Woow!! yeah..just made it in time! Hope you like this little game…
I was super excited about the theme and my concept..still loads of ideas i couldn’t implement,
too much polishing again..but managed to release a final thing..
sickest game on LD ? what do you guys ‘n’ gals think…?
It’s done!!! http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=25132
It’s half 2 and I have school tomorrow so thanks for getting me addicted to gamedev.
Hello! I participated in LD29. Yeah, everyone knows me! I won nothing :D!. Actually that’s false, we all know that you win just by finishing something, or just trying. Anyway!
I made this game called Orlyrinth. Here’s the entry: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=30442
It’s a little shoot-em up sidescroller (though the character shoots nothing!). Here is a little screen…
Wait! That shows nothing! Uh… okay, here is another one…
Dammit! Why I always die!
Urghhh… next!
Oh! Finally! Now as you can see there is a lot of things happening there, even if there is absolutely nothing in-screen. No enemies, I mean.
This game has leveling, a stamina meter (attacking depletes it, and defending too), a timer that tells ME when things are going to pop out. And a stage number. And score. I took up the time and the game uploads your score to GameJolt, I mean, it took me some minutes to do it, and several more to stop doing nothing and upload my entry.
Also this time I participated in the JAM. I wanted to be a little more calm, because this is what I do after finishing the semester. And there is something else still left to do, urgh, but whatever. Also I wanted to give someone else a chance at delving into game making, she helped me at several things, and well, yay! Maybe later we will retry! Bwahah!
So yeah, thanks for reading this. And I hope you give it a try. I beg pardon for difficulty, this game is pretty PRETTY unpolished. But pretty (?). ;o I’m an “artist”, not an avid game developer, even if I want to be one “orz. But I’m trying! I try.
Salut!
Tired ? Yes.
Will we suffer from this tomorrow ? Yes.
Regrets ? NO !
TURING 404 is out for you to play !
(You can hack the Ludum Dare global ranking in game.)
Unfortunately I was too hung up on technical code and being an average coder I don’t believe that was the best choice.
I had fun doing it regardless and learned a heap of stuff so all in all it was worth it and I look forward to doing it again next time.
Well done everyone there is some great stuff on here!
You vs. a small squad of silly slimes in Slime Spire Showdown, a mini twinstick roguelite a la The Binding of Isaac! Windows build is up, more platforms to follow. Have fun!

@lizzywanders and I made a game about an aardvark. And a manatee. Also there’s an island. Play it here!
We finished! With like, 20 minutes to spare even! We wound up with a pretty tight 2D arena fighter called Colosseum Brawl. Game play isn’t incredibly deep, but it’s quick and fun. The roll in particular feels really good, I think.
Things That Went Better
Things That Went Worse
Anyway, go play it!
We had wayyyy too much fun with this. And with a team of seven people, crazy and awesome ideas were bound to happen. 😀
TWO HOURS BEFORE DEADLINE WE HAD NO ACTIVE GAMEPLAY!! RACHEL DID IT!! OMG!!
You could have photo-finished our upload. We got it submitted with two minutes to spare.
I honestly can’t believe Rachel made this playable. (Actually, I can! She worked really hard!) Hammering away on her keyboard, she literally learnt how to do all of the Unity programming this weekend. Unfortunately, she got really stuck, and we couldn’t find any answers to the logistics problem online — we were just about to throw in the towel completely and chock it up to experience.
AND THEN … she figured it out!
With 1.5 hours left on the clock, we managed to throw in some win/lose conditions, music, more art and added an extra variable. It likely needs some washing up! But it’s done.
We’ve tried to incinerate all the bugs we can for the time being. Hopefully they will all (mostly) be squashed. For now, enjoy the bugs! They are horrible and only around for a limited time. Like the McRib!
Enjoy, everyone! This game really is one of those little miracles.

Please everyone give me feedback and let me know how I did 
I’m particularly proud of it, did ton’s of self playtesting.
Our game is ready to be played.
Hard Winter, when Zelda meet Tower Defense on one single screen !
Feel free to play, comment and rate, we would love to have your feedbacks.
We will begin to rate other games after a long night of sleep.
Good night everyone and good job! 😀
Our Wild West squaredancing RPG is live! We finished it right under the wire. We’re working to get a Web version up, but right now it’s just a downloadable Windows (Unity) title.
This was a rough one! Both Melissa and I are exhausted. We made it, though, and I think the game is ridiculous and awesome.
Information Superhighway is complete!
This is my 3rd LD, but it’s the first time I’ve actually finished. Yay!
Well done to everyone else!
One Screen Universe is my fourth LudumDare game and I think it’s the best yet! Well, now that it is out there I think I’m gonna rest. Until the next one! LOL. Yeah, hopefully someone enjoys my game and I sure will play a lot of games from this awesome game compo.

