LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Treasure Diver by kleinzach 2021-05-09T10:12:31Z

Very fun game. Really liked it. The controls are so so sluggish at the start it's so frustrating but as you level up and get more equipment it's great. Good job!

The music is on point, really broody and low key. Very atmosphere and suitable for the game you've made. The SFX were nicely done too! Good job!

Reel Deep by frenchie 2021-05-01T22:34:20Z

Oh wow, yes! Great SFX. The music was brilliant! goood job, light hearted and just fun. The SFX for dying/getting stuck etc was brilliant and switching to the new track, awesomework dude!. Can see this easily as a wi game type music.

The game mechanics were solid, i love how the movement of your hook felt going down and the system for gaining money and upgrading was on point.

I thought the art was great, very gameboy esque and blocky. I'd like a bit more variety as you descended though maybe?

Overall a very solid entry!

Nuclear blaze by deepnight 2021-04-27T16:38:07Z

This is very impressive, very professional. Loved the weight your character has. The graphics are stellar especially fire and water. Love this, the animation is great but would love to have a way to sprint with the character. This is great! can't wait for the full version! So tight.

Journey To The Center Of The World by paulhocker 2021-05-09T10:00:42Z

I think the music was not really congruent with the game and looped way too much and the SFX were a bit too loud in comparison.

Cute graphics and nice smooth powerups. I wasn't clear which objects did what and maybe a nice upgrade mechanic could have been good to add but over all good job!

One-Butt Alien Corridor by PeachTreeOath 2021-05-09T10:15:23Z

Cool concept, very very stressful though! i wish you could upgrade their aim speed! Keeping up with the swarms were tough but I can see how with a bit more polish this could be awesome. Grenades are life!

Boom by krammetje 2021-05-09T10:06:43Z

Fun and cute game, nice concept. Well executed. The music was calming but that guitar riff is now stuck in my head all day and it's slightly out of tune!

Safe Cave by Papaver 2021-05-09T09:55:33Z

Played to the end! Great little concept, could be difficult at times! The flags are a good idea, the sound is a bit repetitive and can get frustrating. The movement also feels a bit spongey but great mechanic! Good job!

Magic Worm by namnam 2021-04-27T16:24:19Z

This is a really cool concept. I love that you are learning and expanding on what works and doesn't. Very fun. Loved this. I would have liked maybe a background or changing backgrounds with the floors to add more flavour the artwork of all green could have maybe had more character too. But overall really enjoyed this. Also would have liked to have some text on the items to remind me what they are on mouse over (i.e. what is the block with the x in it?) also understanding why things are draw isn't that clear to me.

L.D. Noire: Down the Rabbit Hole by testuser 2021-05-03T14:56:24Z

Oh wow! my briad hurts! i would have liked the board to be layed out a bit nicer to help me but that is part of the charm. The lines also could obfuscate some of the names but overall this is great!

Vertigo by GaryS 2021-05-09T10:04:38Z

This is great!

The scrolling background did make me feel a bit sick after a while and the SFZ were out of place with the music levels. Both were great though, loved that moody sound track.

Game play was fun and evolved with the speed. I thought that sometimes my character if hit by a skeleton for example i couldn't turn back to face them to hit them back fast enough. A bit frustrrating.

Free Fall by timon 2021-05-09T09:57:47Z

I loved slowing time on this! Good concept nicely executed. Very basic graphics and the SFX were a bit loud compared to the music imo. Well done though. Fun game!

🔥 Magma Eater 🔥 by landosilva 2021-04-27T15:56:10Z

Good intro text, very clear to understand purpose and meaning of things. the sprites for the bad states were a little less clear than they could have been.

Music is very loud.

Fun game though, i thought the animations were great, the sprite effects were cool. Maybe some more SFX might be nice and a bit more vairety on the block types. Also wasn't sure when blocks would fall, maybe another prompt?

Diving Bubble by thesnide 2021-04-27T16:09:44Z

Would be good to have an indication of what the bubble colour sequence is as you switch. I kept panicing. I also think you start off pretty fast and don't get much time. It would be able to switch both ways through the colours so you can go back after you go past the colour.

The SFX were nice, loved the loading screen and the sfx for that. I was also unable to press x to reset at the game over screen?

The Spectrum Soup by SplitPainter 2021-04-27T16:20:04Z

Really enjoyed this. The music was very spookey so was expecting a jump scare. the SFX were also too loud i think.

Also would have liked to be able to not have to press enter but use mouse click. Would make it much easier than switching.

Sensitivity horizontally is too low also i think. Text prompts could also be larger and higher on screen, on a wide screen they are tucked away right at the bottom and small.

This is genuinely a fantastic bit of art. I am so impressed by this, I learned a lout about autism and really made me empathise. I think this is fantastic how you expressed autistic traits, the issues that are faced and how autistic people process them. The understanding and empathy and presentation. I am floored by this. I didn't expect this from a game jam.

Happy Digger by Panagiotis Iatrou 2021-05-03T14:46:02Z

Cute music, very old school but did get very repetitive for me very quickly. Would have loved more variety. The SFX were nice and fit in well.

Lovely made, very clean. The camera shake was a little bit too much for me though.

