LD57 — Depths (32)

God Veins by dagon 2025-04-14T13:09:09Z ♥ 1

The premise is very intriguing and minimalizm in mechanics is really well placed. The best narrative delivery I've seen in this LD. But in the end, I felt messages and a jumpscare doesn't live up to the premise.

Tidehold by outstar 2025-04-14T12:35:59Z ♥ 1

Obviously super polished for LD. I felt that (on easy) there were no events I needed to deal with. I never changed my playstyle, never got new ideas to test out.

A Present for Ama by oliver_day 2025-04-11T12:05:22Z ♥ 1

Good luck with the full featured version :)

Hooked by mira 2025-04-11T11:56:35Z ♥ 1

I will remember the tapping idea. Really calls for a rhythm restriction.

Noesis by Jamie3721 2025-04-11T11:46:40Z ♥ 2

Oh, guys you definitely should change the thumbnail to attract more players.

Deep Hour by Cammin 2025-04-11T10:44:52Z ♥ 1

Really funny descriptions, exactly my reaction to supernatural as well in those kind of situations.

Thrill of Anguish by Pythorogus 2025-04-11T10:37:39Z ♥ 1

Oh wait, it isn't supposed to be funny? That's the only game I lauged playing

Cursor Descend by FoxEcho 2025-04-11T10:29:49Z ♥ 1

Unfortunately,the controls is way off for me, The object is kind of snapping to a position abruptly with inertia, ramming into walls.

Chips and Hell by Fantasia_imagine 2025-04-11T10:24:39Z ♥ 1

Sorry, file too big

abyss by A0405u 2025-04-11T10:19:14Z ♥ 0

Physics doesn't feel good, and I don't see the point of buildings, gameplay doesn't work together. Interesting overall.

Dantes Descendants by elZach 2025-04-11T09:57:12Z ♥ 1

Very unique feel to all of this. The gameplay is pretty heavy on number crunching and cause-effect is too difficult to trace.. Get rid of all the numbers in the game!

Shroomberg by GlebSviripa 2025-04-11T09:29:29Z ♥ 1

Interesting genre. The best thing is that it is a strategy with very easy controls. Pretty elegant. The hand cursor is so inaccurate. My gameplay didn't involve much thinking, it feels that there's a simple optimal heuristic, without much dynamic adaptation to the circumstance. I would've definitely enjoyed some rare troops production, but do not complicate the UI! No buttons, the type of a troop should depend on surroundings and a pattern of your mushrooms around.

The Undead by j_rara 2025-04-11T09:13:49Z ♥ 0

The basic action of dodging is pretty fun. The balance is way off, When I learned that I can build turrets at 15 Depth, I just build myself an autobattler :)

Down Under by quacknoodels 2025-04-09T21:52:35Z ♥ 1

Had problems with the lack of any responce from the game. Not sure what solved it, I bashed all the buttons.

Pretty smooth experience overall. Not particularly interesting puzzles, but controls, art and the vibe feels nice.

Downwell by drevayne 2025-04-09T21:42:14Z ♥ 0

Pretty solid on all fronts. Really clear and straight-forward. For me it lacks something memorable.

Break Down! by hulien22 2025-04-09T21:34:32Z ♥ 2

I think the idea is amazing! Like the most hidden gem out there! Getting the ball into a trap is so satisfying and the condition for getting profit is to catch the ball is pretty ingenious game design. I will remember this.

Unfortunately it lagged from the beginning and crashed (like context lost kind of thing)

MandelBrowse by MaximeG 2025-04-09T21:23:50Z ♥ 3

Really interesting, but unfortunately lags too much on the old laptop.

Doodley Descent by LarsieVL 2025-04-09T21:08:50Z ♥ 1

I couldn't fit it into a laptop screen. Your hard-coded resolution is too big

Ludum Dare 57 Depth Of A Phrase by Beebster Games 2025-04-09T20:23:15Z ♥ 1

Oh, comeon you should fix the bug with the mouse tracking and resolution! (Then write to me;)) It is permitted by the rules, check it out. I didn't see the phrase and bottom half of letters.

Hoard by Talif Moor 2025-04-09T20:08:11Z ♥ 3

My best score is 252. My arm hurts. My new favourite from the Jam. I think its quite a genius game design. The worst thing is definitely the movement: make it smooth or at least make it not instant, (like slow is probably even better). Right now the optimal style of play is to fkn kill your wrist tapping 15 times a second. Also I think easy way to add depth would be to implement pushing of blocks by blocks. Then you can plan maybe how to complete tasks remotely and block shape becomes really important. I stopped by your page looking for your other work, but I guess you haven't heard of it.

Dataminers by bubblewandgames 2025-04-09T17:02:35Z ♥ 1

This is the best game I played here definitely. Just solid on all fronts. Negatives: I didn't realize you need to hold Space for so long, it was super confusing. I just pressed it and the level was just stupid. I press space to skip menu and animation is playing and I press space and it skips the next menu by accident and it is infuriating. The biggest drawback for me is that blocks are way too small for this horizontal acceleration. Standing on one or two blocks is incredibly hard and finicky. And it is very important to progress..

