I'm thinking of bringing the game to a small web arcade to html5 portals, so any feedback would be nice!

P.S. And ratings too =)

Don't forget the " Danger" filter!

The 馃洘 Danger filter is a filter available on the games list. It shows all the games that are close to receiving enough ratings but not quite there. At this point in the jam it is a great tool as we can get a few more games enough ratings in the last few days.

You can find it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/games/danger/all

Did you know that The Night Witches were real?

It's an actual all-female military aviators regiment from WW2!

They flew on super lightweight plains, so light that the Nazi planes couldn't hear them coming.

All the enemy planes could hear was a wooshing sound, like a witch on a broom, and that's why they gave them the name Nachthexen.

What's more amazing? They gave them the name without knowing they were female!

Want to try it out? Come play and if you like, give us a rating.

Post-Jam version of my game?

I've been thinking about what I should add to my game if I were to make a post jam version, and I wanted to know what you guys would like to see first. Of course I would start with the stuff I didn't have time to add, like more enemy types and weapons, but what would YOU want to have added?

And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, please go try my game first and let me know what things you would like added/changed! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/porch-pirate-panic

A Reminder To Everyone

We have about 3 days left to rate games. Many games are still below 20 ratings but some are extremely close. Don't forget to check out games under the Danger filter to help people get the final ratings to get their score.

Is it not more difficult to get votes in this LD53?

I don't know if it's my impression but in this edition I get the feeling that it costs me a lot more to get votes. I always like to be a little over 30 but in this edition it is very difficult for me!

Updates

Added a radar to find the truck. Improved the controls including the keyboard controls (still more refinement coming). Added ability for truck to drop crates to hinder player and speed up after a sucessful monkey attack. Menu fixes.radar.png

The time is ending

Game voting time is running out and I still need a few votes to reach 20.

So please, if you can, check out my entry for this jam and challenge yourself by feeding plants in space! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/space-plant

If you also need votes, leave your game link here, I'll be happy to play and leave my feedback!

Ratings before the end?

I want to rate a final big batch of games before the end of the ratings. If anyone is in need of ratings (so if you don't already have a lot of them, especially if you're still below 20), leave your game in the comments. Just like last time I did this, I'll play every game posted. I'll be starting in the morning since it's quite late for me right now.

My game is Careless Couriers if you feel so inclined to try it, but no pressure---we already have plenty of ratings.

I think it is sad - but I am of course wrong

  • There is in the jam 2284 games. (That is pretty good)
  • There is 1450 games that got 20 or more ratings.
  • So there is 834 games that still needs some ratings to get to the magical 20. (71 is Extra games that do not need ratings, and 33 is set as unfinished. Plus there is a few games that don't want any ratings).
  • The 20 most rated games got a total of 3,086.631 ratings. This is enough ratings for 154.33155 games.
  • There is a lot of games with a lot developers, so there is a lot of people to give a lot of ratings.
  • There is in general a lot people doing very little.

So as I see it, it should not be difficult to make every one to get 20 ratings, but as always it seem to be a big issue.

I believe we can do better, and it should not be necessary with panic mode in the last hours of the jam.
