LD48 — Deeper and deeper (34)

Holey Hell by managore 2021-05-10T12:30:08Z ♥ 0

Very original entry, the waves and jump creates interesting mechanic. I like this overall but I think the difficulty should be lowered a little bit.

Deep Blue by Imphenzia 2021-05-03T12:51:34Z ♥ 1

I love the art style, animations and the idea of a 1 button mechanic but I must admit it was so hard to time it properly. I feel like the mechanic is backbone of this game and it did not deliver what I expected but don't get me wrong, it is a great polished submission for a compo!

Going Down in Fishstory by Jonas Tyroller 2021-05-03T12:46:02Z ♥ 2

I usually don't like Noah's art style, but this game is so awesome. Top quality voice acting, visuals and the charge mechanic feels so good. Such a polished game! Probably my favorite so far. The camera zoom does a great job for the atmosphere.

The Deep Web by William Corrin 2021-05-01T17:10:17Z ♥ 1

I really liked the neon style of the game, it felt like Tron. I like how you tackled the drift mode and I ust wished it has some cool visual effect. Solid game for compo and the level design was sometimes pretty rough for player but the last level was awesome!

Deep Voice by mdotedot 2021-04-29T12:51:46Z ♥ 1

Pretty original idea and theme interpretation :D Though I would welcome some music and sound FX in the background of my beatiful voice lol...

Abyss Diver by Vaanrile 2021-04-28T13:20:13Z ♥ 1

I really like the visuals and that you managed to make such a details (rider looking in move direction), broken glass etc. The atmosphere is great and all the sound fx and music complement the experience. Great job! I did not manage to get back tho :D the corridors were maybe too much narrow.

Pescuit Pe Plajă by Trexxak 2021-04-28T09:58:11Z ♥ 1

I really liked the music and the overall feel of the game. Is the score just random from items you catch or you get more if you are faster?

So-so-phia by Atomic 2021-04-28T09:48:58Z ♥ 3

I think it would be better to polish the game more than making it this long but I enjoyed the different abilities, they were fun. In my opinion pushing the humour did not work as intended. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it and am just nitpicking :)

Titan Spear by Zackavelli 2021-04-28T09:33:28Z ♥ 1

Wow, this was awesome! I love these stress game jam games, you managed to combie the fun sound and idea with pretty intensive gameplay. Love it!

SlappyBird by JCMonkey 2021-04-28T07:21:40Z ♥ 2

I love the sound effects and the slap mechanic. Very fun game, only thing I would suggest is making the difficulty scale slower but that's just my noob opinion :D

Pressure by smt 2021-04-27T19:47:19Z ♥ 1

Awesome gun model and animations, the combo aspect is so much fun! Great job.

Dwarf Deep by aevek 2021-04-27T18:56:37Z ♥ 1

The controls definitely needs improvement, the game is too hard but I think the air concept and upgrades are very fun! The visuals are also really polished.

Into The Depths by TheColorRedYT 2021-04-27T18:47:36Z ♥ 0

Sadly it crashes too often :( but I like the dududu cmon music

Subterranean Sub by NorthernDevGuy 2021-04-27T13:22:53Z ♥ 1

The sound effects of bubble and hook are awesome. I also like the overall visual style and models. Gj!

Deepest Dungeon by Almighty Games 2021-04-27T11:25:17Z ♥ 1

I really like the visuals and the overall atmosphere of the game. I felt lost in the dungeon the whole time and it really has this trapped in the maze vibe. Gj!

Just Defuse the Bomb!! by AndrewDavidJ 2021-04-27T11:08:29Z ♥ 1

I did not understand what to do but transitioning deeper (further?) was nice. The controls felt too slidy but the visuals were pleasant.

Task Surgeon by Zyger 2021-04-27T09:38:03Z ♥ 1

Awesome, I like the minigames, though I always fail the kidney fill. A lot of work done in such a short time! I also like the voice over intro.

Dwarven Descent by Chumzy 2021-04-27T09:22:51Z ♥ 0

I like that you have different enemy types and the puzzle aspect of getting the treasure

Dwarven Surveyor by Jimbly 2021-04-26T19:38:27Z ♥ 1

Awesome original game. It took me a while to understand all the mechanics properly but once I got it it started to make sense :) I like how it drills indefinitely if it hits rock.

