| Apr 7 20:07:02 | DeepFrame 9 | ♥ 1 | aAAAH This is a lovely entry! Pure and great feeling, has a "one more go" feel to it, great music and vibes. Super! | |
| Apr 8 21:31:24 | 25h 24m | INFERNAL DESCENT | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed this! A good balance of puzzle and narrative and a lovely ending too! I thought the mechanics felt good to use, were intuitive and well paced. I feel like you made a great toolkit that could be expanded to a bigger game with time! A bit of practice with blender and your levels could become MAGIC! but as it is, the low poly style has its own charm. Great work as always :D |
| Apr 9 08:33:20 | 11h 01m | BURIED | ♥ 1 | GREAT audio and mood on this one! Controls were a little tricky but it looks great and I gave it a good few goes :) Nice work |
| Apr 9 09:15:06 | 41m 46s | Meanepth | ♥ 2 | HOT DAMN! This is an excellent entry. Top marks for audio from me. Graphics looked great, killer mood too. Really nice stuff. I NEARLY stopped playing as I thought it was bugged out. the end of the tunnel was blocked, so I thought I needed to backtrack, so I ended up back in the fall room and then went al the way back to the blockage before the level progressed. Glad I stuck with it as the later levels have some lovely atmosphere. one HUGE plus point I want to add.. the changing footstep sounds on each floor type REALLY added to the mood. Wonderful stuff. Great work. |
| Apr 9 09:38:52 | 23m 46s | Resurface | ♥ 1 | DAMN YOU!!! DO you know how many games I need to play right now? And then you go and make something addictive and compelling like this and I keep playing it! :D Seriously wonderful entry here. Maybe my favorite so far. Perfect balance of progress, zen and self added pressure. Having to choose between upgrades and fixing the base is a lovely touch. audio is fantastic and doesnt become repetitive. I really like this one. Well done. |
| Apr 9 10:06:25 | 27m 33s | Just a few kilometers | ♥ 1 | Gaaah this is a good one. Very engaging, lovely balance mechanic, great audio, top marks for mood. Lovely work. |
| Apr 9 10:16:23 | 9m 58s | Depth of Field | ♥ 0 | This is WONDERFUL! So fun, cute, charming, hell of a mood, funny, compact... just great stuff all around. Top marks honestly, this is a great entry. |
| Apr 9 11:55:43 | 1h 39m | Armstrong: Plunge, Protect, Punch | ♥ 1 | Excellent audio and sprites in this. Lovely feel and the feel of hitting enemies is wonderful. Lovely stuff. |
| Apr 9 14:44:06 | 2h 48m | TowerFlip | ♥ 0 | This looks lovely and has a good feel, but I don;t think I am smart enough to play it! Couldn't quite work it out. |
| Apr 16 08:53:42 | 162h 09m | A Very Deep Tunnel | ♥ 1 | really loved this one. Tope marks in a few categories! Choice to use a sprite as the main character paid off nicely. The layered audio as the game gets more complete was lovely. I found it frustrating to have to collect ALL of the gems, it would have been nice if they floated towards you and collected. the placement of the hives was a bit off as I expected it to be where I was standing, not the direction I was facing and then could not move them after placement. All minor things though, a very satisfying and solid entry. Great work |
| Apr 16 08:58:29 | 4m 47s | Race Through the Depths | ♥ 1 | I am not really one for precision jump platformers but I did give this one several tries! Got to the "blind jump" on the third moving platform and just couldn't work out where to go. Died three times and gave up there :) Nice entry though with some good feel and looks. |
| Apr 16 09:21:41 | 23m 12s | Marianas Miner | ♥ 1 | nice little digger game here. I started going down as the theme is depth but then hit an artificial wall pretty fast, so ended up going upwards! :D I didn't realise the arrows were harpoons, but when I did it made a difference. Cool entry! |
