LD48 — Deeper and deeper

The Limbo Runner by jk5000 2021-04-26T16:57:50Z

I like the voice acting! Fun game

Rock Monster by Myko 2021-04-26T00:22:30Z

Interesting concept and very satisfying to break the blocks, especially when you fall through several. It started somewhat difficult but ended up being too easy when there was a lot of gold and rubies. Great game!

Tic-Tac-Run! by mvasko2 2021-04-27T19:05:02Z

Simple, but fun and very challenging, I enjoy these type of runner games. I like that you implemented a public leaderboard which makes it worth going for a higher highscore! Also great soundtrack!

MineWell by superpokeunicorn 2021-04-27T23:18:34Z

A great combination of satisfying animations, nice art style and solid sound effects. Finally a miner capable of mining the block above as well. Well done!

DeeperDeeper by japes 2021-04-26T21:44:57Z

Very intense game! I wonder what the most optimal strategy is? Seems like just a few kicks does the trick for getting into the 30's. Good job!

Depth Orb by cogcomp 2021-04-28T20:37:55Z

Nice game and cool intro screen. It was satisfying sound effect and feedback when hitting enemies. Lovely soundtrack! I wish the jump pads had different color so it would be easier to recognize them. The movement was a bit too quick and made some spots a bit difficult because it required precision. Great entry!

Doug: A Miner Drilling Incident by aaants 2021-04-27T19:14:07Z

I love the intro and smooth transitions. You're able to make a lot of interesting gameplay with simple mechanics and with one input, brilliant!

Gurk's Tower by monkeybit29 2021-04-26T18:59:49Z

Great graphics, nice sound effects/music, fun hack and slash game. I didn't find the dash so useful because it dashed too far and I had to run back towards the enemies again. Overall a great game!

Depth by SaraJS 2021-04-29T18:25:54Z

Very challenging, I'm a big fan of these kinds of falling games. The art style is very nice and somewhat trippy. At times it was a bit difficult to get through obstacles because it was a bit tricky with the collision particularly the small openings near the edges. The soundtrack gives a nice ambience and the sound effects are fitting. Great entry!

Flood Fill Miner by Baturinsky 2021-04-26T17:11:21Z

This is one of my fav from this LD48 so far. Very satisfying and I enjoy these types games.

X Feet Under by morphine 2021-04-26T18:17:26Z

Very fun game mechanics

My Little Tree by chuckeles 2021-04-26T15:33:18Z

Very enjoyable and relaxing! Gj

Into The Depths by Erk 2021-04-27T16:06:03Z

Fun mining game. Not sure if it is a common occurrence but I got stuck while the upperpart of the mine got filled up and my ladders got stuck in it.

Into The Depths by Erk 2021-04-27T19:22:39Z

@erk No problem, good luck!

Deeper And Deeper by hypp 2021-04-26T16:51:34Z

Interesting graphics style, I enjoyed the music. A bit easy having the map available all the time, maybe only allow limited use instead? Overall great job!

Deep Miners by dimaswift 2021-04-26T18:24:41Z

Very satisfying and great looking! Nice one!

Asquid by Omid Ghavami 2021-04-26T20:20:23Z

Nice abstract game!

The Forgotten Halls by vfqd 2021-04-26T21:34:53Z

Wow, a lot of nice work here! Love the graphics especially the cloud/smoke. Great job!

Dream: The Temple Within by dominikscholz 2021-04-27T23:12:32Z

Great art style, I love the small hops to move around. The sound effect of shooting and hitting enemies are very satisfying (Would like some sound effects of hitting the boss). The boss was challenging and fun to fight against. Great job!

Hell Diver by MacDoom 2021-04-27T19:09:32Z

Very challenging but enjoyable with nice & trippy graphics! Maybe lower the sensitivity and add a second delay to the first obstacles would help a bit. Overall great job!

Madman - The Crazy Scientist by mudlee 2021-04-28T13:43:21Z

Very nice art style, great soundtrack and sound effects (Especially the police siren). For some reason I wasn't able to move around although the move animation played, so I was stuck in one spot and had to wait for people to pass so I could hypnotize them (Windows 10). Very interesting and unique take on the theme. Great entry!

Deep into the mine by BubakGames 2021-04-26T15:02:02Z

Fun game, I enjoyed the reload animation! Good job

The Deep Web by William Corrin 2021-04-28T18:46:58Z

Lovely cyberpunk/neon art style, the soundtrack is a banger. Very fun map design, especially with the jump pads. I would prefer maybe a different acceleration sound as it gets a bit tiring. Great entry!

