Hey everyone! I'm Noah, one of the members of Quite Good, and this is our first time competing in Ludum Dare. We had a ton of fun working on our game called Swing Shroom!
It's an action platformer where you play as a mushroom with a grappling hook. Give it a try! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/swing-shroom
Comment with a link to your game so we can try it out! I love seeing all the creativity and passion in the games I've played so far.
When my friends and I were playtesting Swing Shroom, we had a lot of fun seeing who could make their way to the bottom the fastest. Right now my fastest time (the world record AFAIK) is 35.03s. The game doesn't have a timer so I just time it on my phone. If you can beat my time, leave a comment and I'll add you to a leaderboard on the next blog post!
Also share your game in the comments!! I'm having too much fun playing everyone's projects :blue_heart:
If you haven't already, try out our game Swing Shroom! You play as a rope-slinging mushroom on a quest to the forest floor.
We're working on a post-jam version of the game with features like bug fixes, timer, death counter and intro cutscene to expand upon the lore of Swing Shroom. Comment with a feature you'd like to see us add!
Swing Shroom is now available to download on Windows and Mac! Huge thank you to everyone who's enjoyed it so far and given us feedback. We're hard at work on a post-jam definitive version of Swing Shroom with improved level design, bugfixes, redesigned rope physics and, last but not least, checkpoints! You can stay updated on our progress through our twitter -> Quite Good Games . Peace out!
The jam is finally over and against all odds, we made Crazy Cauldron! Mix up ingredients of different colors to brew up potions and serve them to customers in this frantic witch simulator! You can play it here.
Link your game in the comments so we can try it out!

If you have any ideas or want to chat with us (the cool game devs 😎) come join our Discord!
Thank you for all the support and we're hoping to bring you more updates soon on a post-jam version of Crazy Cauldron!
Can't express how much I appreciate all the feedback for Crazy Cauldron, we put a lot of love into it :smile_cat: 67th is a huge step up from our LD48 204th overall ranking, and I'm glad people liked the graphics!
It's crazy to think we first got into game jamming almost 11 months ago, and even crazier how much we've learned along the way. We're even more fired up now for the next one :fire:
And I guess that's the end of the story for our jam game . . .
*mobile, web, windows, mac, maybe even linux ??
We had a ton of ideas for things we wanted to add but weren't able to because of the time constraints. So we are releasing a post-jam release with a bunch of added features, including:
and much more..
If you wanna stay in the loop about development, we have a Discord and Twitter where we post stuff that we're working on and chat with other game devs.
We've been working on a full release for our game Crazy Cauldron and it is here! When we initially released the jam version, we had some feedback from people enjoying it on touchscreens so we decided to publish Crazy Cauldron on iOS and Android as well. You can play Crazy Cauldron on all of its platforms here!
For the full release, we've added: - Online cross-platform leaderboards - 13+ spooky customers - Pixel-by-pixel handcrafted main menu - Brand new title screen - and more . . ?
Since the game's launch, Crazy Cauldron has also gotten featured on the front page of itch.io and we are really humbled by the positive feedback from people :pray:
Right now we're doing a character design contest where people are encouraged to share their ideas in any form (visual, text, audio, etc.) and our favorite designs will make it into the game! If you feel like you have a creative itch to scratch, we'd love to see what ideas you come up with. >>Link to the contest
That's all and looking forward to seeing what everyone makes next jam!
I wanted to give a big shout out to the musician of WizardFall - the very talented Jabbu. He is an incredible music maestro who can whip up quick, immersive tracks like nobodies business. He has collabbed with us on the past few projects and FOR THE BETTER. Check out his stuff on Spotify and look out for this guy's projects! https://open.spotify.com/artist/2z05oYAAyzrRNbWrNFSrDt?si=H_BQdPYcQBajv5BsM7OWVQ
Hope everyone has been having a fun jam - it's been really cool to see everyone's submissions.
Edit: Also wanted to say - creating the narrative experience of a game is a challenge, and it makes me appreciate those great narrative titles out there - zelda, DS, A Short Hike. Make u appreciate games more yknow
Only you can stop the Meteor Wizard from turning into a mighty meteor and colliding with the Academy of Magic. Will your spells and speechcraft to save the day, or will the Meteor Wizard do you in?
Play it here and please let us know what you think! We love to make games and hear about your experience playing them :grin:
If you want feedback on your game, feel free to drop a link in our Quite Good Community Discord! Our favorite part about Ludum Dare by far is getting to play all the incredible games out there.
Congratulations everyone on another amazing jam! :smile:
