DEVILivery by Blue Pin Studio 2023-05-09T06:10:52Z ♥ 3

The gameplay is fun, art music and sfx all fit the mood. Sometimes it's hard to see the enemies until they already hit you, but the health system is lenient enough.

Good stuff!

Neo City Express by Pedro Medeiros 2023-05-08T16:22:53Z ♥ 1

Incredible stuff, by the last level I was moving my hands over the keyboard like madman. The car voice being honks had me in stitches. Awesome stuff!

Ambrosia by Demure 2023-05-07T17:44:31Z ♥ 1

Incredible.

Neural Rot by Angela He 2023-05-05T15:58:22Z ♥ 1

Incredible mood, art, sfx and music. Unfortunately I struggle too hard with the controls. In that regard it's tuned a bit too rough for me. Maybe a partial auto-aim would help with this, the movement alone is already challenging, aiming with it is even harder.

I love the idea behind this though, hopefully I'll make it past the two monsters at the start eventually D:

Really cool submission!

Pizza Here On Earth by Little Doctor Games 2023-05-05T14:28:02Z ♥ 1

Dude I killed someone's babies... worth for the dope Akira slide.

Whole thing feels retro af, the music is outstanding, mood and gameplay feel great. You got a really good jam experience on your hands.

The only thing I'd critique is that the fireballs the player is shooting are too small and very mixel. It throws off the pixelart feel a bit. So does the Akira slide but it's not as noticable in the slide.

Regardless, I love this game!

Dante's Delivery Service by Scott Steffes 2023-05-05T10:26:18Z ♥ 4

Top 1 in Tokyo.. can I use this for my application to Kuroyagi?

Really nice game! Art style is amazing.

Yuki's mystery by Sevla 2023-05-04T16:50:02Z ♥ 3

Very creepy atmosphere, I like it! :)

Crystallium by MikoziQ 2023-05-04T16:47:34Z ♥ 1

Great submission!

I quite like the minimalistic feel to it, the art fits so well. I think you can get into a groove and play this for a long time. It's fun just swirling around collecting souls.

Return To Sender by hacktic 2023-05-04T16:37:05Z ♥ 1

Great game! Perfectly scoped, well executed. I wish it had a simple audiotrack but not a biggie.

I like how the pressure scaled, I also liked that the tutorials kept sticking around cluttering up your workspace. I thought I wouldn't like that at first but it worked out well.

Well done!

The Mailman by Castitatis 2023-05-04T16:25:12Z ♥ 1

Great game! I got overwhelmed quickly at first but figured out how to avoid taking so much damage. I'm a badass mailman!

Art, sfx and music were really nice!

My one tiny wish would be that the menu/tutorial would be skippable by keyboard, but no biggie.

Bumbol by MiniBetrayal 2023-05-04T16:04:46Z ♥ 1

It took me a bit to realise how the movement works. I kept using the keybord and wondering why my bee was flying around drunk :)

Once I understood, it was quite enjoyable and relaxing, even later when more things went on.

Good job getting it out there in time!

Arcana Express by Joe Cowman 2023-05-04T15:54:38Z ♥ 1

Neat little game! The casting system was interesting. I liked thta you could decide not to waste materials and wate for others to blow through rocks and then overtake them with a sprint.

Good job, congrats on submitting!

Dressed Delivery by kiririn51 2023-05-03T18:22:30Z ♥ 3

Artstyle, music, writing and mood were all top. The combat was intersting, bit of into the breach here. I ended up beating it but probably more so through luck than actually strategizing well. I might not have understood the attacking correctly, but it could be nice to see what effects your attack will have on their counterattack.

Very cool!

Plane of Destiny by kill0u 2023-05-01T14:22:36Z ♥ 1

I like the way you did the folding of the plane. The controls felt interesting too, although I didn't understand at first what exactly the input schema was.

The music was dope!

Brass Monkeys by johnnysix 2023-05-01T14:16:32Z ♥ 1

Cute game! I like the grpahics a lot, they remind me a bit of Donkey Kong Country when I was a kid :)

Those damn salty dogs tho!!

Time for Lunch by zep 2023-05-01T13:35:31Z ♥ 1

Fun game! The controls feel tight and there are many ways of approaching obstacles. Art style and sfx are very cute!

Love to see pico8 submissions.

Juggle Mail by kuviman 2023-05-01T11:34:30Z ♥ 2

chrome_RTO3Fnop7D.png

Really nice game kuvi! The game loop feels good, the visualizations are nice and the sfx and music are fitting. I quite like the rendering style with the bent road.

Giggle Groove by badcop 2023-05-01T04:04:43Z ♥ 3

chrome_TnLIBqTukO.png

Well, turns out im not actuallly very funny :(

Very cool and innovative submission. I like how you incorporated actual jokes instead of gibbersih and included pauses for the punchline.

