LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Can you Dig It? by petitpois 2021-04-29T21:46:54Z

Enjoyed it a lot. Brings back memories of the olden pixel-art games a lot! Good job!

Super Drill Boy by rakart 2021-04-29T21:32:19Z

Nice visuals and audio though the controls fell a bi clunky, like it is super easy to get stuck on a wall, otherwise, good amount of difficulty and a nice game!

Survivre by dokthar 2021-05-14T23:54:49Z

Kudos for writing it from scratch and even extra kudos for emscripten! Had a lot of fun. Some sort of feedback when hitting a wall and maybe a depth counter for score could be nice addition.

Fathomless by superjai 2021-04-29T20:52:47Z

Super relaxing and fun! Visuals and mood are next-level. Kudos.

The Little Boring Drill by deathray 2021-04-29T21:54:27Z

Took me a while to figure out the game but i really liked the concept. Good job! With a bit of polish, this could become my go-to passive-web-gaming addiction :D

Ancient Heart by ThiefViolinist 2021-04-29T20:50:12Z

Super nice for a jam game! Took me a while to figure out what to do nut otherwise, fun!

Jelly fall by mockthebear 2021-04-28T11:33:20Z

Great art, sound and a lot fun to play. Congrats!

Deepest Sword by Strega 2021-04-30T20:06:44Z

Superbly polished, interesting mechanic, amazing visuals and audio. Everything else has been mentioned before. Somehow, it ended up much better in practice than it is on paper, so great job!

Dome Romantik by Rongo Matane 2021-04-30T20:03:35Z

I honestly think this is the best game I've reviewed so far. Everything else has been summarized in comments before. Respect!

Sublunker by Fuzzy Lobster 2021-04-28T11:48:42Z

Controls felt a bit odd at first but I got used to them after a while. Theme is spot-on, visuals and audio also. Liked the concept a lot, Kudos!

🔥 Magma Eater 🔥 by landosilva 2021-04-29T20:51:35Z

Dem magma, nom nom nom! Interesting take on a bejeweled-like genre. I like how it was executed, especially given the time constraints. GJ!

RRRR U Scared ? by Chalivat Quentin 2021-04-30T18:09:19Z

The game is just amazing in all aspects, had tons of fun playing it! Good work. Kudos for linux build which worked flawlessly!

The Deep North by buckmeister 2021-04-27T20:58:11Z

Wow, the feedback! Comment section exploded :) I'm so happy everyone liked it! As soon as 21 days pass, the game will get more love and content!

Thank you all! <3

Pokefish : Gotta flash em' all ! by Legolula 2021-04-28T11:39:26Z

Fun concept which could be expanded upon in the future. Good job!

Fairy Dunjeon by KudneuS 2021-04-28T11:28:11Z

Congrats on your first jam! The game was a bit hard for my slow fingers but otherwise fun. Liked the audio too. Keep up the good work!

Ocean Snap by TheJookerful 2021-04-29T21:19:52Z

The flash effect when you take the picture of yourself was a nice touch and made me smile. Overall the game is super nice, the mood is on point, visuals and audio also. Great game to just chill while playing. Kudos!

One More Cellar by Magna 2021-04-29T21:13:53Z

Simple and fun, all the ingredients are here for a good rouge-like. The arrow seemed to have a bigger hitbox than it's actual size, not sure if that's intentional or not. All in all, had fun, got to the 9th cellar. Would be glad to see where you could take the game in the future. Good job!

Seriously Deep Space! by Braden land 2021-04-29T20:30:36Z

Fun albeit a bit on the tougher side. The physics based weapon system is a nice touch. Maybe adding different kinds of weapons like a laser that could cut the asteroids or a rocket that explodes them could add more diversity if you'd like to develop the game concept further. Congrats for the first jam!

Dangerous Depths by Mololo 2021-04-29T21:43:15Z

Sub model is cute, though, the camera is too-zoomed in and it is super hard to avoid mines the deeper you go and collect any of the power-ups, maybe some pointer/indicator showing where power-ups are coming could help with that, on the other hand, moving the sub to be at the top of the screen seems like a good approach also. That said, great first entry!