Octopus Diver by Voxel Forest 2021-04-26T19:29:06Z ♥ 2

I like the art style and swimming feels good with the sound effect. I wish there was some chill music in the background and it would be a good idea if the bad fish was moving, this was way too easy :)

BugDive by Tad I Guess 2021-04-26T19:23:22Z ♥ 2

Very funny cute little game you got there :D I was laughing when I was failing to click on the bug! I love the music and sound effects

Lost Light by The_G 2021-04-26T19:17:28Z ♥ 2

Visuals are awesome but I don'think the music fits the game. Also how many levels are there? I made it to 24 until it got boring :D

Asquid by Omid Ghavami 2021-04-26T19:04:55Z ♥ 1

I wish the instructions were more clear although I managed to get to level 2. I like how the sound changes when your are moving something.

Treasure Hunter by Scrawach 2021-04-26T18:58:59Z ♥ 1

I felt like there was too much text in the cut scenes but I welcome the skip button even though I have not used it. Very nice polished graphics. The concept is very fun and original! The controls of movement and fighting could be a little bit smoother somehow but overall a great submission.

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-26T18:44:59Z ♥ 2

I like the bomb visuals how they start to glow red. It's entertaining to kick the bomb into the holes. Very polished game.

Last Breath by Yorsh 2021-04-26T18:37:59Z ♥ 1

Awesome visuals and atmosphere. Very original idea, this is by far best game I played. I like that it's a little bit creepy

Dive! Dive! by John Harper 2021-04-26T14:55:00Z ♥ 2

I like the submarine model and the idea of diving deeper and deeper. The explosion effect was good too. I would love to have some quiet background music nad possibly some heal mechanic. I made it to 650m! :)

Crawl Deeper by Linus Lindberg 2021-04-26T14:49:15Z ♥ 0

Great athmosphere but gets boring pretty quickly

Cave Runner by Sir. Syko 2021-04-26T14:45:04Z ♥ 1

I think that music and maybe some sound effects would really made this a lot better. Interesting fun idea and it would be better to add 2 keys for 1 dodge down and 2 jump over to be more interactive

Botanica by FDK 2021-04-26T14:39:35Z ♥ 1

For a first game jam very well done! I like the music and the idea is interesting too. I would suggest making it easier because it was very hard to navigate through the floating balls :D Also I would like to get the camera from bigger distance to see what's where more clearly

The Ancient Key by jaybaus 2021-04-26T14:20:24Z ♥ 1

I like the sound of cars when you enter the mysterious forest! Interesting idea and I like it overall, especially the red/blue pill reference.

Asteroid Disaster by XCVZXC 2021-04-26T14:09:53Z ♥ 1

Wow, I like the narrative idea and execution. You are very talented, the music is very professional and the game is very polished. I would like to see more bonuses generated on the way, there were just a few. Very funny and the end game animation is awesome :D

all the king's men by otresnjak 2021-04-26T14:02:30Z ♥ 1

I love the music :) also the effect of going into next level and then vice versa was pretty cool.

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-04-26T13:47:15Z ♥ 2

Interesting take on the theme! :D It took me a while to figure out what I should write, but then it was clear and became long night ;)

I like the background music and it feels good to get so deep!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (29)

Timbo by Kusaihana 2018-12-11T08:52:03Z ♥ 0

Original take on the theme. Something you should consider is game speed dependant on number of letters you have already collected. Cat animation is good and the game is very casual but fun. Cheers and keep up the great work! :)

**FREEZING IS THE MAIN PROBLEM ** by CausaCreations 2018-12-10T08:48:38Z ♥ 2

Cool concept but I find it not fun after a while. It propably takes too long to freeze. Awesome graphics with fire changing. Great submission for ludum dare for sure. Cheers and keep up the great work :)

Lighter Than Air by simon.parzer 2018-12-10T08:34:07Z ♥ 2

Your idea is unique and very fun! :) It just felt sometimes that I am descending with less passengers than I had on beggining but that may be caused by high altitude? I love that your game has lot of "oops" moments when you accidently kill your passengers and I think it's the reason why it's so good :) Cheers and keep up the great work!