LD51 — Every 10 seconds (13)

server.vasm by IcyLava 2022-10-13T16:45:19Z ♥ 1

fb.png that took me quite long, I'm sad to admit lmao

I had fun with this! Love the startup sound and the ticks.

Good job.

Assault on Hartblood Hotel by kiririn51 2022-10-06T10:00:35Z ♥ 2

The writing and atmosphere is top notch. Feels like I'm in some cyberpunk kowloon walled city like complex. The game is also surprisingly long for a jam game.

I struggle to feel the theme, it didn't really impact playstyle too much and some of the UI was a bit too quick. Other than that really dope entry!

Baja Blasters: The Toll Bells for Thee by theslate 2022-10-06T03:38:48Z ♥ 1

Screen Shot 2022-10-06 at 12.35.35.png Did a pacifist run. Similarly to my game, you also don't give points for inaction.

One suggestion: Decrease the hurtbox of the player so that it's a bit more lenient on the player and increase the hurtbox of enemies so they get shot easier.

Solid entry!

Le Petit Jardin by auxC 2022-10-04T14:27:14Z ♥ 3

Such a cute game, the atmosphere is through the roof. Found the Peeper :) what the heck haha.

Void Well by Helzinko 2022-10-04T12:07:53Z ♥ 1

voidwell.PNG

Super fun and polished experience!

Two things I noticed that I think are worth considering: * How does it play if you can't destroy your own platforms? I kept shooting mine by accident when I was close to it and aiming up and slightly tilted. I think it would be better to not punish players for that. * I saw the dotted line and was thinking it could be nice to have an online scoreboard and a dotted line for current highscore holder.

Good stuff! I quite like your style.

Meteor Racing by Andreadbx 2022-10-04T09:34:41Z ♥ 2

race.PNG That was quite enjoyable. The game looks nice and driving is fun.

I think there should be a higher penalty for crashing so that driving with breaking is the correct strategy.

The meteors fall too slow, they aren't really an obstacle.

Overall had fun!

Temple of Harmony by yulotomorrow 2022-10-04T08:37:36Z ♥ 2

The visual art style is really nice and I like the humor. Introducing the game by a dialogue between the two characters is a good introduction without feeling like one.

I'm a Pico too tho, I really struggled with the game mechanic.

Thwack by Jon Topielski 2022-10-04T07:40:02Z ♥ 1

What fun game. The walk animation, the sticky feet, the stretchy legs. Everything feels so funny and nicely polished.

Day and Night by LadyMistLeaf 2022-10-04T02:25:44Z ♥ 1

Always appreciate a self-rolled codebase from scratch. Good stuff, game is a bit short but I quite like the narrative :)

bäbäböx X by Kultisti 2022-10-04T02:00:30Z ♥ 3

bababox.PNG

It took me a while to understand what's going on, but once I did it became quite enjoyable albeit stressful to manage all the constraints.

I think for the tutorial it would be good to show that enemies aren't grid based. I thought I had to avoid blocks where enemies walk at all costs, only by chance did I find out that you can be on the same platform as them as long as you aren't close to them.

Polish and feel is on point as always. Great stuff.

To Catch a Wizard by badcop 2022-10-03T18:51:22Z ♥ 6

rage.png

Getting Farted On by kuviman 2022-10-03T09:52:58Z ♥ 2

Great submission. You incorporate the theme perfectly. Constraining the mobility of the player means players need to incorporate the 10s involuntary fart into the game, together with having to be in correct rotation makes for a really fun (fartrasting) fodian game!

Great job kuviman as always!

Rockatoo by AdamCYounis 2022-10-03T00:17:42Z ♥ 1

You've managed to incorporate a "punishing" take on the theme without making me feel like the punishments are just something that had to be coded in. In fact, it feels quite natural to make mistakes like that when trying to perform in front of a crowd.

Incredibly polished and fun. I can't believe you made 3 songs too.

One criticism I have is that it's hard to see the new moves at the top while having to concentrate on the bottom.

Great submission!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable (37)

Embers by andrewkennedy 2022-04-17T16:36:15Z ♥ 1

I really like hex games, but I think movement by clicking would be more intuitive. It's not really your fault, it's just the nature of hex grids.

I really like the way the world builds up as I move around. The cells flipping has a nice feel to it and I like that the character is a traditional boardgame piece.

I think you have a solid base to build off of!

The Demon Trainer by drentsoft 2022-04-11T17:11:42Z ♥ 1

The control scheme was very innovative and good. I liked linking that kind of input to working out.

I think it's a really solid game!

Will There Bee Another? by Gabriel Dias Oliveira de Almeida 2022-04-11T12:55:41Z ♥ 1

After just one (hundred...) retries I managed to get a second date! The art is really nice. I like the writing too and the game feels well coded. I just wish it had some audio to go with the interactions.

