| Apr 8 13:57:56 | Cave of Gorbs | ♥ 1 | Nice short game! I almost thought my journey was pointless with so many repeating structures until I saw a small hut and touched it. Aside of rocks which require mining to gather, I don't seem to find other resources to be useful especially water which is always 0. Despite my resources, I could mine and survive easily, and no, the blue monster could be shot to death easily. The only hurdle I dealt is digging my way which takes time. | |
| Apr 9 12:01:13 | 22h 03m | Green Tastes Funny | ♥ 0 | I think I understand where those green creatures came from. Oh about the game, well it's short but it's expected. |
| Apr 9 14:13:19 | 2h 12m | Copper Soul | ♥ 2 | I was almost worried that I couldn't reach the bottom with my limited power but turns out I could spend HP for that and did win on my first try. If the deeper rooms were different or darker, it might give better impression of going deeper. But it is good game nonetheless. |
| Apr 9 14:31:48 | 18m 29s | Scaphander's Mine | ♥ 0 | I agree that this game is hard but half of the difficulty comes from RNG and unfairness. I hate it when eel eats me right when I start a run and when anglerfish puts me in corner. It gets worse when both eel and anglerfish made me stuck at the middle. Regardless, I like the idea of mining while dodging but please rebalance the game and make it more skill based. |
| Apr 10 09:41:31 | 19h 09m | P8-Sweeper | ♥ 1 | Nice take on minesweeper clone! Though this one requires me to alter my calculations. And just like original minesweeper, this game relies alot on luck so it would take lots of tries to get deeper than 4 for me. |
| Apr 10 14:14:54 | 4h 33m | Debt Miner | ♥ 1 | Kinda repetitive game but it's fun nonetheless. |
| Apr 10 14:21:17 | 6m 23s | Depth Defying | ♥ 0 | Interesting entry, kinda like point n click game but instead of clicking objects, you interact with objects within time limit. |
| Apr 10 14:44:18 | 23m 01s | Pushing Forward | ♥ 1 | I find this creative when it comes to pushing buttons but as it gets deeper, it becomes repetitive. The spikes make it worse. It would be better if there were alternate paths and less spikes but have twists. |
| Apr 10 14:49:34 | 5m 16s | Skellevator | ♥ 2 | Pretty fun game! I love beating skeletons with swords. I kept getting tempted to throw swords even though I don't have to. But yeah, I could do better next time. |
| Apr 11 13:37:50 | 22h 48m | Game Graveyard | ♥ 2 | The idea is good but it may need rebalancing cause aside of having too many walls, the lack of ability to get rid of enemies makes it hard to survive and get the fun of this game. However, this game seems to have extra depths in it. After game over menu pops out, it is possible to resume playing and finish the game. |
| Apr 11 14:05:35 | 27m 45s | Ascend From Depths | ♥ 1 | This is probably one of bleakest game jam entries I've ever played. Fortunately, the gameplay isn't as bleak as it looks. It took couple tries to get the basics correct but once I got them, I could swim my way or ascend to the top and complete this game. BTW the boost is essential for that. Angler fish might chase you but you could boost your way out from them safely. |
| Apr 11 14:14:28 | 8m 53s | Crab Royal | ♥ 1 | Fun short game! If the king had ordered shark feast also, he would be more than satisfied after crab meal. I wish the crab would fight alone but fortunately repair kits are easy to find so this should be enough. |
| Apr 12 09:34:07 | 19h 19m | Dive to Survive | ♥ 2 | Kinda rough and it took me couple tries to understand what double x actually meant. Anyways, did complete the short game. If only the movement is smoother, this game could be better. |
| Apr 12 09:42:04 | 7m 57s | Depths shooter | ♥ 1 | Nice start! this game could use extra works to make it better. At least, default gun shouldn't require any ammo or unlimited while extra alternate gun could use ammo. That being said, at least the boss fight gave some nice closure to this game. |