Nature is Harsh by hav24 2018-12-09T19:54:54Z ♥ 1

Great idea and very original with 2 possible sacrifice benefit + being able to shoot bananas. Interesting puzzle game and it took me a while to finish it. Works great and has no drawback. Good job and keep it up! :)

Slash Rush by Delhaize 2018-12-09T17:00:39Z ♥ 2

Great game, it is really satisfying to pop balloons. Graphics is great and music really fits the game. Theme idea of sacrificing tries for one round to have more in the next is interesting and original. It was quite hard, I finished on 3rd run. Keep up the great work! :)

Icy Golems by jeroenpx 2018-12-09T16:39:31Z ♥ 1

Oh boy, this is so good for a compo game. Graphics and overall look is so great. Idea is original, puzzles are challenging but not impossible. I miss some kind of music and sound, it would be perfect with it. One thing that suprised me was that after freezing a golem, the circle reseted. That was a little bit unintuitive. Great game and keep it up! :)

BulletHealth by Rugbug_Redfern 2018-12-09T13:44:19Z ♥ 1

Awesome game. I loved the animations and sound effects. I hate minecraft graphics but your graphics were more polished and more of a lowpoly instead of minecrafty. Great job and keep it up! :) I spent more time on your game than I was expecting :D

Sacrificio Inc. by Reality Blind 2018-12-09T13:08:24Z ♥ 1

Technically, this is finished product for me, only more content is needed (but gj for making 13 working lvls in this limited time). Graphics, including animations and sound is top quality. Idea is simple yet effective. Congratulations, one of the best games I've played this LD. I can't really find anything that is bad. Keep up this kind of great work! Cheers :) Interesting comment from @nnikki about using move counter instead of timer, I agree with that.

Glow It Alone by egawag 2018-12-09T12:47:19Z ♥ 2

Awesome game with great graphics, sound and background music. Very good mood and overall player experience was great. I disliked the controls, I think it's just better to jump with W or Up Arrow (if arrows are used) instead of space. I wish your game was longer but I know how tight time is for compo. Great submission, keep up the good work!

Farewell Dear Cargo by ignaciogamedev 2018-12-08T20:27:08Z ♥ 1

Stunning graphics! I liked the sound effects and music. Overall game feel is awesome and idea is original but it lacks some more depth because I just did not want to play more. Anyway really great submission and keep it up, you are very talented! ;)

Hunger Sings by Swanijam 2018-12-08T19:59:36Z ♥ 1

Graphics is stunning! I think you were successful because I wondered what happened and what is gonna happen. Very well done, keep up the good work! :)

Hire Power by Yoni 2018-12-08T19:26:16Z ♥ 1

Great game. I loved sound effects "hayahaya", very funny! Sometimes I couldn't move anymore, I don't know why. Interesting idea with followers converting other NPCs. Good job and keep it up! :)

Cute Army Conquest by MestreRothLD 2018-12-08T17:32:57Z ♥ 2

I love the graphics! Cuties battling each other is awesome idea and sound was well made too. The controls was harder to learn because clicking on single unit while it is running was hard. But overall is great and AI was actually pretty smart. Keep it up guys! :)

Wolf Busters by Zielon 2018-12-08T17:05:01Z ♥ 1

Graphics are awesome, I love this style. Gameplay is also fun, but after we killed all wolfes, nothing happened :D. Also some wolves were kind of stuck and running in one place for a while. Nevertheless great game and keep up the good work :)

Alain's Sacrifice by Daniel_Abeleira 2018-12-08T16:15:10Z ♥ 1

Great submission for your first LD. I liked the sound effects and the retro vibe in your game. Shooting fireballs is fun and I liked that I had to backtrack sometimes to avoid taking dmg. Controls were unintuitive, W for jump and S & D for movement + something like space/ctrl for shooting would be better. Keep up the good work! :)

FTD : Fixin' to Die by Dezzles 2018-12-07T20:16:24Z ♥ 2

Great game because it's immersive and I always tried to save everyone but I couldn't :(. The narrator is badass and sound overall is one of the best. Congratulations to whole team and keep it up! :) btw the animated cloak is just awesome...

