Really like the mechanic but on my screen found it hard to play due to the UI scale.

I also managed to get a crash by dragging a dice over to the "Processing" area but i could reproduce it.
Music and sound effects where really good and this game would be really good with a but more time put into the graphics etc... Nice game.
I have a resolution of 3840 x 2400 so maybe that it.
Saw this game on youtube review and thought it looked really good. Great idea with the pipes would really like to know how you developed it.
Music is nice and calming as well.
Nice work.
This is a really nice game, I know you made the controls simple but some of the levels where pretty tricky. Nice game.
Really nice game, very addictive and responsive even running on webgl build.
This is a great dungeon crawler, really gave me doom type vibes with the added ability to go deeper into the dungeon. I really liked the audio in this game great sound effects and pixel retro style.
This game is really beautiful, its what my game was meant to be apart from being 2d with a lot better graphics and music. Really well done on this...I am not jealous at all :)
This is a good card game, like how you can build the deck you can really get some good stacks going. Card flipping and stacking animations work well apart from stack can cover up the right 2 resource cards.
Nice little puzzle game, with some sound and a few more puzzle boxes this would be pretty cool. Great models as well. Nice.
This is a good game but found it really hard, 1 thing i noticed was that the enemies "knockback" should be a little less maybe (perhaps that makes it harder). Over all this is a great take on a tower defense game and the theme of dante's inferno is really interesting, animations where really good as well.
This was a little out there, i really wasnt sure what i was meant to do so just randomly dragged books onto the different characters. Music, graphics seem to be well polished and i just wanted to rate the close "unfinished" projects as i have one myself.
I really dont know how you created this physics sim in the time you got. I am really going to have to look at the source code to see how this works. Great work.
I also agree with previous points i did find the window a little small.
Nice game, wasnt any score but i liked the controls and the graphics where cute.
Really liked the fishing theme, only suggestion i would make would be if the fisherman changed his angle when casting out the line. Otherwise this is a really nice fishing game. Some calm music would really go well with this.
Great game, controls get very hard when pitching and rolling. Quite similar to my game I made but yours is much better. Please check it out if you have time.
This is a really fun and funny game really fits the them well. This is the first "drop" game I have played in LudumDare. Nice Job.
This was a nice game. It seemed a little dark at points which made navigating around the map hard but it was really an enjoyable game.
This is a nice little game, I did find it a little strange that firing caused my character to move backwards but other then that I really like the game. Really well done.
I really like this game but not sure it really fits the theme.
The character seems to slide around instead of moving, also the blocking obstacles are a little tough to distinguish with the normal map. These are only small grips though from a very well done good dungeon crawler.
Really cool game here, graphics are excellent as well as sound etc.. This is very well executed...Nice.
I never read game descriptions in itch io or ludum dare and found it hard to know what to do at the start so some controls right away would have been good.
Pressing R would have been nicer to show your character holding a torch.
Looks you didnt have time to add sound, some nice explosions, footsteps and moody music would have added a lot to the game.
When I was climbing down the rope I managed to get my character stuck in the floor once.
Also some more tile transitions were the blue to black tiles would have been good.
Overall with a little more polish this game would have been good. Nice effort.
Really liked the game, the controls where tough to master but once I did it was good. Really liked the music and the fact that you can see your previous attempts. Nice work.
This game is very fun and addictive, I could easily play this game for hours to see how deep i can get. I also really like the shop aspect so that your score help you in the next run. I dont even understand how you randomly generate the cave and destroy parts with missiles and collisions (going to be learning from you source code). Well Done.
This is a really nice puzzle game, i think there should be some sort of score for finding the puzzle with the least clicks. I really liked the nice music and sound effects, story was also pretty funny. Nice game.
Good game here, a little difficult to control and a struggled to bet the first boss.
This is pretty amazing given the time taken although i did find a few issues right from the start. I was able to leave 2 of my party members behind and go to the next area with my night. Enemies seem to stack on top of each other. You had to unselect your character to select another character. Even still I would still play this game and would definitely be interested if you further develop this...nice work.
Thanks for the feed back, I spent far too long trying to get the basic controls working using the new input system that i wanted to learn. But yes i agree the controls could be a lot better and yes the models where what i could do in about 3 hours and I am no artist :)
Lol, @nick-rafalski @lone-wolf Thanks for the great comments, there are still a couple of issues with the movement as I wrote the controller from scratch which i really should have done a lot quicker. I was aiming for weird dark horror ish vibe when you get closer to the bottom but this does give me some encouragement to maybe put some more time into this to get it into a more polished concept. Thanks
@andrew-hoyer Yeah i found that there are a number of control issues, i made the controller from scratch and even though i spent loads of time on this it still needs a lot of work.
