You know, neutron stars always fascinate me and being able to create a solar system with many satelites orbiting said neutron star was fun to watch. Thanks for the experience.
Would you like to play a game thats nuts? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/the-last-acorns
Core mechanics are nice (besides murdering people like a luny XD). I ran out of energy quite offten and gathering enough money to reduce the MENTAL-meter was pretty hard, maybe that could have been a bit better balanced.
Would you like to play a game thats equally nuts? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/the-last-acorns
Nice game dude!
Dungeon crawling in its finest form (or should I say cellar crawling XD). Opened my window so cold air could fill my room. In combination with cold air and the atmospheric music the game really immersed me. At the beginning I was a little confused with the controls (so much choice) but after a while I figured out how to throw rocks properly. I whish I could have used or at least found some spells, its a basement of a wizzard after all. Would like to see some additional stuff. Good job!
-Visuals are great
-Controls are very intuitive
-Would have like to see the ship falling into to abiss
-Maybe you could add some more levels (maybe different races trying to find the new world from different lcation on the flat world)
Interesting game. Art direction is neat. Concept is good eventhough I have to say figureing the secrets out was quite difficult.
Did play your game. I struggled a bit and when suddenly more of my body showed up I was super confused. I think increasing the insight, into the characters story, bit by bit was a good aproach for building up that "the more you have the worse it is" theme. Eventhough I am not a fan of sad endings this ending wasn't that bad (especialy because your story game reminded me a bit of The Sicth Sense).^^
Hi Pedro, I enjoyed your game. Frankly speaking, I enjoyed your game a bit too much I guess. After having played 10 hours plus I even decided to make a video in speedrunning fashion.
Lets talk about your game:
First of all I want to address that you nailed the theme, in my opinion, of this Ludum Dare. Having a stunmechanic that becomes worse the more often you got hit is very fitting. The second theme based mechanic is losing time faster after you drank from the eldritch blood. You could also go so far and tie your time mechanic to a H.P. Lovecraft theme. For instance, every time you drink from the blood you become a little bit more nervous and your insanity meter depletes therfore a bit faster or some sort of H.P. Lovecraft horror theme (because you know everyone in a H.P. Lovecraft story becomes mad a certain point in that story).
Secondly I want to talk about your enemy design. What was outstanding is the fact that the enemies are designed orthogonaly, meaning that they have different attributes. You have the EyeOrbs that avoid you and try to snipe you (trust me they will snipe you) and on the other hand you have the DeepOnes. The DeepOnes are incontrast to the EyeOrbs very slow, but pursue you and in contrast to that you have the fast moving fast attacking Cultists. There also enemies that are almost completly immobile but can take a lot of hits and shoot with a spreed shot pattern to compensate for their immobility.
The next topic is the level design. A bit simple. However the Levels you created did their job very good. At a certain point in my WR run you can see that used a corner to slow down two Cultists. Otherwise killing two agroed Cultists would have been a difficult task. I realy appreciated the H.P. Lovecraft inspired atmosphere of To The Depths. Being a Lovecraft fan I realy enjoid the crawl through the ruins.
The last point is the gameplay. Overall the feel was very good and it almost felt if the game was in a refined state. If you time your attacks on the DeepOnes correctly you can stunlock them. I were also able to stunlock the Boss (not sure if it was intended). It was almost like I was dancing with the Yogs. The Yogs were especially hard after I managed to reach them for the first couple of times. Until I noticed that a Yog will immediatly do a slash attack after you attacked it and you only had to repeat that until it was dead (repeating that hit and evade tactic is what I mean when saying "it almost felt like dancing"). I also used the Shoggoth to my advantage, because the shots of the Shoggoths can also open the doors. Those Shoggoth shots could also open doors that are not on screen which is especially nice in a speedrunning context.
Overall the experience with To The Depths was great. I had a blast playing your game and it also inspired me to make my own To The Depths (and I am definitely waiting for updates on this game^^).
Bug: not sure with this one, but it seems that the reaction time of the cultists becomes longer the longer the game is running. Could be a problem with the engine?

I thought I had a creative twist on the theme XD this is awesome XD
Nice <3
No Mans Ld Jam? XD
This deserves so much more ratings!
Good Luck!
@fatpenguin exactly!^^
@fatpenguin exactly!^^
Tell me how you hid the boarders of the Window immedeatly! Perkele! This is black magic! Heresy! Call the Emperor!
