Apr 10 03:55:07 Unearth ♥ 3 Cool game! The gameplay is unique, the camera navigation is smooth and the little miner bugs are super charming. I can't say I enjoyed every squeal these little fucks make, the one that plays when you direct them could certainly wear on a weaker soul, but the scream when they get crushed to bits by falling rubble is quite satisfying!
Apr 10 04:00:18 5m 11s DEPTH CHARGE ♥ 3 I didn't have a controller handy and I wasn't any good at it at all, but this is a fun game! The gameplay mechanics are unique while being simple enough that I feel dumb for being bad at it, which of course leads to me restarting it countless times. It's minimal but effective with what it presents. Great work!
Apr 10 04:22:44 22m 26s Sunken Secrets ♥ 2 This game is overall very nice on the eyes. Everything works perfect. The shooting looks cool and the movement is super fluid. Impressive compo
Apr 10 04:27:27 4m 43s Race Through the Depths ♥ 1 Just more proof I suck at video games
Apr 10 04:29:06 1m 39s Dungeon Cartographer ♥ 4 dungeon-map.png
Apr 11 02:52:51 22h 23m Depths of Discovery ♥ 1 Interesting idea! There's something to be said for the fact that I've played a bunch of submarine games already this jam and none of them have played like this one. The art is charming and the gameplay is chill and stress-free.
Apr 11 02:56:54 4m 03s Krabby Asscape ♥ 4 This game is really well put together, I phased through some walls but it didn't take me out of the game one bit. I found myself just pretending the walls worked anyway to play how it was meant to be played, more than partially out of respect for the huge worm colon I was approaching rapidly and how cool it looked. Everything in this game looks great, love our crab protagonist and the name krabby asscape is a winner for sure. Really great work!
Apr 11 03:12:15 15m 21s BUMMÖCK ♥ 2 This game is incredible! The physics work flawlessly and the movement is seriously fun to try and get the hang of. I love the way it looks too, made me think of Kirby's Dream Course with how the perspective is played. The uncanny vibe the music brings is just the cherry on top. The entire aesthetic of this is intoxicating and I absolutely love this interpretation of the theme.
Apr 11 17:12:40 14h 00m Explorem Ipsum: Catacombs of Time ♥ 1 Really nice art style! The background of the title screen is super cool, almost hypnotizing. The sound it makes when you move gets a bit repetitive but that's a nitpick, overall really cool game.
Apr 11 17:16:09 3m 29s Somnium ♥ 3 Surreal game! The outside part with the horses is seriously beautiful but just overall everything looks really really nice. I spent far too long walking down the SCP style endless hallway as well as trying to reach the blurry rainbow outside, but I did eventually realize I wasnt making any progress lmao. Really cool experience overall
Apr 11 17:21:24 5m 15s De Profundis ♥ 1 The art style is incredibly charming and it's very satisfying drilling through the blocks, so much so that it's very unsatisfying when one is left just out of reach lol. Feels like when you peel a sticker off of something and a few white chunks are left over. This is the only game I've played thus far that let me flush myself down a toilet, great work!
Apr 11 17:25:16 3m 52s Submerged Pulse ♥ 2 I dont know how I've played as many submarine games as I have without happening upon one that uses sonar, this is a super fun interpretation of the theme. The version I played was unstable but I still can for sure appreciate the echolocation mechanic, the music is fantastic and I pretty much unconditionally love the inclusion of voice lines in ld games. Really cool experience
Apr 12 02:48:23 9h 23m Hadal ♥ 5 Sub-2 minutes is as good as it's gonna get lol, I'm generally not great at video games so I'm pretty proud of that. Took me far too long to realize the up arrow wasn't doing anything at all, but when I stopped pressing it I got way worse at the game so I've still been pressing it. I didn't give this one enough praise on stream since I was nearing the end and didn't want to get roped into chasing a high score for an hour but rest assured I did that anyway once there wasn't a live audience of people watching me like a caged zoo animal as I floundered around your game (somewhat literally.) The music is really good, love how it changes and gets more intense as you get higher and higher up. The movement is creative, smooth, and glitch-free with gameplay that's both self explanatory and super addictive. Overall great work and please never change your intro! hadalhighscore.JPG
Apr 12 17:19:46 14h 31m Hello Darkness ♥ 2 This game is really good, I always love the grainy 3d style! Although I really like the way the graphics look I will say that youtube playback glitches and distorts when static is on screen (See: any FNAF video just after they die), it's been a problem for years that they've never fixed and your game seemingly has the same effect. SO if you want videos to be made of your game adding color or maybe even increasing the pixel size would probably fix the issue, if that isn't a priority to you though just leave it as-is, like I said I do like how it looks now. The gameplay is very stress inducing and I wasn't able to get very far at all, but this is easily my favorite interpretation of a submarine game I've seen thus far - which is saying a lot, there are countless submarine games this time around lol. Overall it's very polished and considering your game last jam I'm consistently impressed with what you guys are able to pull off in 72 short hours. Good shit
Apr 12 23:04:04 5h 44m Nomisoul ♥ 1 Are you ok?
