LD39 — Running out of Power

Bot Bot Wars by woodenrabbit 2017-08-01T02:19:38Z

Hahaha! I enjoyed this one. It would be nice if there were hotkeys for each of the "energy replenishment"s, but good work nonetheless! :)

Musk Hunter by LandoSystems 2017-08-01T02:20:36Z

This may be the best thing I've seen all year.

Ghost's End by austinspafford 2017-08-01T02:13:54Z

This is incredible! Absolutely stunning work!

Hypersquare by klekky 2017-08-01T02:40:44Z

Looks and plays great! It's very fluid. Great work! :D

TowerClicker by SenileLines 2017-07-31T15:49:52Z

Great concept! I love the game!

Out of Steam by Ductoman16 2017-08-01T02:45:34Z

This is a great concept! Loved it! :)

Wave by logiraffe_shawn 2017-08-01T02:11:02Z

Very cool vibe with the graphics! Reminds me a lot of Abzu, which is high praise! :)

Growing Pains by ctjet99 2017-08-01T02:55:06Z

I had lots of fun with this one, folks! Great work!

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

The more hair you have... by Naca 2017-12-05T16:22:17Z

I'll be honest - I was really iffy on the concept when I first started playing, but I'm so glad I stuck it out!

Really, really well done here.

Also, an extra kudos for the fantastic work on the graphics!

Science Cat Hell: Extreme Maze Edition by dwemthy 2017-12-06T03:32:20Z

I liked it! I did have to end the session when I got the bazooka and could no longer move (I think I may have gotten stuck in the walls).

Lots of fun in the game. And the variety of weapons and items shows the work that went into it. Well done!

Boiler Room Defense by cerno-b 2017-12-07T15:55:01Z

This is such a fantastic use of the theme!

I really enjoyed the fluidity of the controls. I'm also really impressed that you managed to get a high score system in place for the jam! Well done!

Of Fates and Feels by bwalter 2017-12-04T15:46:23Z

I enjoyed this one a fair bit. It really does have that retro vibe, from the monochromatic pixel art to the encounter sounds.

Well done!

Camera Cut by Kasper HdL 2017-12-05T16:16:38Z

What a fantastic idea for a game!

***Pros*** * Brilliant concept for a game. * Handles well. * Clear indication of when you've successfully collected orbs. * Lots of fun!

***Cons*** * It's a little tough to look at after a while. The bright colours are a bit hard on the eye.

Overall a fantastic effort here, well done!

(By the way, I played this game on Linux and it worked perfectly! :))

Patient Zero by btwj 2017-12-23T22:29:45Z

Phenomenal puzzle game you've put together! I really can't think of any constructive feedback as you've done fantastically-well! Congratulations!

Duck Guardian by mahalis 2017-12-04T15:59:50Z

I absolutely adore this!

Brilliantly-well made and absolutely delightful!

Plastic by jeroenwimmers 2017-12-04T20:40:51Z

This is fantastic! Really well done on all counts!

The Will of the Wisps by adsilcott 2017-12-05T16:29:31Z

I am so glad I found this game.

What you've created here is beautiful and haunting. In five minutes you wordlessly created an entire universe in my mind. In particular, I loved walking onto the dock; Genuinely unsettling!

The art is astounding, the music is phenomenal, and the controls are just right.

Fantastically well done!

Pajuu - Always With You by Samurai Spark 2017-12-06T16:41:50Z

I love what you did here. The music, the artwork, and the controls are all fantastic!

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to finish as I kept failing at a jump later on, and there aren't any checkpoints, so I was forced to start from the beginning again.

I think you've done a fantastic job otherwise, though!

Property In-spectre by Tad 2017-12-04T15:56:35Z

@tristanf

Thanks for the feedback! We had some difficulty with the stairs in particular. It's certainly something we'll revisit if we continue working on the game!

Property In-spectre by Tad 2017-12-05T21:16:28Z

@Nivbeth You should be able to go downstairs by standing in front of the stairs (unintuitive, I know! Sorry!)

@Shimmen That's a good thought. We decided that the time spent spooking unhaunted objects was penalty enough, but perhaps we need to shorten the round-time.

Thanks for the feedback!

