[@tenacity25]

Eraser was sooo sick. Honestly gameplay like that would be amazing as its own full standalone game. Like imagine an entire platformer game with those mechanics for movement, a full story/levels and everything. That's insane. That'd be awesome.

[@Korinengamecorp]

Yeah, the way you chain dashes reminds me of Ori, but without being an obvious rip-off. We need more fluid platforming mechanics like that

[@WanderTheNomad]

@@Korinengamecorp The art and the perspective really differentiate it from Ori

[@godlyvex5543]

Eraser reminds me, level design wise, of Juke's Towers of Hell. Obviously the movement mechanics are a lot more jammin than that game, and is less focused on perfectly-precise movement, but still bears a great similarity.

[@Ringating]

dev here, thank you for the kind words! I'd really like to flesh out the project into a full non-foddian game, but to start I'm actually releasing a free steam version w/ multiplayer! the steam page is live, but the soonest that version can be playable is nov 29 (assuming my game passes their inspection).

The noise that Pullywog made when the lil dude hit the ground was perfect

[@snakekingjexxy]

@senni bgon somehow i just don't think so. you look like a spam bot that was just created with a picture of a beautiful woman to attract clicks for your virus websites. and if somehow you're NOT... it's kinda shitty to advertise that on someone else's channel. like cmon.

[@ArkayeCh]

The Eraser developer is an absolute madlad. Parry this memes, insane tech and absolutely miserable gameplay.

[@Ringating]

dev here, thanks!

[@ArkayeCh]

@@Ringating Keep doing what you're doing, man!

[@ComfieDev]

Thank you for making this possible. I couldn't be happier to actually participate, let alone be in the top 5! This jam has been one of the best moments of my life and I can't thank y'all enough. Going to work out a full version of Back to the nest, called Rust Bird! It's going to be sick

[@captainCaybrew]

The art in the game looks amazing, really think it could do well on steam.

[@izmckenna]

definitely my favorite of the 5!!!

[@MuscleNerdh]

Good job man, keep it up! Goodluck!

[@sgy]

Ok

[@lene4137]

pinkatana looked really cool, hopefully that gets some kind of full release or something

[@WanderTheNomad]

Loved the aesthetic of that game

[@orangejuice2704]

It was like a way harder and faster version of the messanger and i think thats an amazing game idea

[@sudarshangurung8099]

Ikr. That was so satisfying to watch. I was imagining the sharp movements but with some creeps and monster along the way.

[@randombrazilian4534]

Yeah, the movement looks great

[@henry6026]

Eraser was definitely the most unique game and was my personal favourite. But overall, good shit

[@Ringating]

there were so many incredible games, so I'm flattered to see people say Eraser was their favorite. thank you!

[@Terkiaz]

@@Ringating I loved Eraser. Incredibly creative, I feel like it has potential to be even bigger, I'd definitely be interested in that!

[@Stephanie-zb2ib]

@@Ringating personally, eraser was one of the best games that Ludwig showcased, you did a fantastic job I would love to see more games from you!

Having a game jam and picking those judges was such a good idea, all these games are amazing. Props to everyone who entered!

[@Acerola_t]

I made The Dating Game, one of the honorable mentions. The jam was a lot of fun! I hope the next one has a better theme though.

[@Acerola_t]

Also not to be a shill but I did make a video on how it was made :^)

[@Panha_Janai]

The fact that lud spent $15,000 on this tournament and didn't even mentioned it in the title is just so out of character. Usually he would milk the fuck out of it.

[@mikumin727]

i think the only time ive seen him titling about the money was when the video was about paying money or tourneys he participated in

[@norsaki6980]

Loved these games! Good job everyone.

[@Kcajakon]

To any developers reading this, incredible work to everyone who made it on the video and those that didn't.

[@DanielPlok]

The top 5 could easily become full fledged standalone game and I’m all for it

[@RusaiAkaCrispy]

So kind of Slime to let this smaller streamer do a Twitch Stream on his account

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I love this. Between this and stream sharks this is a real good space for small-time indie devs to be in rn!

