| Apr 13 20:43:31 | Deep Dwarf Fantasy | ♥ 1 | Cool sound effects and screen shake when going fast! Fits the theme, but I wish I didn't have to press E that many times. :) Fun graphics. Although it confused me a bit at first, I enjoyed bouncing around on the bugs. The game mechanics work well. Well done! | |
| Apr 15 16:50:43 | 44h 07m | SIRTET | ♥ 1 | Fun twist on Tetris! I was a bit confused at the start which blocks would disappear; I think I would have liked to see the shape in the end location for a tiny moment before the earth blocks disappear. To make it more clear that the block continues until it's fully covered. Once I got that, I got to 39 meters. 😄 I would have liked it if up arrow would also mean turning the piece, since I am used to that 😉 Fun retro looks and sounds. Well done! 👏 ---- Update: I played once more and got to 41! 😄 Also, I just realised the name of the game is Tetris spelled backwards, hahaha 😆 Sirtet.png |
| Apr 15 19:39:57 | 2h 49m | Into the cave | ♥ 1 | Nice little game! I would have liked some sound effect or visual effect to show that the player (or a bat for that matter) has been hit. The hearts disappeared too quietly in the corner ;) I assumed that each level had a checkpoint, and so I was shocked to be sent back completely to the start when I was gameover in what later turned out to be the penultimate level. The second time I managed to win the game :) Well done! Into the cave.png |
| Apr 15 20:06:07 | 26m 10s | Asteronaut | ♥ 3 | Wow, that was so much fun! I really love the watercolor graphics, and the music fits very well! It's a joy to just watch the black hole pinball machine in action, even without trying to interact. :) Very well done! <3 On one attempt, while charging, I managed to hit a cheese and a lot of its cheese babies, and got in instant high score that I never beat with normal play: Asteronaut.png |
| Apr 15 20:36:19 | 30m 12s | DeepCrown | ♥ 2 | Interesting take on the theme! I like how each level has its own background and music, changing the vibe. I like how the eyes went red at a certain level. But the music is a bit too monotonous, and doesn't always loop very well. From the intro and the drawing of the king I expected some limbs to grow, but that never happened? I found the first level/floor to take a bit too long. For me, it was not clear what the consequences of my choices were. I reached the end, but not sure how good or bad it is. 😉 I would play again, if the footsteps wouldn't take so long each time.

| Apr 16 18:32:54 | 21h 56m | Deep Blue | ♥ 1 | Interesting! Great in the mood category 😄 Well done! |
| Apr 18 14:30:50 | 43h 57m | The Trench | ♥ 1 | Interesting, a sort of educational game about how deep the trench is. I like how the sonar is showing the surrounding edges piece by piece. Little jump scare in the end haha. Well done :) |
| Apr 18 22:38:15 | 8h 07m | Rooted Deep | ♥ 1 | Interesting deep sea cookie clicker! I like the mood. Also, I enjoyed the sounds out-of-breath sounds, signalling that the player is almost out of oxygen and should get back to the safe station. The instructions were clear. Sometimes, trying to harvest the fruits made the collecting noise but I didn't actually collect them. I guess that meant the fruits weren't ripe yet. I wished I could see which ones were ripe. On my first run, I managed to get to the end. I didn't notice I had spent already 15 minutes! RootedDeep1.png On my second try, to see if I could speedrun it a bit more, I was transported far away suddenly, but that did mean I saw the other ending as well. 🙂 I didn't use swimming up and down that much on my first runs, so in my last run, I just planted everything really close to the safe station and collected by swimming above the plants. I didn't buy any upgrades, and got to the end much quicker this time 😄 RootedDeep2.png Overall, well done! |
| Apr 18 22:48:06 | 9m 51s | Splat | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! With nice audio. I wish I could see a little bit further down. I liked the different quotes/statements when restarting. Splat.png |
