| May 17 15:13:33 | Depths of Darvaza | ♥ 2 | Hi there, so right of the bat, I noticed one thing with your game - shooting the gun requires the Z button. Due to me using a german PC, this setup is highly inconvenient (Z is next to T on the keyboard). So, after some tinkering, that was fixed (and I didn't factor that into my scoring, just letting you know) Overall, I really dig the artstyle. The color palettes are coming together nicely and it is just pleasing to look at. Great Spritework as well! The Sound design is suberp - I love the voice lines. Gameplay wise, I'm really bad at dodging the enemies, so i didn't get very far on the first try, but getting there. Solid game, would recommend playing! | |
| May 17 15:16:56 | 3m 23s | Outbreaks | ♥ 0 | Overall a great looking game - and the characters are varied enough. I think I don't quite get, why it needs to be three different characters being controlled at the same time if they don't have disjointed movement (basically is still the same character doing it) But I did enjoy my time tinkering around with the Attacks and the movement is feeling really slick, especially the dodge. Definitely something to build upon! |
| May 17 15:21:09 | 4m 13s | Dhromur | ♥ 1 | From a graphics standpoint, I really dig the game! I think, that the Transition to combat could be done a bit smoother and it being more in a contrast to the overworld would help with that transition. Combat itself had me a bit confused as I didn't play HOMM3 (didn't figure out how to attack for a bit) but it seems like a solid foundation and a good tactical game to be made. Keep at it, cool game! |
| May 17 15:26:34 | 5m 25s | Heroes Dungeon: Doomsday Reporter Saga | ♥ 0 | Fun quirky little game with a hateful ad. The ad is so stupid, (similar to all those mobile games), that I just had to try it. Gameplay Wise it's a nice take of the auto runner and I enjoy the integration of the different items. It leaves a lot to be experimented with and my first try at devling was not that successful as I didn't quite get the "moving" of items in the beginning. But I definitely am a Sucker for your choice of music, awesome rendition of a classic track! |
| May 17 16:51:03 | 1h 24m | Deeper Sleep Beta | ♥ 1 | Really amazing how you came up with this. The whole things just genius and I really really REALLY dig the "retro" aesthetics! Kudos to an amazing game about mental programming, hats off to you sir, you get my trophy! |
| May 17 16:56:59 | 5m 56s | Low Notes | ♥ 1 | I do say that I enjoy myself a rythm game here and there - but i'm by no means good at them. Starting with Megalovania totally kicked my ass and not in a good way. But! It's a really polished game, feels great to play and I love the take on the theme. Would love to see that expanded with something like a MP3 parser oder something to play any of my music with it? |
| May 17 17:00:51 | 3m 52s | Fear | ♥ 1 | Lots of other people are like "it's very short". However, when I participated in my first jam, people told me to keep the actual game below 5 minutes in order to make sure that people can experience the full game. As such, you totally nailed it in my books - short, sweet with great artstyle, music and animations. Would play again, keep at it! |
| May 17 17:14:11 | 13m 20s | Mine Flower | ♥ 1 | A short and sweet game - overall it was a fun little platformer with good controls! One thing i didn't like was the keybinding as it conflicts with the QWERTZ keyboard layout - making it difficult to play effectively. Aside from that, the Sprites were mostly looking great - the last area was a little bit "clashing" with the overall art style but it was not hard on the eyes. Good work overall, keep at it! |
| May 17 17:24:18 | 10m 07s | Ixcar'th | ♥ 1 | Fun platformer - I really like the animations on the main player. The attack looks and feels impactful - altought i think that you should not give his attacks that much of a pushback. The Sound Design was fitting and i like the effects on the background. The level Design getting more and more complicated was nice - even thought i was too bad at the game to beat the fourth stage (failing at the boss repeatedly). Overall a solid entry, keep at it! |