To the glory of the great North Korea by Jonasz999 2017-12-06T03:54:41Z

Very cool that you built a tower-defense game in a weekend!

I enjoyed it a lot, though it's quite difficult!

Cosmiring by Dumivid 2017-12-04T15:53:46Z

A good amount achieved for this LDJam game!

I enjoyed it a lot, but I agree with @move127 that the levels are too large.

That said, a fantastic result with this game! :)

Milk Hunt by Weizengaming 2017-12-06T03:35:18Z

I tried it on linux and unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. I could launch the game to the splashscreen, but attempting to click on the "Start Game" button did nothing. :(

Sunburn by Shimmen 2017-12-05T15:58:57Z

Really cool game you've got going here! There is a pretty sharp spike in difficulty after the first sun umbrella, though! It took me about 5 attempts before I was able to get the sunscreen!

Well done on this one! :)

Late to the Airport by saturn007 2017-12-06T03:55:45Z

I'm getting a 404: Page not found error when I attempt to follow the link. I hope it's easy to fix! :)

Craskiing by Rewzu 2017-12-04T15:41:46Z

Really well done, here! It's a lot of fun replaying the game and trying to beat my own high score!

Leaning Tower by Patrick D 2017-12-04T15:40:12Z

Great idea - I love it!

It plays really well, too!

LD45 — Start with nothing

King Conga by Tad 2019-10-08T05:10:42Z

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback!

We're aware of the lag in the web version! Unfortunately we ran out of time to optimise as well as we'd have liked! We recommend downloading the executable for a smoother experience! :)

Return to Nothing by SageWare 2019-10-11T10:52:05Z

Really interesting concept! I enjoyed going around and interacting with the planets. Quite a bit achieved here for the jam.

Well done! :)

Seedvilization by graslany 2019-10-08T05:15:15Z

Awesome game! I'm very impressed with the quality of the art and the effective implementation of a World-of-Goo-like building system. Really well done! :D

LD46 — Keep it alive

Is it wrong to feed haterz to my plants? by khaotom 2020-04-21T07:25:52Z

Hahaha, very "A Little Shop of Horrors"! I like it a lot. The animations are great. It's challenging, but a lot of fun!

WormsWorms by saucygames 2020-04-21T07:20:05Z

This is so much fun to play! I love how chaotic it gets once you have more than a few of the small birds stealing the worms. Brilliant work! :D

Air Ball by joh 2020-04-21T07:33:21Z

Very cool idea! Very enjoyable to play!

I'm not sure whether it just happened to me, but the zoom panel (at the bottom) overlayed the players which made life difficult! Otherwise, great job!

Henry's wet dream by Kornel 2020-04-21T07:15:42Z

I love the art! As you mentioned, it it a pretty easy game, but I found it quite endearing. Well done with this one!

Keep Her Happy by OrciFried 2020-04-21T07:28:29Z

This has got to be one of the most innovative concepts I've ever seen in LD. Well done!

Quite Contrary by chelC 2020-04-21T05:13:52Z

Such a lovely experience. Really beautiful (and very calming). Well done!

Starving Green by konomizure 2020-04-21T15:57:15Z

I love the concept! The controls are a bit difficult to get used to, but I'm very impressed that this game was produced alongside another one in the same game jam. Excellent work! :)

The Tree by Vadzim 2020-04-21T16:00:17Z

I love the core mechanic and the music. So relaxing. So beautiful. Well done!

Last keeper by Tatyana 2020-04-21T05:40:19Z

This is incredible! I had so much fun playing all the minigames. So well polished too. You should be very proud of this entry! :smile:

Houston, We Have A Problem by Steve Dragon 2020-04-21T07:37:05Z

An interesting take on the theme, and quite enjoyable to play! Well done!

Final Interrogation by Gamer Fates 2020-04-21T05:56:34Z

A cool concept, well done! :)

Soulectron by Bredian 2020-04-21T05:08:50Z

A really polished game! Unfortunately I ran into a couple of UI bugs, but the effort put in here is great for LD! :)

Goddle Royale by yigitserin 2020-04-21T07:09:28Z

I love the concept! It was a lot of fun to play too. Well done! :D

Flippy Fish by Doot 2020-04-21T15:54:30Z

This is brilliant. I had so much fun playing this one. Great work all around!

