I struggled greatly! Love the art and the physics are really well done. Overall this game is super well put together, seriously impressive.
Here's my first strategy from before I knew what was going on which did not work at all abyssfailure.JPG
Annnd here's the winner Abysstower.JPG
Loved this game! I played this on stream for an hour and 37 minutes in one sitting. With some tweaks to the camera I feel like this could be a super satisfying experience. I love games where you fly and I love games where you go fast, so here I am giving all 5's to a game where you fly and go fast. It really is that simple. This game is ripe for expansion and I'll definitely be back for this one with a controller. Rename it to "Evil Cometh"! Thanks so much for submitting, perfect streaming game

Cool game, very relaxing. Love the music and the colors are very very nice on the eyes. Started my stream in a good mood because of this one, thanks for submitting!
https://www.youtube.com/live/kSaTrhFTAjQ?si=MoqNLGKuRCnk8tSM&t=147
This is a really cool game ripe for expansion. The gameplay is deceptively simple while also presenting a serious challenge and making you consider every move you're going to make before you set your glowing ball in motion. I don't normally like puzzle games but this one is for sure a hit. The graphics are nice on the eyes and the voice acting is hilarious, even if that might not have been the intention. I didn't beat it on stream since I was already nearing the end but this still held me up for around 35 minutes. Making something addictive, fun, minimal, puzzling and difficult all at once is a tall order but this game knocks it out of the park. I'll be returning to this I'm sure. Seriously awesome submission

I started this game in a bad mood so my comments towards the beginning are fairly negative, but if you look ahead in the VOD you'll see I played this game for an hour and 46 minutes, which is easily longer than I've played any game in one sitting this jam. I wasn't able to beat it but the freeform digging ignites my sense of exploration like no other game has this jam. PLEASE keep working on this and add more structures to be found, more materials to dig through and collect, and more tools to dig with in the future. This game has me more excited about the possibility of expansion than 90% of games I've played thus far, there is some serious serious potential here and I was glued to the game for every second. I've played a lot of games where you dig in a cave. None of them are as cool as this one. Fantastic work. Change the name though lol

This game was played at the very beginning of the 4/20 stream so I wasn't very good at it and there was a bit of technical difficulty towards the beginning (on my stream, not your game) but I played it for an hour total so enjoy my floundering lmao, things pick up once a German appears at around 30 minutes into the stream so if you want to start at that part I don't blame you. Overall I ended up having fun despite my grumbling towards the beginning but you should add a cooldown to the attack because I found out you can spam it once I got to the boss. Rest assured I didn't spam it at all before that though, so you can see my fumbling about in all its glory
https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=4pQpoNqMIz98aLw3&t=1185
Love the color palette! The game is simple yet very effective, love that your movement is upgraded as you progress through the game. Everything works flawlessly and I was able to beat the game so it of course gets points for that. Overall I had a good time with this one!
https://www.youtube.com/live/IBbnvXqYD3A?si=XAaGgQXk9nYSmR1o&t=1957
Love how this game looks and plays! I have a soft spot for Doom style games and the sparse ammo makes for tension despite the miner zombies not being overly threatening so far as appearance goes. That said, I still found myself jumping out of my skin on several occasions when I would find them just around a corner where I wasn't expecting them to be. Very well put together in general, but for a COMPO GAME, this is a truly impressive feat. Awesome game, great work, I had a lot of fun playing.
https://www.youtube.com/live/w-YTJVj3rns?si=L6dcmNvNKEi4UQyZ&t=7948
I could not beat it but I had a good time, I like that the tie in with depth was literally just the exposition at the beginning, I say count it! Had fun rolling around dodging the big guys huge sword swings, which look as impactful visually as they are damaging to my poor player's hp. For the life of me I couldn't heal on purpose but I did manage to do it accidentally a couple of times, parrying proved to be quite difficult or at least I couldn't seem to get the timing right. Overall I liked it even if the theme is only there in spirit lol
https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=rovzazszjm1ez9mW&t=6741
This game is fantastic! Love games where you can float around freely and that's what this one is all about. Counting up all the streams I've played it on I have played this game for a grand total of 1 hour and 13 minutes. It's fun flying the ship around and bonking the pussy-faced squids. Looking out at all the floating rocks is quite mesmerizing, this is one of the most visually appealing games I've played on stream this jam and I can say with confidence it ignites my sense of exploration like nearly none of these jam games have. I consider this a very FERTILE game, as I see so many ways this can be taken moving forward that it gets me excited to revisit this with each new update. So far each patch has improved the game tenfold, great work overall

