LD48 — Deeper and deeper (46)

It's All Connected! by yambone635 2021-04-27T12:41:57Z ♥ 1

This is a very interesting idea! I think it shows a lot of promise.

Once I connect two articles and type in a word I can't change the word and the add new article button stops working. Am I missing something?

Keep up the good work!

Dwarf Deep by aevek 2021-04-27T12:17:10Z ♥ 1

What an amazing game with deep gameplay and cool mechanics. It's impressive that you did this in 48 hours.

The controls could be improved imho. My biggest pet peeves were when I am pressing the move horizontal key and I'm in mid air I get stuck to the wall so I have to release that key and press it again. Also climbing the ladder back up to your ship should be easier. I'm being picky here.

Keep up the good work!

Deep Voice by mdotedot 2021-04-27T11:37:15Z ♥ 1

Nice to see someone else thought of deep in terms of the voice! What a cool mechanic I like it!

Keep up the good work!

Fishing the Deep by DDesignDude 2021-04-27T10:56:04Z ♥ 2

The game has a polished presentation and a tune with a catchy melody. I also love the pixel art graphics.

Great job on getting this done in 48 hours!

Titan Spear by Zackavelli 2021-04-27T02:58:04Z ♥ 1

Now that is a very cool game! You must have game jam experience it seems like it was the right mix of mechanics and polish. Nice graphics and sound and gameplay and all possible within the allotted time. This game is a great success in my opinion!

Keep up the good work.

Recursive Repairman by Bipmo Bopmo 2021-04-27T02:51:23Z ♥ 1

Your recursion mechanic is really cool and I think it definitely has potential. Great job on getting this done in 30 hours!!

Diamond Hands - YOLO Edition by diaonic 2021-04-27T02:38:11Z ♥ 1

Nice slot machine game I like it!

Keep up the good work!

Light 'em Up by Deseteral 2021-04-26T23:01:23Z ♥ 1

Your game is very fun! Congratulations on getting this done in 48 hours.

I enjoyed the art style and the mini map was very cool as well.

Keep up the good work!

Search and Resque by Hilvon 2021-04-26T21:58:48Z ♥ 3

Very cool game! I like the destructible terrain. I think you are on to something with this idea!

48 hours isn't enough time to make a game but you did well!

Keep up the good work!

Pix'in' by DancesWE 2021-04-26T21:51:32Z ♥ 2

What a cool game! I was originally planning to make a tunnel game like this but I decided against it. I'm glad I left it to you. It's basically a 3d maze which is awesome!!

Keep up the good work!

Way Down We Go by Slowfrog Again 2021-04-26T21:40:44Z ♥ 1

I love the pixel art and the water changing colour, and of course the awesome ocean themed music.

I couldn't figure out how to not blow up 😢

Keep up the good work!

Wilford - Deep Underground by BattleCat 2021-04-26T21:29:49Z ♥ 2

Great game starring a Wombat.. we need more wombat heroes!!

I love the retro style graphics and the music. We both know that 48 hours isn't enough time but I love what you have done.

Unfortunately when I press the down arrow key my browser window scrolls down and then the game disappears... so yeah that makes it difficult to play. Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong 😢

Keep up the good work.

Deadlift by slimabob 2021-04-26T21:13:03Z ♥ 2

Your game looks amazing! I love the post processing affects and the colours. You set an amazing mood. Did you do the voice overs yourself? They sound super clean.

Unfortunately FPS games are not my thing and I couldn't even get past the first crawling green zombie guys (they do look amazing though)

Overall a great job given the time constraints.

I also love the quotes from famous game sites... that kind of humour is right up my alley!

Keep up the good work!!!

Mullet Time by Lajbert 2021-04-26T20:57:08Z ♥ 1

Ok where to start... first of all the theme is awesome... not sure if Mullet Time is a play on Bullet Time, but even if it's not it's still awesome.

You wrote your own engine??!!? The first thought that comes to mind is WHY?! But I remember when I started we had to do that, it's just that today you don't need to, you can use Unity for example. Still I commend you for learning what it means to actually make a game engine.

As for the gameplay, I can't get past the first set of flames after I get the jetpack because I use the jetpack and instantly die. I just can't control it for some reason.

And when I die I am forced to quit the game 😢. That's not exactly user friendly. :-(

Also the video settings don't say saved when I am forced out of the game because I died so I have to redo them every time I play... frustrating!!!

