LD42 — Running out of space

Vampyre by ildfuglen 2018-08-13T19:35:37Z

Can't add much more than what's already been said! A super creative use of the theme and awesome execution.

MY SYSTEM IS GETTING HACKED by 0x0 2018-08-13T18:29:23Z

This is so well done! My only crit is I had a little trouble finding a way to quit after I was done playing. An exit button on the death screen would be great! But other than that I loved this, the tiny details are great, especially the sound fxs and the kickback of the gun. Makes everything you do seem so powerful!

Postman by tulipekoni 2018-08-13T18:19:51Z

It's simple, but cute! This is nitpicky, but it would be nice if there was a card for the controls in the game. It controlled a little weird in browser too, hard to double jump and I could never seem to throw boxes in front of me, only behind...BUT I still had fun playing! And I loved the graphics a lot!

This is my life now by Reivert 2018-08-13T18:43:11Z

Artistically well executed! I love the idea of a cookie clicker, and the personal space interpretation is neat! I wasn't sure how the mechanics game worked though, I seemed to just run out of personal space randomly, and couldn't figure out how to affect that, other than it had something to do with the window. But the mood, art, and messages were so well done, I didn't mind too much, it was just a bummer I couldn't figure out how to play for much longer than 30 seconds or so!

No Vacancy by Arbosis 2018-08-13T23:58:35Z

Well done! Would have liked the interact button to be something easier to reach with my left hand, like the space bar, so i could keep my right hand on the mouse while trying to find a place to dump the bodies, but the idea, design, and overall execution (haha) is great!

Archer Librarian by Neverdusk 2018-08-13T23:50:53Z

I love this concept/idea, and I especially love how well done the animation for shooting the books is. Was having a little bit of trouble getting the books onto the shelves though, went at it from just about every angle but whether they ended up on the shelf or not seemed to be at random. Otherwise, it's a fun little game!

LD44 — Your life is currency

Traade by Ace17 2019-04-29T08:19:54Z

Really liked this one! Puzzles were simple, but clever and fun to navigate through.

Drytown by DavidPIxel 2019-04-29T22:32:01Z

This is excellent! Loved playing through this, the way it played and the art was great!

Stranger Coins by grena 2019-04-29T18:45:39Z

Love the concept, and the initial twist was fun. I think I got caught in a loop after the second part of the first stage started, unless I'm just missing a puzzle, but I enjoyed what I played!

Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno 2019-04-29T11:07:50Z

This is excellent! II liked that this had an element of clearing out and rebuilding, really set it apart from other clickers I've played. Also the art, music, and sfx were solid!

Self Surgeon by chuckeles 2019-04-29T10:55:14Z

Nice concept! Loved the art and the mechanics were pretty neat.

Ollo's Life by Memel06 2019-04-29T07:38:17Z

Love the art and the whole gameboy aesthetic. Loved the idea as well!

Credit Card Rampage by playball 2019-04-29T20:00:55Z

Pretty challenging, but fun and well executed. Great job!

Trinket Town by Flightless 2019-04-29T18:29:50Z

Cool concept! Really liked the pickpocketing gameplay, challenging but fun!

Paid in Blood by Scott Steffes 2019-04-29T18:20:40Z

Enjoyed the cards mechanic! I got unlucky fairly often but it was fun while it lasted!

Crossroads by jka 2019-04-29T09:10:17Z

Great job! I wish I had a little bit more time to sign the contract for upgrades, but had fun playing otherwise!

Paylife by deformhead 2019-04-29T07:23:34Z

I like that the difficulty goes up while you're making it easier to get your score up faster. Neat way to balance the game. The art is nice too! Great job!

Sigillis by JUSTCAMH 2019-04-30T10:54:44Z

Impressive work! Loved the idea and it was executed fairly well!

Goals by vanLeiden 2019-04-29T20:21:10Z

Fantastic work! Fun puzzles and great overall mood. Loved it!

