LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Dante's Harvest by Wakobu 2021-04-29T17:59:23Z

Alors pour commencer je m'appelle Virgile. Merci d'avoir fait un jeu en mon honneur. Plus sérieusement l'ambiance est là, le jeu est dur, j'ai à peine le temps d'aller tabasser des morts que je perd déjà que le chariot est déjà prit d'assaut et les tour, bien qu'elle ne coutent pas cher, tiennent trÚs peu longtemps, pas assez, en comparaison du "risque" pris. Donc manque d'équilibrage. Sinon, les asset sont top, surtout fait main et animés donc un travail impressionnant. Petit problÚme sur les déplacements qui ne sont pas normalisés apparement, on avance bien plus vite sur l'axe horizontal que vertical c'est assez perturbant. Le concept en a sous le capot, ça m'a rappelé BoxHead pour le cÎté vagues d'ennemis/tourelles. Beaucoup de belles perspective si vous décidez de poursuivre le développement. Bon courage !

Dante's Harvest by Wakobu 2021-04-29T20:58:07Z

@wakobu Juste au cas oĂč, vous avez prĂ©vu de continuer le dĂ©veloppement ?

Dante's Harvest by Wakobu 2021-04-29T21:22:18Z

@wakobu Ok merci pour ta réponse, bonne continuation à vous !

Going Down by omer1615 2021-04-29T16:41:40Z

The main idea is gold ! Controls are hard to figured out at first but finally it works. The global mood is here, coherent and really original among the many games of the jam. Maybe a lil bit too repetitive. Awesome overall work, with a cinematic, really, well done !

dark mind by batiali 2021-04-29T17:02:19Z

Love the art, nicely done, coherent and pretty, work perfectly with the sound design. I'm really not a fan of idle so I've been really confused at the beginning asking myself "What do I do ?" and finally I understood. You should probably look for a mechanic to force the player to do something before it becomes automatic, I reached 25m depth without doing nothing special. So, to sum up, awesome art, gameplay is smooth and it's obvious code is clean but gameplay can really be more attractive. Keep on good work !

Fluid game mechanics, easy to use, graphics are good and challenge is here ! Pretty awesome

The Before Times by UkuleleFury 2021-04-29T17:38:19Z

Felt like Tim Burton making a film about his confinement. Graphics are really good, don't know if you done all of it yourself but it work pretty good with the atmosphere. Felt a bit too much stuck a loop rather than going deeper. Even if it's clear that you worked on the "introspective" way of translating deeper and deeper, it felt more like I was going higher and higher with lights increasing, music and at the end the call finally happening. Very well done ! (PS : I'm pretty sure each of level we are teleported at the beginning of the scene and lights values increases but you should find a way to make this imperceptible)

Super Mole Racing by Mastoast 2021-04-27T02:18:34Z

Really fun to play ! Graphics are coherent and beautiful, really good retro game mood ! Awesome work, physic works so well, it's challenging and fun !

Callisto by Rawb 2021-04-27T02:43:03Z

Capture d’écran 2021-04-27 à 04.39.16.png Had a really cool feeling, the mod is awesome, was ready to spend hours diving into this clear blue water but unfortunately got bullied by the shark, it might be a lil too much agressive. Fantastic overall experience, really impressive work, sound design fits perfectly with situations and mood ! Good job :D

Callisto by Rawb 2021-04-27T03:04:56Z

@rawb That's what I though happened but still an awesome project, well done captain !

Deep into the Volcano by JoelChrono12 2021-04-27T20:44:32Z

The overall work you put into this is awesome, artistic direction is coherent, player controls are challenging like the jetpack, it's not that easy to use and sometimes you can take a better path using jump to save fuel, it feels like I'm bipolar, be fast or be dead but think wise or be dead, that kind of stuff, love it !

The power of the deep by Tris250 2021-04-29T17:15:21Z

Bon je trouve l'idĂ©e d'Ă©changer de la vie contre du buff trĂšs moyenne, Ă  la limite ça ferait plus de sens si le power-up donnait un debuff fixe tant qu'on a pas trouvĂ© un autre power-up ou encore le power up pourrait avoir un timer. L'idĂ©e des tableaux qui changent est bonne, donne du rythme et du lore au jeu c'est trĂšs cool. À approfondir ! Bon courage pour la suite

Get Down Mr. Lucifer! by Trungler 2021-04-27T01:53:00Z

Scythe teleport mechanic is good but a little tricky to use. Drain health is good idea too, might be a little broken in my opinion. Good overall mood tho

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:06:05Z

@impbox Many thanks on your feedback, it's in fact a unique looped hand-made level but we aim for the procedural generation, you got it for the camera. We'll think about it in the future ! It's in fact a reboot project since one of our teammates lost his cat. Glad to hear you still enjoyed it.

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:06:36Z

@maximegammaitoni Thanks dude !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:10:02Z

@ethanthopkins Many thanks for you feedback, it puts a smile on our faces after those rough 72 hours !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:12:45Z

@jesse-j-jones Thanks a lot ! We really aimed for the atmosphere in first place, but we know there's a lot to improve, we'll take your feedback into account for future improvements !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:13:59Z

@impbox What doesn't kill you makes you stronger *flash from Vietnam incoming*

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:26:09Z

@cheese-team Happy to hear that ! Doesn't reflect the weekend overall mood tho, we have many things on our list to implement in the future ! Thanks

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T02:32:04Z

@starling Thanks, glad you enjoyed it !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T17:00:19Z

@villanelle Thanks on your feedback sir, it was kind of a challenge to create something simple but entertaining, glad to hear our goal has been reached !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T17:03:47Z

@bauke-regnerus Thanks for playing it, and yep, we already think about improving many things, implement procedural generation and other "biomes" is one of the feature we target !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T17:04:28Z

@almighty-games Thanks on your feedback ! Really appreciated :)

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-27T17:22:12Z

@joelchrono12 Hi there ! Gonna upload a Linux build on itch.io asap, would be glad to have your feedback since we cannot try it out ourselves :) Thanks for your comment !

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-28T17:31:56Z

@nun-chuck Thanks a lot for your feedback ! Yeah controls may need a rework in the future, those a really basics controls. About the sonar, of course it may evolve but our goal was that we didn't want the player to know too much about what surround him, we will try to think of ways to improve the way it's done while keeping that idea intact

Abyss by Pandalk 2021-04-29T20:59:40Z

@louhol Thanks for your feedback ! That's good idea, we'll keep your comment in mind for future improvements !
