LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deeper State: Elon Flux by LandoSystems 2021-04-27T23:04:08Z

I had fun playing the game. as @paulhocker said, it was a bit too easy as you can never really die. And sometimes the background and foreground blended in. Other than that, the graphic were great! Blasting a giant mecha Zuckerberg was fun!

Press Space To Jump The Gap by foolmoron 2021-04-28T03:36:51Z

Like everyone else, it took me a while to figure out what was going on, but once I did figure it out, it was very cool!

Sinking Atlantis by lekiy 2021-04-28T01:12:53Z

I liked the water raising mechanic, that was pretty cool to mess around with. I just wish there were more levels to play!

Upset Crab by 43sam 2021-04-27T03:02:00Z

I love the precision and satisfaction of the controls, they're really well done. It would be interesting to see what other monsters could be added that contribute to the sword attacking mechanic. overall, It was great fun. I got to about floor 5.

Logistics Boy by Dis0rder 2021-04-27T19:50:58Z

This was actually a really fun game. I love the simplicity and had great fun dodging the tentacles and bird poo. Once I got to the submarine stage I got too frustrated and stopped. I liked the balance of difficulty and fun though, that is what made it addicting!

the sunken place by RomeRomey 2021-04-29T06:06:31Z

This was really well executed for such a simple and fun game! I got to the last platform and died. So close!!!

Clowns Aren't Funny by NDHR Productions 2021-04-27T04:14:30Z

I agree with @somnolentpumpkin the squelching noise was a bit repetitive after a while. I love the idea of attacking with jokes, never seen that before in a game. Great job!

The Ugliest Fish by LoparPanda 2021-04-28T01:04:24Z

I agree with everyone else, the art is really good! Wish there was a game to play but nonetheless the art is great and I had a fun time swimming. Great job!

Monster journal: a short story by Fenderbate 2021-04-27T02:59:57Z

I like the concept, it would make a really good beat game if you added in some funky music. The 3rd enemy was too difficult for me to get past, but I played it a fair few times. Would love to see this expanded on!

DigAmillion by magus77 2021-04-28T01:25:53Z

I agree with @supergamersgames it took too long to mine just 1 block, especially when you had to mine so many blocks. It was fun to dig around, but I never found the end, wish I had!

Shark Attack! by LittleW00D 2021-04-28T01:33:30Z

Fun bopping around as a shark. I found it difficult to time the jumping to get the people in the little boats. The bomb dropping noises got a bit repetitive after having a lot of bombs on the screen at once. I played it a few times, it was good fun!

Dungeon Divers by Koolruz 2021-04-27T03:36:10Z

The gameplay was fun, it reminded me of chess but with abilities. I liked the dynamic duo of the knight and the philosopher. Having to click on the character and then moving your mouse to click the ability and then moving your mouse again to target was a bit frustrating sometimes. It's not a big deal, but maybe using number hotkeys to select your ability after you click so that you don't need to move your mouse down after clicking on your character. Overall it was a fun idea!

ARTerial (the AI-generated art museum) by MEGA Marlon 2021-04-27T04:18:12Z

@chipperswitch Thanks for the feedback, we would like to get a larger neural network put in, in the future to help with making the paintings higher quality.

@khill Let me look into teleporting crashing the game. Thanks for letting me know!

Falling! by MegaBr 2021-04-27T23:11:19Z

Love the toughness of the game. I like the trial and error aspect, it makes it really rewarding when you get far through the cave. Good entry!

Depth Perception by Rina 2021-04-27T03:17:50Z

I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be doing. I found the mouse sensitivity to be crazy high. Maybe that was just on my end though. I like that you swap between two different modes, one mode to move, the other to pick up. I wish I knew what to do so that I could play it through fully.

Darkness Muse by Evil Villain Games 2021-04-27T22:57:01Z

The game was tough but fun! I liked how your light meter was connected to taking damage and dealing damage. It made you think twice before shooting at an enemy.

Golem by TobyMurray 2021-04-27T03:07:16Z

The take over mechanic was really fun and well done with the slow motion effect. After the credits, the game started stuttering but then resumed shortly after. After 3 minutes of play, it stuttered again and froze. From what I did play though, it was fun and fast paced! (and the beginning music was great!)