Money is Time by BIOBOOSTERPIXEL 2019-04-29T10:03:10Z

Really stellar little game. If the flashing didn't start hurting my eyes after a while I could sit there and put coins in for hours.

LD45 — Start with nothing

Vicious Cycle by ryzy27 2019-10-08T10:10:49Z

This was absolutely phenomenal! Extremely impressive end-product for such a short amount of time. I love that the gameplay was so simple, yet I felt complicit in everything as a player. I ran into some issues trying to get it to play right in full screen on my laptop, but definitely going to bookmark this to play on my desktop later. Fantastic job!

Draw Your Own Adventure! by detectiveLosos 2019-10-08T02:58:57Z

Extremely well done! It was fun trying to be as outrageous as possible with the drawings and then seeing it all play out. This team should be proud!

Tale of the Toad King by Beebo Studios 2019-10-08T07:14:45Z

This was so delightful! Love the designs of all the frogs so much!

Memory Palace by MattWagar 2019-10-07T23:46:15Z

I loved this! So clever and personal. The only way I could think to improve it would be to add a little ambiance music, but otherwise, fantastic!

Nature Garden by redmountainman1 2019-10-07T23:02:50Z

Loved this! Simple, but implemented the theme well. Really liked the pixel art!

From Rags to Riches by ToC 2019-10-08T08:44:04Z

There's a lot of cool concepts happening here! I like the turn-based/clicker/tactical map format, though I wish I felt a little more involved as a player and level progression was a little smoother and clearer. With more development though, I could see myself really getting into something like this!

Fast Bastard by eupde 2019-10-08T04:54:10Z

This was so much fun! Very clever use of the theme, loved flipping the cards for the gameplay and excellent use of color for the artwork.

A Field of Flowers by KeithSwanger 2019-10-08T11:03:10Z

Very lovely. The gameplay feels great. I actually would love a smaller map with a couple more things to do. It would add to the relaxing mood just being able to tend to a little garden! But what you have here is very special!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deep-fry Deeper by Ithildin 2021-04-27T02:29:18Z

This is a gorgeous, fun game! It took a while to get a handle on what was expected with each level, but I think that was okay because it was very easy to just play again. I'm sure others will compare it to Cooking Mama, etc, but it gave me major old-school online flash games vibes with its high replay value. The sound effects definitely helped on that front. I got a little frustrated with the chocolate part. The really fast speed feels way too fast, so it's sometimes a bummer when you had a row of perfect churros and then got unlucky at the end. I think the random aspect of the speeds adds a nice challenge though, so while it feels a little unbalanced, overall I like it. Great work!

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-26T10:05:34Z

This was so well done! I think it would be nice if the abilities were a bit cheaper so one could see more of the game in a shorter amount of time, but it was definitely fun enough for me to play for quite a bit!

How to Swim! by backurio 2021-04-27T00:09:42Z

I don't usually go for these kinds of game experiences, but I ended up making quite a few attempts. Being able to use a controller was particularly nice. I feel like I got a handle on the swimming itself rather quickly, but most of my frustration came from fighting the buoyancy of the player character. Don't know if that's a criticism, it's possible the mechanics could use some balancing, but it could also just be my own skill. (was never good at QWOP lol)

The music was very relaxing, and definitely kept me around to keep trying longer. The sfx are nice as well. I also liked the bubble particles that showed up whenever you completed a stroke successfully. Not only was it a nice touch, but it was a useful hint to show you've executed the move properly. It would be cool if the PC had some more character to it, like a diving or swim suit. I think some texturing, color, and size variation on the background elements would be nice too. However, that's pretty nitpicky, it looks good enough to service the game and that's perfectly fine!

Molehills by voidfishing 2021-04-26T20:21:56Z

This is such a cute game! The art/music/sfx are great. While the gameplay is very simple, I feel like you could make some really challenging puzzles with the limited movement, so I think it's a pretty good proof of concept!

The Bothnia Trench by Milestone Games 2021-04-26T23:38:25Z

I love point and clicks, so this was awesome! I liked the coffee/vial puzzle in particular. I thought it was very clever. The graphics and music are nice as well!

