| Apr 27 09:26:50 | Magic Worm | ♥ 2 | Yet another proof that a simple mechanic well executed makes a good game. Had a blast playing, and I was probably way too emotionally involved into my game for my own good. I kinda want to be friend with those wiggly wizards. Keep rocking! | |
| Apr 27 09:54:13 | 27m 23s | Forbidden crystal | ♥ 1 | Hey! Nice work everybody! A classic take on the theme, nice graphics and ambiance (these little sunrays hitting from the sky feel soooooo good). The controls would need to be refined a bit, but darn it, making pleasant sidescroller/platformer controls is a hard journey in itself. Also, I sometimes had a hard time knowing if I could interact with an element or not. Anyways, keep making games ✌️ |
| Apr 27 10:36:38 | 42m 25s | BLAST MINER | ♥ 1 | Niiiiiiiiice! Screenshake EVERYTHING. This looks amazing. I'm a bit sad there's no music, but one can't do everything :'( Moving around feels great, exploding stuff feels great. I'm not sure if the game is hard or if I really suck, but I had a great time playing. |
| Apr 27 11:21:33 | 44m 55s | depthscraper | ♥ 2 | I literally could play this for hours (I kinda did). Well done; well done. |
| Apr 27 13:03:12 | 1h 41m | Diggy Diggy Dwarf 2 : Deeper & Deeper | ♥ 4 | Had a hard time figuring out how everything work. Once I did though, it's incredibly rewarding to balance everything and managing everybody like a well oiled engine. Good work! |
| Apr 27 16:26:09 | 3h 22m | Spellunker | ♥ 3 | Nice simple game, the graphics are cute and the mechanics work. Controls could be a bit tighter, but that's a hard genre to get a great gamefeel with. The overall loop is very repetitive (especially when you have unlocked all the moves), but that could be worked on by introducing new enemies, etc. Keep going! Side note, please make the menu usable with the keyboard because if the game isn't played with the mouse it's a hassle to go grab it every time you die. |
| Apr 27 17:17:01 | 50m 52s | Wandering | ♥ 0 | This is a beautiful entry, graphics and music are spot on (at least that's a style I personally really like). As other people already mentioned, with a higher jump the game would be more enjoyable. That's a really good entry altogether for me, well done! |
| Apr 27 17:50:45 | 33m 44s | Hole Down | ♥ 2 | This cool probably ship tomorrow, it's kinda insane. You should teach the controls within the game at least a little imho. Apart from that I really don't have much to say. Well done. |
| Apr 27 18:22:18 | 31m 33s | Deep Investigation | ♥ 1 | That's a pretty cool game, had a lot of fun playing. I'd like to see more of the Duck Bros. adventures! |
| Apr 27 21:11:57 | 2h 49m | TAILSPIN! | ♥ 2 | What can I say after spending an hour pressing every single drop of juice out of your game? Well done. Not only for making a crazy good jam entry but also one of the best platformers I played recently. Cheers. |
| Apr 28 15:17:44 | 18h 05m | Diggy | ♥ 2 | A cool entry, I especially liked the music. I have just an issue with the game I'd like to take 30 seconds to explain. I had a really hard time figuring out in the first level why I could dig some blocks and why I couldn't. Because I'm colour-blind (deuteranopia), I needed to squint and concentrate very hard to distinguish blocks of different colours. Because it's easier to explain with pictures: on the first image I don't see any difference in the block colours while playing, on the second image there's no issue whatsoever. firefox_YbZfG3wUDV.png firefox_A7BACjjUn5.png |
| Apr 28 16:22:01 | 1h 04m | Teddy is in another ball pit | ♥ 1 | This was a fun idea AND it's well executed. Solid entry overall. |
| Apr 28 16:32:03 | 10m 02s | Dig it up, dog! | ♥ 1 | Nice chill game, I like simple ideas really well executed like that. Keep it up! |
| Apr 28 17:14:36 | 42m 33s | Below the Ocean | ♥ 1 | I had a real blast playing your game. It's full of good design ideas, audio and graphics are spot on, controls are just perfectly tight. Awesome. Without a doubt one of the best entries in this LDJAM. Well done and thanks for this delightful moment. |
| Apr 28 17:44:19 | 29m 43s | Deep Dungeon Tactics | ♥ 2 | Making a T-RPG during a jam can be a tough gamble (we made that exact decision some years ago, we know). In the end you pulled off a pretty solid entry, well done. The sprites are cute, I would've like to play the game in x2 or x3 to enjoy them even more. |
