Hello! Ludum Dare is a quarterly game jam (https://ldjam.com/). Instead of making a game, I spent that weekend making a bunch of music. I only participated in the event a few times, but it was fun when I did :)
Absolute bangers. I used this in a recent game jam. The variety in the tracks mean that I can rely on it during the last few hours of the jam without having to curate music from different sources. Ludum Dare Track 8 is my favorite.
Hello! I'm gonna be using your tracks in my Visual Novel. I had used these tracks before in my school project and now I'm going to try to make it into a full game. I don't know which specific tracks I'll use yet but I'll make sure to list them once I do.
I am currently making a game and plan to use your loops in it. I do have one question though. In the future, I want to try to monetize my game. But I can't use patreon. Can I just pay you some amount to use your loops in my game?
Yeah absolutely! Once you get to that point, get in touch and we can work something. We can find a fair number based on the size and scope of your game. :)
Used "Ludum Dare 32 - Track 2", "Ludum Dare 30 - Track 5", "VGMA Challenge - July 18th" and "VGMA Challenge - July 30th" in my latest short game, Dawn. Thanks again for the great music!
Heya! I'm glad you enjoyed the music :) I got stuck on the padlock code; maybe I'm missing something, but I could put in numbers, but not actually confirm/deny the code was correct.
Really? There should be a pretty obvious tick/cross each time you input a code. That's weird, I checked everything was working before I made the game page public. I'll be sure to check that out. Thanks!
Hmm... Tried playing the game on itch both logged in and logged out but I can't seem to replicate this error. Very strange. I'll try and look into fixing it but I'm not sure if you're allowed to update your game during the voting period of the jam I submitted this to :(.
(You know me from your Discord server though, so is it okay if I DM you to ask you some more questions about this? I don't want to clog up your comments section.)
I think itch is having problems at the moment because I can't download it or play it in the browser. Having said that, the description sounds great! Reminds me a bit of the game Switch 'N Shoot. Looking forward to giving it a try once itch gets their connection issues sorted. :)
Hello, I am aware that the previous comment here was also me, but I don't have any other method to contact you, so this also uses some of your music. Thanks again.
Hey! No worries. I'm glad you're enjoying the tracks in your projects. This is really cool. I like the mega man vibe where you get to use other bosses weapons. :D
Hi! Absolutely super music! I've been working on a little YouTube project about physics in a pixel art style and found that Ludum Dare 30 track 6 fitted in great for my first video about space weather! Thanks a ton!!
Thanks again for the music! I’m planning on using your music again for another jam game. I’ll edit this to include the link and attribution once the project is submitted.
Hiiiii! Been a Patron of yours for awhile now! Used some of this music as well as some of your Patreon tracks in this jam game we then expanded some and have credited you on the project page as well as within the game. (In-game credit is at the end and just says "Music by Abstraction - abstractionmusic.com") Please let me know if the accreditation needs any changes! Thanks for your excellent work!
Attribution looks great, thank you for doing that! :) Played a bit of the game, is a really cool idea to have a tower defense game where you place the barriers but not the towers themselves!
I love the visual style of the page! I'm gonna have to check out the game when I have the time. Thanks for using the music and letting me know about it :D
Hey ! really liked your tracks! Would use two of them in a short game made by a couple of friends. Ludum Dare 28 Track 3 VGMA Challenge July 13th Will send it when it is complete with proper attributions!
Hello! I used "Ludum Dare 32 - Track 5", "Ludum Dare 30 - Track 8", "Ludum Dare 28 - Track 7", "VGMA Challenge - July 1st" and "VGMA Challenge - July 11th" in my latest game jam game, ROSA. Hope the attribution's alright. Thank you for making such awesome music!
Thanks for making these available! I used Ludum Dare 38 Track Nine for my first Unity 2D game, Clicky Galaxy. I hope I've credited the assets appropriately and please do let me know otherwise :)
I used this pack for my game for Ludum Dare 48, it fits quite well imo. Only one song since it was a game jam xD, But it will stay once I expand it a bit more after the rating period.
You can check it here if you want
I used a bunch of the tracks, and set them to play in one big loop for my game, PERFECT! super great! will 100% be in the next update, I've been looking for good music for the game for soooo long! (happytoxicsludge.itch.io/blocks-keys) rn it's in a public beta sorta thing, not really finished
I used Ludum Dare 28 track 7 (I think) for a 3 day game jam where I did a rougelike and the song fit perfectly, I credited you in the description. Thanks for the music!
Used one of your tracks for a game jam, and credited properly- it's a NSFW game, though, so please let me know if you're uncomfortable with that, and I can replace the track!
Great music, not sure if it fits my game but I didn't have time to be picky. Will give you credits in the description! Game Jams are so pressured, bruh.
Thanks a lot, added your name and website link to the credit section of my android game for when it comes out! Love some of the tunes you've made, I used Ludum Dare 30 Track 4. It is a nice upbeat track!
Hey! I’ve used your music in two game jams thus far and people always comment telling me they really liked the music. Great work! I made sure to credit you best I can !
Great stuff! I've just become a Patron and have spent hours going through much great music. We'd love to use a few of your songs in a tiny game we're making and will certainly credit/up my pledge if/when we ever get it out there!
Hi! Sorry, I misunderstood your question. You are welcome to use the music in this free bundle for commercial use. Joining the Patreon helps me out, but isn't required.
While these songs are listed as pay-what-you-want, if you do plan on making money off your game (either through ads, microtransactions, or direct sales), please subscribe to my Patreon. $1 a month can get you instant access to over 250 other songs you can use in your projects.

