LD57 — Depths

Lovely, Dark and Deep by randomhuman 2025-04-17T20:37:48Z

I love this. The art, the atmosphere and the humorous sarcastic tone. The game play could have some extra feature to make it a little less repetitive. But overall I had a good time with this game, thanks =)

Inner Worlds by ryusui 2025-04-17T19:59:05Z

cool idea. reminds me of games I played as a kid.

Hyperspacedive by marudziik 2025-04-08T06:47:50Z

Well done! That hyperspace is hypnotic =)

"Jammy" Bolt Digs a Hole by kroltan 2025-04-18T22:08:11Z

fun game. I find it a little annoying, that one needs to click so often to dig.

Kika's Eggsplosive Descent by kazuo256 2025-04-17T19:35:28Z

Very nice game. I like the simplicity of the controls. It's super fun and super addictive. But very challenging as well. The graphics are very nice and the audio fits perfect. Well done!

Where's My Pants?! by gamesplusjames 2025-04-09T12:29:58Z

I love this game very much! (The embedded version didn't work. The game didn't load after hitting start)

Li-Buried by Jordanfb 2025-04-10T20:59:36Z

Nice concept! It took me a while to figure out, that I can dig. The overall idea is great. Finally some time to read :)

Dantes Descendants by elZach 2025-04-11T12:32:44Z

Very nice entry! I spent already a lot of time customizing my character. Great feature =).

V.O.I.D — Voice Of Inner Depths by 2009yasha2009 2025-04-10T20:45:28Z

I like the look a lot. With the right audio the atmosphere will be great! It took me a while to figure out what to do though =)

The Cleaner of the depth by Egor Iv 2025-04-08T12:26:30Z

I love the art and sound design! I had a hard time playing though. One time I fell out of the screen and couldn't get back. Cleaning the teeth was fun but I've been eating very quickly =) (ah, I just read the description :P maybe it would be good to make it clearer that one should avoid the sick teeth)

Scavenger Deep by hope42morrow 2025-04-14T20:56:41Z

This looks incredible. The art is very well done! I am really impressed! Thanks for sharing!

How the Moon Got Its Colors by Carraka 2025-04-11T19:26:54Z

Very relaxing game play. The cows sound great :)

Wrinkles by OadT 2025-04-14T19:51:39Z

great game! very nice interpretation of the theme. Very funny and quiet tricky. Add a little bit of audio and it would be perfect =)

An Angler's Light by Yorsh 2025-04-24T20:03:31Z

I really enjoyed this one! Unique and cool idea, very well executed! Very polished too. The music and sounds are nice. I had a good time playing, thanks!

Wyatt & I by Untitled Studios 2025-04-25T20:52:57Z

Great entry! I love the art, the music, the voice acting. The piano ending is fun :) Really enjoyed it. Thanks =)

A Quest To Bear by Fis 2025-04-17T20:08:45Z

Very polished game! Well done! The soft learning curve was very well implemented. I wished the last levels were a little harder. Overall very nice game!

Diggin' Deeper by gquibao 2025-04-13T19:10:47Z

Very nice game! Well done. The further down I came the more nervwrecking it became :D The graphics are great.

Descent Protocol by fingolfin 2025-04-13T19:57:36Z

The graphics are really nice! The general atmosphere is very cool. It's fun to control a giant drill :) But I only managed to find one minigame (Which looked pretty good, too). I like the world and the general setting is great. There wasn't much gameplay though. So a lot of potential :)

Piranha Frenzy by mremmele 2025-04-14T20:38:43Z

I love the art and the music! It's also fun to play. The upside down dead piranhas are hilarious. The jellyfishs always got me though :D

Diva Descent by Quackqack 2025-04-09T12:38:00Z

pretty addictive =) graphics and sound are superb!

Journey to the Centre of the Ocean by GoogleFrog 2025-04-10T20:32:34Z

Super addictive!

