Hi everyone !

For those who played our game California Jane (if you still didn't, : ★★ CHECK IT OUT HERE ★★) ...

We are continuing working on a post-jam version of California :D !!! It will include a lot of new levels and a mobile version, see for yourself :

See you soon, and stay tuned :)

I thought I’d write a little sort of behind the scenes article about our game to attract some attention and because these game jams are always, in my mind, interesting experiences worth sharing. I’m sure for many usual participants it’s nothing new, as we all go through similar processes, but I figured it’s fun to share and, it might be of interest at least for some first time participants.

About our game:

Crate Job Simulator focuses on the work day of a forklift robot operating in a futuristic warehouse. The player receives a growing number of crates over the 3 minutes a level lasts and has to ship them out according to demand. Obviously, as the theme suggests, the aim is for the player to get overwhelmed by the number of crates coming in and they will have to manage their stress and keep the warehouse organized in order to score the most.

The team:

6 people have worked on the game in total but most of it was done by programmers Quentin and Loïc with Nicolas doing the level design. All three of them worked together in Belgium at Quentin’s place.

I worked out of Paris on the graphics of the game but was only available on the evenings of Sunday and Monday.

Fabien joined the developers in Belgium on Monday evenin to gigve us that last little push we needed in programming and Vincent got in touch with us from Montreal and helped me with some polishing on the graphics.to

Most of the team was actually in the same room while Vincent or myself kept in touch via hangout. When I had questions or wanted to show what I was working on I would share my screen to the others and just leave the sharing on afterwards for a good part of the project.

Since most of the team was located in western europe, our time zone and the new deadline meant the we had to finish the game on Monday at midnight. The three hour offset was kind of unusual for us compared to previous editions of Ludum Dare.

It meant we didn’t have to lose too much sleep before the announcement of the theme and had a somewhat normal night before starting work on our entry. It also meant to me that, since I was working on Monday, I kind of felt that I had three hours less to work on the graphics in my already short available time.

The theme:

Running out of space. We primarily focused our thoughts on the concept of small spaces. After moving some ideas around, the idea of having to transport crates became the preferred one all around.

The mechanic of the game was relatively straightforward which allowed us to get everything in place in order to have a playable version of the game quite quickly. Sooner than usually compared to earlier LDs. This also gave us time to refine the gameplay even further in order to be as much on point as possible.

In that process, one of the decisions we finally took was to drop a part of the game where you were actually aboard a spaceship. You had to manage the ship and phases of organizing and offloading had to take in account the different locations you traveled to.

In the end we felt that it complicated the game too much. Not only for the players but even for us in terms of balancing and having a game that is immediately fun to play.

Gameplay:

At first we were going towards a physics based grabbing and dropping system but it quickly turned out to be buggy. Instead we decided to use a slightly less realistic but more robust snapping action like in everyone’s favourite cooking challenge.

Overcooked is an obvious reference. The clear top-down view, cameracentric controls and simple grab and drop mechanic were an ideal fit for a game like ours. The dash function became an obvious addition as well.

Graphics:

I didn’t have much time for the graphics (even for a game jam) so I turned towards MagicaVoxel for its fun interaction and quick (and cute) results. I took inspiration from other endearing robots like Wall-E or classic sci-fi builder Startopia’s Scuzzer, among other things, for their cartoonishly industrial look and cobbled together this sort of cute hovering robot.

This design direction actually meant to solve a whole bunch of animation challenges at once by removing any moving parts. Furthermore the two forklift spokes on the front are there to give a clear indication of which way is forward and what your task in the game is.

Textures were kept to a minimum for time’s and clarity’s sake and doing them in pixel art not only fit the voxels of the main character but meant that the players would be unconsciously decoding all of the details in their heads. Had I had more time, I would have liked to add some prettier particle effects around the player character as, right now, I don’t think it’s actually that clear that the robot is hovering above ground. Indeed we felt that having the character on tracks or wheels might induce the players to expect tank controls.

I also regret not having had time to add some more polished lighting to the levels. At least the current basic setup allows for a clear picture although somewhat lacking in dramatic contrast. Some red alert style atmosphere changes when the music speeds up would have been nice.

