LD48 — Deeper and deeper (49)

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-05-02T07:25:24Z ♥ 1

Wow I really didn't expect this. Very innovative. I tried to kind of break it by writing words that rhyme without sentences. It didn't really work which I was impressed by. I started by taking one of her words like Daring for example and just putting it in the sentence.

Daring more like. Caring.

What I found interesting is the next time she talked she used the word Caring.

Then I put in.

Caring more like. Daring.

and this time it failed instead of succeeding.

Then I decided to just put an f in over and over. I quickly noticed this was still yielding wins at about a 1/3 ratio. Just to make sure it wasn't some word processing that had to do with the letter I tried again with a period. Same results.

I realized the comment above mine is also true. If you type her exact sentence in you always win. That is the only method I've found to win 100% of the time. But I didn't find something that fails 100% of the time.

Even things like $$$ or 43215823457 or $234$$# Seemed to succeed in some situations.

Very curious what the logic behind this is. It feels like it's just random to be honest, but the thing with her own sentence always working makes me wonder.

Wow. This is the most fun I've had with a game in a little while. Let alone a Ludum Dare game. Everything was awesome, graphics, theme, audio. Even the menus looked great.

My only gripe is that I got to the bottom after buying only 2 upgrades. I think this is mostly because I didn't see the exits on the side of the map until I got to the bottom. Anyway I would love to see this game with more levels. Excellent work.

Also I would love to know more about the process you go through to make something of this quality so fast.

How Low Can You Go? by DanCan 2021-05-02T06:12:03Z ♥ 0

Wow I really love what you did with the theme. The glowing fish and everything slowly getting darker was an awesome effect. The leader board was a great touch too.

Rabbit Rappel by MatterLinx 2021-05-02T06:02:36Z ♥ 3

Wow that was amazing. Seriously 5 out of 5. This might be my favorite entry so far. I'm glad you are putting it on steam. I would love to see this become a full game.

ThaumOS by grasstypefire 2021-05-01T18:29:24Z ♥ 5

This is a neat little OS sim. Definitely feels like I'm using an old OS, Very immersive. It was fun getting little messages from the email client too hahaa. Nice work!

Halt by Teto 2021-05-01T18:23:46Z ♥ 0

This was a lot of fun! It has a great variety of enemy types for a game made in such a short time period. Impressive! It was very funny too. Love the grappling trident ahahha.

Deeper in color by sparked99 2021-05-01T17:55:00Z ♥ 2

Short but very fun! It was very satisfying defeating all the little cloaked guys. I like the decisions to make the projectile pierce enemies. The time mechanic threw an interesting twist in. Difficulty felt just right. Very well done!

MazeCeption by burntoast2000 2021-04-30T01:32:47Z ♥ 1

Clever concept and a good memory exercise. I liked how I could get a glance of the solution before entering the deeper maze.

Loach Dive by Manan 2021-04-29T22:37:14Z ♥ 1

Very awesome. Love the graphics, love the feel of the game. I really have no gripes with this. Very satisfying

Taupi Taupe by Oune 2021-04-29T22:23:27Z ♥ 3

It took me a bit to pickup but the the tutorial was really well crafted especially for a game jam. Very cool game. I was surprised at how innovative the concept was.

Object LD48 by cpv 2021-04-29T22:13:47Z ♥ 1

A neat little side scrolling shooter. It was easy to pick up.

The Deepest Space by Robotex 2021-04-29T22:00:13Z ♥ 2

Very neat as a physics simulation, but I found it a bit unbalanced as a game. It seems like the best way to get to the end is to avoid the entire solar system, all the fuel, and just go straight there. I think making the solar system more dense, reducing the gravitation pull and giving you less max fuel but a more powerful rocket would solve this issue.

Also as a side note I had no idea what the victory area was on the map until I looked at screenshots of the ending of the game. A little animation of it pulsing or something might back that more clear.

I like the way you implemented the gravitational pull UI for the planets and your current speed. That was really smart.

The Fistula Cleaning Crew by Local Minimum 2021-04-29T21:40:01Z ♥ 1

I like the funky rocket controls. I also like how you have a score thing at the end. The camera was a bit to shaky for my taste though.

TREE by Marcionix 2021-04-29T21:05:19Z ♥ 1

This game is great! It was very satisfying to beat it. I like all the restrictions placed on it to give it difficulty and it teaches you though losing which I appreciate.

If I could change one thing I would make it so you absorbed water automatically every time you moved your root, this is mostly because I didn't find any situation where you wouldn't want to absorb water.

Deep Space 99 by CG_Fred 2021-04-29T20:45:58Z ♥ 1

Wow! This is impressive. It really felt like a full experience, great VFX,Models,Sound,Dialogue. I really like the voxel art in general. It felt very tron like and I think the lines were a great way to direct the player. Combat was fun!

Lunar Laundry by FloGames 2021-04-29T20:39:01Z ♥ 1

The art style is awesome! I had fun playing. There is a nice sense of momentum, I couldn't help but feel like the bounding boxes on the dirt were a little big for the particle effect that represented them.