Cool ending!

Chess? by dreamscale 2022-04-11T12:47:40Z ♥ 1

That was a really cool game idea. I was a bit surprised that my pieces killed themselves, but I guess it makes sense!

At times it was a bit hard to understand whose unit's turn it was.

Overall, really cool game!

Ludum Distractio by PhilStrahl 2022-04-11T12:42:03Z ♥ 0

Hey there!

That was really cool, I wish fixing bugs was that easy in real life :) The art style, audio and mood all fit together super well. I love the humor in the code and the little spider.

All in all, a very cool submission. Good job!

Death's Gambit by osh.studio 2022-04-11T12:35:31Z ♥ 1

The game looks really cool, I like the isometric art style and the cards were nicely designed. The audio is great, especially the spells!

I think the game is a bit too RNG, but given the nature of gamejams quite understandably.

Quackenfarm by InitialPosition 2022-04-11T12:28:00Z ♥ 1

Thank you for streaming and reviewing my game even though I wasn't there to see it live!

I like your game concept, it's fun running around, planting and growing things and strategizing how to plant so that harvesting is efficient.

I thinks some of the UX/UI could be improved, for example showing an area of effect on the action I have selected around the mouse. I also had an issue of wasting turns because of that, but for a compo that's totally understandable!

The art style is cute and the audio is fitting. I was hoping for a few quacks :)

Great job and thank you again!

Sacrificium (Sacrifice) by Xeke-Death 2022-04-11T12:12:10Z ♥ 0

The game looks really impressive and has a great mood to it. I also like the various puzzles you put in, especially it's nice that areas of interests that are locked away are still visible. I think that adds to the "I want to get in there" feel.

I think the audio also adds greatly to the mood, those step soudns are surprisingly creepy and then the music changes too.

One thing I'd change is the controls, I think it would be more intuitive if WASD was from the view point of the character - at least I moved wrongly a couple of times and I think it's because of that.

Very cool game!

[Don't] Prune the Money Tree by Orionhart 2022-04-11T12:00:41Z ♥ 2

I need one of these please.

The artstyle and audio is good, albeit the tree itself being a bit creepy - I guess that's fine given that it grows us money ;).

Congrats on a cool game!

Weed it & Reap by JavaSaurus 2022-04-10T08:49:40Z ♥ 0

Very cool game! I really like the artstyle and music. It's also very impressive that there's a multiplayer and highscore system!

I managed to place 4th on the leaderboard :)

Congrats on making this!

1 Man 6 Bullets by Raphaeltan 2022-04-10T08:42:30Z ♥ 2

Very cool visuals and narrative art style. I kept killing myself haha.

Cool submission!

Rocket Lawnchair by jitspoe 2022-04-09T18:02:42Z ♥ 1

The QWOP of pool chair flying. The idea is hilarious, I just really really struggle with it

I can see this being fun once you get to stay in air more than 3 seconds.

Cool game!

Out of Breath by raptor851 2022-04-09T17:53:37Z ♥ 1

Very unique and cool art style, almost looks like you drew it on paper and scanned it in.

I struggled a bit with the puzzles, sometimes because I pressed X too many times and picked up something without reading the text in time. It was also a bit disorientating, I think you could keep the separate floors a bit more visually distinct.

Nonetheless, I think it's neat little game!

Graveyard Path by JOrbits 2022-04-09T17:37:03Z ♥ 0

The gameplay was fun, the levels were well made and I like the time reversal idea. That opens it up to a lot more puzzles.

If there's one thing I'd criticize is that it's hard to tell exactly what each stage does without trying it out and going through a couple of resets. I think maybe indicating what ability each stage gives you could help with this.

Solid entry, good jbo!

Timeless by shmador 2022-04-07T18:41:18Z ♥ 1

This is an easy 5/5 across the board for me.

* Artstyle is cute, I especially like the squishing on the boxes as they land and the flames. Minimal without feeling like just developer art. * Music and SFX fit perfectly. * Choosing a color to represent the time stop in red is really smart, it opens up so many new possibilities for puzzles and is very intuitive. * I like the mechanic of pushing a box while time being stopped and it being pushed after unpausing. I like that it exists all along in the game without telling you about it. Made for a good head scratcher and a big ohhh moment! * There's a really good amount of levels for a solo developer in such a short time!

Congrats, I wish I had made this :)

Jailbound Joyride by AmberFall92 2022-04-07T18:10:46Z ♥ 2

I don't know why but platforming with cars works surprisingly well.

The art style is very nice and clear, the gameplay feels addictive. I got to 200 before the police swarmed me and I drove over spikes :)

The Music and SFX is neat.

F the police!

Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-07T17:51:27Z ♥ 2

Very funny game, well put together, tons of fun. Especially when playing when someone is streaming it. Top!

