LD55 — Summoning

Destruction Upon The Town! by Pannda 2024-04-17T01:23:52Z

Ravaging a small town with imps and goblins is pretty fun, turns out. I like the little voice sounds the guys have, they are very pleasant to listen to. After the first level I figured I could keep killing the unarmed ones for mana and it became almost a little too easy, but overall a very pleasant and fun experience!

The Warlock Mafia Owes Me Money! by HexyVexy 2024-04-19T00:13:42Z

Great submission! Found myself clicking until I reached the end. Really super fun and very balanced!

Great entry! I noticed the walk speed was framerate dependent though.

How To Rob A Bank (as a Wizard) by petitcoke 2024-04-20T02:58:16Z

Congrats on submitting! I noticed you uploaded a development build so I would recommend double checking for that whenever building so you do not accidentally ship a game that may be bloated with debug stuff. Other than that hope you had fun making it!

LD57 — Depths

Decender of the Deep by Remco 2025-04-19T22:49:24Z

Super interesting concept! The scaling was off when I maximized the window but apart from that the game felt snappy!

Down by Skyeward 2025-04-19T21:17:07Z

Super charming and the interactions were great! I think I would recommend finding a different way to make wobbly text because on some dialogues the constant font changing was moving the words around too much due the to word wrapping. Apart from that good work!

Very cool to see a text adventure game! Loved the atmosphere

Fear of Sea by UnidayStudio 2025-04-25T04:27:54Z

Controls feel great and the game looks amazing! I thought the oxygen mechanic deincentivised the searching mechanic a little bit, maybe making it drain a little slower would make exploration a little more enjoyable. But using your own engine is really impressive, good work!

Big Boom Bob by indegame 2025-04-16T02:56:35Z

Awesome art style and animation! The gameplay loop was pretty fun, I wish I had some active way to fight against the monsters besides waiting for a bomb to blow up on them. Aside from that, great entry!

anomalous source by GuitarBro 2025-04-23T05:57:25Z

What an impressive looking game! The gameplay was a little simple, but the lighting, sound effects, and models really sold the atmosphere!

Nine Lives Deep by Simon Rahnasto 2025-04-19T21:02:11Z

This was stunning and so polished! Well done!!

The Imptern by ChuChuGeralt 2025-04-22T01:29:14Z

Fun gameplay loop, thought it was a bit easy. Maybe having some sort of enemy that could shoot at the player would make standing in the elevator a little more challenging. Overall good work!

Squirrel swirl by rucksack 2025-04-23T06:20:33Z

Very addicting little tower defense! Got up to 261ish squirrels. Good work!

Enigmarine by Willby 2025-04-23T19:20:46Z

Super short but I liked it! Great sounds and atmosphere!

Red Finger by KenForest 2025-04-23T19:45:15Z

So polished! Good work!

Depths of Strength by Beeb GameCodeCompany 2025-04-23T19:11:27Z

I like the cartoony art style and I think the elemental training is super neat. I think this would make for an interesting strategy game. I wish we could see the opponent like wind up the arm they're about to throw that way we can choose which arm to block with strategically.

Anglerfisch by Arluci 2025-04-23T18:59:52Z

fish are so... crunchy

Planet Divers: XTREME Underground by Thunnus 2025-04-23T18:50:18Z

I really like how this game looks, all the effects work really well! I found the instructions and controls a little unclear however.

Timmy Dives by Timo5034 2025-04-25T15:01:14Z

Destroying blocks with like 13 lasers is so satisfying lol

Larrys Ducked-up Adventures 3 by Fatz 2025-04-19T21:38:15Z

I like the style of meshing 2D artwork with a 3D environment. I struggled playing a little however. The controls felt unintuitive and the enemies felt too fast or they would be out of view of the camera when they attacked.

Debt Bust by JAMESDEV 2025-04-19T22:24:18Z

@jake-g Thank you! The dice are completely physics based! each side of the dice has a collider so that when the die is in a resting spot, it checks which collider intersects with the table and then reports back the side it rolled on. It's a little rough and had I had more time I would've used math to determine which side is up instead because it would be more reliable than this current system. I posted the source code if you wanted to poke around

Into the depths by Perovic2018 2025-04-09T04:31:14Z

The mood and environment are awesome! The progression was not super straightforward however, I found it difficult to click on some of the items on the ground. Congrats on the submission!

BeastBound by pranav.cl 2025-04-19T21:26:19Z

I found it a little difficult to find time to make new items. Between looking for resources and killing the enemies, the time to craft stuff it very small. Also the music seems to layer itself and play twice when the scene restarts.

DepthBorne by I_POTS 2025-04-25T15:30:40Z

The game looks awesome, super hollow knight-esque! Like the others I thought the controls were a little unintuitive, especially if you have to be flipped the other direction. Also it's pretty hard, after a while i found myself getting less and less upgrades while enemies were getting harder to destroy.

Chips and Hell by Fantasia_imagine 2025-04-23T19:30:30Z

I really liked the art style! I felt the controls were a little clunky though. Maybe making the gravity stronger and having smoother colliders on the platforms would help with that.

Abimes by Kessel Nebula 2025-04-19T22:39:32Z

The artwork was so incredible! I hit a point where I was being reset a bunch and it took me a minute to realize it was the animals on screen that were resetting me so maybe I would recommend making them look a little more like a hazard. Apart from that, great game!

The Stairwell Anomaly by Alex Mironchuk 2025-04-22T02:10:36Z

Loved the atmosphere! Wished there was a little more gameplay wise, but I love SCP-esque stuff

Eraser by mars88 2025-04-23T06:36:37Z

I love the visual storytelling here, good work!

Animalia Memories by creekyasher 2025-04-25T04:39:13Z

The vibe of this is awesome! I loved the sound effects and the use of video!