| Apr 28 17:57:45 | 13m 26s | Frog | ♥ 3 | Ok now. Making a NES cartridge, that's what I call flexing hard 🏋 The vibes are insane, great work. Collisions are a bit buggy but nothing I can't live with. Kudos. Oh, and, obviously, ribbit. |
| Apr 28 18:21:55 | 24m 10s | Swing Shroom | ♥ 1 | 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 I love mushrooms. I love grappling hook games. Without realizing it you made a game exactly for me. Loved it, great work! |
| Apr 28 18:38:54 | 16m 59s | You Killed Someone | ♥ 2 | It always blows my mind how people can spark so much tension with so little on screen. I enjoyed your game very much. A shame there isn't that many narrative games made during jams. |
| Apr 28 20:29:51 | 1h 50m | Pâquerette Down the Bunburrow | ♥ 2 | 🐰 Great game but it's just frying my brain out, I'm not made for this kind of stuff 😭 |
| Apr 28 20:52:44 | 22m 53s | Deep in mars | ♥ 1 | Cool game! Making balanced management games in a small amount of time is tough tho. Kudos. Edit from the future: We played your game on stream, here's a link to the VOD if you want to have a look 😄 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004121404?t=00h35m07s |
| Apr 28 21:33:46 | 41m 02s | Blackout | ♥ 6 | That is so much work achieved in one weekend. You really hit that exact nostalgic vibe you (I) want to see in this kind of game. One of the best entries I've tried so far! |
| Apr 28 21:49:00 | 15m 14s | Dig Deep Get Gold | ♥ 1 | Super simple game but it's a big achievement for a first gamejam. Keep going! |
| Apr 28 22:11:12 | 22m 12s | Far Gone | ♥ 2 | Love to see different things out of game jams. It felt really personal. Thanks for the experience, keep it up. |
| Apr 28 22:33:25 | 22m 13s | DO NOT INSERT INSIDE THE EAR CANAL!!! | ♥ 1 | 👂 OoOooOOoooOOOoooh YEAAAAAAAH. |
| Apr 29 14:21:36 | 15h 48m | INSIDE the BOX | ♥ 1 | Nice puzzle game, the mechanics are simple and the levels expertly crafted. Loved it! |
| Apr 29 14:28:48 | 7m 12s | Healer Simulator | ♥ 2 | The olds feels of playing WoW a long time ago 😭. Kudos for the work. |
| Apr 29 14:49:40 | 20m 52s | Monkey Business | ♥ 2 | Did someone say banana? 🍌 🍌 🍌 Now we want monkeys. 🐒 🐒 🐒 Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 29 18:25:48 | 3h 36m | Corla | ♥ 2 | Had a lot of fun playing this probably way too long. I love the chill music, just wanted to hang out there and make enemies run after me all day just to stay in the mood. A slick entry overall! |
| Apr 29 18:50:55 | 25m 07s | Gecko Dive | ♥ 3 | I'm always amazed at people capable of designing enjoyable puzzles. That's a really solid jam entry. Graphics are especially impressive for the timeframe imho. Kudos. |
| Apr 30 17:33:53 | 22h 42m | HELL deep is your love? | ♥ 7 | Nice game! The graphics are cool and the background music is a definitive banger imho. You absolutely nailed the overall ambiance you were going for. Controls are fine but for that kind of difficult platformer I'd really expect them to be airtight, and sadly they're not. I'd like to be able to stand on top of ladders instead of falling right through them. Having to mash the jump button to un-petrify means that if you're on a rope or a ladder you're probably going to mash to many times, jump and fall to your death. Having to jump down to meet your faith at the end of the levels is also very scary as it means you're going to die everywhere else in the game. All in all, it's a great jam entry. I'd be happy to play a more finely tuned version of it in the future though. |
| Apr 30 18:15:05 | 41m 12s | You Know The Drill | ♥ 3 | That's a nice game! I played it to the end. The music was especially nice. It'd need a bit more work to be balanced though. Through a large part of the game there's nothing preventing you from just cutting straight down, mining a lot on the way, and getting back up when you're almost out of energy. Players are lazy so if they have a boring but easy way to win, a lot of them will use it even though they're not having fun. The tutorial at the beginning was nice. Several times I tried to exit the shop menu with esc and the pause menu poped up, it felt quite weird. Cool entry overall 👍 |
