LD29 — Beneath the Surface

The Sun And Moon by managore 2014-04-29T17:40:00

Absolutely beautiful! I think this is the most fun I've had out of the LD48 games I've played so far! :) Nice mechanics, beautiful movement/polish and it's nice to look at too!

Acceptance by zatyka 2014-04-30T23:08:00

Really unique game, nice graphics and interesting way of working with the theme too, very thought provoking :c

Mine Climber by lfpetrini 2014-04-30T14:56:00

Really fun game :D I got 100 floors before a goblin maimed me xD Lots of fun though :) and very smooth controls wise too

Pipe Wars by ovenchips 2014-04-30T16:28:00

The movement feels really nice in this game :) Cool concept too! Enjoyed it ^^

Infinite Island by Andrew Adams 2014-04-30T15:22:00

A really cool game! :D Took me a few minutes to get used to the controls, but as soon as I'd gotten those figured out, I really enjoyed it :) The fail messages are brilliant too xD

Submarine (treasure hunting) by reidrac 2014-04-29T11:54:00

Really enjoyable game :D The graphics style is really sweet too :)

Dowser (Lucy) by fluidvolt 2014-05-01T09:45:00

I really enjoyed this game, great music, humor and graphics :) Really short, but it was a lot of fun!

Overwhelmed by OhFiddleDiddle 2014-04-30T15:12:00

A really poignant and moving little game o:

SUBLEVEL ZERO by Lyje 2014-04-29T15:32:00

Really cool game :) Nicely polished for a game made in such a short time too! Really enjoyed playing!

Beneath the Surface... Adventure by Laralyn 2014-04-29T02:58:00

Really nice game :) I love the day/night idea!
I enjoyed watching your stream too, seeing what processes you were going though to try and teach the player the mechanics, it's really cool to be able to play it now and it definitely has that Myst/Aura kind of feel to it!

Atomicle - LostAutumn.net by AutumnGuy 2014-04-30T15:54:00

Great game, really relaxing to play and the music is great :)

Inner War by KickBack 2014-05-01T10:12:00

Absolutely wonderful :D Really nice concept and I love the integration of the two game types! Really cool ^^

tell my story by mjrevel 2014-04-30T23:23:00

Movement is a little slow and there doesn't seem to be anything that points you in the direction you're supposed to be going in, but otherwise, the game has a nice atmosphere and feel to it :)

Fishie Fruit by czery 2014-04-30T14:45:00

Sweet little game! I love the music, gives the game a nice atmosphere :)

Crayon Miners by Charimation 2014-04-29T15:07:00

Thanks for the nice comments guys ;u;

@MPaul - That's a good point o: I've edited it, so any keyboard button can now start the game :) I hope that's less annoying. Thanks for the feedback!

@Philip - Those are some really good ideas, thanks for the feedback :D Yeah xD I think maybe I should've thought about the learning curve a little more as it kind of throws you straight in and is tricky.

The miners just up your supply delivered count by 1 when you bump into them :) There's 5 of them to get, although the main point is to get to the supply miner at the bottom, so that's the important one ^^

and yeah, I re-made the tile sheet when I got home because I wasn't happy with the stuff I'd made, the other sprites were just a place holder for a little bit until I got home and could use a proper drawing program :)

The only issue with jamming at 8bit is my laptop is almost 7 years old now, so it takes forever to load the play-tests and it's not powerful enough to have any of the usual drawing tools I use working smoothly. Maybe next time I'll figure out a way to bring my main computer down with me as I do enjoy jamming with other people around :D It's just a really inefficient use of my time waiting for play tests that take 10 mins to load when my desktop does it in 20 seconds xD

Thank you for the comments :)

Hollow Planet by Akz- 2014-04-30T23:04:00

Nice interpretation of the theme! I love the side switching mechanic, really fun and nice graphics too :)

I Hope Drill Sempai Notices Me by Pirat 2014-04-30T07:53:00

Great game! :) Such a funny concept and nicely polished too!

Fishing On The Ice by DonovanWu 2014-05-01T10:03:00

Fun little game :) The submarines made me laugh a little xD
But yeah, solid controls, good gameplay, nice work ^^

Surface Layered Balls by leddkire 2014-04-29T16:04:00

Really fun little game and a really creative idea too! :) I love how cheery the music is!

Coral Caverns by Chronoberry 2014-05-01T00:25:00

Cute little game, I love the music too :) Has a fun atmosphere

Save Us by philip_sinclair 2014-04-29T12:10:00

Oh, hey I recognize this game! (it's Char from the jam down at 8Bit)
It's looking really great, super unique and original gameplay and really challenging too! I enjoyed playing it :) Such a cool idea!

Tokelau by Mark Ffrench 2014-05-01T17:12:00

Really quite an impressive game :) I enjoyed playing once I got the hang of things ^^

Snow Buddy Loves You: A Snowoperative Adventure by Norgg 2014-12-10T20:21:00

Very cool game, made us jump when the red blocks started coming in! Quite challenging and a lot of fun :)I loved the co-op aspect
