Apr 27 21:21:17		To the Core	♥ 1	Great idea! Gave it a few tries but unfortunately, couldn't get even to the middle. It's a pretty simple concept and very well executed and fun to play. With more diversity in block and ore types it would really good! Liked the atmospheric music and sounds. Art and story were quite funny but actually, really well done. Great job! Enjoyed playing it!
Apr 27 21:42:34	21m 17s	Sea of Lies	♥ 1	Deep idea, as usual! Very relevant and really well implemented. The gameplay is pretty simple but has a lot of great details, such as different enemy types, changing background, funny comments. The mood is great, very nice music and decent graphics. I really enjoyed playing the game, thank you for creating it!
Apr 27 22:24:27	41m 53s	Bunny Bunny Dig Dig	♥ 0	Amazing game! Made it to the bottom. Really impressed with all the aspects of the game. Great job!
Apr 28 10:17:30	11h 53m	Deeper Daddy	♥ 1	Nice game! I liked the interesting approach of using 2d sprites in 3d world. I would say that it's a bit too strict killing the player from the slightest touch of a rock. Other than that, really well-implemented. Liked the art and the soundtrack, they create great mood. Great job!
Apr 28 14:37:23	4h 19m	Magic Takes Root	♥ 4	Wow, that's one of the best games I've played so far in this jam! Pretty original game mechanics. I really wonder how you programmed that root, it moves really smoothly! The challenge is decent when you need to focus on two things at the same time. Even when played by two people it's pretty tough and I like it. Amazing atmosphere with cute graphics, sounds and a bright soundtrack. Overall, makes a really great game, one can see that you put your soul into it, especially those moles! Awesome job!
Apr 28 14:58:19	20m 56s	RAMnesia	♥ 3	Wow, you're really good at creating mind-breaking puzzles! Very clever and original game mechanic. Lots of level content and you even managed to create some awesome art and sound to keep the mood. Really impressive! I also see that you had to cut some corners like tutorial/controls and ability to go back to menu. One of the important ones for me would be being able to see the number of levels and to switch to the next one if you're stuck. So there is some space to improve on the player experience. Other than that, amazing game that feels a lot more than just a jam game. Great job!
Apr 28 15:42:38	44m 19s	A Taste of the Past	♥ 1	Amazing story and mood, very touching! Really beautiful art, music and great voice acting. It's so much more than just a jam game. It can actually help people to go through a loss of a loved one. Hope you will take it further. Really great job!
Apr 28 16:57:40	1h 15m	Deepest Sword	♥ 0	Amazing idea, had lots of fun playing it! Very well-polished and with a great art, sound and mood. The best game I've played so far in this jam, a masterpiece. Amazing job!
Apr 28 19:16:10	2h 18m	Aqua Mine	♥ 1	Really nice art, quite a fun game idea! Also, pretty interesting twist on a submarine + mining direction. Well-polished and could be developed into a full game. Great job!
Apr 28 19:32:42	16m 32s	Catlantis	♥ 3	Great game, really a lot of content! Impressive for a jam game. Liked the art and the mood. The gameplay was pretty smooth and the game felt complete. Great job!
Apr 28 19:59:21	26m 39s	Dig the Onion	♥ 2	Amazing take on the team, loved the idea and the crying effect. The blurriness might be a bit too much though in the end game. Overall, awesome mood and implementation. The cards functionality was a bit confusing but that might be due to me being inexperienced at card games. Great job overall!
Apr 28 20:09:04	9m 43s	Sheppard	♥ 1	Great graphics and sound! The controls are a bit constrained as has been mentioned by others above but other than that makes a good retro-style platformer. Well done!
Apr 28 20:13:12	4m 08s	Graphite Journey	♥ 3	Great original graphics! Very nice small game. I would be looking forward to more diverse gameplay for that great graphics in the future. Great job, keep it up!