Some of you may know me from the last Dare, LD 30, in which I entered a short visual novel I developed myself called A New and Beautiful World (check my profile if you’re curious), and while I wasn’t able to participate in the Compo this time around, it was for a damn good reason.
Since then, I’ve joined a game development team of over 20 people from all around the world. We call ourselves Watercress Studios.
And for Ludum Dare 31, we have created and released our very first game together. A short macronarrative visual novel that we call “Lull.”
Link available here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=45841
God Bless the Ludum Dare, and God bless game developers all around the world. We are slaves to our art, and we love it.
Absolutely great jam, everyone. Even though the theme was pretty shitty. Good job to each and every single one of you.
Submitted my first Ludum Dare game, Maze of Doom! I wasn’t planning on entering the jam, but had a moment of inspiration late this weekend so I hurried to make it in time. Would’ve been an entry to the compo, but I started a full day late.
I had tons of fun developing Maze of Doom! I’m looking forward to revisiting it (once I’ve gotten some sleep) and adding in a few elements I didn’t get a chance to do for the jam. Even still, I think the game is pretty tight and fun to play.
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=47064
In case you’re having trouble winning, pay attention to the pro-tips! And for encouragement, here’s a screenshot of the ‘best’ ending:
It is possible!
I did it! Just barely, but I did it!
Trench War is my second Ludum Dare entry – a World War 1-inspired real time strategy game. The goal of the game is to build up your trench to hold off enemy fire, until you’ve got enough troops to stage on assault on their line. Once soldiers go over, they never come back and tend not to live long. Once 8 are alive and over the top at once, you win.
This was a far more ambitious project than my last entry – the code base is about three times the size, and the impact on my sanity was about three times the size as well. Check it out here.
Now, gonna get away from this computer for a bit, then check out a few other games – then some much needed whole lot of sleep.
Ill kepp it short!
I thought I didn’t had a lot of time to make something, but still made something I’m quite proud of!
Play it here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=18775

We’re a team of two, and we made an atmospheric puzzle game where you move rocks around. The mechanics are simple, but can yield somewhat complex results. It has a very “zen” atmosphere, so it’s a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
We polished the heck out of this, and we love what we’ve created. Hopefully you guys and gals will love it too!
Link to the really relaxing game called “Silk”
We would greatly appreciate feedback, since we’re super proud of our work on this.
Yo, everyone! We are Watercress Studios, a group of over 20 people from around the world (though only ~10 of us participated in the Dare).
For our very first game together, we’ve developed a short visual novel for Ludum Dare 31.
We call it “Lull,” and it is a short macronarrative VN that recounts the tale of a town in Oregon that copes as sound disappears from the world.
Great job to every single person and team who participated in the jam! God bless games, and god bless game developers. See you all next time!
(Game quality considerably higher than GIF)
Finally. Seventy-two hours of work, and this is the product. I’m very happy with myself, to say the least.
As I expected, I was able to really really polish the game for release today. I made the enemy difficulty scale as they were spawned, and added experience as an extra incentive to kill them instead of running past. Also implemented elite enemies and added scattered stone blocks using Perlin Noise.
Anyway, I’m not going to write a wall of text this time. Play the game here.

We barely made it in time, but it’s complete. Made in 3 days, puzzle game with really long name –
The Second Thought or Please, Don’t Touch Anything
The game features button pressing, tumbler switching and leaver turning.
You can play it right here.
I’d like to present my game for this Jam!
This time, I worked co-op with my older brother known as Kentiya!
He handled all the art and I handled all the programming.
So go give it a try, let us know what you think! Have fun!

This was my first Ludum Dare. I ended up working by myself… and actually the main reason I am even doing this is to find collaborators. I did all the pixel art from scratch and would very much like some feedback because I am kind of new at it. At first I didn’t really like the theme, but once I brainstormed some classic single screen games I had enjoyed in the past (SmashTV), I realized it wouldn’t be so bad. I had some grand plans of dinosaurs, jetpacks, and rocket launchers, and I am glad at least 2 of those made this version. I wanted to do a lot more, but that was probably my noobishness. I love making chiptunes/erocktronic music, but I didn’t have time. I was trying to make it so people could make maps using Tiled Map Editor, or at least load multiple maps during gameplay, but no time. The one thing I did right was to use some of my old Unity Scripts and enter the jam instead of the compo… maybe compo next time. I will add more dinos, weapons, maps, and block types, and some music.
Here is my entry:

TLDR: It’s hard to focus when you have more time than you’re used to, but everything worked out as planned.
Since me and a friend were making a Twine game – he was responsible for the art and me for the design of the narrative -, our reaction when the theme was revealed was not the best one. Each one of us made a quick brainstorm alone (about twenty minutes) and then another one, a more extensive one together via Skype. While we were discussing the theme, we both panicked a little, specially when you consider the idea for an interactive fiction to have all the game on one screen.
Given the limitation for our chosen technology (as well as personal skills), I took the liberty to be creative with the usage of the word “entire” on the theme. Not to give spoilers, but let’s just say you can get to the end of the game through the first screen.
This was my fourth game jam, but my first Ludum Dare which I worked from home. Since those who were participating on the Jam had one more day (total of 72 hours), I found it hard sometimes to focus on the tasks I had to do. Also, having one more day than I had at previous jam entries contributed to my dispersion.
At the beginning of the Ludum Dare I tried to come up with gaming aspects that I would develop in Twine. Inventory (which I had already did at another jam), a simplified quest log and a combat mechanic. In the first day (saturday) I gave up on this functions because they would take too much time, and I wanted to focus on the narrative this time.
After our initial brainstorm, we decided one of the main references for our game would be The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy from Douglas Adams. Needless to say I had a blast writing all the script, dialogues and coming up with crazy, nonsene puns. I enjoyed a lot writing comedy.
This Postmortem is my sixth post on the Ludum Dare’s site while the jam is still happening (to be fair, I started this post before the deadline ended). Anyway, this is my first Postmortem ever and I am super happy to be able to finish a game jam making one of this.
We had time to go over a few points of the game and the artist even got time to make a poster (check the image below). It feels good to set your scope right so you can finish everything on time.
Since I made the decision to spend almost 14 hours either with my girlfriend, my family or recording a podcast with friends, I had a glimpse on how my life will be when I turn this hobby into a full time job. Even though I love making games and am anxious to become better at it, this is still a job. I was happy that I managed to do all of this while was taking part on Ludum Dare.
I must admit that on the first day of the jam I was a little skeptical to work with another person even one I’ve worked with before remotelly (not face to face) above it all.