Spirit of the Forest by podchasov 2020-04-21T15:50:39Z

Very cool game! A lot achieved for a game jam. Well done!

Stroller Rover by Kupnu4 2020-04-21T05:36:14Z

Very cool! This is so well polished for a Ludum Dare game. Great work!

Defend the reef by Dingo 2020-04-21T05:21:45Z

The reef growing and then gaining colour was a great visual feedback mechanism. Well done! :)

Keep Pit Alive! by BunnyDen 2020-04-21T07:12:05Z

Great concept. A lot of fun to play and the art is gorgeous, too! Great work!

Coxless Dirible - In 72 hours around the World! by fachscahfttf 2020-04-21T07:45:03Z

I like it a lot! One thing - it was often a bit unclear what steps needed to be taken when. Well done!

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Legendary Orbit Golf by pschichtel 2020-10-06T15:45:49Z

Really nifty idea, and a lot achieved here for a game jam. It would be great to have a bit more control of the trajectory of the ball, but I appreciate that would be tough with the time constraints given! Great work! :)

Stuck In Paris by CocaPasteque 2020-10-06T04:59:55Z

Hahaha - we also did a roundabout game! This was a lot of fun to play. I can see a lot of great work went into it as well. Fantastic job, team!

The Loop by minibobbo 2020-10-06T05:30:23Z

This was a lot of fun to play. It was a little confusing as to what to do at first, but once I got the hang of it I had a lot of fun. Great job, team!

BLOBIUS by chaoclypse 2020-10-08T10:56:44Z

Super-polished game, and such a clever game mechanic. I really enjoyed playing this one. Well done! :)

DJ Loopz by gamezero 2020-10-07T15:46:55Z

Really cool concept! Excellently executed as well. Great job! :D

Friday Night Funkin by Cameron Taylor 2020-10-06T05:17:50Z

This is so cool! Amazing effort for a game jam. The graphics are phenomenal and the mechanics are tight. Well done!

Stuck in Office Routine by Nikolay Zapolnov 2020-10-06T15:36:51Z

This was a lot of fun! I found myself continuing to play even after I'd gotten a pretty good idea for my scores. Great work here! :D

A Ghost Party by lexi 2020-10-06T08:34:34Z

This is very cute - I enjoyed it a lot. Perhaps a little tenuous on the theme, but I enjoyed playing this one a lot!

Retro Stuck by roboshamit 2020-10-07T19:47:14Z

This is really well put together! I did find that the words moved a bit too quickly for me to read them in a lot of cases, but that might be due to the smaller laptop screen I'm playing on. Really well done! :)

Loopomotive by Tamas Turi 2020-10-06T08:27:18Z

This is so cool. Definitely one of the best I've played for LD47 so far! Well done!

WHILE (TRUE) by smiley 2020-10-06T05:52:15Z

Really nifty idea. Loved the execution, too. I got serious Monaco vibes from the art style, which is super-cool. Excellent work!

Loopomotive by JPiolho 2020-10-07T18:32:33Z

This is so polished, I'm surprised it's a game jam game. It's a really clever game mechanic and is a lot of fun to play. Really well done here - I'm super-impressed! :D

POKKO by gord10ahmet 2020-10-07T18:48:14Z

One of the best, most polished games I've played this LDJam. You should be very proud of what you've made here!

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-05T20:37:44Z

Hey @jonah Sorry for the confusion - it should be up now! :)

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-06T05:18:57Z

@tero-pulkkinen Sorry to hear that. We'll look into the issue and see if we can't fix it. Thanks for letting me know!

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-06T05:26:26Z

@jamison Thanks for playing. We spent a lot of time tweaking the visuals to avoid the motion sickness feeling, so I'm glad it worked out!

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-06T05:38:33Z

@seth-tal Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Is there any chance of getting a WebGL or Linux build of your game so that I can try it out?

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-06T06:19:51Z

@mrtroy That's better than my first few attempts (which were in the minutes)! Thanks for playing!

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-07T08:37:55Z

@shanzhai You should be able to accelerate just by holding the up key down. Is that not working for you?