Handbag Havoc by fnelix 2025-04-13T09:13:22Z

Well done! I really enjoyed the visual variety of the levels. We had a somewhat similar idea for our game — it's funny to compare the two! I'm really impressed by how you managed to add so many levels. I had a little trouble playing it with the mouse (I think someone else already mentioned the issue), but it worked pretty well on mobile. 😊

Stealing the Captain's Family Jewels by Str8griz 2025-04-17T19:50:43Z

Well done. Very funny voice acting :) I had trouble getting to the first checkpoint. afterwards it became easier.

Vanity Check by NoNumbersGames 2025-04-13T20:32:31Z

The first time a Psychiatrist ask me if I'm insane I denied. But that changed quickly :D. Well done!

Lockpicks-11 by suvi 2025-04-19T20:19:21Z

Wow what a nice game! The intro is great. The music fits so good! I enjoyed it a lot. I had to was caught a good amount of times so an option to skip the intro would have been nice. But then again it's so cool, that one can watch it several times =)

Used To Be by Heiden.BZR 2025-04-25T19:53:08Z

The mood is very well set! It's fun to use the room rotation mechanic. Well done!

Twisto the Anteater by MTabasco 2025-04-19T20:04:13Z

Very fun take on the theme! Enjoyed it =)

Photo Pro Papparazzi by Martta 2025-04-09T12:05:13Z

Nice take on the theme! I enjoyed playing it :)

MS Drowning by Anton Florey 2025-04-18T13:52:49Z

Cool! Very polished. Fun to play. I like the "start diving" animation including the sounds! Well done!

Deep Dish Pizzagram by Thoastbot 2025-04-24T19:38:41Z

Very nice! It took me one pizza to understand whats happening. Then it was a lot of fun =) Very well done! It's always time for pizza!

Scares on Schedule by python-b5 2025-04-10T21:32:23Z

I love this game! Graphics, music and sound all fit together very well. It's a little hard though. It took me ages to succeed in hover. But overall a great game!

Into The Deep by clymm 2025-04-08T20:02:32Z

love the guitar!

The Minotaur's Maze by maxkaemmerer 2025-04-18T22:00:26Z

Very fun game. It took us a short while to figure out the signal mechanic. Overall we had some funny rounds chasing through the maze =)

Pogo-Lift by Patatje 2025-04-11T19:34:20Z

Fun game. It took me a while to understand how to make use of kicking the enemies. I enjoyed the jump animation a lot :)

Welleyes Goodboy by Roroto Sic 2025-04-25T10:04:52Z

It looks cool. I also like the sounds. I had the same issues with the game play as mentioned by others before. Maybe a progress indication on the tree stump would be nice (like getting more and more destroyed). Anyways, I think I need a game boy cartridge writer now :P

Anglerfisch by Arluci 2025-04-10T21:09:44Z

Well done! I enjoyed just swimming around the beautiful environment and switching my light on and off. That's so funny :D It was very hard to find enough fish to eat. In one of the secret hiding spots I somehow managed to get under the sea ground (a bug I guess)

Scampi by apoly 2025-04-11T19:54:28Z

Very nice. the slow game play combined with the relaxing sonar music make a very relaxing experience. I think the pixel art graphics don't really match in size which give the graphics a little inconsistent feel. But overall a very nice entry!

From Oblivion by Norah 2025-04-24T20:21:49Z

Wow! Well done. The mood is set perfectly, and the voice acting is spot on!

The Adventures of Wormington by Logan_Core 2025-04-14T19:41:02Z

Very nice game! It was already so much fun to dig around and collect the coins =) The key was very well hidden. Maybe it could be a little shorter. But overall a very fun experience. thank you!

Excapade by Ch48 2025-04-13T20:14:10Z

Well done! I like the concept. It felt a little too easy though. It was very easy to avoid enemys and when I encountered them, it wasn't very hard to defeat them. But overall a very nice entry!

The Fall by Teist 2025-04-14T19:14:31Z

Well done! The aesthetic is really cool.