Nautilus: Gestation by Perpetua Franck 2021-04-27T03:44:52Z

The pixel artwork is great, I loved the squids and the giant face pursuing you is very ominous. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be shooting at the face while running, or just running away from the face as it is indestructible.

Trolley-ho! by MrMattSim 2021-04-27T03:12:31Z

Took me a while to figure out how to shift between tracks. It may be helpful to put the controls in the game. The music was a jam and was pretty enjoyable! Like others have said, it was too dark to tell what I was doing at some points even with full screen brightness. It was cool to race against another cart though!

LD49 — Unstable

Tol by Decentsauce 2021-10-05T03:35:05Z

I really wish I could play and rate the game! Unfortunately, my laptop can't run it! It looks very fun though!

Help me there are buildings falling from the sky onto my precious mountain by Kaje Cimhael 2021-10-05T04:56:08Z

I had a fun time placing the buildings down onto the scale, I got 78 buildings total before it tipped. I wasn't quite sure why it wouldn't let me pick up some types of buildings at certain points. Was fun overall!

Cloudlands by Infraxion 2021-10-05T03:27:14Z

Woah! These graphics are insane! How did you manage to fit 8 years of work into just 72 hours!?!?! This is GOTY for me!

Baby Panda by publicidadeba 2021-10-05T00:47:09Z

BABY PANDA TIME! Fun stuff, love the simplicity mixed with the dexterity!

Divine Intervention by YogurtTheHorse 2021-10-04T23:58:18Z

These are some really cool graphics! The game overall is entertaining, but the graphics are fantastic. Really cool stuff, Great Job!

TYPEROPE by Piturnah 2021-10-05T04:49:53Z

Really simple idea, but really well executed. I can't think of another game that I have played that is similar. Great job!

Void Jumper by Platyp 2021-10-04T23:50:58Z

The simplistic graphics are really calm and nice. If you had a stronger shadow underneath the character it would make it slightly easier to judge where you will land on the next blocks. Good fun overall!

The Show Must Go Down by tykenn 2021-10-05T23:24:00Z

Never seen a game like this before, really unique and something you may want to pursue further. I had a fun time messing everything up. Great job!

Big City Opossum by kenster 2021-10-05T00:21:39Z

I like the theme for the game! As a hug fan of opossums, I give this 2 opposable thumbs up! As for the gameplay, I noticed that my character could walk off the top of the screen during a fight, which made it impossible to see. Fun stuff overall!

Topsy Tavern by Aetheir 2021-10-05T01:07:27Z

A really cool puzzly concept. I had some issues, with having the little guys clip through the floor and then having it fail the level. But I really like the concept and it fits perfectly for the theme. Great Job!

Atomic Rock Paper Scissors by lucasvb 2021-10-05T00:03:37Z

This is a really cool twist on the Bejeweled and rock paper scissors. Overall it was bit too slow paced for me, but I loved thinking through which option was best. Thanks for the fun game!

Crazy Cauldron by Quite Good 2021-10-05T23:29:28Z

Mixing the different ingredients to get the right color was really satisfying! I liked having to catch the colors as well. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure on how to make a certain color, but it felt great once I finally pulled it off. The artwork and music is bopping too! Great stuff!

RadioFrog by Dylen 2021-10-04T23:47:28Z

Tough at first, but you get the hang of it. I really love the art style, especially the frog. At some points I felt overwhelmed by the enemies and couldn't get a hold of radioactive material, but that's part of the fun! A really solid entry overall!

Rock On by Leuthil 2021-10-05T01:22:32Z

That music was BUMPING! The game was a bit too tough for me, but was super addicting nonetheless. I love the isometric view, it adds to the challenge and looks really nice. Fun game!

Thirsty Knife by blessonhulk8 2021-10-05T23:14:43Z

I played it for a little bit, but kept dying from the cactus'. I just couldn't get the jumping right between them. Overall it felt very smooth to play. Great stuff!

SCOT & BOB Save the MECCA by Isaac Winkler 2021-10-05T03:16:29Z

I couldn't get too far on the first level. I died at the same time a text box appeared which caused my character to spawn off the bike whenever I reset. Looked like a really fun game though, I am a huge fan of side on "trials" style games!

Unistable by ThaCuber 2021-10-04T23:42:47Z

I had a fun and frustrating time! As others said, this game is tough, but that is what I expected! I managed to get to level 4, but couldn't get any further! I really like the simplistic graphic for the Unicycle! Great job!

