It's already the last day! Time flies! I already got 25 ratings, and that for me is a great number! Altough I beelieve the more the better, right? So here's the link! All ratings and feedback are appreciated and will be used to make the post jam version as good as possible!
You can play here (Windows, Web, MacOS): https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/beelieve-in-yourself
Here's a compilation of all the music feedback, as it was my first time making music
Last day, I really appreciate anyone playing my game. :smile:
I'm really happy with the game I made, and honestly, I want to make a full game of it.
It's a real-time pokemon-like game! There are many different creatures to battle and catch! (But you can only have 3 at max) And a gym to beat at the end! Can you do it?

Hey, I only need few last ratings to get to 20.
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/lumina-vitreus
Wanna help?
I will go live on my Twitch page to play and rate your games one last time. I will go live at 10pm CEST (4 hours 30 from now).
To submit your game to the queue, click HERE. Don't worry, you can add your game during the stream as well.
See ya there!
Only one day left before rating & playing ends! Going crazy! :v:
PLEASE RATE: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/keep-a-plant Keep a Plant
Thank Q!
Post-Jam changes: - Configurable controls - Short period of invincibility after taking damage - Ease into difficulty
Play it here: https://audreyc.itch.io/oworbit-v2
Thank you to everyone who played OwOrbit!
Some people have reported crashes on the Windows build of my game Space Station Express, so I've rebuilt it with Godot 3.2.1 instead of 3.2 in the hopes that it'll fix it. It doesn't change the way the game plays at all, but hopefully it's more stable.
I only need maybe 1-2 more ratings to place, so if you haven't done so (or you tried and it crashed :slight_frown:), try it here.

I totally goofed up and didn't have time to promote my game this time around.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Harvest Saga is so close to having enough ratings to qualify! It would mean a lot if you could give my humble little gardening game a spin.
I did just finish a post-jam with several UI improvements, bug fixes, a help page, a few more crops, re-balanced economy and some other stuff.
It should be fully supported on both mobile and desktop browsers. Try it out!
Please let me know what you think on my game's page!
Your feedback means a lot. :)
If you're in a similar boat, leave a link to your game in the comments and I'll play. If you leave feedback on my page I'll also try to play your game!
Hello everyone!
I'm very happy to announce an update for the game! I've worked hard for this and i'm very happy with the progress. Hope you can find something attractive and enjoyable here! My game dev journey started a year ago and i'm so very happy to be working on this right now, and seeing growth!
+Implementations+
Combo system
Dynamic enemy waves
Refined controls
Water replenishing system

It took me some time, but soundtrack i composed for your Ludum Dare entry is finally out!
You can listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/deoduckla/sets/the-drown
I've always been a big fan of working on horror games, so when an idea to make something dark and sinister arrived, i immediately jumped on it.
My main inspiration was soundtrack from The Thing (1982) directed by 80s horror master himself, John Carpenter. Since the game itself was based in the future, i've used thick, multi-saw synths, with heavy use of overdrive. Most of the sounds you here are produced by Vacuum Pro synth, which turned out to fit the game perfectly. Having something to work off, of i've added some filtered white-noise (to fill up the sonic space), ocean/rain samples (to add more organic and lonely feeling), and some synth bells (to add supernatural/more melodic element).
I've also tried to avoid any strong chords progressions, and make a use of extended chords, to obscure any strong harmonic movement that could pull you out of the immersion. Be sure to check our our entry here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/the-drown
If you're interested in learning how we progressed through the making of For Ducks' Sake, there's now a 2500 word post mortem up on my personal blog at: https://garystanton.co.uk/ludum-dare-46-in-the-bag/
I'd originally planned to post it here, but it kinda got a bit out of hand!
Remember, there's still one day left to check out the game and give us a rating. We're pushing 300 at the moment which is just... crazy! Thanks to everyone who's played and rated so far. We really appreciate the feedback and general good vibes.

Only one day left! I have had so much fun participating in my first Ludum Dare and I will definitely be participating in future jams as well! Additionally, some shameless self-plugging: If you would play and rate my game, it would be much appreciated! My goal is to get above 100 in the "humor" category! So thanks! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/irving-forrest-technologies-and-redacted
I noticed that there is many many many interesting projects which have been created especially for the 46th LudumDare session. I played and rated some of them and they are amazing. If you like puzzle games, you could appreciate mine. You have a few hours to test it. I wish you the best. We will see again in a few months for the 47th LudumDare. Bye ++
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/keep-your-faith-alive

Hey, Ørjan here. Programmer on Finterior Decorator!
Thank you so much to everyone who played and rated our game!!! If you don't know, Fitnerior decorator is a fish tank simulator. It lets you adopt new fish, keep them alive, and decorate your tank!
When you adopt a new fish, they will have a default name. This default name is a random name selected from a list that I've created which is currently populated by 9 different names. But I would like to add more names, and that's where you come in!
If you would like a name as a default name in our game, write a comment below containing the name. It can be your name, or any name that you would like! I will post an update here when I've added the names to the game! And of course, feel free to check out our game if you haven't already! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/finterior-decorator?fbclid=IwAR1_B5eGNhjMEecl7efAPT8R4Fe-PNjRu6Yjjbad40weYUeZsPyGb5hlY

Today is the last day of the rating phase~! :dizzy_face:
To everyone who took the time to play, rate and leave feedback for our game...