Thanks for the comments though.
@robotex Yeah i didnt finish the game, it was meant to be where you could view the fish using the "c" key and then take a picture of them using "v". You would then get a score on your picture which would convert into points you could use to upgrade your sub. Unfortunaty the controller took too long to code and the 3d models also took too long to draw but really had a good time trying :)
Thanks for the kind words @lex
@viperux Some really great advice, i didnt realise you where aloud to effectively start before the actual compo (download resource etc) hence i didnt start pre creating assets code i just did everything within that weekend. I did do some initial notes on ideas on what kind of game i would try to make if that theme got picked. I thing sound is a big one and i think your right even a little would have helped in my case, but any thank you very much for the great advice. I will try and apply this if I do one next time.
@eboatwright hmmm, maybe try in a different browser perhaps Chrome.
@eboatwright thanks for trying, not sure what else to try as other people have managed to play it.
This is a really interesting platformer/tower defense game. I wasnt quite sure what use the cat was from level 2 onwards and also some controls at the beginning of the game would have been cool.
Obviously your missing sound and apart from that your going to hell the game didnt convey the "Deeper and Deeper" theme to me that much.
I liked the funny story as well, so all in all goo effort.
Really like the game controls are tricky to master but soon got the hang of it. A few more enemy types would have been nice but the graphics a really good and the theme fit well. Nice.
This is a nice game, first PICO9 game I have ever played and I enjoyed. Really wouldn't know where to start on how to develop this so well done. Please rate my game if you find the time =)
Really good take on a snake game and who doesnt love a snake game. Really well implemented with some good music.
Lol, i had to click on this game just from the title screen alone. Found it very funny, it was a little weird that that ant can walk up into the sky with out being on the poop.
I like the sound in the game and found that you totally took the theme and went in a direction that was totally new and original.
Nice game, was difficult to click on the icons in the main menu maybe make them into buttons or highlight in some way.
Also maybe have a maximum range for when you click a fish and add maybe a catch animation. Otherwise agree with other comments that this is a nice little game with a little polish would be really good.
Nice game but on my system playing the web game the scale of the screen was really huge so i couldnt see most of the screen.
I liked the music though and the game play so well done for a good implementation of a lane changing game.
I love the deep space theme but this game is very hard, first few goes i found myself floating in deep space without any indication of where to go. The minimap and the navigation aid helps but the thrust of the ship seems a little ineffective. With some strange sci fi music, sounds and some cool graphics this game could be really good.
Really like the game, similar to my concept but better implemented in 2d. Like the audio as well and the lighting effects are great, really nice work.
Initially i didnt know what the keys where as i tend not to read the game descriptions before playing or what i was meant to be doing but after a bit a managed to figure it out. With some more work (animation / sound / control scheme) this would be a good little digger game. Nice work.
Great game, I really like strategy games and with a few more enemies and actions this would be a great strategy game that I would definitely play this game more.
Is is a fun little card/ tile game. Didnt find much that seemed to hurt me, maybe i got a good run but the graphics and gameplay are good.
What might be interesting would be to display some sort of strength value for enemies to maybe give you more of an indication if you should fight it or not.
Awesome game, didnt realise i could move with A and D until i almost died but really love the art style, controls and mechanics. Nice job.
This is a really nice game, with a little tiny bit more polish it would be great. The thing seems missing are the controls as had to figure those out and some background music. Great work though given the time.
Trying to find similar games to mine and this one is really good. Again you did a way better job of implementing the scoring and taking pictures and the sound as well fits really well. Nice job.
I like this game as this was the first rhythm game that i have played in the compo and its a really good take on the theme. With a few more branches and different rhythm combos would be a good game.
Well done getting something done, music is pretty good and graphics look good but probably need a few more animation frames. Note sure how it was going to meet the theme "Deeper and Deeper" but with a bit of polish this would be a good platformer.
I found the controls a bit "floaty" and the strange fire image didnt seem to fit as being a viking. I think a little more polish this could have been a good game. Nice work.
Got to say this is a really fun puzzle game, found myself playing for some time. Took me a hot minute to figure out i could hold the mouse key to fire my ball further but after that i found it very playable and with a bit more time on this i would even buy it from steam. So well done with that, surprised to see such a complete game done in the time allowed.
This is a nice little side scroller although as first i wasnt sure what my objective was. Also I found the game a little easy, a few different enemies and waves would have been good. With a little more polish this would be a good game.
Lol, this is very funny. Never thought of the theme as this bit it "fits" well :). Great sound and this wins the humour round hands down.
This is a really nice game very impressive graphics and sounds. Great work.
