Asterisk by Crychair 2021-05-07T19:03:06Z ♥ 3

Great voice acting and with the bloody certification on the end it showed how greatly the company cares about it's employees :D Nice game, and I loved the menu UI design!

Hook, Line, Key by chiyeon 2021-05-07T18:24:31Z ♥ 1

Such a smooth and simple fishing game! Not overdone, just the basics, very cute!

Far Fetched by johnfn 2021-05-07T17:58:07Z ♥ 2

Very cute graphics, I loved the title screen! The child imagination is also a nice part for the story.

A Sinking Feeling by rpgfaker 2021-05-07T17:49:04Z ♥ 1

Awesome game! I love how you drew the characters and the submarine, simple but interesting. The submarine has a Metal Slug feeling for me :) I like the different stations too, clever multitasking game! Well done!

Magic BedStead by kabaakk 2021-05-07T17:29:44Z ♥ 0

The art looks good and maybe you should show a screenshot about the actual game to show people what it is.

Underneath by HumanIsRed 2021-05-07T17:22:29Z ♥ 1

Amazing stuff! One of the best games in this LD!

Dwarf Inc. by Matthieu Riboulot 2021-05-07T16:48:59Z ♥ 2

A nice little management game! I like the runes and the general feel of the game. The music could be more epic, but hey what can I say we didn't even have a composer in our team :D Great entry guys, I kept playing until 40K

BlaBla by Toryf 2021-05-07T16:16:06Z ♥ 2

Great idea and the graphics are super too! Well done! Oh and I love the main character too. One thing that is weird is the text the passangers are saying. There could have speech bubbles or something.

Mycelisation by bereg 2021-05-07T15:32:45Z ♥ 2

@bereg This is a great game! I just realized we have a common theme with the root growing mushroom, and also that it is a bit more strategic than other takes. Your game has very polished and balanced gameplay, congrats!

Fish'n'Ship by tipyx 2021-05-07T15:02:03Z ♥ 3

What I liked the most are the UI elements! I like it when buttons and icons fit the theme so well. Very well polished graphics, and interesting game.

Nav's Endless Nightmare by Zizhen96 2021-05-07T14:14:16Z ♥ 1

Awesome graphics! I really like the level graphics!

Not deepest dungeon by Lichead studio 2021-05-07T13:16:44Z ♥ 1

The controls are interesting, and I can imagine this game to become something bigger! The camera sometimes went out of the walls of the level, so I could see the stuff in the lower levels too. And there were some other small bugs, but still its a good game for the jam!

Hellevator by baconn00 2021-05-05T18:43:08Z ♥ 1

I really like the drawing mechanics, and the whole concept is quite innovative. Plus the name of the game sounds like a title of a movie Nicholas Cage would be in! :D

ROOTS by TheGreenWorm 2021-05-04T17:49:49Z ♥ 2

Great take on the root theme and a fun and balanced gameplay!

Goldf by Antti Tiihonen 2021-04-28T21:59:05Z ♥ 1

A challenging but fun game! I liked the simplicity of the controls, and how tricky it is sometimes!

Also, you listing the tools you used on your game's page reminded me that whe have to do the same!

LAYERS by Le Slo 2021-04-28T21:34:52Z ♥ 1

I simply loved this one! Figuring out the relationship between the tiles is great! I will play again later for sure!

Fever Dream by RAFFE 2021-04-28T21:00:14Z ♥ 2

Nice soundtrack, shout out to @happytomato!

2021: A Space Odyssey by ChrisCo 2021-04-28T20:48:15Z ♥ 1

Good idea with balancing fuel, health and oxygen, and I liked how the ship was moving between planets and black holes. I would add small stars in the background though! That would give more depth to the game, plus I t would help me feel he speed more. Sometimes the ship was moving and still I felt it is floating in a pool. I know a field of stars is a cliché for space games, but here it would be helpful. A fun little game still, I enjoyed playing it! Congrats!

A Taste of the Past by Emily Pitcher 2021-04-28T20:31:51Z ♥ 2

I loved the storytelling on this game. Cooking foods that my late father used to makes me remember him too. Thank you for this!

