The 15th Ludum Dare “48 hour solo game development competition” has ended. The theme this time around was “Caverns,” and there were over 143 (i.e., 144) games submitted—all of which you can find here. (With screen shots!)
The top honors this time went to ChevyRay’s Beacon (shown above) and YMM’s Broken Cave Robot, which are both excellent. But there are many other gems! I advise scrolling through the voting results and trying everything.
Ludum Dare 16 will begin in December. Prepare thyself!
The Proper Undead’s Skullpogo is an incredibly enjoyable combo fest that entails (I actually wrote “entrails” there first – did my Freud slip?) hopping on pigs and bats to obtain a highscore. Power-ups and power-downs add to the liveliness and distract you from the sobering realization that you are, in fact, crushing the living hell out of innocent animals. Or are they criminals? Well, we’ll never know now, WILL WE?!
