Cresceda leaves an average of 11.1 feedback comments each event.
This was really cool! Atmosphere fits, quite mysterious. It would be cool if it was a bit more difficult but that also affects the sound/music to the point where the intention is lost. The morse code is a nice touch, though I don't know any. Read the comment above tho :).
Pretty fun! Reminds me of TBoI, but apparently this is a new(?) brand of game? I like the upgrade system and the game feels polished overall :).
This is really cool and mysterious! The premise of finding new words through the mysteries portrayed in the game is a really cool way to introduce the player to new things.
Cute! Artstyle is dope, big chungus is sometimes falling of the screen though. Really like it :)
Moving around was cool! Camera moves around in a fun way. Visuals are nice, works together strangely well.
Fun game! Reminds me of one of my/our own entries. Dodge rolling feels great! The gun function feels a little week compared to the melee option. It's fun to kite the Yeti's though, adds a sense of tension that the other enemies don't have as much (which they make up for in having to dodge). Fun entry!
This reminds me a bit of the old bartender flash game. The art style is really cool and fits the setting, as well as the music. Takes some time to figure out the combinations, as hovering on everything takes time. But I could see how that might be intended as well. Cool entry!
Complex, but fun! Fits the theme and the artwork is great. I didn't get all of the summs but I did feel like getting there :).
The narrative and gameplay are fun! It's cute, and these games fit right up my alley. I agree with that there's some polishing that could be gone, but it's functional and enjoyable!
I like the idea of the game! I can walk back and right, up and left don't work. Framerate drops as well, at least on the online version. Breaking things feels good though, so I had fun doing that :).
Edit: I see the comment on the page about the web version now! I'll give the desktop version a try.
I'm really sad I no longer have access to my old keyboard. Very unique in the approach, nice entry!
I second the reminder this gives of the Grow series. It's really cute, the art style especially! Couldn't figure out the last one ("cat takes it all") despite trying for a bit T-T.
This game is really cool! The artwork, music and narrative fit and fit into the theme in a creative way. It's cool to see the branching storyline. I'd like to make something like this sometime :).
Funny game! I like the complexity of the game and it fits the theme quite well. Very cute as well :).
I managed to get a chicken! I like the premise and the effects are cool. Reforumulating Overcooked to summon things without the same aim is an interesting idea and it's a good entry! It feels a little random though (I tested; it's not), a recipe book would have been really helpful. It still gives you the randomness but saving recipes gives some direction.
Nice game! Shooting feels and looks nice. The Itch page is a bit glitchy for me, have to manually zoom out Chrome to see the spellbook? Music fits the game! Spells are cool, description would be nice (unless I missed it).
I may be slightly addicted to rhythm games like Osu/BS/RH and I really love this! I'd probably play it more if it was expanded on.
This is adorable. The art is cool, animations of the balls are satisfying as well as the sounds and the screen shake. Really cool entry!
Cute graphics! Can't press escape so resetting is a bit difficult.
This is really cool! Feels very smooth and is entertaining. It does feel a little difficult to click on things quickly, as it's possible to misclick the drongs.
The driving is fun! Reminded me of two games I used to play; the Gorillaz driver flash game and Moon Buggy from around 2000. I'm not really sure what I need to do; I think it's about avoiding the balls?
Nice entry!
Looks cool! Movement controls could be slightly less intense.
Dropping the packages made me feel like santa c:.
Really cool visuals! Music fits the game very well. The game would have benefitted from more extensive movement (Faster, in air, etc). Nice entry!
At some point I was actually physically responding to the driving and the obstacles; especially when the balls came rolling at me. Pretty fun! I like the prioritizing for the art assets.
The title screen, movement, art, rigging, dedication and voice acting are all very cool. The game itself misses some purpose due to the lack of collision and unclarity of what the lives are for. There's also no limit you can reach, both down as well as up, causing the player to be able to avoid both the environment as well as the arrows.
Lot of potential and passion though!
The pixelart is nice and the shooting is fun. Missed some purpose after the buff cat, but it seems that just was an intended win condition without a win screen =).
I got jumpscared by just noise. Cool pixelart!
Takes some while getting used to (especially for people with executive functioning problems) but the game becomes quite fun! There is a bit of pixel jitter/graphics glitchiness with black lines for me though.
