| Apr 8 01:53:41 | Infinite Depths at Hilberts Hotel | ♥ 2 | loved the art style. fits the theme pretty well. creative idea, i found the puzzles super tricky! | |
| Apr 8 02:12:27 | 18m 46s | Voidwood | ♥ 5 | Well polished simple game. Love the audio it fits the aesthetic. I did find it a bit easy, or maybe it just felt low stakes? Good take on the theme. The art style is fantastic as well, and I really like the root growing effect! |
| Apr 8 02:19:33 | 7m 06s | Slugy Down depths | ♥ 1 | Love the art style very cute. The gameplay felt a bit unoriginal to me but on theme with "depths" as you are constantly going down. Audio is good as well, crabs exploding is fun I love the physics of it. Would have been nice for the death-reset to have an animation or transition. Great entry! |
| Apr 8 02:25:58 | 6m 25s | DeepCrown | ♥ 3 | I love the programmer art style, lots of charm with it. Audio is simple but sucks you in. The gameplay reminds me of the game "Reigns", felt like it was a main inspiration. The dialog and the art style together are quite humorous. Felt a bit slow to start, I thought there may have been a bug and it got stuck so I refreshed the page, speeding up the time between dialogs might be a good idea. Overall fantastic entry! |
| Apr 8 02:32:56 | 6m 58s | Dwingles | ♥ 2 | Excellent polish around a simple game. Fun physics gameplay trying to get the Dwingle. Art and audio suit the goofy, almost surreal aesthetic. And I made the leaderboard! Fantastic polished and creative entry. |
| Apr 8 02:39:03 | 6m 07s | Big Pig & Dig Gig | ♥ 3 | Great entry. Love the humor and artwork, I felt like we could maybe ramp up the powerups a bit faster, it was slow to start. On theme and creative. |
| Apr 8 02:44:17 | 5m 14s | Piton | ♥ 2 | The game does not seem to be loading for me in the embedded page. Sometimes this happens in Unity builds when the web player settings has data caching checked on. This is not an issue on itch.io AFAIK, consider uploading there as a backup. Here is how you can disable Data Caching - pack it as a ZIP index.html is at the root-level aside the folders created by Unity - Disable “Data Caching” when creating the WebGL build in “Player Settings” -> “Player” -> “Publishing Settings” |
| Apr 8 02:48:47 | 4m 30s | Snow Ordinary Cave | ♥ 1 | Cute simple game, finished it really quickly without taking a hit! Good to see enemy variety and different pickups implemented. Nice use of lighting. I feel like the battery should drain faster than it currently does adding some more challenge and a reason to use the pickups. |
| Apr 8 02:54:53 | 6m 06s | Mine Goblin | ♥ 4 | Looks like you have not opted in to a few voting categories you may be eligible for. Huge file size may be a hinderance to people trying out your game. I like the low-res and dithering look to the game, really gets you in the mindset of a goblin. Working settings screen is always nice in a jam game. The camera controls feel really weird, almost like it is not rotating around the player point offset from the player. Once you jump down its quite a trip, goofy audio alongside this ragdoll goblin got me laughing, great entry, made it to ~400 depth |
| Apr 8 02:59:13 | 4m 20s | D.U.G.: Doug Under da Ground | ♥ 4 | Love the intro animation, hitting the buttons to select on the main menu took me a second to get but got a chuckle. But once I hit the play button nothing would happen, an area around my feet was revealed, I walked from one side to the other and it showed me where digging would occur but the game would not start and I could not continue |
| Apr 8 03:21:27 | 22m 14s | HIM(1).Locked | ♥ 3 | Just completed the game! Fantastic entry, quite involved and long for a jam game, a 10 person team always helps ;). Good story, art and audio. Very very immersive and creative. Some puzzles may have taken me longer than they should have. Love this one so much! Maybe having the list of files you just unlocked be more persistent? Like sticky notes, I kept asking myself "what files did I just get access to" when I was stuck for a bit. |

| Apr 8 03:44:13 | 15m 47s | Depths of Hell | ♥ 2 | Fun classic tower-climb type of game. Appreciate the voice over and the sound effects, combine with the artwork it made the game very funny to play. The music was also a vibe. Lots of variation of power-ups and obstacles as you climb. I found the game quite easy, never ended up using the dash. Great entry! |
| Apr 8 03:53:09 | 8m 56s | Into The Abyss | ♥ 3 | Great artwork and audio (music and SFX) they really suit the vibe of the game. Love digging into the depths its pretty fun! Simple and short game love to see it. Some feedback, digging at the cursor felt weird, if my mouse was off a ways away I would not dig but the animation would play. Making the gameplay mouse-less would feel better imo. Great entry and good work! |