Apr 28 20:29:02	15m 50s	Hellevator	♥ 1	Amazing game! Really original idea and fits the theme really well. Gameplay is smooth and easy to grasp. Art and sounds are great and create some good mood. I'm really impressed that you made it alone in just 48 hours. Awesome job!
Apr 28 20:48:00	18m 58s	Blackout	♥ 7	It's a masterpiece! Amazing puzzles, humor, art, music and mood. Reminded me of classic Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island P&Cs. Really well done, one of the top games I've played so far in this jam!
Apr 28 20:58:15	10m 15s	Deep Sewers	♥ 1	Interesting idea and really nice graphics and sound. Liked the vacuuming but kind of expected a bit more diversity from it. Pretty solid base game that could benefit from an unexpected twist. Well done!
Apr 28 21:15:00	16m 45s	Foundations	♥ 1	Amazing mood, the game is very well-built to convey the idea. Very good take on the theme. Really challenging but you managed to implement it very well. The voice acting is awesome. Great job!
Apr 28 21:24:26	9m 26s	PANEMUAN	♥ 1	Great experience! Very good story, art and mood. I really liked the music too. Even though it felt that the speed of the character was a bit too slow, the idea was well delivered. You might want to work on that in the future, to make the animation fit the character movement speed. But overall, good game and you've done a great job!
Apr 28 21:43:34	19m 08s	Drilbert	♥ 1	Great puzzle game! Amazing level design. It's relatively easy to crack levels once you get the idea how it works. But it's quite challenging to understand how it works at first. The idea is brilliant and would totally fly as a full-scale mobile game. Some things I would suggest are making level difficulty scale up slower and some present visual guidance at first, ability to undo your action would be a lot more forgiving and less annoying, and ability to see all the levels and select next one if you're stuck at some level. Overall, really impressive and very well done!
Apr 30 15:45:56	42h 02m	Rolling In The Deep	♥ 1	Really great visuals, especially the water. Sound effects fit really well, would be nice to add some ambient music as well. Controls are interesting but currently there is not much point in using the launcher and just using backfire from shooting is easier. One wild idea would be to make this game turn-based and limit the number of turns. So it's gonna be something like golf in a very unusual setting. Overall, the game mechanics felt pretty smooth and it was fun to play through several levels. Amazing job for a solo game! Looking forward to see it as a complete mobile game.
Apr 30 16:29:15	43m 19s	Deep Potato	♥ 1	Very solid entry! This game has a lot of content. It was atmospheric, exciting and addicting, I had a lot of time playing it. Everything in this game is great: idea, gameplay, graphics, music and sound. On the other side, it does seem that you over-scoped it, as the last two planets are not finished and kind of break the excitement. It would be better to either limit it to one planet or to reduce the scope of the first planet and put some things to the rest. Small finished game is usually better than big unfinished one. Also, some more polish would be great, as sometimes the character went through the tiles and sometimes collisions with resources weren't recognized. It would also be great to understand why you're mining potatoes from alien planets. 😄 But overall, it's a really great game and you did a very good job putting it together!
Apr 30 16:38:36	9m 21s	Tin Mining	♥ 1	Very nice game! Good graphics and decent implementation of a pretty challenging game mechanics. Unfortunately, I haven't made any money on my mine =D But it was fun watching AI walking around and doing stuff. Great job!
Apr 30 16:48:39	10m 03s	🔥 Magma Eater 🔥	♥ 2	Wow, that felt like a really good time killer for mobile. Amazing idea and seems quite original! Great gameplay, graphics, sounds and mood. I had fun playing it. Very well done in creating it in such a short period of time!
Apr 30 17:03:51	15m 12s	Hello, user.	♥ 1	Very intriguing indeed! Even though I didn't hear any sounds, the mood was very good. I really wish a bit more of the backstory has been revealed, as right now it feels way too open-ended. But overall, it was really great and liked the idea a lot. Well done!
