For this entry I reinterpreted my song Minsk 2118 (Nothing's Changed). Concept was that in this town/country nothing will ever change, only the technology. So recent events in Belarus made me reinterpret this work, here are the results! There are little neat references to the theme throughout the game.

Also - thank you Ludum Dare 47 - that was a crazy and truly surreal experience ⛰️⛰️! - pretty CRUNCHY too!

Also2 - it's my first Ludum so I would like to rate back some of your games - comment them under this post or something.

Played my game "Hyperloop hell" before and could not read the text? Want to know what was said?

I updated it and added a second HTML5 link with the updated font. I feel like this fixes a bug as inreadability ruins the game but if people feel otherwise they can still play the old version.

Hello everyone!

I thought i'd make a short topic to present my game here.

As an amateur music producer, one of my first idea when I looked at the theme was music loops. Then I thought about recording things and hop! I had my concept :O (= recording your actions then watch how it works and redo with your new knowledge, etc)

My biggest challenge was certainly not the mechanics itself but how to make it juicy and funny.

I have to admit I've certainly spent too much time on graphics and the last hours were an absolute rush. I think I made the levels in the last 2 hours so it's not perfectly balanced and I forgot to make levels of various time lengths... (but anyways the game can be finished, I did the entire run within 25 loops)

Here's a screen

And here's the links : (level 7 is currently bugged on WebGL version, you can still access the last level by escaping to menu and go to level selection)

entry : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/cursed-temple

HTML version : https://neragoth.itch.io/cursed-temple (wide screens 21:9 or so will work but show items placed outside of the 16:9 camera.. sry bout that)

Also, I couldn't make some features that popped in my mind too late, like for example, indicator of the position at the start of a new level, a global loop counter, an option to show a short ghost every x seconds to let the player have a clue on what he's doing, and some juicy and ambient graphical features or shaders...

In the end, I'm proud of what I made in such a short period of time, and I had a lot of fun doing it!

Many Thanks to all the testers and I hope you will enjoy the experience! (And don't hesitate to count and share how many loops you had to record to end levels 1 to 8 :) )

Cursed Deck is a Slay the Spire esque game where your goal is to actually ban all of your cards to win and escape the endless loop of drawing cards. You will encounter monsters which... when killed will grant you a prize. Sometimes even the most important one - the option to ban cards from you Deck, Hand and Discard pile.

You have to play smart and keep your Attack cards in your hand at the end of your turn - if possible, because the Ban card will always focus on your Deck and Discard pile first.

Here are two small gifs of the gameplay.

If you still haven't played Cycle Breakdown, you should definitely do it right now! :DDD

Check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/cycle-breakdown

This time we tried something different

Multiplayer games seem to be a bad fit for game jams. Online multiplayer requires more than one person to be playing at the same time and couch coop requires you to have a second player around. In both cases you will miss out on many players because of these limitations.

But what about asynchronous multiplayer? Instead of having two or more players play at the same time, build a singleplayer game that is impacted by the actions of previous players. This is what we did. While our game is played by only one player at a time, the map is persistent and is passed from one player to another.

Networking is awful

Another big downside of multiplayer in any form is the additional workload. Apart from the game itself you have to develop a server that can handle the game's requests and manage the game state. We had looked at different solutions for this in advance but we still spent quite some time getting everything to work. We hosted the server ourselves and while this gives you great freedom, rapid development iterations and is essentially free it also adds even more work. For anyone else planning on going multiplayer I would recommend renting a cheap server space and domain somewhere for little money. It it definitely worth it, not having to set everything up yourself (CORS, SSL, etc.) while also not having to run a computer 24/7 for your game to work.

Nobody finishes the game

And finally a mistake we made in designing our game. In To Hot too Handle you have to build up production to assemble a rocket and to escape from earth. The resources on earth, however, are limited for all players. When you start your round you will find the ruins of the previous player's civilization and you only have the resources that the previous player left behind.

The problem is, for this loop to work players have to finish the game. Only when a player launches his rocket is the data sent to the server and prepared for the next player. But at this point we have received 8 ratings but not a single server update. This is very unfortunate as the game's core message is about preserving the planet for future generations/players. We want you to finish the game, see your impact on the planet and think about your decisions.

For future games of this type I would suggest a system where updates are sent more frequently. Of course this requires a game idea that supports it.

