LD45 — Start with nothing

Green Dragon Inn by MrTroy 2019-10-13T15:39:38Z

i love the choose-your-own-adventure stories, but it's a bit flat among the tons of quick-playable LDJ games

Open Ocean by joe40001 2019-10-13T11:12:03Z

I'm just falling down and down forever. The sound of the ocean is nice but I can not do anything

Cosmoteer by masterkrepta 2019-10-15T18:22:44Z

the idea is cute, the game looks nice but the gameplay is a bit slow and the cat keeps moonwalkin' :D

Starting From Nothing by sorlok 2019-10-13T15:58:32Z

It seems to be a bit oldschool. I don't think combining story and chakachaka games is a nice fit.

Deboned by Sarah 2019-10-13T20:24:31Z

it is slow indeed, but it has nice animations

Flotilla by thecrancher 2019-10-13T10:39:04Z

no game : (

Island of the Coconut Spirit by candlesan 2019-10-13T15:30:23Z

awesome music, beautiful graphics, overall this is a nice game

You Gotta Buy Everything by MiltonNH25 2019-10-13T15:19:45Z

OMG this is THE BEST jam game I've ever played! I've spent sooo much time with it! I loved the progression, the fun, the experience, thanks for this one.

I Was Nothing At All by gord10ahmet 2019-10-07T20:40:23Z

seems to be fun but i die all the time

Start With No Cat by MaiMai 2019-10-13T10:39:35Z

"We couldn't find your page"

Nightbirds by Jiri Hysek 2019-10-15T19:06:34Z

"They are the same hostile beasts like you" :D

A Developer's Adventure by Jonas Michael 2019-10-13T11:47:52Z

Not bad for a 3 day idle game.The music is simple but fits well with the game mood. Balancing is not the easiest job, but it is essential for this type of game.

Tart with nothing by flynn 2019-10-15T19:04:28Z

very cute, it is a nice experience to play this. It doesn't have big replay value but great work!

MoneyDude by zyapimstudios 2019-10-13T11:39:15Z

This is fun, music is catchy indeed. I had problems whith waiting a lot for things to happen, reaching lvl15 seemed to be a century. More NPC-s would be great for having more fun and fill the time.

King of Nothing by notapixelstudio 2019-10-13T10:36:43Z

Im getting "Cannot read property 'getParameter' of undefined" too : (

Ant Capitalist by ManTou 2019-10-13T16:47:30Z

not bad, but there is a lack of progression

Stash by stamestratagem 2019-10-13T20:27:46Z

@ljfmx thanks for the comment! We know about the glitch and after like 30 gameplays it drove us insane, but there was no time for fixing. :D We had two days so we tried to concentrate on making one well-tailored level.

Stash by stamestratagem 2019-10-14T16:46:53Z

@paulsams hey, thanks for the info about fixing! The elevator is a weirdo :)

Stash by stamestratagem 2019-10-16T09:04:35Z

@noahro the collider was too large indeed, thanks for the notice!

The Glowing Adventure by Clickbait 2019-10-13T11:58:17Z

Good job! Nice art, cool music, enjoyable gameplay. My only remark is that the enemies are sometimes jumping in the air.

itemless by NachtWitch 2019-10-13T11:56:48Z

Nice starting idea for a survival. I found building a bit strange that I could only build 2 blocks away, and unnecessary, too. Not a big deal, but you could disable buttons for one use after buying the items.

The Thrill of the Loan by TJMcDonald 2019-10-07T20:33:07Z

Great mechanics!

tfw no flesh by Roosevelt 2019-10-13T11:06:17Z

Nice mood for the autumn event. Everything is working, fun to play, funny theme, grats!

Neon Sunset by tobb 2019-10-13T15:34:53Z

the graphics and atmosphere are good, the cam is too sensitive

Evolution: Adapt To Survive by Miphia 2019-10-13T11:50:05Z

The basic concept is really good but the foods are too far away.It would be more exciting, if there were more food, and the skills would not cost more too.

Bootstraps by Bubble Boy 2019-10-13T14:01:45Z

this is really simple but WOW MUCH FUN

Grow Your Own Way by Shunt 2019-10-13T11:53:19Z

For me all the crops tended to disappear. If I clicked precisely I could taka more crops but not all of it. If I saved durng game, and after timeup I loaded, only the time was loaded, but I couldn't buy any more crops. It seemed to me that only the amount of money loaded at loading game, but the display of it didn't.