Apr 30 17:33:51	30m 00s	Pescuit Pe Plajă	♥ 1	Exciting game, really kept me intrigued about those 30 hand-drawn fishable treasures. I was surprised when I finally found my last LD game on the bottom of some of the weird lakes. Seriously, I was also thinking to make a fishing game, but then switched to a different idea. What would be great to add is some progression with fishing rod upgrades, different baits and ability to sell caught fish. But that would be a way bigger scope. Overall, very nice simple game. I liked the drawings and fish jumping out of the lake. Good job! screenshot.png
Apr 30 18:02:30	28m 39s	Billy's Gone Again	♥ 2	Very solid entry! Really well-put together and polished. A lot of content and mechanics. AI is really decent. Amazing visuals and audio. Trully reminded me of Enter the Gungeon. I had a lot of fun going through it! I do have suggestions to improve as well. The level was so long and all the same that at some point I started doubting whether there is an ending and whether I'm moving in the right direction. Some feedback to the player that you can win this game would help. A story would be really nice to understand what you're doing there and what you're after. Otherwise, feels more like a generic bullet hell with unlimited procedurally generated world. Not sure if every player will have the nerve to make it till the end. Another small suggestion would be to make dash give you invincibility for a short period of time, otherwise it's not that useful. I haven't seen a need to use dash till the final battle. Finally, I'm so glad that there was a final battle, defeating the boss felt rewarding. But after winning the game just froze for several seconds and then returned to the main menu, which wasn't rewarding at all. Even a "Congrats" text would make it more rewarding. But ideally, some uncovering of the story and a small animation would make player experience a lot better. I would personally trade one of the weapon and enemy types for it. 😄 Nevertheless, overall, really amazing job for a jam game. Very impressive and inspiring. Well done!
Apr 30 20:13:18	2h 10m	DrillDrill: The Quest for Diamonds	♥ 1	Wow, very creative idea, haven't seen anything like that before! It works really well and can be expanded further by introducing some new power ups and blocks. Really great art, love the trees and diamonds. The character is unexpectedly minimalistic but still adorable. Overall, the game is really well-done and complete. I only had one thing bugging me. The balance was a bit off and the game was too easy. Diamonds were piling up and I had to just wait for the red line to fall further. Maybe it would make sense to separate score from the currency? Also, if you buy too many bounce upgrades you bounce way too high. What I though would be cool was to have some pickups and obstacles also going on in the clouds. So it would be not just a drill but a drill with an umbrella hat or something like that 🙂 Anyway, really great job for a solo game! Impressive!
May 1 17:43:54	21h 30m	To The Core	♥ 0	Great job for a first jam game! Very nice graphics, pleasant music and fun to play. I just wish it wouldn't reset all the progress after just one death. Are levels procedurally generated?
May 1 18:09:23	25m 29s	Ludu Hare and the Magical Carrot	♥ 4	Great game! It felt a bit rough at first because there was no tutorial about what you need to do to complete a level and how you're supposed to beat the enemies. So I had to get to the end of the first level just to realize that I need to go back and find every single mole, which was weird. but once you figure out the rules of the game it's quite straight forward and fun. Having two full levels and a boss fight was really impressive. The ending has very rewarding and fun, I really loved it! Definitely, it could be a bit more polished but given the amount of content, it's understandable. Graphics and audio are really good leading to a nostalgic retro platformer mood. To sum up, amazing job on all parts! For the future, I would recommend also to focus a bit more on player experience (tutorial, menu and such) and polishing the existing mechanics (visual and audio feedback on hitting the enemy or being hit, making sure you don't have blind jumps from a platform into a lava or spikes that player can't predict and such). For game jams, it's usually fine to sacrifice an extra level to make the game feel more complete and easy to play. Thanks a lot for making this fun game!
May 1 18:26:42	17m 19s	Into the Woods	♥ 1	Good game, loved the ending! The mood is great, the music and the art fit really well together and promote tense atmosphere. Animation was very smooth and the movement felt really well. For some reason, the character was moon walking when standing on a surface with an angle but it looked quite fun. I just missed a bit of diversity in the gameplay but overall it's a pretty solid entry. Well done and keep it up!