| Apr 12 14:27:05 | 4h 45m | Bellophobia | ♥ 1 | I like how I could explore the depths despite the darkness but it could be better if the craft were more responsive in almost anything it does. Another thing is I wish there would be easier way to tell which object is solid and which isn't without bumping onto them. |
| Apr 12 14:34:15 | 7m 10s | Sighetto: Dual Descent | ♥ 0 | I can see the idea of this game but it might need some work to make it better especially with jumping which is essential to the game. And also, since there's world switch, it should be guaranteed that player won't bump into anything solid nor lethal after switching. |
| Apr 12 14:48:18 | 14m 03s | Depths of Death | ♥ 1 | 1290 souls in around 8 minutes. Can't say it's good or bad but I completed this game and enjoyed it. I like the various choices in the shop with *plus* and *minus* being offered and rerolls as icing on the cake. My biggest issue is how burning and thunder work which are so random and hard to use effectively. I ended up avoiding any fire thinking they might hurt me. |
| Apr 13 07:42:01 | 16h 53m | Maps of The Darkness | ♥ 1 | I can see the idea with create your own map however I could travel in the dungeon even if I don't modify the map at all. When I did modify the map, I couldn't see any impact on the dungeon. I might need to try this game again to see if I could do something different. |
| Apr 13 07:57:16 | 15m 15s | Depths of Xylos | ♥ 1 | Nice start with this game. It requires many fixes and polish to make it good but it has the basics. That being said, it has unique shard reading mechanic. |
| Apr 13 08:05:14 | 7m 58s | Return to Darkness | ♥ 0 | Nice short game! I wish the earth hornets had faster response but other than that, this game is pretty solid. I love the fact that aside you could choose your own path, you could mine gems to refill your health and ammo making digging to depths easier. |
| Apr 13 13:34:45 | 5h 29m | Geoillogical | ♥ 0 | I wish I could use money gained from a run to upgrade my next run. But forget about that. Good drilling game! I like how we are given upgrade option at the start of each run. I may need to play this game more often to learn how scoring works but I could get how to control the drill to collect some valuables. I wish it would be easier to get fuel to extend my drilling time but this is good enough. |
| Apr 13 13:45:44 | 10m 59s | Spider Cave Offensive | ♥ 1 | I love how digging is combined with boss fight, gives two challenges to deal with. I couldn't figure out how to use blue crystals but I could figure out how to defeat the spider. |
| Apr 14 08:51:19 | 19h 05m | Layered | ♥ 1 | This is unique in having depths in z axis instead. As for the game, nice n short one. I got stuck at certain area but managed to get out and found the correct path. |
| Apr 14 09:19:42 | 28m 23s | The Moon Reconstruction Program | ♥ 1 | This game has a very unique mechanic and I love it. I could be creative with in and use it to travel, almost anywhere. And it could also be used to defeat bosses. I'm glad to see some patches with ability to scale walls and burrow through stickied parts. Too bad I couldn't get out from first boss room so my journey would have to end prematurely. |
| Apr 14 14:20:41 | 5h 00m | Deep Sword Cultivator | ♥ 1 | This must be the first entry with the most *depths* in it. Every single action has *depth* in its chanting. The enemies don't give good impression about depth well but there are some encounters to show your current depth. I'm not sure if the boss did disable my attacks or it is a bug but with depths of experience I have, I did defeat it. Good short game anyways, I love the sword rain which cuts really deep if done at right time. |
| Apr 14 14:39:18 | 18m 37s | Tout au fond (at the very bottom) | ♥ 1 | Good short diver game! I love how the stages and enemies are designed and with upgrade system also. I wish the upgrade bar would stay at full if player is at max upgrade level. I wish there were no screen shake when vertical missile hits something cause it gets annoying. I rather hear unique SFX instead. That being said, I did complete this game. |