@oxropy It's a good point - we probably should have had "r" as a restart button. At the moment, you can press esc and then enter to get back into the game from the "uh-oh" screen, if that helps! :)

Blood Drive by Tyler Miller 2020-10-07T18:24:21Z

The controls got a bit of getting used to, but it was part of the challenge in playing. It's very enjoyable once you get the hang of it. Well done :)

Track Day by Remzo 2020-10-07T19:45:07Z

This is so much fun to play. The drifty controls and AI players make it a delight. Really great job on this one! :D

A Night Around the Fire by arron-fowler 2020-10-07T20:03:45Z

This is so spooky. I really enjoyed playing this one, and audibly laughed when I saw the ghost of your friend playing guitar! Wonderful game. Great job!

Caterpillar Cowboy by eldogg 2020-10-06T12:00:57Z

This is ridiculously fun - well done to the team!

Echo Anomaly by Fonics 2020-10-06T05:14:07Z

Great work, here! The graphics are really stellar and the concept is intriguing. Well done!

Beyond Death by Trypants 2020-10-07T17:43:54Z

Wow. This game is incredibly impressive given the time constraints for the jam. The graphics and audio are great, and the fact that there are advanced camera moves on top of it is wild. Really well done, team!

GLITCH LOOP by ZakAmana 2020-10-06T08:51:43Z

This is so well done - truly amazing how polished it is given the time constraints. Phenomenal job!

Deja vu by Thomas Volpato 2020-10-07T19:04:00Z

It's a very cool concept. Sometimes the controls weren't as responsive as I'd like, but an impressive effort for a solo developer! :)

LÖÖPS by Tamail 2020-10-07T18:15:58Z

This is hilarious, and so much fun to play. Excellent work!

Among Stars and Robots by jaoel 2020-10-07T17:38:54Z

This is such a cool puzzle game! Really inventive mechanics and lovely graphics to boot. Really well done, team! :)

Life's Loop by Matav 2020-10-06T05:11:08Z

Unfortunately it seems to get stuck while loading the WebGL version. I'd love to play this if it's fixed!

Loopita's Dream by vetu11 2020-10-07T18:39:54Z

This is such a cute game. It may only last a minute or so, but it was well worth experiencing. I really enjoyed this. Well done! :)

The Ribbon by Fax 2020-10-06T06:39:21Z

This is so slick - I love it. Great concept with great execution. Excellent work! :)

Swop by igaryhe 2020-10-07T17:35:54Z

I'm very impressed by the concept. This is such a clever game mechanic. I really enjoyed playing this one. Well done! :D

Caterpillar Dissent: Deliverance by Skleembof 2020-10-07T18:50:06Z

This is one of the greatest LD pages for a game ever. I really enjoyed the game too. Incredible effort for one person over a weekend. Great work!

DooooG by Marco Marchitelli 2020-10-06T06:33:43Z

This is incredibly impressive for a game jam! Very, very well done to the team!

The Trade Secret by Milestone Games 2020-10-07T18:26:29Z

This is super-cool. I'm really impressed with anyone who manages to succeed in making a compelling story-based game given how limited time is in a game jam. Really well done to the team! :D

The Trade Secret by Milestone Games 2020-10-07T18:28:51Z

@milestone-games That's even more impressive. Excellent work!

Looped Chaos by KDgame 2020-10-07T17:46:37Z

This is such a simple mechanic, but so well implemented. I really enjoyed the challenge of this game! Unfortunately, I'm not very good, but will definitely play it a bit more. My only one nit-pick is that the death sound was very loud and made me jump the first few times, haha! Excellent work! :)

The Magic Hat by Shanzhai 2020-10-06T15:21:59Z

Very cool game! I loved the mechanics. And I am a completionist so I spent a lot longer than I should have trying to get the cacti!

Stuck in a Soup Loop by Doot 2020-10-07T15:56:09Z

This is phenomenal! Well done on this one - it's so polished! :D

Core Guard by TomatoLamp 2020-10-06T05:40:54Z

Super-slick graphics! Great job for a game jam. Well done, team!

Snack 'N' Jack by Head Tilt Games 2020-10-06T06:18:58Z

Heya - I'd really like to play this one, but itch.io says you haven't uploaded a WebGL build?