| May 17 17:31:25 | 7m 07s | HELL deep is your love? | ♥ 6 | So, first of all - god damn, i love the music in your game. The whole thing is oozing atmosphere, from the Goat Main Character to the Artstyle of the levels. And that all topped of by that awesome chip tuney music. Took me some time to fight the urge to always jump off of ladders and ropes as that would regularily get me killed - but definitely one of the best games I have played this jam so far, very enjoyable, hope to see you up high in the placements! |
| May 17 17:38:16 | 6m 51s | Deep Sea Captain | ♥ 0 | Intriguing find - you don't see board games on here that often. (I would classify it as a classical board game even if you have a online verison on tabletopia). It is a nice little game, easy to pickup and learn, but something fun to pass the time. Sad to see that people are not interacting with it that much - but I guess having to sign up to Tabletopia is too big of a barrier to get started. Maybe keep that in mind the next time! |
| May 17 17:46:19 | 8m 03s | Infiltr8 | ♥ 1 | Back during brainstorming I was fantasizing about just this kind of game. The Maze inside a Maze inside a Maze - Mazeception as another commentator put it. I love your artstyle and even though the gameplay is hurting my feeble brain a lot, i really dig it, awesome stuff! And I for one dig oyur music and sound a lot! |
| May 17 18:05:36 | 19m 17s | Dingy Dungeon | ♥ 0 | I really like your art-direction - the 2D Sprites in the 3D environment is something thats working so well. And the combat is feeling pretty fun. But I have to agree with other commentators, that the RNG is sometimes a bit crazy - I also got a spell for 1 Gold that instakilled hordes of enemies and bosses while fully healing myself each time i cast it. I'm not sure if that was intended. |
| May 17 18:13:37 | 8m 01s | What Lies Below | ♥ 1 | Upgrading feels smooth and enjoyable and the music really sells the atmosphere you are going for. On that merit alone, it already is a great entry. On top of that, the lighting just is the icing on the cake! |
| May 17 18:16:31 | 2m 54s | Dig Deeper | ♥ 1 | Decent game for a compo entry - quite challenging to escape the lava and digging fast enough. Took me quite some time to manage to actually bacome fast enough 🐶 |
| May 17 18:18:12 | 1m 41s | Isurium | ♥ 0 | I love the kind of game you are going for. It feels like a very old school experience - centered around one screen and with what feels like limitless actions that take different turns. Would love to see you expand upon it - especially with the artstyle and some story behind it (and if it's just some soothing narration on top) |
| May 17 18:20:10 | 1m 58s | Deedee Spy | ♥ 1 | Your Chracters? They feel SOOOOOO reminiscent of old SNES Era games. Immediately transported me back in time. Overall the whole game is just really a feelgood game and callback to games of old. Looking forward to seeing where you are taking it in the future! |
| May 17 18:29:32 | 9m 22s | The Tree | ♥ 2 | I am total sucker for idle and idle-like games and that game just scratches that itch for me. The graphics are nice and enjoyable and it just feels satisfying to keep digging into both directions and having that huge tree at the end. At some point i ran out of ways to build up - is that intentional? |
| May 17 18:32:17 | 2m 45s | WhiteSnow | ♥ 1 | Overall a solid game. Loving the theme with Snowwhite and the Dwarves, and nothing like seeing Snowhite taking an active role in management. The gunplay could need a couple of different tweaks here and there like the direction you are shooting matching with the cursor. Aside from that, awesome stuff with great aesthetics! |
| May 17 18:34:08 | 1m 51s | Depths Mining Co. | ♥ 0 | The game reminds me a bit about my first entry all the way back at LD27. However, your game definitely is much prettier than my game was back then! Might need some more depth to the gameplay, different upgrades and stuff, but hey, it is a solid entry, well done! |
| May 17 18:37:16 | 3m 08s | Under the Stove | ♥ 1 | I never really had a look at Roblox, but hats off to you for developing something like that in 48 hours. Just for you I setup a Roblox account and played around - interesting an enjoyable. Sad to see that you can't use your own music - and also thanks for the postmortem, maybe I should check that out for fun as well! |