Down Under by TheLastSlowpoke 2025-04-25T15:00:37Z

That was very funny! add some silly sounds and it would be perfect =) I love the kangaroo emotions :)

Kind of deep waters by 7uc4s 2025-04-08T06:57:51Z

Well done! I like the upgrade possibilities. The sea mine explosions and the style of the enemies are great too!

Cat in the dark by MadelineF 2025-04-10T19:52:02Z

Really nice mood! I love the map :)

Home is where hell is by Anderson Job Loeffler 2025-04-14T20:01:27Z

The art is great! I think it is a little bit frustrating, that one has to start from the beginning all the time (although with this short length it doesn't matter that much). Art, storytelling and music are really nice! Well done!

27°59′17″N 86°55′30″E by Akinat0 2025-04-09T12:16:00Z

The game looks beautiful! A little easy as was mentioned before =). But I still enjoyed the atmosphere and the style!

Lone Digger by The Spinning Sofa 2025-04-17T20:20:04Z

My mouse is on fire :D Nice game. The monsters are a fun twist that I didn't expected. the art is very nice!

BeastBound by pranav.cl 2025-04-24T19:54:17Z

well done. I would have liked an idicator to the crafting hut.

Infernal by jachymthegoat 2025-04-08T19:42:25Z

fun to play :)

Ruby Hole by Aleksey4adoff 2025-04-15T09:10:25Z

Well done! That game kept me playing for a good while. I enjoyed the overall mood. The storytelling and graphics are great. I love that board game tile character. I wished there were tiles that have paths and mushroom fields. I always had some "impossible to fill" holes, which wasn't pleasant (but also outcome of my own stupidity :P). Overall great! =)

Deep Truth by Emily C 2025-04-08T20:12:57Z

Just great! :D

What the bag! by Mamboman 2025-04-15T08:26:29Z

@librory thank you very much! @everyone thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it and it pushes the motivation so much!

What the bag! by Mamboman 2025-04-18T13:33:30Z

@tryam @borabee @carraka thank you! We definitely wanted to integrate more levels. The time was too short though so we decided to prioritize polishing one level over designing more. Maybe we'll add some extra levels after the jam =)

DungeonDescent by thisyc 2025-04-14T20:18:43Z

I like the aesthetic of the game. It felt a little hard. I died quiet quickly because I faced a lot of skulls and not enough swords. But it still feels very pleasant to connect stuff and open chests :)

Echo Depths by Slyz 2025-04-08T19:55:54Z

Well done! It looks great. I love the little blue guy jumping around. The scanning mechanic is a cool idea! Good job!

Where Stars Forget Your Name by Vladcfg 2025-04-08T19:47:27Z

I enjoyed the music carrying me into space! some sound effects would really boost the experience =)

Life&Depth by Jacky San 2025-04-10T21:42:54Z

Well done! The graphics are amazing!

Devour by ScoobySnacks 2025-04-14T20:29:58Z

I love eating those dolphins :D :p

Ad Light by jtap 2025-04-13T19:40:25Z

The game looks very nice! It's fun to play aswell. I enjoyed playing since the atmosphere and style is very well done! I love the angry angler fishs :)

Record Depth by Indiealesha 2025-04-09T11:58:00Z

:D :D very funny!

Down The Rabbit Hole by Doppler Affect 2025-04-10T19:40:33Z

Nice entry! I enjoyed reading it. The graphics set the mood nicely but leaving enough room for your own imagination =)

LD58 — Collector

Suck! It! Up! by Hjalte 2025-10-24T20:29:01Z

very nice entry! I love the art, the sounds and the music. It's also very fun to play! thanks for sharing!

Autumn Apples by Cambryx 2025-10-07T12:45:35Z

I love it! The art is great. the mood is very nice. when i first started, i was annoyed by the slow progress while picking a apple but it made all sense then. The animations are very good! I really enjoyed it when the juice press went crazy fast in the end :D The surprise at the end is pretty good =)

Overemployed Empire by JOrbits 2025-10-09T11:33:18Z

I love every aspect of this game! unfortunately i was constantly distracted by work while playing :P Very well done! Thanks for sharing!

