Apr 27 22:25:47		Danger Rat	♥ 8	Really dynamic game with very enjoyable controls, mechanics and overall aesthetic. Who knew that being a danger rat could be so enjoyable ? Strenghts : - Impeccable visuals and audio - Dynamic controls scheme - Good balance... and overall fun ! Possible improvements : - Simply pushing ennemies away is sometimes counter-intuitive, but I guess it's part of the design :) Great game !
Apr 27 22:26:21	34s	David The Diver	♥ 1	Fun underwater exeperience ! I enjoyed the 3D models, the relaxing audio and the relative freedom given to the player. Strenghts : - Full 3D and cool animations - Great msuic and sound design Weaknesses : - Controls do not mak it easy to reach the local fauna All in all, goo job !
Apr 27 22:26:51	30s	Endeavour	♥ 3	Great trip through space ! If I am not mistaken, were you going for Outer Wilds vibes ? If so, you did a great job replicating the exploring sensations ! Strenghts : - Well designed gameplay loop, fun exploration - Well designed planets - Fantastic audio Possible improvements : - Planetary approach is sometimes a little cumbersome All in all, great game !
Apr 27 22:27:39	48s	Deep Space	♥ 0	Well, that was a fun ride through space ! The gameplay loop was straightforward and enjoyable, and the graphics were crisp. I also really enjoyed your music choices ! Strenghts : - Straightforward, approachable gameplay - Clean, readable graphics - Great mood ! Possible improvements : - Levels are maybe a tad too long, and gameover making you start from scratch is punishing Overall, great job !
Apr 27 22:28:16	37s	Mandragorae Somnus	♥ 3	I really enjoyed the underground survival mechanism ; the game felt like a mix of resource management, STR-like micromanagement with a touch of Tower "Offense". Pretty unique experience, plus got to learn a ton about mandragoras :) Strenghts : - Strong root-based core mechanic - The balance keep you on your toes - Cool sound effects Possible Improvements : - Making the roots faster would increase the dynamism ; altough then you would ose the planning aspect of your game which I quite loved, so it's more of a design decision than an obvious improvement. Congrats !
Apr 27 22:28:57	41s	A Watch or The Incredible Shrink	♥ 1	Definitely a unique game, with a very-well crafted visual aesthetic. I enjoyed figuring out the actions required to move from one stage to the next, with things getting weirder and weirder the more I progressed through the game. Strenghts : - Bonkers visuals (with lot of details ! Loved the little gears below the metronome) - A new challenge at each stage - Cool interpretation of the theme Possible improvements : - The sound design is a bit strange at first : the right interaction is the one that does not make any noise. Great job !
Apr 27 22:29:34	37s	Annoying falling game	♥ 0	Well, that was not annoying at all ! Really enjoyed this short rush of action-packed free fall. The goal and the mechanics were crystal clear, and I am proud to say I cleared the 3 levels, even if my rank was C each time... Strenghts : - Straightforward gameplay loop - Well-balanced challenge (life bar vs level length) Possible improvements : - A bunch of sound effects go a long way...but 48h is definitely very short. All in all, congratualtions for your game !
Apr 27 22:30:23	49s	River, Carry Me Away	♥ 6	What a fantastic fresco ! I simply buckled up and enjoyed this poetic ride ; the amount of polish and deisgn workthat went into an experience developed in such a short time is insane ! COngratulations to the whole team ! Strenghts : - The audio is just Bonkers - And so are the visuals - The game tells so much without using a single word Possible improvements : - I'd love to get to listen to the music again :) Fantastic job !
Apr 27 22:46:28	16m 05s	GRIMM	♥ 4	Very cool down scrolling platformer ! The aesthetic is pleasing, but to me the real strength of your game lied in the excellent level design - I learnt to be careful after a bunch of hazardous jumps :) Strenghts : - Crisp audio and sound - Great controls and level design - Fun scoring system Possible improvements : - Waiting for the camera after a bunch of deaths can be a bit tedious ; but I guess that I just had to use my brain and memorize the layout... All in all, fantastic entry !
Apr 28 20:04:39	21h 18m	The Last Place	♥ 1	I had a great little walk in your atmospheric world ! I enjoyed making my way up to the tower and admiring the views, then going for a quick dive into the surrounding sea. Strengths : - Great mood (visuals and audio) - No UI, no clutter, just chill Possible Improvements : - A sprint would have helped for replayability Thanks for the experience !
