This time, we will attempt to review 100 games live as we are in holidays for two weeks!

Wow, what a ride!

We are thrilled to share "Summoning Bumper", an action platformer starring two quirky birbs, :bird: Isa & Bumper :bird:

Not feeling the witches & demons angle of the theme, we focused in on a mechanics-first interpretation of "Summoning" and arrived at a jumpy, physics-y homage to the platformers of Newgrounds and Kongregate.

A huge thank you to the community for making our first Ludum Dare an absolute pleasure! Special thanks those of you to have already provided your feedback, it really makes our efforts feel worthwhile :heartbeat::open_hands:

That said, we are always looking for more :clipboard:feedback:clipboard: so why not give us a look!

Lots of love, Dan & the Devs

Play Exorcist Pianist in your browser!

Exorcist Pianist is a typing game with a musical twist, about beating your inner demons by playing the piano.

* Your mind is haunted by demons. They are SUMMONED by your subconsciousness. Fight them with music. * - Fight your inner demons by playing the piano. When a demon appears, play the sequence to destroy it. - You gradually become less sane (red bar below the piano), keep that bar low by destroying demons! - Survive long enough to beat the game! - Play with your midi controller! (desktop version only) - Jam when you win or lose, so you win either way!

Those were challenging 3 days. Congrats to everyone who participated, whether you made it to the finishing line or not!

Also. Ludum Dare is really cool! First time experiencing it. :)

We can sum up our torments: the game is DONE!

In the game “Demanager", presenting yourself as a dispatcher, you will come face to face with the consequences of people's desires and try not to go crazy, because in the season of mercury retrograde everything doesn't go as you would like..

I'd like to once again express my deep gratitude to our teammates!

It was a pleasure to work with @DurkaGames – I'm sure our paths will cross again! I hope everyone will like @nomersol art and @rekkorize sound design as well! Also important to note that I outplayed myself with all these game mechanics and I'm glad it works the way it needs to! Kudos to @kndratova for staying alive all this time!

Hey everyone, we worked very hard for the three days of LD, forgot how to sleep, almost gone nuts by the end of the third day and it was worth it! It's so nice to see how from one spark of an idea we assembled a whole project: all of us enjoy playing D&D and sometimes our campaigns went on for years and years, we thought of a game where you need to summon your friends for one more session of D&D and we wanted to bring some of relatable nostalgia to you!

(to all the best DMs out there! :D)

"What, deckbuilder? For a gamejam? Are you insane?!"

Yes we are! And moreover - it was our first card game, and even first jam entry of such calibre.

We overscoped a bit and some edges are rough, but I hope it's still enjoyable to play, to look at and to listen to.

Our entry: "Burn with me"

Wow, I had a great weekend!

It feels like I'm still recovering from sleep deprivation though :laughing: Congratulations to everyone who submitted a game, it's a real feat!

I'm happy with what I put together for the compo, and it feels like I managed to make something fairly complete for once.

I put together a timelapse of the development (excluding writing the code). It's weird seeing all those hours fly by :sweat_smile:

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/everything-has-a-meaning

Pretty happy with how my first ludum dare game came out. I'm still very much green when it comes to game development and i felt as confident as i ever had creating and implementing new code.

I like to mess with.. non-traditional inputs (my only other godot games being typing games) so for this jam I decided to mess with microphone input. The way I did it in my jam game leaves... a lot to be desired but i was impressed with the wealth of options godot has built in to analyze audio. I'm going to use what I learned to try an create a winamp style visualizer for godot!

Anyways. I hope everyone else's Jam went well and hopefully I'll have a chance to check out y'alls very cool games B)

Would you help push us over the top? :smile:

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/colormon

Thanks for all your comments on my game! I'll answer them in a bit. I just wanted to say that unfortunately the big problem with the game is that the puzzles are too easy is that because I spent all the time making the mechanics and when I was supposed to make the puzzles, I was too burned out. But I'll definitely make more puzzles post-compo.

