LD29 — Beneath the Surface

SUNK by GeorgeBroussard 2014-04-29T00:05:00

Wow! 63 seconds of sheer terror. My god, this could be the next Flappy Bird on mobile devices. So simple, but SO fun.

Refuge by MunkeeBacon 2014-04-30T00:22:00

It's hard to get five stars out of me. That implies sheer perfection. The audio was truly worthy of five stars. The game was fun too, this would do well ported to a mobile device. WOW.

Electric Sieve by ohsqueezy 2014-05-15T00:38:00

This game is hard man! But that just made me want to keep playing.

Digging up Daisy by Cake&Code 2014-05-15T00:47:00

Wow. The art was fantastic. I think the concept was pretty cool too. I will definitely come back to this game! Shit if I could I would buy this game!

The Sea Has No Claim by dukope 2014-05-19T00:30:00

This is an awesome game. Different, yet timely!

Submarine Simulator by Galan 2014-04-28T23:53:00

There was something creepy about this game, maybe it had to do with how I was expecting it to be just an underwater game, then there's evidence of a civilization down there, whoah. I didn't find the secrets though.

Advanced Cave Crawler by josefnpat 2014-04-30T00:09:00

I liked the music! Game was pretty cool too, it reminded me of the good ol' days!

Rocket Mole by Zathnic 2014-05-13T19:15:00

Controls were rough.

Ground control to major Tomashevsky by drnick 2014-04-28T23:55:00

The audio during the intro was good, I'm glad I didn't skip it! I had to play it a few times before I finally got it right (kept dying), but it was fun.

Without a Paddle by namuol 2014-04-30T00:04:00

This game feels great. It was a joy to play! I speared three sharks at once!

Seven Souls by BrothersT 2014-04-30T00:26:00

I love the visual style of this game. Can't wait for the post-compo version, looks like this game could have potential.

Skyboy by IonProgramming 2014-05-13T19:25:00

Music rocks! Control felt weird though.

Dolphin Dash by Zccc 2014-05-13T19:28:00

This is cool. Man make this a mobile game! The graphics are cute too.

Chassis Driller by Griz 2014-04-28T19:02:00

The graphics and sound were great! This could do well on a mobile device!

Playbuck by Ithildin 2014-04-28T23:58:00

I always wanted to play a rabbit and get busy! Good luck, fun game!

Eiradirian Wormfare by blay09 2014-05-13T19:16:00

I got to give props to anyone who posts a tutorial for their game. This was pretty cool.

Gubble Quest by Somfunambulist 2014-04-29T00:01:00

This was neat. Love the graphical style. Hard to figure out what to do at times.

Sinking Tower by eugman 2014-04-30T00:28:00

Wow, cool mechanic!

Beyond our World by Neonlare 2014-04-30T00:32:00

Pretty neat concept, the mood was awesome!

Space Driller by Mr. Jif 2014-05-16T13:42:00

Woah, I loved the sounds! The graphics were good too! Fun little game, I love the instructions as you go along.

Revenge (Ludum Dare 29 - Beneath the Surface) by Andrei Müller 2014-05-17T02:15:00

It seemed like there were two many bad guys on the screen at one time, other than that, pretty cool!

Sea Snake Escape by bvssvni 2014-05-13T01:01:00

This was cool. But please provide a binary next time. It makes it easier to play!

Mr Snails Fun Day Out by SenorDiablo 2014-05-13T19:18:00

This is a neat game.

Youdunnit by NightShadow0 2014-05-13T19:20:00

Well written.

Deus ex Submarine by Jod 2014-04-28T18:39:00

This was good. However, I felt like I didn't have any control over what was going on.

Organ Run by kunzbe 2014-05-15T00:40:00

Fun! The rotation freaked me out!

Dwarves Manager, NES Game by Khopa 2014-04-28T19:07:00

Ok, ok! This was the coolest thing ever! I think you're limiting your audience by making it a NES ROM. However that is a cool concept. Luckily I have an emulator! After I play some more games, I'm gonna check out the code, never seen any one build a ROM before. Shit I'm tweeting this!

Parallel by Cosine 2014-04-29T00:10:00

Unable to retrieve context string?

High Hopes by DesignerNap 2014-04-28T19:17:00

I'm glad I finally figured it out. You had to click on one of the people to play. Maybe I missed something. Other than that this game was decent. How were the graphics done?

Leak by ashdnazg 2014-05-17T02:20:00

Cool, I never controlled something I couldn't control before. Good idea.

Dozer's Gem Jam by PoQA Games 2014-04-28T19:21:00

Nice polish!

Beyond the Surface by Artylo 2014-04-28T23:43:00

I loved the graphics, and the sound effects were great. Control scheme took some getting used to. Might play better with a control pad?

