What a cute game! I just die way to quickly haha
Would be great if this was available online :)
Can't play it on mac, but this looks fun!
This was really fun! The juciness of this game is so high that the simplistic game play is not an issue. I really loved the music and the drawings!
Would be awesome if this was available for other platforms as well. Also a web version would be great!
It would be great if you could play this game online :)
Too bad it's not available on Mac or Web. Would love to try this!

This looks really good! Sadly there is no way to play it on mac or preferably on the web.
The sound effects are cute, and I love the animation when you find something.
Would be great if you could play this online!
This was actually kind of fun :) It felt a bit buggy, but the general mechanics were fun. I especially liked that you could clean up the dead kitten. It was really getting hard with a lot of kittens running around into their poo. Also I didn't understand at first that you could feed the cats with the chickens ;)

Would be great I I could play this on mac or online
You should also make it available as an HTML5 game. That would be great!
This was really fun to play! And the planet looks so lovely and cute
The way you're presenting the story feels pretty nice, especially the music works super well and creates a nice atmosphere
The idea is awesome and I love the style. However I wish there was no way to be game over. I just want to click and not worry about anything :)
Nice,very moody game :) Like how the music and colors fit together.
So far the most enjoyable game I game across in this ldjam. Good job!
Haha love this theme in combination with tower defense. Pretty fun idea!
I loved the song in the main menu! The game play itself was a bit too stressful to me, took me a while to get the first level done haha. But the words of the robot kept me going. Really nice work!
Beautiful game :) Unfortunately I didn't get how to plant more than one cactus, which also withered away in no time. I was amazed by all the detail in the game though. Also the atmosphere gave me some Bee and Puppycat vibes. Visually this is really good. It would be perfect if everything felt a little bit more coherent. The objects with a more brownish/thicker outline feel a little bit out of place. Some of this might also be scaling the objects differently 🤔This is just me being nitpicky though lol, it's really cute!
I like the oldschool looking art style :) it feels a little inconsistent though, not exactly sure why, maybe using dithering for shading could work well here. also I wish the character could move a little bit faster, so that I can get those orders out quicker hehe. love the sound the cows make when you melk them haha.
Great idea to combine a gardening game with a tower defense! First I didn't understand that I needed to click on the shop building to buy plants so I was a bit confused. But once I figured it out it was a good bit of fun! Great work :)
Didn't make it to the end, but this was super engaging and I love the unique art style!
The art of this game is so lovely :) I really liked just walking around and looking at stuff. took me a while though to find the controls. you should mention in the description that c is using an item. also really after knowing the controls I still didn't really know what i had to do apart from keeping the fires out.
anyway: i really love that moustache, would love to see more with that guy haha
Haha, what a fun and ambitious game! Doesn't happen often that a LD game has another mini-game :D Unfortunately one of my pandas died just as I was reaching auto-work hehe. You already mentioned some shortcomings, I'm sure it's mostly about spending more time on it to make this really fun. I especially loved the eating animation, I wish it had some sound effects when the pandas are crunching.
Nice idea :) I wish I wouldn't need to start from level 1 though when failing 😬 I love that you kept the color pallette simple, it really works well together. I also loved the overall art style, even though I didn't really recognize the players/enemies quite well as people.
Nice game! I wish it was a bit easier to control the ship. I love low poly art style and mood. It seems though the density of polygons was not consistent, I think if that were the case it would look even better!
This was really cute to play! Nice art style, mood and sound. Needed the hint for the last level. Felt very nostalgic after this <3
Really lovely art style, I like how everything wobbles. Also liked the little introduction in the beginning. The movement itself felt a bit unresponsive, but the puzzles itself were quite fun. I felt quite stuck in the 3rd level because I didn't realize I could move before making the decision haha
Nice game :) I loved that you added these cut scenes with dialogue in between levels. While I generally like the art style, it felt a little bit messy. Polishing this up a bit would make it even better.
Couldn't play this on mac, but I think the art looks lovely!
I like the style, especially of the buildings :) Love the idea for the theme as well. Felt a bit frustrated about moving so slowly ;)
Unfortunately wasn't able to play it, since I have a mac. (Maybe you could export it as html5 with unity?) But I just watched your video and enjoyed seeing your process. Seems like a good game and I love the art style :)
This art style is really lovely and pretty, nice color palette. Also the game itself was fun and on point for the theme. I just wish there was no game over because I'm so terrible that I need to start from the beginning all the time. Nice, pretty and juicy game! Good job :)
I only wiped out 57% of all dinosaurs, because in the beginning I thought I can destroy the dinosaurs by crashing into them (I'm an astroid after all 😅). But then I understood that I would only loose mass doing this. Loved the little dinosaur graphics and the bosses.