Well it’s that kind of post again isn’t it? The post-mortem. The point in which I get to talk about the good, the bad and the even worse! Let’s analyse it then!
Good:
Bad:
What would I do differently?
Peace out guys, Foxel & Mace!
Well, our second Ludum Dare! We made it in time. Time lapse coming up (:
Play it here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=30185
Good luck in the voting rounds everyone! Excited to see what everyone has made.
After 3 short days, I have finally finished my game,so if you wanna check it out: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=45653
I’ll make a lengthier post tomorrow and maybe a post mortem of my first one man project, I’m too beat right now.
Anyway congrats to everyone that submitted or even tried to make a game this week end, it’s hella difficult but hey,
It’s fun.
Just wanted to show off what exploding snowmen look like, as this was implemented literally 10 minutes before the deadline:
WebM version here.
Like what you see? Check out the game here!
HEY YOU!
YEAH YOU! GO PLAY OUR GAME!
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=26125
Peace!
Well I fixed the bounce, and check for score 1. Working on check for score 2 and other bugs but they’ll go in post jam. it’s playable and you can reorganise pixels to keep the ball in the game.
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=12354
What you can do.
1. Draw player 1 bat
2. Draw player 2 bat
3. Draw player 1 score (verifies)
4.Draw player 2 score (broken)
TODO
5. Fix player 2 score check.
6. Add ball off screen.
7. Add score detect at 10 for behind the screen player to win
8. Add user pain which leads to game over when the behind the screen player quits.
Enjoy! Will post a post jam fix soon.
Hi guys.
Usually I test games in the dark corner of my room and don’t tell anyone about anything. I decided to be a bit more social this time and I’ll share with you my feelings (about the games of course). That will be a good way to share people’s games. I decided to talk about games that I found on my own entry page, as well as the first ones (in order, when I could play them) from the entry list. No distinction between Compo and Jam, I just click the link, play, write some notes and feedback.
Really good arcade game. The addictive ones. Movement are a bit tricky at start but you finally get used to it. I really like the weirds effects the ball can have. Sometimes it just spin around me and I don’t know what direction to face. The precision meter is a nice feature, it remind you how much you suck at touching the ball
That’s a really fun and addictive game, simple and fun.
That’s a Super Meat Boy like, with perma-death. Fans of Super Meat Boy will like this game. I’m Super Lame at that kind of game and get frustrated very fast so I couldn’t finish it, there certainly is a lot of challenge in that game.
Graphisms are nice pixel arts, there is a nice fake old tv screen effect.
The only weak point is the lack of audio content.
Well, as a Linux user I couldn’t let a game with penguins escape without a test.
Penguins Can’t Fly is a fairly simple but yet entertaining game in which you can shot everything that moves. AND I LIKE THAT. Just spammed my canon, try to get these aliens out of my sky. It become more and more challenging as times goes. Speaking about time, the nice touch is that day and night mood.
I just regret not having some score board of all my runs to compare them.
Okay, I’ll be honnest that’s not the best game I played so far. In the game you have to cross an ocean by going right (east) and some random events, positive and negative, will happen. Ultimately, it’s just a question of luck, for the good events to balance the wrong ones. I managed to cross after three attemps just by pressing the right arrow of the keyboard continuously. So entertainment is a minima, an easter egg (that I haven’t found yet) is hidden in the game. I suppose it’s a matter of exploration but nothing sure. No music, either. The graphics are pretty nice tho.
That said, the creator just had 7 hours of work and that’s not so bad for making a game like that.
This was an hard one for me. Not the game itself, but the fact that you can only move with WASD and I have a french keyboard with ZQSD. Including arrow keys would have been nice, that’s what I do for lost guys like myself.
I would have expected better graphics from a jam entry. The music become annoying soon enough but, well, isn’t it the game of almost all of them is any jam ?
I had trouble to understand what the goal was so I almost only explored.
This guy took the theme seriously, the game is actually inside an image of a screen.
See you soon for another test series !
One final gif with the last cop walkcycles of our game “Filthy and Guilty”!
I finished my first Ludum Dare! I’ve attempted a few times before, but this time I actually sort of completed something. It was great, and I learnt quite a lot in the last few days. Of course, it might be riddled with bugs, and there are some things I didn’t have time to put in (like a health meter, for one), but I think I’m going to continue to work on it.
Behold, The Stickman Cometh:
Engine: Unreal Engine 4
Art: Maya LT and Photoshop
Audio: Ableton and Native Instruments
It’s a bit gory, so it might not be suitable for children, or the faint of heart. But they’re stickmen, so I figure it’s okay. I hope people enjoy it. I’ll upload a video of the final entry soon.
It is currently only for Windows. I’ll look into building it out for other platforms.
For our first-ever entry in Ludum Dare, the two of us chose to put together a PC board-game, Zombie City. After six or seven gallons of coffee and three tiring days, it’s up and ready to play!
The zombie outbreak has doomed the planet, but you control a team of four experts sent to find the cure. The four items that together will save mankind are scattered through the city. You’ll need to explore the town, fight your way through zombies, collect the four items, and bring them to the Helipad at the town center in order to be rescued and save the planet.
Featuring a procedurally generated city, dozens of random events, a complex dice-based combat system, and a haunting single-song soundtrack, Zombie City made for a fantastic challenge to develop in just three days.
We made our first game for LD!
That was hard, and we are trying our best.
Here’s link: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=38767
Another one by Ava and Marte – your favourite turtle doves. We participated together last time with Fitzberry & Leif, and now we are back with one more dimension to explore – from every angle possible!
So grab your keyboard, or your gamepad, which might also be supported! Have a go! Help this poor fellow out of that scary television screen. Send it blasting off the table with a loud and static crack! That’s what it deserves.