Bomb's Lair by Vetche Studio 2021-10-04T23:35:29Z

Really love the concept! I like the feeling where the bombs are useful for you to complete the level, but also dangerous! Loved having to think through where I was going to place my bombs. The audio and graphics are fantastic especially for the time limit.

the cards we're dealt by rainedoe 2021-10-05T04:46:49Z

Great Mood and atmosphere, the game was very relaxing! I felt as though the outcome was a bit random after I chose a card, but it wasn't a huge deal, as the game was still enjoyable!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

MOTH by Beefsock 2022-04-05T01:16:36Z

This had a great mood to it. The audio was fantastic and same with the graphics. Great work on getting that "spooky" feeling!

Batteries not included by damedevy 2022-04-05T19:46:14Z

I like the concept that you came up with for the theme. I was having a great time but got stuck on a level with 4 big guys. I could just barely make it to them before the time ran out and never had enough time to collect a battery. Overall fun stuff though!

Highrail to hell by BadPiggy 2022-04-05T22:14:22Z

Great stuff! Like everyone else has said, the art style is awesome! Whenever I died, the music seemed to start playing twice over itself. It was great overall, wish it was longer! :)

Rage Against The Cocoon by JoeDev 2022-04-05T19:41:41Z

A classic caterpillar-genre defining game! As other have mentioned, the camera controls are a bit iffy, for me it was overly sensitive. But the interpretation of the theme and the gameplay is great stuff! Good job!

Let's Do Alien Taxes! by BurnsDesigns 2022-04-05T19:52:05Z

Haha what a fun game. I wish my taxes were like this in real life. It had a very Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy feel to it. Great stuff!

Void Prison by Tadas Migauskas 2022-04-13T02:29:38Z

Awesome game design, I really like how the bullets from enemies just push you back instead of dealing damage. It really ties the mechanic of the enclosing smoke in really well!

LD53 — Delivery

Demon Lord's Catboy Pizza Delivery Service by Tyler Slabinski 2023-05-02T23:14:55Z

Fun little game, grapple hooks are always a good time! Couldn't get the embedded version to work on the LD page but ran fine on Itch. Great stuff!

Spuggy's Pizza Delivery by BayouSoftware 2023-05-02T02:21:08Z

This is a classic Spuggy-type game, in a similar vein to that of a strand-type game. Would recommend to anyone!

Beat Boxes by PonyGirlLuna 2023-05-02T23:23:32Z

Fun stuff! I love rhythm games and managed to finagle an outstanding highscore of -99,200! Loved the concept, hitting 2 boxes pointing the same direction in-a-row was always tough, but other than that it was a jam. Great job!

LD54 — Limited Space

Flicker of Lumina by Nash 2023-10-03T13:35:04Z

This is like a spooky variation of pool. I didn't make it far, but at any point can you earn a 2nd firefly? Really entertaining loop. Thanks for the fun!

The King is Watching by Tvorojok 2023-10-04T12:27:25Z

Wow! What an amazingly fun little game. I loved the tabletop game puzzley feel mixed with the tower defence. The placing of the structures on the grid was really satisfying. My wall wasn't touched until the big baddy at the end who proved too tough for my defences. I would love to see this game fleshed out into a full on game. Great stuff!

Packed to the Gills by npckc 2023-10-03T08:18:03Z

Really like the simplicity mixed with theme and graphics. Sometimes I struggled with which way the fish should bend, but found it enjoyable trying to figure it out. It was a fun time!

LD55 — Summoning

Sumo-ning by wolderado 2024-04-16T14:15:36Z

Very cool, never played a game like this before, very innovative! Super fun to play and would love to see more!

LD57 — Depths

Ridge Heart by firellon 2025-04-15T16:02:44Z

This was really fun, I found it a bit tricky once it started only giving me weaker tiles and wish i could destroy already placed tiles at some form of cost. Played a few rounds of it and had a good time!

Dino Rush by pixelstuff 2025-04-08T10:55:05Z

Fun stuff. Like @fraukauz said, I was unaware the lava came up and down, I initially thought I'd have to get all the fossils in a single go. Once it clicked though, it was a real good time. Thanks!

Hyperspacedive by marudziik 2025-04-10T11:42:02Z

Could only make it to level 6 but had a blast. Really like how the damage mechanic works, makes it easily accessible. Great stuff!

THE NAUTICAL GOSPEL by Levi 2025-04-08T09:21:13Z

Love the graphics, these are trippy cool!

SpeleoloGraph by Bismark 2025-04-08T12:55:26Z

Menu was a bit cluttered for the first thing the player sees but once I got past that, the game was fun. I love the graphical style!

Super Pyonpon by Saturnyoshi 2025-04-08T12:37:26Z

The movement is really fun! Great stuff!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-08T09:01:11Z

@pretendcoding Yeah, it's tricky. I was hoping for more of a slow game where the more cards you get it makes you a little more money each time when your deck resets. Thanks for the feedback!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-08T10:51:25Z

@letmebeme Thanks! Yeah, they are animated correctly, the resource earning anim is more prominent though, so it looks like they aren't. They would work better swapped around, you're right! Thanks for checking it out :)

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-08T10:51:43Z

@anekich Thanks for giving it a go!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-08T11:02:18Z

@woona Thanks! Yeah, it's one of those classic last minute balancing acts. It seems if you can get either of the cards that give you Oxygen then you can start ramping up resources fast. Thanks for playing!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-09T08:42:09Z

@ezard94 Thanks for that feedback, I can see the fading text getting in the way after a while especially cause it always says the same thing. I'm glad you got multiple runs in. Thanks for playing!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-09T08:43:03Z

@khaotom Thanks! Yeah, the world is kinda weird. Not even sure why travelling through a space whale is what heals it, but supposedly that's how it works, someone told me.

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-11T08:41:07Z

@suvi Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah if you can spam the Oxygen in gets you through fairly easily. I didn't occur to me at all that the score doesn't appear upon winning which must have been real annoying so thanks for pointing that out! The dynamic swapping would have been far more intuitive as well. Maybe some post jam updates for the future. Insightful stuff thanks!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-14T11:09:48Z

@eugenik Thanks for the compliment!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-14T11:10:23Z

@jamesgames1000 WOOOOOO! That's so cool to hear! Thanks for the kinda words and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-14T11:12:47Z

@marudziik I appreciate the feedback, I def agree that the resource number is distractingly large where it's currently placed on the cards. UI is what always trips me up in the LDJ haha. Thanks for checking it out!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-15T14:32:34Z

@crozzy Thanks for checking it out!

Space Whale Veterinarian🐳🌑 by MEGA Marlon 2025-04-21T09:25:37Z

@jern Give me that Oxygen!!!!!! Thanks for playing!

Help! I'm Trapped on The Torment Trapeze. by Yossarian 2025-04-08T12:52:58Z

took me a sec to realize i can grapple onto the previous ghosts but once i did this game was a blast. I love the obscene difficulty level of it. It has that "just one more" spelunky feeling to it.

Obsidian Deep by Joseph Tan 2025-04-08T09:20:01Z

Took me a second to figure out how to dig above and below my character but once I did it was real good. I really like the stamina meter it adds that nice bit of tension for wanting to get to that next gold block.

Crab Royal by woona 2025-04-08T09:25:15Z

A boss fight in a Ludum Dare entry is insanely brave. I had a fun time going deeper to find the crab. Would have been cool if killing enemies gave me something so that my only strategy wasn't to go down straight away. Though I really enjoyed the boss fight! Awesome stuff!

The Stochastic Abyss by Ezard94 2025-04-08T12:57:46Z

The art style is insanely cool! Though i was a bit confused at first, I think because there's very little feedback when clicking the deck i wasn't sure it was working. Once i figured it out, it was cool!

27°59′17″N 86°55′30″E by Akinat0 2025-04-10T11:46:16Z

Coolest graphics I've seen in this jam. Love the aesthetic of the game and how simple, but yet difficult, of a puzzle it is. Great stuff!

Undertetris by Rinevard 2025-04-08T08:59:27Z

It always surprises me when people can push Tetris into new territory. This was awesome! I had a little trouble lining up the block you have to push, but other than that really interesting and fun take on Tetris!

DropDeep by Elian Geser 2025-04-08T09:14:14Z

Love the little touches, especially when getting to a x7 combo how the def animation is different. The push-your-luck element of going fast to increase score vs slower is interesting and the art style is cute. Cool stuff!
