| Apr 27 04:23:51 | Journey To The Center Of The World | ♥ 2 | Very cool! A great example of a simple premise turned into a great game through sheer polish. I love the visual aesthetics here, and I also liked how getting closer to the center of the Earth made your heat gauge more problematic. Very nice attention to detail! I would have liked it if the gauges would warn me when they're about to deplete though. As it stands right now, I was both surprised and confused when I saw my first game over screen, because I wasn't even aware how close I was to failing. Other than that though, this is a fun, solid experience. I can see it playing well on phones, too! | |
| Apr 27 04:42:08 | 18m 17s | Foundations | ♥ 1 | Oh hello, my deepest darkest fears, glad I get to contend with you once again! I love it when entries get personal like this. The themes and narrative presented here are very well done, and do an excellent job of representing the slow mental deterioration of a character. Honestly, I think the only thing holding this game back right now is its slightly simplistic gameplay. Walk to a place and hit a button to progress the story is well and good, but I can see so much more opportunity for mechanical and visual storytelling here that could really make the player feel what the character is feeling. Lost, confused, doubtful of what they're seeing or remembering, etc. I certainly don't fault the game as it stands for this, though. You absolutely pulled this off the best way you could've given the time constraints of the jam. I guess all I'm saying is that I'd love for this concept to be expanded on. :) Very nicely done!! |
| Apr 27 04:55:05 | 12m 57s | Go to Heck π | ♥ 0 | The procedurally generated levels really surprised me, very nice! I also loved how satisfying it was to control the character. The gun was super punchy and the grappling hook felt intuitive and fun to mess around with on its own. I do wish that the gun packed a little bit more of a punch damage-wise as it did visually, though. As it stands, it takes forever to kill a single enemy, and I didn't notice any sort of reward for getting kills, so I usually just opted to grapple hook out of danger instead (which was definitely fun in it's own right!) This would be neat to see expanded upon, nice job! |
| Apr 27 21:30:37 | 16h 35m | The Crystal Cavern | ♥ 1 | High score 101!! I'll be honest, that "you got hit" sound effect genuinely makes me jump every time I hear it, haha. A very good "punishing" sound for messing up, but maybe a bit too loud? π I like the nice simple concept here though, and the difficulty curve fit really well. I'm curious how this game would change if you added more lanes to switch through? Definitely some room for expansion here in the future. π |
| Apr 27 21:44:25 | 13m 48s | Fore! | ♥ 1 | This is a fun little brain bender game. π Seems like a fun game to play a little bit each day to keep yourself sharp! Despite the simple premise, you do a lot of things to mix it up and throw a wrench in the player's plans. Stuff like forcing them to use big numbers, use X number of operations, etc. I'm a big fan of this one! |
| Apr 27 22:05:07 | 20m 42s | Ocean Diver | ♥ 1 | The audio on this one is top-notch. π I dig the underwater ambiance. Overall the game is very relaxing. π I do think that the map is maybe a liiiiiiittle too wide though? Going back and forth took a lot of time, and I felt like I had experienced everything in the game after the first treasure or two. I don't fault the game for that though, given the time constraints. I can definitely see this expanded in the future!! Looking forward to see where you take this. |
| Apr 29 03:01:27 | 28h 56m | Deepest Sword | ♥ 0 | Very very excellent idea executed with some top-notch polish! My only complaint is that the last level made me want to tear my hair out. π I can absolutely see this being expanded into a full experience! |
| May 2 04:28:32 | 73h 27m | Ski Trip | ♥ 3 | [Apologies for the technical difficulties at the beginning of the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=00h00m00s) π Once again, y'all knocked it out of the park with this one. Not only are the visuals and music top-notch, but the whole game as a package is very tight and cohesive. No idea how y'all managed to crank this out in a single weekend, but I'd be worried about whoever you owe your soul to to make it happen. |
| May 2 04:32:02 | 3m 30s | Deep Sea Trip | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=00h30m06s) Glad we were able to crack the top 10 (for however briefly, I'm sure). This game was a lot of fun. It was surprising how much being able to move your sub and turret simultaneously added to the complexity. I still maintain that the swordfish were a liiiiiiiittle too thin to be fair, but maybe I just suck. π |
| May 2 04:35:25 | 3m 23s | MineSystem | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=00h48m39s) Sorry things get a little wild during this. That tends to happen when we play idle games. Hopefully it comes across just how much fun we had with this one! All-in-all a very solid idle game. Only critique might be adding some visuals to make it feel like your making progress a lot more obviously. Other than that, this was a fun little timekiller. :) |
| May 2 04:37:53 | 2m 28s | One-Butt Alien Corridor | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=01h09m48s) I actually had a lot of fun with this one. The mechanic is super unique, and is tricky enough to where I feel like I can get good with it with practice. Only complaint I remember mentioning was some better indications of where I'm aiming, and who I'm currently controlling from a UI perspective. Other than that, I really like the core mechanic, and I can see myself coming back to this in the future! |