Mariana's Secret by Tirtstan 2025-04-09T16:45:23Z ♥ 2

Yep, the graphics are 5/5, with all the animations.. Are you like 1 programmer and 4 artists? 😄

D.M.C : Dwarves Mine Caves by lepol 2025-04-09T16:36:25Z ♥ 2

Really amazing and ambitious. Lots to praise, can I cut to the suggestions? I think the game looks awesome, especially shiny borders of the ground tiles, but I feel that there's Too much detail for such a small scale. Regarding the main progression - it is weird, challenge rumps up and your success depends on how much you get above the requirement, but you don't know how difficult later days would be and it is possible to lose first few days, and go on, not knowing that you effectively couldn't complete some later level.

P(urple)thulhu vs SHIPS: Tentacle Trouble! by GreatVV 2025-04-09T16:14:06Z ♥ 1

Original, but I'd like to see more restrictions. Right now I can win just by doing first thing that comes to mind.

Just Keep Digging by SoaringMoon 2025-04-09T16:04:45Z ♥ 1

Wait, did you create the songs? In three days? If so, that is the most impressive thing. Graphical design is strong.

Super BAD Boy! by basic_eagles 2025-04-09T15:49:47Z ♥ 2

Agree with previous comments. Music is so good, I just jumped in place and vibed.

Echoes in the Deep by midamida 2025-04-09T15:42:03Z ♥ 0

best 52. I found that it was way too random.. Cool music.

Bellophobia by DeepShark 2025-04-09T15:35:33Z ♥ 1

Atmosphere is the best. Sound is great. I collected 2 treasures, but couldn't find what next. Maybe it lagged for me, idk, I found controls to be too clunky.

Planet Diver by milano23 2025-04-09T15:03:35Z ♥ 2

For me it laggs a lot and then side button press just changes speed immediately, ramming me into a wall. So it's unplayable.

DEEP MIND by evilgeniusdance 2025-04-09T14:45:10Z ♥ 1

Cool, very creative. A good kind of minimalism. It feels like you piece together a life's story.. And that falling shape to the side.. Wait is this the flashing memories? What am I progressing towards!? 😨

The depth of insomnia by David_best 2025-04-09T13:47:14Z ♥ 1

Unfortunately unplayable because of the mouse cursor.

Lost in the Depths by ViraPyon 2025-04-09T13:26:02Z ♥ 2

In the ship I replayed the long segment 10 times and quit. Nice game. It playes like a puzzle, not really an action title, but for a puzzle, replaying the challenge multiple times is a chore. Cool sprites and vibe. Shark is the best

LD47 — Stuck in a loop (26)

Prison Endless by EndSSGamesStudio 2020-10-11T18:00:35Z ♥ 1

Good overall, bud bad humor. All in all it is killing and killing is bad. Deaths seemed so real to me that I was about to vomit on my keyboard. Too much violence. Loop topic was uncovered. Yes, you should play over again every time you fail, but isn't it exactly the same as we often do in any game with save/load? Everything else is fine, had fun.

LifeLoop by Dominium11 2020-10-10T17:23:29Z ♥ 1

Hey, can I say? Didn't like it! W t hell! Yeah, I'm a depressed suicidal ass I am. But making art that just straightforwardly breeds such emotions is dumb! It's not deep or smth, the causes may be true, but listing your problems is just like begging for pity. At best you will attract others and form a toxic self-pitying group, which will feel better together but stuck and hopeless. love the art btw;)

Hack'n Loop by Darenn 2020-10-09T22:08:56Z ♥ 3

Didn't like it being monotonous, visuals are really great, but the game itself becomes boring to me too fast.

Loopy Loops by ded 2020-10-09T22:06:31Z ♥ 0

Not much game here though, liked classic-like rendering method, it is cool =)

CALVARYVM by manusaiz 2020-10-09T21:51:17Z ♥ 1

Really good graphics, why there is no graphics field to rate? I would get it 5/5. Talking about game mechanics, it is too simple to gain fun or make a challenge or deliver an idea. And I don't think that it suits the theme. This way every game may be called "Stuck in a loop", aren't we reloading every time we failing in Skyrim? =) 3.5/5 overall, still playable and looks solid.

PARAD🕑X SECURITY by grizeldi 2020-10-09T21:39:52Z ♥ 2

It was cool. Even though the game is very simple and not introduces a lot of mechanics, it is really fun and the main mechanic is really interesting. 4.5/5 overall

Orbital Roaming by Sidonie_Go 2020-10-09T21:34:04Z ♥ 2

I liked the space theme and the pictures used. It would be better if there was a small map that showed the location and itself. I also liked the graphic design.

Time Raider by Almax 2020-10-09T21:28:52Z ♥ 1

Great one! Looks really complete. Still lacks audio, but it is no problem. Great balanced, it really was a challenge to learn how to beat the game (and learning here is a great part of the game!), but it was not too hard, which is perfect. One of the best rouge-like ever played =)

Mars Loops by Oune 2020-10-09T21:26:11Z ♥ 2

Good game! Liked everything about it. Looks very complete.

