LD27 will be my first ludum dare. I’ve spectated the competition multiple times before but due to school/work I’ve never had the time to actually participate. I’m excited and a bit terrified.
Tools:
The game I’m working on now is almost done, 10 months after I started. I estimated it would take about 5. So the goal is to finish this game in 24 hours!
Good luck to everyone involved!
AntiVirus has had a pretty fantastic start.
Play online here: http://www.kevlanche.com/ld27
Controls:
The goal of the game is to restore the “program”, which is a cyan line. Do this by pushing blocks around.
As the game gets harder you control more and more dots and other danger elements will be introduced, such as spikes, antivirus-eating viruses etc. There is definitely potential to make the game challenging. Also, leaning back after you “programmed” a level and watching it solve itself is quite satisfying. Super happy with the game so far!

So the first day of my first Ludum Dare is over. I LOVE IT!
AntiVirus (working title) is moving along nicely. You can try it here: http://kevlanche.com/ld27/
The goal tomorrow is to add more levels (I’m thinking 20 for the full game), fix some small bugs and add music. It should be possible to finish in time!

I participated in my first Ludum Dare back in august (LD27) and it was awesome. I was very pleased with the result and my game got placed insanely high (#47 / 2213 overall) so I felt I had to take the opportunity and turn it into a full game! As of today; AntiVirus has launched!
AntiVirus is best summarized as a difficult block-pushing based sokoban-ish puzzle game with a computer/hacker theme. If you like having to think when you play games then this might be the game for you!
Interested? Try out the free version here:
And if you really liked it and want to by me a cup of coffe, get the full version here:
Any feedback on the game, both positive and negative is very welcome 
I had a hard time coming up with an idea for this theme, but I’m quite happy with the way the game is shaping up.
You are a miner trying to get as far as possible beneath the surface to uncover the treasures that rest there. It’s a platformer with some puzzle elements.
Currently only one level, but feel free to try it in your browser here: http://kevlanche.com/ld29/. Should work fine in Chrome. Firefox seems to struggle, but I’m working on it!
The first day of my second LD48 is done! I am really happy with how the game turned out!
9 levels are donel. Try it here: http://kevlanche.com/ld29/. Google Chrome (and Safari?) only I’m afraid.
If you get stuck you can skip levels with the +/- keys.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
This is my third Ludum Dare (fourth if you count a “mini-LD”), but it is my first time entering the Jam instead of compo. I quite liked the more relaxed format.
Together with some old classmates I ended up doing a puzzle game where you fight ghosts using mirrors. Really happy with the result. Definitely the prettiest game I have made, much thanks to the awesome box2dlights plugin.