Apr 13 02:17:07 3h 13m A Very Deep Tunnel ♥ 2 https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=dmOP1shQEJfRwnzU&t=1332 Lots of fun! Really liked this one. The minecart not only looks cool, but also adds my favorite section to the beat. The music is great and doesn't get old one bit, and the gameplay is simple and fun while running surprisingly well for how much is going on on screen. I accidentally purchased lights I'd already bought a few times which shouldn't probably be able to happen along with getting stuck in the wall when buying things but I'm sure you already know about those issues and none of them took away from the experience one bit. Overall I had a great time
Apr 13 02:30:00 12m 53s Hireblades ♥ 2 https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=xMCtwtiCc9dnAyFc&t=3028 Cool game! I'm not very good at it but I had a good time. Everything works well and I wasn't confused at any point, which is more than I can say for most strategy games lol. The sprites are charming and everything plays smoothly, overall really impressive compo!
Apr 13 05:28:37 2h 58m Crabs in a Bucket ♥ 2 Super original gameplay and likeable sprites, found myself really trying my best here and still falling short lol, this game is quite difficult or at least it was to me. That said I had a lot of fun trying to get further down. Jumps removing a layer from the floor is a really interesting mechanic and bowling over the crabs with boulders is very satisfying. I only got the iron boots one time but it really opened up some interesting maneuvers and I felt truly powerful. Really fun game https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=mruxLhNDrx1PmBLZ&t=4939
Apr 13 06:05:55 37m 18s The Drop ♥ 1 This one is a lot of fun. The gameplay is both self explanatory and super addictive and the announcers are a super creative touch. Love how the music stops when my character breaks every bone in his body, really makes you FEEL the impact. That said the music is incredible, and overall this is one of my favorites from this jam. https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=ojKW5qkJOBqv9pnY&t=3790
Apr 13 06:14:35 8m 40s Super Mecha Diggin Dodge Idle ♥ 1 Fun game. Seemingly simple concept but as you go the situation unfolding in front of you becomes more and more convoluted and hilarious. The music is absolutely perfect, and the graphics remind me of an old flash game which is an aesthetic I love. https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=2-l0M6LM6fTFPPWV&t=6078
Apr 13 07:08:16 53m 41s Depth of Mind ♥ 1 Really impressive compo! I was going strong until I became stuck in an endless loop of multiple-personality disorder induced depression where my last man standing with one power left could only stand cowering, and that's not a compliment I can give to very many games! Had fun with this one. https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=7Kf6o8QO1nmFZjYl&t=10909
Apr 13 07:43:03 34m 47s Depths of Death ♥ 1 Cool game. It's a weird compliment but I love that the shooting happens automatically. I didn't use block or dash a single time but I had fun lol, any game where you can strike rats with lightning is a winner in my book. It's simple but effective
Apr 14 06:22:05 22h 39m Mr. Money's Phenomenally Soggy Water Removal Romp ♥ 4 https://www.youtube.com/live/SCbuh9WZHdA?si=s_HeEIrm8JmC9QWC&t=8520 This is my favorite game of the entire jam thus far. Bar none. Such a fun concept and the fact that your movement becomes quicker as you play the game is perfect for my attention span, not that I was getting bored by any means. The idea of draining a lake is not only a super fun interpretation of the theme, but also a goal that I immediately felt compelled to chase. That drive was aided by the graphics which are super nice on the eyes and smooth, lag-free, satisfying movement. I love the machines and their many moving doodads, and it's incredible how well this game runs given just how many doodads are moving around. As was pointed out to me this is because of there being no shadows, which just led me to wonder why on earth this style isn't more common. The music is really nice and it's overall just a super relaxing experience that feels 100% complete. Nothing but praise for this. I had 43 games to get through on stream and I still spent 50 minutes playing this game all the way to completion. Fantastic work
Apr 14 06:28:23 6m 18s Down The Rabbit Hole ♥ 1 Cool idea, never would've thought to use Ludum Dare like a writing prompt. It's well written and there are actually seemingly quite a few branching paths, I found 3 endings myself. I like the one where I block the hole in my spaceship with my body
Apr 14 06:39:50 11m 27s The Dive ♥ 1 I was manhandled by the Avatar of the Neverender
Apr 14 06:45:12 5m 22s Doctrines - LD57 Game ♥ 2 Lots of cool elements, love the vibe and it was fun seeing all the different enemies you could summon. The card selection obviously leaves something to be desired but I know you know that, and I'd rather focus on how everything works perfectly and runs smoothly. You've got a really nice base for a game here and I'm excited to see where you take it moving forward.
