Interesting idea. I think it would have been more interesting if there was actually text and maybe a through story instead of randomly generated choices, but that is probably asking too much for a game jam haha. It's a very interesting set of mechanics though and I'd really like to see it expanded further. Nice job!

Jelly Pacifist by Dan McAlister 2021-04-28T18:13:09Z ♥ 1

Fascinating and well done! I expected something sillier from the title and description, but this was really sweet and emotive. Very poetic truly. I could tell this was a personal piece. Well done!

Voice Warm-up by Effarek 2021-04-28T17:59:37Z ♥ 1

Very clever and funny interpretation of the theme! It had very simple gameplay but reminded me of the WarioWare rapid games. I can tell you had fun making this one. Nice job!

Almost A Digging Game by Fist Full of Shrimp 2021-04-28T17:55:14Z ♥ 1

Fun little game. Character moves really fast and it's pretty easy to end up in a hole you have to bomb yourself in. Still worth a play. Nicely done!

ROOTS by TheGreenWorm 2021-04-28T17:51:50Z ♥ 1

Wow! This is very well done! The visuals and sound really nailed it and the gameplay is exceptionally well polished! Excellent job! Hard to believe this was made in 48 hours!

Eros and Psyche by Noam Zeise 2021-04-28T17:11:33Z ♥ 1

Interesting idea of using multiple different game mechanics. All of them worked pretty well too, although the first one started to cause my eyes to strain they were moving so fast lol. Nicely done!

Redeeppedeer by toasteater 2021-04-28T16:59:53Z ♥ 1

I always really get into when games use a computer UI as part of their game. It's just really immersive to me. This is a fun idea! Would like to see it expanded!

Down to the Core by his-games 2021-04-28T16:52:19Z ♥ 1

Very smooth gameplay! The audio and visual feedback felt really satisfying! Great work!

Solar Winds by bkelly 2021-04-28T16:35:39Z ♥ 1

Very interesting concept! Especially with the phone controls. Really emphasizes the feeling of remotely controlling something. First time playing a died immediately on entering the first portal cause I spawned right next to an enemy so maybe some tweaking still needs to be done. But very clever nonetheless!

Conversational Pitfalls by oxrock 2021-04-28T16:26:29Z ♥ 0

Definitely good for a good chuckle. The voice acting too lol. Pretty simple and random all around, but it was nice all the same. Well done!

Follow My Voice by coyotethursday 2021-04-28T16:01:09Z ♥ 1

Very interesting and unique idea! It really makes me what other sorts of games can benefit from having this type of sound based mechanics. Well done on a fun entry!

Despair by blaster391 2021-04-28T15:50:46Z ♥ 1

Fun dungeon run! The art style is really nice with the hand drawn images. I really liked the audio too. I feel like it probably could have done with some checkpoints because when I died on the boss I just didn't really have it in me to go all the way back through again. Nicely done overall!

all the king's men by otresnjak 2021-04-28T15:34:33Z ♥ 1

This is probably my favorite game of the Jam thus far. You managed to interpret the "deeper and deeper" theme in a depth of emotion way without feeling too gamey or contrived. This resonated with me a lot. Especially the end. I did not expect to get this kind of emotion from a 48 hour game jam game but here we are. Congratulations and well done!

Bass Drop by TimTipGames 2021-04-28T15:24:21Z ♥ 1

High score 20760. I love rhythm games. The triplets felt off time to me but I had a good time playing it nonetheless. Nicely done!

Deeper Trance by dhim 2021-04-28T15:17:40Z ♥ 1

Wish I could see the effect. I'm not really able to get close enough to the screen with my monitor setup. Very cool and clever idea though! Very unique! Good job!

Madman - The Crazy Scientist by mudlee 2021-04-28T15:10:51Z ♥ 1

Fun and silly little game. The hypnosis bit was funny but felt really long and tedious after the first couple times. Police sound effect was really funny. Nice job!