| Apr 18 23:11:21 | 23m 15s | Gas Giant Airship | ♥ 1 | I like the concept a lot! I like all the wind layers. I first made 10 deliveries in normal mode. Then I tried Hot Air Balloon mode, which I also enjoyed! Then it's a little bit more of a puzzle to get to the correct side of the destination so that you can ride the wind into it. I wish I could move up and down (/change layers) a bit faster. And in Hot Air Balloon mode, I'd prefer up and down arrows over the mouse. I liked the graphics, with all the different stations that we visited. I did miss some background, to give even more sense of moving. I liked the audio as well! Well done 😄 |
| Apr 18 23:32:00 | 20m 39s | Depths of the Heart | ♥ 3 | Wow, so much voice acting content! Lovely voices. Creative way to string the words together in this way, although it was not really challenging to swim in the right lane. It was a pity that often the text I collected didn't fit in the dialogue box. The funniest game I played so far this LD! 😄 Well done! |
| Apr 19 00:06:29 | 34m 29s | Heads Up | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept, but I found the controls too hard. I sometimes found it hard to see which I was going, especially if there was no blue wall in sight. In that case it would be nice to see the background scrolling behind the player, indicating the player is going the other way. I managed to finish the game! 😄 Even though it was not clear to me where/when the end of the level would be, so it always came as a surprise. 😉 I like the ocean colors and the background music, although I think I would pick a different instrument for the melody, or at least I would make it a little less loud compared to the rest. Overall, nice entry! |
| Apr 23 19:25:24 | 115h 18m | Fishing the Depths | ♥ 0 | Haha, I love the sound effects! Nice little game, especially for only 6 hours! 😮 I managed to reel in at least one fish per color. :) I wish I didn't have to use the mouse to retry (when I'm not buying upgrades), but maybe that's personal. Well done! |
| Apr 23 20:24:52 | 59m 28s | Treasurefall | ♥ 1 | Interesting mechanics! Not sure why I am killing the bunnies. ;) After a while it felt a bit tedious to use quite a few mouse actions to just walk a few tiles. I enjoyed that I could buy new dice Buying new dice! 🎲 At some point it seemed I lost a die while dragging, and I couldn't proceed in the room. :( |
| Apr 23 22:51:09 | 2h 26m | Fred's Fishing Frenzy | ♥ 1 | First of all, I love the animation of the throwing the fishing line! Also the waves on top are very cute. I liked the bubbles in the background, which gave some refrence for where we are moving. As for a Post-LD version, I can totally imagine each fish having it's own sounds/music to which you tap the keys. I also had some crashes unfortunately, I am glad you made the update to save the player's progress. At first I thought I had to also avoid all the non-fish things floating around. Often I wished I could move the hook up and down as well, to catch some of the more rare fish. I played for far too long, trying to catch all the different kind of fish. I was wondering if there was an end to the game? Well done! |
| Apr 23 23:04:41 | 13m 32s | Swoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooord!! | ♥ 1 | Original idea! It's like a speedy 'tower of pisa' game. I really like how the game looks with the different sharp items 😆 But some of the items stacked a bit funnily, espcially the one consisting of two separate parts 😉 I was somewhat confused of what to do. Had to read some of the comments first. Then I managed once to get to the end. 😄 ⚔️ |
| Apr 24 16:07:24 | 17h 02m | Focus! | ♥ 1 | Awesome take on the theme! I managed to hit the target. Nice graphics, cool audio. I really like how you made the focus of the binoculars by blurring different layers a different amount. Well done! 👏 |
| Apr 24 16:25:32 | 18m 08s | Diggin' Deeper | ♥ 2 | Cute game! I played a few times, because I was curious would I would find in the ground. I liked how it gradually got darker. However, I found it quite tedious starting all the way from the start again every time. I managed to get to level 22. I think it would be nice to visually highlight the block that is currently hittable. Also, some feedback on the play button would be nice, like the cursor changing, the text changing color and maybe even removing the button once clicked. Cute graphics and nice sounds. Well done! |