Zen Gear by 5odrek 2019-10-13T10:52:22Z

are u trollin? there is no button to start this at all :D

cool mood though for the pre-start screen :bat:

Unsustainable by DerickM 2019-10-13T11:08:22Z

same :cry:

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Endless Ninjas by fidrik 2022-04-04T22:40:25Z

Great work, I enjoyed it a lot! I love Sekiro, and I am glad that in this game I die before Lady Butterfly because that woman can cause painful minutes that's for sure

Newton's Law by HomineLudens 2022-04-06T19:55:47Z

I think it would be helpful if the gravity would be smaller or the slow-motion a little more intense.

Dancing With Death by Enver Arco 2022-04-09T12:04:53Z

It seems to be a nice game but there is no restart button and I would need it very much. Did you make the epic soundtrack?

TOOB by Gatlink 2022-04-06T19:07:30Z

Awesome looks, smooth gaming experience. I agree with @trev3lyan on ramping diff because I didn't felt rewarded enough for not using the brake

The Manbutton Project by AndideBob 2022-04-05T08:32:11Z

creative idea! some keys are not working but very well done with the leaderboard

The Hunger by Delightfullymad 2022-04-05T00:41:36Z

There are some interesting mechanisms going on, but it could use some balance (some cards are too powerful to use and they doesn't really worth it). I wouldn't know how to use the drain button if it weren't in the comments.

Tick Tock by Dudum Lare 2022-04-04T23:34:01Z

(+) I laughed on the events and some of the art is very cool (for example the snack machine) (-) It lagged a few times and I think I had 2/5 game overs when I was not in the view cone of the Boss (the Boss, hehe)

The Lars Mission by Honest Dan 2022-04-09T11:12:50Z

The most detailed game I saw in the jam so far! Entertaining and funny! The protagonist's voice matches his face so well :D Like a little pumpkin

Farm Dog by Trypants 2022-04-10T18:56:36Z

this is so much fun :D creative, funny, entertaining, polished! well done

Recycle This! by Raphiell 2022-04-05T15:29:19Z

I swear I hear how you would say INCINERATOR :D

The Great Horde by LCStark 2022-04-06T19:39:26Z

It looks nice and I like the audio. The attack/defense labels on enemies could have been bigger, because this way either a lot of time of my gameplay goes to zooming in and out or I am clicking blindly on enemies

SUNDAY by cukiakimani 2022-04-04T23:18:39Z

I love the visuals and the conversations, the sounds are pretty detailed too. But there is not too much to do and the mom was stuck most of the time.

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-04T23:22:02Z

@junklab Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the leaderboard can show only your own results for now, but we would love to make a public one

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-05T09:11:26Z

@reronin we're glad if you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! You can get quite good if you repeat, but it is possible that we will do a tiny rebalancing later

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-05T09:31:17Z

@heremeus some of the differences are VERY subtle, so you need a few rounds to kind of just "see" them instead of "watching" them :D

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-05T17:29:12Z

@raphiell no, that is a clover :D

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-06T16:43:44Z

@tigerj thank you so much for the feedback! We will come back to you with mobile view and online leaderboard!

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-06T23:46:11Z

@haayaargh thanks so much for the feedback and for playing! We'll do our best on the updates. It was amusing to watch you play, seeing the reactions on our work is a priceless experience

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-07T20:48:50Z

@chriiis88, we are glad that you enjoxed the game! ^^ the leaderboard is local, only your own can be displayed in the current version

Faces of the Beast by stamestratagem 2022-04-11T19:43:45Z

@elysiagriffin that is more than my high score :D the leaderboard is now online and you're so on it

Re: Placement by Outfrost 2022-04-07T20:17:35Z

very creative! and it gives space to getting better at it, you don't get bored. My only problem is that it's tyring to the eyes because of the dark + constant concentration

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-05T15:11:33Z

Awesome work with the audio and visuals! I love how you save the previous run's tracks like in car games and the map system was a great idea. The gameplay itself could use some more events or action but you have a nice base to work on

Magic Missile by Tim Sims 2022-04-06T20:07:05Z

At first I really didn't like this but I said o f, let's do a few more rounds. And when you get the rhythm of the game the asymmetric actions of the two characters become really fun. If you could adjust the spacing of the enemy objects I would like to play later again

The Pit by Itskdog 2022-04-05T00:11:27Z

This is awesome :D I played for over an hour. I even have favourite cardsets now

The Pit by Itskdog 2022-04-05T11:12:44Z

I came back to tell you that I played more than an hour again. I've consumed like 30 lifes in the last run, I think I can't even die anymore, I fall REALLY long levels and I NEED a save function :D

The Pit by Itskdog 2022-04-05T12:43:26Z

Group 2.png

this will be a nice round

The Pit by Itskdog 2022-04-05T13:15:51Z

@itskdog I told about it to my friends but I think you should make a blogpost to the feed so people could find this more easiliy

Between My Shadows by jordwest 2022-04-06T19:24:17Z

i enjoy personal and psychological games most, so I would love to see the concept go further. It's a bit frightening, I even jumpscared myself once (got jumpscared? jumped on scare? how do people say that?)

