have to be exactly one good and one bad theme. mine would be "The wrong tool for the job" as the best, I can imagine all the silly ideas that can come out of it and probably "Cartography" as the worst because I personally don't find that idea to be fun

The game looks quite ugly and messy for now, but so do all my jam games on day one so I'm not too bothered by that, tomorrow I'll be doing the art, sfx/music as well as some level design..
my idea is similar to angry birds where you get to shoot an object into some direction, the idea is to help deliver the seed (yes it's a popcorn seed from a popcorn tree :blush:) to a hole in the soil, but in order to not have the player just sit there and watch while the popcorn flies uncontrollably, there is a strategy element with timings and sequences of events, you can also double jump and slightly change the trajectory overtime with the arrow keys, I tried to add engaging elements like a giant leaf that lets you launch the seed one more time but you have to do it fast before the seed falls off, or the bees that can carry you around or the ants that can catch you if you get near but they have a slow reaction time so they can't catch you in time if you fly by really fast.. I'm happy with the progress, and as always tomorrow will be the most intense day, I'll go to bed now, see you tomorrow!
I'm not even sure they play the games :cry:
hey people of the internet, I'm about to go on a marathon where I play a bunch of games until I get tired or it's time to sleep, post your games down and I'll give them a try, I also like to leave a bit long and detailed comments to help with the feedback!
I'd appreciate it if you can play my game too but it's not necessary, I hope everyone is having fun today!
This LD was quite interesting for me, the theme that I never even considered ended up winning and we got so many innovative games out of it, probably my favorite LD in terms of unique ideas and innovation although a lot of games followed the formula of a driving game or pizza delivery most of them had a cool twist to add to it, how was/is your experience so far with LD games this time?
for the past 2 days I've been playing a lot of games from the "danger" category, there are a lot of games with good potential that are so close to get the required 20 rating, I want to help! so if your game has bellow 20 ratings or you know someone who needs help with rating, please let me know!
I'm not much of an artist so I'm sorry if I went too astray with the characters or didn't do a great job replicating them ^_^. these are some of my favorite games, I wish I can make more but this took so darn long, but I might do another one who knows, anyway the characters in the image are from these games:

Thank you for all the good time!
I really liked how well made the song from Superstar Surgeon was and how it has such funky vibes that it ended up being one of the best games I've player, so I decided to take a shot at remaking the music with a bit of a personal touch to it because what's the fun in copying music note by note? it took a while since I wasn't familiar with the Funk genre and had to experiment around to get funky enough! but today I finally managed to finish the remake!
I focused a bit more on the emotional aspect of losing a loved one and the pressure that comes with it so I added some Orchestral elements here and there (yes I know who the hell merges Funk with Orchestra?), in the end I'm happy with the result but I've been listening to it for hours so I'm not sure how good it may sound to someone with a fresh pair of ears.
No Idea how I ended up with 5 minutes of music lol, but I hope you enjoy it!

@fupi @gaba
if the voting week is gonna end 2 hours from now and we all get to see our ranks, what is the point of the top 15 results? and if the results won't show until the 15 results timer is over, then what's the point of the first timer??
actually they don't.. where are the top 15 results?
To be honest I'd expected higher rating in some categories, but I'm happy to be a part of this, I finally broke my streak of each game being better than the previous, in the end I'm not really bothered by this, it's a great learning experience and I got so many happy moments with players and streamers playing (and sometime breaking) my game lol. I'll learn from my mistakes and take this as an opportunity to improve as a game developer and do better next time hopefully! hope everyone is having fun, I love LD!!
Oh and no more hard games from me, I'm done making difficult games lol
does anyone know the API to get all games made by a specific user in LD? I wanna make a program that tracks all my games and give statistics and all, but I haven't gotten into the public LD API yet, any help or starting point is appreciated!
For anyone like me who still hangs around, subconsciously opening this page every now and then, I hope you enjoyed this blast of a jam! and hope to see you in September. goodbye!
Not that I wish … to imply that you have been sleeping on … the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until … well … let’s just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference … in the world. So, wake up, @pov. Wake up and … smell the ashes..