Level Design:

We were really happy to have a specialized level designer this time around. Nicolas spent most of his time on this topic and allowed us to feature five (FIVE !!) awesome levels in our submission. That’s a huge step up from our previous experiences and it definitely increased our overall production value.

Final stretch:

In the final stretch Fabien joined Quentin and the others in Belgium and set up our leaderboards. We feel like it’s always nice to have the possibility of leaving your mark and comparing your score to your friends’. It’s the kind of details that can add that extra value to the overall gameplay experience and encourage players to come back and give it another go.

Final thoughts:

We’ve taken part in a fare share of game jam’s over the past years, now, and every time is still an opportunity to learn a little more. Finding interesting ideas quickly and managing production on such a short term are some of the categories we’re making progress in. However, one thing I think we’re getting better at is trying to keep the best habits.

We try to get decent sleep, eat as well as we can and, more generally speaking, we try to take the time to reflect on where we’re heading. As for myself, I didn’t even neglect my family this time around and it was totally worth it. Good teamwork can also from good communication. If you treat this like a miniature version of a "real" production, you also get a much higher return in experience.

It’s always tempting to go all-in into the development process thinking it’s a sprint, not a marathon. You can always catch up on sleep and all the rest while it’s done, right? But like many longtime participants, I’m sure, we soon realized that by doing so we were actually missing the point.

All in all, our main takeaway is that we had a ton of fun. Now we’re having another ton of fun playing our game and showing it to our friends and family and that, to us, is the real prize.

For an overeview of our previous games you can head over to Quentin's website and check out our previous entries.

Hihi, my game is a simple and nonsense game. Web build with less than trhee minutes of gameplay, I promisse haha.

Put the link of yours game on game description page: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/heirs-kingdom

So because of so many requests, I couldn't just help but update the game with some screenshake:

Time to go over things that went good and bad in my VR-only entry, "Defragment VR". (There's still time to play, if you have VR!)

What Went Good

• My first VR entry! (Not counting LD 28, which had Oculus support that no longer works with current systems.) I had less problems with it than I expected, and was able to fairly seamlessly integrate all the VR elements I needed. I didn't know how to bind the player to a specific area, so it was still possible to walk through walls, but there was no advantage it would give you in the gameplay so I didn't mind. The fact that I got it working in the first place was a huge victory to me.
• Music, as usual. A mixture of Atari 2600 sounds and a little electric guitar. Vocaloid is still new to me so it very minimally uses it, but I think it was a nice touch; hopefully I'll be able to use it more in later entries.
• Voice-over tutorial! Usually coming up with a tutorial or instructions screen takes too much time and effort alongside the rest of game development, so I decided to try this to make the process quicker, and I feel like it worked just fine. Also, hooray for robot vocal effects!
• I'm starting to get much better with Unity's particle effects finally. Being able to make a good particle effect goes a long way in disguising the fact that I'm typically terrible with graphics otherwise.

What Went Bad

• The gameplay wasn't quite where I wanted it to be. Originally there were 7 different colors of cubes, and you could only tell the colors by picking them up. That felt chaotic and weird, and it became more worth it to stack the cubes without bothering to merge ones of the same color. When I reduced it to 3 and made the colors visible without holding the cubes, the opposite happened, making it only really worthwhile to merge them and not stack them separately. There's a middle ground somewhere, but I missed it.
• The particle field that ends the game is not very visible, and (as people have pointed out) it's practically at eye level making it even harder to work with. This was because I prioritized the amount of work space you have over the aesthetics of it. If I had set it higher, it would've been an extremely long game without the pressure it was supposed to have, and if it I had set it lower, there would be no room to actually play it. What I probably needed was a different endgame mechanic.
• I originally wanted dynamic audio, but was too focused on getting everything in VR to work right, so I didn't have time for it. Having the music change depending on what color cubes you were holding seems like it would have been a good idea.
• There was an ongoing collision issue with the cubes that I couldn't fully solve by the end of it. If you were holding one cube and it was touching another cube when you picked it up, it would consider the cubes to already be touching, and wouldn't trigger the merge effect. This lead to some frustrating moments for players where you can't seem to merge cubes together, or they would try to push through each other and launch instead. I'm pretty sure I know what caused the problem, but just didn't have time to fix it.
• I really, REALLY wanted to make it possible to play the game without VR, but there just wasn't time to look into it. Besides, I don't think the mechanics would have been possible to do in a FPS setting. Maybe it's best I didn't try.

