Ludum Dare 56 October 4–7, 2024

It's finished

For this Ludum Dare, I participated with a friend who made the music. I'm pretty happy with how the game turned out, although I wish we had more time to create more levels. In any case, link your games and I'll play them.. (I might stream later, this weekend perhaps).. and try our game!! RunFromSpider.gif

THE WEBGL VERSION IS OUT !

I know everyone prefers WebGL games as it doesn't require any download so I did it !

I used to have issues with washed out colors in WebGL but now it's fixed !

Let's see if you can get through the 13 levels of my simple yet challenging puzzle game : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/tiny-heads

Creating the song, pixel art and throwing stuff on my desk

I had a great time doing the resources for the game! I took me 1 hour to compose, mix and master the music, less than 3 hours for the 2d sprites and a few minutes recording plastic box dropping on my desk, play it and you'll understand: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/tinygotchi-creatures

Retro PC, Tabletop, 2D, 3D, and it's done...

This Ludum Dare was intense! I was convinced until the very last moment that I wouldn't be able to finish the game, but it all worked out in the end :)

Gameplay-wise, it's an idle game where you create small creatures, but the main idea was to combine the aesthetics of an old PC with a board game. I think I managed to achieve that, and I invite everyone to give it a try!

In a process of making game i drastically change idea

Initially, I planned to make a simple tower defense game. However, I realized that the creatures I had designed were too random, and enemies could bypass my defenders even if my army was massive. So, I pivoted the idea, and now the goal is just to meet a quota. That part was easy to implement, but balancing the game turned out to be a real challenge.

Here’s my favorite gif of a bug that I actually kind of like.

Bugs related to the second character have been fixed

This was our first game and the idea for it is quite ambitious for Game Jam. So... there were several bugs, but not too scary. For those who do not know, this is a roguelike simulator of bacteria in the human body! With a lot of upgrades and two characters. There are also four different locations in the game. The main bugs were related to the second character, the twins. There were also funny bugs - large pieces of food had less health than small ones, and rare upgrades were more common than standard upgrades. The game code decided to make fun of us... On the screenshot, we are in a blood vessel :grimacing:. Please try our game and leave a comment Screenshot_5.png

MicroMedic is now hiring!

Unwind with us!

:fireworks: Congrats to all who made it through the deadline, congrats to everyone who gave it a shot (even that counts). :fireworks:

In the past ~20 hours, I dove deep into some truly amazing entries, packed with action, emotion and intellectual challenges. However I feel, that after all that excitement, it’s time for me to take a break - no more racing against the clock to check every submission. Let’s unwind together instead. :relaxed:

Consider this an invitation to experience the most relaxing battles you’ve ever fought. Grabb a cup of tea, your favourite snacks and settle in for some mellow tunes and pretty lights in our small prototype - Woodland Pixies.

This is our very first admission to Ludum Dare and actually the first game me and my partner-in-crime Parxer ever made. That being said, we would be VERY grateful to hear your thoughts - we’re hungry for any feedback, even the harsh one.

You’ll be hearing more from us soon... :fist: Stay tuned!

Want to commit a tiny heist?

Well, in Pixie Pilfer you can!

Fly in and grab everything you can from Goblin's house. Because surely he can share, right?
