Apr 26 13:23:24 Ocean LAN ♥ 0 love the stock explosion, and the physics & movement feel great!
Apr 26 18:16:37 4h 53m Diggleoid ♥ 1 I want to second the thanks for Pico-8! This is a game I could play for a long, even though I'm very bad at it lol.
Apr 26 20:00:21 1h 43m DEEPER ♥ 0 phew, that fall speed is intense (I mean that in the best way possible)! I think some music would help increase the intensity even further. Also it was a bit hard to tell when my character took damage. overall fun game though! Pico-8 users unit!
Apr 26 21:19:56 1h 19m Adventurer of the deep ♥ 2 Really liked the art in this game. Took my a minute to realize i couldn't mine the gems without purchasing the item first. As others have said impressive amount of content!
Apr 26 21:26:08 6m 12s For Whom The Diving Bell Tolls ♥ 2 the pressure mechanic was a really clever way to prevent people from just speed running to the bottom! This game has a really good mood!
Apr 26 21:33:21 7m 13s Wilford - Deep Underground ♥ 0 the sound effect and particles make the digging feel real good! The movement felt a bit off, maybe my computer is just slow.. I also really liked the music!
Apr 26 21:37:33 4m 12s Pescuit Pe Plajă ♥ 1 Legendary instructions lol. I also thought the art was really goofy, but in a good way! One issue I had though was the music only played through my left speaker.
Apr 26 21:43:55 6m 22s Need more deep: Donut cover ♥ 1 Really unique camera angle. Loosing all horizontal speed when jumping did make it really hard to control.. tI really liked the lighting though, it made things look really dark (if that makes any sense).
Apr 26 21:48:22 4m 27s Dreamer ♥ 2 wasn't expecting the transitions in music and visuals as I went deeper into dream, super neat! I wish the attack hotbox was a little bigger, since it was hard to actually hit the enemies.
Apr 26 22:24:34 36m 12s Mira's Therapy ♥ 1 Really like this game. The visuals, music, and writing all work together so well! I also appreciated the more mature interpretation of the theme. It was a little slow to have to type out the text, then switch to the mouse to actually select a phrase though. Maybe some keyboard navigation would help with that!
Apr 26 22:32:14 7m 40s Tunnel of Love: I'm Digging It ♥ 1 What a fun idea! The cutscenes seemed a little on the long side to me, but other than that the whole feeel is amazing! Very well polished for a jam game.
Apr 26 22:39:45 7m 31s Dig It! ♥ 3 The grafics and gameplay are super slick. Something that could really add to the difficulty would be items that you need to travel around. Overall, nice work!
Apr 26 22:50:56 11m 11s Submarine Frenzy ♥ 1 I had a bit of a hard time mastering the controls but eventually got the hang of it. Good job on the graphics.
Apr 26 22:53:57 3m 01s MushDeepMushLeak ♥ 0 I thought the concept of this game was really hillarious! Keep up the good work.
Apr 26 22:59:31 5m 34s Wandering ♥ 0 man, the amount of polish in this game is impressive! The art,music,level design are are super good! Even the amount of mechanics is impressive. My only complaint is that the platforming felt a little loose. amazing job overall!
Apr 26 23:01:18 1m 47s Deep Sleep - The Sandman ♥ 1 The sounds were maybe my favorite part of this game. As others have mentioned, adding levels of difficulty would make the game feel more challenging and polished. But hey, there is only so much time in a game jam right? Overall, nice work.
Apr 26 23:05:45 4m 27s Cave of Death ♥ 2 The graphics in this game are spot on. I appreciate the care that went into the lighting and overall feel. Nice work!
Apr 26 23:19:41 13m 56s I AM ROOT ♥ 3 I genuinely enjoyed playing this game. It took me a little while to master the controls, but after I got the hang of it manuvering the roots was easy. Overall, the whole thing is very polished and fun.
Apr 26 23:23:51 4m 10s They Hear You ♥ 0 Really cool idea! I really liked the trade offs with choosing to be fast or sneaky. The enemies may be a little fast however, and I once spawned right on top of a mole! The sound and visuals were super polished though. great job overall!
Apr 26 23:25:34 1m 43s Odd Jobs ♥ 1 This game was really enjoyable to play. I enjoyed the challenge of each level and the humor in the concept.
Apr 26 23:29:16 3m 42s Fight Bytes ♥ 1 I enjoy the thought that went into this game. Learning the mechanics seems like a bit more of a time investment then I have right now, but overall great work!
