I would like to introduce a selection of my personal favorite compo games. Please note that the order in which they are presented is based on various factors, including the complexity of the transposition.

Holding Out: ###

This game offers a delightful and humorous experience, with funny contrasts that add to the enjoyment. It's truly fun to play.

Banish Pit: ###

A highly enjoyable game that provides a great playing experience.

Ruchki: ###

With interesting gameplay mechanics, this game shows promise, though there is room for improvement in the art department.

Entrega: ###

Boasting a fantastic art style reminiscent of arcade games, this title has the potential to be even more enjoyable with a few adjustments for increased fun factor.

The game sets a great mood, but additional interactive elements would further enhance the experience.

Special Mention

This game is incredibly addictive and delivers a thoroughly enjoyable gameplay experience.

I wish you all good luck!

There once was a fellow named Mike,

Who held knowledge others would like.

He knew the results, oh, so well,

But kept them locked in his secret cell.

With a knowing grin upon his face,

He held the answers in their rightful place.

Curiosity sparked, but he stood strong,

For revealing the truth would be so wrong.

In whispers, they begged, "Oh, please, do share!"

But Mike remained elusive, without a care.

He held the key to the hidden insight,

Leaving everyone to ponder day and night.

Though frustrating, his silence was true,

For Mike knew the power of a mystery to brew.

With patience, they waited, hoping someday,

He'd reveal the results, and all would say, "Hooray!"

Maybe next year under 100? 😅

Maybe some one can tell me what I'm doing wrong. 😃

GAME

When blender didn't export the animations, ludumdare didn't load on chrome and unreal crashed... I was about to give up... But what kind of gamer would I be then?

Luckily because in the end I think it ended well.

Looking forward to your feedback!

This year I learned how important good feedback is, like flashing to confirm an action. A shot with recoil plus music immediately feels better. But you shouldn't overdo the recoil like I do xD...

• It is important that a game has pauses but no idle time.
• It is also immensely important to give good haptic feedback. If you take damage let the player light up. It's like a dance between music, animation and colours. In combination, you understand the game much better.
• And this year I see again that placing text directly in the game is read directly and saves the player from having to read it again.
• I also don't see ludumdare as a chance to make my game famous, feedback is much more important to me. That way I could and can improve in the future.
• Don't get frustrated
• Don't compare yourself with others, compare yourself with yourself 2 years ago.
• Have fun!

This is just my subjective opinion and experience. I would love to read more tips from veterans and also newbies.

Feel free to take my game apart with feedback and constructive criticism

look at that butt...

Seriously, it's not about the votes, just about the damn 25 xD I'm having a ball

I'm currently playing and evaluating a few compos that are in danger. I've noticed that one that I've already played is also included. I'm surprised because the game has the potential to become one of the best rated in the jam. The game just needs another rating. the game was developed by @cosmo8 Game

Frozen bums, exchanging ideas of gaming philosophies etc. Such a colourful mix.

I guess it is not the "case", but in "case"

Better than expected