| Apr 16 09:58:39 | 36m 58s | Shleep | ♥ 4 | Played this for WAY longer than I should have with all the other games I need to rate! :D My kids also loved this and got to 159,000 sheep counted before the frame rate and audio tanked :D Lovely entry, nice work, ton of heart and one I will remember. Well done all! |
| Apr 16 10:04:18 | 5m 39s | Pits and Bricks | ♥ 1 | Nice game here, gave it a few goes and really enjoyed trying to defend the brick makers. |
| Apr 16 10:24:09 | 19m 51s | Fall Man, Into The Sinkhole | ♥ 0 | hah! fun little one this! :) love the sound effects and collecting coins is satisfying. Nice! |
| Apr 16 10:28:21 | 4m 12s | MESSIER 104 CBH | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed this. Lovely chill audio, death sound is awesome! love the feel of changing direction on thrust and the mental math of accepting damage for health to prevent the black hole expanding. Solid work. |
| Apr 16 10:33:55 | 5m 34s | Descent Protocol | ♥ 3 | Firstly, this looks lovely with a lot of mood in the audio, great work there. I was shocked by the acceleration coming off the swing! and I think the falling damage is a bit too strict, but something good here. |
| Apr 16 11:10:56 | 37m 01s | Fisherman's Fiend | ♥ 3 | Played this with my daughter (8) and she really liked it. She said - "Its really creepy, but I like it when you are fishing out the ghosts" There are a ton of systems in here and I can see why the game is so huge to make! Glad you finished it as we had a lot of fun with it. Great entry |
| Apr 16 11:28:13 | 17m 17s | Down Golf | ♥ 1 | This was looooovley!!! :D Like really enjoyed this. EXCELLENT audio, really added to the charm. Good feel mechanic too. Also, best end screen I have seen this jam! I want a YAY FLAG! yayflag.png |
| Apr 16 12:37:08 | 1h 08m | Directive: Downwards | ♥ 0 | I really liked this game but it took me a few tries to get the feel of the grapple right! I could imagine the sounds in my head. Nice entry! |
| Apr 16 12:40:35 | 3m 27s | Saving Turtle Rainn | ♥ 1 | Really love the audio and mood in this one. Was stuck for AGES at the start though as I didn't read the instructions and nothing advanced the text :D |
| Apr 16 12:49:54 | 9m 19s | Focus! | ♥ 1 | Well, I got the man to move, threw a tennis ball at the dog and then was stuck! Haven't managed to finish it and the looping music drove me crazy! :D But otherwise, this is a really nice take on the theme and well put together. Solid entry! |
| Apr 16 13:20:13 | 30m 19s | Sushi Pit | ♥ 0 | This was really good fun! Like people above, trying to play this in browser crashes but I downloaded so I could take a look. Love the UI and pace of it, gets a bit frustrating when the sushi you need isn't in the pile, but it's a good entry. Glad I played it. |
| Apr 16 13:26:31 | 6m 18s | Drilling in the Deep | ♥ 1 | oooh the animation on the main character is LOVELY in this! Great work. Took me a few goes to realise I needed to return to the sub to empty my pockets, but really got into this. Nice. |
| Apr 16 13:30:45 | 4m 14s | Submersible L337 | ♥ 1 | the digital input on what feels like it should be an analogue game really threw me, but I pressed on and enjoyed this. Lovely audio work too! :) |
| Apr 16 13:32:37 | 1m 52s | Schooling | ♥ 1 | Took me a while to work out the ins and outs of this but a really nice end result when I did. Great mood too! |
| Apr 16 14:00:57 | 28m 20s | The Final Descent | ♥ 1 | I like the mix of 2D spites and 3D assets. Also, fun to hear the default unreal shooting sound and see the doom guy! :D |
| Apr 16 14:56:45 | 55m 48s | The Depths of Planet Z73 | ♥ 0 | Nice straightforward upgrade path and some really nice mood here. Great audio too! |
| Apr 16 15:01:46 | 5m 01s | The Depths of Madness | ♥ 1 | you know, I am giving this top marks in all listed categories here. it is a wonderful entry, excellent mood and writing, graphics really tie it all together. Wonderful. |