| May 17 18:39:32 | 2m 16s | I'm So Deep | ♥ 1 | You sire, just blew my mind. I definitely will need to take a look at your source code to see, how you handled and managed parsing and scoring those poems - but this was one hell of a ride. |
| May 17 18:51:44 | 12m 12s | The Limbo Runner | ♥ 1 | Me and my group of friends had limbo as a big word written on our Whiteboard of Ideas. Sadly, nobody picked it up to be made into a game. But coming across your game, i was immediatly thinking back at the jokes we had and it turned out brilliant! Hard game, but so well done! |
| May 17 18:54:56 | 3m 12s | Le bateau ivre | ♥ 1 | Even if the game completely confused the heck out of me (pardon my french) - it was an interesting experience and the slick black artstyle is really well done! |
| May 17 18:57:25 | 2m 29s | Dwarven Delver | ♥ 1 | Overall well rounded and smooth feedback on the digging. Gameplay was enjoyable and the feedback loop well implemnted. I also like that you can decide on how far you want to take things - but sometimes it felt a bit too random to go forward with. Overall I would love to play it again after you have iterated a bit on things that other commentators had already mentioned! |
| May 18 14:57:22 | 19h 59m | Infratoad | ♥ 1 | Hey there, I just got around to playing and rating your game! Very well polished, awesome aesthetics! A bit sad that I can't try the Co-Op today, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! |
| May 18 14:59:35 | 2m 13s | Duskwood | ♥ 1 | Overall a very creepy game with very dense atmosphere. The creepiness is weightend by your chosen graphics. The Axe itself was not always necessary but fun to use anyhow! Reminds me a lot of the Slender games back when they were all the craze! |
| May 18 15:00:35 | 1m 00s | Time to Sleep | ♥ 0 | Cute and short game - just the right thing for a long day at work to wind down. And the cat is just the cutest! |
| May 18 15:04:35 | 4m 00s | DeepPsy | ♥ 1 | That Heartbeat sound really got me. And damn, playing with a touchpad in the Maze section was not fun at all - in a positive way. After reading that it was the panic path, I totally get that feeling. Gave me real life panic coupled with the different heartbeat sounds to get to the exit. Well done, interesting and intriguing concept! |
| May 18 15:07:12 | 2m 37s | The deepest curse | ♥ 1 | Looking at your profile I noticed, that this is your first game (maybe your first game jam?) If that is true, than let me first say - congrats, you did it! You submitted your first game, be proud of yourself! Looking back at it, my first game also was a cute platform, and compared to yours, mine had horrible issues when it came to the player controller. Sure, there are things where you can improve (as we can all do), but you will get there with practice! Keep at it and looking forward to playing your next game! |
| May 18 15:09:40 | 2m 28s | Dahla's Journey | ♥ 2 | Ah, a Construct3 Game! How was your experience with the Engine? I had been using it for the last two Ludum Dares and quite enjoyed myself with it. Especially the flexibility you have towards working with Visual Scripting and mixing things up in some parts with Javascript. Overall, I love the nostalgia that your color palette gives me - it reminds me a lot of a old GB game. And the Music was very well done as well! Very awesome stuff, looking forward to your next entry! |
| May 18 15:11:35 | 1m 55s | Under The End | ♥ 1 | I am very impressed by the mechanics you built into your game. Especially the Terrain Manipulation is top notch. Overall it feels like an awesome game with fitting graphics and a solid presentation. Very interesting and engaging gameplay - you should enter more often than once ever 10 LDs! ;-) |
| May 18 15:13:05 | 1m 30s | Descend | ♥ 1 | At first I thought "Oh hey, another Mining game". But all the Lore and the Mechanics were very well crafted. And reading that it was all done by hand to provide a suberp experience - hats off to you guys! Well done, looking forward to the next Jams! |