Hola amigos! :penguin:

I think is time to write a post-mortem of our amazing penguin odyssey (finally I got to write odyssey correctly).

Firstly, thanks who voted our game!

What went good

We started to do some meetings days before of the ludum.

We decided according to our skills if we were going to do a 3d or 2d game and the tools. I made a powerpoint presentation to introduce the jam and roles

As you can see, we added game designer to the team because we realised some jams ago that we can avoid problems with arguing ideas if we added a game designer. The game designer decided what ideas would be chosen instead of everyone trying to put himself ideas. So everyone had to accept what game designer chose. So we assigned the roles even before we know any idea, and it has worked quite well :). I think this one was one of the best points. A united team is really important.

When the jam started we started a brainstorming using trello and we did draft painting prototyping and telling the most important ideas. We voted ideas in 2 ways: First we voted per person, then the selected ideas were voted again based on some criterias like: the most liked, the easiest to develop, the most succesfully commercially, the most fun, so on.

We did a average and selected this one:

• World becoming smalls (platforms shrinking)

I started to do the first prototyping with blocks in the game while people in graphics, sound and design were thinking next steps.

Then our game designer had the idea of the north pole shrinking and we added the penguins and everything :), that idea was great and fitted quite well with the mechanics, and the game designer made some of the ideas of the next levels too.

Everything later during the jam went smoothly. We got to rest well and send our game on sunday.

What went wrong

• Our new people got overwhelmed in some works, I don't know how to solve that, probably less quantity of roles to the new people.
• The coordination failed sometimes. But it was quite good in general, we cannot be 24 hours online and available xD.
• I got some bugs in programming. Lack of experience I guess.
• I decided to adapt to mobile after the jam but the levels are not designed for that and I don't know what is the best UI design for the movement in the penguin, maybe some of you can give me ideas.

Finally, I must say that almost everything was better than I expected. And we got more likes that I expected too.

You can play our game here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/penguin-odissey :penguin: :penguin:

So I need about 10 more ratings or so. Help is appreaciated! This time around I decided to make recordings of my playing LD games and upload them! so whoever rates my game, I'll gladly find time to record me play their games :D in addition to rating ^^ https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/the-game

I made this audio visualizer for the first time. Try it and give feedback. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/beater

Finally got rid of the bullet bug.. I hope... if anyone catches a bullet in the air, pls tell me :)

If you want to be added added to this list, comment below :D

There's about a week left before play+rate ends, and I'm looking forward to my results already. There's not one thing I would've done differently given a do-over. These are words you'll never hear me say again. There are countless things I would do differently in hindsight. I learned a lot. In particular I learned what finding a game breaking bug 6 minutes before hand in of a game jam feels like. This was a particularly fun first-time experience.

Tools Used

• Unity
• VS Code
• Inkscape
• Paint
• Bosca Ceoil
• SFXR
• Audacity

I'm going to use a cliché to structure the rest of this, because ~~laziness~~ I've never done one before.

The Good

I spent 30 hours working on the game breaking only for a full night's sleep and eating etc. It was tough but actually really enjoyable.

I've received super nice comments regarding the music and art style of the game, which I was not expecting at all. It's kind of blown me away really.

The game actually got made. For me personally the challenge of actually completing something and getting it out there in the time limit was a huge goal. It mostly worked. Success? I think so.

The Bad

Random.Range(). This guy has his uses yes, but I learned the hard way that random does not equal fun, It's not predictable, repeatable, measurable or even very random feeling.

I didn't play test the game much. It was always a case of 'does this feature work'? I didn't bottom out how the game reacted, how it was won or lost and I never found the right balance. I would definitely put a lot more time into this next time around.

Did I Win Yet?

I spent way too long on the art of the game. Everything took way longer than I anticipated. Towards the end it was easier to justify a new sprite or tweaking an effect than fixing the broken gameplay.

The Hacky

I got carried away writing goofy joke names and descriptions for the illnesses. I should not have bothered with this at all.

