| Apr 9 18:27:50 | Focus! | ♥ 1 | I love this! Mechanics with focus is really fun, clear and easy to grasp. The point-a-click part was done clever, and although I usually have problems with discovering what to click in such games, but didn't have it in this one. I wish there were more levels, I'd definitely play this if this was a full game. Thanks for the experience! | |
| Apr 9 18:42:04 | 14m 14s | Echo Dive | ♥ 1 | Great job with this one! The game looks athmospheric, it gives some retro vibes, like from the old arcade machines. The depths are nicely implemented, it feels like I am somewhere in the depths. I love the fact that missile explodes and can hit myself - this brings some depth into how the player controls the submarine. One thing I think could've done better is the core gameplay loop. It doesn't feel like upgrades matter much, and this is because core gameplay loop doesn't bring much challenge and at the same time the challenge doesn't increase. What I would've changed here is the control of the submarine: maybe it's more inert, or is not directly controlled by WASD or there are more enemies and obstacles the player must evade. |
| Apr 9 18:52:09 | 10m 05s | Where Stars Forget Your Name | ♥ 2 | Love the music, really brings some meditative vibe! If this is your first compo, it's great result. You managed to get core gameplay loop, create art, add nice visual effects (love particles around black holes!), animation for the ship, recoil mechanic and the whole upgrade system , that's a lot! LD is a lot about focus and prioritization (you might've seen I am not great at it myself haha) but what I would've done different is focusing on polishing the main gameplay loop such as ship control, obstacles + enemies, etc. and secondary on upgrades (only if time left). Upgrades without decent core gameplay don't make much sense, even if it is neatly done. Congratulations with a decent result anyway, waiting to see your games for the next LDs! |
| Apr 9 19:04:43 | 12m 34s | Echo-Of-Fallens | ♥ 1 | Love the post-processing, ambient and horror aesthetic overall. I also liked that the character is moving between the rooms with only one keypress this helps to focus on what's happening on the screen, instead of being annoyed by the fact that you need to walk. I think puzzle/adventure game would suite this aesthetic as well. E.g. instead of fighting your parents, the player might've needed to find specific item to release them (maybe a bone of father, tears of mother, etc.) which is behind a small easy solvable puzzle. |
| Apr 9 19:21:58 | 17m 15s | Apprehension | ♥ 3 | Great entry! I really enjoyed walking the maze and it was indeed scary. The ambient was fantastic, very creepy, the monster was scary. There was only one thing that seemed a bit annoying: sometimes monster spawns in front of you and then right behind you. It's hard to notice (although the sound changes), but then you get killed from behind and have to start over. Thanks for keeping the key after death though, it felt much better waking up with it. Apart from that I spent really nice time, thanks for the experience! |
| Apr 9 20:11:05 | 49m 07s | deCompression | ♥ 1 | Loved the puzzles, always enjoy kind of "escape room" games! What I like specifically about this entry is vibe and how art and narrative play together (both weird in a good way and bright). There was a small bug with the bathyscaphe control panel, but apart from that I had fantastic experience :) |
| Apr 9 21:12:53 | 1h 01m | DeepFrame 9 | ♥ 1 | This game is really juicy! Love the effects, the sfx. Awesome that it is immediately understandable how to play it without any tutorial needed. It was a bit not convenient to play with a mouse, but I'll definitely try on mobile. |
| Apr 10 19:36:03 | 22h 23m | Cave Escape | ♥ 2 | The game is really well polished, looks extraordinary stylish and music is dope! The whole thing is very addictive, great job! |
| Apr 10 20:30:14 | 54m 11s | Hole Punch | ♥ 1 | Love that it is so simple, yet so fun still. Reminds me a bit of old yetisports flash games which I spent a bit too much time in tbh :) |
| Apr 10 20:54:09 | 23m 55s | Debts in the Depths | ♥ 1 | Wow, you getting all 5 stars out of me, I just don't know what to add here. This is definitely my favorite one in the jam so far, definitely saving to play more later! |