Apr 19 22:50:50 136h 05m Depths of the Heart ♥ 4 https://www.youtube.com/live/dIHuvZhFPa8?si=f1GQ28Js5G_4Qhdy&t=154 I haven't played a lot of games this jam where the humor has appealed to me, but this one I found quite funny. Love the premise. The gameplay adds to the absurdity of what's going on and can yield some very unique sentences. My favorite that I got was "I reach for the depths here in darkness can I express my truth, Those normies there in the reefs wouldn't understand me like you do." because it's slam poetry and if I had just remembered to packet my sperm before talking to the damn squid she would have fallen head over high heels for my little incel protag and I could have totally gotten poor Gordo the underwater pussy he deserves. I liked this one a lot
Apr 21 18:06:51 43h 16m Deep Truth ♥ 2 Cool game! Great music and theme use, I wish the camera followed the player but aside from that I had a lot of fun here, it was certainly perfect for the 4/20 stream. It seemed like some obstacles were totally unavoidable but maybe I'm just terrible! I did manage to get an S though so that makes up for all my floundering. It's a lot of fun hearing the pseudo-randomly cobbled together psychedelic realizations after each fatal faceplant. Thanks for stopping by the stream! https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=BpXa_A9ByzLZjhKr&t=5808
Apr 21 18:21:40 14m 49s Wobble Down ♥ 0 This game is hilarious. It's borderline a prank. The mountain is so fucking huge that past a certain point I couldn't bring myself to speed up, but I simply had to see the end. Thus, here's a 40 minute video of us playing your game. It would have been irresponsible to go any faster. https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=s-xWJBEJhjDnLeS-&t=7147
Apr 21 18:32:53 11m 13s Fire Exit ♥ 2 Played your game on the 4/20 stream! Was a coughing mess through a good bit of it for no particular reason but we had a good time! Overall it's quite well put together and I loved the smoking elf as well as the big fleshy goop monster https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=3yhOsE9T2i2kPozB&t=10106
Apr 21 19:14:29 41m 36s High Well to Hell ♥ 2 Love the art style! We had fun with this one, very charming game. Wish it was longer but of course I understand running out of time, I have each and every jam I've participated in lol. What's here is quite enjoyable, I enjoyed the gluttony level https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=iZCrU6NtPPoWDDlU&t=12228
Apr 21 19:19:02 4m 33s Subnet ♥ 0 I got the highscore for this build of the game but someone in these comments got like 62k so I assume the leaderboard resets every time you guys update, either way I'm considering myself the king of this game. We played in on stream and had a great time with it. Love the way it looks and plays, overall very impressive https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=JkX0at8lUHAVA5Vm&t=12758
Apr 21 20:02:56 43m 54s Pogo Dwarf ♥ 1 Far too much time was spent on a jump that I'm still not convinced is possible at all. I am not good at video games and this is a hard ass game. Very few games this jam have made me rage like this one did. Here is an hour and 40 minutes of me playing it https://www.youtube.com/live/E-NlOS3kZmo?si=O64baCm6IU7eH-8l&t=1191 https://www.youtube.com/live/dIHuvZhFPa8?si=Ekd7L8elGPOOnspw&t=2896
Apr 21 20:10:19 7m 23s AsterVoid ♥ 2 This game is fantastic! Love games where you can float around freely and that's what this one is all about. Counting up all the streams I've played it on I have played this game for a grand total of 1 hour and 13 minutes. It's fun flying the ship around and bonking the pussy-faced squids. Looking out at all the floating rocks is quite mesmerizing, this is one of the most visually appealing games I've played on stream this jam and I can say with confidence it ignites my sense of exploration like nearly none of these jam games have. I consider this a very FERTILE game, as I see so many ways this can be taken moving forward that it gets me excited to revisit this with each new update. So far each patch has improved the game tenfold, great work overall https://www.youtube.com/live/SCbuh9WZHdA?si=irjIUsxTUzaJXn0l&t=6928 https://www.youtube.com/live/IBbnvXqYD3A?si=kayvGx8KkBYQNvTo&t=4998 https://www.youtube.com/live/dIHuvZhFPa8?si=z-rwd4mjG41noWSK&t=10349
Apr 21 20:21:22 11m 03s Oasis Dawn ♥ 1 I could not beat it but I had a good time, I like that the tie in with depth was literally just the exposition at the beginning, I say count it! Had fun rolling around dodging the big guys huge sword swings, which look as impactful visually as they are damaging to my poor player's hp. For the life of me I couldn't heal on purpose but I did manage to do it accidentally a couple of times, parrying proved to be quite difficult or at least I couldn't seem to get the timing right. Overall I liked it even if the theme is only there in spirit lol https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=rovzazszjm1ez9mW&t=6741