Apr 26 23:33:31 4m 15s Deep Snails Night ♥ 1 Awesome graphics! As @smooches pointed out, it was hard to tell how the combat worked though. Overall well done!
Apr 26 23:38:43 5m 12s Birdy adventures of Sherlock Worm ♥ 4 As others have mentioned, I had a hard time determining the use of the items. Other than that, the game felt very well put together. Nice work on the intro cutscene and general feel. This game could easily become addicting...
Apr 26 23:40:12 1m 29s Doodle Dig! ♥ 0 Congrats on completing your first LD Game Jam! I'm excited to try your game once the link gets fixed.
Apr 26 23:54:02 13m 50s Deep Sweep ♥ 1 I love that this game is isnspired by one we all used to kill time in 4th grade. The graphics are cool and the gameplay is intuitive. I think I might have found a bug on the first level. When I went to restart the game, it sent me to the tutorial every time. In the long run it's not a big deal at all, just something I noticed. Solid work overall! If you feel like it, please check my game eragator out. It's Guaranteed to make you gag.
Apr 27 00:02:41 8m 39s Crazy Fishing ♥ 0 Thanks for fixing the link for us! You have me "hooked" lol. I enjoyed the fact that you included famous fish from disney movies like Nemo and Dory. That was a great touch that added a layer of thoughtfulness to your design. The pelican was also neat.
Apr 27 00:06:05 3m 24s She Waits Below ♥ 2 I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into the story and dialog in this game. After a few minutes the reading became a bit tedious for me. Overall, Nice work!
Apr 27 00:10:57 4m 52s Deepeth Woods ♥ 4 Man, I'm obsessed with the overall vibe of this game. My favorite part was how the character got beat up as he recieved more damage. It would have been nice to have some directions presented in the beginning of the game, but I managed to figure it out all the same. Nice work!
Apr 27 00:13:37 2m 40s Magic Forest ♥ 1 I really enjoyed playing this game. The overall mood was really amazing. I agree with the other commentors in that I became a little dizzy towards the end. Congrats on completing your first game on Unity with coding! I'm seriously impressed!
Apr 27 00:17:17 3m 40s Chimes ♥ 1 The graphics in this game are seriously MIND BLOWING. Major props to you for creating such a beautiful game in only a few days! You should be proud of yourself. The gameplay was a little slow for my taste, but the overall feel was very calming, which I really appreciate. Keep up the amazing work!
Apr 27 00:23:34 6m 17s World Eater Jormungandr ♥ 2 I enjoyed how colorful this game was. The gameplay is intuitive and the graphics are cool. In my opnion, it was a bit difficult to figure out what I was supposed to eat and what would deal damage. Other than that everything was great! Nice work.
Apr 27 00:33:39 10m 05s SPERMA ♥ 1 Amazing graphics and gameplay. I enjoyed the ability to trade proteins for abilities. The first few times I played this I thought the white spots were what I was supposed to reach. A brief explination at the beginng of the game would have cleared up the confusion for me. Otherwise, stellar job.
Apr 27 00:41:05 7m 26s The Search for Catlantis ♥ 3 Man, those graphics are spot on. The game was fun and the controls were easy to master. In my opnion, it got really hard really fast at the end. A more gradual buildup in difficulty would have given me more time to play this amazing game! Nice job.
Apr 27 00:46:39 5m 34s The Elephant in the Room ♥ 1 Pico-8 is the best. You made a really amazing game here. Great work! The graphics were nice and there was some great movement going on. At one point I fell into a hole that I was unable to jump out of. That could be user error though lol.
Apr 27 00:51:22 4m 43s Nostril Navigator ♥ 0 Those sound effects are nauseating in the best possible way. You have a really well polished game here. The gross theme makes it even more fun to play somehow...
Apr 27 00:59:13 7m 51s Panda Prize Pusher ♥ 1 I could have played this game for a lot longer. The overall feel was really engrossing. Nice graphics and unique representation of the theme! I was a bit confused if the goal was to spend more money or save it. Other then that, it was great!
Apr 27 01:05:06 5m 53s Deeper in Debt ♥ 1 This was a really neat little game. I enjoyed the graphics and the unique interpritation of the theme! To make the game last longer, you could add falling clocks every once in a while that would add a few seconds to your alloted time.