I built the patient movement system in the last hour or so. It's pretty rushed. It uses two way points and uses the below method to move towards them. When cure the patient calls LeaveHospital() which heads to waypoint[1] which is the CongregationPoint and if the patient is leaving and close to that point it sets a new destination to the SpawnPoint where the GameObject is destroyed. It works reasonably well. Who needs A* pathfinding amirite?

``` void MoveTowardsDestination() { if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, destination) < stopDist) { if (leavingHospital) { if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, waypoints[0].transform.position) < stopDist) { Destroy(patientObject.gameObject); return; }

        SetNewDestination(new Vector3(waypoints[0].transform.position.x + Random.Range(-2, 2),
                                waypoints[0].transform.position.y + Random.Range(-1, 1),
                                0f));
        return;
    }

    this.transform.SetPositionAndRotation(destination, Quaternion.identity);
    RemoveDestination();
    return;
}

Vector3 direction = destination - transform.position;
if (Vector3.Dot(direction, Vector3.up) > 0.0f)
{
    patientObject.SetSpriteUpwards();
}
else
{
    patientObject.SetNormalSprite();
}
patientObject.transform.Translate(Vector3.Normalize(direction) * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

} ```

public void LeaveHospital() { leavingHospital = true; SetNewDestination(new Vector3(waypoints[1].transform.position.x + Random.Range(-2, 2), waypoints[1].transform.position.y + Random.Range(-1, 1), 0f)); }

Next time through I'll try to record some work in progress, and definitely save different builds so I can talk more about the behind the scenes work.

Final Words (tl;dr)

Game jams are awesome. They're awesome because they're a great tool for self-assessment and growth. You get out so much more out than you put in and I've learned so much about game-making and myself (nause). People here are really supportive and that's really inspiring. Finally: play-test your games!

And play mine here!

I have loved LD42. Just what I needed. I have managed to make a post jam version which is closer to my original hopes. The feedback has also made this version much better than my jam entry. Still lots to do but I am on holiday now so any other elements will have to wait. Feedback much appreciated. This is just the beginning for ClapBang.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/clapbang

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/changing-spaces

Including no new mechanics, same bad sounds, but tons of optimizations and new features (if by tons of new features you mean settings and basic tutorial). Also, now houses use solar power because of balancing.

If you haven't played it yet, you can do so, by downloading the game here:

https://sita.itch.io/floodtown

or on the ldjam page:

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/floodtown

(includes original version for unbiased reviewing. Also, love how simple fixes and some new features took me entire 17 days)

Finally my LD41 post mortem is out!

First of all, a big shout-out to Phil Strahl for being an inspiration for competing in the jam and also for making this video. I wanted to make this for a long time but LD42 and lots of other things came ... but here it is.

Feedback is appreciated and feel free to subscribe for more game dev content. (like my LD42 game, "Vain"'s post mortem)

(The videos' quality will surely go up with practice! :smile: )

Is it just me or does the Jam seem way more competitive than the Compo? I'm not saying people act more competitively towards each other, it's just that there are 2x as many Jam entries as Compo entries and many of them are made by multiple people so the quality bar is definitely higher.

This was my first LD with a team and we really went all out making our game so I'm dying to know how we stack up with the other entries. Three weeks is a long time to wait!

NO hitchhikers guide references

I've decided that the best way for me to improve my game development skills is to document my takeaways from this whole experience.

For my game, Arctic Escape (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/arctic-escape), I came up with the idea while staring at the tiles on my ceiling and quickly scribbled down some concept art on a pad of paper.

Getting Started:

I tried to recruit some of my friends to make my art for me to no avail- so I started working on my game alone; meaning that I would end up with the overwhelming responsibility of being the game designer, the programmer, the artist, and also the "sound designer." I put sound designer in quotes because I actually was so overwhelmed with all the other aspects of the game I forgot to include any sound elements...

Schedule:

I spent Friday night coming up with the concept and mechanics for the game, Saturday into Sunday just programming the game, Monday I called out of work and created all the art for Arctic Escape in the morning and Monday evening was spent designing levels.

