This game seriously needs some balancing. I only got the bow and I immediately beat the boss. Also there was a level where there were 4 lines of spikes traps that opens and closes. But due to how fast they do that, and combined with your speed, it was extremely difficult. I was so lucky to beat it in no hit.
I do like this nice remix, so I decided to give my feedback on each mode.
- Rusty : Pretty annoying in some cases, but not as bad as Lusty. - Trusty : Not really a bad one, it's kind of like the original Tetris. - Lusty : The worst of the three. 100% based on RNG.
I'm sorry if you didn't wanted to be rated in humor, the sounds when you get hit is just so stupid.
Pretty fun game ! I like the idea of ennemies that needs to be marked more than once, and that you can hit and mark multiple ennemies at once.
Horever the difficulty can be really brutal pretty fast. There is a big enemy with a sawblade that charges at you like a madman, and it was really hard to beat it with the gunner ones. There was two of them too.
It's a bit like Streets of Rage, I mean quite a lot like Streets of Rage.
I got 1065 points.
This is a very interesting game, but after a while, it gets a bit boring, you only have one type of monster in this game.
First Pico-8 game, and it's pretty good ! The two players thing was really confusing, but it's not really something to worry about, since the 10 seconds feels slower in the game.
There are a lot of creative stuff in this game, I like it. It's like Among Us but again !
I like the idea, but it's very unclear sometimes. It just keeps saying "Warmer" non-stop. Sometimes, it does change, but it's very unlikely. Nice model and voice acting though.
Also wtf is that 1900s Sea Shanthies ?
Very promising game ! I made some playthroughs and managed to get an axe and a wolf head.
Not sure why you wanted this to have some ratings on the humor, the game is more creepy than funny, but great job !
I really don't get this game. It just told me to press a red button. That's it.
I got 3072.
Okay so first thing to point out is : What did I just played ?! Why am I a cursor trying to do Muckbang while demons are trying to kill me ?
This game is a literal fever dream, and it has one of the most annoying audio ever in this jam, but it's surprisingly very simple.
Really unfair. The game basically spawns 1 million enemies just like other games I played. Why does so many games does that ?
But it's pretty nice overall. Would like to have less for the demons upgrades.
I got wave 37.
It's actually a really interesting one, but the game's way to get you moving is to spam 1 million zombies. There was a comically large pumpkin for some reasons, but yeah.

That image came out of my mind when I was playing your game. Aliensrock need to play this, the first time I saw the plot twist in level 3 I questioned my own sanity, that's how good it is !
The reverse music and reverse arrow direction was pretty cool too !
The highest I could go is at level 11, got stuck at the ending when one of my clones goes into me. I had no idea how to counter this.
Really cool game, but there are the remaining keys function (press SHIFT 5 times in a row) that kind of ruins the game's fun a bit, other than that, there are a lot of cool mechanics !
The QR code thing was really unusual. Thankfully, I had a phone and it has the scanner function.
I got stuck in the end for a long time, I thought I would get to the last room of the game by doing some platforming over the 3 pits in 3:C. There are also some nice secrets.
Finally I beat it...
That was a disaster. Yeah the art is good, but the gameplay is even worse than Labyrinth of Darkness (https://ldj.am/$302184). - There is not arrow keys control. - There is not any control indication in the game. PuzzleScript automatically shows the control keys in the main menu for the new players, but yes "it makes the game too easy" - You have to be walking in a direction to dash. Why ? - The second guards level is the most unbalanced level in the game. There is a part where you have so little time to not get hit by the spore, then make a jump not too low to get hit by the guard, but not too high to touch the laser.
@yirsi Nooooo are you serious ?!
This is all nice and stuff, until you get to World 3. I absolutely hated the world. It has one of the most overpowered action in the game : it pulls a column of blocks upwards. I don't see any practical way to beat it without having one heart left.
There is also the dragon boss that has magic defense and an ability that makes the blocks unmatchable. You can still destroy the blocks using the missiles, but they will always target the blocks at the top.
Speaking of magic defense you really had to make it only usable to magic attacks. It's one of the rarest blocks in the game too, making it even worse to play. Also regular attack blocks are just as rare.
So in order to beat the game, you need near-perfect RNG. If you don't have good RNG, then the game is impossible.
Managed to beat it in 211 years.
A bit cute, but the 10-seconds mechanic is a bit annoying. I didn't saw another game like that before, so that's cool.
Yeah, I really don't get the purpose of the ten seconds speed-up, I saw no changes to the game with it.