| May 2 04:41:02 | 3m 09s | Rex's Wizardspace | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=01h28m38s) Sorry for the technical issues early on. Glad we were able to get it sorted out. All-in-all I like the premise here. Shame you didn't have time to complete the full experience, but that shouldn't stop you from trying! There's a lot of really cool foundation here. Would be very interested to see where you take this to evolve it into a complete game. The playground itself is fun enough, which means it's a very promising start! π |
| May 2 04:46:18 | 5m 16s | Vast Trivia Of The Void | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=01h49m07s) Yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaahhh, Immana have to ask y'all to stop making all of us other LD participants look bad. The quality, quantity, and polish y'all bring to the table every Jam is insane, and this one's no exception. I think my favorite little detail is the character select screen. I'm an absolute sucker for cosmetic stuff like that. If I had one criticism, it might be that it seemed like there was always a lot of stuff going on at once. Maybe it's just my ADHD talking, but I had a hard time remembering I even had cards to play to help me out, as well as a time bonus if I managed to answer the question quickly enough... All that being said, this was such a joy to play, and I can definitely see myself coming back to it again in the future. Congrats again on another solid entry. π |
| May 2 06:08:15 | 1h 21m | Stolen Time | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=02h18m42s) Sorry I managed to break it in such a spectacular fashion. π I like the core concept you have going on here. The idea that interactions you can have in the past can influence how things look in the future is very Chrono Trigger-esque. Only criticism I can think of is making it clearer to the player how the controls work. I probably would have had a hard time learning that I had to hold the buttons down to travel to different times, as there isn't any immediate feedback that anything's happening. Other than that though, I say you have a very solid experience here. π |
| May 2 06:11:40 | 3m 25s | Curiosity | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=02h46m26s) Double-drill meta OP. π π I had a lot of fun with this one once I got the hang of it. This was a nice all-around experience with plenty of room for improvement. Would love to see where you take it if you decide to expand on it further. :) |
| May 2 06:15:28 | 3m 48s | Deeper and Deeper a Self Care Journey | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting this to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=03h09m14s) Sorry we're so bad at meditating. π I'm always a fan when people get experimental with LD games, and this was no exception. We need more interactive experiences like this to spark some inspiration in people. :) Nice job! |
| May 2 06:18:05 | 2m 37s | Soaring Under | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=03h31m03s) Once again, you have made something that revels in crushing my soul and making me look like a fool. And yet for some reason, I still come to enjoy it. π It's super impressive how you were able to make such a nice-sounding, nice-looking, nice-playing game solo in a single weekend. Mad props to you, sir! |
| May 2 06:21:54 | 3m 49s | Scatter Gold | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=03h49m36s) Man, you really burned me with some of those level design choices π I had a lot of fun with this one though! I have a soft-spot for difficult platformers, and this one scratched that itch perfectly. |
| May 2 06:24:58 | 3m 04s | Frog | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting this to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=04h09m45s) I just straight-up loved this, full-stop. The art, the sounds, the unique gameplay, this is all one super impressive package. The only thing holding this entry back from being a full-fledged "I would pay money for this" game is more levels, which is hardly a criticism considering this was made in a weekend. Super super impressive stuff here! |
| May 2 06:27:00 | 2m 02s | SlappyBird | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=04h22m36s) I hope you were able to tolerate our shenanigans π I actually really enjoyed this one. I was worried that combining attacking with Flappy Bird controls (especially in 3D) would feel really awkward, but this was surprisingly fluid and felt very satisfying to pull off. I'll definitely be coming back to this one to complete it soon. π |
| May 2 06:31:12 | 4m 12s | Hellevator | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006873415?t=04h40m44s) What a great one to end the night on! This was a super polished experience with such a neat concept to boot. I think my only criticism is that I only ever really cared about demons that were spawning on the bottom-right portion of the screen. Since very few things ever spawned in the middle (except near the end), I could stay there safely almost all of the time, which meant that the demons that spawned on the left wall were rarely, if ever, a concern for me. Still, all of that being said, I had a blast with this one. Stellar job here! π |
| May 3 01:14:55 | 18h 43m | ROOTS | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=00h11m30s) This was a ridiculously polished entry, especially for a compo. I wish that I had some more time to get better at it...I'll almost definitely come back to this one later! Speed meta = best meta π |
| May 3 01:18:14 | 3m 19s | Deep down the asteroid | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=00h36m26s) This was a fun one to mess around with and try for the high score. Would be nice if you could add some post-jam audio to make the game pop a bit more, but everything else from the art to the concept to the programming was solid. Nice job! π |
| May 3 01:20:31 | 2m 17s | Goblin Heist | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=00h48m29s) I will return for this high score, you mark my words. I love this weird genre of turn-based stealth. Feels like a mix between Crypt of the Necrodancer and Thief, which is pretty awesome! Definitely a unique concept to me. :) |
| May 3 01:22:52 | 2m 21s | Penguins can't fly | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=01h05m52s) This game broke me mentally...and I think that's what I liked about it? I could definitely feel myself getting better the more I played, but I'm still a far cry from some OTHER high score chasers out there... >.> |
| May 3 01:25:55 | 3m 03s | Push Stack | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting this to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=01h28m27s) I think you have a REALLY cool nugget of a game here! The boys and I lost our minds when we discovered how to interact with the stack UI. That was a really awesome twist. A big challenge with puzzle games is designing levels that are both easy for the player to understand but also challenging for them to figure out. I think if you spent some time really refining how you communicate your mechanics to the player, a larger group of people could really get a kick out of this one! |
| May 3 01:30:50 | 4m 55s | Pescuit Pe PlajΔ | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=01h51m58s) This was a nice little relaxing entry. Sorry we ended up going on a lot of random tangents as we played. π The art is super relaxing though, and the premise is simple enough where you kind of lose track of time while you're playing...nice job! |
| May 3 01:34:12 | 3m 22s | Lucky Lefty Loves Leftovers | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=02h08m00s) This one was a super fun one to mess around with. π The escalating pizzalanche was super satisfying to pull off, and the entire premise itself was absurd and hilarious. I can't say I *completely* understood how the character moved (how I managed to launch myself so high sometimes, for example), but weirdly that added to the chaos and fun of the game. π Long Live Lucky Lefty! π |
| May 3 01:37:39 | 3m 27s | N.E.R.D.S | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=02h35m20s) Very nicely done here. Y'all were able to crank out a fairly complicated game with a lot of moving parts while also keeping your scope small enough to create a fun, easy-to-understand experience. I liked that the different bars depleted at different rates, which helped me decide what should be prioritized, and what I could afford to miss out on. Congrats on your first completed game!! |
| May 3 01:40:53 | 3m 14s | Boombox | ♥ 4 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=02h55m14s) This game was straight-up bananas. I love the energy going on here, from the crazy premise to the hectic animations and sound effects, the presentation here is top-notch. π I do think the randomly-generated boxes could use a little tweaking to make the player encounter new mechanics earlier on in the experience, but other than that, this was an absolutely rock-solid entry. Awesome job!! |
| May 3 01:44:53 | 4m 00s | Depths of Mind | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=03h10m14s) This came across as a very personal project, which I always love to see in LD entries! The premise was simple enough, and the art really brought everything to life. I do think that some of the sound effect mixing was a little off, and really hurt my ears at some points, but other than that, this was a very solid experience. π |
| May 3 01:48:07 | 3m 14s | PANEMUAN | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=03h33m11s) I'm always a fan of when creators inject their own personal stories into their games. Very nicely done! I will say that I likely would have never encountered the "good ending" if I didn't have your guiding me step-by-step, though. I would recommend making it easier for the player to discover if it's really important to you for them to see that message. Otherwise, I can see a lot of players thinking this is a downer game that traps the player in a loop of sadness. βΉοΈ Of course, that's not the point of the game, so I'm hoping as many people as possible get to experience the game how you intended them to! |
| May 3 01:50:31 | 2m 24s | PΓ’querette Down the Bunburrow | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=03h52m36s) This game was endlessly charming, from the art to the music to the premise itself. I'm a sucker for simple to learn but hard to master puzzle games like this. It's not easy to design puzzles that are both easy to parse but challenging to figure out, but I'd say you nailed it here. I might just have to come back to this one for some baby bunnies! |
| May 3 01:54:02 | 3m 31s | βNyctophobia | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=04h16m16s) You don't see too many top-down horror games these days, so this was an awesome surprise! You really nailed the atmosphere with the visuals and the audio. Sorry it ended up looking so dark on stream! βΉοΈ If I could make one suggestion, it would be great if the attack button was mapped to a different key. If I wanted to attack, I had to either take my hand off of WASD, or take my hand off the mouse in order to hit V so that I could move around and attack in quick succession. Other than that though, I'm blown away by the quality here! |
| May 3 01:57:09 | 3m 07s | Crust | ♥ 4 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=04h41m23s) What an absolutely solid experience. The audio, graphics, and gameplay are all top-notch here. I could totally seeing this developed into a full experience that leans into the speedrunner community. Very nicely done! π |
| May 3 02:03:42 | 6m 33s | Rooted | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=04h53m55s) This one actually felt super novel. Once I got the hang of what I was doing it turned into a really interesting brain-teaser! I think with a little more time dedicated to communicating how to play to the player, this could turn a great expanded experience! |
| May 3 02:19:50 | 16m 08s | The power of the deep | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=05h09m06s) This was a fun little experience, and we had a good time trying to complete it as fast as we could π It would be nice if there were some kind of way to tell when the next level was coming, but other than that I had no problems with this one. π |
| May 3 02:22:29 | 2m 39s | Dig World | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=05h18m22s) Needless to say, we all had a blast with this one. π I'm glad we could get so many people playing at once! The character customizer was a really nice touch, and I love how players were able to create some pretty neat secret areas with the mechanics. This is some seriously impressive work! |
| May 3 02:25:44 | 3m 15s | R.O.B.t. | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting this game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=05h52m20s) So glad we were able to get this running on stream! This was a super charming little experience with some top-notch visuals and gameplay. I love the personality on this one. π |
| May 3 02:29:11 | 3m 27s | Low Notes | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=06h11m14s) Rhythm games are my weakness, so this one instantly grabbed me. I love the unique interface you got going on here. It's both visually and mechanically super interesting! You've already made some serious improvements to the game already in your post-jam version, I noticed. I'm super interested to see where else you plan to take this one! |
| May 3 02:32:45 | 3m 34s | Planet LD48B | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=06h24m45s) This was clearly a super ambitious project, and I'm honestly floored at how much you all were able to pack into such a short period of time. I plan to play y'all's post-jam version the next time I get the chance, and given what you guys were telling me you updated, it sounds like it will be one hell of a game once I get to it. π Godspeed, you talented people! |
| May 3 02:36:32 | 3m 47s | blank | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007626304?t=06h43m09s) This was a super solid entry! The controls and visuals were super juicy, and although it was a little difficult to move around at first, I very quickly felt like I was improving, and I felt like I could pull of some pretty sweet maneuvers. π Very nice job with this one!! |
| May 10 21:16:16 | 186h 39m | Deep Dungeon Tactics | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=00h13m53s) You definitely nailed the Fire Emblem aesthetic here! I do kind of wish I would get some confirmations (or even be able to undo) my mistakes before I commit to them, but I guess that's half the challenge, haha. |
| May 10 21:18:08 | 1m 52s | HELL deep is your love? | ♥ 5 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=00h48m59s) I'm a big fan of "tough platformers" so this was right up my alley. π So sad that I wasn't able to finish it on stream. I'll try to come back to it later to finish it off!! |
| May 10 21:20:43 | 2m 35s | Let's Go Deeper | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=01h13m42s) I don't think I ever experienced more suffering and loss than I did during that "To Be Continued..." π As I mentioned in the VOD, I'm a big fan of this one. π I could easily see myself killing a bunch of time on this, if given the opportunity. A classic simple premise polished to a T, very nicely done!! |
| May 10 21:24:01 | 3m 18s | Highly Successful Research Submarine | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=01h44m26s) This was a ridiculously ambitious project! I really like how it all came together. I got weirdly excited whenever I saw a new fish, and I love that rather than just being models projected onto a 2D screen, they could actually be closer and further away from the camera. Really excellent work here! |
| May 10 21:28:06 | 4m 05s | loading... | ♥ 0 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=02h21m46s) Y'all really have a talent for crafting an atmosphere and mood. I reeeeeaaaallly enjoyed this one, for sure. I was DEEPLY uncomfortable when I futilely attempted to navigate the vastness of space after my vision was taken away. It's one of my biggest irrational nightmares, and y'all captured the helplessness of that so well. Very impressive job here. I always have a soft spot for entries that are more "experiences" than games, and I feel like y'all absolutely nailed this one. Excellent work. π |
| May 10 21:32:24 | 4m 18s | Derpy Deep Drive | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=03h09m48s) Sorry my computer is too potato to run any Unreal games, but I'm glad we got it working on stream! This game is super pretty, and I love all the visual flair you were able to pack into this one. I can definitely see this being expanded by adding additional obstacles and tracks and whatnot. :) |
| May 10 21:40:33 | 8m 09s | The Discloser | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=03h33m39s) This was pure unadulterated madness. I had a blast playing this one once I figured out how to do everything. I think the game could stand to have a better onboarding/tutorial experience, but once you get into the groove, things get wild really fast. Excellent job on this one!! |
| May 10 21:43:12 | 2m 39s | Surface Level | ♥ 2 | [Thank u 4 submit game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=04h26m21s) I really liked the arcade-y feel of this one. This game just oozes retro style and I dig it completely. I think my only bit of criticism was perhaps making the grinds easier to execute, but that's about it. Once you get into the zone, this game is a blast. π |
| May 10 21:45:56 | 2m 44s | Marbellion | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=04h41m45s) This game was just mesmerizing to look at. I also have a soft-spot for Super Monkey Ball, so this one was right up my alley. I think if you can just fix the issue with the camera rotation getting locked after moving it too much in one direction, you'll have an awesome base of a game to expand on! π |
| May 10 21:49:26 | 3m 30s | Depths of Fear | ♥ 0 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=05h01m27s) It's kind of crazy you were able to get all of this done solo in a weekend. Not only are there a lot of interworking mechanics/enemy AIs, but there's also an impressive output of assets to set the stage for everything. On top of that, the narrative seems to be deeply personal as well. I'm always a fan when entries "dig deep" and try to tell a meaningful story. It's really difficult to pull off, but it's always worth the extra effort. Very nice job! |
| May 10 21:53:44 | 4m 18s | Rabbit Rappel | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=05h19m40s) I loved playing around with this one. It was a super novel concept, and although it was a bit confusing at first, once I got into a groove it felt super satisfying! I love the way the music evolves when you get closer to enemies. I think with a little balancing with the difficulty curve and checkpoints, this could be come a really cool full experience! |
| May 10 21:56:40 | 2m 56s | Red Archer | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015053228?t=05h42m53s) Glad we could finally get around to playing it with you in the chat! π This game was surprisingly fun to just mess around in. Normally I don't really enjoy 3D first-person traversal, but the way all of the mechanics seemed to work together on this one made it endlessly fun to just zip around and kill everything without touching the floor. I'm extra impressed that you were able to do all of this by yourself as well. Mad jealous of your skills. π |
| May 12 20:48:47 | 46h 52m | Diggurai | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=00h09m21s) This game has a nice foundation to it. π I do think that the difficulty could use a little tuning to be more "fair" without compromising the challenging nature you were going for, but I don't usually blame jam games for things like that since you had so little time to put everything together. Nice job! |
| May 12 20:51:05 | 2m 18s | Dikes & Polders | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=00h26m59s) This is hands down one of my favorites I've encountered this jam so far. The level of polish on this one is top-notch, and the concept is simple enough for me to get into while also being deep enough for me to feel like I was improving every time I played. I can absolutely see myself coming back to this one, and I hope y'all continue to work on this in the future! |
| May 12 20:53:55 | 2m 50s | MINOTOAD | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=00h49m30s) I'm a sucker for isometric dungeon crawlers, and this was no exception. π It's crazy what you were able to push out in such a short amount of time. A real testament to a tight scope and a polished idea. Congrats on this one!! |
| May 12 20:56:46 | 2m 51s | Blackout | ♥ 5 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=01h14m08s) This game was absolutely wild. The audio, visuals, narrative, and everything about this game was top-notch. I do with I had an in-game cursor that told me what was and wasn't interactive, but that's such a small complaint compared to everything else you all managed to accomplish with this one. Nice job!! |
| May 12 20:59:54 | 3m 08s | Nefarious Dive | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on our stream last weekend!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=01h40m55s) Sorry for the absolute chaos that ensued during this part of the stream. π Overall, I liked this one. I feel like the upgrades could be doled out a little quicker, but otherwise this was a solid game! |
| May 12 21:03:19 | 3m 25s | Redtape | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=01h55m38s) I'm so sorry I wasn't able to finish it on stream! π But I really really enjoyed the humor and aesthetic of this one! I really haven't seen any other entry look like this, and add the clever writing on top of it, and you've got a solid entry right here! Really enjoyed this one. π |
| May 12 21:05:30 | 2m 11s | Lie or Die | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=02h14m28s) This game was as hilarious as it was stressful. π I loved the abject goofiness of it! I do think it requires the player to be a little TOO perfect, but as an overall experience, this was a super fun one to play multiple times. π |
| May 12 21:08:57 | 3m 27s | Deeply Organic | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=02h34m11s) This one was downright hilarious! It's pretty crazy how much y'all were able to crank out in a weekend with this one. Also, I found the movie I was talking about, see I'm not crazy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO5E4wkg0hA But yes, well done here! π |
| May 12 21:11:20 | 2m 23s | The Shrinking | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=02h57m46s) This one was downright gorgeous. I love the mood y'all were able to set with this one. Absolutely top-notch work here. π |
| May 12 21:13:44 | 2m 24s | Swab the Deck! | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=03h11m29s) It's honestly crazy how much is going on with this game, considering it was just made in a weekend. Y'all cranked out some stellar work here. I remember you guys mentioning that you were planning on expanding on this, and I hope you do! It seems like a very promising concept. π |
| May 12 21:17:03 | 3m 19s | Fallumns | ♥ 2 | [You made me lose my mind on stream, and I thank you for it](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=03h29m06s) This was such an awesome surprise. It's not often that I see a game with such solid narrative progression like this (if you want to call it "narrative"). Surprises like this are risky, but when they pay off it can be the coolest thing in the world. This was just excellent all around, nice job! |
| May 12 21:19:58 | 2m 55s | Logistics Boy | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=03h50m23s) I loved the surprise with this one! Y'all did such a convincing job making it look like an accurate Game-and-Watch game, which made the twist into a more modern experience all the more sastisfying. Well done! |
| May 12 21:24:40 | 4m 42s | Freg, Fregg, and Freggy: The Last Band | ♥ 1 | [Glad we were able to make this happen on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=04h18m45s) Once again, y'all's games have an undeniable charm. The unique mechanics, wonderful art, and bumpin' music all tie this together into a wonderful little package. I think given a little more time you could tighten up the player onboarding/tutorial (making the tooltips appear on hover instead of drag, for example), but that's just a minor complaint compared to the overall experience. Looking forward to seeing where you guys take this if you decide to expand on it! (PS: Congrats on being the only Unreal game that I was able to successfully run on my dumpy computer! π ) |
| May 12 21:28:40 | 4m 00s | HyperJack | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=04h46m23s) I'm honestly super impressed with this one. The concept is super simple and yet super polished and fun to play around with, even without the game rules that it's wrapped around. On top of that, the art is super cute and charming. AND you did this all by yourself in a weekend? Now that's some talent right there. Well done! |
| May 12 21:32:08 | 3m 28s | GLUB | ♥ 0 | [So glad we were able to get this working on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=05h03m31s) I love how much personality was packed into this one. π It practically seems impossible to play without smiling the whole time. Very nicely done with this one! |
| May 12 21:34:24 | 2m 16s | The Hookmarine | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=05h18m12s) This game is Miniclip incarnate, and I love it. π I really like how difficult it seemed at first, but I legit could feel my skill growing the more I played it. It's reaaaaallly tough to pull off those "tough but fair" games, but I feel like this one nails it. Definitely one of my favorites for sure! |
| May 12 21:37:42 | 3m 18s | Ludum Dare News Network | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=05h31m18s) Now this is just the kind of goofiness that is right up our alley. π Such a nice simple premise squeezed for every drop of humor it's worth. I love how you encourage players to get extra goofy with it by rewarding points based on how "deep" they go. Really awesome work here. π |
| May 12 21:40:28 | 2m 46s | Infiltr8 | ♥ 1 | [Thank you for breaking my brain at the end of stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=05h52m09s) Honestly, this game was ridiculously cool. Both from a technical perspective and an artistic perspective, I was all-around impressed. That last level was a wonderful escalation into chaos. π This truly is one of the most underrated gems I've played for this jam. Very nice job with this one! |
| May 13 01:02:41 | 3h 22m | River, Carry Me Away | ♥ 2 | Now that was just plain lovely. π I loooooooooooove the audio/visuals going on here, especially with how the track layers over itself as you progress the story. I did find there was a bit of a disconnect between the gameplay and the story, though. It mostly just felt like a "click to progress plot" mechanic, and I feel like there could be more opportunity to connect with the player if their actions more directly tied to what was happening in the story. But that's some super abstract stuff I'm asking for (and I'm not even sure what it would look like). I guess what I'm trying to say is that I loved this, and I would love even more to see it expanded upon. π |
| May 13 01:08:06 | 5m 25s | Dwarfer Moleman | ♥ 0 | **Y I P P I E** I'm a big fan of the character designs here. π And the "yippies" definitely made me laugh (until the last one got me spooked!) Nice job! |
| May 13 01:15:56 | 7m 50s | Aftermath | ♥ 1 | Neat little game! Much darker than the usual fare here, for sure. Pretty impressive you were able to cobble together 4 different endings in a single weekend! |
| May 13 01:19:42 | 3m 46s | Substate | ♥ 1 | I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally like the potential here. I can totally see this getting expanded into wider "substates" with different interactions to accomplish a goal. A pretty creative mechanic overall, nice job! |
| May 13 01:29:38 | 9m 56s | Adventure in Socksland | ♥ 2 | Not refilling at least a little bit of your light battery when you clear a level is a bit cruel... π I died a buuuuunch because of that. Other than that though, this game was super neat! Loads of personality, and a fun little puzzle mechanic to boot~ All-in-all, I enjoyed this one a lot! |
| May 13 01:35:59 | 6m 21s | Kira's Flower Delivery | ♥ 1 | This one's got some styyyyyle π I think the rhythm aspect is a biiiiiiiiiit wonky, but to be fair, rhythm games are really hard to implement in a single weekend. I really enjoyed the beat that went along with it though. π Would love to see this expanded upon! |
| May 17 05:33:27 | 99h 57m | Adelie - Rolling in the Deep | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023084119?t=00h06m54s) This is a super impressive compo entry. The art is absolutely adorable! I'm glad I had enough time to play the bonus level and final boss! π |
| May 17 05:36:46 | 3m 19s | Beepo's Shop | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=00h06m11s) I really enjoyed the charm of this one! There a lot of tiny bits of polish in this one that really come together to make the game feel super enjoyable to play. Maybe if I was a little less dumb I could have beaten the game in a much more efficient manner, but I ended up surviving anyway! π |
| May 17 05:42:49 | 6m 03s | Tooth Toss | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=01h40m55s) Absolutely top-notch work with this one. Everything, from the music, to the visuals, to the concept were excellent. Also, here's a completely unrelated picture of my suffering: pain.png |
| May 17 05:45:32 | 2m 43s | Prof. Jones' Trench Research Mission | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream over the weekend!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=02h02m23s) I really like the vibe of this one. :) Reminds me of Pokemon Snap if it happened on a Disney ride. Pretty nuts you were able to crank out all of the art and coding by yourself in a weekend. Would love to see this taken further! |
| May 17 05:54:47 | 9m 15s | Deep Sea Phishing | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=00h28m32s) I really enjoyed the polish on this one! It's not often you see a jam game with such a well-defined beginning, middle, and end. Honestly it felt like y'all had all the time in the world to make this, which is awesome! π |
| May 17 05:58:16 | 3m 29s | Super Turtle Drop | ♥ 0 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=00h52m40s) Sorry for exposing an exploit live on stream. :P I actually super enjoyed this one! The amount of personality and crunchiness you were able to pack into the gameplay was downright impressive. I can totally see this getting expanded in some really cool ways (similar to all of the ideas you were bringing up in chat). Awesome job! π |
| May 17 06:03:03 | 4m 47s | Stairway to Silence | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting this to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=01h18m35s) I'm downright shocked you were in the Danger Zone when we played this. This was a super novel yet simple concept that was a blast to learn and get better at. It's pretty much exactly what I look for in a well-designed game. And with such awesome visuals and sound design as well, you've got yourself a jealous dev over here. π€ |
| May 17 06:05:27 | 2m 24s | Power Station Beta | ♥ 0 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=01h44m41s) Sorry we couldn't catch ya while you were in chat. π We actually had quite a bit of fun with this one, hope you enjoy us messing around. π |
| May 17 06:08:12 | 2m 45s | Boris with a crazy dream | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=02h10m39s) You be straight flexin' on all of us making this with one hand, mad respect. I loved the aesthetic of this one. π Also...B R U H |
| May 17 06:10:23 | 2m 11s | Deepest Dungeon | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=02h44m23s) There's some seriously impressive tech going on here! I loved how the minimap populated, and I think you could do some really neat things with it if you design a few more rooms to procedurally generate. π |
| May 17 06:13:25 | 3m 02s | Into the Deep Web | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=04h02m10s) I loved just how packed with charm this little game was. π I had to double-check to make sure this was a compo game, lol. It's pretty crazy how much you were able to crank out this weekned! |
| May 17 06:17:16 | 3m 51s | Downer Diver | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to our stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=03h10m24s) This was just downright adorable. π The premise was nice and simple, which allowed me to appreciate the art and the little things (like the bubbles coming out of the snorkel) a lot more. ^.^ Nice job, and gratz on the compo submission! π |
| May 18 06:29:42 | 24h 12m | DeeperMiner | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=00h39m55s) Sorry we got...a bit absurd with the audio. π Please for the love of god, add screenshots of your game to the game page! This game looks gorgeous, and it wouldn't be hard for you guys to show it off! |
| May 18 06:32:33 | 2m 51s | Stranded on planet zod | ♥ 0 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=00h59m23s) Very nice job here! You really nailed the Metroidvania aesthetic here. I weirdly loved how the jetpack didn't have any cap on it. Would be interesting to see how levels could be designed to better accommodate that so I'm not able to just Kirby around the map π Really awesome job here! |
| May 18 06:35:05 | 2m 32s | Sheep Deeper | ♥ 0 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=01h23m28s) This game drove us all insane, as you'll probably see in the VOD. Our working memory is......definitely something wanting. π I think a more clear tutorial in-game would have gone a long way, but we eventually figured it out! ...Didn't help us and our melting brains though... π |
| May 18 06:42:15 | 7m 10s | Snoopin Around | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=02h21m16s) I like the unique gameplay here! It was surprisingly stressful despite being so simple. I can totally see this being expanded with some more depth in the future. π |
| May 18 06:44:48 | 2m 33s | The Ragdoll Pit | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023138450?t=02h31m42s) We got REALLY into this one. Despite being such a simple concept, it was a blast just to watch these hilarious ragdolls tumble their way down the pit. This is classic mindless fun, and I am so here for it. π |
| May 18 06:47:05 | 2m 17s | Deep Tweet | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=00h08m12s) We may have gotten a little...goofy with this one. π But to be fair, this was a wonderfully goofy game! A nice simple concept with a lot of style and personality, well done! |
| May 18 06:50:25 | 3m 20s | slide! | ♥ 2 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=02h29m00s) It took us quite a bit of time to figure out what was going on with this game, but the twist on the rhythm genre was pretty neat! Nice job with this one. π |
| May 18 06:52:52 | 2m 27s | Aero-SpΓ©lΓ©o | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=02h56m10s) I definitely see some speedrun potential here! The hitboxes felt a bit wonky here and there, but overall this was a super solid experience. Well done! |
| May 18 06:54:34 | 1m 42s | Investigate | ♥ 0 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=03h20m25s) I like the idea you're going for here, but I couldn't 100% grasp what my actions were doing all of the time. Still, I understood enough to be able to reliably win, which was fun to learn. I also really enjoyed the art with this one, and the fact that each "suspect" was unique with their interests and whatnot. Nice job! |
| May 18 06:57:16 | 2m 42s | DigTD | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=03h34m47s) This was a super unique concept, and even though it didn't have much of an end-state, I enjoyed trying to survive as long as I could. I didn't *quite* understand what the best strategy was for avoiding those pesky wasps, as I felt I was laying traps as often as I could, but I think if I spent a bit more time with it, I'd be able to figure it out. π |
| May 18 06:59:50 | 2m 34s | Bucket Head | ♥ 1 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=03h47m27s) This game is just oozing personality and style. The bucket mechanic was also super unique, though it could use a little more polish with regards to ease of use (particularly when dumping rocks down to make platforms). All-in-all, I had a lot of fun with this one! |
| May 18 07:02:22 | 2m 32s | Torch Runner | ♥ 0 | [We played your game on stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1023830637?t=04h12m46s) This game was just downright adorable. I especially loved the little hair bobs on the character as she moved. π Sorry we got a little sidetracked with tangents while we played. π From what I could tell, I wasn't able to find any end-state? Regardless, this was a nice, peaceful romp to end our day with. π |
| May 18 07:39:26 | 37m 04s | Callous | ♥ 1 | What a twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist at the end! I really appreciated how you ended this. π The art in this one was absolutely gorgeous, and a super neat way to represent the inner workings of one's mind. The game did run a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle slow on WebGL, but I'm glad I was able to stick it out and see this through to the end. Also, it took me a while to figure out there were rocks I could pick up. Maybe making them easier to spot (especially in lighter backgrounds) would be a good idea. Overall though, this was a really stellar entry, excellent job!! |
| May 18 19:06:28 | 11h 27m | The Endless Void | ♥ 0 | Fun little take on Super Hexagon. :) I do think my character's collider is a *bit* too big, which resulted in some unfortunate deaths, but I like how the music got more layers added onto it as I got further! |
| May 18 19:24:40 | 18m 12s | Physician, Heal Thy Elf | ♥ 1 | So glad I decided to play again to discover what happens when I run out of time. π This was a fun little game! And the art is downright adorable as always. I do kind of wish that the gameplay would evolve a bit more as you progressed in the levels, but I still enjoyed the gameplay loop of finding a crop of gemstones and clearing them out. π Nice job! |
| May 18 19:51:46 | 27m 06s | Reel Deep | ♥ 1 | I absolutely adored this. This has got to be one of my favorites of the jam. I love how elegant the design is here, and how it seems like y'all managed to think of everything. The ability to turn off power-ups like the magnet when they're no longer needed, loading the bottom of the sea with additional treasures to make the trip back up more manageable, all of it. And that's to say nothing of the fantastic audio and visuals on display here! I'm quite simply blown away. Phenomenal job here! |
