LD54 — Limited Space

Checkout Champion: Bagging Edition by No Grapes Games 2023-10-03T00:02:53Z

Loved the narrative and the story graphics! I also really liked the pieces, especially the shrimp and the lettuce/cabbage. It's a little hard to grab food (I wound up double clicking), and I'm not sure when I lose a life. But this is a really nicely polished entry!

What to leave behind? by Owinmowe 2023-10-03T00:09:24Z

Beautifully executed and touching! I liked trying to piece together the story from the artifacts in the room—the narrative is well written and parcelled out among the items. I did wonder if I was "winning" or, at least, what the consequence of making one choice over another might be. But it's got some really lovely vibes!

Pong Diner by JellybeanMill 2023-10-02T23:49:45Z

This is a really nice looking game. I like the animated customers, and the background music and placement SFX were really well done and hew to the restaurant theme. As for gameplay, I found myself frustrated by not having a lot to do once the tables were laid out. It's a lot of watching the simulation play out, which is interesting, but I was bummed I couldn't interact with my setup. I was also unsure if I was winning or losing at given point. But it's definitely got a cool vibe!

Whew, thanks to everyone who had trouble with the windows version missing a file and compiled it from source anyway! That's above and beyond, and I'm very grateful. New windows upload with all the files in a zip is up now.

LD55 — Summoning

Magical Summoner in Fishing Vacation by AcsiD 2024-04-19T10:44:41Z

Nicely done! Very interesting and unique mechanic, really good adherence to the theme. I had my kid play, too--here are their comments: "Pretty good overall. Hard to get the point of the game. Are you supposed to go over the lake or are you supposed to be fishing?"

Lorem Ipsummon by Hugimugi7 2024-04-16T05:33:02Z

Oh, wow, this game is really spectacular! Everything from the graphics to the puzzles to the voiceover is amazing. Such a strong central set of mechanics and such devious puzzle crafting, I hope you all expand this into a commercial game. (Just don't let us regress by falling on the previous checkpoint flags, that's almost too cruel)

Critter Duel by WubbaDuck 2024-04-16T03:59:39Z

Really great compo entry! Excellent character design and animation, especially with the time and resource limits--they're all very cute

Globeba by Saturnyoshi 2024-04-19T13:45:52Z

My kid and I spent the whole evening beating the game--it's very addictive and really fun.

Comments from the kiddo: "Really liked it! The graphics are good, the story path is good. The puzzles can be a bit tricky, but that's what makes it fun. Just really, really good!"

Denimancers: You Reap what you Sew by Riley Miller 2024-04-16T04:19:24Z

Really funny take on summoning. The "pantsed" art for defeated enemies is hilarious!

Death Death Resurrection by Lachlan James 2024-04-16T03:34:18Z

Really fun game! Super hard (didn't even come close to knocking that guy out), but great controls and concept. Plus, mad props for getting in the nice sound and music--I never manage to get to that in my entries.

Boulder Blocker by Cody Holt 2024-04-16T04:06:41Z

This is great! A really solid core mechanic that lends itself to a whole lot of different challenges. So many levels! A truly impressive amount of fun for such a short Jam

Fantasy Lawyer: Thou Hast Been Served! by rich strange 2024-04-16T03:53:24Z

Hey all! Managed to get the HTML5 version up on itch.io, so feel free to try it out there.

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-19T11:19:51Z

Really fun and deceptively challenging!

Bumpastic by simontzky 2024-04-16T04:27:56Z

Very well done puzzle game! It took me a second to figure out what the rules were, but totally worth the time to figure it out. Very smooth animation and attractive graphics, too. You should publish this on an app store!