Deep Snails Night by JLMast 2021-04-28T11:14:00Z

Really liked the art, amazing amount of detail. Had a bit of trouble using vomit, but very pretty and fun overall!

LD57 — Depths

LD57 - Spade Invaders by aurel 2025-04-08T21:13:24Z

It seems the link to try the game out is not working.

Back From Abyss by resty 2025-04-08T17:46:10Z

I really liked mechanics with the torch! Movement feels very nice. Good job!

Deep Bat Rage by shadow64 2025-04-10T20:18:02Z

Nice mood and feel! It is simple, yet satisfying. Kudos!

Depths Space 9 by Wisch 2025-04-08T20:48:38Z

Interesting mechanics, though a bit same-y throughout the game, adding more depth in order not to only rely on rolling would be a nice touch too. Either way, congrats on making the game!

DOWN INTO THE DEPTHS by red 2025-04-10T21:18:39Z

Nicely done! Graphics are really cool and the mechanic with reloading the gun fits in perfectly with the setting. Kudos!

The Treasure of the Gigantanic by Zirrrus 2025-04-08T17:57:58Z

For 48 hours, this is bonkers. Graphics, models, sonar mechanics, constant switching of stations back and forth to prevent the sub from exploding, I love it!

BUMMÖCK by alec 2025-04-10T20:27:46Z

Always glad to see another tic-80 game! Nicely done!

Hollowspire by simex 2025-04-08T22:32:22Z

Perfect 5/7. Hands down. a84bc8f285c87dba0344b9df74302542.jpg

Scrab the Scrabbler by schadocalex 2025-04-08T21:34:28Z

I like the idea, very novel! There are some improvements to UI which would be very helpful - marking letters and not shuffling them, as well as adding a simple tutorial level with a single short word to teach the mechanics. Overall pretty nice game!

Cave Glider by detectiveLosos 2025-04-08T17:32:39Z

This is really nice! Sounds could be a bit quieter, other than that, had much fun playing it!

A Leap in the Dark by mmemim 2025-04-08T22:03:36Z

Simply awesome - visuals, gameplay, mood... Really good game!

Depths Of Terror by Dan Davis 2025-04-08T20:53:58Z

Nice little SHMUP you made there! I enjoyed it a lot. A little bit more variety and more noticeably stacking upgrades would only add to the experience! Kudos!

Moose Diver by Maskrosen 2025-04-08T21:15:18Z

Neat idea and nicely done! Kudos!

Low Maintenance by Juutis 2025-04-10T21:13:03Z

For 72 hours, this is amazing! Really liked the old Wolfenstein3D vibe there, good job!

Krabby Asscape by KaueSilva 2025-04-08T21:28:06Z

I liked the level transition effect very much. Gameplay is simple, but works pretty well. Kudos!

STOCK DEPTH by shp 2025-04-08T22:00:03Z

Buy high, sell low. Even in a game. This game summoned an living r/wsb member next to me!

Kudos, was super fun! Minor adjustments to the UI would be nice, like markers when you bought a share or average value of stock in portfolio.

Relic Rift by tetrapteryx 2025-04-08T18:25:48Z

I really enjoyed the game! Was fun discovering what to do and how to play. Kudos!

abyss by A0405u 2025-04-10T20:42:13Z

I just love the pixelart, it is gorgeous! Having a simple tutorial would not hurt, but regardless, this was pretty nicely done. Kudos!

The Dig by ditam 2025-04-08T20:56:45Z

A tutorial would be really nice. I was puzzled what the goal actually was - and sounds were a tad bit too loud.

The Hidden Depths by nsadie 2025-04-08T21:24:24Z

Super nicely done! Got 66 on my first run, subsequent runs were a tad better. I'll be returning to this one for sure :) Kudos!

Uncovering The Mysteries Of The Cursed Tomb by Anson Rutherford 2025-04-08T18:36:53Z

I liked the puzzles and mood! Really nicely done :)

Dark Depths by buckmeister 2025-04-08T21:05:15Z

Thank you for your feedback @detectivelosos! We were really tight with time so upgrades and balancing lacks a lot of polish.

