Ludum Dare 58 October 3–6, 2025

Yoooooo

It'll be my 5th LD entry, and 17th game jam participation overall (and still a lot of room for improvement)

Whether it is your 1st participation or 10th, don't give up, don't forget to have fun in your project (that is the most important thing for me in jams at least), sleep and eat well, and good luck!!! Let's make cool things

Hi all

~~Is there a way to see all the themes ranked? I'd love to see how the other themes scored~~

EDIT: Just saw the post haha, thanks!

Let's collect

it means we all will be collecting something, time is ticking

Too late for a new stack?

Well, I was planning on using Fennel+Love2D, but then I discovered that Janet has Raylib bindings, and now I'm torn!

Maybe the true theme was the game engines we collected along the way?

Got my concept: Ratman Blinks Bag Of Too Many Things

You are Ratman Blink, you have a bag of too many things, as you collect more things more effects compound as magic items react with eachother, your goal is to collect as many things as possible in the time limit, while being careful to not get bonked dropping your things

Awesome theme!!

It's been years since my last Ludum Dare... I like the theme so much that I'm gonna give it a shot! Here we go! 💖
