Last weekend I made a tiny action game about being an alarm clock on wheels.

Presenting: You Are The Snooze Button.

#LDJAM #gamedev #webgl
You Are The Snooze Button can be played in all modern browsers, both desktop and mobile. It only takes a few minutes to finish it.

Play it here: piesku.itch.io/snooze
You Are The Snooze Button is a submission to Ludum Dare 50; the theme was 'Delay the inevitable.' I entered the Compo category, which meant the game had to be made solo, in less than 48 hours, and with original assets only.

Not going to finish #LDJAM this weekend. I spent approx 4 hours on the idea not goign to have any more time but I want to do a thread about my idea and why I still think #LDJAM is valuable even if you don't submit.
Unstable was the theme and immediately I knew physics games would play a big part in the submissions. Honestly quick actions driven by physics or tactile inputs are often solid gameplay... but this is a jam so we aim to experiment not tread proven ground so I thought about puzzle
Tile slide games are a big genre. I've never made one myself and I'm still new to Godot so I wanted to explore that. I immediately caught onto the idea of UNSTABLE CHAIN REACTIONS. Basic idea Red explodes Green explodes Blue explodes Red. You want to clear the board.

I've just realized, a bit late, that I need to play and rate more #LDJAM games! Anyone has any good suggestions? Oh btw, if you still haven't seen TITAN, OPSND that @dario_zubovic and I made for the jam, please play and rate the game too: ldjam.com/events/ludum-d… :) ImageImage
Ok, here I'll put some games I really liked.

First: Laika - "You were late - But your babushka still loves you very much" - OMG, this is the most realistic game I played! ldjam.com/events/ludum-d… Image
This one is so well done. So juicy, the graphics, the idea is really "out there", it's a perfect jam game: ldjam.com/events/ludum-d… Image

Presenting TITAN, OPSND! Find a way to control the rover 1.5bil km away and keep the space program and science alive! Featuring a full blown freakin' assembly-like language and IDE by @dario_zubovic! #LDJAM #LD46 dario-zubovic.itch.io/opsnd ImageImageImage
Also, this is the first game I made that I have no idea how to play! I was too busy decorating the office and making authentic 90s experience :D

Btw, expect bugs, everything clicked together only in the last hour. None of us has yet fully played the game :P
Oh and OF COURSE. Here's the proof we didn't play it: the music doesn't loop. EVERY. DAMN. JAM.

quickfix incoming....

My #ldjam results: broke top 100 in everything, so I’m grateful <3

I ran an analysis over the stats over my 9 jams, while the dataset is tiny, there were some interesting observations:
1/
First off, I think scores and placement isn’t the most important thing about #ldjam. Enjoy the community, making games, and getting valuable feedback! Don’t judge your jam just by numbers!
2/
First, the raw data, scores and placements, plotted into charts. On the surface, nothing interesting other than I've seen constant improvements in my jams, yay.

BUT let's dig for some insights...