| Apr 8 03:58:56 | 5m 47s | Esca - Ludum Dare 57 | ♥ 1 | The adorable art is what drew me in at first. Very cute simple game, great work! You really get thrown right into gameplay with no warning, caught me off guard at first. No gameplay bugs to be seen (only the high score one). I managed see I got 102 points before the game ended. Great job, hope you make more in the future :) |
| Apr 8 04:09:48 | 10m 52s | Doctrines - LD57 Game | ♥ 2 | The web version did not load for me so I downloaded the windows build. The art is fantastic, I like the dithered looks to it and the whole theme. The music and SFX really fit the look and feel of the game. The card selection felt a bit off, like it I could not always grab what I want.The reverse healthbar with the increasing madness is cool. I wish you could see the health and madness numbers though, hard to tell exactly how much you have. I can see you pursuing this into a full game later if you want. Excellent work by the team! |
| Apr 8 16:23:26 | 12h 13m | "Jammy" Bolt Digs a Hole | ♥ 1 | Cute programmer style art. Gameplay is pretty simple, dig, try not to run out of fuel and get all the things. Wish there was a bit of audio, at least background music. I could not beat it, you almost have to path to the fuel instead of the gems. Cool that this was made in Rust! Would not be my first choice for a game jam haha, love to see less popular technologies getting explored. Great work! |
| Apr 8 16:26:45 | 3m 19s | Trip to Australia | ♥ 2 | The game does not seem to be loading for me in the embedded page.

Here is how you can disable Data Caching - pack it as a ZIP index.html is at the root-level aside the folders created by Unity - Disable “Data Caching” when creating the WebGL build in “Player Settings” -> “Player” -> “Publishing Settings” It works on two levels, Depths as "Down Under" as well as being underground! I love that. Cute simple art. Great entry! |
| Apr 8 18:10:11 | 1h 43m | Lifted | ♥ 1 | A settings screen is always appreciated even if it does not belong fully in a web build. The music is nice and calming, maybe a bit melancholic. Cute simple tile based art. Story is nice, wish we could go into other environments it felt like it was needed. I feel like the textbox text should appear a bit quicker or have an option to insta-complete the animation. Talking to people multiple times repeats text instead of a shortened version, some are long so that bugged me a bit. Also textboxes do not disappear if you move far away from the NPCs, would have been a nice touch. Overall a cute entry, great work! |
| Apr 8 20:14:04 | 2h 03m | Forest Depths | ♥ 0 | Cute simple game, artwork is charming and the "company logo" made me laugh. Love the eye of the tiger cover, would have been nice to have different types of prey/predators. Overall good entry! |
| Apr 8 20:44:06 | 30m 02s | CONFESSION | ♥ 1 | Art and animation is great, suits the mood of the game. Can tell a lot of care went into making this. The sound effects are good as well. A lack of background music feels like a good choice, instead opting for ambient noises. Fun short but cohesive experience and great entry! |
| Apr 8 20:51:07 | 7m 01s | Take Your Meds | ♥ 1 | Cool puzzle game! Using depth as layers is a creative interpretation. The music is smooth and almost puts you in a trance as you play. I also like the cute but simple art, all it needs to be, the art conveys what all the objects do. Some feedback, sometimes I was confused as you can see the next layer in the background, it sort of muddled my thinking when working through the puzzles. You can also place items while its running, not sure if that is intentional. Overall great entry :) |
| Apr 8 20:54:49 | 3m 42s | Nine to Five Nightmare | ♥ 2 | I like the main menu art, almost feels too real haha. The poster in the back is a good tutorial, very simple and gets the information across. I really like the cartoony aesthetic of the gameplay, very cutesy. Good short game, great job! |
| Apr 8 20:58:44 | 3m 55s | Cave Escape | ♥ 3 | Great pixel art. Combined with the postFX (bloom, maybe chromatic aberration? Unless that is baked into the art) it makes for an awesome aesthetic. Chiptunes sound great as well, sound effects are punchy. Excellently polished tower climb game, great jam entry! |
| Apr 8 21:14:02 | 15m 18s | The Dive | ♥ 1 | Short game, pretty simple, fall and shoot to get to the bottom. The switchup to platforming at the boss was a nice suprise. A respawn would have been nice since it takes so long to get to the bottom. The fall to the bottom was easy but the boss I had trouble with since I did not understand what to do at first. The music is short and loops quick but I did not mind, kind of gets stuck in your head. Overall a solid entry great work! |
| Apr 8 21:33:34 | 19m 32s | Sub-Silence | ♥ 2 | Opening screen sets the tense mood really well with the music combined with the sonar sound. I do like the idea but I did find it quite difficult to play, maybe some ui tweaks could help. I found you really have to play slowly which adds to the tense feeling. Great entry! |