Meanwhile, if you haven't played it, here it is, it's HTML5, so you can play in the browser: Clone Stacking

Music was one of the last things I did for this jam, on the final evening before submission day. I chose music and SFX last as it's the thing I have the most experience with, so I figured I could phone something in if need be. Also, I made a linear platformer, so having a sense of the level design in advance helped with scoring and pacing of the music. I didn't have as much time as I would normally like to compose, but one of the best parts of doing music for jams is how much you have to rely on intuition -- you don't really have any time to second guess yourself, you just gotta go for it and hope for the best, which is a somewhat freeing constraint!

Another factor is actually implementing the music in the game. Given the limited time, I didn't do a whole lot of scoring in the game, but it was a relatively involved FMOD process. I will say, ever since integrating FMOD into my LOVE2D workflow, a world of possibilities have introduced themselves when it comes to musical dynamism:

(and below is the music represented statically)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHTDFbXhU7s

Overall, though I would have loved to explore more sonic possibilities with the music, and perhaps have some sort of outro motif, I'm pretty happy with how things turned out and I'm proud of what I've accomplished. Game jams are so fun.

Game Page: Board to Death

It is a pay to win system. Be prepared to wait hours (ie 5+ hours) of your life watching a stream in order to be moved up a queue (or entered into a 'raffle') only to be continually ignored in favour of people willing to dump money. It is not worth the wait, you'll be forced to watch hours of absolute garbage just for a couple of minutes of feedback from someone who doesn't care about you, your time, or your game. The people watching in chat are also not there to see your game, they are in the same boat as you, just hoping that you get fed up and leave before they do so they don't have to stick around longer.

AVOID LUDUM DARE GAME STREAMERS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

I've submitted the game, called First Time Summoning!

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/first-time-summoning

I don't believe that my game is really good like any other games, but I just want to know what you guys think of it. For about four days, I've developed this game all by myself. The only one who assist me with making the game is a friend of mine for the demons in the final end. (Small spoiler)

I hope you guys can comment and tell me what you think of it. If the game is not working on Ludum Dare, you can go ahead and play in the itch.io instead. Thank you.

Obviously it's not feasible for everyone to make a webGL build of their game, but for me, at least, I am mostly likely to only play games that have a webGL version, and for a few reasons I would personally recommend building your game with the intention and plan to publish to webGL for a few reasons:

First: discoverability. Downloading an executable takes time and effort, and a lot of people, myself included, are going to find it way easier to click a page and get playing rather than downloading, unzipping, and then running an executable. Also...

Second: security. I had a friend who recently got hit with a pretty bad virus when someone spoofed a fellow game developer and sent him a virus disguised as a game they wanted "playtested". This kind of social engineering could happen to anyone.

My personal line in the sand is that, for the most part, I am only going to play and rate games with a WebGL version. My original version of this post was a bit overly snippy, I admit, but hopefully this one better explains.

EDIT: I re-wrote the post because it was more condescending in tone than I intended, also, uh... I have been informed that the meme I used is passive aggressive? I literally thought it was a pleading meme... I swear to god I am never using memes ever again...

Just a dumb little game we made for the jam, feel free to come check it out !

Anyone else go through multiple (or dozens of) iterations of their thumbnails too? :laughing:

It's always interesting to notice myself scrolling through everyone's games and trying to be observant of how my eye is caught by certain designs, while subconsciously passing over others. It's a really interesting meta-game to dissect!

Also a very important factor to marketing if you have aspirations for releasing paid games in the future. (I hope to some day!)

You can play the HTML build now on https://jorbits.itch.io/demonburger

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/demon-burger

Are you ready to summon the burger monsters to fight of a zombie invasion? To do so you need to carefully follow an ancient recipe book and perform a burger summoning.

I'm also looking for a few games to play later, so put them in the comments of this post!!

Douse your enemies, making them weak to lightning damage and resistant to fire damage.

You can summon Drizzle Dan and 9 other elemental creatures in Unstable Elementals.

Unstable Elementals is a monster-summoning extravaganza unlike any other. It’s a game where strategy meets mayhem, and where victory hinges on your ability to unleash controlled chaos. So, hold on tight to that summoning staff you stole from the Lich King and prepare for a cacophony of chaos and calamity!