Far too much time was spent on a jump that I'm still not convinced is possible at all. I am not good at video games and this is a hard ass game. Very few games this jam have made me rage like this one did. Here is an hour and 40 minutes of me playing it

I got the highscore for this build of the game but someone in these comments got like 62k so I assume the leaderboard resets every time you guys update, either way I'm considering myself the king of this game. We played in on stream and had a great time with it. Love the way it looks and plays, overall very impressive
https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=JkX0at8lUHAVA5Vm&t=12758
Love the art style! We had fun with this one, very charming game. Wish it was longer but of course I understand running out of time, I have each and every jam I've participated in lol. What's here is quite enjoyable, I enjoyed the gluttony level
https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=iZCrU6NtPPoWDDlU&t=12228
Played your game on the 4/20 stream! Was a coughing mess through a good bit of it for no particular reason but we had a good time! Overall it's quite well put together and I loved the smoking elf as well as the big fleshy goop monster
https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=3yhOsE9T2i2kPozB&t=10106
This game is hilarious. It's borderline a prank. The mountain is so fucking huge that past a certain point I couldn't bring myself to speed up, but I simply had to see the end. Thus, here's a 40 minute video of us playing your game. It would have been irresponsible to go any faster.
https://www.youtube.com/live/wu_09x7tuLk?si=s-xWJBEJhjDnLeS-&t=7147
Cool game! Great music and theme use, I wish the camera followed the player but aside from that I had a lot of fun here, it was certainly perfect for the 4/20 stream. It seemed like some obstacles were totally unavoidable but maybe I'm just terrible! I did manage to get an S though so that makes up for all my floundering. It's a lot of fun hearing the pseudo-randomly cobbled together psychedelic realizations after each fatal faceplant. Thanks for stopping by the stream!