I understand that not everyone has access to PayPal, or Patreon, and I don't want to limit people's work because they are unable to support me. But if you have the means to toss a bit back my way, it's definitely appreciated, plus you get access to a ton of new music! :)

New to this. Are there a ludum dare 1 -27 somewhere? Also why are 29, 31, and 33-37 missing? What is ludum dare a monthly thing?

That's awesome! Can't wait to check out what you make :)

I got the red X one time, but after that I could input as many numbers as I wanted and nothing happened. Hope you get it sorted :)

I tried it again and it worked. I was right with the code all along! haha
Hey I just wanted to say I love these little loops you make! I have used some in some of my games! Here is the most recent one.
Hey I'm really happy to be a part of your process :)
Hi! Used one of these in my project! Thank you so much!

Love the art style :D I'm glad you're enjoying the songs, hope you get lots of good use out of 'em

Hi, I love your music! I used some of your tracks in some of my projects, here and here. Thank you for sharing them for free.
These are both really cool! The Lightning Grappling Hook one reminds me a bit of Ghost Grab 3000. https://crowbarska.itch.io/ghost-grab-3000
Thanks for sharing! :D
Ah, only if I could release a game on the Switch. Thanks again for the free songs!
You'll get there some day! :D
Hi! Absolutely super music! I've been working on a little YouTube project about physics in a pixel art style and found that Ludum Dare 30 track 6 fitted in great for my first video about space weather! Thanks a ton!!
I made sure to attribute you in the video description. If you're interested, here's the link to the video: Pixel Physics: What is Space Weather?
Thanks again!
This is great! Love the explanation and breakdown :D
Fantastic to hear, thanks for checking it out!! :)
Hi! I'm planning on adding some of your music to my former jam game once the submission unlocks. This is what the attribution will look like:

As long as it isn't hate speech or something, I don't mind NSFW stuff. Thanks for asking though! :)

This game looks great! Interesting idea of having to buy ammo and stuff :D
Loved track 2 in Ludum Dare 28 loops so much! Used it for a project today making a immersive retro clone game of Frogger!
That's a cool project! Love seeing how things come together like this. Happy the music worked for you :)

Thank you for this amazing music! I included a few tracks from the bundle in a Twine game called 'Time Fragmented' for a game jam. https://fujogeegames.itch.io/time-fragmented
This is really cool! I didn't have time to play through the whole thing, but it seems like you set up an interesting story here :D
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it so far!
Hello! Guess what. Yep, another one with one of your musics!

Cool little game, relaxing games are a lot of fun. I like the idea of moving faster costing you points.
I use some of your music in my game.

Hello Friend! Another one!