| Apr 15 07:43:52 | 17h 04m | Decender of the Deep | ♥ 2 | Interesting combo of digging and deckbuilding game. I'm glad the earthquake didn't bury me alive allowing me to resume my progress. Speaking of which, my run was messy but despite of that, I've managed to find the green emerald and brought it to the surface. |
| Apr 15 07:53:04 | 9m 12s | Moldwasher | ♥ 1 | I think the theme is hard to see but if you do play the game, it does have depths. Anyways, nice washing game! I wish the mold could have varying spread speed for levels variety and the HUD show which object is which properly. |
| Apr 15 14:18:30 | 6h 25m | In the DEPTHS | ♥ 1 | The idea of tossing player in an arc might work well if there were no time limit cause couple seconds is consumed to launch then drop. IOW this game is best played in sandbox mode. Other than that, it would be nicer if there were less soil blocking the hole and more resources to find so player won't waste time finding hole to get deeper and won't waste time to even see a resource. TLDR, this game needs rebalancing to make it fun. |
| Apr 16 07:33:10 | 17h 14m | Interstellar Dragon - Into the depths... of space! | ♥ 1 | Simple and easy to learn game. I wish there were more ways to deal with asteroids than just dodging. |
| Apr 16 07:43:57 | 10m 47s | Schweigen | ♥ 0 | Nice short narrative game! I think I've missed couple points of the dialogue but did complete the game and reached the ending. The game doesn't have deep gameplay but it does convey the depths in the narrative. |
| Apr 16 14:31:10 | 6h 47m | Mine For It All | ♥ 1 | I had bad luck on my first run by getting scraps twice effectively ending my run prematurely. However I had better luck on second run. Anyways, I can't see the depths of this game but I can break rocks for fun. |
| Apr 17 05:48:47 | 15h 17m | Oakhaven | ♥ 1 | I like the randomized rooms and lighting in this game. However, I keep getting glitch of not being able to return to previous room and it ruins the fun of this game. Hopefully it could be fixed in the future. |
| Apr 17 05:56:03 | 7m 16s | SquidVenture | ♥ 1 | Nice short game! I thought it's going to play like my entry but turns out it isn't. when it comes to shooting and strafing that is. But regardless, it is still fun and offer good challenge. |
| Apr 17 09:40:07 | 3h 44m | Downstairs | ♥ 2 | I never thought all of this was caused by broken pr.... ahem, never mind. This game is really depth, literally and technically. I really dislike the extra effort just for jumping properly, it only adds frustration instead of adding tense. But I'm okay with reloading feature cause it's natural. The stairs graphic is repetitive but I believe it's deliberate and adds to difficulty. That being said, I love the fact that this game offers more stu.. enemies as the game gets deeper, makes the game varying and not boring. |
| Apr 17 14:11:57 | 4h 31m | Hoard | ♥ 1 | Heh, 316 score, that was rough. I can't see depths right away but I feel like I had to dig through cases after stacking so many of them. Anyways, nice simple yet hard to master game. I never thought this simple game could be so hard to master. |
| Apr 18 06:09:47 | 15h 57m | Anteater 2 | ♥ 1 | I don't know if I should focus on the titular anteater or the ants. I mean the anteater is capable of eating many ants at once in single strike which is great however watching the ants digging the ground to open more paths is good too. Anyways, off topic aside, it is simple and fun game. It's not hard to eat many ants with single strike. |
| Apr 18 08:30:06 | 2h 20m | Deckfall | ♥ 1 | At first, I thought it looks similar to idle game I've played years ago. But later, it's not an idle game so I played it non-idly. I've managed to reach second floor at first run but I was spawned inside a wall and get stuck forcing me to restart my run. I've managed to win the game on second run despite only clearing two floors. IMO this game needs more depths, in cards type, enemies and dungeons to be good. |
| Apr 18 08:39:43 | 9m 37s | Bubbles | ♥ 2 | The game is simple but turns out shooting flies and eating drowned flies is harder than I thought. Fortunately, it's not too hard so eating 10 flies could be done. Nonetheless, it's fun. |