But on a serious note, how did you do that? Nice artwork btw, but everything else is just realy mindblowing.
Damn the red eyed one! He is anoing and I could not axe enough to go and leave, eventhough I axed him very politely.^^
@blackopsben what happens in stage 3 is that the game checks if output has a true, but no buttons are pressed. If these conditions are satisfied stage 3 is passed. However, for example the way a NOT gate works is that it has a constant true value at the out-pin if the in-pin has a false value at it. In that case no buttons are pressed and the ouput has a true value if you connected the NOT gate to the output, which satisfies the win condition, but isn't the correct answer. I think its not necessarily a bug, but definitely an exploit. ^^'
@smbe19 connector lines can't be deleted, but gates can be. The red "X" in the upper right corner of any gate can be used to delete something. Connector lines can be deleted if they are connected to a gate and you delete the gate. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to delete the connector lines seperatley.
@rexagon what exactly do you mean with unstable? Could you specify so I can improve the code basis?
@multiplexor very good fitting name! <3
Getting some major super meatloaf vibes!
I realy need to start tinkering with PICO-8. Those games look awesome.
<3
lol
This game is a complete meltdown XD
Dude, the visuals are great! Sittig at the fire and seeing the wast forest in the Background is awesome. Love that there is no game over. The PC just goes home because of boredom. XD
Is there any goal besides collecting fire wood? Can I beat the Game?
Nice fauxgravity
Did you become mad while developing? Eh eh, did you get it? Becoming mad? Cthulhu?
<3
Kind of broke the game. Shoved the fox to the far right of the screen and snipped the owls. I was able to hit enemies off screen by just guessing where they might be. Those owls never came near my precious fox! Nice game you created! @
Hey, those waves look familiar! Reminds me of Zelda Windwaker. How did you create those waves?
@yxmx-rsx thx mate^^
lol had some hilarious moments with this game. I spawned into a rock and lost all three lives immedieatly.
<3
I am a little bit confused. Couldnt find an end.
Nice idea for a little plattformer. I had some problems realy jumping precisely, buit I guess thats just the difficulty of the game (which is not something bad^^).
Whats great about the game is the music. The atmosphere of the theme realy fits the visuals.
"Reptilian creatures stand before you and speak in a gutural language" Doom Rip and Tear intensifies XD
Realy neat little game. I like the color choice and that the PCs are little tofu cubes^^. I kind of brute forced my way to the end of the stage. I had three party members of which one reached the final door. I ran past every mob I encountered. Said hi to the Lich and just left without a fight.
Awesome game about logic!!! I thought I was the only one who went down the "logic path" for this jam^^. However, I think my game is a little more abstract.
First things first, your art style is very nice. The little intricate animation of the bar is very nice. Letting the bar bounce arround when it begins moving gives it a certain level vibrancy.
Mechanics wise it took me some time to figure out how to controle the ball. However after I knew what I was doing I enjoyed playing all puzzles.
All in all I would say that you have a pretty finished game, even with musik what you don't always see^^

First things first, your artstyle is very nice^^. Eventhough your pixelart is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand your have your super detailed ship models and on the other hand your have the pixelated beam (I know its just a beam and it does its job ver nicely), but from a consistency point of view you could change that if you intend to further polish your game.
Mechanics wise its pretty fun to maneuver the ship via key inputs, however I struggled a bit to change direction in the right time to avoid enemy fire (I am a noob at touch typing :-p). I could compensate for my lack of skill with Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v, "fire" again and again pasted, but I am not sure if those key binds are concidered cheating :D.
Overall I think you have created a pretty fun and finished game^^.
If you want you can rate our game too. We still need some ratings. You can find us here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/hoverfield-park-beat-haven
Interesting game idea. Your game reminded me of 10,000,000 (a dungeon crawler mixed with a Match3 game^^).
First things first, your artstyle is very fitting in my opinion. Everything is visually clear and emmediatly recognizeable. From the controls point of view its very nice only to have to use the mouse, which makes it easily portable for mobile platforms. However the mechanics confused me in the beginning. I wasn't sure when my turn was and when not. If you could implement some sort of feedback, for the player, that his turn is over and the enemies turn started, that would be great^^.
All in all, I would say that you have a pretty finished game which is also fun to play.
If you like you can rate my game. We still need some evaluation^^ You can find us here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/hoverfield-park-beat-haven