Shovel is just Love Spelled Backwards by very dark lord 2021-05-03T14:33:38Z

Kinda slow to get to the game-play itself.

The controls were a bit cumberson to switch from f to enter etc. woiuld be good if you could point with a mouse where to dig as it never dug in the area that i mainly expected, that coupled with the slow animations made it a bit tedious at time.

Music and SFX were not balanced well and lots of noise.

Animates are good but slow moving, the load screen between levels for example, felt a bit frustrating.

The level design was great. Loved the puzzles of it and how the water interacted with for example.

Space Buddies by Fractal 2021-05-09T10:09:19Z

Simple, fun game. Good job, I think the graphics were great! very well done, I found it a bit repetitive but the controls were fun and felt satisfying when you had something on the hook.

Plunge by ZwodahS 2021-04-27T16:30:18Z

Sometimes you bounce too far up and takes a while to get down, would be good to get an indication on the top of the screen where your lil dude is. Also a graphic of what each block does to your guy. OVerall v fun quick game!

Lazy Movie Plot Maker 2000 by Fran Gambero 2021-05-03T14:36:38Z

This is a fun idea, beautifully crafted but it's just not that deep for me. I wish there was more to it than this! i was expecting it to try animate it somehow!

The case of the door in the woods by jonah 2021-04-27T16:01:49Z

Loved the music, atmospheric. Good choice of looping but i think the loops are just a little too short and too repetitive, it needs more change up.Also the reverb on the effects lasted too long, i.e. the mushroom so it blended into other things. I think the effects should all be a good bit shorter.

I also loved the stick men animations style of it. Cute game.

1000 Fathoms by Dom De Re 2021-05-01T22:29:41Z

I love that this is 2 player!

The Sfz background was too repetitive, sounded like white noise too much, would have liked it at a lower volumn compared to the rest. The clunking metal steps were great but again a bit loud would have liked them mixed a bit lower and maybe a few more varieties of sound.

Cool concept, I think you could have maybe done the map a bit more zoomed in I think with a bit more detail on the walls. I found myself leaning in to see.

Also the movement of the player character didn't seem to respond as I expected, facing the right direction to swipe was a bit annoying at times as it got more stressful.

Would be nice to be able to attack the monsters also some variety in the things 'attacking' the ship if you fleash this out.

Overall though good job!

Decked Out Clone by mrbrainfed 2021-05-03T14:48:18Z

This never stopped loading for me so was unable to play! Just a heads up!

Johnny Dreams Bad by JacobRutter 2021-05-01T22:25:28Z

Cool game, felt really stressful like a bad dream! Great choice of sfx with it. The bloom animation was well done! Would agree with others, pretty difficult! Good concept and would like to play the full version if you add on to this! Congrats on the game!

TamanDua by Funambulist Cat 2021-04-27T16:41:48Z

Loved the hand drawn feel. The music was a bit clipped in places but fun and atmospheric. I thought it could do with a bit more variation though as it was a bit monotomous. Maybe have it tied to the timer so you can tell when you are running out of time

Deepest Mine by SmelJey 2021-04-27T16:06:23Z

This game doesn't load for me on firefox or chrome on windows 10!

DUNGEON SMASHER by goodwincek 2021-04-27T16:32:59Z

Music is very repetative, needs a few more loops, it also abruptly restarts, the balance of SFX to music is off too, need to drop the sfx a little but cool physica and fun just ploughing through the bricks. Would love some gamplay on this. Also could vary up the sprits for the blocks etc but really cool!

Gobs of the Deep by Tiseno 2021-05-03T14:39:46Z

Game is very dark. The graphics of this needed to be bolder I think. The jump mechanics were really frustratingly difficult. I didn't enjoy the audio queues, too repetitive with little movement or balance.

The level design was good but basic but i still spent a lot of time on this!

The Golden Saucisse by BrokenMatcha 2021-05-03T14:42:37Z

Very cutely animated. I like the style. The background music was cute plucky but the SFX were mixed too loud in some parts and a bit repeative.

The game controls as well were arbitray and my fingers were cramping up!

Overall good effort and congrats on your first game jam! :D

LD49 — Unstable

Potion Hero: Alchemist after Dark by p0l4r 2021-10-05T13:25:40Z

Cool mood in this, a bit dark on the graphics but really fun puzzler!

Louis The Scientist by Maxime Cyr 2021-10-05T13:22:30Z

Love the look of this! Think it's a neat concept and if fleshed out more could be a good plate spinning type game. Really enjoyed this!

Jimothy and the Unstable Sword by GabrielGameDev 2021-10-05T13:29:18Z

Great game! Well done! Really liked the concept and loved the rolling animation! looks great!

Banana Jack by Moritz14 2021-10-05T13:38:34Z

Really fun game! Love the challenge of it! not too hard once you realise you can go for speed but fun to play! Nice Job!

Llamageddon by Dunk 2021-10-05T13:32:23Z

Really enjoyed this! Was really stressful but in a good way! Really enjoyed competing! Music sounds great too!

Crash Bomb by Lyna Kuzuryu 2021-10-05T13:24:04Z

The music started to get to me after a while! Fun puzzler! I got stuck though!!!
