LD55 — Summoning

Burnout Purgatory by Samuli 2024-04-16T13:15:03Z

Visually very pleasing experience! Fascinating and thematic way of implementing two windows

You Are Gnome-Caller by uvwar 2024-04-16T05:10:01Z

I was pulled in by the magical gnomes! I wish there was a hint for the combinations Otherwise I appreciate the simplicity and the atmosphere.

Circle Tracer Cookie Defense by pkenney 2024-04-16T05:17:17Z

The gameplay was so smooth it felt great to play. The presentation was fun and worked with the arcade-y gameplay

Uber for Summoning Circles by ultrarat 2024-04-16T04:50:10Z

This was very fun experience. Got me hyped up for more :D

Elemental Surge by Foursay 2024-04-16T04:49:23Z

One of my favorites. Interesting, good-looking and sounding experience with smooth and simple controls. Great job!

Summon The Waiter by PromZona 2024-04-16T12:20:12Z

First game here to get me laugh aloud :D Amazing use of animation in intro and during gameplay!

Across The Bounds by funemaker 2024-04-16T04:51:48Z

Very atmospheric that kept me playing! One of the games I actually managed to finish which is satisfying.

The Art of Pixel Summoning (TAPS) by DigiDuncan 2024-04-16T05:02:09Z

I appreciate the simplicity. Creating monsters based on 2 elements was interesting and collecting more elements was a great loop!

Everything has a meaning by nyanpierre 2024-04-16T05:04:29Z

Nostalgic puzzle game with great atmosphere. I didn't get very far in making a ritual, but I felt engaged.

Hellish Military Service by Anton4ik-dev 2024-04-16T05:15:04Z

Beautiful game. I felt big sense of responsibility in my role, which was intriguing.

Conjuring Mama by Telkan 2024-04-16T13:01:40Z

Fun combination of mechanics that made up a very holesome experience :)

Trial by Combat by Gravityflip 2024-04-16T05:11:06Z

Amazing presentation! I had difficulty beating the second character, but I gave it more goes as I was curious to see more of them.

FERRYMAN by Wwwan 2024-04-16T05:18:23Z

Beautiful game. It was hard to navigate in the world, which is unfortunate, as I was intrigued to explore

Spring Summoner by twist 2024-04-16T04:58:15Z

Nice atmospheric experience! I liked the control scheme a lot, but I found it hard to use unfortunately. Gathering power-ups was hyping me up :)

mouche(s)? by PieRo_PBeS_studio 2024-04-17T17:34:54Z

Ufff.. what a combination of annoying and satisfying. Just like going after actual flies. Well done!

Candles of Doom by Tykki19 2024-04-16T06:24:17Z

@swerky @worldofmush @leozero @big-chalupa I realize that as I am very familiar with our own game, I also overlooked how to explain the gameplay effectively, oops! towner2.1 32.png Thank you for the feedbacks!

Candles of Doom by Tykki19 2024-04-16T15:21:33Z

@joschino I'm glad you persisted! Now that I listen to it again, I agree about the music! I was getting desperate looking for music and I was happy to have found this towner icon 32.png

Candles of Doom by Tykki19 2024-04-17T12:40:26Z

@life-creator For protecting the tree from all the candles, here is a fruity gift from the Sacred Tree. towner fruit.png

Candles of Doom by Tykki19 2024-04-22T17:37:14Z

@pkenney Oh no! The downers are coming up with new strategies! towner2.1 32.png

Thank you for the feedback and improvement idea!

Candles of Doom by Tykki19 2024-04-28T16:08:03Z

@thecritterscove Thank you for the appreciative comment! In the beginning of our design session we basically started with an idea of conventional battle with hitting and violence. We transformed that idea during the second day when townies' and downies' visual design emerged. I am happy you also found it valuable! towner icon 32.png

We Blessed Few by koloquials 2024-04-16T05:06:40Z

Surprisingly relatable higher beings and hints of humor was keeping me cozily engaged and reading carefully. I appreciate not having timer in the game.

Judith against the fierce demonic caramel eaters by Nickelfoolish 2024-04-16T05:12:34Z

Super cozy and fun simple gameplay :) I didn't really know what I was doing exactly with the golems, but I enjoyed my time anyway :)

Spellmancer by DenkiTheGamer 2024-04-16T04:47:47Z

The blue room got me stumped.. It's a fun puzzle game with good style.

The wizard penguin by leozero 2024-04-16T15:07:19Z

I was so focused on the spell combinations that I didn't register the score in top center. I just assumed I was playing against time, so I ended up with 255 when I looked over and realized the number was actually going up. Fun game! I wish the combinations were closer to center so I wouldn't need to focus on the corner of the screen.

LD58 — Collector

The Collector by Split82 2025-10-07T13:26:42Z

Beautiful consistent style! The juke possibility combined with using money as ammo is interesting choice all the time as I hope I am able to juke another time instead of spending money!

Lunar Burden by Iluvatar 2025-10-07T15:18:32Z

Amazingly beautiful and nostalgic look and genre. Really coherent game with all things fitting nicely together.

Happy Cleaning Co. by auxC 2025-10-07T15:37:29Z

What a nostalgic vibe in this game! Responsive controls and nice and small levels to clear and to feel satisfied afterwards :)

Dropseed by azahara 2025-10-07T15:01:27Z

Sweet little game. I like the consistent style a lot. Also the push-your-luck mechanism is nice.

Carrot Collector by F1Krazy 2025-10-08T13:49:49Z

Fun cute puzzler. Much more demanding than how it looks ^^'

Notebook Flight by HomoLudens 2025-10-08T14:05:59Z

Interesting control scheme! It was quite difficult, but also rewarding to learn by doing

A Very Sneaky Thief by telo.philippe 2025-10-07T11:29:13Z

I love the pacing and flow of the game. The hand is fun to control. Might steal this one..

