Orbles

Ludum Dare 50 (2022) - Delay the inevitable

" I’m getting Attack on Titan and Factorio vibes."

" After playing it almost 30 times, I would say it belongs to my alltime favourite games from ludum dare"

Orbles is a city-building and real-time strategy game. You need to plan your colony, generate goods and lead Orbles in battle. The goal is to keep as much space as possible for your settlement, find Solar Orbs hidden among your enemies, and save the Orble civilization from extinction.

Karawan

Ludum Dare 49 (2021) - Unstable

"Dome Romantik was a gorgeous jam game, but this is pure art."

"Narratively, in terms of gameplay mechanics, visual art, sound and music, everything works perfectly to weave a somber, contemplative and desolate perspective in a dying world and its inhabitants. It's incredibly touching, sad and yet, still a bit hopeful somehow."

Guide your caravan turn by turn through a crumbling word. Forage, mine and expand your following. Hire a Magus to perform world transforming spells, and finally reach the portal that will save...most of you.

Dome Romantik

Ludum Dare 48 (2021) - Deeper and Deeper

"Played for longer than any other game so far this jam, by far, and i’ll probably come back."

"The upgrade system is great and coming to the surface with a haul to buy new equipment is always satisfying. Seeing terrifying creatures slamming against the glass dome, getting to the controls, and vaporizing them with the laser is oh so sweet. It all works so well together."

Mine minerals, use them to improve your dome and defend against waves of hostile lifeforms on this strange planet, to finally make your way to the planets core.

"Wow I had a great time playing this, this is the only game of the dare so far that I’ve happily played for an hour and would play again."

No-GPS taxi drving game, reminiscent of times where you intimately got to know the map, because you couldn't rely on navigational helpers like quest markers.

Microphage

GMTK Game Jam (2020) - Out of control

"Fantastic job both with the core mechanic and the way you taught the player its subtleties through level design instead of text."

Blackbird

Ludum Dare 46 (2020) - Keep it alive

"The atmosphere this creates is so relaxing despite the rush to collect bugs and worms, and I loved playing this game."

"Wow that was a pretty surreal experience. A bit of an emotional moment when the one child I fed flew away as the two others that I purposely neglected died in the nest."

Feed your hatchlings with the insects you catch in the woods, swiftly flying through the land. Made out of my love for the varied birdsongs of blackbirds.
