Apr 14 16:29:43 2m 10s Squirrel swirl ♥ 3 https://youtu.be/ZHOZCjZbziA Had fun on stream with this one :) Still can't get over sleek squirrel animations. Give me more Cyber Critter spin-offs! ~Xp
Apr 14 16:34:15 4m 32s High Pressure Arena ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/TqW8Jtak43A From the stream :) Absolutely not jelly of your widget 😏 I'm taking notes this time! 😤 Keep on cooking 😎 ~Xp

Apr 14 16:41:13 1m 36s Paladino ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/vT_DMM12dSw From the stream :) Incredible roguelite experience! Really well done. As if Dark Souls and Zelda had a child. ~Xp
Apr 14 16:44:44 3m 31s Slip Stream ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/L8oyXVgjcGk Cute and beautiful art, great design, but who knew Subathons are so damn difficult?! I did went to the game later on and actually managed to beat my highscore. Slip_Stream_(LD_57)_keP2zSFIij.png ~Xp
Apr 14 16:47:07 2m 23s A New Hell ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/ycM1Gyctd74 My suffering from the stream :) A very challenging game which I actually like a lot. ~Xp
Apr 14 16:50:33 3m 26s Echo-Of-Fallens ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/f1n-uo-is_w From the stream :) A game well done! Very good atmosphere! ~Xp
Apr 14 16:52:30 1m 57s Depth Rhythm ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/MdcWQoWlqGE From the stream :) Challenging and stylishly looking rhythm game in a unique game-design! ~Xp
Apr 14 16:56:18 3m 48s HexaDig ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/yar8_mIbkpY My digging from the stream :) Great job on the roguelike experience! Do consider maybe adding some darkness behind the character to make it more clear from UX perspective to the player where they can go, but otherwise a very solid entry and a perfect fit for jam's theme. ~Xp
Apr 14 16:58:23 2m 05s View in the Depth ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/aIYCMPWpwR0 From the stream :) I love space! A cozy space exploration experience with a Futurama easter egg :) ~Xp
Apr 14 17:01:08 2m 45s Little Delver ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/vW0HOCrNSaU My little delving from the stream :) Superb solo project. I have no idea how you pulled it off in such a short time! Keep making amazing games 😎 ~Xp
Apr 14 17:05:07 3m 59s Hadal ♥ 4 https://youtu.be/vQLk4UBjtKI From the stream :) A solid entry that's perfect for the jam's theme. Great art, nice use of blending FX and Brainoid's music slaps as always. I went back and played some more as the videos were uploading. msedge_GydMZkqkcC.png ~Xp
Apr 14 17:07:38 2m 31s bucketbot ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/U1KMRPKZC3Y My descent from the stream :) Minimalistic and challenging! Really well done :) FROGS ARE PURE EVIL 🐸 ~Xp
Apr 14 17:11:08 3m 30s Mr. Money's Phenomenally Soggy Water Removal Romp ♥ 4 https://youtu.be/QF50EkahrLU From the stream :) A perfectly chill time killer with a sweet balance. Who knew draining water would be such an addictive fun?! I WANT MORE! Don't stop at the lake. Let us drain the whole damn planet! ~Xp
Apr 15 16:41:54 23h 30m Captain Peggles: That Man's Chest ♥ 8 Anything pirate related - I am in. Brilliant game design and amazing art. I can see this idea going further and would like to try doing some mechanic inspired by this If I ever go back to my pirate project ✍️ The only thing I'd wish for is a filler for the drawing 'cause I have spent way too much time than I should have drawing this lol 😆 brave_JBQcGB8z70.png ~XperiencedMonster
Apr 16 01:56:00 9h 14m Upstream ♥ 0 https://youtu.be/9YkF3lvas8w Extremely well done game with the best AI I've seen here so far! Very easy at first, but gets quite challenging later in the game. I would love more in the style of this. Story-driven games are PEAK Emanates great Apocalypse Now vibes. I'm big on the classic literature, the last I read was "Candide" by Voltaire a few months back. And soon will be reading "Heart of Darkness". Thank you for that! ~Xp
Apr 16 02:00:12 4m 12s Helmet Man ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/RXi5e26Zm0s From the stream 🙂 Fairly challenging game with a nice game-design twist which I don't think I've seen done before. Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 02:06:20 6m 08s Serp-slurp (Spicy hot chocolate 3) ♥ 3 https://youtu.be/-VhX3o-tAAU I liked the creepiness of the atmosphere. Reminded me of some 3DO / PS1 era games. It evoke nostalgia as if about something I never actually played before which doesn't happen all that often to me. One thing I'd note is that UI is pretty confusing, but that's totally alright. Wish I had someone on the stream to play it with me. That'd be fun! Waiting on LD58 for Spicy Hot Chocolate 4. ~Xp