Space?Space!SPACE by Meta-link 2021-04-28T23:58:59Z ♥ 1

I really like the art style and the movement feels really really smooth, but I couldn't figure out how to shoot? I tried space, tried all the face buttons on a ps4 controller. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious?

Lucky Adventurer by Huntrox 2021-04-28T22:28:27Z ♥ 1

Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed. I really love your art style here. The game play was a solid mix of lite puzzles and quality combat. Also I liked the ending!

Be sure to rate more games it would be a shame if you didn't receive 20 ratings. Fantastic work!

Deep Space by Cole Hutson 2021-04-28T04:51:24Z ♥ 0

A very good addictive loop!

Dungeon Painter by IanTheBee 2021-04-28T01:06:30Z ♥ 1

Wow very awesome! This is such a beautiful concept. I would also love to know how this shader works.

Caribbean Invaders by Firesplash Entertainment 2021-04-28T00:56:21Z ♥ 2

This was pretty neat. I also am a big fan of the leader board. Meta tip scroll the cannon tilt all the way down. I love the low poly art style and water it's really neat.

Deeper and deeper by skaminska 2021-04-28T00:40:34Z ♥ 1

Love it. very fun to go get gold and upgrade. Pretty extensive level to explore too.

I think it could benefit from some texture in the water to give you some perspective on which direction you are going. also it would be cool if you didn't use fuel when you were on the surface of the water.

Overall I really like it!

Deep Pocket Digs by ChrisAP 2021-04-28T00:32:13Z ♥ 4

This game seems really cool, but I was having a lot of trouble getting the drilling to start when I pressed space. I ended up mashing it and sometimes it would trigger after the 7th or 8th press. I think maybe I'm missing something, but if it's supposed to trigger when you press space then this is a bug that you could totally fix even if the dev time is up. The rules say your aloud and your game is pretty awesome so I would if you have time. I'd love to play more but I'm having a lot of trouble digging.

That said I love the way the little coins go in that bag. It reminds me of kingdom two crowns but you even expanded on the concept by having physics applied to them while they are in the bag. That's a delightful touch. The core game play is also really cool.

Nice work!

LOOP NOIR by g11 2021-04-28T00:20:10Z ♥ 3

jus one mmore dirnk. Then I'll Slove the puzzle. drinks.png

Drill Deeper by remram44 2021-04-28T00:03:13Z ♥ 1

I admire your level of ambition for this and I think for how complex it is it was pretty successful. I got killed pretty fast but I can see the depth and I like the game. Upgrading a team is an exciting prospect. I like how you have to weigh getting more resources against potentially running into enemies.

Deepest Point by 7Mar 2021-04-27T23:32:21Z ♥ 1

This was fun! I liked how hard it was. I was able to get to 29 on hard. Also I'm a fan of the simplistic style. The high score was a necessary touch it pulled me back in several times.

SUBGUNNER by Marc Jones 2021-04-27T23:28:12Z ♥ 1

Wow this game was excellent! Tons of fun. Upgrades to buy, multiple enemy types, and a boss! It looks great visually too and I'm a big fan of the explosion effect. I was really sold on the underwater feeling by the sound and the graphics.

I did notice a bug with the shop menu which is opened with the ( I ) key. If you hit escape to exit the shop it unpauses the game, but leaves the shop open and things get a bit funky. I also think it might have been a bit easy and maybe a bit long, But overall I loved it. One of my favorites so far! If i had to change it at all I would make it shorter but harder. Although I must say the meter rolling over to 9999 was a great touch that was what kept me going.

Forest by MRaMOR 2021-04-27T22:23:38Z ♥ 1

Big fan of the atmosphere. I also love the way your character turns like paper Mario. I couldn't figure out the first puzzle, but I did manage to flick a lever. Might try again if the comments develop into a guide which could be cool.

The Void by BorderDestroyer 2021-04-27T22:17:32Z ♥ 1

Great game play. I love the main character design too! The section with the moving platforms where you needed to switch very quickly to jump through holes was amazing. It really made me sweat and I liked that.

Incredible work for a first game or even if it wasn't your first game and for a game jam no less! Well done pat yourself on the back!

Ocean Explorer by Johannimations 2021-04-27T22:08:33Z ♥ 1

The art is great! Love the animations. The general tone of being underwater in a cartoon was really well accomplished.

I got to the bottom and when I did there were tons of green fish following me, which was very funny.

I think a meter for how deep you have gone would be cool.

Deep Fried Diner by Akronsus 2021-04-27T21:45:53Z ♥ 2

Really good job in making this an intuitive experience. I automatically moved the fryers and just had fun poking around. The one thing I had to back out and figure out was the receipt having to go with the food order. Very immersive overall.

Gaze into the Deeper by TureGrappa 2021-04-27T21:30:24Z ♥ 1

Loved that you have a boss! There is very little waste in this product, good job

Deep Space by DrYuri 2021-04-27T21:29:55Z ♥ 1

I had fun playing! I think the first level was a little long, I was about to quit thinking there was only one level and then I beat it as I was about to close the game. I liked the difficulty increase of the second level.