| Apr 30 20:53:47 | 2h 38m | Last penny | ♥ 2 | The pixel work and the music are really nice, the game is a bit short and lacks of a little challenge but you could easily build on this to make new levels and introduce mechanics etc. Good work altogether. |
| Apr 30 21:10:04 | 16m 17s | Dungeon : Developer's Away | ♥ 1 | Cool graphics! A bit of a shame there isn't any more levels, and you didn't have much time to tweak the hitboxes properly. For now it's barely playable because you can't hit anybody without taking damage but once it's handled you could make a kickass dungeon crawler. Keep moving on! |
| Apr 30 21:27:40 | 17m 36s | Downward Frog | ♥ 1 | Gorgeous pixel art and superb music. It was a bit hard at first but once you get the hang of it it is a damn good game. Thanks for making it. |
| Apr 30 21:47:26 | 19m 46s | dark mind | ♥ 2 | Nice entry, I like how the sound FX merge with the music to create a dynamic ambiance. Graphics are really cool too. Not my type of game (I'm quite bad with this) but I had fun playing and in the end it's all that matters. Keep it up. |
| Apr 30 22:01:53 | 14m 27s | Boombox | ♥ 5 | Nice polished entry, there's really not much to say about it except I had a lot of fun playing. The graphics, the music, the controls, everything feels just like it should. Kudos. |
| Apr 30 22:16:55 | 15m 02s | Where did I Bury It? | ♥ 1 | A solid entry overall, nice graphics and music. A simple mechanic well executed, that's how you should always scope your jam games. Good work! |
| Apr 30 22:40:59 | 24m 04s | Dungeon Divers | ♥ 1 | Had a lot of fun playing this game, well done! Last level was difficult but not in a bad way. It's a good take on real time ttrgp. 👌 |
| Apr 30 22:56:33 | 15m 34s | Lunar Laundry | ♥ 1 | Cool game, the controls were a bit weird for me as the directions are oriented statically and not towards where you look. But apart from that, a solid jam entry. Keep making games! |
| Apr 30 23:15:59 | 19m 26s | Crust | ♥ 4 | Definitely one of the best games from this LDJAM. Loved everything from the graphics to the music and storytelling. The controls are exactly what they should be imho. I love that the game is probably as enjoyable to people who will speedrun the hell out of it as to people who will casually go around obstacles. Really well done 💪 |
| Apr 30 23:32:22 | 16m 23s | 2021: A Space Odyssey | ♥ 0 | Hey, I tried to play but had a weird bug where the spaceship keeps rotating like if the button was pressed (while it's not). Do @ me if you find a solution for this, and I'll be happy to try it again. |
| May 1 13:50:01 | 14h 17m | L1-S0N | ♥ 1 | Nice entry overall, the 3D lowpoly style is quite beautiful and the atmosphere is 👌. There's one of two things I'd personally change. The fog thingy isn't really clear, imho it needs to scream "danger" a bit more and lacks player feedback when it lowers and when it disappears from below you. Also, it's easy to forget about the zoom ability which is actually pretty useful. Globally, I think you need to guide the player more (about the objectives, dangers, etc). But that's easily tweakable, all in all the game feels good to play and that's the hard part done. Kudos. P.S.: I started playing this on stream yesterday, here's a link if you want to check out the VOD https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006460625?t=03h09m27s |
| May 1 15:01:00 | 1h 10m | Hook, Line, Key | ♥ 1 | Loved it! I just want to chill in my little boat and fish all day. I would have liked to get a bigger feedback when the bobble goes under the water, but apart from that it's perfect. Well done! |
| May 2 10:52:56 | 19h 51m | Deep Breath | ♥ 1 | Nice game idea, I like the basic concept. Graphics are cute and the audio fits the ambiance. I have some issues with readability (greyish-brown hazards on greyish-brown background don't stand out enough for me), and platforming (controls aren't tight enough for a platformer: the jump isn't particularly enjoyable, pressing E while moving makes you glide along the floor, etc.). Good work overall, that's a cool jam entry that could be cleaned-up easily in the future. |