Ball Boy's Cool Party by BrothersT 2022-04-07T17:21:40Z ♥ 1

Very entertaining entry. I kept laughing all the way through.

One of my favorites!

Don't burn my Nugget by Gabriel Bissonnette 2022-04-07T16:11:13Z ♥ 3

Neat little game. The sense of speed feels good.

I had some troubles after discovering A/D, the character would spawn and faceplant and instant die :)

Cool submission! Good job.

Playing Dave! by Bdiaztobarra 2022-04-07T16:05:39Z ♥ 3

The jump feels a bit floaty hue hue hue...

I really liked this game, short and sweet. I especially like the way you interluded the story with the gameplay in Dave's game.

The animation is also top notch.

If there's one thing I had to criticize it's that the font is not really matching the pixelstyle, minor!

Good job!

Protect the Candle by rex64 2022-04-07T15:55:18Z ♥ 1

The gameplay loop is surprisingly fun and kept me engaged. I think you did a great job with this little game!

Slip or Trip by erikengineengineer 2022-04-07T15:52:07Z ♥ 1

The gameplay loop is very solid, I had a lot of fun playing it. Very solid entry with good art, music and humor!

Witch's End by Roikku 2022-04-07T15:47:34Z ♥ 1

I really like the art style and the setting of the game. The ability pickup screen in particular is really nicely drawn. Flying around on the broom is cool but I wish it was a tiny bit faster.

Cool submission!

Uranium by Simpathey 2022-04-07T15:33:08Z ♥ 1

I really like the clean representation of the game. The movement felt good, even fun once you hook it all up. I'm impressed how quickly you put this together.

Flameline by HolyBlackCat 2022-04-07T15:29:34Z ♥ 0

That was a great game!

Stuff I liked: * The main mechanic of time rewinding is super impressive and especially so coupled with the double j ump. Jon Blow style :) * The art style is neat and consistent. As someone who made a game about fire, I really like this haha :) * The world is neatly put together with lots of exploring.

Stuff I struggled with: * It took a good amount of time to really get the hang of the double jump * The platforming is a bit brutal at times, jumping into spikes repeatedly. No biggie.

Technical feedback: * The camera being centered on the player gets a bit disorienting in full screen. I think implementing camera drag margins with a smoothing camera would give you a nicer result.

Congrats on a really cool entry!

Un-Rooted by Denhette 2022-04-07T14:58:19Z ♥ 3

Holy shit what a game.

I already had a good laugh on the title screen with the character just lying on the floor but I did not expect those kind of game physics.

Hilarious.

I really liked the dialogue bubbles of the coworkers.

Great submission!

Wicked Wilds by peringo 2022-04-07T14:48:58Z ♥ 2

The gameplay loop feels really solid. The feedback sounds on interactions are really tight and you created a really neat mood, especially at night.

I like the NPCs with their no-text intuitive requirements/dialogue.

I did struggle with understand the crafting system for a long time, but you're aware of that.

Very impressive what you put together in such a short time!

Sorting Algorithm by lectvs 2022-04-07T05:21:50Z ♥ 1

Very very impressive submission.

The writing is entertaining and put me right into the mood. I initially thought the sorting is too hard because the timer ticks down too fast, we're human not computers.. and then it clicked :)

I absolutely love this, on par with some of the best games I've seen this jam.

I love how you used the sorting game for confirmations.

The audio was very well made too, I think it's hard to get a glitch sound that's not annoying to hear but you did it.

Return to the Glade in the Sky by AdroitConceptions 2022-04-06T17:49:29Z ♥ 0

I quite like the setting and mood you managed to create. The character movement and platforming is really solid.

I actually preferred the puzzles in your first version better but the new version is a lot nicer to look at and play.

Overall solid, albeit not theme fitting.

The Railroad to Elsewhere by Save Sloth Studios 2022-04-06T17:37:18Z ♥ 1

I really enjoyed this. The art style, animations and the timings feel impeccable. The writing is neat and I played through it a couple of times to exhaust all the dialogues.

The music was very good.

One thing I did not understand is the last two doors. Would love to know more about them.

Delightful submission!

The Lars Mission by Honest Dan 2022-04-06T14:27:46Z ♥ 3

Impressive submission! I love how frantic everything feels. I also absolutely love the coding jokes.

Congrats on a really cool entry!

Planet Saver by PashaLoban 2022-04-06T14:04:40Z ♥ 1

I'm shocked to see that comment by @kirkami, that's pretty rude.

First of all, good job on submitting a game! I like your interpretation of the theme, the character was interesting. I like earth healing itself basically.

I think your mechanic is good, it reminds me a little bit bout a mini-game in the original WoW where you had to bandage up injured shoulders to get your bandage mastery.

One thing I noticed is that it's easy to cheese the game by just going full rotation and spamming the heal button. It doesn't always heal everything but it heals a lot. I think you could work with some velocity checks to ensure that's not possible.