Apr 16 03:01:12 54m 52s Deep Fry ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/lvom2wTdAHQ You cooked yet again! Absolutely brilliant game, gorgeous graphics and font manipulations 😃 Some later recipes were difficult to follow. I feel like visual representation is king in cooking games, but then it would take away from the puzzle element here so it's fine as it is. Have no clue how you managed to do all of that in 72 hours! Can't wait to see more cool stuff from you 😎 ~Xp
Apr 16 13:47:50 10h 46m Submerged Pulse ♥ 3 I liked the unique approach to a rhythm game and it has voice overs too which is great! 🔥 Now I don't have epilepsy or anything, but constant flashes and switch of scenery behind were getting irritating (that was intentional right?). I don't think changing things was a particularly good decision as it becomes way too confusing where you have to go while at the beginning it looked like a fun game that tests your visual memory. ~Xp
Apr 16 13:59:21 11m 31s Mousehold ♥ 2 I gave all the cheese away, not sure what it supposed to give, but I had no apparent use for it anyway apart from it representing my score and I am assuming levels are infinite. The game is pretty cute and well done, art is pleasant and I encountered no bugs apart from slightly weird collision boxes that didn't always made it clear where you can pass and where you can't. Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 14:10:17 10m 56s Adam, Rejected ♥ 1 The doctor is sure all about giving Adam a severe depression and that's after dismembering the poor guy! I found the heart and left. I do hope Adam found some peace 🙂 Nice atmospheric experience! ~Xp
Apr 16 14:36:01 25m 44s D.M.C : Dwarves Mine Caves ♥ 2 Very satisfying tilemap, game and sound design. One thing I didn't appreciate is the difficulty curve as I'd find myself too often fighting with the character's movement and that got in a way of climbing out. And damn even in this game one can't escape taxes 😆 Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 14:39:34 3m 33s DEEP DEEP DIG DIG ♥ 2 Pretty difficult highscore chasing game with a humorous approach to the theme! JUST HOW DAMN DEEP ARE THOSE NOSTRILS? 👃 Great job! ~Xp
Apr 16 14:58:49 19m 15s Scares on Schedule ♥ 2 That's a really well done game and I love the aesthetics! I do think the difficulty should have been raised more carefully as having 3 puzzle per villager from the start is a bit too much, you want player to get into the rhythm first without putting too much pressure on them, and I think it would also make sense story wise as villagers that pass through first don't expect much to happen while those that come in later are challenging their nerves as to see how far they can make it. Some puzzles could use some work as they are way too unforgiving. I also never figured out how to do the "Boo" thing right which didn't allow me to progress anywhere on the score. I tried timing it multiple times and it just didn't work out. I think maybe adding some sort of hint the first time player tries to do that would be a nice thing. I'm glad that you're going to update the game and not just move on which is a sign that you're a good developer. This is how you get better and jams are all about that. ~Xp
Apr 16 15:09:11 10m 22s Deepdiving ♥ 1 Minimalistic game, but with very nuanced mechanics and pretty challenging! One thing that I couldn't appreciate is the bouncing from the wall. It didn't feel right whenever it happened and at first I thought it was a bug. I wish you retained the freedom of control while gliding. Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 15:23:57 14m 46s Dwarvenshaft ♥ 1 Very well done entry. I managed to clear out the entire shaft and all my 8 miners were left with nothing to pickaxe / drill on 😆 Love the soundtrack! ~Xp
Apr 16 15:31:38 7m 41s Binary Bomber ♥ 0 brave_FnITx22zhX.png Nice and polished platformer mechanics. Background parallax is pretty crazy and kinda blends with the middleground, but other than that the graphics are fire 🔥 Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 15:38:06 6m 28s Recursive Depths ♥ 1 Nice minimalistic game with an interesting mechanic. I liked the idea of going lower and lower as you zoom in on the cells and discover that there's a whole world underneath. It was nice later to ascend and appreciate the depth 😃 Great job! ~Xp
