Today, we are playing 2 games today, both from the same game jam, Ludum Dare Jam 55/Ludum Dare 55 Game Jam

FIrst up is Manku the Magician by EARTHQUACK Team, where you play as a debuting magician streamer and farm for donations, by summoning bunnies in your magic hat. This is a cleared run, where you have to score 1000 dollars on donation. Overall, this one is fun, I like the graphics and cool funny stream chat things as well, and can also be very addicting of a game. I could try to do better on this one later maybe. Music is very neat. Grabbing the bunnies ears are kinda lenient, but also tight, I guess my only problem is the hat ones, and especially on later stages of progression, where they're just really hard to remove due to some of them being fast, but again that's how it is, in a game having kind of arcade elements.

For the second game, PIED PIPER is a platformer puzzle game by arColm, where you can summon rats in various shapes/forms, or even can change gravity for you, by playing your piper with specific tunes you have learned. As for this one, this one is absolutely enjoying, so good in fact, I feel it doesn't deserve to be under the radar on this jam, and deserves more recognition. The last stage section, is also satisfying, since it's the most different from the rest of the stage.

Overal, these are some bangers.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