The Exchange by caeonosphere 2018-12-06T13:15:28Z ♥ 0

The card art, mechanical gameplay and story was really great and intuitive, this is the best part of your game. As someone pointed out, when new lines of text appeared, I was confused where the last text ended. Some background music would make the game even better, I kind of missed that. The overall idea and world you created was so awesome and I enjoyed playing. Keep going! :)

Follow Me by sbeif 2018-12-05T16:18:33Z ♥ 1

Oh man, this game is so great, I love it! :) One of the best I've played so far. The following mechanic + checkpoints is awesome, music is great, obstacles are challenging but not impossible. Good job! You also nailed the theme. One thing that is worse (but still good) is graphics...I like more complex graphics. Anyway really great job and keep it up! I just remembered that I got stuck 2 times and couldn't do anything, but I don't know how to reproduce this.

A.I. Careers Advisory Service: Your Path To Success by garygreen 2018-12-05T15:55:00Z ♥ 1

I really like the idea of sacrificing "life" for your career. One thing that you should improve is having more texts for different events to avoid looping them. Music was nice and moody. It felt like I don't have a big control over my options tho. Good submission anyway and keep it up! :)

Destroy All Cubes! by Danny Sun 2018-12-04T21:02:30Z ♥ 0

I think the game speeds up way too slow. I liked the arcade sound effects and even though it is poor on graphics, shooting things is satisfying as usual ;) I think it does not fit the theme well, but it's always just better to finish something than nothing. Stay motivated and you'll get better! Good job :)

Sorry sword by Narudgi 2018-12-04T20:11:24Z ♥ 2

I think the best thing about your game is the customization menu, so many cool options :). I like the simplicity of the game but it was sometimes hard to hit other player. One thing I miss is map shrinking after some time or some kind of anti stall mechanic. Anyway we liked it and keep it up! :)

EagleSong by planschi 2018-12-04T19:55:14Z ♥ 1

We had a lot of fun and it's awesome that 4 people could play this. Sound effects were really funny and controls were smooth. We would like to have some kind of win counter or smth like that, maybe even best of 5. Cheers and keep it up! :)

Craftsman by Gao Ming 2018-12-04T19:11:00Z ♥ 0

It took me a while to realize how to pass level 1 :D. I liked the overall mood and dark atmosphere of the game. Sadly I have to admit this is not my cup of tea but I think you did amazing job! Keep it up man!

Offshoot by Owen Rees 2018-12-04T18:54:48Z ♥ 1

I love the idea of having guns instead of limbs! That's really awesome feature that makes this so original. I also loved your sound effects and the fact every game is randomized. On the other hand, I think guns are not well balanced, I used almost exclusively shotgun and minigun and I hate that you don't have any kind of tutorial ingame. Anyway, your game is awesome and keep up the great work!

Winter Summer Land by tomdeal 2018-12-04T18:42:03Z ♥ 1

Player movement felt not enough responsive for my taste but I liked the concept of losing health when throwing balls. Throwing felt natural and was fun. I love that you have different enemy types in your game :) Keep up the great work!

Volcano Rush! by moltanem2000 2018-12-03T22:08:33Z ♥ 0

Music is so thematic, I love it! Graphics are great too and I love this kind of gameplay. As someone pointed out, checkpoints would be great. I admire that you made your engine too. Keep going! ;)

Exploding Sport by jk5000 2018-12-03T21:45:42Z ♥ 1

We had fun with my brother in law. Thank you! :) Great gameplay and graphics. Keep up the great work! ;)

Volcano Royale XTREME by Morg 2018-12-03T21:26:15Z ♥ 0

Music was awesome and sound effects like "Oh shit" really made it special. I think the original idea of pushing others into volcano was good but it kind of lacks depth. Keep up the work! ;)

Dog Dog Dungeon by bubblewandgames 2018-12-03T21:12:26Z ♥ 1

Tune is really nice and I like the concept of throwing dogs :D. Game is quite challenging that I almost gave up but in the end I made it! :) One thing I dislike is the pixel art combined with dog sprites. Anyway, great job man!