| Apr 18 13:39:28 | 4h 59m | Fosu! | ♥ 1 | Nice endless ru... driller game! It starts kinda boring at first but it gets intense when the speed increases. I wish there would be pickups or valuables to give risk n reward element to this game. |
| Apr 18 14:15:15 | 35m 47s | St. Harold the Devout | ♥ 1 | I feel like it's octodad meets getting over it. Anyways, I figured out how to play this game but since there are no checkpoints, I lost my appetite to retry again after accidentally touching mushrooms. Nonetheless, it's unique game which its own challenges. |
| Apr 19 14:07:33 | 23h 52m | Diamond Divers | ♥ 0 | Nice work with this entry. Too bad the way how core mechanic is supposed to be performed which is pushing cart isn't fun at all. Added with collected diamonds could expire, the game become harder than it should be. This game could be better if pushing cart could be done by shooting the cart or just pushing it. Stomping to push cart should be coded as bonus which is stomped cart will yield 2x diamonds. This will give risk n reward to choose from. |
| Apr 19 14:26:31 | 18m 58s | Submarine Murder | ♥ 1 | Nice simple detective game. Too bad there are less clues to gather causing me to accuse wrong people with weak evidence. Oh well, at least I got it right in the end. |
| Apr 19 14:42:43 | 16m 12s | JetMine | ♥ 1 | I wish I could see what ore I've picked up so I don't have to go back n forth to shop to see what I have. But other than that, it's nice mining game. |
| Apr 20 09:49:21 | 19h 06m | Wild Focus | ♥ 1 | Nice short and simple photo game! I thought it was going to be tough requiring me to go deep and time it properly to take a shot but turns out it was waay simple than that. I did complete the game though and got accepted to university. This game could be better if we weren't sent to main menu after each photo session and each animal require extra effort to find and photo. |
| Apr 20 13:57:08 | 4h 07m | Echoes in the Deep | ♥ 0 | Nice dodge game based on echolocation. I wish the game had something to give risk n reward element so player isn't always dodging creatures but also getting that reward. I wish I could shoot sonar while dashing but I guess it's part of the design. |
| Apr 20 14:01:37 | 4m 29s | DElevator | ♥ 0 | Too bad there's no screen resolution adjustment forcing me to play in wrong resolution. Regardless, the idea is good but it needs rebalancing and fixing to make it better. |
| Apr 21 07:57:25 | 17h 55m | Submarine-Souls | ♥ 1 | Controlling the sub is hard but I guess it's the gameplay. I couldn't find the harbor but ended up in wrong spot thinking that it's a harbor. I wish it's more clearer how a harbor would look like. that being said, nice diving game. |
| Apr 21 08:01:26 | 4m 01s | Where it Ends | ♥ 1 | Nice endless diver game! I tried to get all coins but ended up hitting walls oftenly. So I decided to fall nicely while avoiding wall and gained 145 score. |
| Apr 21 08:07:36 | 6m 10s | Down climber (Pico-8) | ♥ 1 | Nice short climber game! I thought I could drop down from heights but the checkpoint debunked that. I like player have ability to climb walls up and down and use rope. Really helpful especially in deep drop. |
| Apr 21 08:10:12 | 2m 36s | Cave Diver | ♥ 0 | Nice diving game! I wish the game would start with wider hole then gradually get narrower and narrower. |
| Apr 21 08:27:26 | 17m 14s | Depths of Darvaza 2 | ♥ 0 | Nice short game! Too bad the dash is only useful in final area and certain spot however the jetpack and boosts are still useful. The levels are varied and have couple things to shoot at including the one at the depths. It was fun. |
| Apr 22 07:53:14 | 23h 25m | Infernal | ♥ 2 | Nice shooting game! it's pretty fun if you know how to play properly. I got so deep until there are just too many bats to deal with and resulted in 2240 score. That being said, despite the theme, this game is lacking depth. This game could be better if it had more enemy types, traps and tricky upgrade choices. |
