Ludum Dare 54 September 29–October 2, 2023

Unsquished!

Finish line! Game is live, woud love for you guys to try the game!

Limited space is such a cool theme. Our first thoughts were immediately games where screen size is limited, like Tamagotchi games, and then we also had a few ideas on wordplay with the word "Space". We eventually settled on the idea of you, the player, fighting to keep what limited space you have, as the space around you shrinks. Added a couple of things here and there to spice up the gameplay further, and I really think we ended up with something fast paced, fun, and moderately challenging.

Please check it out and let us know what you think! Really proud of this one :smile:

Trainwreck is Finished!

Your goal is simple, use your crane to load up the train car with various cargo before the contract time runs out. You're more than up to the task, right?

This was our first game jam, and we definitely had a blast making this game!

Now it's finally time to get some sleep!

Well, I couldn't have even imagined participating in this, but the idea took hold of me. I don't have much time to dedicate to it, maybe just 4 hours a day at most. But that didn't stop me. I had to discard a lot, or rather optimize the idea, focusing on the most essential aspects. And I want to say that yes, I did it. In a minimal version, but I expressed the story I wanted to tell. That's great.

As usual, I don't have any sound effects or music. But adding them wasn't at the bottom of my priority list. I even found some wonderful tracks that capture the mood with which this idea has been living in my head. However, I still need to figure out how to work with sounds in Defold.

I also put aside a couple of mechanics that would add some variety to the gameplay. One idea was to make the tunnels collapse as the player progresses and new ones appear.

I hope that what I have done will leave a tiny trace in your heart.

Alien Abduction Adventures for All!

  aaaaaaa_logo.png

That was quite the scramble to get things completed at the end! I kept getting distracted by side-quests and I should've been focusing on the main-quest instead. :laughing:

Alien Abduction Adventures and Astral Anomalies Abound is a text-based procedural-ish thing where you get to fly a UFO through the galaxy, abducting other aliens as you try and make sense of all these damned space whales. It's my 19th consecutive Ludum Dare entry, on to number 20!

Update 2.0

We've released an update! Changed the voice and improved the sound!) Also updated the difficulty of the game!)

Just submitted our robot platformer H.O.R.S.T.!

After two long days of work and a day of other responsibilities we finally submitted our little platformer.

Our idea was to limit the skillslots for the character, so you have to choose carefully what skill to take where and where to drop them, so you can use them at the right time again.

You can play it here!

Thanks to my Gamejam partners @doriansnowball and @cybermuell for the fun weekend. We even got to (partially) work together in the same room and use a whiteboard!

We made it!

So another successfull submission just in time.

It is done!

Ooooff what a ride! We are a wreck after this lol

Good job everyone, you all did amazing! I personally had fun learning a new 2D program and that is why I love making jams because it puts me out of my comfort zone.

Now excuse me I must skedaddle, my butt is flat, I am hungry, my hair is messy ugghh. But before I go, here is the game we made with my hubby @togis

Play our game!

Sowscraper Released!

Prosperity For All!!

Huge thanks to @ciaranw and @teto for inviting @Naynay116 and I to their team for this Jam. It's my first ever Jam and we had so much fun making Sowscraper.

Mechanics

Keep your plants healthy and fulfil the tight quotas for your meritocratical overlords, will you be a loyal worker, or a inefficient miscreant.

Cats and comfy limited spaces

This is the first time jamming as a couple and it's been great! We love our little work and we hope you'll do too.

I made the game in Unreal for the first time and, like a noob, I didn't expect it wouldn't publish for HTML5 and the produced pc builds would be just above LD threshold for the upload... itch.io will do then.

If you want to enjoy some big MIAOWS and PURRS, go help Agent Cat now!! screen2.png

Try Hardcore Overload !!!

We managed to finish the game on time.

3 days was long, and too short at the same time.

Finally returned to LD

First join the LD50 then LD51, but I ended up forgetting to put LD in my calendar so wasn't able to particapate the last year, finally! this time I remembered! and I am so happy, always stressful and less sleep, but the teamwork and result is so worth it.

Cry your way out qwqqq

Don't limit your exploration even if you feel unsafe from the outer world.

Use your mouse to draw a string of tears, and let your mind slide and jump on that string.