This was very fun to play! Really want to see a professional Valorant player play this.
The game is pretty fun, reminds me of older flash games and gave me a similar feeling. Only feedback is how the sand is almost the same color as the background, causing it to become harder to see.
Love the artstyle! Heads up; game needs to be played in full-screen on the webgl version to work.
Very promising, cool graphics! Something you can keep working on. The purpose and controls are a bit confusing though, might be something to put more emphasis on. Really cool entry!
Liked your game! Never saw so much sh*t in my life but I won't complain.
My favorite game so far! It's fun and I am glad you didn't fully commit to the theme (cocoon isnt always bad, the game is doable and not bound to be lost). I also laughed quite a bit. Only feedback I have are the controls when on the ground; it gets quite confusing and difficult to steer when you're upside down.
Nice job on the music! I don't know it fits but it was well made. Cool graphics and just seeing him around the corner may or may not have jumpscared me a couple times. The AI seems a bit random though, in the sense of it "just" walks around, even if you look at it he can turn around or away.
PS. I saw the donut ;)
Let's just say I gave a high score on humor ;)
I can't really add on top of others here, nicely done for the time that was available! Weirdly enough quite a lot of immersion and a lot of effort went into this. It has a lot of potential, you may want to continue on this after the jam ^^
Edit: I looked at both of your other games, really like the look of them =)
Quite fun to play! The powerups feel really nice. The only feedback I have is that it would maybe be cool to be able to stay afloat more or maybe combo between ghosts (in short, more mobility), though that sounds like a post-jam thing =)
Ended with a scientist civilization. Quite fun, liked the particle explosions. Feedback would be to make the meteor approach slowly, it would give the player a sense of doom ^^
Fun game! I like the camerawork and the graphics, it all blends well together. It does seem a little easy to misunderstand the game and how it works. While you can't place a tutorial in the game anymore in terms of the Jam, you can still place a quick tutorial in text form on the page =)
Love the art style! Reminds me of Catan a bit. I do miss some instructions though, it took some time to figure it out.
Edit: It was very fun to play though! Nice submission ^^
(...) as all things should be.
Quite relaxing! I have no idea how you reached over 2k but I might try to beat it one of these days =). Use of the light is very well done and just using simple cubes you delivered a unique experience. Bravo! =)
This is probably the best entry I've seen so far. With relatively little assets you created a lot of different gameplay aspects. The music fits great, the lighting and particle systems are amazing, the idea is original, the use of the camera is professional and the legs of the candle are a gem. The only commentary I have that includes feedback are the controls. While they themselves don't feel wonky, with the camera from this perspective it sometimes becomes a little unpredictable where you land after jumping. Amazing entry!
Hey this was actually a lot of fun to play! The idea/concept is relatively original. The only feedback I have for now is that the collision is sometimes a bit clunky (clipping through walls/shaking objects) and the movement felt iffy since a lot of objects can just continue jumping. Great entry!
This is... peculiar. In a good way.
I swear to *redacted* God, this is probably the first game in a while that I was genuinely afraid to play. So I guess that's pretty well done within the time of a jam. Really good!
Fun take on a economy simulator!
Fun albeit frustrating entry. 300 deaths on my sleeve and gave up at the double fall down with the walls. Not much into rage games but people that do will probably love it =)
13:38. This game is pretty hilarious but also frustrating. I swear I heard my partner say "calm the ---- down" in the background a few times. Nice entry!
The art style is extremely cool! It doesn't seem to have too many assets which is okay because you do so much with quality art instead of quantity! I will say the controls felt a bit odd, the perspective being isotropic but using the directional keys. Aside from that I loved this entry!
I thought I was good at multi tasking until I played this game. Like it ;)
Quite cool! Maybe it would be too easy to go straight down but going so fast forward makes it a little wonky at times. Dope art and gameplay was very fun!
Cool art and fitting music. I liked the premise and I didn't find any bugs or glitches. I do wish there was something more to do than just swimming back and forth until you find the right fish. Like a buying system or something. Also, make sure to let people select the right keyboard.
Really cool! Music was nice, the gameplay is interesting as are the in-game feel effects (pressure backward from shooting for example). I only wish you could make money a bit faster.