Mechmories by Shess 2025-10-24T19:40:29Z

The graphics and the overall mood are great!

Broke Custodian: From Dust Till Display by outstar 2025-10-09T20:45:38Z

The overall vibe is very nice! I love the graphics.

PirateCopter by ruben01 2025-10-19T18:37:14Z

That was really fun! I like the simple gameplay and the art and story behind it is very adorable!

TeamSquirrel LD58 by fritzendugan 2025-10-24T19:55:29Z

very spooky with the light and all. I liked the atmosphere! =)

Outward by chuckeles 2025-10-07T20:08:21Z

Very nice entry! I loved watching the little guys doing stuff for me. It took a while until I understood, that I can click anywhere and that they will do whatever they can at the specific location. Obviously it's not really a game yet, but I really liked the atmosphere and giving commands to the funny guys. The look is very nice!

Veggies Clash by Yorsh 2025-10-07T19:01:33Z

Such a nice game! I was never able to collect all 150 Pokémon. But now my dreams are fulfilled by at least collecting all vegetables :D It took me quite a while to beat the teacher. The other battles where pretty easy though. I really understood the rules only in the last battle I think. Overall great entry! Thanks!

Weight of GOLD by Maxwell3000 2025-10-07T12:08:48Z

well done! I think the theme is interpreted pretty clever. It's a very good idea that collecting stuff makes you weaker. Forces some interesting decisions between taking the coin or leaving it for an easier exit. Is it generally possible to collect every coin and still make it to the end of every level (certainly not for me :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)?

Hottentottententententoonstelling by Wouter52 2025-10-24T13:18:19Z

That was fun :) Very charming voice acting! Well done!

Gobblin' Günther by Crygos 2025-10-09T18:58:31Z

Funny idea that the stuff is bouncing around in the backpack and falls out easily. I ended up with -10 gold though. I'm a clumsy goblin I guess =)

Fair Trade by Puuukich 2025-10-09T20:29:05Z

looks very polished. I very much like the art style. I think I did not fully understand what I was doing but still enjoyed the different scenes =)

Full Marbles Universe by Norah 2025-10-09T20:03:39Z

Very nice! I like the character design and the overall look and feel! The marbles are nice and made me want to collect more of them! Well done!

Call Hector, Organ Collector by TheLastSlowpoke 2025-10-13T19:16:55Z

evil but fun =). It took me a while until I understood, that i can move the light with the mouse. Well done!

Duckollector by ghettobastler 2025-10-13T09:42:31Z

Very very nice! I got very addicted to that game. I love the graphics and the audio. The game play is really fun. It's maybe a little hard to lose all coins and a day if you got hit but on the other hand it makes you think about what kind of upgrades to buy when and what amount of money you need to catch therefor in the next round. Overall a great game! Thanks for sharing!

Mushrooms by PieRo_PBeS_studio 2025-10-13T19:05:47Z

Well done! Very realxing, just what i needed right now :D. I love that every mushroom is animated in the collection screen. They look very cute.

Debts & Dragons by Syphorce 2025-10-19T18:28:15Z

Very nice atmosphere!

Garbage collector's minion by Mibi88 2025-10-24T14:38:37Z

very nerdy and very fun to play! It took me a while to understand what to do. I think the instruction made me think it's more complicated, than it actually was :D Overall well done!

I Want to Have a Bike by Anderson Job Loeffler 2025-10-07T11:57:12Z

Very nice! I loved it in the moment when the player got up from the chair and started idling in the rhythm of the music (which is very nice btw). It was a bit hard for me and then the freeze time when restarting was a little annoying. Also that, when I made it to the last gap with super jump power, and faild the jump (which i did multiple times :face_palm:) I lost my super jump power and had to go back (maybe a bug?) was annoying. But in the end I got a bike which is great :slight_smile:

Mutiny's Last Reward by DubiousDuck 2025-10-09T19:45:49Z

very addictive :D

Stamp Collector by Mamboman 2025-10-28T08:57:27Z

@wouter52 thanks a lot! We're very happy and very surprised =) @all thanks for your kind words and good feedback!