Beat-Dive by ShotgunSamurai_ 2021-04-27T09:40:45Z

I like the concept and also thought the atmosphere/mood was well conveyed. I would love to see this with a slightly faster scrolling speed and more varied platforms. You definitely have the start of something quite fun.

LD49 — Unstable

Dogs++ by Jezzamon 2021-10-05T09:12:30Z

Loved the puzzles here. They weren't too difficult, but still very satisfying to figure out, which is pushed even further by a wonderfully simple mechanic. SFX for the pups would really take it to the next level, but that's nitpicky. Definitely a favorite for me.

Birdbird's Life Balancing Agency by Togimaro 2021-10-05T02:33:57Z

So cute and wonderfully implemented use of the theme. The art and sfx were great as well! I liked how some objects had different properties to make you think about how you organized everything. Great job!

Nuclear Lasagna by unnamed1334 2021-10-05T02:24:55Z

Interesting concept! Despite the simplistic graphics, I was intrigued enough to play a couple rounds. Nice spin on the theme!

Abrakaboom by Panzershrek 2021-10-05T10:19:19Z

Nice work! The graphics really work, and the limited color palette and music/sfx set the mood well. The gameplay is deceptively challenging!

Captain Canary's Crash Landing Calamity by Beebo Studios 2021-10-04T23:45:30Z

Loved the art and audio here! The retro vibe was implemented really well. I could see this being expanded upon with more levels and mini-goals. Great work!

Hunger Of The Elder Slime by JohnLee Cooper 2021-10-05T02:18:04Z

This was so cute! Loved the combination of minesweeper and tower defense, very clever! The art and music was lovely too. Excellent work!

Solar Colonies by Fenderbate 2021-10-05T02:45:01Z

Fun little game! I enjoyed the UI and graphics!

Fickle Fortune by Tobias Maushammer 2021-10-06T00:59:48Z

Love the innovation here, the gameplay and the aesthetic work together perfectly. I think if the obstacles were a bit bigger or the lighting was brighter so you could see them coming, it would take it to the next level. (More opportunities to consider strategy too, do you jump or swerve?) As is, I was having a bit of trouble figuring out why I was taking damage until my second try. Great work though and this is totally something that could be extensively expanded upon for a full length game, really impressive for 72 hours!

Un-Ren-Table by WegPast 2021-10-05T01:48:17Z

Loved the execution of this! Very in line with the theme and fun to play.

Sakana-san's Ungrateful Job by Danilo Freire 2021-10-04T23:40:17Z

Oh this was excellent. Very polished and lots of fun! I don't think I was particularly good at it, but I had a great time. The only note I can think of is the control scheme would be a bit less awkward if tiptoe and quick order were mapped to keys on the right side of the keyboard. However that's minor when considering the great execution of the concept and theme.

Go Hard! by bernard-bumblebutt 2021-10-05T01:24:22Z

I like how the lack of thrust made the game a bit more challenging! I think some debuffs really leaning into the unstable aspect of the theme would have been fun, but sometimes making something polished and functional works out better than trying to shoehorn yourself into the theme. Good work!

Cultist aboard ! by Guilloteam 2021-10-05T10:10:34Z

The sound design really took this to the next level. The text was visceral and compelling. There's not a ton going on and yet I felt unsettled the entire time. (Tying the sailor to the mast was truly horrific and you didn't even get into the details, my brain was already primed to fill it in.) Really fantastic take on the eldritch horror genre.

Crazy Cauldron by Quite Good 2021-10-05T00:17:45Z

This was so well done! Great gameplay, sfx, and art. Everything was very cohesive and worked great! I did run into a bug where I dropped the potion bottle and had to restart the game for it to come back, but I just made sure not to drop it after that. Some sort of "recipe" guide could be interesting for the more complex colors- it could even just be hints instead of telling the answer outright. However, that's being pretty nitpicky for a very well polished entry!

Home Tripper by Lemonthunder 2021-10-05T01:39:52Z

The writing in this was a lot of fun! It kind of gave me Disco Elysium vibes with the humor and tone.

LD51 — Every 10 seconds

Coffee Rush by Trusty 2022-10-05T21:48:28Z

Really impressive to do this all in Blender! The angle was a little tricky to get my head around, but it wasn't so bad once I started playing. The line very quickly got overwhelming but that felt like part of the challenge.

Headcount by Bogden 2022-10-04T04:17:44Z

Extremely well done! The UI and sound design really pull this simple concept together.

LD57 — Depths

Assessment 57 by manabreak 2025-04-08T08:08:37Z

The polish on this is fantastic! The combination of the music and UI really elevates the simplicity. Also, I don't mind the slow intro. It sets the tone in a way that makes the game feel like it exists in its own world.

Dino Rush by pixelstuff 2025-04-08T14:41:08Z

So cute and fun! The art is very well done. Great work!

Dungeon Cartographer by finntastico 2025-04-08T08:21:52Z

Great work! Love the concept and I enjoyed the execution. Definitely would enjoy a larger game based around this idea.

Onerous Orbits by Ian McD 2025-04-08T04:23:00Z

Oh what an excellent take on the puzzle game genre! I could easily get lost in this for hours. Great work!

Detector by AlphaBetaSoup 2025-04-08T04:18:11Z

I like the concept! I found it a little challenging, but it was satisfying when I dug something up. :)

Antz vs Plantz by Blue Pin Studio 2025-04-08T04:28:21Z

Great fun and I love how the gameplay, visuals, and audio all tie together. Excellent work!

HIM(1).Locked by fosf0 2025-04-08T06:25:25Z

Got stuck after accessing the first binned file, but I still really liked this! The atmosphere is excellent and the inclusion of the videos is seriously impressive.

Tasty Holes by TailsGameDev 2025-04-08T04:08:56Z

This was so fun! Delightful little arcade-esque game.

Resurface by r8teful 2025-04-08T15:15:01Z

Didn't expect this to be such a relaxing game. The only reason I didn't finish was because I just got unlucky with how much blue ore spawned (or maybe I just didn't mine far enough?) Still got rather close, and I liked that each ore felt a little different to mine by how easily they gave way to the mining laser. Great work!

DUCKDEPF by Jona Scheidig 2025-04-08T05:23:28Z

What a great little game! I love jams that take a simple concept and execute it well. Nice job!

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-08T07:18:59Z

Great game! Impressively fleshed out for a weekend. All the games played well and the art and sound really tied it together.

BURIED by meylish 2025-04-08T15:29:25Z

Really liked the mood of this one and thought the implementation of the physics was interesting. If there was a little more weight to it I think it would really make the gameplay feel like a skill worth mastering.

into the forest depths by Fliegen 2025-04-08T05:01:25Z

Love the art! Love how gruesome things get too. Could definitely see myself playing a fully realized game like this. Great work!

Ruby Hole by Aleksey4adoff 2025-04-08T07:48:08Z

Once you get the hang of this it's a blast. I got to the end and just wanted to keep going! Great little strategy puzzler. Definitely going to be one of my favorites. Awesome work!

Poor Julio... by Sayeg 2025-04-08T17:17:42Z

I loved this! Delightfully earnest with a good sense of humor. The writing and the art really took it to the top. Great work!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

C://TEXTRIS.EXE by Ryan Gannon King 2018-04-24T21:25:47Z

Love the mood/overall feel of this game. Entering commands is satisfying, but being able to spell the commands you want feels left up to chance with the blocks you get, which can get discouraging at times. (It took 10 blocks to spell "open" the first time, but only 2 the second.) However, I thoroughly enjoyed the concept and the overall execution!

Paddle Pals by Mors 2018-04-24T21:06:19Z

I've never been great at platformers, so I didn't get too far, but if I had the time I could see myself playing this for hours. It's delightfully challenging, fun, and the visuals are great. Would have liked to know pressing down gets you out of breakout mode earlier, but that's a small criticism of this seamless blend of two genres.