I haven't played a lot of games this jam where the humor has appealed to me, but this one I found quite funny. Love the premise. The gameplay adds to the absurdity of what's going on and can yield some very unique sentences. My favorite that I got was "I reach for the depths here in darkness can I express my truth, Those normies there in the reefs wouldn't understand me like you do." because it's slam poetry and if I had just remembered to packet my sperm before talking to the damn squid she would have fallen head over high heels for my little incel protag and I could have totally gotten poor Gordo the underwater pussy he deserves. I liked this one a lot
Lots of cool elements, love the vibe and it was fun seeing all the different enemies you could summon. The card selection obviously leaves something to be desired but I know you know that, and I'd rather focus on how everything works perfectly and runs smoothly. You've got a really nice base for a game here and I'm excited to see where you take it moving forward.
I was manhandled by the Avatar of the Neverender
Cool idea, never would've thought to use Ludum Dare like a writing prompt. It's well written and there are actually seemingly quite a few branching paths, I found 3 endings myself. I like the one where I block the hole in my spaceship with my body
https://www.youtube.com/live/SCbuh9WZHdA?si=s_HeEIrm8JmC9QWC&t=8520
This is my favorite game of the entire jam thus far. Bar none. Such a fun concept and the fact that your movement becomes quicker as you play the game is perfect for my attention span, not that I was getting bored by any means. The idea of draining a lake is not only a super fun interpretation of the theme, but also a goal that I immediately felt compelled to chase. That drive was aided by the graphics which are super nice on the eyes and smooth, lag-free, satisfying movement. I love the machines and their many moving doodads, and it's incredible how well this game runs given just how many doodads are moving around. As was pointed out to me this is because of there being no shadows, which just led me to wonder why on earth this style isn't more common. The music is really nice and it's overall just a super relaxing experience that feels 100% complete. Nothing but praise for this. I had 43 games to get through on stream and I still spent 50 minutes playing this game all the way to completion. Fantastic work
Cool game. It's a weird compliment but I love that the shooting happens automatically. I didn't use block or dash a single time but I had fun lol, any game where you can strike rats with lightning is a winner in my book. It's simple but effective
Really impressive compo! I was going strong until I became stuck in an endless loop of multiple-personality disorder induced depression where my last man standing with one power left could only stand cowering, and that's not a compliment I can give to very many games! Had fun with this one.
https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=7Kf6o8QO1nmFZjYl&t=10909
Fun game. Seemingly simple concept but as you go the situation unfolding in front of you becomes more and more convoluted and hilarious. The music is absolutely perfect, and the graphics remind me of an old flash game which is an aesthetic I love.
https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=2-l0M6LM6fTFPPWV&t=6078
This one is a lot of fun. The gameplay is both self explanatory and super addictive and the announcers are a super creative touch. Love how the music stops when my character breaks every bone in his body, really makes you FEEL the impact. That said the music is incredible, and overall this is one of my favorites from this jam.
https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=ojKW5qkJOBqv9pnY&t=3790
Super original gameplay and likeable sprites, found myself really trying my best here and still falling short lol, this game is quite difficult or at least it was to me. That said I had a lot of fun trying to get further down. Jumps removing a layer from the floor is a really interesting mechanic and bowling over the crabs with boulders is very satisfying. I only got the iron boots one time but it really opened up some interesting maneuvers and I felt truly powerful. Really fun game