Down the snail hole by oxysoft 2014-05-17T02:23:00

I like the graphics!

The Missing Potato by DragonMaster21 2014-04-30T00:37:00

Fun game, nice work with the lighting.

punk n roll by grozamorei 2014-04-30T00:38:00

Cool graphics and music! Finish it!

Amongst the Sand & Spice by ghostmaple 2014-04-30T00:41:00

Really innovative. Fun to play too!

Questionable Submarine by TheLastBanana 2014-04-30T00:43:00

Wow! Nice and chaotic. Reminded me of Homer Simpson. Fun to play, nice job!

Herbert Crawler by Ronin748 2014-04-28T23:46:00

I like the visual style, although it did appear a little dark on my monitor. The controls took some getting used to. The game exited on me when I got killed though, not sure if that's a feature or a bug.

Something Beneath the Surface (Sea's will) by Striwx 2014-05-15T00:43:00

I'm a sucker for doing something stylistically different with the art in a game. Plus supporting multiple languages was awesome. I think this game has some real potential.

Tiny Haunt by rojo 2014-05-15T00:21:00

This game was pretty cool. It might kick ass as a mobile game!

Louis and the Louse by Kerdelos 2014-04-28T18:42:00

Took a while to get the controls down, but this game was pretty neat. I can't wait to see where it goes from here. picture in picture was in genius!

Deep Down Beneath Us by Woo Sang Hwang 2014-05-17T02:28:00

I think the controls need some polishing.

Logiki by Move127 2014-04-28T19:25:00

The web link didn't work for me so I had to download the Windows version. I'm not sure how it ties in with the theme though. With some polish, this might make for a good educational game for an iPad or mobile device.

Trash Rolling Turtle by Tititesouris 2014-04-30T00:46:00

Nice message!

Zombie 3000 by sensenmann666 2014-04-28T18:44:00

More zombies! Seems slow to really get going, had some difficulties with the controls. Maybe with some better balancing, this game will be awesome!

The Danger Beneath Us by seantheartist 2014-04-28T19:27:00

Was this Game Maker? It was fun to play, controls were nice. I wish the difficulty would gradually increase, to get the player into the game more.

Strung Out by valid4life 2014-04-30T00:47:00

Finally, a fishing game!

The fight beneath the surface by Caridorc 2014-04-28T18:30:00

VOICE ACTING! Yeah! I wish there was more to the game play though.

Adventure of the anglerfish by BuddaKaeks 2014-04-28T19:30:00

The FX were cool! This is a decent game.

Lavarena by CrackedP0t 2014-05-13T01:08:00

Needed better instructions.

Pelican Challenge by Green Lightning 2014-04-28T19:33:00

I'll be honest, I was thinking flappy bird! This game was fun to play though. Very unique!

Germophobic by Phyllostachys 2014-05-13T19:08:00

First game? Woah! Great concept!

Clarity by aburkenstein 2014-05-17T02:17:00

Wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to do.

NecRobot by Zarkith 2014-05-13T01:11:00

Nice game! Fun to play, very polished. Well done.

Theres's a Twist by Lucio 2014-04-28T19:35:00

There's a twist alright! I kind of freaked out when it happened! This is a great concept!

It goes on by Xangotrick66 2014-05-17T02:30:00

Couldn't figure out what to do right away. Couldn't figure out the link to the theme either. I think it may have some potential though.

Ambassador to the Deep by misterwalter 2014-05-13T19:11:00

I kept dying! Pretty great concept though. I really liked the aesthetic and the audio you had going on here.

Folicular Rustling by 4sap 2014-04-30T00:06:00

Whoa trippy man...

A failed journey to the middle of the Earth by Balint197 2014-04-28T18:46:00

Multiplayer. I have to commend you on that!

Gasping for Light by chagroo 2014-05-17T02:32:00

Collision was off.

Deep Down by Cheetoturkey 2014-05-17T02:34:00

The music was freaking awesome. Controls didn't feel right and I kept getting stuck.

Living in a Kaboom submarine by copain 2014-05-15T00:44:00

There's a great game in here, it was just really difficult to play.

Diver by peejaygee 2014-05-17T02:35:00

With a little more time this would have been awesome! Keep working on it!

Badass Pinguin by theundeadwarrior 2014-05-17T02:36:00

Pretty neat!

dig up the treasure by ills 2014-04-28T18:49:00

Ok, I wanted to like this game but couldn't figure out how to play it, then I found the read me file. Ok, this is pretty cool. Level progression didn't feel right for some reason.

Lazor Fish by REDACTED 2014-05-17T02:43:00

Man, this was fun. It would have been more fun if there was some blood and guts!

TruthZone by eowindil 2014-05-17T02:44:00

The art work was awesome.

