Gameplay is starting to form :))

End of day 2. I am hopeful.

I was running the game really fast for debug purposes. Looks very cursed as a result.

My games shows the summary of the run. With pictures taken during the run. So excited for people to try it :))

It's also in 7/4, may the meter bless my game with good luck as it did with Balatro.

Explorem Ipsum: Catacombs of Time by @notexplosive

This is a Sokoban (box pushing, e.g., Baba Is You) style of game that gives you great tools and freedom to solve quite challenging puzzles. The game does let you figure some stuff out for yourself which I think is really fun but if you get stuck here is a hint with a Caesar cipher of 1: Zpv dbo dbssz bsujgbdut xjui uif hmpwf. Uijt bmmpxt zpv up ibwf bmm pg uif bsujgbdut jo uif tbnf sppn. Bmtp hbuifs cpyft gspn uif puifs sppn.

Play time: Quite long

ONLY GO DOWN by @jefvel

.

One button cave diving game with innovative mechanics and very cute music. You can dive, glide and parry the walls with just one button and it feels great. Did I mention how cutesy the music was?

Play time: Moderate

BUMMÖCK by @alec

This is coming for the fans of isometric action time trial games. Gameplay is very solid although laggy as times. It also teaches you a word BUMMÖCK: bottom part of the iceberg (I'm writing this without double checking to test my memory).

Play time: Quite short

My game: Deep Space Photography

Also, play my game if you like astrophotography but just hate it when eldritch monstrosities ruin the pictures of galaxies!

Play time: 5-10 minutes

WDYM only 6 left?

Then I'll do something small for fun. Will probably use pico8 because it's always more easier than using Godot and just having so many options.

last ludum dare was my best so far and for this one I aim to do worse but we'Ll see

I urge you to go into it blind. Don't read any articles or even my description about it!

(i may be very tired from jamming, i keep finding this joke funny)

Good luck to everyone who keeps going for the jam.

Hi,

I'm taking a stats course right now and I had the sudden urge to calculate if top entries in the jam significantly differ in terms of score from each other. Is there any way to get individual ratings for a game or y'now their standart deviation. I may be able to do it for this event once it ends and also try my luck in previous events as well. Has anyone tried a similar endeavor in the past? Is it technically possible? @pov may you be of help here? Anyway thank you for your time reading this words.

My game also has almost no words at all if you are tired of reading words: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/59/echo-chaser