Things I Would Change:

Level Design - My biggest regret was doing all my level design in the final few hours of the jam. I was under a lot of pressure causing me to simply shit out some levels that I'm really not proud of. There are probably 2-3 levels that I'm actually proud of out of the 8 levels in my game.

Programming - I started off programming to make my game easily expandable/customizable in the future. Such features as varying sized levels besides my 16x16 standard level that made it into the final release. I also started working on the functionality for a level creator. As time dragged on, I realized I was wasting too much time on such expandability (like the level creator) and I was forced to scrap the project and start programming only for a single vision. Although this limited how customizable my game could be it finally allowed to buckle down and create my core game mechanics. I feel like in the future I shouldn't bog myself down with worrying about making my game infinitely expandable and customizable.

Animation - The animation is choppy and the transitions don't work correctly. If I were given more time I'm not even sure if I understand animations enough to have fixed it. I hope for my next jam I'm better at using Unity's animator.

Artwork - I dislike my style of pixelart. I hope I either adopt a new style or I try to exercise my Blender skills.

Game Ports - I really need to make my game in WebGL next time because people really don't like to download games on here.

I hope this was helpful to my future self or to some random person. If you're that random person and you want to see the game I talked about in this post, then here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/arctic-escape

I often have terribly ambitious ideas for Ludum Dare, and LD42 was no different - a game about writing assembly code for an actual virtual machine. But I think it went fairly good.

The game itself shipped fine - pushed it out the door just as submission hour started, with a fully functional set of tutorial/starting levels to unlock extended & custom modes, and minimal bugs within said campaign. The problem came when I realized how many op-codes had errors, and how many documented and mostly-finished features slipped past the radar, as is the tradition of making a game in 48 hours.

I spent most of the next week fixing semi-game-breaking bugs (if you consider "nonfunctional opcodes in a programming game" to be game-breaking, anyway) and waiting for my internet to come back after it got blown out by a storm. That wasn't fun. Still, by the next week, a lot more of Senbir was functional, and I was able to do some neat stuff.

Like a paint program.

As cool as it is to be able to write my own programs in it (and as amazing as it is to see other people sharing their own programs), the one area where Senbir is really lacking is in gamey elements, and it's something I do regret (even if there's genuinely NO WAY I could've feasibly done that in time for Ludum Dare) - sandboxes aren't for everyone, and sometimes it's hard to find inspiration.

One of the other areas where it really suffered is in the documentation - a lot of things that just made perfect sense in my head, as a C# programmer, threw actual Assembly vets for a major loop. The tutorials/starting levels could've used a lot of work, too.

This sorta comes back to a recurring theme I've noticed with my Ludum Dare entries: I can get most of the main mechanics implemented without a hitch, but the UX is always hampered by a lack of explanation. Started in LD32, I believe it was, with the Adventures of Cactusman - I watched the Button Masher Bros play it on livestream, and a lot of the game mechanics weren't immediately obvious to them. Happened again with Shift, then with CRTs are Ancient, right?, then The Fallen, and then finally with Dreadnot. Pretty much every game I make where the mechanics & controls aren't immediately obvious (Hazard Hills & Hugely Unpopular President Simulator both escape this effect by nature of being very simple to play) suffers from this problem.

That said, I'm still super happy with the end-result, and plan to keep working on expanding both the game itself, and the capabilities of the TC-06, be it with more op-codes, a simple IDE to aid in writing more advanced programs, or maybe even some kind of cross-compiler tool one day down the line that could create TC-06 assembly from C/C++ code. At some point, I also want to do a proper implementation of the TC-06 in C++ (probably in library form, so it's possible to upgrade the version in-game to support MUCH higher clock-speeds), as well as a standalone program that uses it.

Out of control

I’m Ahmed. The blind programmer. The creator of out of control. Out of control is a little game I made for Ludum Dare 42! This is the first time I’ve taken part in Ludum Dare and since I’ve been getting some really nice feedback from other developers I thought I’d write a post about it. Please chick it and give me your comments https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/out-of-control

