled nicely, and they always seemed fair so the were no impossible situations. Good stuff :8ball:

A game about a frog by Frogcula 2024-10-07T10:00:47Z

I liked it. I got quite good at hitting those little bugs at a distance. Movement is a nice effect, but it is painfully slow. Shame you had to finish early, I would have liked to have seen how you'd flesh things out. I had fun regardless though. Good stuff :8ball:

Particle Wars by NickHellquist 2024-10-17T08:38:36Z

Good fun. I concentrated on maxing out all the attack options and relied on me being able to dodge enemies. This meant I killed the boss almost before he was on screen. I found the audio quite hypnotic; the bullets had a rhythm to it chugging away in the background. A really nice variety to the power-ups too, and I liked the idea of the ultra-rares popping up from time to time. Great stuff :8ball:

Get to the bottom by jk5000 2025-04-08T20:28:18Z

Good fun. Nice to see a multiplayer game in #LDJam. Everything works great. Gameplay was easy to understand. Would have liked to hear more sounds in the game, but the music was very enjoyable. Good stuff :8ball:

Strafe To Hell by alexrose 2025-04-08T20:38:23Z

Excellent work all round. Graphics, and audio are top notch. The concept is great. I did find the mouse cursor a little hard to see on the white background, but it's not a deal breaker. I had lots of fun playing this. Good stuff :8ball:

Feast Thine Eyes On Flowers by Hempuli 2025-04-08T20:49:03Z

I liked it. Interesting idea. It's like an experiment in selective breeding. There's not a lot to it interactivity-wise, but what is there is good, and I suspect there's a lot more going on under the hood than is evident from a simple playthrough. Good stuff :8ball:

Listening Winds by Hoichael 2025-04-09T20:50:13Z

I really love the aesthetic of this one. The gameplay is good too. Nice atmospheric audio. I did indeed make it to the light. Good stuff :8ball:

Holy Moly! by Thomas_Bringer 2025-04-08T21:14:13Z

Ha ha, that was great fun. The graphics are super cute, and the audio good, especially those satisfying thunks. You done a fantastic job all round. Good stuff :8ball:

Dyamid by leorean 2025-04-09T20:18:10Z

Great concept, fantastic mechanic, ingenious puzzles, cute graphics, and engaging audio. What's not to love about this gem of a game. loved it :8ball:

Devil May Love by Fractal 2025-04-09T21:00:18Z

Great graphics on this one. everything works as it should. Gameplay is simple to understand and fun enough to play. I enjoyed this a lot. Good stuff :8ball:

This Blasted Mine by Pincushion 2025-04-08T21:06:03Z

That was good fun. Strangely I found level two the hardest. I'm always impressed when people make puzzle games like this for a jam as the puzzles must be really hard to devise in the timeframe, so defo hats of for that. Good stuff :8ball:

The OPERATOR by Tomtomgome 2025-04-09T13:44:04Z

Yea, this is an outstanding entry. Well done guys. I was invested all the way through and I got _a_ squad to the bottom in the end. It all looks and sounds great, and everything worked as it should. Fantastic work. :8ball:

VoidQuest by koalabear 2025-04-09T19:53:18Z

Unlike the comments above I actually found the controls perfectly fine, that is, until you upgrade the speed a few times. Then things get a little hard to manoeuvre in tight spaces. My only issue is there didn't seem to be an endgame, or if there is I gave up before reaching it, and I did play for quite some time. In other areas the audio and graphics are great. Good stuff :8ball:

Wishing Evil by andruid 2025-04-09T20:28:39Z

I really like the graphics on this one. They are just the kind of stuff I like. The gameplay loop was fun enough if a little basic. This is a solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Kind of deep waters by 7uc4s 2025-04-09T21:06:39Z

This is a fun little game. Has plenty of _depth_ to it. Everything worked well. Hitboxes were good, which I think is important for a game like this. I like the graphics and audio too. Good stuff :8ball:

Cult of the Whisker by Artel 2025-04-09T12:43:38Z

I really like the graphics on this one. It's got good sound too, and the puzzles did their job. It had a nice creepy mood to it. Everything worked as it should, and I had no problems. Good stuff :8ball:

There's No Depth in Top View by sadvest 2025-04-08T19:43:01Z

I like it. Simple to understand, but tricky to solve, as puzzle games should be. I also appreciate your interpretation of the theme. My only suggestion would be for the level to switch back to the isometric view after you solve a level. But even so it's still a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

I Want Your Teeth by OddballDave 2025-10-06T19:57:38Z

@rinevard @moonblast @smogobingo Sorry you found the levels too hard. I was actually worried I'd made them too easy. That has surprised me. At least each level is only 10 seconds long. :8ball:

I Want Your Teeth by OddballDave 2025-10-09T13:22:24Z

@petitlu Your suggestions confuse me as that is already how it should work. No rain appears above the fairy for the first few seconds. In fact you can sometimes not move the full 10 seconds and complete the level. Also in the second level the fairy doesn't move for the first half a second giving you chance to get your bearings. If this isn't happening for people then something is going wrong.

I Want Your Teeth by OddballDave 2025-10-13T08:19:45Z

@jose-bonilla 30 tries!! Something is definitely going wrong somewhere. It only takes me 4 or 5 tries to complete the whole thing. I've obviously done something to make it go weird on other peoples machines because 30 attempts at level 1 is crazy.

I was worried people would complain it was too easy. Guess I was very wrong :8ball:

Coin Collector by jk5000 2025-10-13T12:51:03Z

The 'Coin collected!' sound effect had me laughing. Simple but strangely addictive. Good stuff :8ball:

LOOKING FOR THE GOOD STUFF by Ntimi 2025-10-13T13:14:43Z

Loved it. The art is spot on. Audio is spot on. They both give the game a great atmosphere. I liked the gameplay loop, and it didn't out stay its welcome. I especially liked the little touches like the eyes in the bushes. Lots of fun :8ball:

Calm & Collected Collector Collision by el-pepi 2025-10-09T09:19:44Z

I played this far longer than I expected to. I think I maxed everything out as it stopped giving me the option of upgrades, and every round took ages as I just kept gaining more time. It's an interesting take on the theme. Graphics are great (How many wheels and bumpers can one car have). Audio was great too. Other than the balancing issues you mention, this is an awesome entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Lepidopterology Extreme by mahalis 2025-10-10T13:10:35Z

Art and sounds were good. Nice simple gameplay loop. Everything worked as it should. Not much more I can say other than I had fun. Good stuff :8ball:

DDD: Thanks to the Power of Day Drinking I’ve Achieved God-Tier Cap Collection by MnemosyneVL 2025-10-07T10:55:01Z

I played this for far too long, and I don't know why. Outstanding work :8ball:

Revolution Nexus by Moonblast 2025-10-09T12:32:29Z

I enjoyed that a lot. It's an interesting take on the tower defence formula. Very easy to understand what was going on, and I didn't have any problems playing. Well done :8ball:

Salvage Man by Dylan Lewis 2025-10-07T10:34:20Z

Nice entry. Everything worked as expected; except I couldn't open the shop. I had fun throwing all of the junk, I mean salvage, into the truck. Good stuff :8ball:

1 of 8,031,810,176 by torte478 2025-10-13T12:32:05Z

I actually IRL LOL-ed at this one. Great game. Not much more needs to be said. Looks and sounds great, plays well. I had a blast :8ball:

Haven's Lake by Flying Butter Studio 2025-10-07T11:40:06Z

I really enjoyed that and played it through to the end. It was nice and relaxing up until I had one item to restore and then it took ages to get the last item. Maybe when there's one item left increase its chances of appearing. Nice graphics and soothing sound. The mini games were fun. Great entry :8ball:

Bail-out by kazetheroth 2025-10-09T09:47:11Z

Great fun. Poor Johnny losing all his stuff, but I made a ton of money. I love the graphics, and animation. Grabbing and moving stuff work well. The camera clipping through walls was a little issue, but you've got to expect a little jank in a jam game. Thanks for the laughs. Good stuff :8ball:

KeyboardCollector by NoodleStorm 2025-10-09T13:10:58Z

That was great. Loved it. Graphics are great, and I don't mind them being minimalist. Audio is nice and relaxing. There's a surprising amount to explore considering the small space used. My only quibble is I didn't find the **U** before picking up the **9**; not knowing that would end the game. Good stuff :8ball:

SNoWay by skale 2025-10-07T10:17:24Z

This is an interesting one. I really like the mechanic, and it's implemented well. There's a little bit of an issue when playing with track pad. Keyboard alternatives for the mouse buttons would help there. The snow effect is good and the graphics in general are great. The enemies needed a bit more detail though. I liked the crunchy snow sound and the thumping snowball hits. All-in-all a solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Please don't touch my collection by zidan-banan 2025-10-09T13:55:55Z

This looks and sounds great. I finished it, but I'm not sure I really _solved_ the puzzles; more like I lucked into several of them. Great entry though. Well done :8ball:

Street Chess by OddballDave 2018-04-23T19:31:27Z

Thanks @andreadbx and @siimphh for playing. The AI can clear the board in a millisecond if I set it high enough. I purposely made it easy for the compo version so players of all abilities/ableness can finish the story to rate the game. If there's any interest I'll do a post compo version with much harder AIs. :8ball:

Street Chess by OddballDave 2018-04-25T07:44:46Z

Thanks @matt-pattabhi the game was indeed made in a weekend. The Chess gameplay came together really quickly so as I had some extra time I added in the story.

I'm not an artist at all so I'm very flattered by your comments. I used Clip Studio Paint for the art.

Street Chess by OddballDave 2018-04-27T10:45:02Z

@polegar The AI runs through all possible moves it can make and rates them on various criteria; threatened, captures, etc. The move with the highest rating is the move it makes. Even though it's a brute force approach it's still pretty quick. The 'Impossible' difficulty is it working at full speed. :8ball:

Street Chess by OddballDave 2018-04-27T10:56:23Z

@antti-haavikko Great comments. Thanks for taking the time. I do have a couple of ideas on how to curtail, but not eliminate, using a single piece to blitz an opponent. They involve allowing the player to see the AI dragging his pieces to make it fair though, and that would take a rewrite of the code. If I can find some time I might give it a go.

I totally agree about the Chess part not reflecting the characters. Originally I wanted to have a different Chess sets for each character you play that echoed that character in some way. But alas I ran out of time. :8ball:

Goal and Crossbones by SkullPixel 2018-04-27T07:38:56Z

Great art, great audio, great concept, great gameplay, great game. Well done. I would have preferred to get a couple of goes at each level before it was game over. Maybe allow the game to play until their goal tally is higher than yours. Either way awesome entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Space Chess by zoglu 2018-04-25T13:44:25Z

Interesting idea. Very well executed. Was a little tough on my crappy trackpad. I can see how this would make a nifty mobile game. Good stuff :8ball:

Match Racer by tomdeal 2018-04-26T20:20:26Z

I like the turn based racing a lot. Very clever. Great use of the theme as well. Good stuff :8ball:

Similize the Savages by silkworm_sweatshop 2018-04-25T14:30:31Z

Well 5/5 for the theme. It certainly is a mash up of two genres. It works really well too. I enjoyed it and played for quite a while. Good stuff :8ball:

BeMused by Dixonary 2018-04-27T11:22:05Z

That was fun. Great idea, and very well executed. I could see something like this doing well on phones using the players photo album as the image source. Good stuff :8ball:

KartVania by tifu 2018-04-25T14:18:07Z

Interesting idea. The Kart was to slow for my liking though. Good stuff :8ball:

Don't Shoot (Visual Novel / Tac Shooter by tigerrenko 2018-04-26T13:22:06Z

I liked the concept. I think there could be a really good game in there. The timer was too unforgiving though. I couldn't get the mouse pointer from the continue button to the options in time let alone read any of them and make a choice. On mobile with a swipe left or right control system I could see this being a fun time waster. Good stuff :8ball:

Wizsnooks by kroltan 2018-04-30T07:17:33Z

Great game. I love games like this, a little bit 'off the wall' and kooky. Great execution too. The graphics where fantastic and fit the game well. Sound added to the feel without distracting. I'd play a game like this beyond the compo. Only niggle is the snooker physics where a bit wonky on occasion, but only a minor gripe. Awesome entry. Good stuff :8ball:

¶City by Sophie 2018-04-25T14:44:53Z

Ha! It felt really weird being a civil engineer in a text adventure. The juxtaposition of the two genres was great. Good stuff :8ball:

Binary Blocks by Antti Haavikko 2018-04-27T20:33:49Z

This is brilliant. It's totally my kind of game. I like everything about it. I played without realising there's a secret ending so gonna have to play again to try and find it. Not complaining though love it. Good stuff :8ball:

Survival Chess by Chuck Zelvis 2018-04-30T11:15:54Z

This is really good. You've meshed the two genres together excellently. I was really surprised by how well they worked as one. You came up with an inventive solution to the pawns movements issue. I liked it a lot, and think there's a full game in this with some extra work. Good stuff :8ball:

HomicIDLE by Luke Brown 2018-04-26T13:45:59Z

Ha Ha :laughing: That was great fun. Why can't I rate the audio? It was great. I cracked up at the first horse going "neigh". I finally bought everything from the shop, but stopped playing shortly after that as there didn't seem like there was any more to it. Good stuff :8ball:

Gardenvania by onionable 2018-04-29T18:50:19Z

Really good for your first Ludum Dare. Great graphics, and I was really feeling the mood. It feels like a world I would like to find out more about. Possibly a few too many buttons, crouch could have doubled for interact, plant seed, and water plant. The platform physics could have had a tweak or two as well. But those are minor gripes. Awesome work. Good stuff :8ball:

Action Chess by Siimphh 2018-04-23T13:46:19Z

Looks like we had similar ideas. I went for real time chess too. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/street-chess

Unfortunately I couldn't get yours to run on Mac OSX. It says it failed to load the sprites in the terminal window. I hope you get the OSX build running before the compo voting ends as I really want to compare how we both interpreted real time chess.

Action Chess by Siimphh 2018-04-25T13:36:43Z

I got it running on OSX. The menu screen glitched out, but I was able to play the game. Great entry. I like that you kept the winning condition as check mate. For some reason I didn't think that would work in real time, but it does. Good stuff :8ball:

Rogue Poker by Balint 2018-04-27T08:18:25Z

Loved it. At first I was finding it really hard but then I realised I could move diagonally (d'oh!) and won my very next game. Exceptionally well done to have worked out all the mechanics, balancing, and such in the jam time. Good stuff :8ball:

Him & I by Aaronacus 2018-04-26T09:10:10Z

:open_mouth: WTF did I just play! Great art style and mood, but man is it a little messed up. I got both endings. Can't say either of them were particularly happy endings. Very solid jam entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Rapid Bullet-Hell Blitz Chess by Ismael Rodriguez 2018-04-25T13:56:53Z

Great fun. Instantly understood what was happening and what I had to do. The concept works really well as a game. I liked the little touch at the end of dressing up the score as an ELO rating. Really enjoyed myself. Good stuff :8ball:

unBLOCK the exit! by fjlucas 2018-04-27T11:11:21Z

Great artwork. I could play games in that art style all day long. Not sure I have the manual dexterity for a game like this, but I did complete a couple of levels. Excellent entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Monstrously Hunky by CraigFortune 2018-04-25T15:16:52Z