“Detective vs Killers” is my second LD entry, and I decided to take the JAM to add more assets and use some more time on polishing work.
The game idea is derived from the Table-game “Killer” and with many mechanics modifications.
In my game, player acts as the detective and try to find killer among many citizens on the map, before you run out of credit.
citizen and killer look the same, and will move around in night.
Every night the killer might kill a nearby citizen, that will cast a penalty on your credit.
Player, in day time, need to inquire citizen, to deduce the killer position and try to arrest him.
Well, I guess I did it, I made a game. It’s kinda fun, but there’s plenty I could’ve done with more time, I feel like.
Horde Mode(s) is pretty simple, you go into a room, zombies spawn, and you kill them. Despite the art being squares and stuff, it actually doesn’t look at awful as I expected it to when I started:
Here’s the link: Horde Mode(s)
At the end of the day, it was a learning experience for me, and that’s all I ever wanted.
Special thanks to all of you guys, for making me jealous and fueling my motivation to keep going.
Peace.
Hey guys! We finished and submitted on time! Woo! We’ve been so excited to participate this time around, and are blown away by the other entries. I’ve been meaning to write this post, but I was too busy playing other people’s games.
View and play our entry. We’ll be writing a post-mortem soon. Woo!
Hello everybody,
this was my first LD and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Feedback has been great and all the information I could possibly need for the process was made readily available by the community and it was a pleasure participating. I’m definitely in for LD#32.
If you’re interested in how “A Dog’s Tale” was developed, have a look at the “narrated” time-lapse I made at http://youtu.be/3r0qIxg1tco.
If the time-lapse sounds boring, I suggest you try the game, that should be a lot more fun!
Tools used:
Notepad++
Freemind
Blender
Photoshop
Chrome
Three.js
Wire (custom game engine)
and my AS3 to JS compiler (because AS3 is still a nicer language than JS).
BTW, if I’ve committed any noobie faux-pas, I’m sorry. Like I said, first-time Ludum Dare-er here… xD
Well, that was a fun jam.
I decided to make a Christmas themed game to get everyone into the Christmas spirit! I started a bit later so I didn’t get as much as I wanted added but I’m happy with how it turned out.
If you want to play it click HERE
I hope you enjoy it.
Huzzah, game complete! The Victory Garden Team’s LD31 Jam entry is “O-Inari Origami”, a puzzle platformer about a paper fox in a paper world. All you need to play is a mouse and keyboard, and maybe your thinking cap. We got enough puzzles done to fill a short campaign, thanks to an in-game Level Editor, which you can use to make and share some levels of your own. Hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!
Uff, we did it (again) and completed the LD31
We created a fun little game in which you have to get rid of Santa (because he has been bugging you since October and now it is time for him to leave!):
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=32967
Please feel free to play and vote!
We hope you enjoy it!
Cheers
I really need to change that title.
Hey friends!
So, this is my first Ludum Dare game. Also my first Game Jam game. Also my first solo game. At least, the first one that’s semi-completed.
Was making it in honour of the Compo, so created it by myself from scratch. When the competition ended I wasn’t quite done though, so I didn’t submit. Its still not really done, but posting incomplete might be better than not submitting it at all. I hope. =]
Just a silly little typing game. Type the words to slow the clock, get as many words as you can before the clock runs out.
Things that I didn’t get done:
> Adding Score + HighScores
> Complete word list (currently, there aren’t many words)
> Stop words from crashing/overlapping each other
> Make next letter in word flicker so you know which is next
> Make first letters of words slightly different colour
> Splash instructions at beginning/end of game
> Pause screen so when you click off game, you can’t see the words
> Destruction animations
I’m hoping to keep working on it over the few days, and scratch some of these off. Hopefully that’s not against the rules or anything, as long as I show what I added (someone tell me if I’m wrong).
Play it here: WordNoms LudumDare Game Submission
Cheers all!
Looks like I’ve managed to finish something after many tries.
I didn’t seriously expect to complete it in time so I haven’t posted the used tooling before, but better late than never:
For coding: Intellij IDEA, Kotlin to Javascript compiler, and Pixi.js
For sprites: Corel PhotoPaint
For music: Reaper and Native Instruments FM8
This is a pretty simple game, so there weren’t many incidents to speak of. The most serious stumbling block was my lack of sprite drawing skills, had to spend quite a while adjusting values so that the ground tiles didn’t look like being above the wall ones, etc. Also, getting used to Pixi.js beforehand would have probably saved me quite a bit of API Reference browsing time.
Anyway, the result is here
Looking forward to playing everyone’s entries!
I think everyone have seen on neighboring house. Now imagine – you are a detective and you must find a killer in that house. You can see and may be hear them. And their behavior helps you.
sounds cool? Try it) And, of course say us about you feeling and review.
Thank you!
It was fast and nervously. We wrote many dialogs. And it’s all – awesome!!!!
a few screenshots:
Alright as we said in the last HelkeGames’ diary Azor is now published! We have been working so hard on this project and we are happy to announce the official LD release of Azor!
Official trailer is also released !
AZOR A GAME BY HELKEGAMES
MADE FOR LD 31
Year 2050
Galaxy M510
Captain Joe Park, member of ISLA (International scientific labs association), has been travelling for several months in the deep space… Destination: AZOR LAB.
Nobody knows what happened to the last expedition who visited AZOR… your mission? You must recover the lost files about the “experiment”, remember you promised to your beloved that you would come back home alive… but you must be fast once you landed because oxygen is limited… Remember: You are the only one who can do it, Earth is counting on you!!
After 4 LDs HelkeGames is back with a new project: “Azor”!
I would have liked to make a longer story with other features but… We got only 72 hours so… we did our best! The theme was “Entire game on one screen” and I tried to use one screen for the whole game but I couldn’t show all the rooms in one screen for 2 reasons: it would be a bit slowly to load all the instances in the same room and… Since I tried to make a great story (even if short) I don’t want to spoil it… Players shall finish the game and see the end by themselves!
Thanks everybody for making every LD so awesome! You guys rock!
Now I’m going to play and rate your games! I just wanna relax a bit !
Tags: Azor, helkegames, ld31, postmortem
Finally, the game is done. That first Ludum Dare was awesome. We’ve been working a lot so this is what we have done so far (The game will have more content in the future). We hope you will like it. (It is also Xbox controller compatible)
We finally finished our JAM entry. Its a procedural generated 2d dungeon like space stealth shooter with hack and slay elements. You have to fight through each floor to reach the end and kill the enemies. You can try the stealth and cloaking approach ans see how far you get. Each time you start the game it will generate a complete random map.
Your entry into the Mission
Procedural generated Mission
We have still a bunch of ideas how we can extend and proceed with the game, but at the moment we are just happy that we gotten that far in that short time. As it gotten to the end we noticed that our level of tension increased exponential and dropped to normal after we hit the submit button.
It would be great if you could test and give some feedback about the game:
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44840
We are taking a rest now and looking forward to testing some awesome games from you!
We thought we couldn’t submit the game for some reasons, we even think of just giving up but look at now! We actually didn’t expect that we’ll manage to upload this little game of ours!
This feeling is so awesome!
WOOOO UNTO THE NEXT LUDUM DARE!

