| Apr 11 20:03:13 | Sound the Innersea | ♥ 1 | A good looking and nicely polished game, and a good take on the theme. However I found the gameplay rather strange. For one it seems impossible to lose. You need to die to upgrade; fights are kind of annoying but not so dangerous, as there seem to be plenty of sacks floating around. Also, controls are unusual and I wasn't always sure what I was doing. The light regularly went out but always came back on again. | |
| Apr 11 20:22:42 | 19m 29s | Deepdiving | ♥ 1 | Good looking, challenging, and polished looking game. I enjoyed navigating the obstacle course. It can be rather difficult and frustrating at times though. I did not quite seem in control of the dash direction, which was the most frustrating. But otherwise congrats on a good game! |
| Apr 11 20:36:55 | 14m 13s | Drifting Granny | ♥ 2 | Wow, that's a seriously strange and original game! Good graphics and sound too. I would like the anchor to move a little more quickly, and have more space below the anchor to see where you're going. |
| Apr 11 22:32:12 | 1h 55m | Doodley Descent | ♥ 1 | Simple and good fun. Interesting idea that dashing moves you down so you have more leeway before falling off the top of the screen. Player movement is a little slow, sometimes the platforms are difficult to avoid even with quick reactions. |
| Apr 12 07:57:08 | 9h 24m | Turtles All The Way Down | ♥ 0 | This game looks fun, but I found it way too difficult. I tried 20 times but never got past the third platform. I would really like to play an easier version to get more fun out of the game. The jumps are too small, and orienting with the mouse is difficult. Why jump in the opposite direction of the mouse? This is counterintuitive and also induces orientation issues when the turtle approaches the mouse as it moves up. |
| Apr 12 09:15:21 | 1h 18m | Focus! | ♥ 1 | Very original take on the theme! Also good-looking and polished. I would have liked clearer feedback when I click on something. |
| Apr 12 12:23:09 | 3h 07m | Pressure of the Depths | ♥ 1 | This is a nice concept and I had a lot of fun with it. Also a nice take on the theme. I would have liked an indication of which location needs to be visited first. I would have liked to see more minigames like the pipes, which I think has the best replay value. |
| Apr 12 15:25:22 | 3h 02m | Echoes of the Deep | ♥ 1 | Nice, atmospheric game, and a good take on the theme. The lighting and sonar look good and convincing. Ship movement was a little slow for my tastes. Also it would be more interesting to have more types of scary creatures. |
| Apr 13 10:16:08 | 18h 50m | Diva Descent | ♥ 1 | Congrats on a solid entry! Altogether fun, good looking, and polished game. There is little to gripe about, except that it's not very original :-) |
| Apr 13 10:26:51 | 10m 43s | Dive to Survive | ♥ 1 | Congrats on a good-looking and polished entry! The platform mechanics are unusual and interesting, though I think player movement is a little slow. At first I couldn't figure out how to use the hammer. I kept hitting the crate, but nothing happened because I was standing on top of it. |
| Apr 13 12:06:49 | 1h 39m | !GAME? (Bush) | ♥ 1 | Game looks promising, with good graphics, but I got stuck after many tries trying to scale the walls. Every now and then I succeed in jumping up while sticking to a wall, but it's too rare to get far in the game. If there is a trick to it, please explain. |
| Apr 13 12:39:00 | 32m 11s | SquidVenture | ♥ 1 | A good old robotron style shooter! I don't see this type of game a lot on LD, and this game is well executed, with varied and original gameplay. A pity it ended so soon. It would be great to have procedurally generated levels. Graphics are effective, though the sprites seem a little flat, as if missing depth in contrast to the background. |
| Apr 13 13:00:22 | 21m 22s | Luck Runs Out | ♥ 1 | Great interactive experience! I wanted to see it through to the end, even though movement was so slow. Clever how the text over the landmarks gets a new meaning as you go back. |
| Apr 13 15:33:34 | 2h 33m | Deep Sea Squid Hero | ♥ 1 | Congrats, that's a pretty original game concept, which I imagine is difficult to implement well within the time limit. The throwing mechanic is a bit finicky, maybe an "angry birds" style throwing would be easier. |
| Apr 13 15:39:12 | 5m 38s | Burger into the Depths | ♥ 1 | Nice simple game, good fun and well presented. Difficulty ramps up rather suddenly at the end. It would be nice to have more kinds of fish, even if just different sprites. |
| Apr 13 18:58:36 | 3h 19m | See the Light | ♥ 1 | Nice little game, cute pixel art. The music makes it into a sort of meditative experience. Sometimes the player swims up uncontrollably, it seems to be a bug. The background colour becoming lighter as you go up is a nice touch. It would be nice to have difficulty progression and/or different fish as you move upwards. |
| Apr 14 06:38:02 | 11h 39m | The Core | ♥ 3 | Congrats on a fun and polished tunnel racer! As with most such games, controls are reversed when you're upside down, which needs some getting used to. I would suggest using the cursor keys to indicate absolution position. The player will then take the shortest route towards the indicated position. For an example try this game: such as this one: https://c64online.com/c64-games/gyruss/#jumptothegame (C64 Gyruss) |
| Apr 14 07:06:41 | 28m 39s | Neuronic Netronics | ♥ 1 | I was drawn to this entry because I worked with neural nets in my last few entries. This is a very interesting concept that may help in teaching neural nets, and also well executed. I got stuck at level 5 though because I can't find a way to put a bias on a neuron. That is, you basically have to turn a 0 into an 1, but I can't do this with only multiplication. So, did I miss a way to add bias to a neuron? |
| Apr 25 16:52:56 | 273h 46m | Down Under | ♥ 2 | Congrats on a funny, original, and good looking game! It's a bit lacking in gameplay, in that sense it's appropriately short. |
