Worth Jamming: Ludum Dare

The theme for the most recent Ludum Dare (www.ludumdare.com) was "10 seconds," and it's definitely not enough time for me to save Mr. President.

Hey, I just noticed my game (Jetpack Nemesis) in this video, thanks!

The jetpack recharges if you don't use it for a couple of seconds, btw ;)

So 10 Seconds Quest seems unplayable now due to some sort of Japanese pop-up ad that overlays on top of the game and I can't seem to close it.

Antidote is reminding me heavily of those Sparx worlds from Spyro 3, but it's been so long since I played the game that it's possible my memory is bullshitting me.

@shepdelonge: To be fair, that's only my game. The other games are absolutely nothing like mine!

Weird seeing this video in the steam page for Mr. President. Was that cleared by GB?

Couldn't watch past the first game. Being able to see all the objects in the environment, then hearing Patrick say he needs to read the logs to unlock the items was far too infuriating.

Can always rely on Patrick to show us some interesting stuff. Fascinating.

Can I be probably not the first voice to request @patrickklepek does A Machine for Pigs Endurance Run? You know you want to. :P

Using the opportunity to plug my Ludum Dare 27 submission IMPETUS, a game that was created to die in 10 seconds unless players cooperate and keep it alive.

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=27544

It was “gone” only 12 hours after release (due to news coverage and too many players playing at once, which resulted in my web hoster pulling the plug), but there was a lot to be learned from the experience. I posted a post-mortem with background info, a gameplay video and statistics on my blog: http://dominikjohann.tumblr.com/post/59611971605

Cheers!

Just kill most of them, actually. I'll leave it at that.

If there are more that are as equally entertaining as this group you should do another video. Very entertaining. Amazing what can be done in less than 48hrs.

Also to kill Jimi, i think you were supposed to kill all the fans. Just guessing of course.

@silentpredator: Thank you very much! (Injured Eternity creator here). It was my first time creating any music so I wasn't sure if it was any good.

And thanks again for featuring my game!

I really liked Clockwork Cat and would like to play a full game of it. Emily Escape also seemed like something I could play (really loved the reload sound on the shotgun). The music to Injured Eternity (the first game) was fantastic.

Emily Escapes reminds of the escape sequence from the movie Hanna. Especially the music and the surveillance camera perspective.

Clockwork Cat, Antidote, Emily Mr. President and Flooded Dungeon looked impressive.

Great feature. I love the early 80's aesthetic of many of these games.

maybe that paper hit of LSD melting on his forehead has something to do with it...

Obviously the music was saving his life so why would he stop...

Teleportant is a cool premise, the actual game isn't so good though.

Great coverage, Patrick! I think this jam was a perfect demonstration that creativity is fostered, not hindered, by constraints. Keep sending these postcards from the edge!

@weegieanawrench: Thanks for checking it out. The good thing is, a full run is about 5 mins, so there's always room for one more try. It's a very 'lite' game.

Does the popularity of facecam have anything to do with that thing Japanese TV does with the people's faces in the corner?

@patrick Patrick, your pretty good at braking down games and getting to the nitty gritty, which is kinda what game jams are about. So, it would be nice if you spent a little time talking about/analyzing each game after playing them. Let's get some real games criticism, you can do it!

I agree, I like the segment and want more, but it would be even better to have a bit more commentary and insight what you liked and didn't like after each game experience.

You linked the wrong patrick! @patrickklepek