We’re glad to present you our game made with 72h efforts, 29l of tea and not enough pizza:
We would ♥love♥ to have your feedback guys, tell us if we can improve things!
Despite a epic struggle with 2D physics, we’re glad we made it to the deadline with an empty TODO list
This was my first Jam with Unity, huge thanks to @Tavrox_ and @resptyle for their performance and skills, I learned a lot, lot of fun working together!
After a tiring 72 hours of Jam we finally managed to make a more or less playable game. It’s short, it has problems, especially with the graphics, because we had no time to finish drawing everything. Some of the sprites are just simple placeholders. The reason why we were late was that we wasted our first 27 hours with a completely different idea, when we had an enlightenment on Sunday afternoon.
Anyway, the game is playable, please check it out, and rate if you can. Thank you, and thank you for all the community and the persons that made LD 31 possible. It was fun for us to join you and see what others create and to make our ideas become reality.

Sleep well! It’s 5:52 AM in Transylvania.
What a Ludum Dare it was !
A lot of fun, struggles and challenges we got ! We tried to captured what was defining the theme “playing a game only on one screen” and we got instantly nostalgic !
It was our first Ludum Dare, so we prepared beforehand a planning on how we could made it under 72h. It was also our first time that we used the features of Unity2D, so we learned a lot! We hope to explain you what happened in our Post-Mortem in a few days, but overall, it went surprisingly well : at least more than what we thought !
Don’t forget to visit our entry page and vote if you like it!
Thanks!