Not even a challenge. Only hard part is the math question.
I couldn't beat this one. This game spams 1 million enemies just like Hourglass Outlaw. (https://ismaelrodriguez.itch.io/hourglass-outlaw) The game became so fast that I couldn't think of what to do.
Pretty bad. The interpretation is boring and it goes so fast that it disorients me.
@benjamin-halko Make sure the direction changing isn't all of a sudden, that's mostly where the disorienting comes from.
Nice idea, but it would be a bit better to have a system to type specific words like on mobile.
This game is a little bit better, but there are 3 things concerning me.
1. You can get out of bounds in some areas. 2. Sometimes the players doesn't move even though I know that the way is clear. 3. What is that banner image ?! Overload.png It looks so disturbing !
@xparker Forgot to tell that there is no collision in the wall between the two areas.
The screen is way too small vertically because of peaches being **WAY TOO FAST**, and it's just as boring as the other games I saw.
@teddyreid I have to admit, some levels needs to be nerfed a bit, but either way, I'm surprised I survived the publishing of the game.
@almost Thank you for that very long feedback. I'll use it as a base for the full version of the game.
@chansmith Tested it and it's still possible for me.
@chansmith Okay then.
It was very hard for me to find a game that I can play on the browser, but I managed to find this one. I'll just get into it.
This game was fine at the start, not that exiting. But then at the next level, there is a lag spike that happens every 3 seconds or so. It was a pain to get, and the monsters aren't even that much of a challenge either.
I think it's clear that it was on the rescue filter. Only one level was playable and it was literally impossible to beat. Also there was almost no effects applying in it beside the horrible invert color one and the reverse control one, and I kid you not it took me 10 minutes to find the shoot button (E).
@alero3 I was on the web version if you are curious.
You almost do nothing in this game.
This is a really creative interpretation. It could be made for a more better game than this. An endless runner it's not really the best genre for that.
There isn't really any difficulty in this game, it's just really annoying because of aiming on these mailboxes.
Survived 13 days.
This game is really hard and makes me waste time every time it seems like. The 1 minute timer is really aggressive and I can barely make 3 ships in a day.
For some reason there are only three categories to rate on.
Not that the game is good.
I like the different headlines, but the game gets really boring after a while.
High Score : 16700
Level reached : 15
The game sucks with those skateboards and that ladder-jumping that is way too low, but it reminds me of those old Nitrome games that also has that arcade feel.
Wave 5 is literally impossible. The game decides to suddenly send lasers and spreaders that both have 1 million HP and spam 9999999999999999999 other enemies to fill the entire screen.
I like the throwing letters mechanic and the art, but that's the only praises I going to give here.
There is no sound, so it makes the game really awkward. So I used Soundodger 2 soundtrack.
I never thought I would get something like it for a game so polished, but I think that the controls are the worst in this game. Sometimes I feel like the character is moving on his own.
I played this on Newgrounds, and it's not related to the ranking but I like how you can play both version with a single game.
The beginning was really tough because the tutorial button didn't even work and I had to read the description 4 times to figure everything out. But after it gets way too easy. I guess it's cool to have a truck that jumps when it gets into a fatal crash, but I quit after cooking 10 burgers.
Like the arcade style !
The realistic heart at the thumbnail made me really sick... But other than that it's just standard delivery.
Also is the 4th level even possible ? You have to do everything in 12 actions somehow... 10 subs.png
@joscco The plot twist I "never" saw it coming.
Very complicated game, I don't want to get too deep about this, but I'm going to say that it's really slow and there is no auto restart.
@maskrosen I meant press a button to restart, you have to wait for Kevin to reach the end of the road, and it's not fun at all.
Really amazing entry. I love all of the mechanics you implemented for a one button (sort of) game ! There is just one thing I want to address :
If you successfully collect a letter and restart, it will reappear like if you haven't collected, but it still counts as collecting the letter. It was pretty confusing.
Like what you did here, the character and the scenery fits perfectly together !

I feel like a bunch of these Ludum Dare games are really specific in terms of audience. This game was really boring for me, but I guess the point of it was to make a **glitchless speedrun any%** of it or something ?
Score : 3743
Delivered : 5
This game is way harder than I thought, it's super slippery, and collecting fuel actually make you waste fuel too since you have to thrust towards them. Also the satellites objects are stupid.
@bmanstudio Sometimes, I run into these things out of nowhere.
You're the dev that was in GMTK game jams. I really enjoyed breaking bones from the random strangers that have no animation.
The fact that I'm not fazed by that is actually terrifying.
Survived around 2 minutes.
I feel soo bad for the trucks that were forced to mail the pipebombs for their victims lol
There isn't any quick restart button in the game.
In fact there isn't **any restart** at all. That's right, if you realized you wasted too much time for the 3 stars, you are forced to refresh the page. *For that, 1 star on EVERY category.*
I like how when you beat the first level, you instantly get access to all types of new cards, rather than the cards are unlocked based of your progression. My favorites are Magic Missiles, Research, Preparation and Arcane Shell.
This is probably the first time I played a game like this. I couldn't reach the end before it's too late, but I really like the different things you can do.
There isn't any audio, but I think it works here a bit for the tone. But something I really don't get was the "Humor" rating. I mean, the story looks really serious.
I always wanted to rate this entry but there isn't any Ludum Dare link when I first played this.
I really like the style, it's like the playable equivalent of what happened at Chernobyl. (The music is terrible)
I couldn't beat the cannon level. There was a part where you have to throw the package over the pit then dash, both as fast as you can, to avoid the spikes, but sometimes, when I dash when I'm right next to the pits, I fall inside.
Nevertheless I like how there is an actual delivery service for things that can and WILL kill you, where the dungeon becomes harder and harder the more you deliver. But like @arsher said, yeah the game gets really hard if you are too slow.
Hearing Chiptune music with sound effects that are clearly not 8-bit is pretty weird, but the rest is nice.
The game is pretty fun, but sometimes you can die out of nowhere, and it's really annoying, also some attacks indications are barely noticeable, like that laser attack.
Also, I don't know why there is an hard mode, since I barely see any difference.
These advertisement are INSANE, it's actually just like on YouTube. Luckily the first two levels were a breeze to get through, but the rest of the levels are really tedious. Some ads take up most of the screen and sometimes I click a deliverer wrong and I had to restart. Like the mixed art style though.
@lisek-gagatek I used the "scanline" prelude command to make these effects. I thought it would fit for the scenery, but it had also an effect with the text (even though I can still make out the words).
@congeesetador I hope the dev that draws fan-art from Ludum Dare games finds that game (and other ones that I really enjoyed and draws it for his collection !
@the-enigma Barely anyone uses that anyways so might as well give it a try.
That was definitively one of the harder games I played for that Ludum Dare. The last level was REALLY hard, and I was about to give up until I realized that `gur enqne jba'g qrfgebl lbhe cynar vs lbh gbhpu vg, bayl vs vg qrgrpgf lbh sebz uvf erq nern`, so that was slight easier to beat for me.
@exilon You have to "deliver" pipebombs to the german people from the 18s.
Okay so it's just a generic incremental game with no challenge at all. I played for 2 minutes and nothing happened.
@chompdev The black holes are consistently spinning, so I won't really consider that as an issue.
Gotta love the physics of this game. There was even a moment at the last level where the ladder fell down the ice stairs and when I climbed the ladder that was standing vertically he just breaks the laws of gravity and walks on it like it was nothing.
Anyways. The ladder destroying was pretty annoying. I think that the auto destruction mechanic is better for that.
This game is alright. It's pretty boring and it doesn't really picks up on difficulty. Also, you can't tell what you are holding which is annoying.
By the way, why use the mouse button and the arrow keys at the same time ? You could just use arrow keys + spacebar or mouse alone.
I'll also add that, your preview to the update : it's going to be wild.
@congeesetador I know I say "Arrow keys" a lot when it comes to basic controls, even though there isn't.
I kid you not, the hardest part of this game for me was to figure out the controls. I typed every letter of the keyboard until I pressed something and I found out about the controls.
I know you already put the controls in the description, but I really don't think that's enough because it's easy to miss (for me at least).
No quick restart of course.
Also, the moment the game introduce enemies it gets really hard. Some enemies are almost impossible for me to predict their movement, especially when they stop moving.
I hate when they are obstacles that moves but have barely anything to "read" them.
Meh.
GB studio is probably not the best engine to use when making platforming games because MY GOD, it's so broken...
So this game is just Slenderman but the dronk edition. Don't get me wrong, the fact that the different bottles and cans are dispersed around the stage apartheid style is pretty cool, but the entire game is just give the alcohol to the bottles and don't die.
At least there is **that one stock SFX**.
My score : 1200
I just realized that the S key works like the Space key, I kept using S to try to stead the claw, but it just keeps grabbing.
That was really annoying, but the rest is alright.