DRUNK HUNT by Jacky San 2025-10-07T19:53:36Z

the sound and the graphics are great! it's also very funny =) It's getting very hard in the end and when replaying, the first levels seem very easy and then it was impossible for me to pass i think the fourth or fifth level. But overall a very nice entry!

The choice is yours, Orc! by GARYglhf 2025-10-09T19:09:05Z

well done! very pleasant experience. The orc in the lovely pink and blue environment is priceless =)

Drunkink by voidsrc 2025-10-19T18:50:11Z

nice idea, well executed! The art is so great! Very well done! Thanks for sharing!

Bug Driver 3D by Reaktori 2025-10-13T19:30:25Z

Very nice entry! The bugs’ voice comments are hilarious! In the first round, I thought the goal was to kill all the bugs :D To be honest, that was fun too! =)

The Squirrel by darianifakina 2025-10-24T13:06:19Z

Well done! I like the simple but effective game play! The squirrel is cute =)

Goblin Lord's Dream by Ira Baciu 2025-10-07T12:30:57Z

Nice take on the theme =). I liked the squishy guy in the third game.

C-C-Collector by Discomorphine 2025-10-07T19:22:49Z

Nice entry :) i love the little story and the cut scenes :D I also enjoyed the solving the puzzles. controlling the box was a little annoying though. The art is very nice although i think its a little bit of a style mix. I love the alligator in the bottom left and the intro and outro drawings

Wishdom Teeth Pact by Ali Enver Sevgi 2025-10-07T19:39:00Z

The art is very nice! It's a funny idea that fits the theme well. =)

Violet's Home by l6ria 2025-10-07T19:45:00Z

very cute =) the graphics are so nice!

LD59 — Signal

Operation Alien Translation by Sheepolution 2026-04-21T21:05:55Z

Well done! The art and the storytelling are really good, I love the way the little guy is typing. Took me a while till I figured out what to do but then it was really fun!

Bons Baisers de Roquebrise by Kerdelos 2026-04-24T09:27:49Z

Well done! I especially like the story telling and the overall look and feel of the game!

Waiter Waiter by block97 2026-04-24T08:31:07Z

Very nice take on the theme! Reading the description was already fun and playing did not disappoint :D I had a hard time solving the "draw phone puzzle" (in the web version). Other than that it was very much fun. I think i found the love of my life!

The Sound Store by Jejkobb 2026-05-01T10:15:48Z

really nice game! I love these guys coming in :). The combined signals were very hard for me to solve. Overall a great game!

Effigy of the Sky Lords by Purrseus 2026-04-23T22:01:39Z

Around-world :D that was funny. I love everything about this game. I already started typing a comment after finding he OK ending but then went back to find the other endings and did not regret it!

Enigcremental by Spiced Pigeon 2026-05-07T16:10:17Z

very satisfying. I like the sounds and the graphic. You should make a playdate version of this game :D

the_Core by remusnomos 2026-05-07T14:40:56Z

Nice game! I love the "color dots in the dark tunnel aesthetic". Reminded me of water slides =).

Crossed Wires by Zigtalk 2026-05-07T16:32:08Z

Very nice! Fun little stories :)

Pawn Patron by deformhead 2026-04-23T12:18:54Z

Very nice! I enjoyed the art and sound a lot. Also very nice puzzle that keeps the brain busy. It took me a while to understand what to do though. Overall very good =)

Lighthouse Diaries by Tomssuli 2026-04-23T21:15:48Z

Very nice! The art in the cover image catched my eye and i was very happy, when the kraken appeared in the game =). I like the lighthouse game play. I didn't hit a thing with canons though :D.

Dragonia Siege by Euler Moises 2026-05-07T14:57:13Z

the vibe of this game is very nice! I love the music. Overall a fun little game :)

Lights of the Living Dead by Madbarron 2026-05-07T16:45:19Z

Great game! Very fun to play, graphics and audio are spot on!

