Hi guys and girls!

First i want to say, i love you! I love you all guys and girls! (Well, boys in pure heterosexual way (except for Mike, my feelings are slightly homo towards him ;-* )

I need to apologize for not rating any games. I was so happy with finishing my LD project Cottage

But, deep in my heart, i was not happy with result. It was just boring and not scary at all. I was really depressed about that from some reason. It was actually first time when i created something what i don't like at all...

But still, i trying to get some votes. (I have 6 now :D).

Sorry for my selfishness and begging even i did not played any game. But if you play my game, it helps me a lot. Even if i think my game is bad, i need to know why is bad. So, play and rate please.

So many things in the world are relative.
Time.
Station.
Size.
This is the one confirmed fact that I have seen in my studies into the world that we live in. So many things are relative, yet they bring order into the world unlike anything man can dream of.
Because of this order, though it may seem hopeless to fight against the chaos and the relativity, I have always observed that our stations in life are as they have always been.
Purposeful.
Perfect.
Right.
Never forget this.
-Dr. Artemus Blackcraft

Thanks Everyone and HAPPY LUDUM DARE!

It's just couple of days left until end of LD38, so I decided to write up my experience in this short postmortem.

From the first hours of LD we decided to create boardgame-ish tile based city builder (actually, the very first idea was about managing a city under siege, like Stalingrad or something, but war theme was not very admissible). First mockup

Most of sprites was ready after 24 hours so we had a time to play with game mechanics.

Originally we thought about people moving between buildings by themselves, but after some testing we let that idea go. Too much chaos is no good for ‘eurogame’. Chaos

On the second day of LD we was working on the code as hard as possible. But stupid bugs just didn’t wanted to disappear. Fortunately, most of them was eliminated by Artem, but couple are still there, hiding and waiting to crush everything down. Good ol' switch

At the end of the sunday we’ve got the prototype working. And it was very challenging. Like hell, everything burning! We needed to balance everything down. Oh, the last day of LD. That feeling of not making it on time. We still needed title screen, levels and, most important, game balance. At that moment the winning condition was tied with altars, generating victory points, but it was kind of dull and we decided to take a risk and changed everything. From now on the game goal was to occupy every tile. This goal combined with population decreasing mechanics created very challenging, but pleasing feel of struggle. It's like a missing piece of puzzle has appeared. After that change everything started to go by itself. Finally, after dozen of energy drinks (not good for your health, yo!) the game’s finished and I’m kind of proud with the result. (Of course there's a lot of stuff that could be fixed and improved.)

That's exactly what we needed! Thanks @pov!
Although if it keeps expanding at this rate, we're going to have a ridiculous amount of filters.

Hey guys, I am a thirteen year old game developer and this is my first game jam. I would really appreciate it if you played my game. Link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/survival-game

As we've mentioned in the past, we couldn't be any happier with the reception we've gotten, from players, youtubers, streamers and the like, for our game, Petty Puny Planet. But we at Whales and Games have been so busy that we haven't had time to properly give back.

However, with the introduction of games filtered by danger, we got pumped up. I spent a good chunk last night rating and commenting on games on that filter, and I'm pleased to see that, today, they've all passed the 20 ratings barrier!

Among the ones I've checked out so far:

• Ellipticats, a physics based collectathon with simple, yet deceivingly wonderful mechanics.

• Duckinator9000, a bathtub twinstick-but-not-really shooter about a rubber duck and laser eyes.

• Tiny Colonies, a minimalist simulation experiment where the people live, eat and work on their own.

• +1CashEmoticon (the game), a game which title I can't really pronounce. In game, it's a pseudo clicker that, plot twist, becomes a competitive scenario.

• Game of Worlds, a game where you recruit meat shields by day, and fight evil at night.

• NT-virus, a shooting game that starts slow until you start wondering if you're a worthy opponent of its end game challenges.

• Yume Dream, a gorgeous top-view adventure experiment with very different maps.

And it's only increasing. Now, here's the problem with the Danger filter. It's mostly showing those games that are about to get past the 20 ratings necessary, while there's a lot more around sitting around 10 that need notoriety. And there's even some people that keep asking for ratings when they're not giving some around. I personally avoided some endangered projects because of this.

I want to keep rating endangered games, but I'd also like to further help those that have been giving feedback to others as well. So, while we're going through more Danger filter, leave a comment here with your game on it if you've given 5 or more ratings, and we'll rate you back. Even if you're past the 20 mark, we'd like to further encourage those that are actively playing and rating more games (playing and rating our game would be cool too, but this is not about us, so it's not a requirement ;3)

Please keep rating and making the LD a more feedback friendly place! Let's help others leave... the Danger Zone.

Thank you!

Hey everyone. This was my first ludum dare and I was hoping for some feedback so I could improve for the next jam. But as it seems, my game is really low on votes and feedbacks. I have rated some games as much as I could, and little amount of votes is all I received. Please help me everyone _/_ Please rate my game - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/last-breath

guyzz do check out my gameplay video. And Please do play the game and give your valuable ratings and reviews.

Goblin Assault is a mix between Survival and Tower Defense. We still need lots of votes, so please check it out!

The game is about building Archer Towers and Barricades to kill and prevent goblins from reaching the mighty Crystal of Ididnthavetimetocreatealore. In order to do that, you can build and upgrade Towers - that deal tons of damage, but are fragile - or build and upgrade Barricades - which deal no damage, but have tons of HP.

There are 10 waves. Between each wave, you'll have about 38 seconds (Because it's LD38) to collect wood and stone - which are going to be used to build structures (You can only build during preparation time). You can also use your melee weapon to knock enemies and deal little damage to them. Speaking of which, your melee weapon is very smart and automatically changes to an axe, pickaxe or sword whenever you need it to.

{SPOILERS}: Some waves contain special enemies: a boss on waves 5 and 10, and a special enemy that buffs your melee weapon if killed at waves 3, 6 and 9. There are also 3 normal enemies; a Melee, an Archer and a Tank, which will appear on all the waves (Not necessarily all of the 3) {/SPOILERS}

The game might seem to be too hard at first - which was kind of the intention - but don't give up on it! You'll find it easier with each new attempt you do. The game is also not very long (ranging from 2 to ~15 minutes per run), so you don't lose much time when you get a game over.

For the controls, you'll find them and some more information on its itch.io page, where you will be downloading the game.

Howdy guys, ~~I do know that it's quite sad to ask for ratings, but I'm that desperate.~~ ~~I would greatly appreciate if you could play my game and rate it accordingly :3~~

Please drop your games in here so that I can rate them when you're also in need of votes!

I put the post just 50 minutes ago, with only 5 votes on my game. But with all of your help, I have reached 18 :'D. Thank you everyone, and I'd highly appreciate if someone could end that barrier of 2 remaining votes too :')

Here's the game :