| Apr 16 15:16:02 | 14m 16s | A knight and his well | ♥ 1 | The down strike seems to kill in one shot whereas the regular attack takes a few. This means I only used downstrike but still had a great time :D Good entry! |
| Apr 16 15:26:00 | 9m 58s | SATURATION | ♥ 0 | had a few goes at this but unfortunately never managed to find anything. The mood is great, and I have to call out the excellent font and UI design! :) Solid entry and intriguing. |
| Apr 16 15:30:17 | 4m 17s | Descent to sunrise | ♥ 1 | I love a good character swap game like Trine etc. Nice entry and a lot of fun to play. |
| Apr 16 15:39:58 | 9m 41s | The Hole | ♥ 1 | Nice idea but the looping music gets a bit much! love that it is procedural though and the feel is lovely. |
| Apr 16 18:20:54 | 2h 40m | Deepest Canyon | ♥ 1 | really tricky the first few times and then I got into the rhythm. Nice! |
| Apr 16 18:25:09 | 4m 15s | Earth Below | ♥ 1 | really quite hard! :D but lovely concept and sprites |
| Apr 16 18:41:03 | 15m 54s | Depths Driller | ♥ 0 | Music and mood were lovely, VERY tricky trying to defend when the enemies appear! but enjoyed this a lot. Nice work. |
| Apr 16 19:15:26 | 34m 23s | Deeper | ♥ 0 | Top marks on humour! We laughed a LOT at the sudoku appearance :D Great work! |
| Apr 16 19:21:19 | 5m 53s | Core Breach | ♥ 1 | Gaaaah this is SO CLEAN! I love it. Pure form and design, really nicely done. |
| Apr 17 11:33:47 | 16h 12m | TapTapTapTapTapTapTapTap | ♥ 1 | I really vibed with this. Nice entry and well put together. Has that "Hundreds" feel to it which is a great thing. |
| Apr 17 11:36:53 | 3m 06s | ONLY GO DOWN | ♥ 1 | Great audio and mood on this one. Feels lovely to play too. |
| Apr 17 11:38:49 | 1m 56s | Abyss Longing | ♥ 1 | Very sensitive controls and has the same issue I think my game has of being too punishing on the falling :D But a lovely mood and audio here, nicely done. |
| Apr 17 11:41:20 | 2m 31s | The darkest depths | ♥ 1 | Gaaaah this looks gorgeous. Feels nice to play and has a ton of atmosphere. Nicely done. |
| Apr 17 11:47:40 | 6m 20s | RainDrops | ♥ 1 | This is great to see, we have mad a very similar core mechanic to each other! :D I love the execution and mood of yours, has the "unfinished swan" feel to it and a real sense of mood. Great stuff! ezdgbhn.png |
| Apr 17 12:09:48 | 22m 08s | Depths Sickness | ♥ 2 | I really like this. I also laughed at the idea of rescuing someone who is like "Here is $200!" :D Great entry |
| Apr 17 12:13:04 | 3m 16s | Drill Crew | ♥ 1 | Very nicely done. Enjoyed this one, cool concept,. fits the theme and feels great to play. |
| Apr 17 12:21:24 | 8m 20s | Hole Punch | ♥ 1 | This was lovely and a fun little entry... Until my son and wife saw me play and THEN IT WAS A CONTEST My wife won with 42m... This captured our time! |
| Apr 17 12:46:07 | 24m 43s | Miner TD | ♥ 0 | I got stuck as I didn't upgrade the range and had no money to get anything else, but a lovely entry! I love the switch between the two styles of games and the timing aspect of the hook is enjoyable. Nice! |
| Apr 17 13:04:43 | 18m 36s | From Oblivion | ♥ 3 | High scores from me here for mood, audio and theme, great atmosphere and nice feel. |
| Apr 17 13:06:19 | 1m 36s | Assessment 57 | ♥ 1 | REALLY interesting puzzle game and one I can imagine lots of people clicking with, but I really struggled to work this one out :) managed the first couple but got stuck soon after. Wonderful mood and audio though, great presentation. |
| Apr 17 13:23:51 | 17m 32s | Doors | ♥ 1 | came to check this out as I remember your great work on Microwars. Lovely little "stanley parable light" here :) nice work |
| Apr 18 19:26:11 | 30h 02m | Spear Bird | ♥ 3 | Lovely loop here, great fun and has that "one more go" feel to it. Nice work! |
