LD55 — Summoning

Beckoned to Battle by firellon 2024-04-17T19:42:00Z

Wow thats really unique game with a challenging gameloop, i had lots of fun! And the Enemys are really smart! I didnt manage to win, but I am sure if I played better I had a chance, seemed pretty good balanced to me. Only thing that bothered me a bit was that the Gameplay just felt a bit slow because capturing and collecting troups took a bit long for my taste. But its really addicting, there is a good chance I come back to this game and try it again!

Doppel Effect by Wendel Scardua 2024-04-16T14:29:09Z

I really enjoyed the puzzle game approach. I liked figuring out the mechanics to progress in the game! If I had more patience, I would probrably have even more fun, thinking of the best possible solutions for every game. I was a bit to lazy to focus myself for long :D

Stellar V by ahistyap 2024-04-18T07:51:34Z

Nice Idea! Very clean Art! I also like the 2,5D approach it fits really smoothly. The camera was a bit jerky :/ Unluckily i didnt manage protect the people effieciently since i had no overview where enemys are spawning

Demanager by satacat 2024-04-16T15:52:45Z

Amazing Idea, I loved the graphics, the retro look and I am a big fan of the Audio! The Intro was a bit much text for my taste, would have been cool to have it voice recorded since you already have some amazing Voice Acting? I also must admit that I didnt understand the exact system how to summon the right demons.

Ghostly Lens by MorePixels 2024-04-17T14:42:26Z

I was so scared when I misstyped something and the Ghost suddenly attacked me! I didn't expect that kind of a jump scare but I kinda enjoyed it :D

I liked the GameLoop, pretty straight forward (which I like). I didnt understood the cat-petting-countdown first, but I was even happier after i worked it out and had a successfull petting experience

summon-cake by Odysseus 2024-04-15T14:51:35Z

Great Fun Summoning Experience! Especially if you did it in 8 hours!

๐Ÿ‘ S.H.E.E.P - Sheep Hell Emissaries, Eradicate Purity ๐Ÿ‘ by Shenoit 2024-04-18T07:39:33Z

Fun idea! I also always saw the advertisment and was disappointed that a lot of these games dont have the same gameplay as displayed :D The peformance is a bit laggy, also some physics are a bit scetchy. for example its a bit unclear what happens if the group of sheep gets seperated in Level 2. I got a game over because the smaller group died on one side while the other group was doing fine :( Great Game!

Rain Summon by Alexandru Barbanoua 2024-04-17T20:39:06Z

Somehow i didnt find the item in the cave even thought i went there first by instinct :( Anyways the game is visually really stunning and works well as a cute little plattformer! Everything already looks really polished!

Zodiac Legends by Brennan 2024-04-16T17:02:03Z

Great Gameplay! Everything is straight forward, easy to understand and very effiently visualized without losing its calm mood! I think the Summon-Choice-Upgrades are already really high developed for a Game Jam. Very enjoyable!

Pizza Lord : Slice to the beat ! by Mealky 2024-04-16T16:26:15Z

Love the idea and implementation! I struggled a bit remembering the directions and rythm as well as performing them perfectly in time. I think a bigger range of tolerance could have useful for casual players who aren't that skilled at either multitasking, rythm or memerizing.

Goblimancer! by phost.dll 2024-04-16T16:49:48Z

I like the mood of the game. The music fits really well and it looks fun. Unfortunatly it took me a while to understand the way to spawn things and even longer to realise who actually deals dmg to which enemy. I think it could be better visualized which creature deals dmg to which enemy or maybe they could all deal dmg but have different efficiencies? Also I must admit, that my fingers hurt a bit from spamming these 3-2-1 combinations, especially the magic potion :D

Blood Rite by LetsSnack 2024-04-16T14:56:01Z

I'm stunned by the optic and mood! In my opinion the art is simply insane! It took me a while to understand the controls since i didn't realised you actually have a tutorial in your game menu! For the gameplay, i think there were bugs since I died at some point without getting attacked. Also the mice get stuck at some places which kinda make it easier for me :D

Mana Mayhem by Stormblessed 2024-04-17T19:54:13Z

Hey, i love the athmosphere, its really trippy and a nice horror mood! Its a fun little challenge to play this, even tho i think its quite hard to survive long keep yourself constantly alive. I think for casual players it might be a bit hard with the mana being so important and mana potions just giving a little amount of mana back. I really like the minimalistic art style and color reduces but i feel like the potions could be a bit more present/ easier to locate :)

TAKE ME HOME by PlintusB 2024-04-17T20:52:31Z

Really cool game, I really enjoy the game loop and Its great how you even slowly introduce the different varieties! Also I really love that you experimented with mixing body parts too :D

Chimera Combat by P3ngui 2024-04-15T15:04:15Z

Hey guys, if the Web Build doesnt work here at the ldjam-site please just go to our [Itch.io-Page]( https://p3ngui.itch.io/chimera-combat)!

Chimera Combat by P3ngui 2024-04-17T13:11:25Z

@ditam Thanks for your feedback! There is no win or end screen, at the moment the goal is to reach the highest round possible. Actually the bosses have the chance to get the same stronger items, so they can also 2hit you if they are lucky. We were thinking of giving a progress of HP for both the Character and the Enemy, so there are not permanent 1shots.

Chimera Combat by P3ngui 2024-04-18T21:52:32Z

@jaxah Hey, I am glad you liked the game! About the music: Since there are different Types of Bodypart (Fairytale, Food and Underground) the music changes to whatever the mix of bodyparts is. For each type there are 2 different layers of music that play depending on how many parts of the same type you have :) So if you have full Underground you will face a pretty battle drum-heavy music while full fairytale will have more strings. In my opinion the best music is probably if you combine everything to have a good mix :D

Chimera Combat by P3ngui 2024-04-18T22:01:38Z

@tommy hey, thank you for the feedback! You are right, the body parts are getting replaced by new ones. The stats on every bodypart are different, so you can replace them to strategically focus on some particular stats. Also there are 3 different rarities which gives a progress since the highest rarity items are much stronger. Combo Bonus are a great idea and we would probably tackle that as the next feature, along with unique items with special Scaling Bonus :D The only Combo Bonus we have right now, is the music adapting to different type-combos

Souls Summoners by Tritax711 2024-04-17T19:13:41Z

I Like it, straight forward approach, had lots of fun spamming monsters and watching them feast on the enenemys :D A bit of variation or progression would probrably have been nice, but since you did it solo in 2 days, its stunning to see how well and smoothly it works!

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

smolHunt by ping78 2024-10-09T14:24:13Z

Smol game with cute smol cat with cute meow meow. Love it. Also the action-camera effects are really awesome and the kill-dash gave me smol Assasins Creed vibes.

Kick That Cat by pndaa 2024-10-09T14:52:38Z

Hillarious idea and art. The kicking mechanic is kinda wonky so it's hard to aim with the cats or even hit them at all. Unlucky that makes it pretty much unplayable. But idea and humor is great even though i really like cats.

Checkmite by Roitchie 2024-10-09T12:06:36Z

Such a great autobattler and it works really well! I could play this forever, only thing that would be cool are infos about the creatures. At the first run you have to try it out and may end up sending a ranged unit into meelee battle. But everything is so polished and awesome. I wanna play more

Goober Goblins: A Nose Picking Simulator by Cam Moore 2024-10-09T14:44:32Z

To be honest this game rly blowed me away! Super smart and funny idea and I love how disgusting everything is! xD

Forest Fighter 3000 by Zype 2024-10-08T13:27:42Z

Hey, nice approach on the theme. Unluckyly i think the hitbox of the enemys is a lot bigger than you would expect. Therefore its hard to survive and navigate through the enemys. I didnt really make any progress in the game because of that. Also i think audio would have helped the game a lot!

Divine Intern by Pcho 2024-10-08T18:40:03Z

I love how you have to manage those paramaters and keep the creatures alive! Unluckyly the steering wheel works really poorly for me but even watching them disappear is oddly satisfying. I would have loved sound on this!

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-07T22:10:08Z

Hey, we fixed the scaling for the windowed Web Version! We still recommend playing on Fullscreen!

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-08T14:04:23Z

@antti-haavikko our game is not developed for MAC/ iOS. Please play it on Windows for the original experience. It also seems to work well on Android.

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-08T17:15:24Z

Hey guys! We uploaded a hotfix to make it more easy for new players. You have more money to spend now!

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-09T12:37:20Z

@mrmaico What kind of device are you using? Did you start the Game in Fullscreen Mode or changed it later?

Btw: The Camera-Controls are explained directly on Start as an UI-Window! :D

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-09T13:32:57Z

@mrmaico Ah okay that makes sense, our game doesn't really support MAC/ iOS. The UI will be buggy :/

It should work fine on Windows or Android. But nice that you tried the game anyways :)

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-09T13:42:33Z

@memz I suppose you also use a MAC/ iOS device? We really didnt developed for iOS, please play it on Windows or Android if you want a not-clunky experience. The extra-tiny creatures are the main part of our approach on the theme. We feel sorry that you disliked it.

Shnorps: Invasion of Blorps by P3ngui 2024-10-09T13:53:59Z

@derllie @julester @rincat @luckix @gerrit @jhax @haoro @stesim @tori @barryrichter Thank you guys for your awesome positive feedback! If you didnt notice already we uploaded a balancing hotfix (more start gold and more gold from creatures) so its easier to get into the game!

Supply and Command by sorro 2024-10-08T19:13:10Z

It's kinda crazy that you just created a functional RTS on a weekend gamejam! I actually lost myself a couple minutes in the gameplay! Obviously there are some things that are missing like pathfinding. Also the combat system in terms of who shoots first wins is a bit random unfair right now. But its a great result for a gamejam and the missing pathfinding even gave it a little strategical twist.

Innocenties Beasties by Mitsukoy 2024-10-08T19:28:55Z

Very cute! Love the creatures. Is it random when to get dmg? Can you avoid it? It doesnt really feel like petting the right creatures was enough to survive :/

LD57 — Depths

Deep Space by anokolisa 2025-04-08T14:16:37Z

Its hard to understand what to do and what the goal is. I realised shooting rocks gives materials. It took me a while to realise i can use them to place on starting platform (only). Can i build more? Why do I build? What do I do against the O2 loss? What is the Goal?

Dig Digger by Transkuja 2025-04-08T20:21:24Z

How the hell did you create such a polished game! You could release it as it is right now! It reminds me a bit of crypt of the necrodancer but as highscore digging game :D Probrably even cooler! Also gotta love the butt animations and the great music implementation :D

Photo Pro Papparazzi by Martta 2025-04-08T20:54:30Z

Great Work! Really cool idea and i really like how the game works with the blurring. Only thing i wish for is more gameplay and levels and different persons to find but that only underlines how well the idea has already been implemented!

Payback Pit by Alem26 2025-04-10T17:48:53Z

Impressive how much effort you put into this game, so many things implemented and it looks really cool! Unfortunately it lagged a bit on my gaming PC and my mouse sensitivity was way too high while running and shooting, while it was somehow too low in the menus to navigate properly. Also, it was hard for me to figure out what to do with the pressure of the waves already attacking me, but maybe with a less laggy experience it would have been more manageable. Your idea to give control instructions in the pause menu is really helpful!

You Gnome the Drill! by P3ngui 2025-04-14T10:39:17Z

@ian-mcd, @mysteriousjuice, @anderson-job-loeffler, @jadener and @detectivedirk: Thank you for your positive feedback on the music! We put some effort into musically creating an atmosphere that matches the vibe and making the soundtrack change the vibe to remind you to return to the drill and battle!

@detectivedirk: I agree on most points! Some of your feedback may already have been changed in the Post Jam build on Itch.io. For our game idea, we specifically didn't want to have more ins and outs to make it riskier to go deeper and harder to calculate the time you need to get back to the drill. But I understand that it's frustrating to memorize and go back the same way.

@j-rara: A map is a great idea! Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to implement it. :/

No Man's Pie by Hannes Bรถrner 2025-04-10T17:25:24Z

I love this game idea, even though I don't even dislike raisins. But its such a refreshing idea to the theme! And the intro is super epic! The gameplay is also smooth, the only thing I wish for is for it to be a bit easier and have some kind of progression like multiple levels and upgrades for the hero! But these wishes are only due to the great idea and its stunning implementation!

A Present for Ama by oliver_day 2025-04-08T15:20:40Z

Do it get it right? There is no goal and nothing to do but to jump down, restart and jump down again? The looks and mood is cute :)

Deep Space Misfortunes by DazyLude 2025-04-08T14:01:50Z

Yay, i won with a score of 19 at the second try! I love this game! And I am stunned by how polished it is. Even thought the gameplay has so much depth (:D) its easy to understand and to play! Small details like that you use the drag and drop mechanic to navigate through the UIs work well to make the player understand how to play. I really don't like a lot of text and mostly clicked through it but i still managed to play and have fun! Also i love the Art and general Vibe of the Game!
