LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Dimensions by Tarcisiotm 2021-04-27T20:16:50Z

The character is so cute when it jumps \o/

Pretty cool mechanics, maybe a visual hint (like a different background color) would have helped to know which dimension you're currently playing.

With a more profound story and more levels I would definitely try again!

Journey To The Center Of The World by paulhocker 2021-04-27T22:05:55Z

Not something I would play for hours, but it was fun trying to get as deep into the core as possible.

I appreciate the effort you put in the art and the progress bar, it was a really nice touch.

Cute game. The planets, asteroids and music + FX create a chill mood.

The gameplay was interesting, although it could have been more.

Congrats!

Get Down! by picross 2021-04-27T17:45:25Z

Pretty cool game! Who doesn't like disco music? Throwing records was fun and intuitive. I didn't understand right away that the second disc you receive is not a more powerful disc, it's just that you now have 2. The difficulty increases at a perfect pace. Congrats!

I didn't get it. I collected some coal ore, brought it back to the ship, did this twice, and nothing happened. Did I miss something?

Nice art, chill music.

Like Shaolin Dave I was stuck on the first planet with the square close to the core, so I couldn't get farther.

Minelight by Joris Valette 2021-04-27T18:25:31Z

Thanks for the input everyone, I understand the controls are very hard to "get", I'll try to rephrase:

As the player you are inside the mine, looking at a wall. There are 4 walls around you, and you can look around by pressing Q or E, or clicking the top buttons.

The view is also focused on a single floor, which you can see with the purple outline.

You can rotate the selected floor around you by pressing A or D, or clicking the left and right arrow buttons. Doing so will connect or disconnect pipes.

You can also select the upper or lower floor with W or S, or clicking the up and down arrow buttons.

Finally, you can **place mirrors on the junction tiles** by simply clicking on those tiles.

**If you don't place any mirror there is no way you can get to the 6th level.**

I hope this helps. We could have added more hints or animations in-game, but we're just programmers so it would have been tough.

And congrats @evogengames for managing to get to the last level, we know it is quite challenging! :D

Space Grappler by Duvey 2021-04-27T18:04:36Z

Nice game, I had fun moving around asteroids with the grapplers, once I understood I had to go towards the light. "Use the light of the goal to guide the way" is a bit confusing.

Definitely something worth expanding!

Nice game! Couldn't manage to finish it, but it's quite fun. I liked the mood. There's a bug btw: when you die and you go back to the main menu and click continue, you're stuck in the level with no character, and can't exit.

Stranded on planet zod by Pixelipy 2021-04-27T21:12:56Z

Liked the mood of the game. The spaceman jumping animation is nice. Shooting behind is not possible, and I don't know if it's voluntary or not, but it doesn't feel intuitive. If you did it all by yourself, congrats, the graphics are pretty cool!

Deep Space by DrYuri 2021-04-27T21:30:09Z

Cool game. I had fun avoiding all those weird things coming at me.

I liked the space theme and the music.