Apr 27 01:09:19 4m 13s Submarine Bean ♥ 0 I can tell you really took your time with the graphics, and they look amazing! The bubbles and little fish in the background give the game an extra layer of depth. The controls were easy to master and the game was fun to play. If you plan on continuing to work on this game, adding some moving enemies would be amazing. Nice job!
Apr 27 02:54:08 1h 44m Miningsweeper ♥ 3 I have played several different minesweeper games from this jam and have like this one the best! Here's why: 1)The different elements you could excavate added a level of mystery to an otherwise straightforward game. 2) RPG gameplay elements forced me to think about my moves instead of clicking around mindlessly If I could add one thing to this game it would be music. Having something playing in the background would have made the whole game come togeather and taken away from the harshness of the sound effects. Overall, awesome work! This game was fun to play and felt very complete for a 48 hour jam game.
Apr 27 03:02:51 8m 43s Where did I Bury It? ♥ 1 Well done creating a nice game in only 48 hours! I think that there a lot of things that make this game feel satisfying: 1)The graphics were high quality and not too complex. You were able to capture a lot of detail without it being overwhelming. The animations of the dog digging and the worms moving added some life and moevemt to the scene 2)The controls were straightforward and the gameplay felt smooth. It was super easy to get sucked into the world and invested in the dog findng his bone Something I found slightly confusing at first was the different objects. I thought the worms were enemies and avoided them, only to find out that they were helpful.
Apr 27 03:21:45 18m 54s Treasures Of The Depths ♥ 1 man this game is so relaxing! the axe tink's were right on, and I think the graphics served the gameplay really well. I can totally see this being expanded to where rocks get harder to mine as you dig down and you would have to buy upgraded gear with the stuff you've mined so far. Also the zoom all the way to the top once you got 5 diamonds was ssooooooo satisfying. good job!
Apr 27 03:24:07 2m 22s Deep way down ♥ 1 The five stages of grief exemplified in a beautiful and origional game. Here's what I loved about this: 1)The music and color change associated with each stage did an AMAZING job of helping to portray the emotion that the character was feeling. Add the facial expressions on top of that and you have a display that is moving. 2)Having the "she" be ambiguous allows each person who plays the game to picture someone in their life they wouldn't want to live without. It creats buy-in and immediate emotional investment in the outcome of the story. 3)The anger level was hard and frusterating. I am assuming this was intentional in order to help the player feel what the main character was feeling? 4)Visually, this game was simple, yet stunning. The animations were very fluid and calming. 5)Although the game was short, I felt satisfied after playing it. I wasn't hoping for something extra that wasn't there. Overall, incredible work. Please keep making gams because you are great at it.
Apr 27 03:34:41 10m 34s Dungeon Painter ♥ 1 I'm super impressed that you are 12 and managed to creat such a polished game! Please keep making games and learning new things because you are great at it. Here is what I really enjoyed: 1)The concept of this game was very innovative. You took a simple platformer game put an entirely new twist on it. 2)The tutorial was straighforward and way better than just reading instructions. I appreciate games that make learning the controls interesting, and you did a great job of that. Overall, the game felt polished and was super fun to play. I agree with @the-neon-shark that it feels a little too "zoomed out", but that can easily be fixed down the road if you decided you want to keep working on this game.
Apr 29 01:01:42 45h 27m Cookies Underground ♥ 1 Really well done visuals and music! I can see this being expanded with guards needing different disguises, or maybe different props having different movement. well done :)
Apr 29 01:12:35 10m 53s Sea of Lies ♥ 1 Love the message of this game, and dashing felt really good! I was a little hard to read the text boxes of the enemies, but I appreciated the red marker of where they were off screen (really nice touch). Great work!
Apr 29 01:25:47 13m 12s Lunar Laundry ♥ 1 man what a cool art style, I'm a sucker for monochrome! I would have rather the speed up/down be toggle-able (instead of needing to hold the buttons down), but that's probably just because I was using my laptop. Also I agree some sound effects and music would really go a long way. Great job!
Apr 29 01:42:40 16m 53s Tetra Rogue ♥ 1 Tricky but rewarding gameplay! It took me a couple of games to get to a tie, but I think this is more my fault then an game imbalance haha. One thing that would be nice is if there was some sort of indication for the currently selected unit. I'm also impressed by the opponent AI. Overall great job!
Apr 30 01:55:33 24h 12m Unsigned Hero ♥ 0 I liked how the strategy changed the more monsters were on the screen. I could totally see this expanded with other monster types, different visuals, ect. also it may have taken me way to long to find the alternate ending... fun to see another pico8 user, great job!