Apr 16 15:45:40 7m 34s Voidwood ♥ 2 Very intuitive game mechanics, beautiful abstract art style, nice music and great job on the sound design! This is how I did on the first try brave_vCJsUWnn08.png Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 16:12:00 26m 20s Blackout Protocol ♥ 1 This is the scariest jam game I've seen ever, not kidding. Horrors rarely get me, but you totally did everything right here. I wonder why generators are even there in the first place? But then does it even matter? Fear is in the unknown. Voice Over was extremely pleasant, soothing and for a game like this it's a reward for bringing generators back online! Sometimes monster camped the same spot. I realized he wouldn't move and started flashing light in his face & butt and then hiding in the narrow space, but well apparently the bastard had enough and somehow got me through textures (?). Whether it was intentional or not, I don't know, but what I do know is that it was scary AF and gave me Alien: Isolation vibe as if the monster is actually smarter than I give it credit for. In the first level there was also a moment where he sat on the generator. I managed to start it behind his back and leave though. Maybe it just likes to play with it's food 💀 LudumDare_57_ddkTKAtByC.png ~Xp
Apr 16 16:27:12 15m 12s Deck Digger ♥ 1 Great game-design that's easy to follow and has a fine balance. Quite addictive too! You add something new every level making it more entertaining as you drill deeper. Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 16:42:51 15m 39s Pressure of the Depths ♥ 1 Great and fairly easy to understand mechanics though it gets really challenging really fast and of few times I tried I could sadly not get lower 7K. Submarine is designed in a fine detail! Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 17:04:18 21m 27s Descent to sunrise ♥ 1 Sweet little puzzle / labyrinth metroidvania which reminded me of VVVVVV due to gravity shift mechanic and cute pixel art! Music gives a fine relaxing vibe. Here we're all just friends chillin on the grass 😃 brave_UHNtOy7um2.png ~Xp
Apr 16 17:23:19 19m 01s Mine Goblin ♥ 3 Played the patched version. Great PS1 vibe and finely selected music! At first I thought I was in for some 3rd person platforming, but was pleasantly surprised to be mistaken once I took the plunge. I hope the goblin is alright though. Just because every damn brave hero in the valley tries to whack you for some experience points and silly quest milestone doesn't means you have to take your own life! Get better Mr. Goblin! 😆 ~Xp
Apr 16 19:18:16 1h 54m Deep Truth ♥ 2 Hell of a trippy game. Sweet spot on the balance and good sound design! From the first picture I thought it would be visual novella on mushrooms instead I got an arcade on meth. And now I have become transcended, entering entirely new state of being, a substance-made god with the body of a swollen potato 😵 ~Xp
Apr 16 22:38:18 3h 20m Turtles All The Way Down ♥ 0 Pretty fun little game. However I found the controls (clicking behind the character) counter-intuitive and couldn't bring myself to enjoy the gameplay as much I wanted to. I feel like jump recharge should happen on collision with objects and not by standing on them as that would make this challenging game more fair on the player. But as the goal clearly was to induce rage you definitely did a fine job there 😃 Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 22:57:05 18m 47s The Fall ♥ 1 Found a chill zone on my first attempt. Just taking a nap on the warm metal bed. brave_9SiWUXkLgD.png Pretty easy game, mostly on memorization rather than skill I'd say as controls are responsive and there aren't that many obstacles that can end the run, but plenty of those that slow you down (and I broke each one at first just for lulz) Well done! brave_Gxk5cAcLoO.png ~Xp
Apr 16 23:19:14 22m 09s A Few Easy Questions ♥ 1 Went on irritating the guy and he didn't turn out to be such a nice dude after all so I think I probably did the right thing. He seemed to be looking for some PR cheerleading to further boost his ego and the world could do less with such people. I couldn't restart the game from the beginning as it saves progress in the browser and I didn't want to clear site data on the entire site for this. There should've been a retry button. Interactive fiction is always great and I wish I could do a few more tries to dig up more information. Great job! ~Xp
Apr 16 23:32:28 13m 14s Deeper into the Black Hole ♥ 5 Very stylish artwork. It reminded me of some classic space games in "Elite" series. Voice overs and music are great! Couldn't quite understand how to play at first, but then realized you have to keep recharging propulsion ability. Though I think FX gets in the way of UI when you lose. Space_Hole_J7XUcoA4FA.png Well done! ~Xp
Apr 16 23:37:00 4m 32s Loon lagoon ♥ 2 I moved the house around, clicked on some sea creatures, but I didn't figure how to get resources to build stuff. Other than that the game looks good and wave ambient is fitting. Well done!
