Beneath the surface by sorikaStudio 2014-04-30T10:35:00

I bet this game could've been awesome if completed, still tried to dodge non-existent enemy attacks so it was kind of funny trying it. Maybe next jam!

WOOD BIRD EGG DIG by voxel 2014-04-30T10:32:00

I needed a playthrough to understand how wood blocks worked, but when I did it became pretty enjoyable!
Great graphics and animations, audio really fits in it!
It made me stop several times to think of my next move, so great job!

The abyss within by UnixXNova 2014-04-30T10:27:00

Some games don't need to have awesome graphics and many gameplay features if they can have this read-and-imagine-then-choose-your-adventure feature. It felt a bit random, but liked it. Music helped a lot!

DeepSeaBombing by dlweatherhead 2014-04-30T10:22:00

Pretty hard and fast-paced entry! Simple, but enjoyable.
Dead submarines firing missiles while sinking is a pain but, man I love when I sink too and start carrying them all to the depths!

Hollow Shell by Moist 2014-04-30T10:19:00

Pretty nice gameplay! Shoot recoil is something I wouldn't expect and it was lovely, including screen shake feedback.
Graphics fit perfectly and its animations gave it a really polished aspect.
Don't really think the theme is there but still, good job!

Through Shadows by sockfolder 2014-04-30T10:14:00

Pretty awesome! Reminded me of the good 'ol N64 days, and it had a boss fight! (well, it's basically a boss fight anyways)
Enjoyed a lot, controls felt super natural during the boss fight. Loved the camera work, but some sliding when it collides a wall would've been better.
Loved the boss and its AI, when I thought it would be easy then it spawned yet another new skill! Great job!

Moby-riDickulous by Crooksister 2014-04-30T10:04:00

Great gameplay and great humor! Awesome graphics, screen shock feedback really helps getting into the game! Music helped, of course :D
Good job!

Aeronautical by GarethIW 2014-04-30T09:57:00

Impressive! It's got me playing for quite a while.
Awesome graphics and sound effects, perfect gameplay with great controls and an awesome upgrade system!
Some music would've been perfect, so I encourage you to add it and release somewhere! Good job!

Without a Paddle by namuol 2014-04-30T00:07:00

It's got some nice graphics and sounds! The aiming mechanic gives it an awesome gameplay, and the spear gives it some extra points on humor!

Questionable Submarine by TheLastBanana 2014-04-30T00:03:00

This is one of the best entries I've played so far! Pretty nice in every area, with a great gameplay and it's pretty hard as well! You have to sacrifice some resource if you want to keep playing, so it got me playing for a while! 5 stars!

Strung Out by valid4life 2014-04-29T23:56:00

With that time constraint, it's a pretty nice entry!
Most of the fish can't be caught and some are even generated out of the water :)

Pocket by ShuddaHaddaLottaFun 2014-04-29T23:54:00

Liked the animation, although I managed to bug it twice. Had to download it because I though web version had a bug having everything black and didn't know what I was doing (like climbing out of nowhere), however the desktop version looked the same. A pity :(
Music helped getting into the game, and it's got decent gameplay.

The Missing Potato by DragonMaster21 2014-04-29T23:44:00

Loved the lighting effect, it's really awesome! And the audio helped getting into the game.
Didn't like the action button being so close to the movement ones, but overall it's a nice entry!
Super lava-proof Potato!

The Collector by IamAcoconut 2014-04-29T23:40:00

It's got the mood, the atmosphere is creepy and I started being afraid of moving after reading some board, turning around and being caught.
It needs some kind of scream when it finds you!

Reflection by thebmxeur 2014-04-29T23:36:00

Nice gameplay! It's hard to coordinate moving and changing to the reflection, but once you get it you start to enjoy it. It even made me smile when I started failing continously :)
Some slow-paced music would fit perfectly. Reflection effect is awesome!

Shifter by Spaceoff 2014-04-29T23:29:00

Really interesting puzzle mechanics here. Took me a bit until I understood how to make it work, but the implementation is solid so it helped me not to get stuck. Graphics are a blast although some contrast on important stuff (like buttons and statues) would be welcome. The audio is pretty nice too!

Under a Martial Artist's Skin by jujule 2014-04-29T23:22:00

At first I didn't knew I was doing it correctly until I re-read the instructions on how to attack. The white "shape" is a bit misleading as the game doesn't really go with the soundtrack.
However, I enjoyed playing it and felt like playing this Guitar-Hero-ish game, so good job! Nice soundtrack, btw!

Yellow Submarine Treasure Hunt by Danvil 2014-04-29T23:12:00

It's a nice entry, although a bit clumsy with controls. Fishes are impressive, and the idea is kind of fun. Too many rocks, tho!