Ari's Potion Shop by jeroenpx 2021-04-28T19:58:30Z ♥ 0

I liked the little witches, and the potion mechanics.

INTO THE FRAME by Gaming Night 2021-04-27T15:31:10Z ♥ 1

Very clever, I felr like going backstage and cheating while using he deeper mechanics! Well done!

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-27T11:55:29Z ♥ 1

I only can ask what everyone else does: How did you make this awesome game in such a short time?! The bunny is very cute, music is fun, and he gameplay is spot on for a mining game.

Deep Down 2 by Nyunesu 2021-04-27T11:16:01Z ♥ 0

I could keep playing this for much much longer! Really fun game, well done!

LD45 — Start with nothing (56)

Hell Defender by SpaceMonkey 2019-10-28T09:29:32Z ♥ 1

Hi guys, lastminute rating here, I wanted to play this on the Quest and did not find the time. Good little game overall, a lot more can be added later on. I am glad you put it on Sidequest, many will play it that way! I think changing the little demon characters to something more interesting would be great, more people would pick up the game. What I really liked is, that when an enemy died it was blocking the path from the others! This is forcing them to go other ways and can be used strategically to create barriers too! In Elven assasin the orcs are coming on the exact same path whatever happens, so this is already an improvement!

Seedlings by Raed 2019-10-18T18:36:39Z ♥ 0

Great art style! Chill little game too, I did not get the controls though - how much can one control the way of the seeds?

Bob the Brawler by itsdanidre 2019-10-18T18:11:04Z ♥ 1

Nice entry! I had some good runs, but I stuck in a corner and they just shanked me. The build to block the enemy mechanics are working great!

HONK by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2019-10-18T18:00:33Z ♥ 1

Feels good to play, and I like it how the arena gets dirty over time!

Start With No Cat by MaiMai 2019-10-18T16:18:14Z ♥ 1

Cute design and a nice idea! Cat souls are super cute, like jellyfish :D The gamelplyy was a bit clunky for me, maybe would be better with a controller?

ground zero by whycardboard 2019-10-18T16:09:53Z ♥ 2

Great mood and I love the animation while he walks in the purple haze! And a plus point that you made it in GMS2, I love game maker! Is there anything after the antenna, or that is the end?

Sand&Sea by CaptAndrey 2019-10-17T19:06:39Z ♥ 2

So cute! This game has a really great mood, well done guys!

バクラウBloodless by Danilo Freire 2019-10-15T14:44:32Z ♥ 5

The art is superb!

little BEETLE bottle BATTLE by AP Thomson 2019-10-15T10:21:43Z ♥ 0

This is a very solid entry, I played at least ten times, and my record is 6! Very good twist on the match3 genre, the collecting resources and strategically eliminating enemy castles is great! Well done!

Poppy by Sozey 2019-10-12T11:00:53Z ♥ 1

I really like how the land builds up as you move! If I were you, I would make a gif about it and post it here and on itch.io That would make people more interested to try out your game, as it is very cool and gives a sense of exploration!

TidePool by Rebecca Harrison 2019-10-12T10:47:31Z ♥ 2

Great graphics and very cute overall design! And I like the environmental idea. Control was very confusing though, I ended up spinning around a lot :D 🐡

Beating around the bush by netmute 2019-10-12T10:34:55Z ♥ 1

Wow that was a fun little game! A solid build easy little puzzles and simple but clean design! Well done Sir!

VOID by Almax 2019-10-12T10:25:42Z ♥ 1

Great game mate! I always tell myself I do not like card games and strategy, but who am I kidding? I played 3 games in a row with Void. I found your game on itch.io with the LD45 tag, but there were no link to this page there! I had to search your username to rate. Just add your game link so people can rate your awesome game! :)

VooDoo Jack by Daimen Paquin-Nault 2019-10-12T09:54:57Z ♥ 0

Did anyone finish the game? Or survived a few rounds?

Nice idea, cool low poly concept, but I feel a lack of testing. (we had the same issue, and I get it this is LD, but still) The ghouls are coming too early and fast, the hitboxes are not clear, there are a lot of misses. I play a lot of games, and I could hardly keep up with the enemy while trying to collect resources.

Searching the Unknown by purnatus 2019-10-12T09:32:56Z ♥ 2

Great assets, this style suits the game well! Not seeing the character is an interesting idea but too much for me, at least a small amount of stardust as an indicator please. :)

Zen Man by Team Catwheel 2019-10-12T09:12:40Z ♥ 1

Great mood! Although my cat woke up for the bird sounds while sleeping next to me :D He clearly could not meditate! I like how the circle is your lifebar. Nice UI implementation!

Rebuild of Edge by Twelvoo 2019-10-12T09:07:09Z ♥ 1

Great concept! I liked how you could switch gravity and collider, so from very few elements you could create different levels. What was a bit heavy for me was the UX/UI. I would just make a switch button f there are only these 2 abilities to switch. This would make it more fluid. Also a button state would be nice, as I do not know if the collider is active or not. Just to give the player more feedback.

UNPROTECTED HEX by Quackqack 2019-10-12T08:48:20Z ♥ 0

Now this was really good! I love the modularity, how you collect the elements and shoot everyone up. Would be great to have mousewheel zoom in and out, so the screen size would not be limiting and we could play longer. IT could also start than zoomed in on the player and gradually open up as your ship is growing. Oh and multiplayer would make this amazing. Really nice concept! domination.png

FUTHARK by dikkop 2019-10-12T08:28:54Z ♥ 0

Nice, I love the terraforming! Also, that the vikings appear and eat everything up. Would be nice though if they would build some basic homes or something. Oh, and I know what Ragnarök means, still, I just clicked it on my first play curious what will happen, and than BOOM! :D Maybe the narrator from the beginning can ask 'are you sure you want to wipe it all?' Anyway these are just my ideas, this is a solid little game!

Planet Jumpers by Adrenallen 2019-10-12T08:06:34Z ♥ 1

Wow, different that what I expected from your post! :) After reading that I thought it will be a space managing game - what I have in mind - but this is very nice! At first I was afraid we just gonna play Flappy Spaceship all day, but the landing and exploring and all the different places make this very interesting. Also the highscore system is nice, well done!

Celia's Lightmare by Aj Jones 2019-10-10T16:37:18Z ♥ 2

Great art style, and I really liked the logo!

Last Goodbyes by chawls_v 2019-10-10T16:23:02Z ♥ 1

Nice mood and world building. I liked the visuals, my suggestion would be to add text in the same style as everything else. Good game though, made me think about my dad.

FROGBERT: Road to Culinary Stardom by trmrddr 2019-10-10T16:15:09Z ♥ 1

Very cute visuals! And I am glad to see a kitchen game in the jam, but the controls are very confusing.

Lost Somewhere by burakkurkcu 2019-10-10T16:06:52Z ♥ 1

Cute characters!

Special Topics: Art with Professor Nothi Ng by Blarfnip 2019-10-10T16:02:03Z ♥ 0

It is a nice little painting tool, but not a game. I would add some game elements. Topics to draw, a timer, interaction, something. I think this should have go into the craft category.

Entropioneer by Lucas Ferrantelli 2019-10-10T10:30:41Z ♥ 2

Nice little game, solid mechanics!

Nobody's Journey by Phyro 2019-10-10T09:04:22Z ♥ 1

@justcamh I ran into the exact same bug!

Amor Fati by starvingindie 2019-10-09T20:33:23Z ♥ 1

Shortest game in the jam I think :D Very cute though! +point for "amor fati", the most important sentence of stoicism

GODDAMMIT BOB, I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THAT DAMN HYPER CANCER! by turbo.torbo 2019-10-09T20:29:33Z ♥ 2

Great graphical style and humor! Not a very challenging game though 😅

The Song of Calirum by Blizary 2019-10-09T19:59:20Z ♥ 2

I played like 6 runs in a row and coming back for more! Very nice atmosphere, I ma sitting at the balcony with my pipe and play game after game. The only criticism I can say, is that few times the jokes were braking engagement for me. Like the Biscuit temple and some other cards are somehow anachronistic, and feel a bit out of this world. I am not a spiritual person myself, but I like the vibe here very much, and those felt off a bit.

Barterin' Buckaroo by chelC 2019-10-09T19:16:52Z ♥ 2

One of the nicest graphics in the whole jam! Story was nice too, had a great feel to it.

Something to improve could be the graphics. The start screen looked different style than the shopkeepers, and the city map looked even more different. I like all of them, but they did not fit into the same visual world for me. Oh and the objects seemed distorted a bit when you got them!

But this is really just nitpicking, great game overall!

Pot Luck by Marchmain 2019-10-09T18:39:52Z ♥ 1

Wow very clever! I had to keep track of everything, and could not beat the game at first try! Also, I like the modular design on the faces - I am a designer and I love to reuse elements to create variety!

The Island by Sanguis 2019-10-09T18:28:10Z ♥ 1

Oh, I thought there will be more at the end! Very nice and relaxing game, I love the little windmills and the forest!

Seedling by Apandso 2019-10-09T17:50:40Z ♥ 1

Very nice graphics! I do not like idle and clicking games, but I was curious what will happen. Petty you did not have time to add the sounds, would make it great!

Fit the Sticky by Leonard Graf 2019-10-09T17:30:28Z ♥ 0

Haha really fun game! It is very hard to finish it, but I got a feeling it is not impossible to find the best route, and that kept me playing.

HEI$T by pataya 2019-10-08T20:18:18Z ♥ 2

Nice little idle game! I like the characters too. Is there any condition to win, or does it go endlessly?

Keep Me Burning by NavrcL 2019-10-08T19:48:52Z ♥ 1

Nice concept, loved it that the darkness was eating me after the lights went out! 💡 I also liked the potato character, but the background assets looked much cooler, so he was a bit off and unfinished for me.

NSFB: Not Safe For Bugs! by wolfybytes 2019-10-08T19:41:57Z ♥ 2

Adorable graphics!

The Choice of Life: Middle Ages by Xakkar 2019-10-08T19:06:47Z ♥ 2

Very much like Reigns yes, but a lovely art style! I could not go above year 20, have to play more :) A simple but solid game!

Noth INC. by Dongle 2019-10-08T18:51:05Z ♥ 0

Great design! The concept is also nice, it would need more time to implement.

The Runner by Attala 2019-10-08T18:45:16Z ♥ 1

This was fun gambling, I made 10 in a row! I had something similar on one of my old phones about 15 years ago! :D

A Nickel For A Kingdom by geist_191 2019-10-08T18:33:42Z ♥ 2

A nice idea! Keeping all the needs of the villagers in mind can be tough :D

Pen and Play by YellowKamel 2019-10-08T16:56:55Z ♥ 1

I liked the drawing part.

Mushroom Exorcist by krjack 2019-10-08T16:38:57Z ♥ 0

I like the wolf head. Petty you could not finish it. Next time!

MerchantQuest by ItsBamboo 2019-10-08T16:31:50Z ♥ 1

Hehe, nothing better on a rainy afternoon than some pickpocketing to lighten up my mood! Cute little game, it was nice to figure out what items to sell to whom. One mistake: there are prompts on the end screen to show items, levels gold etc, but all of them was 0 for me for some reason.

The drop to the top by jk5000 2019-10-08T16:11:46Z ♥ 2

I was captivated by the design, it seemed very nice! The game is very easy, and simple. Everything about this games is showing how very simple elements can make something interesting when put together.

Oracle Pine by Swanijam 2019-10-08T15:51:18Z ♥ 2

One of the best game in the jam! Short but feels polished, the graphics help the immersion. The guitar sound was almost like music but it annoyed me sometimes :D

DREAMS by Ferdi 2019-10-08T15:40:04Z ♥ 2

YEs, audio is missing, but still an interesting weird piece :)

Soundmarine by Dustyroom 2019-10-08T14:21:03Z ♥ 0

Oh, I think this game has one of the best visuals in this jam! And I liked how the audio built up with the game elements too. Sadly the game is not so interesting for me, not my type. But great job anyway guys!

Tipota by Pixel Maniacs 2019-10-08T14:06:32Z ♥ 0

Great visuals! The controls were a bit too sloppy for me, but I guess that is intentional because of the hovering.

Gargolite by Brusi 2019-10-08T13:44:41Z ♥ 1

Very nice graphics and a lot of fun! I like it how a simple game mechanic can change the playfield so fast. I played it in browser and it started to lag a bit when turning the gargoyls into stone. ✌️

Greta Thunberg's Planet Converter by celmer89 2019-10-08T12:36:42Z ♥ 2

I like the idea! First I made it in 13 days, next 8 days. I needed some time to realize that O2 producing needs oxygen. A bit too pale though, and slow, but it is a relaxing game!

Ravenous by berumondo 2019-10-08T12:02:34Z ♥ 2

wow, quite hard for me 😱 I really like the graphics and the color scheme, very clean!

Also great to see a GM game, I love to develop in Game Maker.

Nothing is my car ! by T-Bo 2019-10-08T11:44:20Z ♥ 1

I really like the little guy floating above the road! If this would be a full game with a lot of dev time, I would make an intro animation where the guy is getting into his invisible car 🚙

The game is very simple, but what I really like that the car parts are acting as lives. Nice idea!

I Have Nothing - If I don't take from you! by Imphenzia 2019-10-08T10:18:44Z ♥ 1

This is fun! It is a nice stealth game, and I liked the graphics! Somehow the audio is off for me. The sound of the broom is too much and the music is a bit too slow maybe.

Planet Zero by benjames171 2019-10-07T20:49:52Z ♥ 0

I like the graphics and the movement. And that the rocks are reusable! Nice!

Pinball Gardener by KianaMosser 2018-04-24T20:53:01Z ♥ 1

it is soo good to see, that a little cute character can give so much life to a game :) The mechanics are also very enjoyable! One thin: how do I finish the game? I ran out of balls and had only a little money, still no game over? *** **Here is our game feel free to check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/jumpcard**

Dog Care Center by Fran Segura 2018-04-24T20:38:34Z ♥ 2

The dogs are very cute, and I like the FPS references too: I instantly knoew that G is for "throw grenade" I mean rubber ball 🐶 😃 The game has a good rhythm, it created a nicely balanced chaos, I was constantly running around for my phone and answering the door and cleaning the dogs.

One question: what is the purple smoke? **** **Here is our game feel free to check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/jumpcard**

Misty Night by sleepyGrin 2018-04-24T19:44:21Z ♥ 0

Great subtle art style! I am now checking your other games on itch.io :) The rhythm part was a bit ... off rhythm for me.

The Cards You're Dealt by Raindrinker 2018-04-24T19:27:46Z ♥ 1

Nice, simple, feels smooth to play! For me the chess elements were a bit off visually, but the mechanics were great!

Last Girl On Earth by Reality Blind 2018-04-24T16:32:56Z ♥ 1

The flaming cats are awesome! Also that balloons go up, and cats run horizontally. My only issue is that it is a bit repetitive.

Rogue Crush by Team Catwheel 2018-04-24T15:08:12Z ♥ 1

Now this is a good game! I really like the idea to use the match3 mechanics to something useful. Very nice, you should definitely work on this a bit more! I missed a game over screen, or something like that. How do I know when I die?

Sumbot Fighting! by blu3bird 2018-04-24T14:26:12Z ♥ 0

It looks so cute and I really want to try it, but I can not get anyting done. I hit Space, get the purple part, than hit space again and the part disappears. How do I play?

LD27 — 10 Seconds (4)

The Aliens Came (10 seconds to choose) by porglezomp 2013-08-26T09:36:00

Man, this was really nicely written! I like how you used the 10 seconds to push the player forward. Simple but good!

GunJoust by Vic 2013-08-26T09:02:00

Hahaha, very good, man! I love the robot-knights and the soundeffects the best!

The Hero's Journey (or get the treasure and run) by Ludipe 2013-08-26T08:45:00

I like the idea to make the runner game on a circle, and how these circles are repeating! The graphics were too gray and boring for me though. Good game, good luck!

Defense of Your Craft by josefnpat 2013-08-26T08:29:00

Great idea for the time limit! Very challenging, nicely ballanced game!
