Hey everyone! This is the intermission video that will be played in the breaks of the Ludum Dare Score Chasers tournament. It includes gameplay from 44 different games submitted to Ludum Dare, 7 songs from games in Ludum Dare and 1 song from the 1-bit jam.

Try to see how many games you recognize! These are not games that will be played in the tournament (only around 5-7 games will) but these games were some of the games that were popular with people in the tournament.

First time completing a compo, didn't get nearly as much of the game done as I wanted, but I'm quite happy with my year's progress.

Still no option to rate a game. Found a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ludumdare/comments/16xgv1k/i_dont_understand_how_to_rate_other_games/) that described the same, so I don't think it's just me.

Score chasers is a tournament where people compete to get high scores in games submitted to Ludum Dare. This includes things such as completing a game in the lowest amount of time, getting the most score in a game, or other ways a game can be competed in.

The tournament for this Ludum Dare will take place on Saturday, October 14, 2023 12:00 PM ET with this edition of the tournament being hosted by @[email protected]. It will be streamed over on twitch at twitch.tv/ategondev for anyone who's interested in watching it (or if a contestant wants to stream their pov you can watch them as well).

How to Join

Anyone is free to become a contestant! Free free to join our discord if youre interested in joining or watching the event when it happens. In order to qualify for the tournament you need to submit an impressive score for any one of the games submitted to the jam.

Which games will be played in the tournament?

Games are submitted to the tournament by contestants. Contestants will submit games they enjoy and then the submitted games will get voted on by all of the contestants to determine the ones played in the tournament. You are not able to submit your own game for voting.

Hope to see you there! :)

Its being run similar to how its been in the last couple events. You can participate in any one of these three formats:

  • The Compo – 48 hour deadline, solo, from scratch (as much as is reasonable), and share your source code. Scored if you give enough feedback.
  • The Jam (recommended for your first time) – 72 hour deadline, solo or team, mostly from scratch, opting out of the Graphics or Audio categories if yours isn’t original. Scored if you give enough feedback.
  • Extra – 3 week deadline, solo or team, mostly from scratch, opting out of the Graphics or Audio categories if yours isn’t original. Take as few or as many days as you need. No score at the end, but you will get feedback if you submit early and give feedback.