Congrats again on making a game!

Eggspiration Date by Nash 2022-04-06T13:45:48Z ♥ 1

Neat little game! The platforming felt surprisingly good, I think it's hard to pull that off in 3D specifically. I really liked the bird model, had a laugh when I turned it around and it stare at me :)

One thing I struggled with was catching those thieves. Pesky little buggers.

Cold and Alone by David York 2022-04-06T13:04:12Z ♥ 1

What can I say that other's haven't yet? This game is simply amazing. It really puts me into a scifi mood, I'd love to read a book on this or even play a full fledged game.

Artstyle is amazing, I love the oldschool vibe, love the old system font - feels very 286 times.

The movement in a hex grid is a bit iffy by keyboard, I must've wasted a good amount of turns just because of how it's difficult to map in your head. I would suggest using a mouse input instead.

Congrats on shipping something incredible!

Untitled Zombie Shooter by Ismael Rodriguez by Ismael Rodriguez 2022-04-06T12:29:08Z ♥ 1

I had fun playing this, it's rare to see first person shooters in LD! Good job.

I sometimes got killed from behind so it made me shoot and do a 360 to check my surrounding every time after that run. I think some zombie sounds approaching you could've helped with that.

Congrats on making a fun game!

Wormageddon by MatterLinx 2022-04-06T07:47:01Z ♥ 4

Very impressive submission. I quite like the game being restricted to a single room that rotates around. That way the focus is just on the interaction while still providing a visually impressive environment.

I think the control scheme is a bit difficult to use and instead of a timer for the fight it would be nice if you could go forward and actually smack the worm.

The music slaps, especially the first track.

Board to DEATH by nsadie 2022-04-05T13:56:03Z ♥ 2

The graphics gave me Elden Ring vibes :) I like the puzzles you came up with, it's an interesting mechanic.

I was thinking a little bit about the visualization you have of telegraphic each pieces attacks. I think it works against you here because it lets you skip thinking about the puzzle. While you still have to remember how to put the pattern together I think it encourages our lazy brains too much to just go through the levels by trial and error. I was wondering why games like Into The Breach don't suffer from this and I think it's because you have to balance other constraints.

The opponent having pieces on their own is really nice, I think you can take this concept very far.

Another thing I noticed was that pawns should not be able to move the way they do in your game, but I can see why they do.

Really really cool entry! Congrats on shipping.

LD49 — Unstable (23)

Karawan by Rongo Matane 2021-10-13T16:07:07Z ♥ 1

Hey,

the game has a great mood to it. It's nice to see a retake on Oregon trail :). The artstyle is beautfiul and the music you chose fits really well. I haven't been able to finish the game yet but I'm having a lot of fun.

I think I agree with making it clear what the game is trying to be, as mentioned above by another player. I think the game would benefit from a pause mode like FTL so that you can clearly decide your moves. I also think each wagon should auto-harvest when adjacent to a harvestable node.

Either way, very impressive entry!

Hikari’s Journey 光の旅 — the umbral world by Junber 2021-10-11T13:50:49Z ♥ 2

Wow, what an impressive piece of work.

Unstable Investments by Japayne 2021-10-11T12:11:20Z ♥ 2

I liked the game concept, I think you have something there. The graphics, the chart was also really good.

However, I think the UX of transferring founds back and forth needs improvement. It's a bit cumbersome.

Overall solid entry!

PolitiGod by Nakami 2021-10-11T12:06:09Z ♥ 1

It's impressive what you put together in such a short time. I found it a bit difficult to keep a track of all the stuff I did. I think especially it's not immediately clear how adjusting a bar will affect the game state.

I think a few less dials with maybe a clear preview or indication of what will change could help.

None the less, congrats on submitting!

Babel by Gaming Night 2021-10-11T11:57:34Z ♥ 1

That was great fun! At first I kept placing everything carefully but I realised my platform is tilting too much quickly so I started spamming until everything exploded and I was getting giant sofas lol.

Had a good laugh, the gameplay is really solid and addictive! Good job.

The Adventurers by Ascension 2021-10-11T11:25:05Z ♥ 0

Interesting concept! The art style music and animations really come together well. I don't quite know why it was fun but it was.

Balancing your different resources is interesting, but I think could be visually explained a bit more.

Solid entry! Congrats.

right stuff aerospace by chromableedstudios 2021-10-10T16:52:37Z ♥ 1

Congrats on finishing and submitting! I think the game is solid.

I really like the pixelated background flying over but was hoping for a bit of variation. The scrap is really difficult to see against the background and because it's so small, hard to aim for.

Stable Mind. by tomer_cool 2021-10-10T16:46:03Z ♥ 1

This was surprisingly fun and interesting to play (surprising because of the 6h spent). I think the controls are interesting, but it's hard to control well depending on RNG. I think the feather is too big compared to the amount of stuff happening on screen.