| Apr 19 15:26:55 | 20h 00m | Depths Space 9 | ♥ 2 | You know, I was playing this like "this is too punishing.. the player needs more time..." and then gave it another 5-6 goes trying to get better at it! That means it is just about right :D Nice work! |
| Apr 20 06:56:44 | 15h 29m | The Clockwork Heart | ♥ 1 | This is great. One of the most "Complete" games I have played. GREAT puzzle flow and design, some really nice touches, I love the statues tell the story and had be intrigued enough to play through to the end. Can't offer much criticism other than I didn't realise the green engine was making the main gate door open till the end and maybe add a sound for when an item hasn't worked, but these are VERY minor things. Great entry here, really nice work. |
| Apr 20 07:05:39 | 8m 55s | Subnet | ♥ 0 | Top marks for graphics and mood here. Looking at your past entries you have a really clean and wonderfully minimal visual style that works very well for these types of games. Very nice stuff! |
| Apr 20 07:12:49 | 7m 10s | Abimes | ♥ 3 | Wonderful mood and visuals. I Would have given top audio marks too but you have opted out of audio? A shame as the changing music when the shark arrives was lovely. Great entry here, a lot of polish and smooth visuals. Solid! |
| Apr 20 07:17:52 | 5m 03s | Dancing in the Depths | ♥ 2 | Really novel idea and engaging to play! Loved the audio and mood of this one :) |
| Apr 20 07:37:15 | 19m 23s | anomalous source | ♥ 1 | This was fantastic. Absolutely brilliant experience. I was aiming for something similar with my entry, but this has far surpassed it in mood and atmosphere and I am VERY jealous of your audio! it really ties it all together. Love the use of minimal assets and the feel of the facility you have made. Although I am solo and doing the compo so I will give myself a break! :D Fantastic stuff. Really well done. |
| Apr 20 08:00:46 | 23m 31s | Altitudes | ♥ 1 | oooh lovely mechanic playing with the idea of depth, fun shooter with a nice mood. Great stuff |
| Apr 23 17:21:21 | 81h 20m | VoidQuest | ♥ 1 | Lovely entry this! :) Great audio, ship feels a little drifty on the turn but a lot of charm here and enjoyed the hint at the start of each level :D |
| Apr 23 19:03:33 | 1h 42m | Souls Rider 1D | ♥ 0 | Nice game here, cool concept and love the visuals. Audio gets a bit much the more you play but really glad it has it! Nice work. |
| Apr 24 07:50:48 | 12h 47m | Green Tastes Funny | ♥ 2 | Really nice! It actually took me a few deaths to realise that the enemies are turn based and only move when you do! I was burning through it quickly so it just looked fluid. Only criticism realy is the choice of E to dig. On one hand the game gets fiddly! Wonderful entry though |
| Apr 24 07:54:53 | 4m 05s | When it Sinks | ♥ 1 | Really well done, meaningful and personal. Really impressed there are language options too. Great entry. |
| Apr 24 07:57:38 | 2m 45s | Scriptorium | ♥ 0 | Really wanted to push through this but couldn't get anywhere. Sorry, probably on me for missing something. |
| Apr 24 12:52:30 | 4h 54m | Descend | ♥ 1 | Gaaaah you know what? I very rarely give 5 stars accross the board, but this really won me over. Just a wonderful little experience with some great storytelling, exudes a ton of charm and just wow... really great. Just what I needed today too. Thank you Screenshot 2025-04-24 135215.png |
| Apr 24 16:19:07 | 3h 26m | Fixey 2 (VR Only) | ♥ 1 | Hey there! I really wanted to play this as I used to work in VR a few years back and am still passionate about it. I am on a RiftS and when I boot, I have no way to move out of the initial room. I can jump and the right hand controller is visible, but aside from that, I can't move! Any ideas? Will definitely give it another go if you have a workaround. Great entry anyways for trying VR! :) EDIT: I think it is my setup... left controller not recognised! Apologies! Will give it another go later :) |