It’s important to us to get feedback.
It is our second entry at Ludum Dare.
The game is a local multiplayer where you need to knock out of stage your headbutter rivals.
My game has an actual menu!
So I completed my first ever full Ludum Dare. I’ve finished a couple miniLDs but never a completed game in just 48 hours. Now that I’ve had a day to stop and reflect on how everything went I wanted to get my thoughts down in the time honored “what went well and what didn’t” format.
Walk the Plank is a pirate captain plank walking simulator. The (very loose) plot is a pirate crew that plundered all day and has to make all their hostages walk the plank. Unfortunately they waited until late in the day to line them up so in their haste some of the crew got mixed into the line. As captain, you have to kick the hostages overboard and throw the crew back onto the ship. Each round lasts 10 seconds. Fail to reach the target number or make three mistakes and the level is lost. You can play Walk the Plank here.
What went well
Scope – The scope of the game was perfect for me. Normally I love complicated games and writing engines, but this time I wanted to make something that was complete and polished. The game is dead simple with only two buttons. This simplicity freed up a ton of time to focus on other areas. Even with the simple engine I still only finished 18 minutes before the deadline, so anything more complicated wouldn’t have been done for the compo.
Code – Don’t get me wrong. My code is a horrible mess. However, the bones are solid which made adding levels and content simple later on. Levels 4-7 were added in the last 20 minutes, which is over half the content of the game. I made a feature list early on and stuck to it. I’m happy that there was absolutely no scope creep at all. This is unheard of for me and played a major part in the on-time finish.
Art – The art went better than I expected. I tried something new this time and used InkSpace to draw everything. I loved being able to scale the game assets to every size without losing any of the quality. Plus, I created a master template for the crew and hostages and then just build arms, feet, bodies, heads, and hats that can all be combined to create a large variety of different characters. SVG files are super easy to modify and change to make different characters quickly, so I think overall that efficiency made up for the extra time it took to learn the tools. The ship needed a lot more work than I was able to give it though. Overall, the art is very functional, and I’m happy with that.
Polish – I am really happy with the amount of polish I was able to cram into the game in the second day. Tweening is quick and easy and I think adds a lot to the overall effect. I have states that convey information clearly (I hope). Little things like restricting input for a second when displaying the results page so players don’t accidentally click through it add a lot and I was able to cram it in.
What went poorly
Music – I knew music was going to be painful going into this. I actually had very few requirements going in. I only needed a menu piece and a game piece. Each round only lasts 10 seconds, so there didn’t even have to be a large music loop to fill the space. I knew exactly what I wanted for the main menu and was able to create it in about 5 minutes. The game piece I struggled with for an hour with nothing to show for it before giving up realizing I needed to spend the time elsewhere. Instead, I just sped up the main menu music for the game. It is an extremely short loop (only a couple seconds long) and got on my nerves quickly. I thought about cutting it out altogether but settled on just adding a mute button. You’re all welcome.
Level design – An hour before the deadline I was looking over my rapidly shrinking must-have feature list pretty pleased with myself. Then I realized that the last remaining item was actually just content. Crap! It is great that my buttons are appearing in an aesthetically pleasing manner, but the game was only 3 levels. That is about 2 minutes of gameplay. I quickly created new pirates and hostages (easy thanks to the art choices) and threw them into the game (easy thanks to the code skeleton). I didn’t get to test them out very well though. As a result, the levels go from easy to medium to easy, to medium, to freaking impossible. Actually, the near impossible last level hid the last “what went poorly” item…
No game end – If you somehow beat the last level it loops you back to the beginning. Not that you are ever going to beat the last level, but still. If by some miracle someone does beat the last level I would imagine that they would be pretty disappointed that the game doesn’t even acknowledge the miracle that they performed. Luckily nobody will ever know this, except for the fact that I just posted it for everyone to see…
This was great fun and I’m loving playing and rating other’s games. I’m taking notes about what others have done that I really like for next time.
Hello guys,
We just finished our game, SNOW BRAWL ! It’s a 2-players game, playable with only ONE gamepad platform game where you have to build the Snow Castle with your rival by collecting the snow which is on the ground. You can throw this snow on your opponent in order to increase your score and to stun him, while you’ll continue to build the castle.
You can also play alone, but it’s obviously less fun than if you’re two players.
You can play it here right now !
Will you discover the true aspect of the Snow Castle ?
Hi
Oh man, so pleased with out entry! It looks and feels so juicy!
The game takes place on a spaceship that looks like it was built in RPGMaker. On board the ship there are rooms where crew members can stand, or do work, or surf the web. Throughout a game, the crew wander about, do their work, get bored, and surf the web for porn. You play as the caretaker AI, a little like HAL from 2001, only hopefully less… um… crazy.
I spent the first day and a half working out a system for having the crew find their way around the map. Basically I used dijkstra’s algorithm for shortest path, but instead of running it every time a crew member changed their destination, I ran it once at the beginning of the game… and the populated each tile with “sign-posts” pointing at all the important locations. The sign posts are invisible, of course, they are just data! They contain a single instruction, like “left to the bridge” and the crew just walks from tile to tile checking along the way. I really like this technique, and I’d like to use it someday to create actual procedural sign-posts on roads or something ^o^//
It was a pretty stressful jam, because along the way I rarely felt like we had a finished product. In a recent jam, #indiesvspewdiepie, I made a game using a more iterative, less destination oriented approach. What it meant was that I didn’t have a grand vision, but at each step of the way I felt like I had something that I could submit and call a game. This project didn’t look or feel like a game until, um, maybe half-way through today. That’s demotivating for sure, especially when, after the first day, all you’ve got is some dots navigating a grid and a half-finished tile-map. Fortunately I was working on a team as @zncatlaw, and everyone pulled their weight really well. When it started to come together, it felt great!
What we submitted is not as nuanced as what we set out to build, but it is still quite fun to click around in, and to see how long you can survive before your incompetent crew decides to overwrite you with more porn videos. The restriction “all on one screen” turned out to be really good for us! If it hadn’t been for that, we might not have been able to control scope as well as we did.

Thanks!

It’s a good ol’ finish for Mystery Meat today. The game was completed successfully, not all features implemented that we wanted
itch.io is doing okay handling the game. It works for some of us, but occasionally doesn’t work for someone else. We’re not sure what to do, maybe it’s just a lot for the server to handle.
You know, if anyone has any suggestions on it, we’d love to get some help.
It’s made in HTML5 Canvas.
It has been an amazing weekend, filled with lots of hard work. I even managed to stay up for 37 hours due to induced insomnia, haha.
In the end it was all worth it. And here our game is, in all its glory (and lack of content we originally wanted in).
We’d love for any of you to give us some response. We found our game quite funny, but we’re just two people and been working on it the entire weekend. So we are ripe for new players and feedback!
Looking forward to check out everyone’s game! Cheers from Norway, guys. Now it’s time for some Z’s!
Link to our game: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=47205
We finished our game, yay! Despite being massively busy and having work all day today, we managed to squeeze something out.
Hope you enjoy!

I did it! That’s all I can say to LD#31. This time I wasn’t lucky at all. 
I usually enter the 48 compo. I started on time but after about 5 hours of work my hard drive died. Not the OS hard drive but my hard drive with all my programming savings and git version control saves. 😥 I tried everything to restart it but nothing worked. The hard drive was only a year in usage so it’s sad that it died at LD. Because of such a desaster I lost a day so I had to enter the jam.
So here it is:
Have fun! And don’t forget to vote!