Lily The Bee by Vivien Fargette 2020-10-09T21:15:09Z ♥ 2

Cute and funny game. Amazing art and decorations.

StackInTheLoop by saurterrs 2020-10-09T21:14:39Z ♥ 1

Sorry, but didn't like this one because of lack of decorations and unjustifiably hard controls. The mechanic is really simple and I expected something more surprising on a jam then a cone racing game. Music is good btw. 3/5 overall

Ring Rush by blotosaur 2020-10-09T20:44:41Z ♥ 0

Really good one! Combined reaction skills and dimentional thinking give the most of the fun! Overall 4.5 out of 5. (I'd like to have more game mechanics and better audio, but it is still really good)

Get Out by zgragselus 2020-10-09T20:37:51Z ♥ 1

Nice game! It's a good idea to visualize the board game but sometimes I can't see the cube. It will be better if you can create some restrictions for its trajectory.

Night Job by algodoogle 2020-10-09T14:25:10Z ♥ 0

Seems really cool, but way too confusing.. You should wright straight full explanation in description!

Groove Interpolator by Spotline 2020-10-09T14:14:53Z ♥ 1

Well green handles and stretching is a real deal here, right? The insane freedom is good, but I really struggled to put it to a good use.. Only trivial stuff comes to mind.. In any case 5/5 innovation I'd say. As a whole, personally I'm not really into the samples, so the big problem is that there only 4 fixed ones.. Individual Volume knobs would be nice. Geometric UI is pretty clear. Maybe think of a gameplay where you replicate the beat by sound.

Soy Content by pi_pi3 2020-10-09T13:30:21Z ♥ 0

Umm.. I want my milk real bad, but it doesn't let me! on Win. just doesn't start

Extended Loop Green by Voidsay 2020-10-09T13:11:59Z ♥ 4

I drove the train! Yep. Right in'nout, right into, right past. My pancakes are less sensitive then mouse here btw.

All the same by Erkberg 2020-10-08T19:05:07Z ♥ 0

Nope! nope, keep strolling, keep Strolling away from that nighmarish creatures.. No wonder I got a depression, living in here..

Bob in Wonderland by smbe19 2020-10-08T18:53:12Z ♥ 1

Smth Ambitious finally! Awkward controls, nice idea, graphics create interesting vibe, repeat sound is super annoying..

Goblin Alchemist by James Dunlap 2020-10-08T18:41:39Z ♥ 1

Favourite so far. Good exploration tug. It pleads for some inventory management tools, but for the jam its just fine fcorse

30 seconds to escape by Kassymov Iran 2020-10-07T11:47:35Z ♥ 0

Yeah, so when I heard the alarms go off, I was in the hall. I grabbed myself and run to the door as fast as I could. Nobody was in sight, and blood kept rythmically pumping in my ears.. The door! I open my inventroy and.. empty. I forgot the key. I think this is it. I spent last seconds besides the closed door, thinking about my girlfriend.

Mid-Life Crisis by swimdoctor 2020-10-07T11:26:03Z ♥ 1

Solid manager. I think it lacks variety. Maybe some silly random events now and then, which essentially shape the run..

The Loop by DrJexter 2020-10-07T11:07:35Z ♥ 0

Yep, devoured it all. Such an upbeat world annihilation! Katamari vides. Impressive world size, confused about the loop theme. Probably needs some challenge or any direction.

Machine Learning by Merpui 2020-10-06T20:30:19Z ♥ 1

Interesting! I wish the narrative idea was explored more.. And dialogs were a bit too slow for me. But I felt involved kinda, or smth :) Thx!

Circadian by somn 2020-10-06T02:28:16Z ♥ 0

Yep we all feel it. The solution is to stop. dwelling on it

load_save(); by rubr 2020-10-06T02:16:11Z ♥ 1

Wow, so many weapons! I think the battle is a bit too messy, clamped and random to fully utilize arsenal potential. Very solid overall.

LD45 — Start with nothing (4)

The Factory by Jam373 2019-10-09T15:40:56Z ♥ 2

Oh, moody one! I'd like to see this artstyle polished..

Spew by ashashza 2019-10-09T15:34:11Z ♥ 1

I knew games can be art! Reminds me of g'ol Infectonator.. Gameplay is the best part, upgrades aren't working, I think.. Hard to read, hard to see difference, works out whatever you take anyway..

Operation: Tough Crowd by Benji Kershenbaum 2019-10-08T14:02:06Z ♥ 2

Great! Some real game here! Spy Party genre, right? You made it for some time, though, right? The theme is missing at all..

Dr & Dr by Daniel Jenikovský 2019-10-08T12:47:30Z ♥ 1

My PC froze for 10 minutes and then shut down. If this is intentional, this is outrageous crap. I won't downvote, as I can't be sure.. But if an issue wouldn't be adressed in a few days, I'll consider it intentional. Without it - a very solid game in it's cathegory.