DATS got frontpage and daily 2nd on newgrounds! nice!

currently i'm working on other games and personal projects and stuff but those will be disclosed on my twitter, i'm moving out in a couple of days though so things will probably be rocky from then on as im starting classes in university and whatnot

hopefully i wont die from burnout lol

also, heres an extra lil thing:

We are aiming for a hundred ratings and it's just ten more left! We will be very grateful and rate everyone's games in return!

It's our second time participating in Ludum Dare and we're very happy. The feedback we already got was very helpful and we plan to continue the development of our game.

GAME MATH and BALANCE!

For those interested, here's a quick rundown of what's happening math-wise in my game, "Poisoned Palace."

Game Difficulty

The game's difficulty is on a timer, and each level lasts 10% longer than the previous one. Level 1 only lasts about 20 seconds, Level 2 lasts about 22 seconds, Level 3 about 24 seconds, etc. With each level, lots of stats are increased, as illustrated in the infographic in this post, such as enemy health and damage, rate of poison rise, etc.

Player Power

Starting at power level 1, the player must traverse the obstacles in the palace, avoiding the rising poison when possible and destroying enemies that are in their way. Finding and collecting powerups increases the player's stats as illustrated in the infographic in this post, such as Max HP, attack damage, and more. The idea is to rush the player to explore and power up in order to maintain a balance with the game's constantly rising difficulty (and poison).

Math Infographic

Feedback

What do you think? Does the math make sense? Did I achieve a balanced difficulty system, or is the game way too hard? Please play, rate, and let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Running to 20 please

Good afternoon, fellow jammers! Or morning, as the case may be :wink:

I was just scrolling through some of your games just now and noticed that a lot of feedback goes un-hearted. Unliked? Unloved? Un-:heart:-ed?

By clicking the heart, you increase the reviewer's karma or coolness or whatever it's called these days. This is taken into account by the algorithm to place games with deserving authors higher on the Smart or Classic game lists. And we all agree that a developer should get what he/she deserves, right?

Of course, we should not go around promoting comments that have no constructive or critical value to the developer, such as these common examples:

Nice game! Here is ours if you'd like to check it out LINK good game Good for a first time jammer! Play ours as well. good game. much graphics. plz play.

These comments have absolutely zero value to the developer other than to boost their ego. Constructive comments are much better!

And guess what? You can get this recognition, too! Just leave helpful, detailed feedback for each game you play.

But I have a reason to leave short, unhelpful comments!
Yes, there are legitimate reasons for leaving short comments. But there are certainly ways to get around these hurdles!

• If English isn't your first language or you don't speak it at all, there's an app for that! Google Translate, while not always 100% clear and accurate, will allow you to translate your constructive comments to English.
• If you don't have enough time to play 20 games and leave long feedback for all of them, don't worry! There's a whole month for playing these games. Keep a list of the games you've played (you can find one on your profile page as well) and keep basic notes to remind you of your thoughts while you played. You can write them up later into a longer, more helpful comment.

I'm leaving a lot of reasons out, but you're all smart people here! I'm sure you can figure out how to get around the handicaps.

So what makes up a constructive comment? - Include the main reasons why you gave the rating that you did, and if you have time, do this for each category (graphics, audio, etc). - Talk about the weaknesses of a game as well as its strengths. How can we learn if we don't know what we did wrong? - Make sure to be encouraging no matter what, nobody likes to receive an angry 'your game sucks' comment!

Above all, be honest in your review. If you aren't honest, the developer gets the wrong impression of what he/she should change in the game. And we all want to help each other become better developers, right? That's what Ludum Dare is all about!

I'd like to take this moment to point out and EXTREMELY GOOD comment I saw recently (props to you, @koala-squad!):

NOTE: The beginning of the comment was removed as it was part of another discussion in the game's comment section. The part I've included is the actual review. The game is SpaceLab 42 and can be found here.