Lil'Jones 2: The Collector's Tomb by SolidHinken 2025-10-07T11:14:29Z

I really like the controls and mechanisms that divide the attention and I love the concept of the game. It gets me curious for his next adventures :)

The Tithe of Souls by massivejack 2025-10-08T13:43:45Z

Really great coherent style and atmosphere!

Ludumon by Euler Moises 2025-10-07T15:07:19Z

The difficulty really ramps up! The concept is fun and all the monster designs are nice to look at. A cozy and pretty game.

Super Sucker by leorean 2025-10-07T11:35:50Z

Great consistent style. The animation is great for the tool/gun and it was fun to use. I'm impressed by the world design.

Taos K.O. by YogurtTheHorse 2025-10-07T11:24:01Z

Gorgeous game with consistently cool style. I got curious for more!

Keklik by Rogaven 2025-10-09T15:29:15Z

Nice little story to play through quickly. Simple and sweet.

Can you give me a hand gesture? by She Wrote 2025-10-09T06:54:46Z

Fun little game! I love that its a coherent complete game. Its elegant!

WebWeaver by JPGFG 2025-10-10T06:13:46Z

Nice and straight forward game! Great style! The dramatic music and the flies flying close-by was especially fun!

Lemme Stash by exozetart 2025-10-07T15:23:33Z

What a cute game! By holding collecting button down the hamster became a food hoover and I felt kinship :) Beautiful art and really nice consistent style.

Build-A-Bot by Tykki19 2025-10-08T10:48:26Z

@snowpriestess Hey! Congratulations! Today I came up with a new meta challenge to make the game more difficult:

**Golden Bot Challenge!** Build a full bot with only gold parts and win the game without selling it! emoji_gold_small.png

PRO TIP: The collected bots and parts stay until the next days ;-)

Gamedud by Prunus Padis 2025-10-10T06:00:33Z

Nice nostalgic little game. I appreciate the multiple playstyles within this one game and all of them quite good quality!

Little monster makehouse by Yatsu 2025-10-07T13:42:29Z

Really nice little mini games. Bit too challenging for me! The look of the different fluffy monster parts are beautiful!

Collector`s Insomnia by MrV 2025-10-08T14:41:40Z

Nice platformer! The character is super well animated!

Drunkink by voidsrc 2025-10-07T14:55:12Z

Really cool atmosphere and consistent and great quality art and style. Playing this with a stylus brought the experience to the next level.

Hoarder's Remorse by cartmouse 2025-10-07T15:13:41Z

Really nice atmosphere and a consistent and fitting style. The character has nice speed to them which I love.

BulkUp by naru 2025-10-09T16:26:05Z

I really like the style of the game, its so consistant and vibrant.

The Skitter Kit by surfacedfox 2025-10-07T13:34:30Z

Lovely little easter egg hunt with a chase challenge. Beautiful as well.

Please don't touch my collection by zidan-banan 2025-10-08T14:15:43Z

What an awesome and creative idea! It's elegant and charming!

Currency Collection Corvid by Elanor 2025-10-09T16:47:56Z

Simple and sweet!

Space Cleaner by Cahard 2025-10-08T14:27:43Z

What a piece of art! Really nostalgic vibe! I love color palette of the whole game and the consistent style including the music!

Violet's Home by l6ria 2025-10-07T11:41:08Z

Beautiful game and really nice voices for the characters. I am curious for your next game :)

LD59 — Signal

The Last Frequency by strong99 2026-04-21T18:10:48Z

Awesome looking game and great idea! The gameplay left me wanting for more, but I can see potential in it :)

Trail Signal by uvwar 2026-04-21T17:46:43Z

Wow, what an unexpected idea. Great innovation! I enjoyed playing the game with my drawing pad :)

Tiny Signal Lost by Strega 2026-04-22T05:00:51Z

Gorgeous looking game! The spatial puzzle mechanic tied to the character is clever and innovative. It got me puzzled quite quickly. Well done!

My Men! by CrispyPear 2026-04-21T17:39:22Z

Really neat spatial fighting game. The stamina mechanic was interesting to balance with. Consistent style and quality all around, which is awesome!

Signal Surfer by Ausstein 2026-04-21T20:22:15Z

Cool mechanic, it's satisfying when it flows, unfortunately I am not good at the game. I appreciate the innovation!

Follow my ski-gnal! by Ansible 2026-04-21T18:29:24Z

What a crazy game, it's wonderful. I am proud of my 1:34 time and 83 cleared results. Fun take on the theme and the sport as well. Great aesthetic too, hitting the nostalgia bone.

Directive 13 by Nabil Shelim 2026-04-21T18:21:55Z

Awesome game fitting the theme. Also superb and consistent style and quality. Well done!

Cleared for Chaos by Reed Molbak 2026-04-22T05:11:09Z

Really fun and intuitive game. I liked the limited, but interesting controls and the upgrades that offered little variation. Well done!

Echo by FunnyPumpkin 2026-04-21T20:13:41Z

Really neat puzzle game. The puzzles aren't too complex and I rather do many of them back-to-back like here than try to solve bigger ones. The game feels polished. Well done!

Too Many Goblins! by Tykki19 2026-04-21T19:38:01Z

@zamizmi for long while we played the game without any vehicle sounds, so when we implemented them I was full of glee. The fact they start when they are spawned and play out a long while and just get louder was one of my most joyous moments of creating the game :D They worked out better than I imagined they would

lil lighthouse by Boxofcuriosity 2026-04-21T17:57:22Z

What an awesome game. The mood was pretty much perfection. The game loop was nice and the game was easy to learn by playing. Well done!