Apr 21 20:29:10 7m 48s The Final Descent ♥ 1 Love how this game looks and plays! I have a soft spot for Doom style games and the sparse ammo makes for tension despite the miner zombies not being overly threatening so far as appearance goes. That said, I still found myself jumping out of my skin on several occasions when I would find them just around a corner where I wasn't expecting them to be. Very well put together in general, but for a COMPO GAME, this is a truly impressive feat. Awesome game, great work, I had a lot of fun playing. https://www.youtube.com/live/w-YTJVj3rns?si=L6dcmNvNKEi4UQyZ&t=7948
Apr 21 20:39:35 10m 25s Depths of Darvaza 2 ♥ 2 Love the color palette! The game is simple yet very effective, love that your movement is upgraded as you progress through the game. Everything works flawlessly and I was able to beat the game so it of course gets points for that. Overall I had a good time with this one! https://www.youtube.com/live/IBbnvXqYD3A?si=XAaGgQXk9nYSmR1o&t=1957
Apr 21 20:50:02 10m 27s A New Hell ♥ 2 This game was played at the very beginning of the 4/20 stream so I wasn't very good at it and there was a bit of technical difficulty towards the beginning (on my stream, not your game) but I played it for an hour total so enjoy my floundering lmao, things pick up once a German appears at around 30 minutes into the stream so if you want to start at that part I don't blame you. Overall I ended up having fun despite my grumbling towards the beginning but you should add a cooldown to the attack because I found out you can spam it once I got to the boss. Rest assured I didn't spam it at all before that though, so you can see my fumbling about in all its glory https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=4pQpoNqMIz98aLw3&t=1185
Apr 21 21:00:18 10m 16s Depth Of Debts ♥ 1 I started this game in a bad mood so my comments towards the beginning are fairly negative, but if you look ahead in the VOD you'll see I played this game for an hour and 46 minutes, which is easily longer than I've played any game in one sitting this jam. I wasn't able to beat it but the freeform digging ignites my sense of exploration like no other game has this jam. PLEASE keep working on this and add more structures to be found, more materials to dig through and collect, and more tools to dig with in the future. This game has me more excited about the possibility of expansion than 90% of games I've played thus far, there is some serious serious potential here and I was glued to the game for every second. I've played a lot of games where you dig in a cave. None of them are as cool as this one. Fantastic work. Change the name though lol https://www.youtube.com/live/7r97dJUIDyk?si=6ng8c2X1JpZOrixH&t=7200
Apr 21 21:09:04 8m 46s Flatline ♥ 1 This is a really cool game ripe for expansion. The gameplay is deceptively simple while also presenting a serious challenge and making you consider every move you're going to make before you set your glowing ball in motion. I don't normally like puzzle games but this one is for sure a hit. The graphics are nice on the eyes and the voice acting is hilarious, even if that might not have been the intention. I didn't beat it on stream since I was already nearing the end but this still held me up for around 35 minutes. Making something addictive, fun, minimal, puzzling and difficult all at once is a tall order but this game knocks it out of the park. I'll be returning to this I'm sure. Seriously awesome submission https://www.youtube.com/live/7r97dJUIDyk?si=2A40JqYi0eX1CJtp&t=13730
Apr 22 06:19:35 9h 10m O.R.B.I.T. ♥ 3 Cool game, very relaxing. Love the music and the colors are very very nice on the eyes. Started my stream in a good mood because of this one, thanks for submitting! https://www.youtube.com/live/kSaTrhFTAjQ?si=MoqNLGKuRCnk8tSM&t=147
Apr 22 06:45:42 26m 07s Escape The Depths ♥ 1 Loved this game! I played this on stream for an hour and 37 minutes in one sitting. With some tweaks to the camera I feel like this could be a super satisfying experience. I love games where you fly and I love games where you go fast, so here I am giving all 5's to a game where you fly and go fast. It really is that simple. This game is ripe for expansion and I'll definitely be back for this one with a controller. Rename it to "Evil Cometh"! Thanks so much for submitting, perfect streaming game https://www.youtube.com/live/kSaTrhFTAjQ?si=sc40lLqeQNVZaZ3w&t=7042
Apr 22 07:17:31 31m 49s abyss ♥ 1 https://www.youtube.com/live/kSaTrhFTAjQ?si=9TiDbcI2BrchmXlm&t=2670 I struggled greatly! Love the art and the physics are really well done. Overall this game is super well put together, seriously impressive. Here's my first strategy from before I knew what was going on which did not work at all abyssfailure.JPG Annnd here's the winner Abysstower.JPG