The health bar was clear, the idea of being the sun collecting gases was clear, I'm not sure I know what the squiggles were, but it was easy to figure out how to play, and it was fun to play. I think a meter for how long the level was would have gone a long way to keep me interested.

Over all it was successful and pretty fun! Nice work!

LOATIN by Leo Nadeau 2021-04-27T21:22:34Z ♥ 2

Visuals look amazing. I played solo, and I think that this might be a lot more fun co-op, but overall it felt too easy I think?

I liked the boss at the end but after -1300 meters the boss kept climbing downward next to me not attacking. I waited in the center of the screen collecting more and more health until it hit -2400m and at this point nothing had changed so I stopped playing.

I can't help but feel like I was missing something, maybe a second player would have helped.

I also thought the overall theme and mood were on point! Loved the feeling of going deeper and deeper!

Bad Night by vknauss 2021-04-27T21:06:50Z ♥ 2

The beginning was kinda funny if you like dark humor.I got pretty bored with the walking speed considering how far I had to drag the body. My biggest gripe is the inverted first person camera. I found it genuinely hard to control.

On the bright side physics are always fun. I thought grabbing the body was pretty funny and dragging it had a certain physical charm. I also thought it worked pretty well with the theme!

Mine The Beat by GamesBySaul 2021-04-27T18:04:58Z ♥ 3

Good job on the presentation! I played till I was quite wealthy but I wasn't sure how much health I had before I died.

SLING-MAN AND THE CHASM OF 1000 WORRIES by real_flamingicecubegames 2021-04-27T03:44:41Z ♥ 1

Pretty neat to see a physics oriented game like this. It was pretty funny too as physics games tend to be. I also appreciated the extra layers of depth. A change in scenery is a nice reward for getting deeper. Also the high score meter was a nice touch!

T.O.P.O by emrod 2021-04-27T03:29:52Z ♥ 2

A solid arcade game. The boost control is a nice addition. Also the sounds almost remind me of sonic and I like that.

Sleep Deprived by Khill 2021-04-27T01:09:33Z ♥ 1

I fumbled with the controls for a bit. The keyboard movement but clicking with the mouse to confirm everything threw me off a bit. Maybe there was a confirm button on the keyboard, but I didn't find it.

Overall this being made in such a short time is very impressive. Love the music. It really is making me want to fall asleep right now haahah. Very relaxing. Feels good to play something chill after the jam. Art is great!

Octopus Dive by JedeMac 2021-04-27T00:57:55Z ♥ 1

I felt bad not giving people 5 stars before, but your game definitely deserves all 5. Great gameplay, audio, graphics, everything was amazing. I especially loved the octopus facts, although the last one was kinda sad :( Amazing job!!! Best game I have seen yet!

Bumpy Drilly by Paul-Maxime 2021-04-27T00:39:11Z ♥ 2

Wow this was pretty addicting. The end really surprised me, and I thought it was a clever way to end the game mechanically. Very well made.

Going Down by omer1615 2021-04-27T00:34:14Z ♥ 4

Liked the sound effects, especially for the chat! I love the concept, though the controls were a bit hard to get used to. Overall well done!

Squareroot mining by omnes ludos 2021-04-27T00:16:26Z ♥ 2

Same issue here I couldn't find an EXE on windows :/

Buried in the Past by Ironfred 2021-04-26T23:55:18Z ♥ 4

I loved this game! I appreciated the thought put into the background story, as well as the theme behind it. I really loved playing this, and was actually upset that there wasn't more! Great job!

Mind Pit by Jordan Dube 2021-04-26T23:46:08Z ♥ 0

This has great presentation and really makes you feel like you need to use intuition to tell what arrow keys to press next. I really liked the audio and graphics especially the front cover.

I second that a score meter would have been nice to see if I was doing better or worse each time.

Down the Rat Hole by Guardaro 2021-04-26T23:38:27Z ♥ 2

Man... these characters are mean to you but its cool cos that theme song is BUMPIN! Really fun dialogue

Car Go Fast! by SuperSackBoy 2021-04-26T23:35:59Z ♥ 0

I love the name. I love the bold decision to have the start button be only one key on the keyboard just to make you search for it. Very brave for the sake of humor. This game is the funniest game I've played so far!

I think adding a number that goes up the further you drive would add a lot to the experience.

Space Sail Away by carpaccino 2021-04-26T23:00:32Z ♥ 2

I love this concept of gravity pulling your movement and the introduction to it was done in a fun visual way. I think I ended up exiting the map after playing a while however and I encountered a lot of flashing lights.

Unto the Eight by Threeli 2021-04-26T22:50:40Z ♥ 1

This is a really neat idea. I can imagine someone spending a lot of time finding the ideal path (speed running) this game. Even though I tend to not like games in this genre. I thought the art was cohesive, the audio was solid, and the world building was thorough. Overall pretty cool stuff.

Constructive criticism, some of the pixel art didn't quite read the object for me, but I eventually figured it out.
