LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Le Ver by GamerTaters 2014-04-29T19:29:00

Interesting narrative and awesome music! On the gameplay side it was mildly fun to play, I would have liked the illuminate to last a bit longer, it was a bit frustrating that I couldn't see where more than half the time(which might be intended?) and found it difficult to discern which parts of my surroundings I could go through which caused some unfavorable backtracking. Overall I really felt like a worm, good job!

Very original, almost bizarre. I enjoyed it!

Oh My Oilrig! by manabreak 2014-04-28T02:56:00

Pretty fun game! If you update this I'd like to see more enemy and turret variety, gaining resources for destroying a boat, upgrades, maps etc. Otherwise a solid game in under 48 hours!

Let the Tree Live by lullul 2014-04-29T19:12:00

I could not get the game to start at all. Similarly to the above comment I am using 64 bit windows 7.

Beneath the Covers by Ismei 2014-04-29T19:10:00

love the idea of going under each cover to discover something new. Although there was not much gameplay.

Dead men tell no tales by aaronjbaptiste 2014-04-29T19:38:00

Surprisingly really fun! However it starts to lag a lot once you place too many pirates.

The Tree by Joritan Cety 2014-04-28T02:46:00

Pretty cool game ! A few main problems I have with gameplay though. The enemy bullets are near invisible, the charge and sprint buttons are awkwardly placed on the keyboard, Its not very noticeable if the enemy takes damage the and the charge attack recharges so slow with the amount of enemies there are at later levels.

Very relaxing entry. I was drawn into the world by the nice music and sound affects. Although I was not sure what do to at first once i went to the first lantern it was clear. The controls of the boat and camera could be improved.

Maze Sweeper by Turkey 2014-05-03T17:25:00

Interesting concept! I like mazes =)

The Gamer by Rother Games 2014-04-29T18:51:00

I like the concept of gamer vision but the controls and movement were a bit awkward and I was not sure what to do at first being overwhelmed with options, but I did make some progress even though I could not figure out how to use the computers which ended my experience.

HotWater by madalaski 2014-04-29T19:54:00

I like the in-game shop(nick cage hehe). The music is also strangely fitting(Yellow submarine), gameplay needed a bit more direction, not sure how to complete the game and the shooting could use some improvement. Keep up the good work!

Pleasantly challenging platformer.

Rise to Surface by jtrencsenyi 2014-05-03T16:44:00

Surprisingly fun! The menus and sprites are nice, could use some variation to the obstacles.

Lost Cat by dddaaannn 2014-05-03T12:33:00

Very interesting use of cats! I approve!

Beneath The Code by Daylon 2014-04-29T19:40:00

Interesting idea. Some of the options can make it go a bit crazy, i ended up falling out of the world.

I also get an error when trying to launch something about "could not open boot_1.bmp"

(HTML5) Under YOUR Skin by luisfelipeart 2014-05-04T09:51:00

Awesome graphics, it could use with some gameplay tweaks, Fritzendugan's above comment pretty much nailed it on the head. Overall a good submission!

Roverboard by cottontrek 2014-05-03T12:29:00

You nailed the atmosphere! The art and sound effects remind me a lot like the game Sword & Sworcery. I'm looking forward to trying a full version.

SurfaceDare by Skabunkel 2014-05-03T16:38:00

A start of something! Good job with the animations, controls need working on. I had fun !

cell.erity by Maxom 2014-05-03T13:53:00

Nice graphics that suits the theme! Although short, I had fun.

Beneath by Stepperz 2014-04-29T19:05:00

Enjoyed this! nicely done path-finding and gear progression. I didn't find the turn based element have affect any of my player choices as i just went around clicking monsters. Maybe some more enemies could fix this.

Hi It's Julian by baboum 2014-05-04T09:44:00

What an interestingly bizarre game! I'd definitely play a full version!

I Hope Drill Sempai Notices Me by Pirat 2014-05-03T17:11:00

Hilarious game, planets + dating sim + space = this game.
The animations just make this concept even funnier. Gameplay wise the short dialogue and duplicated choices made it quite repetitive after a while. I would of enjoyed staying on each planet longer, maybe add sub-objectives for each planet and personality variations. Overall good effort given the time frame!

Beneath The Surface by Kaoin 2014-04-28T18:55:00

Hey all thanks for playing! I have added new links to hopefully fix the crash! The camera is pretty hyperactive it does have smoothing but the variable was just set too high :)

Beneath The Surface by Kaoin 2014-05-03T13:30:00

Thanks for the comments! I decided to add those messages inside 10 mins before submitting after noticing there was a humor criteria, I knew some things were broken but I wanted to submit it anyway and get a few laughs. ^_^
Glad you all enjoyed the (albeit short) experience.
I will continue developing my game to better present the game mechanics!

Check my micro: the game by kAlekki 2014-05-03T17:28:00

Nice game for such a small amount of time! The controls need a bit of work.

Super Marathoner Pro by Rex Peppers 2014-04-29T18:42:00

Good attempt, not sure how it relates to the theme though.