Apr 28 20:10:04	5m 25s	The Golden Saucisse	♥ 1	A nice take on the downside platformer ! I really enjoyed your cute art and fun music. And having to get out of the water after getting the sausage is a great twist ; the true strength of your game lies in the player immediately understanding that without a text prompt ! Strengths : - Cute visuals - The thrill of having to go up - Good balance and controls Possible improvements : - Not a lot of interactions with the sea fauna All in all, great job !
Apr 28 20:19:50	9m 46s	Flying Fred	♥ 2	The really tight controls made this game a blast to play ! I also enjoyed the original mechanic of having to defuse a flying drone to recharge your energy ; very inventive entry ! Strengths : - Cool 3D graphics and homemade audio - Tight gameplay and fun experience - Fun death animation Possible improvements : - Getting the hang of hacking drones is difficult at first Great job !
Apr 28 20:35:34	15m 44s	Deep_demo	♥ 0	I had a tremendous time exploring this black and white asylum / dark hospital of yours. I really enjoyed uncovering all this dark lore by reading the description of "everyday" items. The detective room making sense after your first playthrough was also a blast. Strengths : - Great lore and character development - Repeated playthrough and creative ending Possible improvements : - A little music/sound effects goes a long way Fantastic entry !
Apr 28 20:39:33	3m 59s	deepr	♥ 5	An excellent idea and possibly the best take on the theme I have seen in the whole jam ! It really captured the essence of what social networks can feel like sometimes while allowing you to be deep to your heart's content. Great entry ! Strengths : - A Social Network ! - In a Ludum Dare ! - Is this the real life ? - (Woops this is not Deepr, cannot allow myself to be deep anymore) Possible improvements : - Real social media integration for the giggles ? Congratulations !
Apr 28 20:48:56	9m 23s	SPERMA	♥ 1	Vey fun and...unique experience ! The game does not get old even after many tries, and the upgrade are fantastic ! I have also quite admirative of your ability to implement a cool swarm behavior in such a short time. Strengths : - Funny gameplay loop and take on the theme - Well balanced upgrades and progression - ...Consistent aesthetic Possible improvements : - The default audio is a bit loud, but that might just be my setup. Overall, great game !
Apr 28 20:59:02	10m 06s	Deepest Sword	♥ 0	Very high quality entry ! It must have taken you forever to get the length of the sword and the level design to mesh together as well as it does. The quality of the graphics and the audio also make this entry feel very polished. Well done !
Apr 28 21:02:08	3m 06s	How Deep is Your Love	♥ 6	I would also love to try the game out ; could you update the page ?
Apr 28 21:05:56	3m 48s	Erasmus Singh: The DEEPHUNTER	♥ 1	Really great take on the theme ! You do not often see games making you pilot a submarine, and yours did not disappoint. The control scheme made for a challenging but immersive experience. Strenghts : - Great cartoony art - Fun controls (speed was fun to control) - More depth (no pun intended) than initially expected Possible improvements : - Streamline the UI a little bit Great entry !
Apr 28 21:15:30	9m 34s	DEEper	♥ 3	Very fun game ! I had a blast try to navigate in your procedurally generated levels. The amount of polish was awesome for a game jam ! Strengths : - Graphics and audio kick ass - Straightforward and fun gameplay - A cat ! And a cute one, at that Possible improvements : - Distances are sometimes somewhat difficult to grasp All in all, great job !
May 1 02:02:29	52h 46m	Josh Pit	♥ 2	Really fun game ! The sound design got me first, but the effort you put into the poses and the obstacles is what suck me in. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face 😄 Strengths : - 3 poses with intuitive effects for a fun gameplay loop - Many subtleties to discover (bouncing on the walls, ...) - Hilarious overall aesthetic Possible improvements : - Some obstacles come at you a bit fast despite the "!" Great job !
May 1 02:12:57	10m 28s	Falling Bot	♥ 3	Avoiding obstacles with that little robot was pretty satisfying ! I also really enjoyed all the care and effort that went into the sound design (that raycast of the laser !), the 3D modelling and the lighting. Strengths : - Fun control scheme that makes for a good challenge, especially given the theme - General aesthetic seemed to have a lot of thought and effort put into it Possible improvements : - Invincibility frames/crossing obstacles you've hit would be less punishing than the current system, which removes your 4 lives very fast (get stuck once, lose everything). All in all, great job !