Apr 17 00:15:46 38m 46s Fishing Therapy ♥ 2 That's how I understood it: First Patient (Woman): Was a cool partying girl doing all sort of crazy stuff (were those pink things at the start b-plugs? lol or just earrings?). Then she married (dress / rings), had a few miscarriages (babies), has debt issues (bank buildings throwing stuff right?) and then finally gave birth to a baby, but the baby was taking up too much energy from her and she was missing all the pleasure that she had in youth which led to her current state of mind. Second Patient (Man): Works as a cashier in a big supermarket, leading a life that feels redundant. He probably got hit one time by a horse in his youth or saw someone being kicked and since then has a phobia. Game doesn't give much more to go on here. I'm going to assume the woman he's into is someone on the side and he wants to be with her to spice up his life. Third Patient (Boy): Something is imperfect in the Fischer family, there could be a divorce happening and with each parent dealing with their troubles the boy feels alienated and abandoned. So if Doctor did anything right here: Woman & Man are going to realize that they have to make changes in their life and go out somewhere together as a family, work something out to reignite their marriage and give more attention to their little boy. Well done! Only wish it had some music in there! ~Xp
Apr 17 00:23:23 7m 37s Forest Depths ♥ 0 It's the ### eye of the tiger #### It's the thrill of the fight ### Rising up to the challenge of our rival #### And the last known survivor ### Stalks his prey in the night ## And he's watching us all with the eyeeeee of the tiger ~ Survivor
Apr 17 00:39:37 16m 14s LootBot Dungeon ♥ 1 Robot programming bit is a fine touch, but I' more impressed with the camera control it really sells the feel! Well done!
Apr 17 00:47:00 7m 23s Deep Point ♥ 1 brave_MWyc4G8ApO.png Instantly knew what to do with the rings as I played too much of Harry Potter (1-3) games back in the day lol. Why civilization has their planet's core exposed like that is anyone's guess, but can't complain as it made wiping them out easier ☠️ Good job! ~Xp
Apr 17 12:02:35 11h 15m For the last hug ♥ 0 Nice fellow-neon game. Later levels get fairly difficult. The idea itself with using Cursor Guiding & Classic Platform elements works great! Well done!
Apr 17 19:30:55 7h 28m GRAFFITI TOWER ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/SAQUJNDPqis Thank you for bringing your game to the stream and a little fan art you've made for me 😃 Easy to learn game that's not punishing and allows you just have some fun crashing through floors and leaving messages on the walls! Loved the vibe and music is pure fire 🔥 I didn't notice it was a Compo game too! Great job! ~Xp
Apr 17 20:06:29 35m 34s Grandpet ♥ 1 Got 3 endings (fish, lightbulbs and good one). Couldn't figure out how to get the code. The theory was that it's either the family picture or colors on the remote + cans in the basement, but neither helped. Well done!
Apr 17 22:38:18 2h 31m The Dig ♥ 1 Nice mining game with an intriguing story and somewhat creepy atmosphere. It's not clear where to dig though and I couldn't differentiate when I was doing something right or wrong. I tried multiple times, but each time I died at level 3, because Areem apparently destined to die at this point so I bought another miner at level 2 and then another later and we made it to level 5, but as I finished the level something went wrong, maybe because of the upgrades and as I smashed "continue" button game simply resumed the same level with refilled characters, but I tried clicking and they were moving but nothing happened so effectively I got stuck. Well done on the entry!
Apr 17 23:27:05 48m 47s Morally GrayStone Corp ♥ 4 Exceptionally good dialogue and lots of background lore which was fun to read! I would like to file one complaint though: Someone dropped a second banana on the same table and I couldn't pick it up for some reason. Must be my sweaty hands from all the stress dealing with Airis. R.I.P CFO ⚰️
Apr 18 12:41:39 13h 14m angler ♥ 2 Nice short game with easy to understand game mechanics. Though luring in fishes from afar is pretty difficult. Loved the art style and mouth-made SFX :) ### bloop bloop #### bloop-bloop-bloop ##### bloop bloop brave_c0L81b9Pzx.png
Apr 19 01:51:29 13h 09m Lyfe – Rhythm Meets Dungeon ♥ 0 Cool artstyle and cute Cat Knight brave_eXXG5jsf1F.png I would polish the balance a bit, because I couldn't do the timing right and resorted to spamming buttons as fast as I could which helped 😆 I was hoping there would be more levels, but seems like you have that planned for the future so that's awesome! Great job!
Apr 19 02:06:33 15m 04s Cubethulhu ♥ 1 Pretty interesting approach to the platformer. It feels somewhat janky at first, but I quickly got used to it. There was also a performance issue when you get closer to the finish as it starts to lag quite a bit, but that didn't stop me from beating the game. I reached everywhere I could for the coins and pretty satisfied with the end result. My platforming days are not behind me yet 😆 brave_khW8YdooJR.png
Apr 19 02:20:58 14m 25s Nested ♥ 0 Insanely original entry. I think I reached the biggest recursive matryoshka in the end as I was going up and couldn't actually leave. A Schrodinger ending if you will, you both leave and never leave at the same time? ..and also I'm now eternally stuck in the wall. brave_v68YewAN4V.png Great job!
Apr 19 17:45:32 15h 24m Are you smarter than a fisherman? ♥ 1 Are_you_smarter_than_a_fisherman_WUmTMr2mLw.png Entertaining game with enjoyable graphics and sound design. Even though I read the instructions carefully it was still hard to differentiate between Real & Fake fish. I think Fake ones should have stood out more, maybe move in a unnatural sorta phasing patters, like it moves, then it suddenly stops completely and then moves again unlike real fish that moves and stops smoothly like you'd expect. The bait sometimes spawned without a wire (maybe that's a bug idk), I felt it was actually better, because in real life it's usually so thin and almost transparent-like that fish wouldn't be able to tell. Great job! 🐟
Apr 19 22:34:34 4h 49m Descent of the Dairy Disciple ♥ 1 Pretty fun little game. I tried to reach the top score and I found sidejump to pretty useful to proper yourself as there isn't that many places where you can use sliding and velocity is killed too unnaturally when you land. Well done! RhPLJBY12t.png
Apr 19 22:43:13 8m 39s skibidi digging madness ♥ 1 absolute skibidi, very sigma
Apr 19 22:52:29 9m 16s Dyamid ♥ 1 Level design and art is peak, I wish it could be played in fullscreen or least with the site being behind dark background. I got stuck at this moment and because puzzles drain my mental resources way to quick I had to quit. brave_Zb4nylJyUr.png Great job! 5/5 💎
Apr 20 02:24:05 3h 31m Bedrock Rush ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/i73K9pSwPv4 I had an amazing time with this game. Thank you so much for bringing it to the stream! I have no complaints here and I am so in love with the sound of the rails 😍 Absolutely beautiful work! ~Xp
Apr 20 02:26:52 2m 47s Wrinkles ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/06EqZL2hg4k Thank you for bringing the game to the stream! Unique approach to both theme and game-design. I'm generally bad at puzzles so I was glad every time I managed to do something right and I am glad that game doesn't force you to do it perfectly. It was very fun just messing around with physics 😆 Great job! ~Xp