May 1 18:40:06	13m 24s	EveryDay	♥ 1	Very good idea! I really liked the sound and the mood, very good visual and audio story telling. But it felt a bit too open-ended, never quite knowing what you're supposed to do and whether it's the end of the game or not and why exactly certain things are happening. But I guess that's exactly what you were going for. To sum up, could be polished more but overall, very interesting out-of-the-box approach and very unusual and fun game. Great job!
May 1 19:56:19	1h 16m	20.000 LIGHT YEARS deep in THE SKY	♥ 3	Amazing! That's one of the best games I've played so far in this game jam and it definitely feels like a complete game with a lot of effort put in it. It would make a great mobile game! I'm totally blown away by the visuals, sound and voice acting in this game. All of it is so beautiful leading to an awesome mood. The soundtracks are great. I'm so impressed that you managed to compose a 5+ minute long soundtrack for each planet and menu!! I wonder how long on average did it take you to finish one track? What kind of musical background and experience do you have to do so much of such an awesome music so quickly? The only minor recommendation I come up with is to improve the transitions between different soundtracks. Currently, it just cuts the previous track and starts the next one but mixing the two or even just fading in/out would make it sound a bit smoother. One other thing I just realized is that the game could benefit from sound effects to provide audio feedback to the actions done by the player. Something simple like clicks, drag&drops, shuttle engine noise and such would make the game a bit more alive. To sum up, top marks for most categories, really impressive work. You've done a totally incredible jam game, very well done! Looking forward to seeing you on future jams!
May 2 16:50:26	20h 54m	Bubbly	♥ 3	Amazing entry! Loved the graphics and the music fits nicely creating a spooky atmosphere. Very fun gameplay and the leaderboard keeps you hooked. Great job!
May 2 19:39:36	2h 49m	Rabbit Rappel	♥ 2	Totally amazing game! Loved the pixel art details and the music. Certainly one of the best games in this jam.
May 4 20:14:09	48h 34m	Cthulhu's Deep Dream	♥ 1	Solid platformer with hilarious story! The gameplay is very smooth but I didn't initially understand that the pick up increases your health. Art is super cute. Well done!
May 4 20:23:11	9m 02s	Crust	♥ 4	Very polished game! Great original game mechanics. Gets a bit too complex for my taste but it would get boring without a challenge, right? Amazing art and sounds create great mood. A tutorial is a nice touch to the player experience. Very solid entry, great job!
May 8 17:10:51	92h 47m	Granny Goes Deep	♥ 2	Wow, this is amazingly polished! Love the interpretation of the theme. Apart from my own, yours is the only entry I've encountered to use the falling mechanics. Now I see how it can be implemented by a team of specialists and it's really amazing! Great graphics, cinematics, amazingly fitting audio, hilarious lines, great voice acting and quite a fun gameplay. I kind of wish there was a bit more to do there than just pressing Space before landing. But I did enjoy the wallslide! Awesome job!
May 8 17:19:25	8m 34s	Spermy the Whale Goes Deeper and Deeper	♥ 1	Good game! It was pretty challenging, I barely managed to get to the bottom before the time ran out. Needs some practicing for sure. Great job!! [Screenshot 2021-05-08 201515.png](///raw/35e/11/z/424a1.png)
May 8 17:27:37	8m 12s	Go to the Abyss	♥ 2	Very good content and level design! Well done creating all these levels, it was fun. Could be more polished, but seems like you went for quantity rather than quality. Appreciated the story, was quite intriguing to discover it. Great job!
May 8 17:36:06	8m 29s	Gloomby's Misadventure	♥ 0	Very original take on the theme, liked it! Controls are a bit inconvenient, agree with suggestions above. Would make it simpler to have them more the Enter the Gungeon style. Other than that, it was quite fun to play. Great job!