``` ...I really love the graphics! I love seeing a game that makes graphics the focus instead of gameplay, as it does tend to freshen up the competition! Now, I understand what people are saying about the assets used. However, I feel like we are making a rather large mountain out of a molehill here. The only reason this has become an issue is because you did not opt out of graphics, for the very reason that this would absolutely kill your game. Now, here’s my opinion. Firstly, you should have been up front about all of this, addressing it in the description rather than letting it devolve into a flame-war. Honesty is the best policy, especially with something where you may get panned if you remain secretive about it. Next, I believe you are fine with using the spaceship, as well as any materials for the game, because they aren’t the point. The main focus of the game is the art in the menus, not the game or its art. Putting some other people’s assets into minor pieces of the game shouldn’t take away from the major purpose of the game. Really, it should just kinda be shrugged off, because it isn’t the focus of the game.

Finally, the biggest issue with the assets: the background in the menu. I’ve got to be honest about this one: it’s going to hurt your score. There’s no denying that this is an issue. It’s a major piece of the graphics, and the best part of the game at that. I’d take away a full half-star from your graphics score, mostly because it is the visual crux of the menu.

Now, the gameplay. I’d say that I’m kinda just going to throw this out the window. It’s going to get a terrible score because it is a pretty terrible game. It’s got a basic premise, it’s almost impossible to lose, and it lacks mechanical interest. It is free from bugs, and it does work for what it is, so I will give you 2 stars, but overall I’d say that because this isn’t the purpose of this game, you really should just opt out of it so you can get a good rating at the end.

Finally, the audio. It’s really top notch stuff! However, I’d like to express some doubts about the originality of it, partic- ularly the ambience in the menu. I don’t doubt that the music is yours, nor do I doubt that the SFX are original, so that already is a major contribution. Forgive me and tell me if I’m wrong here, but I just can’t tell. The audio that you used work really well to bring home the mood though. The mood was absolutely amazing! Incredible work tuning the graphics and audio to fit the style and mood of the game!

Overall, great job on the graphics and mood, not too great job on the theme, and be honest about what you did or did not make as far as graphics go, and maybe make it all your own next time, even if it has to be terrible, simply to avoid this stuff.

Cheers! The Koala Squad

```

They tell us what they really thought about each category (point 1), and while critical (point 2) it isn't derogatory (point 3). This kind of comment is infinitely more helpful than a 'nice game play mine' comment.

So we can see that people leaving constructive comments are being good citizens of the LD community, and should be rightly promoted! So click that :heart:! You should also now have the tools to write your own constructive comments (though they don't have to be as long as the one above!).

NOTE: To all of you who played my 'game' and are still waiting on a rate-back from me: it's coming, as soon as tonight! I've finally gotten a chance to break out of my routine for some game time.

Cheers, all!

Thanks to all who review and rate my game. I Appreciate the feedback and I have decided to continue production and release multiple versions of Data-Runner.

Hi!

This LD we tried to do make a music game, and we ended up with Pianobots. You could say it's a music puzzle game.

We spent quite a lot of time at the beginning of the jam trying to figure out how we could make these compositions. What does each of the bots play in order for each piece to only sound *correct* in the right combination, and how can we make sure there are not too many possible combinations for the bots to play at the same time?

I ended up making some tools to help us design/compose each level, but overall really enjoyed working in this small game.

Since pieces resulted to be challenging even for us who made the game, I decided to not force players to beat each level in order to reach the next. In Pianobots, the whole game is accessible from the beginning and if you get stuck on a piece, you can always try another one.

Even if you don't know much about music, please give it a play!

Hi !

I am one of the developer of XORN : The fallen god, and in everyday life, I am a developer for a company called Holusion (in France). We build hologram projector for other companies that want a different type of display. So I wanted to make a version for our products.

https://youtu.be/MuNJ0LgwwR4

As you can see, it works very well (I added a joystick compatibility for a better user experience). It's the beginning of the future of the game, we wanted to add :

• Joystick compatibility (for the moment, it's a bit crapy implementation ^^)
• Toaster and American fridge compatibility (no it's a joke)
• Tablet version (and mobile maybe)
• More arena
• More weapon (hammer, bow, etc...)
• Mini boss at the end of waves (or each 5 waves, we nned to test)
• More enemies
• A story line
• Less bug
• Better interface
• And some of your ideas if you have good ones ;)

Thank you for all of your ratings, your feedbacks, and the sharing of your video game passion !

Some minor features showed in this gameplay video were added after game jam time.

It's a shame that I couldn't really play and rate others as much as I wanted to, because I had to deal with a lot of things personally, as well as lost a close friend. So, as a result you probably won't see it the final results. But that's okay! The most important thing for me was experience, and it was a blast!

The game is here if you want to play it.

The main premise is to collect cargo. You only have three slots, so you will need return unload it at the base very often. Also, every couple of seconds an enemy spawns, so you have to be careful. However, the more enemies on the screen, the more money you make. Have fun!