Having said all of that you still deserve a 5/5 in my book for having written your own engine!

Now you can take my advice or leave it... if you want to actually make games, then you would be serving yourself greatly to ditch your own engine and just use something like Unity... you will be able to dedicate all of your genius talent to just making the game instead of fiddling with crap.

Keep up the great work!!!

The Reverse of the Summit by squigglez 2021-04-26T18:31:41Z ♥ 2

I love the retro pixel graphics! Nice booming sound track. Combined with the mouse controls makes for some great twitch game play.

I really want to be able to do something with my loot 😢 or am I missing something?

Really great job and keep up the good work!

DeepTris by hilkojj 2021-04-26T17:48:22Z ♥ 1

Very slick presentation and good take on an old classic!

Very well done for a 48 hour project.

Keep up the good work!

Help! I'm trapped in an arcade factory! by negabyte 2021-04-26T17:02:53Z ♥ 0

I like the idea it's very cool! You play arcade game in an arcade factory and the graphics are the same. I think there are some very interesting mechanics to explore.

Keep up the good work!

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-26T16:55:53Z ♥ 2

Very nice!

I love the pixel art animations. And who doesn't love parallax scrolling?

You did a very fine job for only having 48 hours. Keep up the good work!

Geocnetric Go! by appix 2021-04-26T15:58:08Z ♥ 1

Good job for 48 hours of works!

I couldn't quite figure out the microphone thing but the idea is very original!

Keep up the good work!

Deeper Into Technical Problems by thesambassador 2021-04-26T15:55:49Z ♥ 1

What a great game you managed to make in 48 hours which we both know isn't enough time 😢

I liked the mechanics and gameplay overall.

Keep up the good work!

Where did I Bury It? by GlowGlew 2021-04-26T15:52:29Z ♥ 1

What a great game you managed to make in just 48 hours!

I like the retro graphics and cut scene. The variety in objects was good. I also liked the simple upgrade mechanics.

DIG IT UP (Deeper and deeper) by RufusDrop 2021-04-26T15:46:08Z ♥ 2

Great job on making this game in 48 hours. I love games where you can purchase items to upgrade your equipment!

Sometimes the simpler ideas are the best.

If you continue to develop this game I would like to see more upgrades.

Keep up the good work!

The Final Journey by kernon 2021-04-26T15:39:04Z ♥ 1

Great job! I love the mood that you set in this game. 48 hours isn't long enough to make a game 😢 but you managed to pull it off.

Keep up the good work

Turnip Brothers by oysuta 2021-04-26T15:34:24Z ♥ 0

I like your game. It's a good example of making something fun out of simple content and mechanics. Keep up the good work!

Blue Square and the Mystery Cave by asdehielo 2021-04-26T15:27:14Z ♥ 1

Congratulations on completing this in 48 hours. This is probably the best game I have played so far. Great work on the mechanics, animations, sound. Everything is solid!

We both know that 48 hours isn't enough time to make a game 😢 but you did a great job.

Keep up the good work!

Grotto Down by xtacobaco 2021-04-26T15:20:55Z ♥ 2

I really like your game! I think it has promise even though we both know that 48 hours isn't enough time to make a game 😢

The thing I like the most is the minimalistic approach to the controls.

If you are going to continue to develop the game I would say keep the grappling hook mechanic but also add to it in some way as you progress... maybe limit your ability to use it at the start or make it able to blow up walls later... something like that.

Keep up the good work!

Lava Runner by ShaggyFox 2021-04-26T15:15:15Z ♥ 1

Hi very nice game! I like the theme and the gameplay.

My only complaint is that you have to wait to dig down while the screen scrolls. We both know that 48 hours isn't enough time to make a game 😢 but I think you are on to something here!

Keep up the good work.

A Deeper Love by developtolearn 2021-04-26T15:10:37Z ♥ 0

Great job on a classic style of game .. the text adventure!

We both know 48 hours isn't enough time to make a game 😢 but you did admirably.

Keep up the good work!

Madman - The Crazy Scientist by mudlee 2021-04-26T15:06:57Z ♥ 2

I really like your game. Great job on getting it done in 48 hours, which we both know isn't enough time. 😢

This is a game I would explore developing further as I think it has potential.

Keep up the good work!