Check out the game

First thing, I want to thank everyone who played my game and who left feedbacks, they are always appreciated!

It's really cool for me to read new names in the highscores (a little less fun to see mine going down xD). I'm very impressed with the scores you are reaching, as the difficulty of the game increases really fast!

So I want to congratulate the players in the screen (if you are reading this post, write in the comments) and invite others to try the game, leave feedbacks, and if you can, can you hit 1000 points?

One of our friends has found a bug in a game. Invisible wall made the game impossible to finish. It is now fixed, so the game is finally playable. Thank you, Artyom! The placement of the bug is shown on a picture below.

- A score of 400 was combining the 400/500 score title. This is now corrected - Previously a score of 1000 was completely impossible due to the "Seconds to door" timer continuing to count during the endgame. Max score is now completely achievable! - Some props were spawning inside chairs. This has been corrected. - NPC chatter continued to play in the end screen. This was not intended behaviour and has been fixed - A few object UVs were very messy and the correct Albedo/Metallic settings weren't set, so we had shiny bags and matte bottles. These have all been cleaned up and look much better now

It might be a bit rough around the edges but I managed to finish this year's entry as well.

In the distant future there’s a machine that allows you to revive your memories. But sometimes people get stuck in them. It’s not easy to get out, and if you aren’t free in 72 hours then your brain dies.

Hello ! I took an hour today to fix few bugs. So now, this is the final version of the game : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/autoloop Don't hesitate to play our game :D

Here is the patchnote : - The runner won't be stuck in front of a wall anymore - The UI is no longer affected by the render - You can now close the game with "Esc" - The runner has the right material in the back

It's the day after the night before and I still can't quite believe we pull this one off. We managed to get something coherent and game shaped out the other end despite picking a tech stack that was new to almost all of us in a language that all but one of us never regularly used having not really worked together on anything like this before.

We started from scratch with basically just a node application that had PixiJS creating a blank WebGL context for us and almost nothing else other than a build/deploy system to work with.

By the end of it we had built:

• Custom track rendering system
• Physics for tail sliding, crashing cars
• Particle system for ridiculously over the top exhaust smoke and explosions
• Controller input system that handled 4 different types of inputs on both desktop and mobile browsers
• 3 tracks including backgrounds
• Lots of buttons, widgets and menu backgrounds including a custom 7-segment LCD timer effect.
• 2 music loops and a few sound effects
• A high-score submission and tracking system
• All the glue to hold it together
• A limited track editor. (There's an unmerged branch that made custom tracks playable too, but it wasn't slick enough to enable yet)

All of which largely just worked when tested on a pretty wide range of browsers and hardware.

And somehow we managed to ramp up quickly, prioritise and then divide that lot out. Better yet we merged/integrated almost everything when it landed with surprisingly little pain right up to and including the final commit that added the background for track 2. (That one got merged a full 8 seconds before the deadline!)

If we had more time I'd have liked to do a few more things:

• Make the AI have an easy mode rather than consistently drive perfect lap times
• Make user contributed tracks a thing proper thing
• Make some random drops to mix it up a little, or find something else to add into a crazy mode
• Add some more multiplayer options, perhaps racing a ghost car?
• Experiment with ways to show the results data better

I learned a bunch along the way, but perhaps one of the big takeaways was just how well the CI/CD flow worked out for us to all be in the same place with development.

It was fun (and I think the others agree?), but overall I'm just dead pleased with the way the whole thing worked out from art style to code integration and everything in between.

If you've not yet tried it out please do take a look at our finished entry. Thank you very much to everyone on the team for working so hard over the weekend and agreeing to give this a go in the first place.

Come on everyone, publish your games to the web.

Personally, I will not play games that only provide binary downloads.

1. Most games don't publish for my OS (Linux), which is fine, I guess most of you are on Windows
2. Binaries are kinda untrustworthy. I've seen several games that produce (probably false-positive) anti virus warnings on Windows systems.
3. Most games do not publish sources, at least not directly in the ldjam page.

I will play native binaries iff the web version or the screenshots really hooked me and the native version promises some enhancements (usually better performance or controls).

Publishing for the web is pretty easy in probably all commonly used game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, LibGDX, ...).

For Unity you might need to disable compression in the web player settings before exporting (there are known bugs around it), but other than that it's just:

1. Install web publishing support, if not already (in the Hub: "Add Modules" on the installation)
2. Go to build settings
3. Select WebGL
4. Click Switch Platform
5. Click Build, Select a Folder
6. done.

