Hit the Slopes with Avalaunch!

:snowboarder: Check it, Bro! :snowboarder:

We made a physics-based 3D avalanche-destruction simulator for LD50 and would love for you to check it out.

Built over the weekend in LibGDX, Avalaunch! features a custom physics engine and shaders, hand-built voxel art, and a *ripping soundtrack * - all created during the course of this jam.

It's got a full web build too, so you can hit the slopes right from your browser!

We know you're probably hella busy scoping out everyone's mad game dev skills, but it'd be totally sick if you'd peep our entry and leave a quick review.

Avalaunch!

Try to save the ski lodge from its inevitable destruction by a daily avalanche in Ava-launch !

Build ramps to divert the flow of snow and try to hold off the inevitable for as long as you can.

We're considering expanding this concept into a more complete game, so it would be great to get a few more ratings and reviews to help us know what works and what doesn't.

Got 5 minutes to harvest some souls?

Harvest souls in our Guess Who?-inspired entry for LD52's "Harvest" theme.

Solid mechanics wrapped in original art and music come together in our action-puzzler, Reapo Man: Death Who?

Single-button gameplay is easy to learn, and you can make it through the whole deal in less than 5 minutes if you're good.

Harvest souls from the grid with your click-and-hold-to-charge scythe, but be sure to get all the required features in your quota before time runs out!

Play right from your browser via (HTML5/WebGL) or download the .jar (Desktop/Java) for slightly better desktop performance.

It's Goomba-time, baby!

After a disastrously-timed failure by the team's internet provider, our game is now live and working!

We missed the initial flush of people testing new games due to the aforementioned technical issues, so it would be awesome if you'd check out our submission:

Goomba Simulator 2025 ld58-goomba-sim-2025-title.png]

Haven't you always wondered what's REALLY going on in the Mushroom Kingdom?

We're in the home stretch for ratings and still haven't hit the 20-ratings threshold, so we invite you to spend a few moments in the strange but fun world we've created with Goomba Simulator 2025 and let us know what you think!

It's the 10-years-on sequel to the team's 2015 entry for LD 33, where the theme was 'you are the monster'. The rest, as they say, is history!

Check out the game here (it even has an HTML5 version so you can play right in the browser without any downloads!):