Spelunking Simulator Pro 2022 by roryh 2021-04-26T15:01:03Z ♥ 1

Very cool game! Congrats for getting all of this done in 48 hours!

I'm being very picky here but it feels like the hit box on the guy is a little too big, i.e. I die sometimes when I haven't quite hit a spike.

Great job overall and keep up the good work!

Diving Bubble by thesnide 2021-04-26T14:56:54Z ♥ 1

Hi!

I really enjoyed the game and there are some interesting mechanics here.

My only pet peeve was that I couldn't get the game to restart once I died... I tried pressing every key 😢

Keep up the good work!

LLYULANG by Scienitive 2021-04-26T14:53:54Z ♥ 1

Hi! I like the idea of your game and combining a beat em up with a top down scroller with a timer.

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to beat the second enemy and so it was difficult to progress. 😢

Keep up the good work!

Tower of Darkness by Benjamin123 2021-04-26T14:49:43Z ♥ 2

Hi! I couldn't play the HTML 5 version as there was an error in the website. 😢

I would suggest hosting your game for free on itch.io and joining a large community of creators and players!

Press "P" To Fight The Final Boss by justking144 2021-04-26T14:48:06Z ♥ 1

Great job on completing the game for the compo!

I like auto battlers and your game is fun.

We both know 48 hours isn't enough time 😢 but you did well!

The Cavern Of Madness by Nature Studioz 2021-04-26T14:43:01Z ♥ 1

I liked your game. Simple but solid controls. Nice enemy interactions.

We both know that 48 hours isn't enough time 😢 but you did a great job.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Seven Sleepy Nights by Osterzone 2021-04-26T14:31:05Z ♥ 1

I love the pixel art in your game. It's also a very interesting concept.

48 hours isn't enough time to make a game 😢 but you did it.

Great job!

Jupiter Drop by plexium.nerd 2021-04-26T14:06:13Z ♥ 1

I enjoyed your game! Obviously the game play is very simple but I like the idea and the graphics and environment.

48 hours just isn't enough time... 😢

Great job!

Micanthul by alexhall 2021-04-26T13:47:54Z ♥ 1

What a great game! I love the theme, story, and graphics. It's amazing the content you were able to generate in 48 hours. Good job!

I think there should be some kind of risk / reward to camping. Maybe there is but I didn't see it.

Obviously 48 hours isn't much time to make a game but I think you have a great idea here.

Great work!

Deep To Hell by Jacky Chan 2021-04-26T13:42:35Z ♥ 1

I like the concept and the theme, good choices!

I couldn't figure out what to grapple to or exactly how it worked. 48 hours isn't a lot of time to make a game from scratch 😢

Good job!

Snoopin Around by Madorly 2021-04-26T13:40:06Z ♥ 1

I thought it was a great idea to merge a point and click adventure with a countdown timer. The concept opens up some possibilities.

As we both know, 48 hours just isn't enough time 😢

Overall great work!

Deeper Into The Asteroid Belt by Jump in Jon 2021-04-26T13:37:36Z ♥ 3

I like the game a lot. It's a cool take on an asteroid clone turning it into a side scroller.

The mouse controls were also cool and felt responsive.

As you know 48 hours isn't very much time, but the game looks promising!

Great work!

Deep Sleep by dikopr0s 2021-04-26T13:35:11Z ♥ 1

I liked the cinematics they really set the mood.

I think there is an opportunity to make a lot of cool dream based content here. 48 hours is not very much time.

Good work!

Dig Deeper by adam077x 2021-04-26T13:27:07Z ♥ 2

Great Motherload inspired game! I really enjoyed it.

The fact that you have to manage your resources adds a strategy element which I really like.

The game was a little jerky at times on my machine. You should check out Unity I think it probably outperforms Java for making games. And C# is very close to Java.

Overall a very good job guys!

Forge Dig Forge by MoLa0404 2021-04-26T13:06:41Z ♥ 0

The game isn't loading on itch.io through HTML 5.

I had the same problem using Unity. You can fix it by turning off compression in the player settings at the bottom.

Dig To The Core by pirate_pie_develops 2021-04-26T12:52:38Z ♥ 1

This game is really fun! I love the rogue lite elements and upgrades. Good job!

Descend by DevParty 2021-04-26T12:34:21Z ♥ 1

For Unity I had to turn off compression in the Player settings in order for it to work on itch.io WebGL