Fun and funny little time waster. Good stuff :8ball:

POLITICS VS GAMES LOL by Lyje 2018-04-25T15:08:19Z

It's like deconstructing game design through political satire. Good stuff :8ball:

Rolling Soccer by palsina 2018-04-27T09:55:16Z

Very clever idea, especially the scoring. Everything works well enough together. I could imagine a Japanese studio actually making something like this. Good stuff :8ball:

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T11:43:53Z

@tolviere Oops! Sorry, there was a typo in the link. It should be working now. Thanks for the heads up :8ball:

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T12:28:50Z

@tolviere Oh no! It should show some Emojis, and they are pretty important to the whole game. I may have to swap out the built in Emojis for inline images. Damn that's a game breaker if it happens to everyone. Thanks for the warning :8ball:

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T16:19:01Z

@tolviere Okay, I've bundled in an Emoji font with the game now so it doesn't rely on system Emojis. Hopefully they should appear for everyone now.

@bambutcher > FYI: At the start of the game, protect your ears))

What happens at the start? There shouldn't be any loud noises.

Thanks for playing :8ball:

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T20:16:20Z

@tolviere You're 100% right about the action prompts. In my head they were supposed to be like tooltips, but I styled them the same as the menu buttons, and well Godot has tooltips built in that I could have used. Live and learn d'oh! :8ball:

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-27T19:01:47Z

@local-minimum Thanks for the video. That's valuable insight and showed me a couple of bugs. The tornadoe seems to be two characters trying to carry each other. That shouldn't be possible but I guess I missed something. Also the rainbow triggered too early as the wolf wants the fish to finish the game. Thanks for taking the time to record the vid :8ball:

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-30T10:25:05Z

@allax Sorry you found the controls really bad. Could you elaborate on the game making nasty sounds whenever you clicked. It really shouldn't be making any nasty sounds, and it should only make sounds when interacting with objects, not when clicking anywhere. Anyway thanks for playing :8ball:

Samband by Ava Skoog 2026-04-20T20:12:38Z

Loved it! Great entry. But for some reason I found it so hard. In the end I had to write down the colours and their numbers and put it on screen next to the game. I think I'm getting old and my brain is broken. I finished it though. Love the skeuomorphic design, in fact I love skeuomorphic apps in general. The audio works great and is actually integral to the game. Not sure what else to say other than you smashed it! :8ball:

Kiipu by Zathnic 2026-04-24T09:45:57Z

This reminded me a lot of Knytt, which is not a bad thing. I enjoyed it and there was plenty to explore. The platforming was fine for me in the main; I did struggle with the bounce control, but it wasn't too bad. The graphics serve their purpose, and the audio didn't get in the way. Solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

What's that signal? by Local Minimum 2026-05-08T10:16:48Z

What a surreal experience. I enjoyed the weirdness of it. Clever use of textures, and the voice acting was great. The umbrella bug seems to be if you enter from the kitchen you can't trigger it, but if you enter from a different direction it works. Thank you for the experience. Good stuff :8ball:

Drone Supervisor II Online by Jimbly 2026-04-29T13:16:39Z

Holy crap this is a compo game. There is so much going on here. I must say I'm impressed. Everything was pretty straight forward, and getting all those combo recipes going was fun. I also found myself bopping along to the repetitive drone noises for some reason. Good stuff :8ball:

Free wristband (lots of work) by Meta-link 2026-05-07T21:10:57Z

The graphics are awesome. Moving around the festival was indeed 'stressful', and I echo what everyone else has said about moving through the crowds. It's a simple concept, but you execute it really well, and it had me playing for much longer than I probably should. Great work. Good stuff :8ball:

Signal search by notime4games 2026-04-20T20:55:52Z

The concept for this is awesome. I don't think I've seen anything like it before, and it was very intuitive to use. And I actually wished there was more when I'd done everything so that's good. I so want to get that little guy back to his family. Good stuff :8ball:

In the Crib by ruthiepee 2026-05-08T09:43:55Z

This is the cutest game. I loved everything about it. I've done the 'Ludum Dare while parenting' thing before now, so I feel you on that. Not much more to say. Good stuff :8ball:

**FYI:** Voice acting from others is allowed in the compo as long as the recordings were made during the event. It's under compo special exemptions in the rules along with fonts and company logos and stuff.

Semaphore Euphoria by Papaver 2026-04-23T13:21:51Z

I'm not sure what I was expecting going into this, but that was tons of fun. I liked that if you made a mistake you could still complete the level if the message was legible enough (Of course excluding the last level). The graphics were readable which is important for a game like this. Great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Aurora 4: Prelude by ghost-in-the-toast 2026-04-23T13:03:31Z

I like the fake demo disk aesthetic this has going on. All the graphics are great, and I love the effects on the title screen. Audio was good to and fitted in with the style. Gameplay was pretty standard for a shooter of this type. It managed to keep me entertained for a while, but I must admit I wasn't great at it; One hit kill was a bit too much for my skill level in the end. All that said it's still a solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Peter's divine intervention by metalgear 2026-05-07T20:33:11Z

That was good fun. I enjoyed it a lot. The graphics had a great charm to them, and the audio did it's job well. The concept and core mechanic was great; Simple but had a lot of mileage to it. Maybe the rooms were a little spares, but that's not a problem for a compo game. All-in-all a great entry. good stuff :8ball:

Signal of the Dead by exofrenon 2026-05-08T09:27:09Z

That was fun. I actually played it a few times to completion I was having so much fun. Pulse Weapon is OP though. I got it to +9 or +10 and it was destroying everything. Everything works well. Looks and sounds good. Controls were more than functional. All round a solid entry :8ball:

Lighthouse Diaries by Tomssuli 2026-05-08T11:25:54Z

This is great fun. I was a little confused at first, but once I realised what was going on everything made sense. Great visuals and audio. The levels are challenging but not too hard. And there's a lovely mix of mechanics that work well together. Good stuff :8ball:

Signal The Charge by Ty Victorson 2026-04-27T10:32:05Z

That music had me humming along. I loved the castle collapsing as you won. Everything has so much charm to it. The game was a little easy even on hard mode, but it was lots of fun for a jam game. Man, I'm still humming that tune, it's so catchy. Good stuff :8ball:

Round-a-doodle-doo by Fupi 2026-04-23T15:41:06Z

What a great game. It also fried my brain when the action really started to ramp up. So much polish here for a Compo entry. You did a great job. Not really got any critique as it works great as-is. Good stuff :8ball:

Pouring Rain by T C 2026-04-22T21:19:50Z

Nice solid entry. Looks good, sounds good. The puzzles made sense in the main, but I did brute force the city navigation puzzle in the end. The narrative was interesting to. It made me want to hear more. Good stuff :8ball:

Jammed! by bereg 2026-04-20T12:20:28Z

Do you know what?! That was great fun. Looks good, sounds good, gameplay was a bit quirky, but I'll be blowed if I didn't have a blast bounding over those hills. Great entry :8ball:

Star Traveller by nyxkn 2026-04-22T21:45:51Z

That art style really drew me in, it's somehow retro but modern, and sketchy but clean all at the same time. The narrative was good, and the minigame was fun, but it was all a bit lean in the interactivity department. I didn't feel I was having much of an affect on the progression. I also realised where the story was heading pretty early on which didn't help my feeling of being an observer rather than a player. I did enjoy it though and stayed all the way through to the end. All-in-all a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Lagworld Relay 59 by alisher_fazilov 2026-05-07T21:36:05Z