Blackboard Eraser Arcade by Loig 2026-04-23T20:30:48Z

Very nice little game! First I was quite confused with the explanation but it was very clear when actually playing. I think in the first round it was helpful, that the first couple of levels had only one symbol. For replaying the first levels were a little boring. Overall I liked it a lot!

On Ivy Boulevard by python-b5 2026-04-23T10:56:55Z

Well done! I really enjoyed the look and feel of this game! The mood and the overall vibe is set perfectly. It was very challenging though. I might have had an easier time if i could have observed the scenes a little longer. But overall i liked it a lot!

Beep Beep Until You're Rich! by dagon 2026-05-01T10:00:52Z

Very nice take on the theme! It was really fun and relaxing. Enjoyed it! Addictive!

Smoke Show by Crygos 2026-04-23T20:47:03Z

smokin hot game! :) it took me a few rounds to find out how to play but then it was a lot of fun!

Warden of the Depths by Alex de la Cour 2026-05-04T12:57:35Z

cool game! First the controls felt a little clunky to me but after a couple of tries I got used to it. Very hard for me but I played neither with a controller nor am I very good at platformers. The graphics are so nice!

We need to send a signal: you are not welcome here by ZombieWalrus 2026-04-24T11:49:52Z

nice game! I enjoyed playing it. I like the look of the monsters. the driving beat in the music created a nice flow while playing.

AGENTS RHYTHM & RAID by Nadia Pixel 2026-04-24T08:51:34Z

Very nice entry! I really like the art and the gameplay. It would be nice, if there was a sound effect, when one get hit by the enemys. i was sometimes surprised, that i already lost :D Overall very nice!

Signalmons by Portalis 2026-04-21T12:34:56Z

Very nice game! The art is beautiful and its pretty addictive! I didn't understand that I could replace my Signalmons with the signalballs, too. The sound and music is also pretty nice. Overall a very nice entry! Well done!

Mama Duck Hero by runningopenloop 2026-05-01T09:42:26Z

Very cool concept! I played with my kids and we managed to keep two ducklings alive =)

Twilight Bark by Capreola 2026-04-21T20:40:49Z

Very nice game! The dogs are adorable! I found it quite challanging (had to use the solutions for 2 or 3 levels) but overall it was really fun! Thank you for sharing!

THE SIGNAL by Mark Swinimer 2026-04-24T08:18:20Z

The atmosphere is great! I had fun playing it, thank you =)

Lost Crab in the Great Sand Labyrinth by Alpaca 2026-04-27T09:27:30Z

Very nice game! Really enjoyed it, thank you! Very clever combination of game play mechanisms. I had trouble using my controller though (a cheap no name controller). I ended up using my keyboard to walk around and the controller to press a and go into the arrange window. Nonetheless the game was a lot of fun!

Call For Help by bling 2026-04-24T19:36:51Z

A really fun little game. I like the graphics, and I love hammering away at my keyboard :D

S3xnal by Xiao Duye 2026-04-24T09:10:14Z

:D very nice interpretation of the theme. Who would have thought, how stressful it can get to manage a nightclub =) Well done!

GIMME TV by pocketdog 2026-04-23T11:21:37Z

Wow, that was awesome! So polished. The monsters are so nice. I especially love the jellyfish and the one that falls apart into the tiny guys! The end fight is a great spectacular. Thank you for sharing =)

DOT & DASH by Kenoshka 2026-04-21T21:39:27Z

Congrats on your first game jam game! It's very nice! I liked the graphics. The fish were a little to small in pixel size though. I think that's why they feel a little off in aesthetic. But overall very nice game, especially for the first game jam game!

Nice game! I had a bug where I was stuck in the right side. I especially like the mood of the game. Well done!

Very fun idea! I love the cats expression when scanning :D. I found it a little bit annoying, that one has to read through the whole text again, if the cat exploded. Overall a very unique game play. well done!