Overall I think the mechanic you came up with is interesting! Good job.

10 minutes to instability by José Bonilla 2021-10-10T15:04:48Z ♥ 1

I had a lot of fun with this game. I was constantly on the edge, trying to balance all these things and then the damn connection breaks up!

I was able to disarm the bomb with less than a minute left. Felt intense!

I think this is a really solid entry, good job!

One thing I got into was I had the bomb still open but walked away from it and couldn't dismiss it. It took a bit of time to get back to it and close it.

Last Breath by Pious 2021-10-10T14:50:36Z ♥ 3

I was really impressed by the artwork on this title. The sprites and title screen are not just beautiful, they also tie in really well with the 3d perspective and together with that set the mood. The music is really fitting too and I was imagining how we go tot this fight.

The gameplay felt a bit slow, I think that made it a bit difficult to really feel fun. As others have said, it feels like a bit of a slower less important fight in the game.

Overall I can see what you were going for and what you guys put out is really cool! Congrats.

It took me a bit to get the hang of it but eventually managed. I can see what you were going for but I think it's too much of a handicap for players. It hampers fun.

I think the Q spamming is fine, but an indicator, like a bar feeling up, could've helped with that.

Nice to see an irrklang submission!

Unstabled Goat by Marc-Antoine Girard 2021-10-09T14:41:34Z ♥ 2

I really love what you did here. The whole setting is ridiculous and it's accompanied by a very fitting music. Great art and mood.

The only thing I'd like to suggest is to make the map obstacles less tight. It's a bit hard to push the cart around in time sometimes because of being blocked by the obstacles.

Great entry.

Perilous Potions by Deprecat 2021-10-09T14:35:44Z ♥ 1

I appreciate the tutorial. The potions kept blowing up in my face :)

Lovely art and music, the mood is quite good too.

Congrats on a fun little game!

Falling Tower by Simpathey 2021-10-09T08:21:59Z ♥ 1

Simpathey, what is it and your obsession about falling towers?

The game was really fun, I like how unwieldly it gets when things pick up in speed and you frantically try to keep everything together.

I loved the end transition of zooming out to see the crazy tower of our creation.

Had a lot of fun, congrats!

Forecards by Kubulambula 2021-10-09T08:14:48Z ♥ 2

Hello, the art style and music was phenomenal which ties into the mood. I love the little details on the cards, animating them as you hover the cards.

The gameplay was difficult to understand at first, but once you get it, it's very straight forward.

I think there's only two things that need improvement: 1) the RNG of the weather spawning is quite brutal at times. I understand you'd have to balance your card usage to the town that's least happy but because the weather moves so fast and often has two types spawning close together it becomes impossible to warn the town. 2) A better visual feedback on a weather hitting the town.

Overall I was really impressed with this entry. Congrats!

Giggly Goo by MsCarrotCake 2021-10-09T07:51:36Z ♥ 2

Hello,

First off, I really like the art style and the little introduction story. It's very endearing and fun. The way you tie this into a tetris-like game is also neat with the hunter hiding in the bushes in the background. I can see this being a commercial game back in the 90s :).

I found the concept pretty good, the idea of dragging the player's attention away from the slimes falling is good. I think you could expand the slime patting behavior further if you want to continue working on it.

Congrats on making a nice fun game!

A Spelling Error by Naymsayk 2021-10-09T06:53:41Z ♥ 1

Hi,

I have to admit the game was a bit confusing at times. I really liked the narrative and the voice acting and I think once you get past the confusion the game is interesting.

Congrats on submitting!

Trauma by AdamCYounis 2021-10-05T16:33:15Z ♥ 0

You hit the nail on the head in the theme and graphics department.

The idea of using traumatic experiences to go through the levels is a really nice thematic idea. I find them gained a little too easy. I think a mini game around processing memories would make a good addition, make it a challenge to work off those traumatic experiences and then use them.

Mine Shift by tiptoe 2021-10-05T15:55:45Z ♥ 4

The game feels very polished for such a short amount of time. It's also a lot of fun to play, I didn't expect to get sucked in as much as I did. I think it's probably related to the danger of tunnels breaking in. So you have these constant mini games of digging and building.

Congrats on a great submission.

Emotion Vessels by Terri_GamingLunya 2021-10-05T14:49:19Z ♥ 0

Fits the theme perfectly. It was fun having to balance the constrains. And after all the effort and balancing we try to do, life just throws curveballs anyway right?

The mood was great, the art is beautiful. The only thing I think wasn't necessary is the long intro with the text. But it's not too bad either.

Really cool game you two made!

Teeter Blocks by TimBeaudet 2021-10-05T13:39:26Z ♥ 1

Beep beep bonk bonk.