Volcano by ABRDs 2022-04-06T20:14:38Z

Image 10.png I've made it to the Nether!

No Touch The Cat by Sheol 2022-04-06T19:44:10Z

the mittens :D

The Railroad to Elsewhere by Save Sloth Studios 2022-04-05T16:26:50Z

full of feelings <3

Protocol Delta by itsBoats 2022-04-05T08:47:00Z

I love the simple but clean visuals of this. Things get out of hand just a little too fast, but the high score count is motivating and you can get better at it

The Ultimate Martian Roulette by HaaYaargh 2022-04-07T00:17:19Z

Cutscenes are not easy to find in LDJ games, refreshing! As @ldp and @genpaku wrote earlier a multiplayer version would be interesting. But what pokes me the most about russian roulette is the strange mechanism: when you think you did it right, you actually spoiled it for the future yourself. This with the absurd setting makes the game pleasantly blackmirrory to me

plant. by badcop 2022-04-05T15:21:13Z

"if you cut them too much, the plant dies. if you don’t cut them, the plant still dies." this is so sad and i laughed so hard :D

We All Die by ollie_d 2022-04-06T18:20:15Z

Nice idea, a little difficult to control. The itch.io background merges with the game screen area and I kept dragging my mouse out of the game window.

The Last Guardian of Some Orbs by Klumaster 2022-04-07T19:51:11Z

Very nice look. I think a less cheerful music could support the concept well

JAM HERO by ludovic-moge 2022-04-09T12:14:51Z

Funny idea. It was disturbing though that the lights went on and off in the areas, I couldn't see what I'm doing. Also tha dupes' stats couldn't be seen when they were in the shower because it went off the screen.

LD55 — Summoning

Summoning of Qasimar by arzi 2024-04-17T19:44:18Z

Pros: aesthetics are engaging and stylish, a well made visual trip. The music fits the game really well. Sound effect is great.

Cons: for me, this was difficult to undrstand. I was expecting every intel tp appear in the grimoir, I quiestioned the demons a lot, for example this alagor guy, but only one intel made it to the logs. So I can't really follow which questions are asked from who. The quiestioning GUI doesn't help in it either.

Farmageddon by ThiefViolinist 2024-04-19T21:52:14Z

PRO: it was refreshing to hear human voice in a game. It felt frienldy. CON: The gameplay could have been more eventful.

Glyphwalker by Papaver 2024-04-19T21:46:06Z

for me, this is the most well made game so far. It reminds me of Baba is You a lot, which I loved. You have created a polished minigame with nicely done puzzles. It was nothing but fun <3

Summoning altar by stamestratagem 2024-04-22T10:48:03Z

@jvdwijk , thanks for playing and for the quality feedback! We enjoyed your entry as well at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/middleman-summons

Cat Summoning Puzzle by Kobato Games 2024-04-19T22:27:13Z

I like the idea of solving riddles, I would love to do some more difficult levels.

Summoned at 2 by WeeFairyFabi 2024-04-17T19:54:07Z

Pros: It looks beautiful, very elegant. The musical choice is tasteful too, and the sound design is creative and cute!

Cons: controls are not obvious for me. Maybe it was in the long text, but I dislike these kinds of manuals, because they're not very entertaining for me. It couldn't keep me engaged for long.

Campo by Braulio_JG 2024-04-19T22:14:08Z

I can take control of enemies if I stand on them :D

Master of Elements by Gexo 2024-04-18T21:11:59Z

I would've appreciated some healing because I died so many times so easily :D Otherwise a great entry, polished level, beautiful tiles and sprites, nice atmosphere.

Ascension by Pigeonescu 2024-04-19T22:01:38Z

PROS: looks so beautiful! Surprises are funny, the sound of the dude is amazing. CONS: there was no challenge in it, it didn't feel like a game, it felt like a task.

The Alchemy Show by LightOfGloRy 2024-04-17T20:03:14Z

I love good alchemy games but I don't understand the controls and the core mechanics (I read the book). In my opinion, walking around in a 3D environment is not beneficial in this game. It would be much more simple to handle if I just had to point and click.
