Hi! I'm dinoraz aka dracoraz!
This is my second time participating in a ludum dare, my first one being several years ago. I was finally able to make it again!
My software: Gamemaker Studio 1.x (Engine) Aseprite (Art) Famitracker/Audacity (Audio) Notepad (Planning and such)
GL;HF!
Title pretty much says it all. Just to double check: we're allowed to use public domain music as long as it's a composition made within the jam time frame?
For context, I made an 8-bit version of Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement earlier that I want to use for my submission. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows
This was my second Ludum Dare and third game jam I've ever completed!
My game was a compo submission: Rat Delivery Service
Given I have no professional work experience, I'm pretty pleased with this! 180th may not sound too impressive, but it's still top 40%! Top 100 in several other categories is cool too!
I wanted to focus on conveying a unique idea, since I felt the theme was relatively closed-in and would cause a lot of samey ideas. Plague rat delivery is pretty unique, so I think I was successful in this regard! I don't know when I'll get around to releasing an update or full version for this game, but I have been working on it! No promises though, especially since my studies resume soon.
In the meantime, enjoy this "lit :fire: undefined" rat that I accidentally created due to a loading issue while working on updates:
I saw people shouting out other games so I figured I'd do the same!
Special Delivery Jam game by @/ismael-rodriguez
This was a really good one! Very fun gameplay and cool visuals; I especially like the 2.5D box and how it affects the physics and gameplay. This submission got 8th overall which is super deserved (if not better), great job!
Legal_Transactions.bat Jam game by @/arcling, @/calamador, @/fgkeiji, and @/johjoh
Criminally underrated in my opinion, and quite possibly the most unique game I managed to play in this jam. Very interesting gameplay, with an extremely well executed visual aesthetic to boot. Memorable! I'd really recommend giving this one a try if you haven't already.
Boxbrawl Delivery Compo game by @/cruise-elroy
Super good NES/arcade style game! Despite its obvious inspirations, it manages to have gameplay that is unique enough to give it its own identity. All around a very complete and solid experience (top 50 in almost every category), and likely the game I sunk the most replay time into.
Last Stand Delivery Jam game by @/yx0884, @/sheng-mai, and @/yuriscat
Another super underrated gem. There's a lot here! Very charming graphics and dialogue, 8 well designed levels, and an intriguing twist to push-puzzles make this game great. Please give this one a try too!
Moonshot Jam game by @/koolruz
Very fun and satisfying take on a platformer! A little bit biased as a golf enjoyer though haha. The movement mechanics here are great. Quite the challenge too! This submission got 9th in fun, a testament to just how enjoyable it is!
Once again, good haul all around. Many fun games were made; so much great work from the community! Take care yall!
9th in mood and 57th overall is crazy! Honestly a lot better than I was expecting especially for such a spontaneous entry (I was completely unaware LD55 was commencing until almost half way through the first day, so only spent about 14 hours on the whole thing!)
That makes it my best LD entry to date! I'm chuffed ;u;