| May 2 11:06:20 | 13m 24s | Dive & Dig | ♥ 1 | Nice work, especially for a compo game! The controls are extremely pleasing, and the overall experience is enjoyable. Somewhat lacks of challenge though. Also, I felt like the speed of the scrolling was maybe a little slow because I was almost always near the very bottom 🤔 |
| May 2 11:14:27 | 8m 07s | Last Breath | ♥ 1 | Please, pretty please, let the player retry by mashing space instead of forcing them to grab their mouse just to click a button. I also had an issue at some point with a shark that just appeared out of nowhere (it wasn't in the background before jumping towards me). Apart from that, graphics, audio and gamefeel are quite good. You definitely knew the ambiance you were going for and achieved it. A nice simple game well executed. Kudos. |
| May 2 11:48:50 | 34m 23s | Falling Dwarf | ♥ 3 | Beaucoup de travail abattu pendant la jam a priori, ça se voit. D'ailleurs, pas mal d'éléments du jeu sont très agréables à jouer. Pour moi par contre il y a un souci de boucle de gameplay. Déjà, le jeu n'a pas vraiment d'objectif. Sauter, miner, remonter, upgrader, sauter, miner, remonter, upgrader, patin-couffin. Le joueur n'a pas vraiment de but et sans but, il n'y a pas vraiment de jeu. Ensuite, il faut se poser une question de rythme, qui est cassé par la phase de remontée. La première fois que j'ai appuyé sur la touche pour remonter, ça m'a fait marrer et je me suis dit que c'était cool. Mais en soit, la phase n'a pas vraiment d'intérêt et est même contre-productive amha : plus le joueur s'évertue à aller profondément dans la mine, plus il est "puni" par une phase de remontée longue et sans enjeu ludique. Si le but est de rythmer le jeu pour que le joueur ait envie de faire run après run après run, il ne faut pas le punir d'être aller plus loin dans sa run. Si le but est de mettre l'accent sur le danger de la profondeur, il faut trouver un moyen de donner un enjeu à la remontée. Des fois, il faut savoir scope-down pour avoir le temps de se concentrer sur le cœur du jeu. Dans tous les cas, congrats pour le jeu globalement. C'est une entrée de jam assez solide 💪 P.S. sans trop de rapport : on peut se faire blesser par un ennemi pendant qu'il est dans son animation de mort, et c'est assez frustrant et injuste 🤓 |
| May 2 12:08:20 | 19m 30s | Duggy | ♥ 1 | Really neat game, loved it. As I already said on multiple games, that's the way to go: a simple and clean idea executed perfectly. I'm not sure if I'd change anything except making more levels. Audio and graphics are 👌 for the style you're going for. Everything feels like a juicy fruit of nostalgia. Well done. |
| May 7 20:39:45 | 128h 31m | ROOTS | ♥ 1 | Cool and chill game, audio and graphics are totally on point. Kudos, I could probably play that for hours. Really relaxing. Thanks! |
| May 7 21:04:26 | 24m 41s | Downcave | ♥ 2 | Nice entry. You did a good job of integrating every asset into a game that feel like a whole. The gamefeel needs to be tweaked a bit here and there: jumping with something else than the up key, the jump height is a bit short etc. And of course, the difficulty curve can be a bit ridiculous but in the end it's a pleasure to play. Kudos. |
| May 7 21:29:41 | 25m 15s | Deep Sleep | ♥ 3 | Love to see that kind of games in jams more and more! Graphics and music are 100% on point, you definitely knew what you wanted to go for and went for it. Perfect! Can't wait to see more of what you'll be doing in the future. |
| May 7 21:51:26 | 21m 45s | PANEMUAN | ♥ 1 | Such a cool game, thanks for submitting it. Lovely graphics and nice music too. Felt so personal, keep making games. Kudos. |
| May 7 22:11:01 | 19m 35s | Sleepwalker | ♥ 1 | Working puzzle games in game jams are pretty rare. I had a great time playing this through, thanks! Next stop: MUSIC! 🙏 |
| May 7 22:39:31 | 28m 30s | Catlantis | ♥ 2 | Not much to say, everything pretty much feels right. Controls are nice and tight. Graphics are extremely cool. Even the CC music you found suits the game really well. Good work! |
| May 7 23:46:58 | 1h 07m | Adelie - Rolling in the Deep | ♥ 1 | That's an insane amount of work and polish for a compo game omg. Really nice entry. The beginning is a bit hard imho (that's a constant for jam games to be fair). Graphics are absolutely gorgeous, love that little pinguin dude. Thanks for the game! |