https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=xMCtwtiCc9dnAyFc&t=3028
Cool game! I'm not very good at it but I had a good time. Everything works well and I wasn't confused at any point, which is more than I can say for most strategy games lol. The sprites are charming and everything plays smoothly, overall really impressive compo!
https://www.youtube.com/live/UsbxyfIYWuc?si=dmOP1shQEJfRwnzU&t=1332
Lots of fun! Really liked this one. The minecart not only looks cool, but also adds my favorite section to the beat. The music is great and doesn't get old one bit, and the gameplay is simple and fun while running surprisingly well for how much is going on on screen. I accidentally purchased lights I'd already bought a few times which shouldn't probably be able to happen along with getting stuck in the wall when buying things but I'm sure you already know about those issues and none of them took away from the experience one bit. Overall I had a great time
Are you ok?
This game is really good, I always love the grainy 3d style! Although I really like the way the graphics look I will say that youtube playback glitches and distorts when static is on screen (See: any FNAF video just after they die), it's been a problem for years that they've never fixed and your game seemingly has the same effect. SO if you want videos to be made of your game adding color or maybe even increasing the pixel size would probably fix the issue, if that isn't a priority to you though just leave it as-is, like I said I do like how it looks now. The gameplay is very stress inducing and I wasn't able to get very far at all, but this is easily my favorite interpretation of a submarine game I've seen thus far - which is saying a lot, there are countless submarine games this time around lol. Overall it's very polished and considering your game last jam I'm consistently impressed with what you guys are able to pull off in 72 short hours. Good shit
Sub-2 minutes is as good as it's gonna get lol, I'm generally not great at video games so I'm pretty proud of that. Took me far too long to realize the up arrow wasn't doing anything at all, but when I stopped pressing it I got way worse at the game so I've still been pressing it. I didn't give this one enough praise on stream since I was nearing the end and didn't want to get roped into chasing a high score for an hour but rest assured I did that anyway once there wasn't a live audience of people watching me like a caged zoo animal as I floundered around your game (somewhat literally.) The music is really good, love how it changes and gets more intense as you get higher and higher up. The movement is creative, smooth, and glitch-free with gameplay that's both self explanatory and super addictive. Overall great work and please never change your intro! hadalhighscore.JPG
I dont know how I've played as many submarine games as I have without happening upon one that uses sonar, this is a super fun interpretation of the theme. The version I played was unstable but I still can for sure appreciate the echolocation mechanic, the music is fantastic and I pretty much unconditionally love the inclusion of voice lines in ld games. Really cool experience
The art style is incredibly charming and it's very satisfying drilling through the blocks, so much so that it's very unsatisfying when one is left just out of reach lol. Feels like when you peel a sticker off of something and a few white chunks are left over. This is the only game I've played thus far that let me flush myself down a toilet, great work!
Surreal game! The outside part with the horses is seriously beautiful but just overall everything looks really really nice. I spent far too long walking down the SCP style endless hallway as well as trying to reach the blurry rainbow outside, but I did eventually realize I wasnt making any progress lmao. Really cool experience overall
Really nice art style! The background of the title screen is super cool, almost hypnotizing. The sound it makes when you move gets a bit repetitive but that's a nitpick, overall really cool game.
This game is incredible! The physics work flawlessly and the movement is seriously fun to try and get the hang of. I love the way it looks too, made me think of Kirby's Dream Course with how the perspective is played. The uncanny vibe the music brings is just the cherry on top. The entire aesthetic of this is intoxicating and I absolutely love this interpretation of the theme.
This game is really well put together, I phased through some walls but it didn't take me out of the game one bit. I found myself just pretending the walls worked anyway to play how it was meant to be played, more than partially out of respect for the huge worm colon I was approaching rapidly and how cool it looked. Everything in this game looks great, love our crab protagonist and the name krabby asscape is a winner for sure. Really great work!
Interesting idea! There's something to be said for the fact that I've played a bunch of submarine games already this jam and none of them have played like this one. The art is charming and the gameplay is chill and stress-free.
Just more proof I suck at video games
This game is overall very nice on the eyes. Everything works perfect. The shooting looks cool and the movement is super fluid. Impressive compo
I didn't have a controller handy and I wasn't any good at it at all, but this is a fun game! The gameplay mechanics are unique while being simple enough that I feel dumb for being bad at it, which of course leads to me restarting it countless times. It's minimal but effective with what it presents. Great work!
Cool game! The gameplay is unique, the camera navigation is smooth and the little miner bugs are super charming. I can't say I enjoyed every squeal these little fucks make, the one that plays when you direct them could certainly wear on a weaker soul, but the scream when they get crushed to bits by falling rubble is quite satisfying!
Didnt run but I rated it 5 stars anyway because the name reminds me of my name and I'm trying to practice self love
This is phenomenal! Love this game, really really impressive you guys were able to put this together in 3 days. I played with 3 other people on stream and had a blast. Great 3d models, great music, and a great idea in general. Seriously great work.
5's across the board. Poop is funny and I love sucking it and spitting it out. Great work!
Complete, lovely game with a sweet ending. I really enjoyed this one.
This is fantastic. Well done
10
The ending is seriously so funny! Great work!
Really impressive, great work!
Really cool game, love the artstyle!
Very languid game, great work!
Really cool game, love the art style.
Love the music!
Love the artstyle! I would make the sprites face the camera though! The critters made me curl my toes in excitement!
Really impressive, great work!
Really cool! Love the coyote time!
Love the music!
Really nice, great work!
Really cool! Great vibe, loved the glow effects!
Really cool game! Great work!
I'm befuddled
Loved it! Really cool stuff. Mine crashed at the end I'm not sure if that was intentional but I liked it!
Ants are tiny creatures! #KILTit
Really cool game, great work!
Clumpnuggets? πππππππ Love how quirky the concept is!!! Could maybe use more.
innovative! They don't make em like this anymore!
That ruled af
This game looks fantastic. Also, super creative idea.
As a former exterminator this is exactly what it's like
The movement and bouncing around with the bombs feels super smooth, well done!
Only had the chance to play singleplayer, looks like it would be really fun in multiplayer. Really cool use of the theme, the concept for this is super creative and well executed! Love the main character, the appearance of the game as a whole is very likeable right off the bat, cool stuff! Would love to see this fleshed out
Wow. Just wow. Seriously incredible work. Great job! Coming soon is a masterpiece, I love the ____________________ and the way the _________________ interacts with _______________________ is seriously impressive! Awesome work!
Challenging game! Love the magnifying glass mechanic, really creative. Needs a speed up button, but I could just be spoiled from Bloons. Also the ability to earn money mid-round would be nice
This game has a very soothing nature. The music is a perfect fit. I'll admit I thought the gameplay mechanic was dumb at first when I was playing through "Basics," but as I played through the different modes I was won over completely. The way you made legitimate puzzles I had to stop and think about where every piece of the puzzle is a shrinking or expanding turtle is both fantastic, and a sentence I never thought I'd be expressing to another human being. The idea this game spawned from feels like it should never have been able to provide us with a game that's this enjoyable and well put together - but here it is. Captivatingly simple and simply captivating, seriously great work on this one.
I don't know why you called it Porn Planet
Must admit I felt a bit mislead
I'm youthful so I made it work,
but did have to think of big breasts
This game is super fun, love the artstyle and the gameplay is innovative while self explanatory. The additional elements that get added on as you play to complicate things (like the cat, which I love the sprite for) keep the game engaging throughout, and suggest the sky's the limit for what could be waiting for you in the next room. There was a sort of surrealist vibe to the whole thing - aided heavily by the music - that I really liked. What you guys were able to do with the limited time you were given is seriously impressive. Great work.
Cool game, LOVE the art style. The music is a bit grating lmao but having the fleas able to hoist each other up over things is super creative, in general this game is one of a kind. Really creative premise, great work
This takes me back, my first ever games were made on scratch years and years ago. Love the ants following the path after you find food like real ants would, it adds a ton of character and the noises the ants make are fun.
Cool game! I haven't seen any other tower defense games yet, fun stuff
I really enjoyed this! It's fun to figure out the different crafting recipes and, while it is minimal, the combat doesn't come off as repetitive. It stays enjoyable and there is a feeling of progression as your creatures start to do the work for you that keeps things moving naturally. Great work
Super fun game, I got what I assume to be both endings, lonely and true story. A lot of attention to detail was put into this and it was quite enjoyable running around as a chicken. I also got to experience getting fried in the vents which was fun all around. great work
I thought the use of street view was really cool, completely unique game for sure. Won't be playing another jam game like this this year so definitely kudos for that!
Very impressive! The camera is a bit odd at times but the spider is really cool and the movement is very well done. Overall really great work
Really fun, loved the weapons and it was super satisfying to make those little gibbering fucks shut their traps. Great work!
I didn't really get the story from the game, but I liked the pixel art
The death screens are fantastic, great work!
I really like the art, the mech-ant is "freaking shweet!"
I have to agree with patrick star's assessment of this game, very cool
Cool game! Love the art style.

Enjoyed this a lot! Really fun style and lots to do and find. It was a bit unclear where I could go and where I was meant to go but I was really impressed with how much was here. I think I got stuck at the end but maybe I just didn't find something I was meant to find, either way this was a quality experience and definitely one of the most memorable games I've played so far this jam

As terrible as I was at your game I'm very impressed with the concept and it feels like everything functions (pun intended) smoothly and properly. While I wasn't happy about the theme "Signal" when it was announced this game manages to interpret the theme very literally into an experience where it still feels like a game and not a chore, which can't be said for all the mathematical signal-based puzzles I've been playing lol. Figuring out what I was supposed to do was properly rewarding, and the difficulty curve feels natural and gradual in a way where I don't feel overwhelmed by each new target output. The oscilloscope was a genius addition, ensuring that you can never be totally lost in the wire spaghetti. I feel like this could be a useful tool for teachers as I found myself seriously wanting to figure out how each puzzle was done. Great work
