Ludum Dare Compo Winners
Ludum Dare is a twice-annual game jam competition founded in 2002. Distinct from the more relaxed ‘Jam’ category, the Compo is classic Ludum Dare: games are created entirely from scratch by one person, in just 48 hours. These are the annual winners of that category.
Daniel Mullins impresses again with this LD55 Compo winner. A clever jury-packing mechanic, noir storyline, unique characters and a polished design, Voir Dire explores its potential over about 15 minutes. Definitely worth playing to the end!
Boba is an incremental gamejam entry, but it’s from Daniel Mullins… so you should know to expect the unexpected. Not much can be said without spoiling it, and it’s only about 10-15 minutes, so just play it. Love.
Very impressive gamejam submission wherein a rhino needs to deliver packages, but isn’t great at slowing down. Starts simple but progressively introduces clever new mechanics. Really cool.
A very arcadey gamejam entry with waves of enemies and online leaderboards - simple, addictive, fun and clever. Can’t help but like the silly, punny title and theme too.
Scrabble with a gamejam twist: you want to keep the board empty. Fun mechanics, cool visuals and music. Clever game.
Very clever minimalist puzzler. Relaxing music under a compelling concept carried through a good amount of levels considering it was a gamejam submission.
You’re a seed powered by selectable upgrades, going deeper & deeper to find water. Clever, relaxing and fun for a short while, which is all you need from a gamejam entry. Clearly designed for mobile, but worth checking out on anything.
Interesting mechanics, great sound, cute animations and more importantly, clever puzzles. The core mechanic takes a sec to reveal itself and make sense, but stick with it. Impressive polish for a gamejam game.
A fantastic 10-15 minute experience, with impressive art considering its gamejam roots. A typically strange story and game from Mullins, with his classic dark tension and humour.
