LD57 — Depths

Captain Death by Sarah 2025-04-10T21:20:35Z

Took me quite some effort to understand how to play even with the lengthy tutorial which is a shame cause the game looks cute! Not very clear at first that you have to click inside of the angle wheel to confirm your toss. Also I feel like you cannot really get any fish without upgrading first (seems a little counter-intuitive). Music is chillin'

The Cleaner of the depth by Egor Iv 2025-04-08T12:27:51Z

Love the idea, love crocs. Figured out the gameplay after a little trial and error but it still feels a little stiff. Gorgeous watercolor style!

The fact that making mistakes during the rhythm minigame (and feeling bad for it) echoes the character journey and trauma is a banger idea.

The themes of depression and abuse are tackled quite skillfully and in good taste.

Both minigames are engaging and everything end up being a cohesive and very enjoyable experience.

There is just the right amount of dialogue and story, even if I feel the game ends a little abruptly.

Art is charming and dreamy.

BRAVO

Icebreakers! by npckc 2025-04-08T11:51:51Z

I wasn't really enraptured by the story but the adorable art kept me going as I wanted to see more! Music is on point. Such a neat package, BRAVO. (Daisy is indeed cute and cool)

Not Too Deep by Crak 2025-04-08T12:14:48Z

@dubiousduck @badpinkchicken great suggestions!

Brigador under the sea edition

I wish garages where a bit more visible, but maybe that's just me

I really like the idea for the refilling gauge combat system, pretty cool! The art is inspired, music is very relaxing yet a little eery, overall a very moody experience!

Loot Well by retonymy 2025-04-08T16:24:22Z

This is really fun even tho it becomes kinda chaotic halfway through!

OMG, this is just gorgeous. I was in awe walking through the poolrooms and stumbling upon the manta ray scene. Love the nod to BioShock. Sound is top notch except for the walking under water noise which gets annoying quickly. I only understood that shaking objects were not just a style choice but a mechanic after reading your comment, even with the little tutorial prompt. Maybe some more hints to teach the player would be nice.

Very inspired gameplay-wise, congrats on the level of polish delivered considering the size of the team!

Call Hector by Crak 2025-10-15T07:16:41Z

@threeli there are links to our respective itch pages on the game page (the itch one). Thank you sm for your kind words!

Call Hector by Crak 2025-10-15T07:22:19Z

Nvm I just understood what you meant, there's a link to Loic's personal page on the Bloub team page!

KOLLECTOR by MakoTeam 2025-10-13T04:24:20Z

This is so smooth, I do wish there was a bit more to combats cause it already felt great to play with just punches. Maybe a block and a kick. Great art and soundtrack.

LD59 — Signal

LD59 SIGNAL STRIKE by GARYglhf 2026-04-21T12:23:28Z

I'm doing my part! Very nostalgic of many flash games I used to play. A little sad I couldn't access the upgrade menu.

SIGN ALL by VertSight 2026-04-21T12:15:41Z

It's quite simple but I really enjoyed the mood on this one. This is what I see when I try to sleep with a debilitating fever.