Thank you so much!!! :blush:
Your supportive comments and positive words are very special for us! :smile:

Are you excited to see the results? :upside_down:
So it has been some time since I uploaded the jam version of tower of BOOM and I have updated the game quite a bit taking user-feedback into consideration. The game has now been made more fast-paced and smooth to accommodate for any style of play. I will continue to add more to the game as well. This is one run-and-gun which will be updated for a while.
You can still play the jam version if you want to rate the game though. (The jam version is available for windows only though....)
You can refer the development log I placed in the itch page of the game for more. Spolier !!!!! : You can drop-kick grenades now :)

Today's the last day to review games... If you would take the time to review my game I will try my best to review yours! Only thing you need to do is to put a comment in the comment section :)
The last day of rating is coming up! I've been trying to review as many games as possible - particularly those in the 'danger' zone on the Games tab.
I was hoping I could reach 75 ratings on my entry, but it seems like a bit of a stretch now :(
I still appreciate anyone who can leave a rating though, and I value everyone's precious feedback.
It's not mine, but it's beautiful and should get more ratings. It looks like they have rated a lot, so I'm not sure why they don't have more.

Hello everyone,
As Ludum Dare comes soon to an end I would like to ask some critical Feedback on my first ever game and entry Gluttuny. I have mixed feeling how the game turned out and would like to ask for your thought however harsh it is so I can know what aspects of game design I should focus or learn onward. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/gluttony
Hello! I’m here to challenge you to this fight against a horde of tomatoes! I swear it’s beatable! hehehe
If you do beat them, let me know in the comments.
Tip: learn how to use all of the available abilities on other enemies (and some secret ones) before taking on this challenge.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Actually, you should save these guys, but whatever...
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/deaths-compass
That's why we tried different approach to top down shooter - we restricted movement and aim to only four directions, but you can move very fast through the level!
We also made the shooting itself a mechanic on it's own - it is not sufficient to just press the button, that's not how bows work!
To shoot effectively, you need to draw it right. Draw too little and the arrow would travel only short distance and do less damage. Hold the bow drawn for too long though and the archer loses his strength and concentration resulting in very poor aim, though the shot itself will be fast and powerful. Try to hit the sweetspot with both maximum force and maximum accuracy!

How about a stroll around the (atlantic) neighbourhood, past beautiful coral reefs and creepy underwater plants?
Weird twist included.
I will play and rate games in return, as to me this is common courtesy :3
The Steward now has a three-hit combo! The second and third hits are over a wider area, so to keep them balanced I gave them a soft combo window in which they can be triggered. On to the next update! :smile_cat: 
Now testing and rating games live on Twitch.

Hello, this was my first Ludum dare!!! It was so fun and AWSOME. All the games published were super awesome!😛Wish I get to play them all! Sadly LD46 is about to end😢. I am 11 and was super excited about this. Hopefully I can get more feedback. Play my game and give feedback at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/the-last-flower. Your feedback will come in use in improving the game and my coding skills!!! Also, I am making a full version of this game with all your feedback in mind. Thank you so much for your support !!😜😁😄 I am trying to get 💯 ratings on my game. Help me achieve my goal by sharing this game and by leaving a review/rating. One again thank you so much for your support! 😑😃🙂
Attention! We participate in feedback exchange program! Play our game and leave us your honest feedback, and I will do the same for you (been doing that the whole jam actually :))!

It's so nice to be surrounded be such a large group of kind and supportive people who make amazing games. I want to stay involved and see what you all make after this is all over!

Here is a sneak peak at one of the new enemy types you'll encounter in the post-jam version of my game. The currently unnamed 'Spiky Ball' creature telegraphs its attack direction to the player. Once it hears a sound it moves over to that location and sets a new target path, killing whatever creature is in its way. One or two of these can be quite easy to avoid, but things get a lot more complicated and fun when lots are on screen at once.
I'm excited to share more in the future and I can't wait to see what you all make, whether it be a post-jam version of your game or something entirely new!

I can not believe it. This was my first Ludum Dare and I have gotten 93.5 review! This was an amazing experience. All your feedback was super useful as I am 11 and am in need for constant feedback to improve my game and coding skills. Thank you for all your support! But it would be amazing if I got to a 100 💯 ratings. Help me achieve that goal by reviewing my game at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/the-last-flower. Also just to say, all the games I rated were super fun. No matter how cringe the graphics were (No offense😉) the games I played were super amazing and I had so much fun playing them.