Apr 20 02:33:34 6m 42s Grimm Syndrome ♥ 3 https://youtu.be/HffJ4i53Rb0 I played your game on stream and had some fun with it! Beautiful graphics, nice music and some fine story. I do hope the girl leaves the guy though, because he's a douche. I feel like the game was originally about her realizing his nature and that he was using her, but in the end it suddenly shifted towards "oh he understands me so we're cool" and I think while it's good to end the game on the good note the ending didn't really sell itself to me. Great work on the game! ~Xp
Apr 20 02:35:42 2m 08s BTW: Beneath the Waves ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/8cpgm822v0w Thank you for bringing the game to the stream :) Gorgeous visual art style, very unique feel and good game-design. The only issue I have with the game is that ## There's Not Enough of It!!! Great work! 😆 ~Xp
Apr 20 02:40:32 4m 50s Pretty Fish ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/Yv4DQdLilwU I played your game on my stream :) Very nice game design, great art and it's fairly balanced. ALSO GIVE ME MORE FISH COSMETICS 🐟 brave_Ffxrp5ms82.png ~Xp
Apr 20 02:44:03 3m 31s The Deepest Descent ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/4GKDNVz6bqU Played your game on my stream! Amazing artwork! It was pretty fun and somehow I managed to play better in my first try than in the following ones 😆 Also dope cutscene 😎 ~Xp
Apr 20 02:48:50 4m 47s Dungeons Below ♥ 1 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2437522937 Played your game on my stream and here's a highlight from it 🙂 I really enjoyed reading your postmortem on the development and I agree with everything. You have the right mindset to keep growing and get better in the art of game making 💪 Great work! ~Xp
Apr 21 17:56:28 39h 07m Earth Below ♥ 1 Thank you for submitting your game to the stream! You didn't catch me in time to play so I played it off the stream. Very nice short game with some fine pixel art. I like that it's not overly punishing and once you start building as many platforms as you can it's easy to progress and beat the game. WTAlSWJHmj.png
Apr 21 19:18:00 1h 21m The Depths of Gitche Gumee ♥ 2 Thank you for submitting the game to the stream. You didn't caught me in time to play it so I've played it off the stream. Had fun chill time drilling around! I like that it wasn't overly punishing and is well balanced. Though at one point high pressure almost got me 😆 I found the graphics nice especially the fact that they reflected upgrades. There was a minor bug where tile showed animation as if it was still being drilled and flashlight cone could look smoother as it's very distracting so I generally avoided using it unless I really had hard time seeing anything (so basically at the lowest depth) brave_vuxPYnOvUb.png I also found the sword 😄 brave_qZqZZL9L1U.png Great work! ~Xp
Apr 22 03:32:24 8h 14m Depth Of Debts ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/tOkmb7fJyv8 *For some reason site doesn't allows to post link from that account so making a double comment. ~Xp
Apr 22 13:10:31 9h 38m Hello Darkness ♥ 2 I played on Windows build, because browser one just kept on freezing (Brave browser) Entertaining one-man crew game with easy to understand mechanics, pleasant & unique visuals and great atmosphere. It's fairly polished. I did found balance to be a bit rough though. Sometimes the same thing breaks twice in a row as you try to repair it, I think there should've been a cooldown timer. How you made cruising feel so naturally took my breath away(figuratively, at first). It feels great despite being minimalistic. And the low-pitched sound of the horn - perfect! The furthest I was able to get is 990m / Trench and died due to suffocation. Don't know how to go around that too as I don't think you can replenish oxygen and it breaks without any distinct sound (at least I didn't notice). Funny thing, painful suffocating SFX plays endlessly after you die and still tortures me as I write this comment 😆 Great work guys! ~Xp