Looks really cool! You should keep working on it! Beautiful voice by the way ;)
Simple graphics showing a lot of cool traits. I find it quite relaxing. The only criticism I have is that maybe being able to fall for longer at a time. That would make it feel more smooth which I think would add to the mood =)
Looks promising! With either random map generation or manually set up levels I would enjoy this even more! The art is really cool, and the character looks original =)
Fun game, nice to see family involved on this platform. What I wasn't sure about was the zombies attacking each other as well which makes you able to run around and survive that way. Cool game though =)
Games like these show that simple art can still be very effective. I spent a little more time on this game than I thought. Maybe the converter is a little to broken ;), maybe make it breakable. I see a lot of potential when it comes to upgrades, enemies and stuff like that. Liked it a lot! Defense.png
Really cool art. Game seems to work great. Also cracked a laugh at the day time phase animations and music. Title screen gives a good feel (And reminds me of freddi fish for some reason lol). Don't really have any criticism =).
Funny game. Looks good and the idea is well thought out. Only criticism I would have is that the driving part is kind of hard to control. In the five times that I tried I couldn't get past halfway to the hospital. Nice work though!Ambulance.png
Really fun game! Did come across a bug though where the gun would see everything in front of me as a miss absorbing me in green space, out of which you can't escape.
Cool game!
Cool game, kind of brings me back to the old flash games when I was young (but 3D instead of 2D, or think Boxhead).
I should add, there seemed to be a glitch where you can go through the wall if enough enemies push you? I could shoot the brick wall down so I could escape but I figured it'd be good to mention.
Really cool game. I like puzzle games like these. Only thing I was kind of missing was something to gradually make it harder, because eventually I could just keep going without getting stuck on any. Really cool music and game though, also addictive ;)
Fun game!
Think this is the game I've played most of so far (even think I reign surpreme as Popcorn King, ruler over all corn). Really like the overall concept, cute art and voice clips. Wonder how it must've been to make those noises in the mic without laughing.
Ooh ye.
Quite an interesting mechanic. While playing shooters you typically just reload whenever you can but in this game it can backfire. Art was cool! Only thing I kind of missed which would fit quite well in games like this is either a point system or something to work towards, but you can't have it all in Ludum Dare ;). Overall a fun and innovative game!
Edit: Ludum Dare site lagging on me, not sure how to remove the other two comments ><
Though it's not a bullet hell, it seems inspired by Touhou (which means I like it ;) ). Athmosphere is cool and kind of gives credit to claustrophobia. Simple but fun!
Seems polished for only a weekend. Liked playing the game, art is cool, controls work great and it's kind of addictive! ^^
Cool game, kind of addictive if you're just relaxing with a controller in your hand.
Pros: Cool idea, fits the theme, implemented well and impressive for the time given. Small details such as combining materials or the occasional artifact make the game more interesting.
Cons: Flashlight uses a bit too much fuel, no sound effects in game (I presume from a lack of time), upgrade costs might be a little off.
All in all, fun game!

Wow! Really impressed, quite polished, UI and sounds are indicative, unique looking and pretty addictive. I don't really have any feedback to work on, outside of adding things in general.
Looking forward to your next entry!

Sick visuals, theme as well. Inspirations are visible, but also the nice twist you gave it. I'll have to play it more in depth later to see the later parts of the game, but looks like a sick entry (let alone on your own with the time you had!).
Nine to Five Nightmare by RelicTooth 2025-04-13T13:19:26Z ♥ 2
At the end of my vacation...
Cute game! It gets quite difficult later one. Controls feel well put in place too!
A Game About Digging an Asteroid by toreskovic 2025-04-13T13:11:41Z ♥ 2
Really cool, especially given the time frame given. Finding new materials is a nice dopamine rush. The tax doubling and stuff stressed me out though. I get the purpose of the mechanic, a reward on paying something every interval would be nice though.
Art is cool, music too, really good entry!
DepthBorne by I_POTS 2025-04-13T12:56:48Z ♥ 1
Cool graphics, especially how the halls are seemingly, seamlessly connecting. The controls weirded me out a bit but the idea of it makes sense considering the goal was killing the creature above you. It's an interesting concept for a roguelite of some kind, focusing on multiple things, separately, at the same time.
Where I belong by un_kirik 2025-04-13T12:42:46Z ♥ 4
Cute, especially the intro/middle cut scene. Nice entry :).