The Depths of Science by Trusty 2021-04-28T13:56:00Z

Fun shooting game, a bit difficult with mouse sensitivity on html even when adjusting sensitivity. The monsters was very freaky and had solid animations. The ammo was a bit scarce, but I was able to finish the game with that in mind skipping some enemies. A great entry, gj!

Club U.G. by kr0s 2021-04-27T21:43:41Z

Getting some "The Stanley parable" vibes from this which is nice. I like the music it feels like it fits well for the style of this game. I think it would've benefited with a little less floaty movement, it was hard to get on the green moving platforms since they moved so fast. Overall good job!

Greedseeker by Esosek 2021-04-26T16:42:57Z

Very fun puzzle game! I really enjoyed the pickaxe throwing to dislodge rocks mechanic. Great job!

Ixcar'th by Zliebowitz 2021-04-28T00:40:38Z

A very enjoyable hack and slash game. Nice animations, art style, soundtrack and boss design. I had a lot of joy fighting these bosses. I would like the map to be smaller to spend less time walking in empty areas. Great entry!

Just Dig by TwoWolf 2021-04-28T15:21:07Z

Very fun and cute game, especially the animations (Especially the jump animation)! On of the better soundtracks I've heard in this LD. Also I like how it is not just simple square textures but more like terraria tiles. Great entry!

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-27T08:54:23Z

@paroxysmal Thanks! Green was probably not the best color to choose, maybe purple would fit better. I'm surprised more people don't use Unreal Engine for these jams.

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-27T19:43:21Z

@mvasko2 Thank you for the great feedback! Yeah music would've added a nice touch, and I should have made the dangers more obvious and clear for the player. :)

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-28T11:14:00Z

@mudlee Thank you! I appreciate critical feedback so that I can learn from this. Dodging bombs will be more difficult as time passes, but I can see how it might be boring to play and that I should've probably have added more interesting game mechanics. I will try and spend more time on light setup and not use default Unreal settings next time! Thanks!

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-28T11:24:45Z

@littlegamer Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed the bomb flash to "light the way" feature. I originally made the red bombs light at all time but figured it was more enjoyable when it only lighted up in its last moments but also allowed the player to escape it. Also glad that you enjoyed the "Pushing bombs into holes to make it blow a nice path" game mechanic.

It seems like a common feedback that I've made the white missile a bit too difficult by not giving more hints about it's path, and maybe should've slowed it down as well. I got used to the blue light and dodging away from it but I recognize that it might not work that well especially for people that have difficulties with color vision.

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-28T11:37:10Z

@cheeks Thank you! Yep, the missiles should've definitely been made more clearer as I've noticed from these feedbacks!

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-28T20:31:55Z

@cogcomp Thanks for feedback! Glad to hear you liked it. I should've probably added some short tutorial at the beginning showcasing the different bomb types and what to do with them. Yeah, the ramp up should probably have been slower maybe with different difficulty modes.

Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-30T21:47:20Z

@blue-pin-studio Thanks! It seems like I made a big mistake with coloring a bomb green... my bad!

@testudor Thanks! I'm very thrilled you found the red bombs creepy!

@fonics Thank you! If I spent more time on it I would've probably have added difficulty modes.

@lazzor I was considering particle effects, but that would require me to learn it first :sweat_smile: . I agree having bombs fall straight down might be a bit dull in the long run. Thanks for great feedback!

@linky439 I was hoping making the game darker would make the bombs more visible with the lights they give off, but it seems like that didn't work out too well. Thanks!

@stephenwhoskins Thank you, that means a lot!

@shaunjs Thank you for the feedback on stream. I was hoping the darkness would add some "Depth" by not letting the player know where the red bombs fell until they lit up in its last moment (I wanted it to add a bit of a creepy mood). It was very fun seeing someone else play my game, and I think you do a great job giving everyone you review fair and honest feedback!

@guimm12 Thank for reporting the bug, I've had it several times but I decided not to spend time fixing it (Me lazy), also it was very similar to "dying" so I figured players would just instantly press restart or something.

Center of the Earth by Firekeeper Games 2021-04-27T23:31:24Z

Interesting concept, solid art style and nice sound effects. It was a bit difficult and not sure if I've understood the break through the ground mechanic properly. I was able to reach level 2. The bounce mechanic seems a bit inconsistent.

Beaver Submarine by cagibi 2021-04-26T15:17:36Z

Fun game I like moving around the submarine to steer it, a bit difficult to manage when the sub is rotating.

