Apr 7 08:11:33 Help! I'm Trapped on The Torment Trapeze. ♥ 2 this is so good! love a lot about this, esp. the past life system - makes it a little easier over time without making it easy whatsoever. great submission!
Apr 7 08:17:04 5m 31s Get to the bottom ♥ 3 great submission! played it for a while with my roommate - the skill ceiling is surprisingly high. and agree with @thisyc - love the music!
Apr 7 08:26:00 8m 56s Wishing Evil ♥ 2 had to check it out because the game title made me laugh. thought I'd be at a disadvantage because I'm using a trackpad, but figured out how to cheese it: you can hold down the shoot key and it fires rapidly - doing this you can move the mouse around quickly and stay alive forever pretty much. got to 355 then they stopped spawning. they also mainly appeared in the bottom right after 150 or so, which made it easier. regardless, awesome job on a first submission!! image.png
Apr 7 08:34:45 8m 45s Into the Depths ♥ 2 hey, nice submission! the sound effects caught me off guard at the start hahah but I really like em. like you mentioned, it's easy to get pinned by the enemies - maybe disabling colliders during jumps or something could be a simple fix. background also spawns a little bit too late when moving downwards I think. didn't find myself needing to jump very much. solid submission regardless, I like the animations! image1.png
Apr 7 09:44:17 1h 09m Mind the Depth ♥ 2 unbeatable atmosphere and mood. super cool art project - love the music as well. enjoyed checking out your photography work as well!
Apr 7 09:54:35 10m 18s See the Light ♥ 2 meditative experience, super chill. did you make the music? it's great. nothing seems to happen when reaching 0 hp though. regardless, nice entry!
Apr 7 10:02:21 7m 46s Doom Scroll Hell ♥ 2 love this interpretation of the theme. the illustrations are actually amazing. took me a minute to figure out the core gameplay, mostly my own fault. crazy that you did the music all by yourself too. 10/10 captions. great entry!
Apr 7 10:07:32 5m 11s Depths Help ♥ 2 this is WAY deeper of a game than meets the eye. thought it would just be a basic layer sorting thing but damn. don't want to spoil it for anyone but I can say I really enjoyed it. great submission!
Apr 7 10:11:44 4m 12s Cave of Gorbs ♥ 2 it's actually insane how much you managed to do in such a short amount of time. love the art and the overall vibe. had similar issues like @psychomonster but nothing super serious. great entry!
Apr 7 10:20:34 8m 50s Puppeteer ♥ 3 this is actually incredible, my favourite submission so far. super impressive tech. very intuitive after the short tutorial. the only thing I would add is to communicate that space pauses time - took me a min to figure that out by myself in the level where that's first required. but other than that, super cool idea, great execution, solid submission. great job!
Apr 7 10:25:01 4m 27s . ♥ 3 super impressive job for a 48h jam. I thought about inscryption and balatro before reading that they were inspirations haha, makes sense. beyond impressed. like @rinevard said, it's a bit luck heavy, but it's such a minor thing in the context of the game itself and what you managed to create. love the graphics and mood - you should enable those ratings!
Apr 7 13:28:00 3h 02m The Hole ♥ 2 made it all the way through 😎 nice submission! my biggest achievement: an albatross on hole 9. music was indeed a bop. sometimes the ball just stops entirely when landing despite having enough momentum to continue - but other than that, great job!
Apr 7 13:49:26 21m 26s Grip of the Abyss ♥ 3 poor guy is just destined to die. bro needs to work on his repair skills got a solid 268. nice entry! I like the problem of figuring out the best pathing to solve the problems showing up. graphics are 10/10
Apr 7 14:02:50 13m 24s Sea Devil ♥ 2 actually insanely good graphics in such a short amount of time, hats off for that! I liked it, bit of a meditative experience. a minor comment is that the audio is a little low, but maybe intentional. nice submission :) 🐟
Apr 7 14:08:16 5m 26s Let Me Check My Pockets! ♥ 2 love the take on the theme lmao. I like the graphics and audio, and the game runs super smoothly. really good first entry, great job!
Apr 7 14:22:47 14m 31s Save the Queen ♥ 2 took a min to understand the controls, but I like the strategic pathing aspect of it. controls could be streamlined a little like @daandruff mentioned, but overall I enjoyed it. nice submission!
Apr 7 14:24:54 2m 07s SATURATION ♥ 2 echoing what others are saying about the game flow feeling a little slow. but I absolutely love the graphics and mood/atmosphere, you nailed those. from the images alone it looks steam ready. nice submission!
Apr 7 19:50:12 5h 25m Igbi Goes Deep ♥ 2 the music in this game is unreal, every piece is an absolute bop, I've never been so impressed by music in a game jam game before, can't get over it, never heard of mixcraft before but this game on its own made me try it out lol I had some similar issues as @benskca though, specifically regarding permadeath and the inventory slots in the web build of the game + font was pretty hard to read. I was also stuck in the hub for a few minutes before realizing I could just continue going right. I really dig the project as a whole, super impressive to get this done within 48h 👏
Apr 7 19:55:34 5m 22s Dead & Buried ♥ 1 I love the presentation and overall feel (much thanks to the graphics and audio, and John), and it was surprisingly engaging once it got started - also appreciate you putting the palette in the description, got it bookmarked now :) great submission!