Vice - Ludum Dare49 by Truedat 2021-10-05T12:08:18Z ♥ 1

Very cool setting and mood. The sounds are particularly nice, makes it feel good just walking around. Even tho the characters are so minimalistic, I like the variety you created with them.

I found it hard to know where or who my character is at first. An outline might have helped.

Congrats on your first submission!

The OffScreen by Hunk 2021-10-05T11:58:58Z ♥ 3

You managed to capture the 30s style really well, not just in graphics of the room and the game running on the TV but also in terms of sound, ridiculous setting and humor.

I like the mechanic of having to hit the TV from outside of the "game". That's pretty clever and funny.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper (31)

Abyssal Lab by frankiesmileshow 2021-04-29T05:43:52Z ♥ 1

This game is incredible, easily 5 stars on everything. The art is really neat, you managed to convey so much detail with very few pixels. The sounds put you into the right mood immediately too. The gameplay has a lot of depth to it. Placing sonar towers just to find a horde of mobs running towards you is scary, panic building turrets and hearing them defend the base is great.

I can't believe you made this within 48h.

Downward Frog by jonbro 2021-04-29T05:18:18Z ♥ 1

Really really good game. The art is so cute, the music and sound effects are really relaxing and nice. The gameplay is simple but challenging. Loved this submission.

Piercing Asteroids by Harker 2021-04-29T04:29:50Z ♥ 2

Neat little game. The movement feels good, I like the double use mechanic of mining and attacking. The interface is a bit confusing, I think usually you do / but it's reversed here. was a bit confused at first. I like that the ship itself has a bar indicating your hull (I think it's hull).

The music is nice but a single hit sound would've made a big difference. But given the time constraints no problem.

Deepspace by Willops 2021-04-28T06:23:09Z ♥ 1

Incredible fun, the inventory system is clever and the combat feels good and well balanced. It reminds me a lot of FTL.

Juicy Trip by Anandhi 2021-04-28T02:11:41Z ♥ 1

Surprisingly fun, I think this would be great on mobile.

Umbra by Zettabit 2021-04-28T02:07:12Z ♥ 0

Really cool game. Add some combat and maybe some walls that you can't jump to and you got yourself a really neat game.

Cave In by FireFart 2021-04-27T15:04:37Z ♥ 1

The gameplay is very light as you said. I like the way the game starts up with the character running in. The character animation is really cool, especially the digging animation is well done.

Throneless by AdamCYounis 2021-04-27T09:28:09Z ♥ 0

The art is amazing, as expected. I watched your stream and despite being thrown together fairly quickly I actually enjoy the opening theme a lot. The UI/UX is a bit confusing. The gameplay has a lot of potential, I'm looking forward to where you're going to take this game.

Deeper & Deeper Research Ltd. by itsonrandom 2021-04-27T09:20:01Z ♥ 1

the jump is very float, I suggest looking at Matt Thorson's Strawberry project for how to get relative simple good 2d platformer physics. I really like the art, the character has an neat waiting animation. I ran into a bug where the stonewall doesn't lift visually if you do it twice but luckily the audio works so I was able to just go through.

overall good job!

To The Core We Go! by Rost 2021-04-27T09:09:09Z ♥ 3

the game is neat. I like the setting, the combat feels good and the movement is interesting. I also like the forgiving nature of recovering hearts. good job on that. the tutorial was a bit too fast, but no biggie.

Rocket digger by Kaito 2021-04-27T07:45:42Z ♥ 1

I had fun blowing up the desert :). I was confused at the upgrade system a bit, I think the icons could use some text - my game suffers from the same issue. I think an explosion sound would've gone a long way making it more fun.

Good job!

Back Down by juako 2021-04-27T07:09:37Z ♥ 2

Really nice little game. I love the character animations. The concept is also pretty neat. I like that the ending was at the start all along!

Good work!

Solar Subs by Simpathey 2021-04-27T04:31:11Z ♥ 1

hi, I like the atmosphere and mood. The music is great and the game looks nice. I had trouble with the screen size.

A Sinking Feeling by rpgfaker 2021-04-27T04:23:45Z ♥ 2

That was really cool. The game is really well polished. The ship layout reminded me of FTL.

Stabalot by bw_devel 2021-04-27T03:58:21Z ♥ 0

Hi, this is really cool. Especially for pico-8! Love the music and the gameplay is very unique. I found it a bit hard but that just requires extra practice on my side. The theme is a bit of a miss for me but after reading your comments here I can understand it.

Thanks for reviewing my game!

One More Lap! by Harrison Dunn 2021-04-27T02:54:55Z ♥ 1

hi, Very fun to control. Reminds me a bit of GTA 1. As others said, doesn't fit the theme super well but I still liked it a lot. Had fun!

Edward Driller Hands by SyndaKai 2021-04-27T02:53:20Z ♥ 1

Hi, game looks great. I really like the idea. The moment when you see things come crashing down but you spot an opening is really powerful.

