Lullaby Farms

Hey awesome people 👋

I’ve had some awesome feedback on my game, but I don’t think many people have read the README before giving it a try.

If you have two minutes, could you read the README and give the game a try? Does my README make sense? It’s written in a “country”/“farmer” persona, and I want to know if it’s good or bad.

Please and thank you to anyone willing to give it a little feedback

Honest Feedback

Tired of overly positive comments? Might want to stop by my stream and submit your game for rating then, I'm trying to be as honest as possible in my feedback :smile: https://www.twitch.tv/grizeldi

Doki Doki Ninjin

We made a wholesome game with no enemies inspired by Super Mario Bros 2 and Super mario Bros 3.

Play as a bunny trying to collect golden carrots through 4 levels filled with friendly characters and healthy vegetables!

Celestial Wheatfields - One Last Vote !!

We need one last vote for being rated ! We did our best for this one and had a lot of fun doing it, got some issues tho but we still want to develop the game further, all your feedbacks are greatly appreciated !

https://youtu.be/qsjpWK4bYpI

WebGL still doesn't work, we can't find a way around this issue, we'll learn and make it happens for the LD53 !

Why do people not host their game on this site?

So, I've been playing some games here and must say I'm quite surprised at how many people go out of their way to share their game over a different platform. It's the same for HTML embedded and downloads. Lot's of people put the game on itch so you can download the files there or play it in the browser. And i've seen some sharing it on other servers, downloads from github, aws etc. I understand sharing additional links like that, but why do so many people use it as their main method of distributing their game?

It just seems weird not to use the features this side offers (Downloads and HTML embeds)

Or am i completely of the rails and play the minority of games that aren't hosted here? :joy:

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

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

Browser games not working

Hello, I've seen recently a lot of the browser based games submitted directly through ludum dare experience an error, and I just wanna help some people for their games, because I experienced the same issue but then resolved it very eaisly...

When exporting the game to a folder for browser, make sure there is a file called index.html

Then, you have to compress it into a zip file (this is where I made the mistake). I compressed the folder that contained the index.html (i.e. compressing a folder "Game_Name" containing index html). Instead, what should have been done is to first open the folder, then select everything inside that folder, then compress those files into a zip file.

This zip file should then work properly when uploaded... Hope this helps anyone and can make their games more reachable! 😁

More games

Hey! Have you got a game that needs more ratings and feedback? Post the link to your game here and i'll play it! I accept both HTML5 and downloadable games. I've already made a post like this, make sure you haven't posted the game in my previous post.

Try out our first LD entry featuring sick beats and a headbanging sunflower!

Breaking research from F.A.R.M. Labs Inc. has shown that plants grow 200% faster when listening to SICK BEATS compared to Beethoven!

The researchers have put up a test environment for avid techno lovers to try their skill at growing plants at super speed!

Harvest Survivor playthrough video

Experience the thrill of surviving against mad vegetables on an alien planet with "Harvest Survivor"! We have released a video playthrough of the game, that gives you a glimpse of the gameplay and atmosphere. But to truly understand the challenge and excitement, you have to play the game for yourself.

https://youtu.be/kQc7y9zJKaY

As an outworlder stranded on a foreign planet, your goal is to gather resources and survive by harvesting the planet's fields. However, the planet is inhabited by violent and aggressive plants that will stop at nothing to stop you from succeeding. To defend yourself and continue your quest for survival, you must strategize and use your resources wisely.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/harvest-survivor-1

You begin the game with four powerful weapons at your disposal:

  • a directional gun that fires in the direction you are moving,
  • a homing missile rocket launcher that targets the closest enemy,
  • a melee attack that always attacks left or right depending on the direction you are facing,
  • and a spell that fires magic around you to kill your enemies.

As you progress through the game, you'll have the opportunity to gain levels and choose from a random list of perks to further strengthen your abilities. Will you be able to fend off the mad vegetables and emerge victorious in "Harvest Survivor"? Download and play now to find out, or check out the video of our playthrough for a preview of the adventure that awaits you.

Any games I can play on mobile? :)