Cloud Sea Catalog by TomatoLamp 2025-04-08T22:38:59Z

Nice atmosphere but at times hard to discern details.

Darkest Depths by rrsmtz 2025-04-10T20:37:18Z

Very nicely done! With some little polish and variety, this could grow into a commercial game!

Focal Depth by parkuhrmd 2025-04-10T20:31:31Z

I like the idea, art and music, very nicely done. Kudos!

Used To Be by Heiden.BZR 2025-04-08T21:02:57Z

It's a bit buggy, though, nice looking!

The OPERATOR by Tomtomgome 2025-04-08T21:43:38Z

Just WOW! This was an experience! Mood, sounds, narrative, stickers, mechanics... for 72 hours is just insane. This is bookmarked and I'll be returning to this game!

Also, thanx for the Linux build!

Kudos!

Abyss Miner by Hawkbar 2025-04-10T20:01:33Z

Has much potential, with a few tweaks to collision detection and some quality of life like pointers to the mothership, this would even more awesome! Good job!

Call from the depths by pitivie 2025-04-08T21:54:26Z

I never imagined building a staircase out of my own corpses would be so fun. Super original, Kudos!

DEVLIC`S ABSORPTION by Tugaryn 2025-04-10T22:11:34Z

Gotta be honest, i did three playthroughs, hadn't still beaten hard mode though. Pretty nicely done! A few polish passes and this could easily be a full game!

Dark Ness by Soul Grinder 2025-04-08T22:10:52Z

Nice game! Atmosphere, minigames and "Nice" voice, Kudos!

The Haunted Depths by ljg 2025-04-10T20:23:44Z

This was pretty fun. Took me awhile to go through all branches in the dialog. With some sounds and maybe animated background/variation, it would be even better! Good job!

Doodley Descent by LarsieVL 2025-04-08T21:11:00Z

Simple, but addicting! Nicely done!

The Adventures of Wormington by Logan_Core 2025-04-08T18:12:36Z

I had a lot of fun with this - art style, music, sound effects, gameplay and mechanics all hit the right spot. This is not far form a full releasable game! Kudos!

Excapade by Ch48 2025-04-10T20:06:32Z

I liked the "u died lol" popup :)

Combat was a nice touch too! With some sounds and a moody soundtrack, game would rock! Great work!

Timmy Dives by Timo5034 2025-04-08T18:20:21Z

Nice progression, graphics and most of all - movement and feel of the game. Kudos!

Kind of deep waters by 7uc4s 2025-04-08T20:42:59Z

Very solid game, initially i completely missed the bubbles and asked myself how to replenish o2, but after a few deaths, it ended up being pretty addicting! Great job!

Lone Digger by The Spinning Sofa 2025-04-10T20:51:15Z

Very neat spin on a clicker game! Liked the graphics and sound a lot! Great job!

. by protzz 2025-04-10T22:30:19Z

Nice premise! Also kudos for making this in 48 hours, mad respect. I was not sure what controls to use and selecting with left click and dragging with right threw me off a lot, also, occasionally, input seems to bug out and locks me out of doing anything - happens most often in the shop. Still, even with bugs, this is amazing!

Devour by ScoobySnacks 2025-04-08T18:01:55Z

The premise is really nice. Graphics, though simple, paired with music really set the mood! I had fun playing it, good job!

Falling by ayuv 2025-04-10T21:41:13Z

Pretty interesting gameplay idea. Though, the mirror did move a bit too much for me, still, nice entry!

HellDigger – A Cozy Idle Game by sangheli 2025-04-10T20:10:25Z

Pretty neat idea, though, it really needs some sounds. Good job overall regardless!

Echo Dive by Ricesteam 2025-04-10T21:36:29Z

Nicely done! Cool visuals and audio, also Merman's reaction to shooting him made me laugh too!

The Depths Below the Tower by Kseon 2025-04-08T17:50:11Z

Very nice art! I liked the story too!

SKYLINE EXCAVATOR by swordguy47 2025-04-08T22:35:23Z

Really fun to play! Kudos!

Thallas by HDVR02 2025-04-10T21:32:08Z

The mood is really nice, also congrats on your first LD jam entry, and a pretty good one at that!