Apr 7 20:31:16 35m 42s Debts in the Depths ♥ 2 This is the type of game that makes me realize that I will never win with my own game. I am beyond impressed that you managed to do ALL of this in 48h, by yourself, that's absolutely nuts. I saw on itch that you have been wanting to make a game like this for a while, so I'll mainly go over problems/issues I faced during my playthrough because the overall idea, polish and feel is incredible. I can't express how good this submission is. Easily my favourite so far. I played through all levels. During the first few levels I didn't realise I could use my mage to shoot, and the difficulty felt challenging but reasonable. After I realized though, I never had to think about my plays. How investing works isn't really communicated in any way, so I didn't know what it did at the start, but man, it's is absolutely op. All levels were super easy when I just spent (almost) all of my money on investing each shop. Just collecting all the gold from the investments when you've bought a lot of it took like a minute each round, was getting 20k+ at the boss. Investing definitely needs nerfing, but I also felt like the mana attacks were also quite strong. Maybe they just felt this way because the levels were so easy with all the money I saved up. Regardless, super impressive. Definitely 5/5
Apr 7 20:36:11 4m 55s Depths of the Deity ♥ 1 very impressive to get all of this done in 12 hours!! actually really fun once I got the hang of it. like others have mentioned, what you can do could maybe be communicated a little better? regardless, super solid entry, nice job!
Apr 7 20:47:06 10m 55s Depths of Color ♥ 2 what a nice entry! love your take on the theme, audio was spot on and felt like walking around at a museum. sadly for me (macbook), the eyes of the cat were instantly visible against the rest of the white painting for like 7 of the 10 paintings. I also found that it's possible to spam click the cat to get extra points after you've found it. overall though, definitely one of the best vibes of the games I've reviewed and easily gets a 5/5 in mood.
Apr 7 21:25:35 38m 29s Depth Protocol ♥ 1 I want to try it, but there are no links!
Apr 7 21:30:57 5m 22s Deep Drop ♥ 3 +1 for sucking at this game. always love me a foddy-like, I did yours and am weirdly drawn to the eclectic artstyle. nice submission!
Apr 8 18:51:24 21h 20m Tidehold ♥ 1 looks amazing, super polished! checked out the stream for a bit, very nice itch page!
Apr 8 18:58:58 7m 34s Faith-e-vator ♥ 2 super fun entry! very polished and love the animations, great submission! looks awesome on itch
Apr 9 08:22:57 13h 23m Fear of Sea ♥ 2 amazing looking game, almost looks like a AAA game, and all made in 72h is crazy, especially making it in your own engine. super impressive, great submission!
Apr 9 08:33:20 10m 23s The Well of Secrets ♥ 1 this was actually so good. really nice usage of light and sound design. great submission!
Apr 9 08:48:25 15m 05s DeepFrame 9 ♥ 2 met you at the stream yesterday, had a lot of fun with this one, and love that you made it available on mobile as well - works insane well on a touch device! super impressive!
Apr 9 09:50:57 1h 02m DungeonDescent ♥ 2 "and a mobile game I played over 10 years ago." haha these are the best inspirations actually loved this, the "mm" sound effects are etched into my brain now. the gameplay loop is very addicting and surprisingly balanced (although my first runs ended quite quickly lol), which is tough to achieve in such a short dev period. the ui and font choice could use some work, and I wish you could hover over passives/trinkets after you open them from the chest to see their effects. you could definitely polish this up a little and release it as a full game, the juice and base idea is incredible - spent most on this than any other game so far. nice job!
Apr 9 09:57:51 6m 54s I'm 14 and this is deep ♥ 3 best title of any entry this jam
Apr 9 20:01:55 10h 04m Antz vs Plantz ♥ 4 this is such a fun and polished game, holy. sound design is cozy, new elements are introduced gradually, and it's just overall really really fun. would definitely love to see this being developed further. super innovative! amazing submission, honestly one of the best I've played
Apr 12 08:08:12 60h 06m Focus Hunt ♥ 2 thanks for adding me to the list on gh! love this take on the theme, and the artstyle fits really nicely. I would have probably removed/marked items that have been found already like someone else mentioned above, but it really a minor thing. solid submission, nice job!
Apr 12 08:15:59 7m 47s The chronicles of Mr. Marmo ♥ 2 am I participating in the extinction of innocent sea animals?? 😭 but man this is so well done, love the unique artstyle (and sound effects lol), fitting theme, crazy amount of levels for a weekend project. really enjoyed this one, intuitive and the pipe puzzles were weirdly satisfying to solve. nice submission!
Apr 12 10:57:39 2h 41m Moos from the Depth of Space ♥ 0 really well executed, nicely balanced - like others have said it gets intense especially towards the end but in a perfect way. the art is a great match - amazing entry, bookmarked it for later as well!
Apr 12 22:06:56 11h 09m Echo-Of-Fallens ♥ 1 echoing (get it?) what others have said here, the atmosphere is outstanding. honestly would love to see you develop it further, I think the combat could feel a bit better and expanded upon? impressed you managed to create it solo just over the weekend regardless. super nice submission!
