This is our last individual creature spotlight, and I have to be honest, I was saving the best for last! Each minion is based off of a VOCALOID, one of our team members, or a close friend. This one is actually our dog!

Sir Paws can defend or attack - he's a low cost unit that summons a pack of attack hounds! He has pretty high speed as well, so he's a solid all-arounder.

Hello there! Thank you all for the great feedback. I released a post LD version on my itch.io. You can still play the compo version as Desktop version. Would love the feedback.

A couple of changes introduced based on feedback:

• less dark
• dash/evade is not coupled to where the mouse is pointing.
• readability of stats comparison
• the guns feel better
• chests have random weapons that feel good
• improved visuals
• show correct wave
• damage taken visualizer is now better on the eyes
• when you clear a room you get a visual cue
• adjustment of difficulty
• spikes are now bigger and better to see
• less unfair placed spikes
• teleports are now always located on the top center after a wave completes
• new textbox for better readability
• bugfixes

Now go rescue your creatures!!

Thanks to everyone who played, rated, and/or gave me feedback on my Ludum Dare 56 game, Battle Dots! It has enough ratings that it should get a score.

I've started implementing improvements to get me ready for jamming out an improved game next time. Would love to hear more feedback so I can know how to make a better game.

Have fun jamming!

Ballverse is a casual arcade game. All you have to do is to destroy as many enemies as you can before you die from the spikes or the void. You can also upgrade your ball to destroy the enemies easier and change your skin to have a new look!

Do you accept the challenge?

P. S. This game has a secret. Can you discover it??

Another Ludum Dare has ended and the next Score Chasers tournament is starting!

Score chasers is a tournament where people compete to get high scores in games submitted to this Ludum Dare within a certain amount of time. This includes things such as completing a game in the lowest amount of time, getting the most score in a game, or other ways a game can be competed in. The tournament is taking place on Saturday, October 19th, 2024 4:00 PM UTC (with it being broadcasted on https://twitch.tv/ategondev).

This thread is a spot where you can share potential games for competitors to look at and possibly submit to be played in the tournament. Its not guaranteed that games will get in as there is a very large amount of games submitted to the jam and only around 6 or 7 get played in the tournament based on what competitors vote on.

Games that typically work well with the tournament are ones that either have a score system that can be competed in or can have speedruns, and where runs of the game dont end up taking a large amount of time so they can be run through multiple times in the tournament.

If youre interested in the tournament including watching it or participating in the event feel free to join our discord! https://discord.gg/FhP4jaZ7KS (please dont join the discord just to share your game though, thats what this thread is for)

Can't keep up with all those amazing entries!

LFG!

happy testing, yall :-)

Thanks for you valueble feedback. It seems like folks are enjoying the game.

I added custom greetings to all my guests:

```rust pub fn fetchgreetings() -> Vec { includestr!("greetings.txt") .lines() .map(|lines| lines.trim().to_string()) .collect() }

.......

for puzzle in selectedpuzzles { // Setup ....... let rndgreeting = greetings.choose(&mut rand::thread_rng()).unwrap(); loop { // Render the puzzle and question ...... ```

I also just made the game way harder using this:

rust let psychic_damage = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(1..5); paint.answer_result = format!("{guess} was INCORRECT! Guest did {psychic_damage} psychic damage to your ego!"); game.health -= psychic_damage;

I dare you to guess what the above piece of code achieved.

Finally I made it so Audio is a disabled by default feature, to promote developer experience using cfg!()