Snack 'N' Jack by Head Tilt Games 2020-10-06T06:23:52Z

@head-tilt-games It worked, thanks!

This one's a lot of fun. The controls are slick and it gets tense when you're reloading. Great job to the team!

office-hours by jonah 2020-10-07T15:53:58Z

I got murdered by an angry customer within 30 seconds. 10/10, would play again. Great job!

Don't Stress that Beat! by JoskerDu 2020-10-06T05:23:48Z

Very cool concept! It would have been great if you could speed up the pace of your own accord, but this is a great job for a game jam. Well done!

Stuck in a Loop by RameshBlue 2020-10-06T04:52:34Z

Very cool little shooter! Unfortunately, it seemed like the aiming reticule wasn't quite lined up with the mouse pointer? This may be a linux issue, though! I had a lot of fun playing this one - well done! :)

Convolooption by potatopancakes 2020-10-06T06:35:25Z

This is very impressively polished and so fun to play. Amazing work! :D

Car Looper by Snotax 2020-10-07T17:32:13Z

Very nifty little concept. It's also quite polished for a jam game. Well done!

Topple Tower by rinish 2020-10-06T06:49:35Z

This is very impressive. The game plays well and feels satisfying. Really well done, here!

Mage Game by droo shayne 2020-10-06T05:03:33Z

This is such a cool, unique idea! Great execution, too. Well done, team!

Bjorn to Dance by Tomh 2020-10-06T04:56:02Z

Very cool twist on a Simon-Says-Type game! Great sense of humour and brilliant animations. Well done! :)

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-06T08:20:41Z

Really great attempt for a first game jam. Well done! :)

Outside The Loop by Peace Of Cake Games 2020-10-07T19:50:36Z

This is a cool game. It would have been great to see an even larger world we could explore as players, using the thrown loops to go higher or get to far-off platforms. Great effort here! :)

Beelieve by Diego Teran 2020-10-06T06:47:18Z

Very cool entry. As @zakamana said above, the controls can take a little bit of getting used to, but I think overall you should be very proud of what you've made here. Fantastic work - well done! :)

Dental Recviem | That's Always Happening by Usenrame 2020-10-06T04:43:22Z

This was very original! I laughed quite loudly at the man's entrance via the glass door. Well done!

Spoonful by Ryuk47 2020-10-06T04:40:49Z

What a nifty idea! Very original! I enjoyed playing this one a lot. Well done!

INSIDE THE LOOP by aerloth 2020-10-06T04:48:25Z

Really well done on this one! It's super-atmospheric and pretty to boot! Unfortunately I got stuck a little bit into the game, but I loved what I did get to play! Incredible work for a game jam!

Looped by Leo Red 2020-10-06T06:03:14Z

Very cool idea, and a lot of fun to play. I do wish there were a way to just hold down the mouse to continually shoot, but I think that clicking also has its challenge. Well done on this one! :)

Aztec Ride by Idan Rooze 2020-10-06T06:29:12Z

I came here from Reddit and I have to say that this is so great. Phenomenal work all around!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deepest Sword by Strega 2021-04-27T06:03:17Z

Nifty game! I love the mechanic!

Oiligarch by dxk2294 2021-04-28T04:41:24Z

Really nifty little game! I love these kinds of games where you have to balance a whole bunch of different mechanics and aspects. Well done here! :)

Smooth Operator by Tad 2021-04-27T05:55:58Z

@Usenrame now that you've posted this, I realise I should have added a whistling part to the song!

Diggillion by OgelGames 2021-04-28T04:36:18Z

I enjoyed the digging mechanic a great deal; it felt really satisfying carving through the rock and ore!

I'm not sure if it's only me, but there were definitely a few times that the game lagged a lot. Not a huge issue for the jam, though!

Great work here! :)

Deep Way To Basement by Usenrame 2021-04-27T05:59:24Z

This is a lot of fun. Great concept and great implementation! The furthest I got was 76m!

LD55 — Summoning

Tristram by Rongo Matane 2024-04-16T18:43:30Z

This was great! I loved the vibe and found myself playing a lot longer than I expected for an LD game! Well done all around! :D