Many people recomend games at the last day. So I decided to show you the most atmospheric game of LD 46 in my opinion:
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/father-dies-at-the-end
Be prepared, because this game is brutal, somewhat cruel and realistic. But the emotions are worth any second you invested in this game.
...
I hope the download link still works ...
...
In retrospect, we might have named the game better ...
I didn't have a lot of time during the last couple of weeks play and rate games, but I'm dedicating today to playing a bunch!
My game Guardian still needs some ratings if you want to play it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/guardian
The countdown has only 22 Hours 20 Minutes and 40 Seconds left!
ON AIR will self destruct after this. Maybe check it out before it is too late.

All this tension has caused a strange looping ripple in the space-time continuum.
Conveniently located right in my LD-entry page (of all the places!)
Clearly this is the last chance to visit it in order to restore the balance to the universe, or something terrible is bound to happen to us all! :skull:
Or then this might be just me finding a cool new filter in GIMP today I didn't know existed, and my selfish attempt to exploit it to gather attention to our submission.
You'll be the judge!
But damn, I must say. I've been having fun with these distortion-effects today.
Especially when applying them to people's faces!
Here's a YouTube-tutorial someone has made about the IWarp GIMP-plugin for anyone interested. :film_frames:

I forgot in my last post: I added a creative mode for everybody who wants to experience complete tree-growing freedom without any restrictions (apart from your CPU capacity :P)!
Remember to not vote for the post-jam version!
Thanks again to all of you who have tested my game, for your kind words and motivation! I had a great time this Ludum Dare!
Shoutout for these guys and their awesome game I happened to stumble upon today, I think it has way too less votes compared to how cool it is :)
In a nutshell, you’re helping a cute but clueless ghost getting to his goal safely, while helping him to avoid dangers lurking on the way.
Some even coming after him! :0
It’s a real fun puzzle game and keeps you challenged :D
Think lemmings just unique in it‘s own way :)

Disclaimer: I really don’t know these guys, simply was impressed by their game ;)
So close everyone! We have 88 reviews, and I'll be playing games like crazy trying to get the game seen. Hoping for 100! I'll be going through all of the comments on my game and playing there games. Let me know if your game has less than 20 ratings, I'll help out!
If you get to the end, take a screenshot and I'll put your name on the game's page. Only 1 player has finished it so far, so good luck!
Seriously, don't play it. We don't want you to play it, so you better not. We mean it. Don't even THINK about playing it. What are you doing? Get away from that link! No, stop it! Don't click it, don't click it, don't click it .... NOOOOOOOOOO!

Another game I'd like to shout out is Interstellar Connection by @rose and @celia14. This is everything I'd ever want in a short game experience -- a simple but enjoyable puzzle mechanic, a poignant narrative, and some chill background music to get you in the mood for it all. Highly recommended!

Hello everybody!
We're at the last hours of the play+rate games! That Ludum Dare was great! I hope it was great for you also! I'm interested to see what we'll have in the next Ludum Dare game jam!

by @bastilo @tekses @purrseus and @beebo-studios
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/on-air#/comment-534634
This is one of my favorites from the jam. You play as a janitor at studio, trying to keep shows going by stopping fires, catching animals, and dealing with ghosts. Super fun and hectic gameplay.
by @unpostiche @pandanym and @pietro-ferrantelli
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/heal-me-plz#/comment-530441
You play the role of a healer on a team of adventurers, trying to save them from their own stupidity ("seriously you're on like 2 health why would you...ugh"). Perfectly matches the universal feeling of being a healer in almost every game ever.

This one was pretty fun when I was just serving ice cream. And then it was really fun when I pulled out a machine gun to fight off demons. A truly hilarious experience considering I didn't read the description going into it :)
by @vilmantas and @vizitas
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/in-brothers-arms#/comment-533081
A really fun game where you carry your fellow injured soldier through machine gun fire, artillery, and mine fields. A really enjoyable experience that I spent way more time on than I expected.
Alright that's my list! There are obviously WAY more games I'd love to mention, but these stood out to me. Hopefully you enjoy them too!
Can you carry the olympic flame through the dangerous lands and keep it alive? Do you like jumping over water while keeping your torch try?
Bounce on octopi and even more in https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/olympus-rise-greek-it-alive
Yes its hard.
Yes its a bit buggy.
But its fun! Give my game a try if you havent, see if you can get past lvl 1! The GIF above show its possible :P
I would advise trying the downloadable if you are on a weaker PC/laptop the WEBGL build has given some people problems.
Also leave your game in the comments and I'll check it out!
Play it here - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/my-friend-phil