[@TaqdyrXavier]

Pinkatana was so good

[@gregorydunks]

Pinkata was my fav

[@misteryi1307]

I actually love how ludwig makes his viewers feel not only involved but included and feel like he cares. It's crazy to see so consistently in a streamer

[@fine2335]

Michael Reeves showing up out of nowhere and saying “yea probably got a lil bit of Java in there” sent me lmaooo

[@Street-Pigeons]

pink katana got snubbed hard, how did it not even make top 5? I'd definitly put it at #2 right behind eraser

[@IronBrandon22]

I would love to see Ludwig try to make a game

[@nikoghos]

Dude, thanks for making this happen. Had a lot of fun making game. Can't believe, that i made it to top 5

[@zorod5475]

God jammer gauntlet. Speedrun all 10 of these games

[@foopygoopy1860]

I'm really glad you still decided to give something to those out of the top 5. I'm not as skilled as you are at those games, they looked like they would make me rage quit within 30seconds. But they all looked amazing and were created by some seriously talented people. Very awesome of you Ludwig!

[@foopygoopy1860]

I dont know if you like Puzzle games Ludwig, but I've recently been playing Baba Is You, and that's a very fun game. Highly recommend. It takes some brain power, would love to see you play it sometime.

[@alejandrogomez1698]

Bro, Eraser has some of the sickest platform mechanics I've seen

[@ohjayge]

Man I really been going threw it. And a lot of times it’s just hard to laugh. Or at least stay in a good mood. But watching your videos always takes my mind elsewhere, and I laugh so much. I truly appreciate you man. Your content is awesome

[@Leonlion0305]

10:52 when the shamisen starts playing I go "Is that rokudan??" I check but still isn't sure but I am certain I heard of it before Mashiro no oto really get that Rokudan and Jogara bushi in grained in my head

[@zeuskidkash8845]

Lud’s the first person to have Michael Reeves in his video and not use him for clickbait lmao

[@ThisIsOmni1]

the quality of these games for being made in such a short time is insane! respect to the developers

[@codyheiner3636]

That Eraser game was freaking insane!!! Imagine that game with a bit more budget behind it. Would be absolutely epic

[@SharifYawn]

I'm upset Dani isn't in this video

[@GMBethHarmon]

13:50 😂 How many times have you made QT say that, Ludwig?

[@idixal419]

I kind of expected all of these games to just be trolling Ludwig, but they're actually awesome. Props to the creators.

[@IBQ1]

The jumpking map immortal babe has been out for like 3 weeks and I haven't even heard Ludwig mention it

[@typhlo7291]

Ludwig and michael reeves interacting is something I never knew I needed

[@Deathlynumb]

That black/white illustration style one would get me to start playing these games. Reminds of classic style artists like cuphead

[@Dave27467]

Ludwig: *plays 10 different games* KZbin He is playing happy wheels

[@SeedlingsGame]

I'd love if this became a recurring series. There's lots of us gamedevs that would love to try this but found out too late.

[@IceIsak]

Ludwig speedrunning erased would be fun to watch

[@mikabredehoft9482]

To be fair to Ludwig unity uses c# which is basically if java and c had a baby and c lost custody

[@Asherspawn]

Ludwig, you fool, you should have added Micheal Reeves in the total for a 20% viewer boost

[@SkyzzzGaming]

I enjoyed watching all of them I can’t even imagine making these in the time they did puts some developers to shame

[@NelsonMandela1999]

"And You are always in a perennial starfish like my ex" 😂😂😂😂

[@AceOfClubs3338]

Honestly back to the nest, if it becomes a full game, I would love to see speed runs in this so much.

[@masmolinari]

This video was clearly recorded in Java

[@carazy123_]

The sound effects in Pollywog are hilarious and extremely satisfying

[@c0rrows]

i started watching the first part of this like an hour ago and i came back to it and i started at 0:45 when lud just says “you weak little man” 💀

[@snaphappy7530]

2:14 he made that sound right as i dropped a nugget in the bowl which made the same sound and that made me laugh.

[@digitalfantasies4570]

At first I thought he was alone then all of a sudden MICHAEL REEVES

[@lusteraliaszero]

eraser and pullywog are the only non-negotiables for sure

[@RaphaelAndrieux]

Man all those game were nuts, Pullywog and Eraser were my favorites tho

[@iclickbuttons7296]

seeing ludwig run a game jam is the greatest thing ever

[@bony_ttv]

[@lizzzylavender]

pink katana definitly should haave been top 4

[@carlosbyrd4519]

Someone's gotta make a Foddian game where you get forced 'upgrades' as you get to certain points, but they just make the game harder. So the farther you make it, even after you fall, the harder the game gets.

[@djentlee9064]

Sorcery Climb got scammed

[@ComfieDev]

shh

[@Ridlay_]

They made these in a couple weeks? They’re going places, that is amazing.