Darwings by Solweak 2021-04-27T19:37:35Z

What a brilliant game! Very beautiful and soothing ambience. I like the memory/remembering aspect of it. Here are my pictures: darwings_01.PNG darwings_02.PNG darwings_03.PNG

Cave48 by Sergeech 2021-04-27T21:33:45Z

I like the laser mining mechanic, but I think it would be nice if the ores depleted and it was spread out so you would have to look around for them a bit more. Also I think it could've been sped up a bit.

Mind Depths LD 48 by LittleGamer 2021-04-27T23:24:07Z

A very unsettling game which I love! I'm not sure if it was intentional to interact with the same object more than once since I first just interacted with the bed until everything degraded and looked like a nightmare. Solid art style and very fitting soundtrack! Good job!

Buried Deep by Paroxysmal 2021-04-27T18:57:22Z

Very enjoyable to play, and very nice pixel art. Sometimes the coin was a bit difficult to pickup, maybe have slightly bigger collision would help. Good job!

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-28T00:01:41Z

Good sound and art style. The throwing mechanic was a bit difficult but fun. Interesting take on the theme. Good entry!

Deep Space by Crazy32 2021-04-27T19:48:08Z

I'm a big space fan so I particularly enjoyed the spaceship design, it reminds me of the space shuttle. I think you have a bright future in game development Raja, keep up the good work and you will go far for sure!

Nostril Navigator by Xenon27 2021-04-26T20:14:58Z

Funny, and difficult

My Dentures! by Luc-creationallabs 2021-04-28T18:53:22Z

Nice art style, great concept I feel like you made something unique here with the move 3 steps and then go down a level and the shoe item. It was a bit confusing at first but I started to get a hang on it which made it a lot more fun. Great job with this one!

Subterrene by SamarthMP5002 2021-04-27T22:59:26Z

Nice art style and a very fitting screen shake effect, although I wished the shake was more toned down. 263m was the lowest I was able to go until I hit an invisible wall. Great entry!

The Hidden Unknown by CubeX 2021-04-28T15:29:18Z

Interesting and unique mechanics which is nice. Maybe map the right mouse button instead of E would be better, so I don't have to move my hand across the keyboard, but not a big deal considering you aren't supposed to spam it. I wish it was smoother to move around the rocks as I often got a bit stuck in the rocky walls when moving around. A solid entry, great job and good luck on your future projects!

Survive in the deep by txanevk 2021-04-26T21:05:26Z

Nice artstyle and cool wavy effects. Big fan of Construct game engine.

Pix'in' by DancesWE 2021-04-28T15:16:26Z

Cool and trippy game, and solid art style. Was a little bit disorienting to move when not on the top part. Great entry!

Platforms Overlord by progdamn 2021-04-26T16:37:08Z

Very cool concept and looks nice. A bit diffcult but might just be me playing badly. Good game!

Be Queen by Cody Miner 2021-04-27T19:19:18Z

Interesting and unique concept. I like the artstyle! Gj

Deeper Fishing by Thoastbot 2021-04-27T23:42:21Z

This feels quite nostalgic for me, especially the sound effect reminds me of an old point and click game I played when I was a kid. The simple art style as well. Fun, challenging and you wrote a good tutorial imo! Great job!

Deeper Fishing by Thoastbot 2021-04-27T23:42:21Z

.

fallen_down by iuunno 2021-04-28T00:14:22Z

It was a little bit therapeutic/relaxing. Maybe have the sigils placed randomly and a fail state, but that would take away from the relaxing part I guess. Nice entry!

Dash To The Core by GreyBeetle 2021-04-27T19:25:07Z

Fun and challenging with nice artstyle and a good sense of speed. Maybe adding some time extending items to pickup would add an additional layer of gameplay depth? I was able sometimes (thanks to good RNG) to boost all the way until timeout.

Dig Deep by GiantWaffle 2021-04-26T00:44:08Z

I enjoyed moving around the drill pod and interacting with switches and buttons. Fun and fitting sound effects. Music is a bit repetitive but overall fine mixed with the failure soundtrack (Since I often failed). Very "fun like anxiety" having to maintain the drill pod power and heat. I wish there was more vibrant color/texture for the ores. Great game!

Nestence by guimm12 2021-04-27T18:59:58Z

I love the different scenery & artstyles. Fun and unique mechanic jumping in/out of the tv with keys. Smooth platforming with the movement. Great job!

The Camera Is Watching by Pink Spaceman 2021-04-28T00:23:30Z

Cool concept! Solid art style. It was very challenging. I wish the path the robbers would take was visible so I could more strategically open the doors. Good entry, and good luck with further projects!