Beneath the surface by legendpaul 2014-04-29T23:08:00

Couldn't get it to work, it doesn't open at all.

Patty's Perilous Plunder 2: Patty's Revenge by uRLgR3y 2014-04-29T23:06:00

This is a weird mix of genres but somehow I find it pretty enjoyable! Got me playing for a while.
Some music could've improved it, tho. Nice gameplay!

Damned Scouts! by Lama 2014-04-29T11:31:00

Pretty polished game, with nice humor and a great gameplay, audio (creepy after 5 minutes!) and graphics!
Awesome game, it even makes you laugh when you understand how to kill some of them!

Substratum by Ian MacLarty 2014-04-29T11:22:00

It's got pretty interesting mechanics, took me a while to understand how to continue. It kept impressing me over and over with each type of "zone" but when I suddenly moved through the walls I was blown up.
Pretty nice entry! Loved it!

Demon Dungeon by snade 2014-04-29T11:10:00

The gameplay is pretty nice, and the audio fits it entirely. You can't get tired of the soundtrack!
The map can help you sometimes, and avoiding enemies isn't that easy.

Underground Minions by Shinxs 2014-04-29T11:00:00

It's a nice entry, although the second level should give some more instructions on what actions do. Music fits it, but don't really see the theme in it other than the elevator.
Btw, for the dev, there's a bug when removing actions that made my first action (the ^) increase instead of the action I removed.

William the Wopol by chipcaramel 2014-04-29T10:53:00

Everything in this game is superb! Gameplay, audio, graphics, story, theme! Really like several elements in the game (the map, for example) which give it a pretty nice polish. It's exceptionally long, too!

Found a bug which got me stuck and didn't manage to complete the game, but it's worth playing it again! (screenshot of the bug: http://imgur.com/iEEfKuo, happened when attacking while a bit before going out of the water. Since I didn't have the impulse to get out of it, the animation played until I touched the ground, and then got stuck forever).
5 stars!

Body Defence by stenol 2014-04-28T23:03:00

Nice tower defense game! Loved the machine gun :D
It's a bit hard since waves start even when you aren't ready and since Lv2 waves are way harder!
Music fits and mechanics are well implemented, but you need some HUD design and UX in there.

Diver by peejaygee 2014-04-28T22:49:00

Enjoyed the music, and also liked the character's movement. However, I think a bit more room between walls would give it more fluent gameplay.

Convoy Attack!! by Chompson 2014-04-28T22:45:00

Had a hard time to find some enemies on my first run, but it improved with extra runs. There's a lot of cooldown with torpedoes, but once you master it there's a chance to kill some enemies.
Water has some nice effects!
Destroyers are overpowered, yeah :)

Eat'em all by coquinounet 2014-04-28T22:39:00

The music helped me playing some extra runs, although the jellyfish shock you for quite a bit longer than I'd like.
Liked when I got some treasures and started seeing some decoration on the shark :)

The Eggventure of Mad Mr Gregg! by mollymus 2014-04-28T22:33:00

Enjoyed its music and its graphics, although I can think of a game with similar mechanics. However, I'd rather like the camera moving to show more left-side when moving left.
Pretty nice implementation of its mechanics and nice level design. It's a different interpretation of the theme, so I'll upvote on theme.

Where Is My Bone? by Ellian 2014-04-28T22:24:00

This is one of the best game I've seen so far. Its graphics are awesome, and it's got me thinking what the hell should I do until I got the smells thing.
Of course, I didn't expect the story it hides 'beneath the surface', so it's a double pun :D
Some audio would've been perfect for it, but still it's fun!

Understanding LD by DarkMeatGames 2014-04-28T15:43:00

Although the graphics are pretty beautiful and I love certain details which require time but may be unnoticed (like the player's squash and stretch effect).
Its tutorial and YEAH! effect when completing a level are neat, and the sound is minimal but fits it! The effect when something is destroyed (even yourself) really made me laugh at first, pretty amusing!
Don't really see the theme in it, but I enjoyed playing it :)

MechSpider by Sebastião 2014-04-28T15:06:00

Invalid Data File as well :)

Mining Tycoon by haltoncz 2014-04-28T15:03:00

It's got weird mechanics, and sort of obscure mechanics. It's got a nice tutorial and an advanced tutorial, but it requires some time to understand it all.
After some runs it's hard to know when to spend materials on temperature or methane, there's a lot of info and it's hard to know which buttons to use. Highest score: 5478.

What Lies Beneath by Stuffie 2014-04-28T14:56:00

Enjoyed the entry! Its graphics are pretty nice and it's really makes you want to go deeper to get the best items :)
Not having a time limit is cool, so you can plan your moves and take the risk (or not!).

Just one thing, when the boat is facing to the right, controls (A,D) are shifted and that's counter-intuitive. Add some music, you already have nice gameplay!