Good stuff!

LD48 - Math Hole by VinnieNovido 2021-04-26T14:33:43Z ♥ 0

hi, the idea is not bad but it's a bit too random trying to get to your target.

Jackhammer Joe by Wall Jump Games 2021-04-26T14:28:24Z ♥ 0

hi, I had trouble getting over the first tall jump. I think the jump is a bit floaty. For 2d platformers I always recommend looking at Matt Thorson's Strawberry project.

I like the concept, the drilling down has a Downwell feel to it.

Onion Dreams by falstro 2021-04-26T14:21:31Z ♥ 1

Hi, very innovative idea. The game also plays neat and dreamlike (you know those dreams where you run but you feel slow no matter what). Good job!

Vacuum Kingdom by Prof.Suarez 2021-04-26T13:57:48Z ♥ 2

Hi, took a bit of time finding out how to start the game. I like the concept, the character feels a bit too small compared to the world. I like the trees fading as you move under them but it's a bit confusing at first. I thought it's a blocked off area.

I like the mouse control for aiming.

Ocean Cleanup by Weirdybeardyman 2021-04-26T13:53:46Z ♥ 1

Hi, music and audio in general was nice. I also like the world and the submarine itself. Controls are hard but that's probably just my brain having a hard time :)

the sunken place by RomeRomey 2021-04-26T13:46:33Z ♥ 1

Hi, the character reminds me a lot of Downwell. I like the premise and I especially like the audio picking up the closer you get to the end. That plus knowing that the fall is deep gave the right amount of pressure.

I initially though the jump is too floaty but upon getting higher and having to jump on platforms directly below the platform I'm on made the jump feel kind good.

I recommend adding being able to jump off a platform for a few frames after already stepping off it (it's called coyote time), especially since you have very small platforms towards the end. I recommend looking up Matt Thorson's Strawberry project. He has Celeste-like physics in it.

Overall I enjoyed this a lot!

Pagemage by OrbitalBlueprint 2021-04-26T13:27:25Z ♥ 1

hi, this game is amazing. I really like playing inside a book. Special items being spelt out is very clever. The setting is amazing.

The game is a bit hard, I think probably because to turn you need to move in a direction so I often just run into enemies when I try to attack them. I think if you had a mouse for aiming it would make controls smooth.

Great game!

Mystical Island by azakharov 2021-04-26T11:48:31Z ♥ 1

Hi, the mood and atmosphere of the game is really good. The map is neat and filled with a lot of events. I think it's a bit too hard at the beginning, I guess you have to get better RNG - something which my game also suffers from.

I think it would've been nice to have a player figure on the map even if it can teleport around. I was a bit confused at first.

Overall neat!

Mine Zhero by Colisan 2021-04-26T11:42:06Z ♥ 2

Hi, you did so many things right with this game. It's really easy to understand the objective. You created several pressure factors, ghost, explosives and the time you have to keep track of in your mind. The online leaderboard makes it even more addictive. The only improvement wish I have is the controls. On PC I think a moues would've added cool quick gameplay. Otherwise I think it's probably much better with a controller.

It's a really cool game.

trabitboy_ld_48 by trabitboy 2021-04-26T11:14:08Z ♥ 3

Hi, I think you nailed the fun aspect of the game. It's surprisingly fun blowing rocks up and shooting the enemies. I also really like the graphics, they are unusual and great.

The jump is a bit floaty, but I'm sure you know that. If you're looking for a better feel in that regard I recommend Matt Thorson's (maker of Celeste) Strawberry project. You can see how he usually implements 2d platformer physics that feel just right.

You probably ran out of time, but a shooting and hit sound would've added a lot.

Overall really cool. I like it.

Digtet by Sentmoraap 2021-04-26T11:05:58Z ♥ 1

Hello, I always like innovations on old games. It's surprisingly mindbending what you get from reversing the game. since the pieces stick to the top of the screen, I think there needs to be a bit more leeway (distance) from the start of a piece falling and placing it. It feels hard to place blocks to the sides immediately.

Overall really nice though.

grem by zzox 2021-04-26T10:49:46Z ♥ 2

I like the art style, atmosphere and the movement feels good. I think it ramps up a bit too quickly in difficulty. The level with the stone could use some more lights to let you get used to the throwing mechanic.

Overall I really like the idea and execution.

Compulsive Diggers by Rolly 2021-04-26T10:44:50Z ♥ 2

Neat concept, I was confused at first why I kept hearing death sounds until I saw you can zoom :).

Mind Depths LD 48 by LittleGamer 2021-04-26T10:37:41Z ♥ 2

Hi, I like the atmosphere you created but I'm a bit confused about what to do. I ended up on a body floating in space but can't find a knife. Controls are a bit wonky but I really like the mood you were setting. The music and visuals work well together.