Yes, we made a roguelike deck builder in 3 days! You play as a Hydra, and summon heads (i.e. play cards) to fight off enemy waves. You can move the heads for targeting and ability triggering, and also upgrade them with mutations in-between waves.

The most challenging part was coming up with a design that is both fun and fits the theme. We first tried an idea where you get a random head each turn, but scrapped it because it was much more firepower than you need, especially in the early game. Then we thought that you'd already have the heads in play, and your task is to just reposition them, which didn't quite fit the theme. In the end we found the golden middle - you draw cards from a deck that has finite amount of heads, and you can expend it during the game!

The design for the heads also saw a couple of iterations. Since the only head that deals damage (Headacher) can be easily lost if you are not careful enough, we wanted to give players a recovery tool. This is how we came up with the "stun attacker" idea. It can block and stun an enemy that is about to attack, and gives you a chance to strike with your beautiful yet fragile Headacher.

Combo, baby!

Also the Masterhead initially was the one that draws you cards, and you could theoretically win the wave after you lose it, but we scrapped the idea because it wasn't intuitive enough.

There were other struggles like crunching almost all the time and not having the playable prototype early enough, but we're happy we made it through and we're happy with the game we made!

Some ideas failed to be implemented (or just... failed), so there's a nagging urge to take the concept and make a better game.

Any feedback on if would be worth a better effort and what aspects are fun/needed?

This is the first jam for our team and it was a great experience! When we were brainstorming the ideas for the game there was a lot of talk about performing rituals.

Summoning is associated with demons, and demons—with freedom from societal norms, freedom of expression, freedom of choice (the good stuff, basically). Unfortunately that’s not something permissible in the eyes of society. And so we came up with an idea of not performing, but stopping a summoning ritual.

That’s why in The Summoning of IN-SI-LA we decided to tell a story of an Inquisitor tasked with purging heretics in a remote town. The heretics dared summon a demon who would grant them freedom and that is not something the Inquisition approves of.

Play it here!

That was a fun but very exhausting weekend! Made a demon-catching beat 'em up bonanza. There was 1 hour remaining and I had no menus, intro, or ending, so that is probably pretty apparent in the final outcome but at least they exist and work well enough!

p.s. loving playing peoples games so far, pretty good turnout overall

Found some objects or creatures lying on the ground? Tribute them as part of your summoning ritual!

And don't forget to check the guidebook and see how each item you tribute changes the outcome of the ritual! Learning how each item shapes the direction of the ritual will help you summon newer and newer items, which you can reuse as a tribute, until you manage to summon the final prize!

Html5 and downloadable versions are available: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/summoning-guidebook

It's only fair to expect that people who rate a lot of games deserve a quick way to play them. Most default engines support exports to any build. If your web version doesn't work after 72 hours I personally think it is in a spirit of a jam to upload it later as a critical bug fix.

And if your game has very good reasons to be dowloadable only, please, spent 30 minutes and make a fancy page with screenshots and gifs. You already invested 3 days, your game probably deserves some "marketing".

My compo entry for this LD is receiving very awesome feedbacks from everyone. Thanks a lots, it means the world to me! :two_hearts: :fire:

I know it's kinda hard, and its tryhard factor may not be to everyone's taste. If you still want to see how it looks after a bit of training, here's a video of a very respectable score: (:warning: spoiler beware at 1:30)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ucnPimDpVI

• It is important that a game has pauses but no idle time.
• It is also immensely important to give good haptic feedback. If you take damage let the player light up. It's like a dance between music, animation and colours. In combination, you understand the game much better.
• And this year I see again that placing text directly in the game is read directly and saves the player from having to read it again.
• I also don't see ludumdare as a chance to make my game famous, feedback is much more important to me. That way I could and can improve in the future.
• Don't get frustrated
• Don't compare yourself with others, compare yourself with yourself 2 years ago.
• Have fun!

This is just my subjective opinion and experience. I would love to read more tips from veterans and also newbies.