How deep is this rabbit hole anyway? by snesgaard 2021-04-28T14:48:46Z ♥ 1

Very goofy and fun. Very flappy bird type controls. The hourglass effects were pretty fun but they killed me every time lol. Nicely done!

Descent into Madness by danvil 2021-04-28T14:42:14Z ♥ 1

Very interesting mood and visuals. I loved the lighting elements. Couldn't finish as it got way too fast towards the end and the momentum when turning is pretty tight. The lure plant monsters are nearly always instant death for one mistake too. Very beautiful game! Well done!

Brubnar the Barbarian in the Deepest Dungeon by Quinn_Patrick 2021-04-28T14:32:09Z ♥ 1

Very funny game! One thing I found is that the character moves faster when he's moving diagonal. I also would have liked WASD controls. Well done on the art and comedy! It was a fun time!

Into The Darkness by Ryan Romero 2021-04-28T14:23:06Z ♥ 1

Very unique and innovative! Took me too long to realize that fires I left off the chain go out. It was sometimes a bit hard to navigate and tell where I was. But I would love to see this expanded! Well done!

Transcendental by pdotjpg 2021-04-28T14:16:49Z ♥ 1

Loved the sound design! Ran into an odd situation where many of the obstacles I deflected lost momentum and just hung out around the edges of the screen but I just had to nudge them again lol. Very well designed! Had a good time! Well done!

Viper Mission One by Majadroid 2021-04-28T13:32:35Z ♥ 1

Fun game! I love sci fi stuff like this. Some suggestions would be that the asteroids feel like they should be destructible (although maybe they are and I'm just bad lol but I never seemed to destroy one.) It's also tricky to tell when a target is in range with the perspective. There were many times I could see the enemy but still couldn't quite hit them. Still had a good time piloting your well designed starship! Well done!

The Deepest Threat by Goutye 2021-04-28T13:23:57Z ♥ 1

Fun little game! I like seeing numbers go up lol. I thought I was pretty overpowered by the end but the Beholder got close to finishing me. Art style looks really nice too! Well done!

Yet Another Shmup by AssertFailure 2021-04-28T13:08:33Z ♥ 1

Nice little game. I've never been much a fan of move mouse to move but it worked ok here. Also the enemies at the beginning have a too high rate of fire. It's almost impossible to beat them without taking damage yourself. Art and effects look really nice! Well done!

Tension by JustinMullin 2021-04-28T12:57:21Z ♥ 1

Very interesting grapple mechanic! I did get frustrated with some of the later sections, but I didn't expect to see such a cinematic and practically hypnotic ending sequence. Well done!

crypt fiasco by daheer 2021-04-28T12:33:48Z ♥ 2

Fun little platformer! The music in this was top notch! I really got that cartoony fun vibe listening. The platformer controls were tight too. I've never been a big fan of click to aim melee attacks but it wasn't too bad here. One thing though, when designing platformers, I always get frustrated when I can't see the next platform I'm trying to jump too, and there were a bunch of times when descending where I had to jump down into a pit and trust I wouldn't land on spikes (which I did a couple times). Other than that, well done! It really seems you have a good grasp on game feel which is so important in platformers.

50 Step Treasure Hunt by Not_AS_Artistic 2021-04-27T13:58:21Z ♥ 1

I got a bug a few times where I could occupy the same space as a push block by using the undo function. I also couldn't figure out how the portals would work. Fun design idea though!

Submarine Bean by Icoso 2021-04-27T13:17:09Z ♥ 0

Very nice feeling game. The controls felt fluid and responsive. Excellent color choices too. The only critique I had is that in one of the very early levels there was a section where I built up a bit of momentum and thought I had a bit of space under a stationary wall of mines but I ran into one that was covered by the seaweed decorations. It's a minor gripe but it felt unfair at the time that the obstacle was covered. But other than that it was nice to just kinda bop my head to the chill music and zone out to the smooth gameplay. Well done!

Physics Breaking Boxes by Temulgeh 2021-04-27T13:07:05Z ♥ 0

This was way fun! The puzzles had a very nice flow to them and were well thought out. Wish there was more!

