Ludum Dare 51

1st Ludum Dare!

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to be doing my first Ludum Dare :)

It's coming together!

I'm finally done with the art! I'm making a platformer where the season changes every 10 seconds. The effects of each season can open up new paths or force you to go a different way.

Soul of Seasons - My First LD Game!

I'm super excited to say that I have successfully completed my first Ludum Dare compo! I didn't get much sleep, but it was definitely worth it to create the game I have now. In Soul of Seasons, you must wander the forest to gather pieces of a mysterious artifact. However, the season changes every ten seconds, which transforms the environment and alters which paths you can take.

Navigate the Changing Seasons

Hey everyone! I just uploaded a bug fix version of my game Soul of Seasons, so I'd love it if you came and tried it out! I don't have Mac or Windows, so I can only play web games, but I at least check out the games of everyone who comments on mine :smile:

When the Soul of Seasons is shattered during a storm, the forest is thrown into chaos as the seasons shift between every ten seconds. Play as a dryad named Ivy to find all four shards of the Soul and restore balance to the forest. Carefully observe the world around you–-the path forward may be hidden, waiting to be revealed when the next season arrives.

Looking for a cozy platformer to play?

Find your way through a forest where the season changes every 10 seconds! I can't play downloadable games because of my OS, but I play and rate all the web games of people who play and comment on my game :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/soul-of-seasons

I finally figured out how to make and upload a gif, so here you go~ sos.gif

Post-Jam Version for Soul of Seasons!

Thank you to everyone who has played my game so far! I've gotten a lot of really helpful feedback, some of which I've incorporated into a post-jam version. Now you can skip the current season once you've obtained its fragment, see where spring and autumn obstacles will be during other seasons, and travel back to the starting area to return the Soul of Seasons to its proper place!

I'm planning on developing Soul of Seasons into a full game, so if you've already played the jam version and want to play the improved version, you can do so here: https://shimmerscale.itch.io/soul-of-seasons. I'd love to have feedback on it! I'm also going to be making a devlog/YouTube video on how I made the game soon.

If you haven't played the jam version yet, you can do so here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/soul-of-seasons. Due to my OS, I can't play downloadable games, but if you have a web version of your game, I'd like to try it out! I take a look at the games of everyone who comments on mine :smile:

Ludum Dare 52

Hi everyone! I'm in :)

This is my second Ludum Dare (first one was 51) and I'm excited to give it another go! I'll be using Unity as my game engine, Aseprite for pixel art, and LMMS for audio.

All done!

This was a fun jam! I just finished adding instructions and pictures to my game page, so it's ready for ratings! If you play it, let me know if the instructions are confusing or if I need to add anything to them :)

Help me get to 20 ratings?

Hi everyone, I've been swamped with work and school up until now, so I haven't been able to rate many games and thus my game has less than 20 ratings. I'm on a Linux system, so I can't play Windows games, but I play/rate/comment on all the web games of the people who play/rate/comment on my game. So, if you think my game looks interesting, would you consider giving it a playthrough? It's a gardening puzzle game about using your limited resources to grow crops and earn enough coins to meet the quota :)

I'm in!

Ready for my 3rd Ludum Dare! I'll be using Unity, Aseprite, and LMMS.

Some progress

Didn't make in time for the compo this time, but I'm hoping to have something decent for the jam! I'm making a puzzle game where you deliver text messages using a network of cell towers.

Here's my game!

This is my game, Unread Messages! It's an isometric puzzle game where you make connections between cell towers to deliver texts. I'm planning on rating some games after work today, and I try to rate all the web games of people who rate mine :)

Looking for a short puzzle game?

Help texts get to their destinations by drawing connections between cell towers! I'll play/rate/comment on your game if you do the same for mine :) I'm on Linux and don't like downloading things, so web games only.