This is just an update from our teams joint account to activate the account fully, to say our game: “Title” is almost finished and should be uploaded soon for the world to judge.
I’m in! Actually, we’re both in! Schuranator will soon be bringing you the amazing Block Party Egos! BPE is a 3D take on tetris for 1 – 4 players using keyboard, mouse and joypads. We lost our hair making this game, we sincerely hope you do not lose yours while playing it!
Here’s the thing: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=47629
I’ve uploaded an android version of my LD31 game “Not your usual pacman”.
Grab your tablet and get ready to play 😉
APK Download: http://ld31.jdsoft.de/android-release.apk
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jdsoft.nyup.android
It’s 3+am over here and I have work waiting for me tomorrow, I need my sleep. I’m sorry.
Here’s a quick reflection, and animated GIF of my work so far.
7 hours more, you guys can do it!
What does “OJiJi” means? Its “Shadow” on Yoruba language of course!
It took us two hard days (and one really hard night) to create this game for MicrosoftGameJam in Moscow. After that, we had a bit time to get some sleep and polish it for LD31. So here it is! Look in more dimensions, move objects, compare shadows. And listen to really nice music of course! All made for last 3 days.
Btw, we had almost no experience with Unity before the Jam. Awesome way to try and learn new engine!
Nowhere is now submitted. It is a little artgame.
If you do not like art games you should probably not start it but if you like them you should probably give it a try: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44878
This game has been created in only 12 hours and is pretty small yet deeeep.
The first days of the jam I went to make a whole other game but it turned to be much too experimental and complex. I also bumped into lots of UE4 bugs but I might pick that project up again tomorrow row
row
row
This artgame is just a little idea that jumped in my mind the first minute I heard of the theme for the jam. Don’t expect too much…
Bests,
David
I stared writing Bjorn McGomez I at about 1 PM on Sunday, and I wrote it from scratch; the only part that existed before yesterday was the font.
This is the first time I’ve built a game from start to finish, and it’s been a real learning experience. I realize that maybe starting off with just the game model and no actual way of viewing it other than console.log() was probably a bad idea, but it let me rapidly build the rooms and “AI” (I use the term in the loosest possible way – the game won’t be winning any Turing tests anytime soon.)
And then came the procrastinating; I couldn’t decide what kind of setting to slap on top of my code, so I eventually went with “kinda crazy”. Hence the ability to roundhouse-kick and supplex lobster-people.
Also, it’s about being on one screen in three ways. First, you play it on one “screen”. Second of all, the McGuffin you’re after is a screen. Thirdly, the excuse plot is about a military screening operation.
I hope you luverly people give it a try; it does have six endings, which is really a case of the writing getting away from me (it’s really easy to write a “page” when you are using HTML!)

Out of the blue I realized I wasn’t busy during a LD weekend and decided to go all in. Here’s what I managed to make: The Hyperbeam
What I learned from this is that clearly I’ve been missing out on something great. With the option to work on my ‘main project’ or LD, the latter will give a tenfold better return.
I also learned various technical details and that designing puzzles is hard and estimating their difficulty even harder.
This was my first LDJAM and even though time was tight and we only had a few hours here and there I’m really proud of the game @shaydavidson and I built.
It was also our first time using Phaser.io which is just a great HTML game library.

I was going to do it alone and in two days. But my friend said: “hey! Lrt’s Ludum together!” So we made it together and in three days
And so there are we: five unexperienced guys headed to the main goal: survive the gamejam and create THE game. With some wierd controlls.
And we made it) I want to thank guys i’ve been working with. That was freaking cool!
Boom! I finished Strikeout (an eclectic kinetic laser deflecting game) at about 1:45 in the morning on Monday, and as with all Dare’s I cooked up some character art for the front screen shots later on. I ain’t no artist, but giving the game some literal character just finishes a jam for me! Feel free to play the game, I RELISH feedback! Check it out here
A less abstract Striker
So I dit it!
My first game for Ludum Dare (my second game at all).
I started saturday ~6:00PM > 8h, then ~14 hours on sunday, and the game was done before Compo deadline.
No music though, so on monday I tried to learn FL Studio a bit, but yeah… like I was going to learn FL in one day to make something worthy.
So I just used @Muciojad audio clip (really cool track).
At the very beginning I had the Idea, more or less, but my style was far different at the start:
At first I wanted to make it really silly, with LOL face bouncing around.
But then I tried to make some orbs.
And I liked it better to make it this style.
So I made some blocks:
Then just made a level surrounding
Then I thougt, since these orbs in game spit every 3 seconds, so it could be a nice effect to make a clock around the level to cound it down.
And thats how final graphics looks with that clock:
and it looks like that in motion:

Hello there. This is my second time joining Ludum Dare and I have just barely made it in time to submit my game. I call it “Swarmed”, and it is a top-down view shooter. The game will turn into a bullet hell not long after you enter it. Please play and leave feedback so that I can continue to improve it after the Jam.
The great idea is to have fun with friends. Hardcore controls and gameplay makes you fill like kicking you’r friends ass! We think kicking best friends ass is the one of the main points of great friendship!
So have some fun, rate and commend!

The game, entitled “Noman’s Dungeon”, is up here. I’ve also put together a time-lapse video of the entire development process, which you can watch here on Youtube.
In preparation, I had put together a simple framework of an engine using SDL 2. The framework provided simple things, like easily loading and using static images, animations, and sounds.
I initially spent the first hour brainstorming ideas that fit with the “entire game on one screen” theme. After tossing around some ideas like a 1v1 tank battle game and a puzzle/platformer like Solomon’s Key, I settled on a turn-based rogue-like. I had thought of such a game in the past, so this felt like a good opportunity to try it out. Here is the outline I ended up with:
This outline felt doable in the 48 competition time frame. So how did it go?
So where do I go from here? I have a fun little game that’s begging for some balancing and some more content. A lot of the things myself and others found to be problems with the game are simply results of having a limited amount of time. I think it’s something that I want to continue working on, even though the jam is over. Maybe it will turn into something really cool one day.
Hi folks!
We just pushed an version of Leaving with current know game breaker bugs fixed.
Here’s a list of what have been updated:

Three days ago, there was a naive me who believed things would go smoothly this time around.
“After 5 Ludum Dares, now I know everything. I cannot do anything wrong!”.
Oh, myself. I want to punch you in the coclea, so much.
So the Ludum Dare came and went, and after some trouble and some fun moments, there is a little, shiny game in my lap, Behind the Fog. It is so unpolished, so crappy, and yet I like it. Ludum Dare never fails to deliver on accomplishment.
Now it’s the time to look back to the past and see the lights and darks of this weekend, and hopefully learn something for the future.
Woke up at 8:30 am. I go on and look at the theme. And I feel confused. Is that even a theme?
I scowled at the screen for a few minutes, then I thought I might as well start thinking about something.
I jotted down a few ideas on a piece of paper.
Then, a cool little idea came foward. What about a multiple room point and click game that fits all on one screen? I really enjoyed the idea, the programming looked simple enough, so I open up Emacs and start devving away.
A few hours later, I have a working engine, and I feel like this LD is going to be a cakewalk.
Then I started working on the graphics. And here the shit hits the fan.
I didn’t consider the amount of graphics I had to make for such a game. Even if the screen is small, the amount of rooms was high, and drawing graphics and story and puzzles that fit all of them was just too much to ask for 48 hours of work.
I could make a very simple room and use it as a template for the rest, but then the main purpose of the game, puzzles and room diversity, would fall.
I could do instead a single room point and click. This seemed like a better idea, but then I discarded it because I hate myself. So, multiple room point and click it is. Time to work those graphics up.
I open up Krita, and start drawing, then I close it because I think that traditional graphics would take too much time.
I open up Paint.NET, then I close it cause I don’t know shit about doing pixel art.
It shows
I open up Inkscape, then I close it since vector graphics don’t fit the idea I had for the game well.
Nope, not working
Then I realize that I’m an idiot by not considering the graphical part into the equation from the start. My mistake was believing that programming would be the biggest hurdle, when in fact graphics are a much bigger obstacle, especially for a point and click game.
Also, I guess that this problem stemmed from my inexperience in doing graphics for games. I never worked much on this, and it shows.
In the evening I leave my work with a few unfinished backgrounds and a bad taste in my mouth.
Things start out grim.
I boot up my game and for some weird reason it gives an error I’ve never seen in an HTML5 game. I stare at the screen, in disbelief. I watch my git log, and it looks like the last commit was more than 200 lines ago.
I stare at my half finished assets.
I give the middle finger to the screen as hard as myself (in reality, that one is pointing at me). Alright, let’s start from scratch. New day, new idea. Fuck it. I have more than 18 hours to spare.
I spend the rest of the morning brainstorming for ideas. It is not a good feeling when you have less than a day on the clock and still no idea of what to make.
Then, a cool, simple idea came forth. What about an exploration game? A game where you had a map the size of the screen and had to explore it? The idea intrigued me, and it was much simpler to implement than any other idea I didn’t have.
I developed a quick engine from scratch and it worked very smoothly. (I also discovered that HTML5 canvas has an excellent masking library, a little hard to get into but versatile).
The graphics here weren’t much of a problem, since it meant to draw a simple map. I booted up Inkscape and breezed through it. I wanted to get an old treasure map feel, and somehow it came out quite nice. It was both fun and fast, which is a first for this LD.
So I have the map, now time to implement the collisions… Wait, fuck. I drew a map without considering at all a possible grid for collisions. How the hell do I implement a collision grid quickly? How do I implement logic so that collisions can disappear and appear?
This may sound obvious to some of you, but it took me a while before I remembered that the excellent map editor Tiled exists and is at my disposal. I didn’t believe I could use it at first cause last time I used it it didn’t have json export, so it wasn’t useful. But it looks like that the later version implements it. I was creaming my pants with joy.
Implementing the collisions was a breeze, althought quite long.
Based Tiled
But time flew by and didn’t realize it. It was midnight and I still had to implement logic, story and otehr stuff, I was tired and there were only 4 hours before the end of the compo. I could have stretched it but I didn’t feel it was worth it. So instead I just dropped the compo and aimed directly for the JAM.
Sleeping never felt so sweet.
The 8th of decemeber is a festivity here in Italy, so I had plenty of time to clean up my game.
The morning I spent doing some house chores. I went on with the game in the afternoon. Not much to say here, things went smooth and no real problems arised. The game was “done” before the deadline, as much as a game done in 3 days can be done.
And here it is. Behind the Fog. It’s real, and you can play it here!
So yeah, that was a wild weekend. I’ve learned a lot, which to me was the most important thing. And I also have a game to show for it! I hope you will play my game and ejoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Now for the best part: playing stuff! I have already played some stuff and it’s wicked. Can’t wait to see more.

Happy Hunting 
Zero Sum : A Ludum Dare 31 Jam
What started out as a “quick compo weekend” turned into an epic jam when the theme was announced. Zero Sum is designed to be a short (three to five minutes), rich experience that makes you laugh out loud. Featuring a deluxe audio treatment, beautiful flat-shaded polygonal art, and some arresting throwbacks to an earlier era, I hope you take the time to play it, and sincerely hope you enjoy it.
Zero Sum : A Ludum Dare 31 Jam
As an aside, I want to say how excited I am by the huge number of unique art styles I’ve seen already, and the fantastic ways people have subverted the theme. I love Ludum Dare, and I love all of its game creators. You rock. Thank you.