It seemed like thanks to Pythagoras that moving with two arrow keys pressed at the same time was faster, but I guess that's very classic thing and didn't take away from the nice feel of the game.
Good job! 🦖🦕
Maybe too glitchy for me? I couldn't get past the second level. Had no clue what to do :/ I really love how it looks though!
Pretty hard to play with a track pad, but I really loved the challenge! If I had a mouse it would have been really awesome, even with a track pad I replayed the second level a couple of time.
In the beginning I was a bit confused because the help text in the corner was pretty small. If you place this more prominently that would heave helped :)
I also liked the little particle effect when the plants die!
Very nice and relaxed. I liked big-mouth-guy the most. Love the look and feel of the game. I think if there would be different animations for moving left and right with the character it would look even smoother :)
Quite a fun idea! And defintely the best pun of ld47. I wish I would get some nice feedback after completing a level and it would send me to the next level right away. Really cool puzzle game!
I really love the fox :) The jump'n'run mechanics seem a bit off. It was pretty hard for me to move through the game. Apart from that a really good game!
Such a beautiful game! When the picture comes together and the narration starts, oh my god ðŸ˜
Once I clicked I was like, yes a clicker! Love to see them in jams. Was quite a fun ride, even though I felt like by buying a lot of forges I could though the levels quite easily. Still was motivated a lot to see each level (partly also because I liked the mood and wanted to see how the next level looked).
If I understood it correctly nothing from the last level took over to the next. I think it would have been fun if there had been some upgrades that you keep after multiple levels.
Ah also the placement felt a bit unintuitive in the beginning. I think previewing and snapping the buildings to the grid would have been easier :)
Anyway, all those 186461 gems for nothing haha.
Hahaha had a good bit of fun there. I guess my humor is very simple-minded. An endless fall is all it takes :)
@gaming-night @upcharlie @saerki We think your ideas of making it a mobile game sound really good. If you're interested in this actually happening, [kindly leave your email with us](http://eepurl.com/hwZ7qP) and we will think about it and let you know when we release :)
@todward @justinmullin @loig @ancient-pixel we hear you and we agree :) we are going to work on a mobile version. if you're interested [put your email here](https://agency.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ad7018d8f78d3642b22a60a8d&id=e948d38aeb) and we'll let know know once we release something.
@human-writes-code Thank you :) We actually wrote a small blog post where we outline where we started and how we ended up with this puzzle: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/depthscraper/how-we-ended-up-with-a-geometric-puzzler-called-depthscraper
@realkonstantin Yes we definetely would need to improve to keep players engaged longer. We are thinking of trying to adress this problemm and turning it into a mobile game: http://eepurl.com/hwZ7qP
@doot Thank you! :) We should probably make it more clear, but you also have limited moves and you need to complete challenges to now run out of moves. So there are 2 different game over conditions.
@jusw85 Thank you! Also thank you for letting us know. I think it's because we save your highscore to your browser session which doesn't work in chrome incognito...
@stefan-laimer damn, congrats! We never thought people would be able to score that high
@nitero Yeah we ran out of time to add auto-scrolling, I think that would have helped. Congrats for reaching TOP 100, it's pretty hard at this point :D
@guimoliveira 😂 We were waiting for someone to do this. Some how your score went missing though :wink:
@escapade Very good score especially for the first try! Each time you place something the size of the adjacent areas is added to the score. So yes to score high it's pretty key to have big areas. However we also found that placing conservatively can also be quite an effective strategy. So not hoping on your big area to get bigger but just fully focus on the task. :)
Nice game! Loved the character and it was fun to mine. For me the loop or needing to go back and recharge felt a bit cumbersome, I wish recharging would have been easier. At first I expected my capsule would fall with me if I remove the dirt below :)
I only managed to 10m, it was so hard to figure out how to swim. I feel like I kind of had it, but then I was feeling too frustrated. Still a very good take on the theme!
I really liked the characters and animations! Movement felt pretty cool but a little off, seemed like it was too "physics-based" and I was accelareting to much.
Good job!
really beautiful game! the ligh effect was so nice and moodye. good job!
Wow! I gotta be honest, during the first level I thought this was an okay-ish platformer. But then each level changed a bit. Visually I especially loved the second one with the parallex background, so beautiful. I also thought it was interesting to have this monster peaking while I was hiding behind bushes really cool!
I think gameplay wise this hiding + jump'n'run combination is really cool and I would love to see more of this.
Also subscribed to you youtube channel to see what you're up to in the future!
I really love how this game looks and the idea of going down the well is cool as well (*cough*). I actually didn't understand at wirst that I could still move the character after falling out of the bucket. When I understood it, it became a bit easier. But still very challenging! Fare well!
Reverse space invaders :D I wish I would have been able to defend myself against the creatures by shooting them haha. The first time I played it I didn't realize I could have slowed down, skipped the instructions I guess (oops).
Graphics-wise, I loved the little "U-Bot"! :D I would encourage you to do pixel art again next time and try to own/immitate that look. You could also try to limit yourself to a small color palette, there is a nice video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdXpUIATzO0
Cheers!
Edit: lol i didn't mean to embed the video like that, but somehow ldjam does that automatically
Damn I tried that second level so often haha. Took me like 20 tries or so. Really challenging good bit of fun! I really loved the tutorial level, how you showed me how to play the game. Often overlooked in ludum dare games and really well done with your game. Also love the concept of the game in general, it was a lot of fun!
I think in the end it was just a bit frustrating to control. I wish I could have one button for kicking, one button for picking up and one button for throwing. Howeve if those controls would be improved I would actually love to play the game more!
Love to see a puzzle game in Ludum Dare. :relaxed: On my first try I was so bad it was frustrating, but then I got the hang of it and enjoyed it! (Somehow I couldn't figure out the word "WHO" from "HOW" lol)
I like the idea with the daily play inspired by Wordle, so you can compare your results with other people. I wish it actually showed your highscore for the day somewhere!
I really like that you considered different input methods. That's often an overlooked aspect in game jams. It was very intuitive that you could either user the keyboard, drag the letters or click on the letters. But I think because it's so intuitive the text in the beginning wouldn't have to be that long and it would have been nice if the correct letters would have been shown directly on the word and not only in the word list.
Overall it's really cool game, I would love to see how the post-jam version would look like (a non-timed version would be appreciated haha)
Haha what a fun concept! Slashing and cooking, absolutely brilliant. Wish the first level started a bit easier with less enemies to deal with, but otherwise really impressive what you delivered!
What a cool and original take on the theme! Took me a while to get into the controls, but once I understood them it was quite fun. I still have to be honest that I didn't make it further than the third level with the spikes. I wasn't able to time the jumps well enough. But I think that's just because I'm not that good at platformers :sweat_smile:
I love the look and feel of the game with the pixel-art style and timeline. Also the soundsa and music fit very well.
@ayced You're the current record holder :trophy: :v:
@kromeboy Nice, I guess you just broke the record hehe, but we need proof :wink:
Yeah, unfortunately sometimes there are clipping issues..
@kromeboy Nice one! You're the new record holder. My best recorded time is 46.83 so I should try to beat it hehe.
@cobrajs Thank you for the feedback! :)
@ayced Wow! That was amazing to watch haha. So cool to see you "exploit" the throwing mechanism with the T-Shirt. @lexi and I need to try to beat this. This is way under our best times.
@fnelix Thank you! :)
@Thanks4AllTheFish I'm glad you enjoyed it :D We thought about putting the timer in the UI but then we didn't do it because we kind of liked tha it added to the game being hectic. However I feel like the game should have at least some warning for the last 3 seconds or so, so that you still have a chance to get back to the laptop.
@pusheeneiro Thank you :) and oh no, yeah I think that happens sometimes :/
Such a cool game! The idea is very original and it just looks and feels very nice. Incredible job!

Haha what a fun game! It was a bit too hard for me (because I'm on a trackpad not a mouse), but it looked really cool and it was really funny to move the hand and nod. So I still loved it :relaxed:
Nice and intuitive game play :thumbsup: Was really fun to play!
Haha oh my lord. The first time I needed to shoot some Freuds I was so confused, caught me by suprise :sweat_smile: Doesn't happen often in LDjam that you basically get 2 games in one. For a meditation it felt really hectic lol. Good job!
What's not to like about a game about kittens?? :cat: The intro was so lovely, the "voice actor" did such a good job :relaxed: For the game itself I wish it wouldn't cycle through the different tools by click and instead just have one button for each item to quickly use the right one. But otherwise the game play was very fun :star:
I liked the effects :relaxed: Took me quite a while to manage to finish the first level, but I like a challenge!
Love the art style, mood and music of the game! I'm really suprised what a complex game you delivered in such a short amount of time. Took me a while to understand the game play, but it was intriguing enough to spend a bit longer on it :) Good job!
Haha what a fun concept! Love the idea and seeing that pile of cards being distributed was very satisfying somehow. I have to admit that even on the easiest setting I still had issues against the CPU :sweat_smile:
I kind of wish that after each hand the CPU would reveal right away so you don't have to wait until the end to see how you're doing.
Very polished and beautiful game! Loved the little tunes and the humor of it as well. Playing the rhythm game itself was a bit confusing to me, I think more feedback for the player would defintely increase the fun of it.
You already got a ton of feedback, so I'll just say I really liked it :relaxed: I want to give a special shout out to the rewind animation haha
Your art is really beautiful, I love the color palette and style :nail_care: Unfortunately I'm on a laptop right now without a mouse so it was very hard to get far :sweat: I think since it's quite often that you get caught, so it would be nice if restarting skipped the intro automatically. Otherwise the intro was a cool way to introduce the game!
