Ludum Dare 56 October 4–7, 2024

A race stopped short: Spider Grand Prix

I didn't fully complete this game but I'd still implore you to give what's here a whirl. You play as a spider trying to get to the finish line by climbing over walls and using your web to make it easier to get around. Be careful! If you shoot too many webs you'll run out of energy and pass out! There was also meant to be a mechanic whereby you would eat flies to gain health but as I said I ran into problems. I will be updating this game after the competition is over. Youreema/emspider_prix.png

I am finished!

I have managed to finish another game for my second LDJam in row!

I present Squabble Snooker.

Squabble Snooker

There are some bugs and issues having to do with the UI and restarting the game. However I do not have the energy anymore tonight.

I wish everyone good luck and i'll get back to playing games tomorrow. for today I need a screen break.

Progress 'Monday' - And published!

Unbelievable, but I made it without (major) anxiety issues. My solo game is published and in the list of the Jams. Today I took out a small mistake, worked on the description I had typed a draft on my phone before sleep finally overtook me and made some simple art to add. Having a black screen only does not really attract players, during gameplay you will see enough black already :sweat_smile: Anyhow, putting nerves aside I present to you...

I know I can do better, but I am satisfied with everything I did and have learned. I showed myself I can do it, despite all my uncertainty. Have to say though, I am very nervous for the feedback but not backing out now. Have a good night!

Side note: I have no clue how to add links and keep them working here in the messages, so please be so kind to just press my name if you wish to play. :blue_heart:

It's done, I've uploaded

Every game jam I've done the past few months I've bitten off more than I can chew, and ultimately ended up not being able to finish.

Happy to have continued that trend with Ludum Dare 56 :sunglasses:

I am done. And happy.

This is the 3rd Jam i was in and i believe this time i chose the scope correctly and really got a well rounded game. I even had time to put in some sound effects. Although its only a few. I learned to use the animation feature more instead of animating things through code. Also, only one keyboard was sacrificed to fluids and is currently dried on the heater.

If you want to try my game its playable in the browser on itch.io Here is the game page: Survival of the Shadowlings

If someone plays it before 12am. Let me know if the crude controls desription is enough or if more tutorial on the page is needed.

How can you not want to save those littly guys? Umbrelling.png

Off the cuff Battle Dots

Yesterday, as the evening arrived, I experienced an insatiable urge to make a game for Ludum Dare. I checked for the next event and realized that it was almost over! I got to work and threw together this little game, called Battle Dots. It's by no means a production-quality game, but I'm proud of how far I've come in being able to cobble together a simple game or proof-of-concept pretty quickly. Would love to hear your feedback!

Dreadzone awaits you!

Are you brave enough to come to the Dreadzone? We have everything you need — tears, stress, guns, plenty of ammo and HTML5.

Play here, I will play & rate your game back too, of course!

So pleased and proud to have finished my submission just in time!

This is the second game jam I've joined in a relatively recent amount of time, and I am loving tkaing the break from my main projects to be able to focus on these little weekend brain exercises.

My game is more of a short <5 minute silly one-off, but I'd be stoked if you'd give it a shot, and hopefully you get a chuckle out of it. It is a drag race of snail-proportions between you and eight other competitor mollusks. This game (HTML5) works best in the itch.io in browser launcher (the one on this site is a bit cropped) here:

Ready, Set, Escargot!

Thanks!! escargotss3.png
