Hi,
I’m TheJackiMonster and this isn’t my first ludumdare… I hope we all get a great theme to develope a nice game!
I will use the programming language “Java”…
Tools:
This is my second Ludum Dare…
After 45 hours programming I finished the game. It became a little puzzle game with powerups and a 10 seconds time-limit. The levels aren’t that complex but the time-limit can make it hard. I hope you guys will give it a chance…

Please enjoy! 😀
I will stream every second of developing this time…
Sorry, but I will only speak german, but I think you will get another english streams… ^^

Have fun!
If this is not your first Ludum Dare and you know these stressing feelings you get in the last hours, you will understand what this title means. ^_^
This time I had finished after less than 36 hours, because I think I would have overturned it completely if I hadn’t.
After the first day I doubted so hard at my idea and the stuff I had done yet, that I just had to finish fast and upload the whole project. I just tested some games around here and I am happy to see other great games here with mine. So I wish everyone a happy Ludum Dare.
Enjoy the games! ^_^
PS: Sorry for no Web-Application ( Do you know Java-Applets..? )

Might have put way too much time into building an environment to provide atmosphere in Godot but it was fun! Hopefully I get my gameplay loop done tomorrow. It's intended to become a card game. ^-^
The whole upload process was stressful, I'd say because I didn't test upfront whether the web port from Godot would work or my shaders would be compatible with the different renderer. But hey I got a somewhat decent Solitaire working in less than two days (in which I learned how to play it). So this event was quite fun again!
I assume I will need to port all this grass towards multi-mesh instancing or performance will be horrible for this... well. Hopefully I'll have some time for that. ^^'
I really don't care whether you use AI for your own games. But I've got one review already where I'm like 99% certain it's just ChatGPT or similar given the game's page as context window to write a review and honestly I don't care at all what a bot thinks of images or text from my game.
If I made errors in my game or it's not fun to somebody, I want to know that and those bots are overly positive all the time. There's no value in their feedback and it really undermines the whole idea of the jam to get honest feedback.
I'd much rather have no comment at all than ChatGPT vomiting below my post.
...and if there are actually people who just want to try automating the whole jam to 100%, including ratings and feedback. You could also not participate at all. There would be zero difference. You learn nothing from that.