I really like how this game looks! Also love the basic idea and the progression with new machines added. For me it was overall a bit hard, maybe if newly produced products wouldn't disappear to quickly it would have been a bit easier. Or maybe I should just try harder haha.
By the way: I'm getting this error on Ludum Dare, but the link works. Screenshot 2022-10-05 at 13.44.58.png
Love the character and the cute looks :) I wish I would skate a bit faster though :snowboarder:
Hey :relaxed: So far I had a bit of trouble with most platformers that I played here, but I think it was mostly because it's important to get the movement exactly right so that it feels nice. The movement here feels spot on! (Only the wall jumps feel like they should be a bit easier)
Also it obivously looks very nice and polished :relaxed:
I think it would be cool if instead of finding the exit there would be some lanterns that you would collect :flashlight:
Looks really nice and the puzzles are fun! However the mechanics of building combined with the timer were a bit frustrating. Took me a long time on level 6 to figure out that you can only build streets on rails but not the other way around.
Otherwise I do think that you did a really good introduction into the game where the first level was very easy and you slowly progress into more difficult levels.
Haha that was fun! Sadly didn't make it until the ice world. I wish the movement was less jerky, but otherwise enjoyed it, especially the little arrow key mini game.
Screenshot 2022-10-05 at 20.10.40.png
Fun little tower defense game! Unfortunately on my computer I couldn't get it so that I see the whole game but I liked having to quickly decide between actions. The normal 10s timer seemed a bit easy, but in fast mode it was actually quite stressful. :thumbsup:
Really love the art style! I actually thought it was quite hard though, what do you think bout my highscore haha? Screenshot 2025-04-11 at 12.26.11.png
Super cool entry! Got really trippy in the end haha, love the humor. Somehow didn't really get how it worked but got it done anyway. Really well done!
@ordineu Haha I actually didn't remember there that Cartography was an option. Thank you for playing and posting your map!
@nef1k Nice! Would love to see your map :D
@chybby Did you back to the end where you can compare your map with the masters map?
@chybby Haha maybe, we thought about having some automatic evaluation. But we decided it's maybe enough if we just let people download and share their maps. Time-based challenge was def also on the map (pun intended).
@sangheli Spoilers, haha jk. Awesome, but the guildmaster wouldn't be happy.
@xwilq Haha thank you for posting this! One of those maps is def the most beautiful map we saw so far! I am not making any assumptions about who made which one ;)
@kuboi From what I know the TTP was 14 hours haha
I made it! I didn't believe in myself, but I did it haha. In the beginning I thought that I could slash spiders with my diggers, but then I realized that is not the case. Great entry :)
Screenshot 2025-04-11 at 12.13.13.png
This is so addicting! Is that based on an addicting game? I feel like if you expand this, people would just keep playing it :) I just loved dressing up all the miners and have them work faster and faster. I found it a bit tricky to put the clothes on the little miners moving so fast, but maybe there was also a better way to do it? Really great game, also very beautiful art style and fun little characters. Well done!
Muito bom trabalho! I missed the play button at first, but then had a blast. Love how the mood changes the deeper you go :)
Very cool concept! Love the way the levels look and feel :)
Love the art style! Also really cool idea to switch between different depths of parallax background. Took me a bit to get the hang off though haha
Some got away, but I gathered a little collection. Really creative and funny entry! My favorite was the buzzkill shark Screenshot 2025-04-11 at 12.40.48.png
Very beautiful art style and vibe in general. Love how you stuck to a theme and used it throughout the game including the jokes :)
The human didn't like my responses :( I think the idea is really cool and i loved the mood of it
Screenshot 2025-04-09 at 20.53.09.png
Played on my laptop without a mouse so don't have a great score. But felt really nice the movement with the music as well, very relaxing game. Liked it a lot!
Great theme interpretation haha
I really enjoyed playing this, great level design and difficulty. I loved the way I could repeat levels quickly. Took me many attempts in some cases, but I made it to the end :)
Spoiler of the end: [Screenshot 2025-04-08 at 09.20.39.png](///raw/9c2/2/z/6b464.png)
It's a very beautiful game, would love to see you turn this into a full game :) Thank you for explaining the backpack here
Love the idea for this one! I think if you tweak the pace and polish the graphics it would be an awesome game!
Haha what a great idea :D Tetris + Shooter really seems incompatible when you hear it, but the way you combined it is very clever!
First game I've played at this ldjam and it's super nice! The idea is pretty great, but I especially love how it feels. It's super juicy :)
Nice idea :) But I especially love the art style!
This is a pretty cool concept and it was fun to play! I also love your art style.
