Hi everyone!

We learned that rating late yielded us low karma, and since the smart balance weigh karma way more than ratings we are now struggling to get our 20 ratings. Please help us :)

Hey guys!

Right now we are working to improve our game. Therefore, we need feedback on the project in order to take into account the existing errors and shortcomings in the final version. It would be great to get them from you!

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

Shortly after the Ludum Dare, I got hit with a bunch of medical problems and put off rating the games. I still have those medical problems, but I rated 35 or so games yesterday, hoping to be able to get it to 20, but I'm not sure it can at the moment, which is why I'm making this post.

My game is an art toy, can be tried in a very short amount of time, and can make beautiful abstract pieces like this!

Please do give it a shot and help vote! Thank you so much.

Just realised I haven't said anything all Jam! Ah!

Hello!

So once upon a time every Jam you wouldn't be able to shut me up, especially back on the old compo site. Alas, I was in secondary school back then. This now my third jam since I started working as a full time game developer. It's become increasingly difficult both to find time and energy to continue to participate in the community as well as to rate other games. That might have something to do with the many paragraphs I end up writing though. I do it to myself. :sweat_smile:

Anyways! I just wanted to make one single post, because this is my FIFTEENTH Ludum Dare! Wow! That's a multiple of five so it's special! It really has been a wild time though, and I suspect the Ludum Dare will end before my passion for it wanes. So let me show you Hellevator! Look at me thinking I was clever for the title, but there's at least four other games with the same name, ahaha. It's a wave based third persion, top-down-ish shooter.

Working with two good friends, one of them being my longtime LD companion, we focussed super heavily on gameplay feel for this one, and so whilst I don't think it's the most unique and original LD game we've ever made, I do think it's the most fun game I've made for a Jam. It was also a blast making it, mad props to Malu, who did a lot of the art and all of the UI art, for knocking it out the park for their first game.

If it looks like fun, it'd be amazing if you'd give some feedback on it, and after work I'm going to try and play as many titles as I can. My personal best dept is 5406m, but anything deeper than 2.5km is a great score!

Well done this Jam all who entered! I say this every time but there's some amazing games this time around.

Yo wanna play a pretty decent jam game

well, here it is! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/the-bomble-mines

I'm fixing a lot of the bugs in the game and I'm going to update it to be a small game which I can look at and go, "Thats cool"

I'm reworking all of the assets in the game. This is the new player asset

Gb main try I guess (1).gif

Last chance to rate: Descent into Tyranny

We proudly present: Descent into Tyranny.

“I am in blood Stepped in so far that should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er” – Macbeth

I took a phrase from Shakespeare as the game's motto. What is basically means is that, once you are mired in tyranny and bloodshed, there is no way back. It is like a classic plot of murder mysteries: once the murderer commits one murder, they have to keep on murdering to cover it up.

The citizens in this game behave according to simple force-based mechanics, resulting in interesting collective behaviour, similar to fluid dynamics. They have two states: afraid and angry. They have fear and anger stats, and they become angrier over time, proportional to your tyranny level. They will also become angrier when they see others being killed, and when they are near other angry citizens. Once anger is higher than fear, they become angry. Win the game by making all citizens fearful, using propaganda. However, every action you do will increase your tyranny level. Some citizens will never become fearful, they have to be killed.

Last play+rate stream

Hello! Im going to be playing danger zone games mostly, but if you want me to play your game, drop the link in chat

https://www.twitch.tv/kuviman

Finally it is the last day to rate the game.

But playing is still possible after the deadline ends :)

Also i plan to make a switch version for it with a 2 player mode and more levels. Thank you all for your great feedback and ideas to improve my game.

Play it here

Last 9 Hours! Please Consider trying Dwarven Depths :)

As its the last 9 hours I just thought ide put my game out there again for any last minute playthroughs, it was made by me alone, although the assets are premade. Shouldn't take more than 5 mins to play through and there is a WEB version (recommend downloading it).

It would mean a lot and your feedback would be great as I am working on a similar game outside the Jam now :)

Note: I am aware of the Stairs Bug that people seem to exploit so hint, the real solution is in the Columns. also don't go to near the edge on the first platform as there is some hitbox issues. Sound plays a decent part in the immersion of the game (although I had to opt out).