| Apr 24 18:08:41 | 1h 43m | Steve the Smith | ♥ 1 | Cute and original game! There is even a shop included! 👏 The moving/jumping mechanics could use some improvements. Often I got stuck in a jump mid-air, stuck to a wall. But I could also use it for some sneaky wall-jumps 😉 After the shop,I was surprised that my portal spell charge was suddenly negative, even if I had 4 left after the first run. I didn't get why I had to send the ore and myself separately up to the surface. At some point I collected 150 coins, but I didn't know if I could use them for something, or wheter there was an end to the game. But anyhow, overall, well done! 😄 |
| Apr 24 22:09:48 | 4h 01m | Downfall | ♥ 0 | Such a long way down, but I found the end! I liked that there were different ways to go, and that often you couldn't go back, but there was always a way forward. Sometimes I wish the camera was a bit lower, to see more of where I was going. I like the animation of the swirling arms and how I could smash the blocks to pieces. The platforming mechanics worked well. Perhaps you could map more keys to jump/left/right, so that the player can choose to use WASD or arrow keys, and up or space for jump. Overall, I enjoyed playing your game. Well done! 😄 |
| Apr 24 22:52:45 | 42m 57s | Fresh Catch! | ♥ 1 | Wow, great game, with so much content! I like the getting in and out of the water scene, and the swimming around is really fun! And it looks beautiful under water, and the different types of fish are also wonderful. Well done! 😍 Also, somehow I find it really funny to ring the bell before I jump in the word again, haha. 😆 The shop is awesome, with all the fun items to discover there. I bought all of it, and as a last thing also the trophy! 😄 Very polished! 👏 |
| Apr 25 10:04:39 | 11h 11m | Pogo Dwarf | ♥ 1 | Interesting mechanics! But very hard haha 😆 I found all the stairs very frustrating. In general, I found it very hard to predict where I was going. I like the idea of someone in the comments here to use the mouse to aim in stead. I got to the big jump, and got too frustrated to continue after 3 failed attempts. 😛 I wish there was another checkpoint there, then I would have retried the big jump more often. I see in the speedruns the jump looks way easier there. My jumps really didn't go that far haha. (Playing in Chrome, not too fast computer). Also, Apparently I only saw a fraction of the game! Overall, good game! Cool mechanics, nice graphics. Congrats on a fantastic first compo game! |
| Apr 25 10:27:48 | 23m 09s | Marble Race To Hell | ♥ 1 | Fun mechanics to play with! Some obstacles were a bit small and dark. It was fun to try to jump to a level below, butalso a bit unpredictable how I would land. After quite a few tries, I got to the finish with a combination of rolling and falling down in 1:06,02 Well done! :) |
| Apr 25 10:44:10 | 16m 22s | Handbag Havoc | ♥ 2 | Haha, what a fun take on the theme! I loved all the different bags, hands and items. The graphics are really nice. Fun background music, albeit a bit repetitive. Sometimes the control of the hand felt a bit less responsive. I made it to the end, but I have thrown out many objects, haha. Handbag Havoc.png |
| Apr 25 11:28:20 | 44m 10s | HexaDig | ♥ 1 | Fun game! It took me a while to figure out what the mission was, I was just digging away. :) I would have like some hover over information on the icons. I finished the first mission. I wish there was a safe point after that, so I can try mission 2 without doing mission 1 again. Nice graphics! |
| Apr 25 11:42:53 | 14m 33s | Mousehold | ♥ 1 | Cute game 😄 Hehe, the mouse is walking upright, nice animation! It was exciting to walk over the mouse trap, to see what it does, and noticing I was just fast enough :D But not always? 🤔 Sometimes the z-values were a bit mixed up. With the boxes I expected a different hitbox, so that I could walk behind them. I was a bit confused if there was an end to the game. I looped through the levels a few times, and also fed quite some cheese to the other mouse. Overall, well done! :D |
| Apr 25 11:51:11 | 8m 18s | skibidi digging madness | ♥ 1 | Haha lol Skibidi-dub-dub-dub-yes-yes! |
| May 28 12:56:31 | 793h 05m | Down Golf | ♥ 0 | Cute game! I got stuck at Trampoline Level 3 because the ball was infinitely bouncing on one of those jumping pads 😄 |
