20 ratings for Kobolds, Yip yap!

Thank you everyone, Kobold Fishing has reached 20 ratings, woo! We love all the feedback, good or bad, it's all very helpful as we consider what to do next!

Apologies from our team for not rating everyone in return, we are still very tired, and work has stolen us away again! We are catching up, and we will try to get to your games as soon as we can. To be honest it's all been a bit overwhelming seeing how our little kobolds bring cheer to so many of you!

For now, thank you everyone for all the positive vibes! This is a great community, and has been a fabulous learning experience for us too.

Thank you all so much for the positive feedback on Nesting, my first compo game.

It's been delightful to read everyone's comments, and I'm stunned that I've already hit nearly 60 ratings! If you haven't already, why not spend some time flying around as a little bird with a little backpack? If you have Pico-8 you can search Splore for Nesting 1.0 or grab the cart here! nesting.p8.png

Otherwise, Play Nesting Here and please do leave your feedback! :smile:

See you at the Ludum Dare 53 !

I know what you're thinking

You're thinking "what about the pumpkins??"

And you're right. Pumpkins have been severely underrepresented during this harvest. It's really a shame. And who's gonna do something about it? You? Yeah probably.

Because I've got a game for you.

About a pumpkin.

He's a pumpkin who's just trying to get by, in a dog eat dog, chicken eat pumpkin kind of world. All he wants is to take over the world, and who's getting in his way? Yeah, you guessed it... (It's the chickens.)

Anyway give it a go, because I had fun making it and it's... not terrible at least.

Pseudo-Harvest | Deceive the eyes of The Big Brother

Try out our game in Ludum Dare 52 Pseudo-Harvest

2023-01-10 02-34-58.gif

Background and concept derived from actual historial period The Great Leaps Forward.

When governors put their will above science and nature, bureaucracy breeds deception

When BUMPER HARVEST is a compulsory mission

What do you do if you just cannot meet the strict produce quotas?

AND THE HARVEST SHALL COME!

(Dice Wheat Me) Management game with dices!

Hi everyone! Joining a game jam, what a fantastic way of starting the year, right?

This holiday break, I coerced my brother who has never made a game before, to join this game jam - and here's what he came up with. I did all the programming, and he did the game design (mechanics and balancing), setting up some of the UI, and setting up audio.

What do you think for his first game?