Feel free to take my game apart with feedback and constructive criticism

That’s why in The Summoning of IN-SI-LA we decided to tell a story of an Inquisitor tasked with purging heretics in a remote town. The heretics dared summon a demon who would grant them freedom and that is not something the Inquisition approves of.

Disorient foes with a concussive blast of wind. Skeletons are particularly vulnerable.

You can summon Whirlwind Wendy and 9 other elemental creatures in Unstable Elementals.

Unstable Elementals is a monster-summoning extravaganza unlike any other. It’s a game where strategy meets mayhem, and where victory hinges on your ability to unleash controlled chaos. So, hold on tight to that summoning staff you stole from the Lich King and prepare for a cacophony of chaos and calamity!

We would really appreciate getting more feedback and ratings on our game, so please give it a go.

As we released our game Speed Demons we were wondering if other jammers also offered a take on the genre. I would love to test them all as my partner in crime and I are big racing fans !

Forgot to mention on my previous post. But yeah, I'm summoning your HTML 5 WEB games. I'm going to try them out.

P.S. I still going to try that ones in a previous post comments! Also, feel free to play and rate my game (it's html5 web): https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/entity-summoner

Here's our contribution to the jam! A cake from beyond is a short point-and-click adventure about summoning Grandma. @nuanda79 and me are very proud because both coding and graphics were developed totally from scratch. We hope you like it and look forward that you play it, rate it and leave your feedback. Check it out!

This is the first jam for our team and it was a great experience! When we were brainstorming the ideas for the game there was a lot of talk about performing rituals.

I need to get the hell out of here!

Im about to go live over at https://www.twitch.tv/ategondev playing some games from the jam! Feel free to stop by and watch me play your game

When you go from this:

To THIS!😍

It's always so fun to see the evolution of the game during the jam haha

A mysterious journey in an ancient temple. Dive deep inside and see if you can summon the colossus :)

Play on Webbrowser HTML5 (WebGL), Windows or Mac : summon-the-colossus

I did submitted with 5 minutes left to compo, the game got some ratins, but hours later I was trying to embed the html5 game directly into LD but touching settings I touched the "Unfinished" category and lost the option to go back to compo, now my game is "Unfinished" and has no ratings option (there where some ratings already).

this is my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/arcane-arbor

Added web builds for both the original and Post Jam versions (including some quality of life changes.)

Decipher the ancient texts and experiment to find ways to summon beasts from other realms!

In my frantic haste to finish building our project for before the submission hour ended, I completely forgot that itch.io existed. So I just uploaded the build to my google drive and shared it. But now we have our itch.io page set up!!!

I'm very excited for and proud of our game. It was my first game jam ever, and my team member's first longform game jam (more than a day-long workshop). While we were down one person for the last two days of the jam, I think we did pretty well even though we had to scale down a lot of the ideas due to lack of manpower.

I really hope everyone enjoys our labor of love and I'm excited to hear everyone's feedback!!!

My group's first game jam done! It was a bit scary near the end with HTML issues but we got it finished and are pretty happy.

I've been wanting to enter ludum dare for quite some time now and I'm really happy with how mine and my team's game turned out. Thanks to everyone who has played and left some feedback.

If you want to play the game checkout the LD Page! :)

It's got raccoons, it's got a mafia boss, it's got the blood of your enemies, but more importantly it's got the power of raccoon friendship* (Note: Friendship is not free)

This is the first game jam I participate in where I actually come out of it with a playable game I can submit! We didn't get to implement everything we wanted (Or even 1/2th, if we're being honest!) but it was incredibly fun to work on, and I'm so proud of our team!

Play Trash Panda Mafia here

There's a regular and low-spec version of the game!

Thankfully, the don doesn't seem to mind a bit of ~~blood~~ ketchup on his trash

Having a great time with checking out peoples entries after a bit of rest and recovery, and thanks for those that took the time to play our Pied Piper homage!

We made a word game from scratch last weekend! Come by my stream at https://www.twitch.tv/vorceshard if you want to see fresh games in action made for Ludum Dare 55.

Thanks to Alex and Atmospherium for their help on Discord and for inviting me to do this.