But we are 2 (or 4?) ratings away from getting a score. It's not great, and really needs a tutorial, but if a few of you great people could help a feller out I'd much appreciate it. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/sim-cell
As Ludum Dare voting is wrapping up we wanted to give thanks to the tools developers that have helped us along the way. Without these fine folks we wouldn't have gotten along nearly as far as we did with our game!
First a shout out to Daniel Kvarfordt Danik112 who develops Pyxel Edit! This pixel editor is extremely valuable for doing animations and tile sets. Honestly I’m more comfortable with Photoshop after many years using it, this jam I found myself going straight to Pyxel, skipping Photoshop more often than not. Get Pyxel Edit here! https://pyxeledit.com/get.php
For some of our animations, it was quicker to get attractive solutions using tools from CodeManuPro and DavitMasia! For some particle effects we using Pixel FX Designer. I’ve created so many great particles with this engine, and it’s great for exporting to pixel art and looping it. There are so many options to experiment with, It’s really fun to just tinker around with this tool making weird pixel effects. Get Pixel FX Designer here! https://codemanu.itch.io/particle-fx-designer
To save some more time, we used JuiceFX to do some idle, hit, and break animations. These kinds of animations can be tedious by hand, JuiceFX really makes them a snap! JuiceFX is also from creators CodeManuPro and DavitMasia, you can get it here! https://codemanu.itch.io/juicefx
We also used Photoshop and Illustrator for some of the larger graphics in our game. I did try to use TileSetter https://led.itch.io/tilesetter for our tile set, but I couldn't quite get it to work properly and to agree with GameMaker Studio. I'd also like to give Smear FX https://codemanu.itch.io/smear-fx a try, it was too close to the jam for me to pick up a new tool.
All these assets were brought into Game Maker Studio 2 to make Fleur Defense and we’re overjoyed with the game we could put together for the jam. A huge thanks to these tools developers who give back to the community and making Fleur Defense a reality!

The art direction for Wayward was pretty straight forward. It was knot tied up in extraneous "details" the way it can be sometimes...
Imagine a path: What it means to go straight, to turn, to ignore direction, to be lost.
When you know which way you want to go, the movements feel less forced - almost involuntary. But feeling lost is a totally manual process. There is no light to tell you where to go. It is an oscillation between manual and auto pilot, conscious and subconscious, trying to find the flow and submitting to it once it takes hold. Sometimes we don't know where this flow will take us but it's comforting to know we could take our hands off the wheel if we wanted to.

The feeling of being at home is a good thing. The feeling of being lost is also a good thing. Whichever way you choose to wander is fine, because moving forward is always progress.
Thank you all for an excellent Jam. Keep moving forward.

* There is only 16 hours left! If you haven't played my compo entry, "Defend the Loot!" why not give it a try? In the game you have to defend the loot chest as waves of enemies attack you. Before each wave you get a minute to build up your base. There are 10 levels, and getting to the end won't be easy! *
You can find the game here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/defend-the-loot

Thanks a bunch! :)
"Danger in the City" is all about driving fast to escape a terrible enemy who is ready to destroy every building in the city just to crush you.
From a technical perspective, I had a lot of fun making this game without any game engine and with tools I usually make websites with but not games! I used TypeScript with React and Three.js (through React Three Fiber).
I started by making the 3D asset of the car which is something I hadn't done in years. I love the Wings3D program for quick 3D designs, it's really easy to understand and use, even if it's less advanced than Blender.
Here you can see the first draft of the car based on a 2D drawing I've found somewhere on the internet. I really wanted to have that retrowave/outrun aesthetic so I went for the classic sport coupé car design.
I added a few simple colors to see what it could look like. You'll notice the wheels were missing at that point.
I ended up going for a nicer red color in the end. Wheels were added (woohoo) but not animated (sad face).
I loaded everything into a Three.js scene and implemented the level generation, a grid of block-shaped towers. I also added code to make those towers explode into blocks. I didn't really have time to do fancy designs for those so I used simple polygons. I spent way too much time tweaking the materials in the scene to look just right, that took sooooo long. Since I didn't have a game engine, I spent some time implementing the controls and the physics themselves. I had a few gameplay elements I wanted to add but I've had to cut them.
Finally, I added the title screen in the last minutes to seal the deal, as well as the win/lose screens and animations.

I still need a few ratings and I'd appreciate your feedback on the game.
I'm really happy with the camera (smooth car-chase camera goodness) and graphics, which I spent quite some time polishing (I should have kept more time for the gameplay haha). See you after the finish line. :v:
Here is my game. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/do-androids-dream-of-electric-sheep

Hi! I know the game jam happened a month ago, but I really wanted to write about working on the effects and look of my game since I learned a lot while I was doing it. Give it a read here: https://mikdionio.itch.io/anti-matter/devlog/145561/smoke-and-mirrors