Putaverunt by Spacespytv 2021-04-26T14:18:25Z ♥ 1

This game comes across as very expressive and personal. I really liked the grainy effect applied to the screen. It added a sort of mystical, otherworldly vibe. I was really hoping for a revelation, or some sort of happy ending, so it ended kind of abruptly for me. But perhaps, since quick redemptions and life changes aren't really true to life, it's kind of appropriate. Well done and congrats on completing!

memories.io - A Living Painting by NamidaSai 2021-04-26T14:07:26Z ♥ 2

For such a simple art style, I actually found the game very pretty. Good feelings all around and it made a lot more sense after reading the entire description. The only constructive thing I can think of to say is that the game might benefit with a longer timer. This type of abstract game benefits a lot from the player drawing their own conclusions and that might be easier to do if they had more time to play around and experiment. Great job!

Krakonsequence by JudgeZedd 2021-04-26T13:57:13Z ♥ 2

I love this style of humor! I spent more time watching the news overlays change then fighting off the treacherous drillers more often than not. The one note I have is that when I initially started, the Kraken covered up parts of the controls tutorial so I had to wiggle around for a bit to read them all. Outside of that, good fun! Well done!

Ocean Cleanup by Weirdybeardyman 2021-04-26T13:44:22Z ♥ 2

Fun little game! Controlling the sub wasn't easy but I think that was mostly intentional. In particular I always associate CTRL with down in most games Lol. I played through a few times and never found a vent though. Also got a good chuckle out of the quip at the end.

GodMode by Landerack 2021-04-26T13:36:34Z ♥ 1

The dash based movement and combat was a little clunky at times, but I can see being really fun with just a bit of polish. I loved the art style a lot. I wish I had that kinda talent in that field. One note for future would be to tone down the level rotation effect. It was a bit disorienting at times and hard to tell exactly where I was because the level would rotate on changed direction. But overall well done!

The Meaning of Life Is by AfroAnt 2021-04-26T13:27:48Z ♥ 1

Very funny! I had a great time playing this one and just playing through as many options as I could. Some of them surprised me with how you made them funny too! Well done!

Type Fisher by breadstix 2021-04-26T13:11:46Z ♥ 1

You should probably zip all your game data together as one file. As it is, I wasn't able to figure out how to download and arrange all the necessary files myself. I'd love to try it though!

Forge Dig Forge by MoLa0404 2021-04-26T13:04:10Z ♥ 0

Didn't load for me either. I'd be happy to try it again once it's fixed!

Moth extraction by rhys_vdw 2021-04-26T13:01:19Z ♥ 2

Yikes! This game made me uncomfortable! At least it was over quick and easy lol. Definitely worth a good chuckle! Very funny interpretation of the theme too!

Space Dwarf Alchemist Go! by BlackOpsBen 2021-04-26T12:55:55Z ♥ 1

I played this game way longer than I should have haha. This type of gameplay loop really sucks me in. Overall rather simple, but I would personally play an expanded version of this game for hours. I just like seeing numbers get bigger lol.

Into The Nightmare by Bungalow 2021-04-26T12:44:56Z ♥ 1

Haha nice and spooky. I died too many times because my reflexes suffer in spooky environments. A fun time nonetheless though. Well done!

Mind Hunter by Hotpaw 2021-04-26T02:55:11Z ♥ 1

Definitely interesting and artful design went into this one. I couldn't really figure out what I was supposed to be doing though. All of the little hints didn't really seem to indicate a connection, just a general broad incident where someone was killed? I listened for audio cues but couldn't pick up anything there either. Loved the style, visuals, and effects though!

Crypto-mine Disaster by Doc Kaos 2021-04-26T02:43:34Z ♥ 3

This was definitely good for a nice chuckle. My reflexes might not be very fast, but I thought the timer was a touch restrictive. The jump also felt a lot heavier than I'm used to and I kept falling into fire. But maybe I'm just not very good.