It takes a bit longer than a native export, but it should generally work. If you are using UnityEditor classes (Handles and Gizmozs probably), you need to wrap them in #if UNITY_EDITOR #endif blocks or move the code to separate classes in the Assets/Editor folder, but the export errors are fairly clear on that.

"But where can I upload the export then?" you might ask.

I wrote a post about that for LD 38: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/where-is-mommy/submit-for-all-the-platforms

We at Banana4Life host our code in Github, so its natural to host the web export on corresponding Github Pages in the same repository as the source. Recently Github changed it, so Pages are not enabled automatically, when you push the "gh-pages" branch. You can now use any branch, but you have to enable Pages in the repository settings by selecting a branch and root directory.

looped is a simple shooter were you are stuck in a loop(Circle) and you have to defend it from enemies by shooting bullets at them by POINTING A MOUSE at them.Be careful,they might shoot you.You can move around to avoid enemy bullet by using THE ARROW KEYS.If they come in contact with the loop it will shrink.ENJOY,If you liked it please leave a feedback.

The game can be played in the browser(HTML5) or as a downloadable version for Windows, MacOS, Linux

!! I DON'T KNOW IF THE MAC AND LINUX VERSIONS WORK. IF THEY DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW !!

Time got the better of me, I didn't settle on an idea until just before the end of the first day, and figuring out how to program it used up most of my time on the second day, which left me nowhere near enough time to do everything else...

So I might have failed for now, but I think its probably for the better anyway, now I can finish it without the pressure of a deadline, which I hopefully will be doing sometime this week if everything goes to plan.

If you are at all interested in seeing whatever I end up with, you can follow me on itch, but for now here is a screenshot of what I have so far: (yes it's very minimalist, that's why it needs extra work to make it better)

Congrats to everyone that did make a game, I will still try to play a few of them even though I can't rate them :wink:

In the meantime, if you could do the same for mine, I'd be very appreciative! :D

You're stuck at the centre of a massive roundabout and need to get out!

What a jam! We definitely bit off a bit more than we could chew for this one although I am still happy with the result and learned a lot. The final result is a groundhog-day/stanley parable/witness crossover with a few mysteries/puzzles. If you have not played Seeker yet, you can play it here. This post contains some minor spoilers.

The initial goal was to create a game where the level appears very simple at first but the player is set back to the start immediately after finishing only to realize that they learned just enough to find the first secret. For the final game I am pretty happy with how this turned out where there is a blue tinted grass that means a block is a button or trigger of some sort. The first time you play the level it is almost impossible to avoid stepping on the trigger to reveal the first door while moving to the right. After this the player may look to the left and realize they could have gone left all along to find the same trigger mechanism that opens a new part of the map. There are several other mechanics ranging from the common platformer features (breakable blocks) to custom controls (mouse movement/clicking affecting various things) to things that seem like aesthetics becoming key mechanics.

These first few levels were all made on paper and planned from the beginning but it took almost 48 hours of the jam to get to the point where the engine was polished enough and had enough mechanics to start adding new puzzles and the last 3 or 4 endings were all added in the last hour so it got a bit hacky at that point! So far for every game jam, I have made the engine from scratch in javascript which has led to a lot of unique mechanics but this is the first jam where I felt that the game would have been much easier in game maker or unity. It ended up being a lot of work to make a proper platforming engine from scratch and we did not end up getting to do the custom shaders and fancy effects that we initially envisioned.

After finishing the first 3 carefully made guided endings, the player now has enough knowledge to find 4 more challenging endings with a bit of exploring. There are a total of 10 puzzles with 12 endings although the lines between the puzzles start to blur at the end. For a game-jam this is definitely a huge design challenge and balancing is incredibly difficult since we are already spoiled on the secrets which are important to gameplay. I think it ended up a bit on the easy side for the first few endings in order to cater more to the game-jam audience and accessibility with the last 2 being a lot harder and the middle feeling well balanced. Overall I am really happy with how this turned out and I think while it isn't very extendable in it's current form, it proves that the concept is workable and I really want to make another game like this in the future.

Here are a few screeenshots, although since the entire point of the game is that the mechanics are not obvious until you play, it is hard to tell what is going on in a still screenshot:
