Apr 27 00:11:46		Crazy Fishing	♥ 0	Love how simple the game starts out and then gets harder the longer you play it. I almost wish there was a way to get lives or a defense against the garbage in return for collecting fish so that I could survive the game longer.
Apr 27 00:59:55	48m 09s	Abyssal Secrets	♥ 1	I really like the exploration aspect of the game and that I can take my time exploring without a time limit. I like the mood of the game as well and it's thrill to encounter new enemies even though they'll probably kill me lol. To give some contructive feedback, I wish the background of the game and the shark enemy's art was not blurry. But I guess there could be something wrong with the online player or that my screen is too high of a resolution for it. I think if I could swimming a bit faster or restart from somewhere close to where I died, it would also make replaying the level more fun. All in all, gotta love deep water exploration!
Apr 27 01:11:33	11m 38s	Tomb of the Old Gods	♥ 1	The atmosphere is great, really gives you a foreboding feeling!
Apr 27 04:15:13	3h 03m	Eel With A Gun!	♥ 1	I never played a diagonal shooter before, quite the clever idea!
Apr 27 04:54:54	39m 41s	Deep Dish Delivery	♥ 2	The game looks amazing and thank you for posting puzzle solutions for people like me who aren't good at thinking outside the box lol.
Apr 27 05:28:38	33m 44s	Tropical Singer	♥ 1	The concept is over the top funny! I hope I never get held against my will to sing in real life lol.
Apr 28 05:17:28	23h 48m	Fish Slapping Simulator 2021	♥ 1	Love the humor and hope you didn't slap yourself too hard when making your slap sound effect :) It seems though that I can have Walter Wormington move offscreen and never be attacked by any fish there. Adding some boundaries to the game would pervent me and others from cheating. Overall a nice simple and funny game.
Apr 28 05:30:25	12m 57s	Enceladus Depths	♥ 1	Nice ambiance and mood you got going in this game. I also like how I can hold the spacebar to keep shooting rather than repeatedly hit it like I do to in most vertical shooters. After playing it awhile I cared more about surviving than I did about scoring points so I spent more time dodging than shooting. If you wanted to add some more challenge to the game, maybe add a penalty for not destroying certain objects that make it past your drone. You probably can't shoot down all enemies but it's just a thought. Nice game regardless :)
Apr 28 05:42:34	12m 09s	Snappy Word: Jellyfish Horizon	♥ 0	The visuals are good and the light rays shining through the water was a nice touch! I like that you can also take different paths depending on how deep you decide to go and it makes the game more re-playable. I would like more air bubbles at the start of the game though so that I could get farther without multiple tries. Overall good job getting this made. :)
Apr 28 06:13:48	31m 14s	Dive OS - LDJAM48	♥ 0	A lot of thought was put in this game and I love the way you represented the "Deep" human mind as a computer OS! I did run into an issue with one of the game's Dive challenges regarding "cigarettes". I got a pop up warning that I couldn't seem to press the "ok" button to. Perhaps it was intentional or I didn't understand the instructions else where in the game but that was my only issue I can mention. Overall fantastic idea and great execution otherwise. Hope you get some high ratings for it!
Apr 28 06:21:16	7m 28s	Scuba Diver	♥ 0	Doesn't seem to work on my old windows 7 laptop, but I guess it's too old to play this game. Hope others enjoy it regardless! From you screenshot I can say I like the pixel art on the fish :)
Apr 28 06:29:51	8m 35s	Miner Rescue	♥ 1	It's a fun and challenging game! My only issue was sometimes getting stuck on walls but it wasn't game breaking or anything. Nevertheless, good concept and execution of your game.
Apr 28 06:39:20	9m 29s	Digsite Simulator	♥ 1	Digsite.png Don't know if I'm cheating by just clicking around instead of dragging my mouse, but I guess judging from my screenshot it's not helping me find stuff. lol Love the concept for your game, it brings back memories from playing a certain Magic School Bus Dinousaur PC Game as a kid. Adding music is the only improvement suggestion I have.
Apr 28 06:58:16	18m 56s	Deep Dive	♥ 0	The flashlight flare is a great addition to the game's graphics and at first I thought that was the only thing it was for. Then I got to the darkest level and saw that flashlight is pretty vital to actually seeing things lol! I also love that level for having angler and viper fish swimming around, nice work on their sprite art!
Apr 28 07:03:35	5m 19s	To the Center of the Earth	♥ 1	The pixelated rotation of drill looks great and the shaking of the screen really added to the feeling your drilling into the earth! Nice detail on that. The warning sounds were a bit too high pitch for my ears but other than that the other sound effects were good. Nice work getting this done in 48 hours!
Apr 28 07:11:45	8m 10s	Harpoon Prototype	♥ 0	I could see this growing into something really fun, especially if you have a character that holds a harpoon gun and then takes down their enemies after he/she gets pulled towards them.
Apr 28 07:29:29	17m 44s	Deep Old Files	♥ 0	Very clever concept and execution of it. My only critique would be it would be great if the folders stayed on the ground once I "Slammed" them there with the coffee mug. It can be a little tedious to shake them down every time I open a folder then exit it in search for what I'm looking for. I liked the password idea too, I never tried out all the available passwords so that potential gives the game replay-ability if that was intended. Overall I love the games concept and think it could be expanded on if it was worked on more outside of the 48 hour dead line :)
Apr 28 07:37:20	7m 51s	LD48.DeepHunt	♥ 1	A nice short game with a bit of a twist near the end. I love how simple it is to pick and play and the checkpoints were much appreciated. Also the event leading up to the end made me smile in a morbid way lol. I liked it though, very clever and good job!
Apr 28 07:47:56	10m 36s	Treasure under the deep sea	♥ 1	I like the uplifting graphics and tune you have in this game! It can be a little tricky to tell if you're making much progress in the game by just going downwards, I can't help but feel I may be missing possible treasure on the left and right sides of the game level but my sub moves a little too slow for me to want to check. I guess that could be intentional. Overall, nice looking and sounding first game jam game, congrats on getting in done in 48 hours!
Apr 28 08:09:43	21m 47s	GLUB	♥ 0	I never clapped so much for my microphone. I guess you deserve a round of applause! 👏👏👏 Very innovative concept and I love the music and graphics.
May 2 04:40:15	92h 30m	Dive & Dig	♥ 1	Nice polished graphics and graphical effects and it's awesome that you made time to included a tutorial! I could see the game improving from more involved/complex gameplay since right now all I really can do is go downward while traversing between the diving area and drilling area over and over. Maybe to throw in a twist, the two areas could play/behave more differently or have unique things to watch out for. But seeing how you had only 48 hours to work with, adding unique mechanics between the two areas might have been too costly for time. Regardless, good job getting the game done and overall done well. :)
May 2 04:57:54	17m 39s	Mayan Dive	♥ 0	Congrats on your first submission to Ludum Dare! I like the pixel art character of your game and the easy to pick-up gameplay. While playing on the HTML5 version it seems I may have run into a bug or may not know what to do in order to progress beyond the first level of the game. When I go to what appears as an underwater doorway I cannot seem to enter by using any of the listed control keys on Itch. Shooting doesn't seem to be enabled either but I guess that might be because I haven't found an item I can use to shoot with? Overall, it's great you to see you made a game with exploration, your own art and audio in under 48 hours!
May 2 05:41:03	43m 09s	Bohris	♥ 0	Good gameplay and presentation! One thing I especially liked was that I could drill in any direction, not just downward like in other people's drilling games. This made it so I can go back for rewards I missed, and avoiding the lava makes for a good challenge. The game also became more fun as I got more upgrades as expected. Good job.
May 2 05:49:48	8m 45s	Dungeon Diver	♥ 0	I like that you can run past enemies in some areas, and might have no choice but to them fight them in others. I can definitely see the potential for speed running the game which is cool. I feel background music would have added to the atmosphere of the game, but the sound effects helped to make up for that.
May 2 05:56:44	6m 56s	What's in the Bottom?	♥ 1	I like your take on the whole deep sea fishing idea! I made a similar game for the COMPO but what I like about yours is that you have more fish varieties and can collect fish. Also the cast your line out part is a nice touch!
May 2 06:06:12	9m 28s	Clear Your Mind	♥ 1	It's a nice simple distraction for the mind indeed. The game is easy to understand and with added difficulty I could see people spending a good amount of time with it. The controls may not have been the most straight forward at first but I didn't even need to know all of them in order to complete a game level.
May 7 04:17:19	118h 11m	Deep(er) Purple	♥ 1	This is an impressive Compo game! I love the quality of the pixel art and what feels like smooth high FPS gameplay. A tweak that might add some more polish would be to have the camera better follow the cat when jumping as I feel the cat goes beyond what the camera can see by more than what I would like. Nevertheless, good to see the amount of work done you did and I like your music as well!
