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!
I honestly think this is the best game I've reviewed so far. Everything else has been summarized in comments before. Respect!
The game is just amazing in all aspects, had tons of fun playing it! Good work. Kudos for linux build which worked flawlessly!
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
Enjoyed it a lot. Brings back memories of the olden pixel-art games a lot! Good job!
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!
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!
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!
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!
Super relaxing and fun! Visuals and mood are next-level. Kudos.
Dem magma, nom nom nom! Interesting take on a bejeweled-like genre. I like how it was executed, especially given the time constraints. GJ!
Super nice for a jam game! Took me a while to figure out what to do nut otherwise, fun!
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!
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!
Fun concept which could be expanded upon in the future. Good job!
Great art, sound and a lot fun to play. Congrats!
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!
Really liked the art, amazing amount of detail. Had a bit of trouble using vomit, but very pretty and fun overall!

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!
DEVLIC`S ABSORPTION by Tugaryn 2025-04-10T22:11:34Z ♥ 1
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!
Falling by ayuv 2025-04-10T21:41:13Z ♥ 1
Pretty interesting gameplay idea. Though, the mirror did move a bit too much for me, still, nice entry!

DOWN INTO THE DEPTHS by red 2025-04-10T21:18:39Z ♥ 1
Nicely done! Graphics are really cool and the mechanic with reloading the gun fits in perfectly with the setting. Kudos!
Low Maintenance by Juutis 2025-04-10T21:13:03Z ♥ 2

abyss by A0405u 2025-04-10T20:42:13Z ♥ 2
I just love the pixelart, it is gorgeous! Having a simple tutorial would not hurt, but regardless, this was pretty nicely done. Kudos!
Darkest Depths by rrsmtz 2025-04-10T20:37:18Z ♥ 0
Very nicely done! With some little polish and variety, this could grow into a commercial game!

The Haunted Depths by ljg 2025-04-10T20:23:44Z ♥ 0
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!
Deep Bat Rage by shadow64 2025-04-10T20:18:02Z ♥ 1
Nice mood and feel! It is simple, yet satisfying. Kudos!
HellDigger – A Cozy Idle Game by sangheli 2025-04-10T20:10:25Z ♥ 2
Pretty neat idea, though, it really needs some sounds. Good job overall regardless!
Excapade by Ch48 2025-04-10T20:06:32Z ♥ 3
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!
Abyss Miner by Hawkbar 2025-04-10T20:01:33Z ♥ 0
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!
Cloud Sea Catalog by TomatoLamp 2025-04-08T22:38:59Z ♥ 1
Nice atmosphere but at times hard to discern details.

Simply awesome - visuals, gameplay, mood... Really good game!
STOCK DEPTH by shp 2025-04-08T22:00:03Z ♥ 2
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.
Call from the depths by pitivie 2025-04-08T21:54:26Z ♥ 2
I never imagined building a staircase out of my own corpses would be so fun. Super original, Kudos!
The OPERATOR by Tomtomgome 2025-04-08T21:43:38Z ♥ 6
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!
Scrab the Scrabbler by schadocalex 2025-04-08T21:34:28Z ♥ 5
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!
Krabby Asscape by KaueSilva 2025-04-08T21:28:06Z ♥ 3
I liked the level transition effect very much. Gameplay is simple, but works pretty well. Kudos!
The Hidden Depths by nsadie 2025-04-08T21:24:24Z ♥ 1

It seems the link to try the game out is not working.
Doodley Descent by LarsieVL 2025-04-08T21:11:00Z ♥ 1
Simple, but addicting! Nicely done!
Used To Be by Heiden.BZR 2025-04-08T21:02:57Z ♥ 3
It's a bit buggy, though, nice looking!
The Dig by ditam 2025-04-08T20:56:45Z ♥ 0
A tutorial would be really nice. I was puzzled what the goal actually was - and sounds were a tad bit too loud.
Depths Of Terror by Dan Davis 2025-04-08T20:53:58Z ♥ 2
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!
Depths Space 9 by Wisch 2025-04-08T20:48:38Z ♥ 2
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!
Kind of deep waters by 7uc4s 2025-04-08T20:42:59Z ♥ 3
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!

Nice progression, graphics and most of all - movement and feel of the game. Kudos!
The Adventures of Wormington by Logan_Core 2025-04-08T18:12:36Z ♥ 2
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!
Devour by ScoobySnacks 2025-04-08T18:01:55Z ♥ 1
The premise is really nice. Graphics, though simple, paired with music really set the mood! I had fun playing it, good job!
The Treasure of the Gigantanic by Zirrrus 2025-04-08T17:57:58Z ♥ 1
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!
The Depths Below the Tower by Kseon 2025-04-08T17:50:11Z ♥ 1
Very nice art! I liked the story too!