Apr 22 16:39:35 3h 29m MESSIER 104 CBH ♥ 1 Very fun game with sweet graphics and sound design (the "bonk" when you hit asteroids 😆 ) also us being an astrofrogonaut 🐸 is an instant win I found mechanics easy to understand and difficulty is fair. Game does depends mostly on random and as gravitational pull got stronger I was sticking to the right half of the screen to avoid getting hit by asteroids if I try to cross to the other side, but eventually I ran out of luck on fuel. I wish it gave a bit more info to see what's coming, I think the best solution would be to add a small UI hint on the edge of the screen for when something is approaching as that would help massively to calculate your next decision and gave it a nice touch with strategic thinking as just waiting around for something useful to spawn does sometimes feel hopeless and takes the skill factor out of it as even if you saw something appear now on the other side you simply wouldn't have time to reach it and by the time you do - something useful could spawn on the side you just left. Great game! brave_oShPjFDyLa.png
Apr 22 17:07:42 28m 07s The Chase Beneath ♥ 1 Great short horror game with great atmosphere in a liminal setting. I quickly caught up on the monster being just a shy little guy so by the second level I was trying to get as close as I could to the poor fella 😆 Wish there was a third level with a more direct confrontation as the game did end rather abruptly. I'm going to assume we finally met the guy and became pals 😎 Loved the realistic garbage texture you used. I don't why it grabbed my attention as much as it did 😅 Great work! ~Xp
Apr 22 18:04:57 57m 15s Deep Blast ♥ 1 Nice little puzzle game with nice visuals and sound design. The further I could get was level 7 on both runs. At the second run there was also a bug I believe that it kept giving me the same upgrades so I kept stacking additional bounces ending up with 15 for each ball lol Great work! ~Xp
Apr 22 18:14:18 9m 21s Raid the Abyss ♥ 1 Nice game with interesting stylization and fine sound effects. I did found the combat system to be somewhat confusing and the AI's weren't doing much of anything so I mostly got use from them when my current character died. I made it to Wave 3, it got better once I started using shield a bit more. Good job!
Apr 22 18:33:15 18m 57s Tiny Tinker ♥ 1 If I'd have to describe core concept that would be "Leap of Faith" and while it's generally not a good thing, I does somewhat extends this short game forcing you to explore. At one point I was actually giving up, but took the plunge and managed to find all totems. Did want to make screenshot, but couldn't make it in time as it went dark, the last thing read "Get out of here". Fine pixel-art and tunes 🎵 Well done!
Apr 22 19:04:14 30m 59s Nomisoul ♥ 1 UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_Grb4zuVvd4.png Simple short 2.5D adventure that makes you reflect on life and things to come. Awesome work!
Apr 22 23:15:17 4h 11m Godless Furnishings ♥ 1 You absolutely cooked 🔥 Hopefully what I baked will make you happy, because I've fried my GPU making this nearly Sofa-only devilish work of art 😈 brave_CKOD2jBBrA.jpg brave_1FKI39W3pI.jpg ShareX_zVgDWASHHf-min.png ~Xp
Apr 23 12:27:01 13h 11m Abyss Prison ♥ 1 Extremely enjoyable point & click retro puzzle adventure! I have managed to beat the game. Though at one point I almost gave up on the safe with a weird math, but then I saw one of your comments here and it clicked for me and it all made sense. Should have applied myself better 😅 brave_gMj6rNtaLC.png Absolutely amazing work. Easily the best game of this genre on the jam! I hope you get more ratings, because you deserve it! ~Xp
Apr 25 19:57:48 55h 30m Nine Lives Deep ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/EM9XTMdR8pQ The walkthrough as I promised 😸 Apologies for not noticing the freeze on stream, it seems the game can only be recorded with Display capture as it loses focus in the Fullscreen. Tried to get a No Hint, but the hook mechanic is a bit inconsistent as Matteo doesn't always pulls the anchor back unfortunately and it seems to be tied to either movement or animation or both so eventually I had to give up on the idea, but why I even decided to do it in the first place is because Boss Fights are extremely well done and the game is well balanced. Beautiful & cute pixel art, great voice over and music! Game also has easily the most sweet, memorable and overall enjoyable story. Excellent work! P.S. If you find the time, I'd like you to pop in for "The Best of Ludum Dare" stream I'll be doing about the time when official ranking will be announced :) ~Xp