Depths of Darvaza 2 by ghost-in-the-toast 2025-04-13T12:37:36Z ♥ 1
This was a really cool, polished platformer! Especially for the duration. The mood is really portrayed well with the voice, music and quick gameplay. I think I found all the pets :).
I could not, however, find the last card key. I went back to other levels but wasn't able to get it.
Payback Pit by Alem26 2025-04-13T12:15:18Z ♥ 1
Lot of different things added within the timeframe. Especially making everything within the team. It's a bit confusing to start with in terms of all the information, especially the lists of controls and ores. Cool entry, well done!
Leap of Faith by Kyrios 2025-04-13T12:05:26Z ♥ 2

Fun game, my Osu skills finally paid off. The dodging is cool and the falling is both skilled and quick, esp when holding rmb. Nice background visuals, audio tracks are bangin'!
Focus! by grid96 2025-04-13T11:52:57Z ♥ 1
This is a really cute game with an interesting and clever interpretation of the theme! I like the use of different layers, I think you could make a broader game out of it! I miss click/adventure games :').
Sound Of Ignorance by xorfe 2025-04-13T11:46:02Z ♥ 2
Quite creepy, the visuals, especially the way everything moves, is unique and settles the mood very well. A bit confused on the purpose and directions in what to do, which kind of comes with this type of mysterious game. Interesting entry and nice job! :)
Duplo by CrozzY 2025-04-13T11:39:28Z ♥ 2
Cool art, nice concept and use of materials. I agree on the intuition issues when playing it, such as the controls and directions whilst playing. But that's stuff the dare usually leaves little time for.
Nice entry!
Cat in the dark by MadelineF 2025-04-13T11:33:49Z ♥ 2
I won't add to the comments already made about the performance on the html build. Cute visuals, gives a nice mood alongside the music. The rope mechanics are something that work quite well in these platformers, good job on utilizing it so nicely!
Echo Depths by Slyz 2025-04-13T11:28:01Z ♥ 2
Finished the game! Really interesting concept/idea for a platformer. Something you could very well elaborate on. It's difficult to make platformers like these not rage-inducing, I think you did a pretty good job in keeping it fun rather than frustrating!
Hooky Fish by DurkaGames 2025-04-11T12:35:42Z ♥ 1
Cute game, nice art! Reminds me of the school days where flash games were prominent. Fun to play!
Ruinous Depths by AStrayRae 2025-04-09T21:11:13Z ♥ 2
So, I never considered this type of autobattler RPG/dungeon type of game. It's quite cool, and the powerups matter and add onto the game. The art is cute and I'd probably play a more fleshed out version of the game. I'd argue there is a reward system missing for the player, which tends to be a thing (for me) in these types of passive games. I did really enjoy it though!
On a side note, it's now day 347, and I fear my guild members will never come back. They've delved into the dungeon, through magic I know they're still alive, but the link I have with them is fading. Eyes set on numbers of gold not yet seen within out understanding of math before. They are no longer fighting those inside of the dungeon, "sneaking" past their enemy as a sign of sheer disrespect. We thought invulnerability was an infinite, yet they reach across the barrier beyond.Dungoen.PNG
Home Deep Home by YogurtTheHorse 2025-04-09T20:39:47Z ♥ 2
The mood in this game is great. It's lacking a bit of guidance, but the basis of a cool management system is definitely there. It's very cute and has a mysterious vibe to it, which kept me hooked for a bit :).
Scavenger Deep by hope42morrow 2025-04-09T20:31:49Z ♥ 1
Sick art, and the vibe is really nice. This game could be something even cooler with a fleshed out storyline (as the setting is unique) and some more gameplay aspects that keep it fresh. Awesome entry!!
Fire Exit by ThorPalsson 2025-04-09T14:37:06Z ♥ 3
Got something of an SCP vibe, the start and ending are quite different in terms of how much you're into the game. Cool horror entry :).
Depth of Moments by Lev Ramburg 2025-04-09T14:16:55Z ♥ 3
The aesthetic and creative department of this game is solid and consistent. :)
The Magical Abyss by AxolotlUwU 2025-04-09T12:36:11Z ♥ 0
Great pixelart! The dungeon is thematic, offsets color with the main player nicely as well. Only feedback I'd give for the timeframe is some more telegraphing, such as sounds/animations when hit or using items.
