The Cleaner of the depth by Egor Iv 2025-04-11T19:46:20Z

I don't think every game is art, some just don't look good or feel right. This? This is a game but also a frickin piece of art!! The fact that you've managed to capture the essence of an adventure game into a single screen, a single mouth is just genius. Yes, the movement might feel a bit clunky, but who cares when there is so much to look at, so much to listen to and so much to experience. I don't really understand how you did it that this game made me feel the way I feel about it, it's just beautiful. The simple yet interesting enough game design is also really impressive. Thank you for this experience.

Coin Grind by jester1454 2025-04-10T20:34:03Z

This game is **really interesting**, in the best possible way. It seemed unlosable at first, gained some difficulty over a few levels but still remained kinda easy. But that is actually the best possible difficulty for this game. The **mining is SO SATISFYING!!** THE BOMBS, THE SHOTGUN, EVEN THE PICKAXE!!! The **coin physics** and **sounds** was also **on point**. The **movement feels so damn good**. Although it's "just" blocks, everything makes sense just by using simple colors, which makes it a really minimalist and simple **genius game**.

The music and audio is awesome and the visual style is really fitting. I also like the idea of being able to drill to a next layer, more free satisfaction! Really like the concept as a whole. Good job and thank you for your submission!!

Deep Exorcizing: A Poltergeist Cleaning Company by ThomasTournoys 2025-04-09T19:22:53Z

I really liked the music and the visuals, they create a really good mood. I also loved the perspective with all the 4 walls on the side of the rooms, that feels so original and cool. Altough I liked the exorcizing concept, I found it quite hard to get into the game. The movement feels kinda stuttery and the main "fighting" mechanic feels a bit shallow and also hard to understand (or maybe I didn't get it right :( ). However, I really liked the concept and the whole looks and feel of it, so that did it for me and I believe in future polishing! Thank you!

Dyamid by leorean 2025-04-12T10:02:46Z

Woah!! The game design is genius! I love the combination of puzzle mechanics using the character (the walk through screen sides) and the diamond mechanics. The audio is on point with this style and the visuals are really smooth and cool too. Thank you for your entry!

Cheese is the Reason by AXLplosion 2025-04-10T11:25:12Z

An awesome game. The sound and visuals create an extremely cool and original mood. I love the voice acting, it adds so much to the immersion. I also really like the controls/movement as it was really smooth. And the fact you've made this in 3 days is crazy, the rats and environment are so beautiful. I also got stuck in front of the cart in China town and had to restart but that definitely didn't affect my perfect rating. Thank you!

Sunken Secrets by BinaryPrinciple 2025-04-14T20:46:51Z

A very short game, but it was very fun! I really like your whole audio work, the submarine going, the beeping, even the shooting. The movement also felt good. The style and visual/models look cute and go well with the concept. I really appreciate that you didn't stretch the game too long to fit more fill content/unfinished mechanics and instead made sure to polish and complete a short fun good-looking game. Thank you for your submission!

Dwingles by Pomo 2025-04-13T22:35:22Z

Holy s**t this was intense! I really love the overall polish, the visuals and audio are 5 stars. It's fun and it's funny, 5 stars. The controls are a bit clunky but that's the point and also it's kinda hard lol. But still it's one of the best submissions I've played. Thank you for it!

Departments of Depth Corp. by reivilibre 2025-04-11T20:24:19Z

I cried so much but it was so much fun at the same time. Love the subtle audio, it adds a nice touch. The idea is really great and the department names are really funny. Also not sure if this is intentional, but the level design is so good cause I always follow the arrow but always get to a dead end and the department I have to get to is right behing the wall - this adds so much to the funny aspect because it feels so relatable. Thank you for this entry, it is awesome!

Sticky's Aquarium by Salaro 2025-04-13T22:12:12Z

W O A H !!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore your game. I'm literally giving this 5 stars like no other game. Insane. The fishing mechanic is simple yet effective. The loop is so fun. The art is beautiful. The frogs are cute as hell. The aquarium is satisfying. The bobber movement and gameplay is smooth and also fun. If I HAD to pinpoint something not perfect, it would be that the progression felt a bit "slow". But maybe that was because you don't see all your fish in the tank so I wasn't sure if there is a certain capacity or if it's just for aesthetic/performance issues, so I didn't know if I should fish more or wait for money. THE MONEY!!! I almost forgot, the money sounds, VFX and the mechanic of having to pick it up is a cherry on top. The music is also very nice. Thank you for your submission, giving you a follow!

In the DEPTHS by Planetary 2025-04-14T20:10:09Z

I really like the feel of the game. The controls feel really good and smooth and the movement is fun. I really liked the music and the overall look. I highly appreciate the customization feature!! However, the progression is a bit off. I went in blind without reading any instructions and for like 10 mins I couldn't find anything. Then I found coal spawning on walls, but that felt really grindy. I think this needs a bit more work but the core idea is good so just balance it more. I would also appreciate keyboard keys E and Q in game showing at their abilities, I think it wouldn't distract the player and would allow playing with abilities without having to read the manual. Other than that, I find the game really fun, mostly for its feel. Thank you for your submission and keep going!