Ludvig by aslakhol 2014-05-17T02:45:00

This is a good start, keep it up!

DeepUnder by SuperMsp10 2014-05-17T02:47:00

I think the mechanic is there, just need some more time to polish it. Otherwise, this is a pretty neat idea.

Driller by Gunn3rboi 2014-05-17T02:49:00

Ugh, I think you needed just a bit more time. Drilling games seem popular!

Underground by abcd3901 2014-05-17T02:50:00

Ok, but repetitive.

Electro Jellyfish by peterlavey 2014-05-15T00:32:00

It was quick but fun!

Monster Caves by Strandmullen 2014-05-17T02:26:00

Neat. Really didn't get what was going on though.

Dungeons of Dragorath by killthealias 2014-04-28T18:54:00

I love Game Maker! I like the audio, it added to the game. I couldn't figure out the purpose though. So after milling about for a while I gave up.

Sound Jumper by Jeff0029 2014-05-13T01:14:00

Real trippy, but I just didn't get it.

Scary Ugly Face by Jonochrome 2014-04-28T18:23:00

I enjoyed playing this game! I really liked the sound. Sir Face, very creative. Are all the graphics hand drawn?

Clicking with the mouse and controlling with the keyboard was rough at first, but I got used to it and made the game very interesting.

Middle Management Hell by Hammervuis 2014-05-13T19:14:00

Man the sound was awesome, however it took a while to figure out what I was doing. With some polish this could be pretty cool.

Soul Catchers by hirngespinst 2014-05-13T19:24:00

Man the audio was creepy as hell. This was fun to play, but not sure about replayability.

PERCEPTION by LevieDAudio 2014-04-28T18:58:00

The audio is freaking awesome! The visual concept was nice to. However I felt like I was just going in circles and quickly got bored. However, great game, can't wait to see the next one!

Digging for Gold by JoshDBB 2014-04-30T00:10:00

Wicked puzzles!

Alien Buddy: Beneath the Surface of a New Mexico Landfill by Andrew Patton 2014-04-30T00:13:00

Nice!

Infection by InfectionTeam 2014-05-16T13:46:00

I don't typically hand out five star ratings, but this game was worthy in a few categories. This actually kind of has me hooked, wish I was laying on the couch, playing it on my Xbox One with a controller, I'd pay money for this (HINT HINT HINT HINT).

Cave by fueelin 2014-04-30T00:16:00

Good job on the procedural generation. It was fun to play.

RAW by ekun 2014-05-15T00:27:00

This was cool. I found the controls awkward however. I also had to kill the game via task manager. It needs a quit button. I can imagine how this game would be played with a control pad!

Homesick by jmf 2014-05-13T01:17:00

FUNNY!

Warpigs by sorceress 2014-05-15T00:35:00

Wow, you put a lot of effort into this in a short amount of time. With a little more polish this could be great!!!!

UHP Undeground Facility by 2A1S 2014-05-15T00:30:00

The graphics were awesome. However I did find myself getting hung up on some corners, possibly due to the collision detection.

Beyond The Surface The Chaos Rises by kibertoad 2014-04-30T00:18:00

Card games aren't really my cup of tea, but this was fun, and with a little more polish, I could see my self getting in to this. Can't wait for the post jam version!

MANIFOLD by microwerx 2014-05-13T01:35:00

Nice implementation of the quote. Had a hard time whacking the moles.

RoBroMiner by CiderPunk 2014-04-28T19:00:00

Really nice concept! I had fun playing it. This may do well commercially if you think about that direction.

The Oubliette Within by Dietrich Epp 2014-05-13T01:23:00

This was deep (no pun intended). I loved the look of the art, and the way the difficulty selection was implemented!

HolyDiver by Finn Stokes 2014-05-13T01:25:00

Difficult but it made me laugh!

gnome fortress by blubberquark 2014-05-13T01:27:00

Pretty deep crafting system. Can't believe this was done so quickly. Good job!

Treasure! by brodavi 2014-05-13T01:29:00

Wow, this would make a great mobile game.

Into the Abyss by kyyrma 2014-05-13T01:32:00

I liked the graphics, the sound was phenomenal. I really didn't get the whole camera thing or how it fit in. The control scheme was a little weird.

Beneath the Mushroom by Zer0XoL 2014-04-28T18:27:00

The controls were rough, but it was definitely unique.

The Meaning of Life by Pavel M. Dlouhý 2014-05-13T01:37:00

Cool concept.

Dig'em by ren 2014-05-13T01:39:00

Woah! This idea is awesome!

Tainted Pineapples by MisterDerek2 2014-05-13T01:40:00

This was a nice little game. I liked the music and graphics.

Introspectrum by solkar 2014-05-13T01:42:00

I liked the graphics a lot. Movement was very annoying.
