Drilling With Dice by KunoNoOni 2021-04-28T11:45:44Z

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.

Drilling With Dice by KunoNoOni 2021-04-28T19:15:45Z

I have a resolution of 3840 x 2400 so maybe that it.

Alcheminer by Joror 2021-04-28T19:23:53Z

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.

Deep Blue by Imphenzia 2021-05-10T13:51:38Z

This is an awesome game, one of the best visually for 3d anyway. I found it a little tough to time my strokes but it was really well executed with a good challenge. Nice..

Doug: A Miner Drilling Incident by aaants 2021-04-29T12:31:11Z

This is a really nice game, I know you made the controls simple but some of the levels where pretty tricky. Nice game.

Just Down Jack by joewan 2021-04-26T09:23:35Z

Really nice game, very addictive and responsive even running on webgl build.

Slimes and Sandwiches by Nick Rafalski 2021-04-27T09:06:46Z

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.

Fish'o'gram by Amolker 2021-05-05T20:13:34Z

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 :)

Mine Cards by Rose 2021-04-27T10:47:51Z

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.

Puzzles All the Way Down by Triastase 2021-05-11T08:13:48Z

Nice little puzzle game, with some sound and a few more puzzle boxes this would be pretty cool. Great models as well. Nice.

Dante's Harvest by Wakobu 2021-04-29T11:27:05Z

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.

BREAKIN! by Homlet 2021-04-28T11:25:53Z

I really like this take on pong mixed with break out upside down, with a bit more juice this would be a good playable game.

DEEPER LEARNING by ekkiiiii 2021-05-10T14:22:55Z

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.

Under Pressure by OadT 2021-04-28T12:16:21Z

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.

Mole Hole by ArBe 2021-05-14T10:08:28Z

Really weird game but really well executed. Looks like you really spent time on all the aspects of the game so well done.

Scuba Diver by _benhumphries 2021-04-26T13:10:54Z

Nice game, wasnt any score but i liked the controls and the graphics where cute.

What's in the Bottom? by Lex 2021-05-09T20:20:21Z

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.

Ocean Cleanup by Weirdybeardyman 2021-04-26T13:06:08Z

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.

Hell Diver by MacDoom 2021-05-12T07:46:50Z

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.

Deeper Into The Mind by michaelyount 2021-05-09T09:15:39Z

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.

Light 'em Up by Deseteral 2021-05-09T09:30:38Z

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.

Billy's Gone Again by KingOfNova 2021-05-09T09:23:39Z

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.

Research and Rescue by Kaleido 2021-05-09T20:14:15Z

Really cool game here, graphics are excellent as well as sound etc.. This is very well executed...Nice.

The Sounds of the Cavern by LoicLeGrosFrere 2021-05-14T10:20:11Z

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.

Deep Sea by enderswype 2021-04-28T20:16:45Z

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.

Into The Depths by Nisovin 2021-04-27T09:23:06Z

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.

Jamie's Jam by soundgnome 2021-05-11T08:03:30Z

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.

Backwards Quest by Lone_Wolf 2021-04-26T13:20:15Z

Good game here, a little difficult to control and a struggled to bet the first boss.

Throneless by AdamCYounis 2021-04-30T08:51:09Z

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.

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-04-26T13:28:18Z

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 :)

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-04-27T08:49:40Z

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

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-04-28T20:58:07Z

@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.

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-05-05T08:47:47Z

@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 :)

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-05-10T08:59:26Z

Thanks for the kind words @lex

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-05-12T22:08:52Z

@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.

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-05-15T12:03:57Z

@eboatwright hmmm, maybe try in a different browser perhaps Chrome.

Submersive by deadmanjw 2021-05-16T13:48:10Z

@eboatwright thanks for trying, not sure what else to try as other people have managed to play it.

Archeo by zimny11 2021-04-27T09:32:40Z

This is a good clicking game, didnt actually realize i could dig at the same time as cleaning of an archeological find. The only grip i had was the music, i found it quite jarring and would have liked to have scored more in that area.

Selkö by Doot 2021-05-09T09:12:54Z

This was a great little puzzle click game, very atmospheric and I really liked it. Very well executed.

Halt by Teto 2021-05-14T12:54:14Z

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.

Abyss Diver by Vaanrile 2021-04-29T11:46:20Z

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.

DEEPER by eboatwright 2021-05-12T08:54:56Z

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 =)

Snake in a Cave by Andrew Hoyer 2021-04-28T20:00:22Z

Really good take on a snake game and who doesnt love a snake game. Really well implemented with some good music.

Where is Bob by ubershmekel 2021-04-28T11:50:37Z

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.

Sinking Sub by DaSpikeyBoss 2021-04-29T12:02:20Z

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.

Deep Fall by fire_soldier888 2021-04-28T16:42:06Z

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.

The Deepest Space by Robotex 2021-05-05T08:54:00Z

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.

Pokefish : Gotta flash em' all ! by Legolula 2021-04-28T21:28:55Z

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.

Almost A Digging Game by Fist Full of Shrimp 2021-04-30T08:18:17Z

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.

Deep in the Graveyard by AndyKSWong 2021-04-28T11:23:41Z

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.

Journey to Atlantis by Kotzi 2021-04-29T11:19:59Z

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.

Drill Sergeant by GoldOne 2021-04-26T13:16:34Z

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.

Into The Depth by Szymon OGD 2021-04-30T08:24:55Z

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.

Ocean Snap by TheJookerful 2021-05-05T20:17:57Z

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.

Dig Deep Get Gold by Tim77 2021-04-28T11:34:11Z

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.

HellEvator by yodaxy 2021-05-11T07:49:19Z

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.

Made in Madness by AtosGame 2021-05-09T09:45:58Z

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.

Blue Square and the Mystery Cave by asdehielo 2021-04-28T11:58:24Z

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.

Deep Space by DrYuri 2021-05-09T09:52:19Z

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.

SPERMA by the neon shark 2021-05-09T09:39:30Z

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.

Cyber Monsters by liero116 2021-05-11T07:52:58Z

This is a really nice game very impressive graphics and sounds. Great work.