Into The Abyss by Constance 2025-04-10T12:04:02Z

I really like that this is an original and clever take on a simple "falling game" that has been made probably numerous times. I feel like the falling is still the most important part but the digging part complements it so much. Thanks to that you don't really need anything else than the traps and the game feels full, complete and fun yet really simple and fresh. I do agree with some of the others that I expected the horizontal movement to be available at only 1 block height. I also think the jump is kinda floaty however, I feel like it was weird only on the surface and after that it felt like I have more free movement and felt better than if it was more snappy. I loved the visuals and the color palette you chose and also the details in the environment you added. Thank you!

Flatline by Empyreans 2025-04-19T17:05:00Z

I really like the weird setting and the graphics go with it well. Also, the difficulty is quite high, but it was nice figuring out each level by playing and always getting closer and closer to the actual solution. I kinda disliked the voice line repeating every 2-3 attempts, it was breaking my focus, but I just turned off sounds so it's no big deal. Otherwise, I find the game and it's whole concept really original and fun. Thank you!

BURIED by meylish 2025-04-10T11:44:24Z

Although I don't really like quick time events, yours are really cool and they felt real. They also always scareed me and I felt more immersed thanks to them. The rope physics/movement also felt real because it was a bit hard to control, but that was a good thing. I really liked the audio side with reverb and stuff, which made it more like being in an actual scary cave.

Echo-Of-Fallens by caffeinetrip 2025-04-16T21:39:19Z

I really like the mood your game sets from the beginning. I found the story really eerie and weird in a good way. However, I didn't really get the gameplay. I mean I've won, I think, but you only have to walk until you find the relics, then return and win, right? The atmosphere is awesome, the fighting needs a little bit more work but overall a really nice concept.

@transkuja @jnur @kuboi Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad you had fun!

Are you smarter than a fisherman? by Gerswick 2025-04-11T19:52:31Z

@amberfall92 @starl Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely try and tweak the difficulty a little bit so players can have a better experience. :)

Are you smarter than a fisherman? by Gerswick 2025-04-12T10:23:35Z

@adam-martin Thank you for your kind words! Glad you've enjoyed.

@ljol3 Thank you for your feedback! Many people suggest the difficulty is a bit too much so it definitely is a problem with the game I will have to tweak with a little bit. Again, thank you, I really appreciate you playing! :)

Are you smarter than a fisherman? by Gerswick 2025-04-13T22:25:58Z

@leorean Haha thank you, that's actually me doing this sound, could've been just a placeholder but obviously there wasn't much time to replace it, so it stayed. Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for feedbak! :)

@salaro Thank you for your rating! Really nice to hear you noticed the slight chaos later on, I was actually trying to go for that feeling. Glad you had fun :)

@skyeward I really appreciate the feedback! I will definitely try to balance that out and add maybe a few more fish variants to add more levels of difficulty. Thank you again so much! :)

@nomus Thank you for your feedback! I will try to account for that feeling! Really glad you had fun and posted your score. You actually did great, I didn't have enough time to play since the release but 21 is quite high at this difficulty haha. Thanks again :)

@caffeinetrip Thank you for telling me how you feel about the difficulty. I will definitely try to improve it! Glad you at least had some fun, thanks again! :)

@binaryprinciple Damn you know what's up haha! I really appreciate your feedback and I'm really glad you like the controls and the loop overall. Thanks once again for you very kind words! :)

Are you smarter than a fisherman? by Gerswick 2025-04-19T19:53:46Z

@aurel300 Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely tweak the behaviour, I didn't really have much time to think about the patterns thoroughly because of the deadline so I came up with these kinda elaborate ones that are maybe a bit overkill. Will look into it! Thank you once again!

@empyreans Glad you had fun! Thank you for your review and suggestions. I know about the wire bug and I even appointed some time to try and fix it but I just couldn't come up with why it happens in the first place so I just decided to leave it and hoped it wouldn't bother the players much. And thank you for your perspective on it, I think it adds a bit of goofyness to the game so I'd like to leave it, but on the other hand I do like my games true to the real world so I'll think about it! :)

MESSIER 104 CBH by kuboi 2025-04-10T11:08:59Z

It was an awesome experience. It's really simple yet so much fun. The movement feels smooth and the difficulty scaling on point. The sound design also really makes you feel like you're in space and the music, especially after the drop, is really bangin hard. Being able to track both score and time also is a nice touch. The visuals feel coherent and smooth too. Thank you!

Tumtrix by ohjuliego 2025-04-09T19:30:49Z

Firstly, thank you for the HTML embed, insanely convenient. Anyway, I LOVE IT! It's so simple yet so cool and fun. The real time movement of things I can perform with mouse feels extremely good and thanks to it the combos and rearranging of things feel meaningful and the right amount of strategic. The chilli pepper mechanic is a nice cherry on top of a fun game. And lastly, the digestion is sooooooo satisfying! Thank you!