That Martian is a menace. This was a lot of fun. I liked the delayed commands and the mixed up signals were an interesting addition. Everything was straight forward and worked well. Good stuff :8ball:

To walk on Strange Roads? by alyd asmar 2026-04-24T13:37:12Z

Wow! A lot of work went into this. I love the art style, and the characters are just delightful. Not sure if I completed the game or did something wrong as it just went back to the title screen. The handbook is great, not only the content but the design work too. Excellent work all round. Good stuff :8ball:

This would be great multiplayer. A very interesting take on the deathmatch/battle royal formula. It needs a little more to do in between the chairs falling, but for a jam game that can be excused. Good stuff :8ball:

Did I get the record!?

Nice game. Everything was straight forward enough. Once you've upgraded everything to max there's not much else to do, but it was fun up until then. Good stuff :8ball:

**EDIT** Seems image uploads are broken. I survived 56 waves BTW

Diamond Synth by ironcutter 2026-04-27T10:51:29Z

I'm not really musically minded, but that was a lot of fun to play around with. I was able to get some interesting sounds out of it. I liked this a lot. Good stuff :8ball:

The Marshaller by BoroBoro 2026-04-22T10:28:00Z

I crashed so many planes. It's an interesting twist on the rhythm game. Lots of fun, if a little intense at times. Adding a custom level editor was a cool addition so bonus points for that. Good stuff :8ball:

WORLD5 by awalone 2026-04-22T10:44:41Z

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I sure as hell look cool doing it. Had great fun trying out the weapons and flying around. This game has loads of potential, but yes, I do agree with the sentiments of that memo. Good stuff :8ball:

Broken Jukebox by Pimeko 2026-05-07T21:23:53Z

Great visuals. Those dancing clubbers are adorable. Interesting concept, and lots of fun to play. My only complaint was that I couldn't unplug the jukebox. If you're going to put that enticing plug graphic there at least let me pull it out and ruin all those clubbers nights. Awesome entry. Good stuff :8ball:

DISCONNECTED by Allax 2026-05-08T11:11:05Z

Well, that held my attention all the way to the end. I love weird stuff like this. No complaints about any of it. Good stuff :8ball:

Meerkat Panic! by yoko-san 2026-04-29T13:33:50Z

Haha! Very funny game. I found it quite easy, not always a bad thing for a jam game, and gave up my duties in the end. There's a punishment for failing to alert for a predator but no punishment for 'crying wolf' when there wasn't one. Maybe a three strikes for false alarms could have help there. Either way I had a blast shouting at Alan and the gang. Good stuff :8ball:

SIGMAIL SPACE BOSS by Ticrum 2026-04-27T10:38:07Z

I've not rated this as it crashes my whole machine. I see the game for about 2 seconds. No error, machine just restarts. That's on Windows 11. I tried twice same result. Sorry :8ball:

The Signal of the Universe by Planetary 2026-04-22T09:51:26Z

There's a lot in here for a jam game. All the parts work as they should, but I found it a bit trial and error to work out what was going on, even after reading all the instructions first. But once you get the idea of what to do things improve greatly. My favourite part was shooting the incoming missiles; There was something so satisfying about blowing up a missile on your tail at the last second. Good fun :8ball:

Synesthezoo by TheLastSlowpoke 2026-04-29T12:17:42Z

This is insane. The good kind. It absolutely fried my brain. I don't think I've ever played anything like this before. I really struggled on the last two and found myself relying on the fractal visualisation more than the sound. And the fractal screen was a cool addition too. Loved it :8ball:

Cyber Resonator (Spicy Hot Chocolate 5) by Kartoffel Licht 2026-04-24T13:15:14Z

There are some interesting concepts in here. I liked that each level changed up the formula and kept things fresh, and I managed to make it to the end easily enough. A solid entry. Good stuff :8ball:

SigRider by LinsCd 2026-04-23T15:02:59Z

What a cool concept. I do love alternative controls. It worked well enough but was a little hard to control. That wasn't enough to put me off though as I had a lot of fun with it and lingered on this entry more than most. I like the art style choice too. And combined with the audio made for quite a chill experience. Yea, that was fun. Good stuff :8ball:

Stray Flare by The Spinning Sofa 2026-04-22T09:35:35Z

I liked it. Very atmospheric and it looks great. I found the shadows a little hard to see when there were a few bushes around, but that only meant I took a more cautious approach which help with the spooky mood. All round a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

Trace In The Either by Arsmih24 2026-04-23T11:01:50Z

Great work guys. I played it through to the end. Nice, interesting writing. Visuals and audio were top notch. The gameplay was simple, but acted a as a nice vehicle to push the story along. I had a little chuckle when I checked out the trash folder. No complaints really; I think it did everything you wanted it to. Good stuff :8ball:

I really should've gotten a cable connection by pidifussel 2026-04-22T10:06:10Z

@mr-tj Just an FYI but fixing bugs after the deadline is allowed, especially game breaking bugs like this one. Just don't add any features or content and your golden.

As for the game I really enjoyed it. It was really good fun whizzing my signal across the cosmos to peoples' homes. I really like the improvisation for cloud effects. A very fun concept. Good stuff :8ball:

SIGNAL:D by FireFish 2026-04-29T13:57:36Z

Full marks for innovation. I also had a lot of fun with this. It was very therapeutic pulling loads of face at my computer. It would have been nice to have been able to get more info on reactions from the images rather than the text, but I get that it probably wasn't possible in the time allowed. I loved the interface as well. having to put in all the codes was a nice touch. Good stuff :8ball:

Traffic Jam by MountainGoose 2026-04-20T12:07:23Z

Firstly, congrats on the first jam game completed. That's worthy enough of praise on its own. Secondly, I liked it. There were a few quirks, like I could only create a new group when the game wasn't paused, but I could only add lights to a group when the game was pause. The idea of a traffic lights management game is very cool, and I could see this being expanded with lots of cool features. Good stuff :8ball:

Last Frequency by Catanus 2026-04-23T15:21:36Z

That was fun. It's got a great aesthetic. Gameplay was loads of fun. And the chill tones helped my stay relaxed whilst playing. There was a good bit of variation in the gameplay too. Great fun. Good stuff :8ball:

Hired or Homeless by dqso 2026-04-29T12:49:44Z

Ha! This one gave me a good laugh. I liked giving inappropriate answers more than giving correct ones which probably didn't help my cause, but I think I did okay. Simple idea, but lots of fun running around trying to find the right answers. Good stuff :8ball:

ROGER-ROGER, LOGGER! by CHAD-GPT 2026-04-29T13:23:48Z

Love the visuals on this one. It has good audio too. As others have said I also found the frogs a bit too fast. maybe they could start of slow until you've killed a few before ramping up to full speed. It was a lot fun though. Good stuff :8ball:

Tooth Fairy by FLemming1k 2026-05-08T08:50:05Z

:open_mouth:

I have nothing more to add :8ball:

i love you, too by tolviere 2026-05-07T20:14:32Z

Great work. I got really good at matching the signals by the end. The main mechanic is simple enough, but still highly enjoyable. Everything was understandable with clear visuals and audio. At no point was I confused what to do. Good stuff :8ball:

Deadly Cliffs by Michl Bayer 2026-04-20T20:34:39Z

This is so polished. And I don't just mean the visuals. Great work on that for 72 hours. The gameplay is interesting too with the whole indirect controls in the lighthouse to indirectly control the ships in the harbour. The narrative/setting was also interesting and had me wondering about 'the man' automating all those lighthouses. I did have a couple of nitpicks. The font was hard to read, especially so as I'm dyslexic. I'd have liked to have been able to turn the cranks with Q/E as well. But they are only minor quibbles. Great work :8ball:
