i have no clothes and i must clean by robobarbie 2025-04-22T17:31:12Z ♥ 3
Wow!! This game is amazing! The left-right walking mechanic is so unique and fun, though the button press timing isn't as unique. Still, it didn’t take away from the unbelievable fun I had with the game. The angle of looking down is such a fun way to present the game, and by the way, the story is hilarious! Great game!

Marble Trouble by mooyett 2025-10-08T21:22:06Z ♥ 5
Wow! One of the best games I’ve seen so far. It has so much style and presents a really unique gameplay loop, along with great music and sfx. I’d love to see more content for the game.
A small complaint I have is that I kinda confused the first opponent with the player character — I think they look pretty similar. But overall I love the game! Great work!
Ludumon by Euler Moises 2025-10-08T21:13:02Z ♥ 1
The game has a lot of potential! I think having the levels be randomly generated would give it much more replayability and add more content to the game. The parody of Pokémon is quite funny too, lol.
A few complaints I have are that I wish the Ludumons were bigger on the screen — you need to watch for details, and a larger screen would help with that. And this is a nitpick, but as a slow reader, I’d like to skip the dialogue at my own pace.
But anyway, it’s quite a charming game. I’m proud to say I became a Ludumon master! Well done!
The Key Keeper by megalukes 2025-10-08T04:08:30Z ♥ 1
I love the black-and-white style that only adds new colors for the important things in each level. The secret passages are all well hidden, with just the right amount of clues to find them fairly. I’ve seen many similar platformer puzzles before, but playing one with such a cool aesthetic gives new life to it. Well done!
BIN CHICKEN by Quackqack 2025-10-07T21:27:19Z ♥ 1
I think I found a bug... I was trying to retake my second place on the leaderboard, but whenever I succeeded, the score that got posted was always a bit lower than the one I had in-game... So I gave up, lol. Anyway, very addictive game! Garbage men should take some lessons from this game on how to collect trash! It took me a second to figure out the right angle to launch the garbage can into the air, but once I got it, it was smooth sailing. A small critique I have is that I’d love for the garbage cans to be a different color from the background, so the player can focus on alignment and catching the falling trash rather than searching for the cans — I think that would make it more fun.

Evidence collector by Nyakov 2025-10-07T20:34:45Z ♥ 2
The story is so interesting and well crafted — it really made me want to play Chapter 2. Gameplay-wise, i like Having to decide between kidnapping, searching a place, killing someone, or letting them go. I also love that you can only control the player inside the house, it makes the story feel more personal, as if we’re stuck inside our own world or mind. It is just a nitpick, but perhaps the doors could look a bit different; sometimes I got confused about which door led where, lol. But overall, this is a great game! Well done!
GNOWER by Aune 2025-10-07T20:24:36Z ♥ 2
The tech vibe is so fucking cool! It reminds me of Fallout, maybe that was the inspiration. The game is also completely hilarious and offers a very interesting, original, and fun gameplay loop. I love it! My only critique is that perhaps the “click to find gnomes” feature could have a cost, so people don’t spam-click all the time — maybe a few seconds of cooldown before reusing it. But anyway, great game. Well done!

I had a fun time playing. I love the art style and the originality of the monster.
Meta Jammer by pschichtel 2025-10-07T06:20:34Z ♥ 3
The idea is amazing, but it’s one of those concepts that really need a lot of people participating to truly shine. It works well as it is, though. I love the addition of prizes and how you can get a better sense of a game’s general rating — something that’s not present on the LD page. However I think the emojis on the trophies could be a bit bigger, as they’re a little hard to see. But overall, it’s a great and fun way to experience Ludum Dare. Well done!
PEPATE by Ueighti 2025-10-07T06:10:25Z ♥ 3
I’m overwhelmed by the adorableness, the art is PERFECT! Turning rock-paper-scissors into a more complex game is a great idea, and it was well executed, and it still can be even more! However, I think the enemies in the first battles could use a bit less health, since it’s mostly luck at that point. A way to speed up the battles would be great too — after a while, they can feel a bit slow. But overall, I love the game! Well done!
Drunkink by voidsrc 2025-10-07T05:58:27Z ♥ 3
I had the same bug Kkritikov had, made me end my run early, unfortunately. That aside, the game is amazing! The atmosphere is just perfect; I love the music and SFX to death! The originality of the idea is incredible; everything is pretty much great. The only downside is that I mourn for the poor souls who’ll have these tattoos on their bodies for the rest of their lives, lol. Great work!
Where's my money, Gnomski?!? by CaptainCorgistan 2025-10-07T00:22:03Z ♥ 4
This is quite a fun game! I love having to identify the right gnome through every small detail, which also makes each gnome feel so unique. The items around the game that help in the search are a great idea, as are the personality traits. However, I feel like there should be less traversal across the map and more focus on comparing the picture with the gnome, since the comparison is monumentally more fun. I found myself walking a lot while searching for a gnome sometimes. Another critique I have is that the game feels a bit insensitive toward vegans and deaf people. The term "Saint Salad," the thunder dialogue about the deaf gnome, and the way the game incentivizes using the whistle to find the deaf gnome made me feel a bit uncomfortable. However, everything else is on point. Good job!
Cupcake Collector by BalimaarTheBassFish 2025-10-06T23:25:22Z ♥ 2
The gameplay works really well overall. I like the tricky way the enemies’ projectiles move — it gives a unique challenge to the platformer. And cupcakes are so desirable that it adds to the reward of collecting them. I also like how you can jump infinitely in the later levels; it adds variety. Well done!
Pumpkin Jam by SoloAdventurerGames 2025-10-06T23:14:44Z ♥ 1
The story and art build the atmosphere really well, I really liked it. However, the logo in the sky took me out of this interesting world a little bit; I think the game would be better without it. The story is quite charming, even though it’s so brief, and you can relate to the idea of trying to find the little brothers. Well done!
Tiny Expeditions by bwalter 2025-10-06T22:16:46Z ♥ 2
I love this game so much. It’s my favorite so far. The world feels so peaceful, and collecting all the bugs is so relaxing. What a splendid atmosphere, I feel like I could play forever. Being procedurally generated really gives me the feeling that this is my own little world, too. The end screen showing all the bugs you caught is so satisfying, and the UI is also so delicate — the perfect conclusion for our little expedition. I missed a bit of SFX for the net swinging, but I can see how the silence adds to the calming nature of the game. I also would have liked to see more gentle colors on the net, as it’s always on screen; I think it would fit even better with the relaxing atmosphere. But overall, great work! Really well done!
Banchy by Blaizi 2025-10-06T21:39:30Z ♥ 1
Quite an interesting game. I love the idea of filling fireplaces with bones from dead animals instead of the usual wood. The story is really well presented through text, and together with the SFX, it gives the game a great atmosphere.
Racoocoo by Tamino Laub 2025-10-06T20:58:16Z ♥ 2
I GOT THEM ALL!!! 🐱🐱🐱 I usually don’t support robbery, but if it’s for a super cute Racoocoo, I see nothing wrong with it at all! The art style is really good, and the way the characters animate is super cute. Every Racoocoo is perfect, and the charming art really makes you want to retry the level until you have all of them!! I do, however, think the guards need to be harder to avoid. Maybe the game could end if the player touches them, or their detection could be faster. But overall, a solid, amazing, cute, and adorable game! I’m keeping my Racoocoos forever!!

Unholy Black Hole by bereg 2025-10-06T19:51:34Z ♥ 1
What a cathartic and fun game, full of potential! Luring people with money works perfectly, and it’s super fun, I love seeing them being sucked into the black hole! The hellish vibe is great, and the music fits perfectly. However, demons are a bit too unpredictable in where they’ll go. It’s easy to run out of money trying to guide humans to the black hole this way, which can be slightly frustrating. And I do think the “It’s happening” text takes a bit too long to disappear, especially when restarting the level. But overall, a quite solid, cathartic, and fun compo game. Well done!
Carrot Collector by F1Krazy 2025-10-06T10:47:18Z ♥ 2
Cuuuuuuute! And the tiny pixel art adds even more to the cuteness, although it sometimes makes it a bit difficult to tell what the objects are. The gameplay works really well, though sometimes I got stuck in the water or outside the fence, and it felt like it could use a bit more polish. Maybe the restart button could appear after the player gets stuck somewhere. I would have loved to finish the game, but I just couldn’t complete the last level, I was always one step away :/ I’ll try again later, though. Overall, a solid little entry. Well done!
Mr. Collector by Aynu 2025-10-06T10:34:46Z ♥ 2
The beige background is quite beautiful. The distance from the screen works perfectly gameplay-wise, but the UI could be bigger. It’s very important information that, in the intensity of gameplay, needs to be easily visible. The gameplay, by the way, works well and is quite fun. Overall, I do wish it had a bit more to it, though. But it’s a fine little game as it is. Well done!
Gems of Kaine by MateusBoga 2025-10-06T10:28:16Z ♥ 1
The text at the beginning is a lot to take in. I think conveying it through fewer words, or through visuals, gameplay, or audio would have made the experience feel more organic. But I do know these things can be hard to pull off in a compo. The gameplay works well, but it takes some time to figure out the rules of each gem. I wish it were a bit more intuitive, though it works fine as it is. The adrenaline from picking each gem is quite fun, and it’s quite rare for this kind of game, making it feel unique. The graphics and sounds are really good and help build the atmosphere well. I wish the sound of picking up the gems were a bit louder, it would really add to the satisfaction of choosing the right gem. All in all, this is a solid entry. Well done!
Dragon Hoard by pres2300 2025-10-06T10:14:07Z ♥ 1
I love the originality of the enemies going for the gold instead of the player, and also the very striking design of the dragon. I wish there were a bit more of that creativity in the enemies, though. Gameplay-wise, it’s quite functional and fun, with good potential. I think giving more flexibility when moving the gold would enhance the game a lot. Overall, well done!
