Dive into the abyss by xiyou 2021-05-13T14:40:06Z ♥ 2

Fun card game! It was an interesting mechanic, it felt very much like a combo-oriented game. It would be fun to flesh it out with more cards.

LumenBrink by mrawde 2021-05-02T14:40:13Z ♥ 1

Nice puzzles! The polish on this game is really impressive, the music and graphics both fit each other and the theme very well. Someone said this would work well as a mobile puzzler and I really agree!

Adventure: Depths & Dangers by yulotomorrow 2021-04-28T12:15:51Z ♥ 1

That was a lot of fun. Kept me surprised, and found ways to keep things interesting by changing the location and the gameplay. The adventurers and their dialogue were really cute!

Dungeon Painter by IanTheBee 2021-04-27T23:30:06Z ♥ 1

This is a fun game. I've seen the paint the platforms mechanic before, but I've never been able to shoot the paint, which was a lot of fun. One suggestion I have is to keep the paint around after death, and/or maybe limiting the amount I can shoot paint. Because I could fire paint infinitely, and because it would all go away when I died, I ended up going really slow and firing all around me. It was still a lot of fun even going slow though! Great work.

Astral Descension by nyxkn 2021-04-27T23:23:19Z ♥ 1

Fun game! The mood and pixel art are really good. I liked that falling off the edge would send you down a level of the game too - that was a clever way to integrate with the theme more completely.

Gridroots by Auroriax 2021-04-27T20:59:22Z ♥ 1

Some nice puzzles! I got stuck on lvl 5, but I'll be coming back to it later. Also valuable to learn about this other puzzlescript fork.

The only thing I'd suggest is implementing a way to use the mouse to backtrack. There were a few times where I felt I was close to the solution, but messed up early. If I had been able to mouse a root backwards, and not have to restart the level, that would have been convenient.

The core mechanic is really solid though. I'd play through a full-length game of these levels.

[HTML5] Bodenhorizont by minotalen 2021-04-27T18:49:53Z ♥ 3

Plantasia was a good choice for the soundtrack :P One of my favorite albums and well suited for the game. This is one of the more interesting games I've played in the jam. The jam's theme works well to give the player a goal without telling us anything. I felt like the game as a whole comes together (with the soundtrack) really well as an art piece, with something to say. Going back after I had collected each note and the treasure and looking at my roots and the decisions I had made was really nice :) I tried to collect all the seeds and flowers too, but sadly I softlocked myself behind my own root system :( Really cannot emphasize how much I enjoyed this one!

P.S. I also made my entry in puzzlescript. I thought there was a hard limit on sprite size at 5x5. Now I know that is not the case! haha

Deep into the Volcano by JoelChrono12 2021-04-27T13:42:14Z ♥ 3

The platforming in this is really fun! The jetpack is great in my opinion, I like that it can be used to correct your jumps just a little bit, but isn't too strong. I'd be excited to see more levels!

She Waits Below by AbigailCorfman 2021-04-27T12:55:41Z ♥ 2

The writing is really good! I really liked your puzzles. I'm a big fan of horror, and more surreal things. It's really crazy how much this text adventure was right up my ally. Great work!

Lost Core of the Underworld by wisedawn 2021-04-27T12:44:07Z ♥ 1

Your writing is nice. I also liked the combat system! Good job :)

Deep Sea Phishing by Literal Games 2021-04-27T12:29:53Z ♥ 3

I made sure to scam the baby everytime, even if he did remember people's birthdays. Fun game! Each minigame was enjoyable, and it had some pretty good humor. Nice work!

Cliffhanger by Lamamour 2021-04-27T12:23:07Z ♥ 2

This would be a fun party game, but even with the AI I had fun! I was able to win a few rounds ;) good job!

Aquanaut by EvilScotsman 2021-04-27T01:03:05Z ♥ 2

The art and music are great, and I really liked the controls. Lot of fun! Seeing the anglerfish come up filled me with dread - but then seeing that he was the long lost friend made me laugh out loud! Great job all :)

Call of the Abyss by Rein 2021-04-27T00:49:29Z ♥ 1

The sound and lighting really set the mood :) sometimes the hook would flop around a bit when I got stuck in a small cranny - but I really enjoyed having to angle it right to catch the correct object and drop the wrong one. Great job!

The Search for Catlantis by TheEarthAbides 2021-04-27T00:33:00Z ♥ 3

The art and music are great! I love the cat :) but also the stuff like the pufferfish exploding are fantastic! Especially when you get a chain reaction going. Really well put together, fun arcade game :)

Lost Poem by PlovGuru 2021-04-27T00:29:36Z ♥ 3

Fun and simple game! I liked the art design and music. I also really appreciate the comments describing the process you guys went through designing and making the game! It's fascinating to see how other people work.

How to Swim! by backurio 2021-04-27T00:23:53Z ♥ 1

This is like a better QWOP, at least from my perspective. The swimming mechanics are weird but fun, and make sense after a little bit of trying, and being able to mess up but not restart helps eliminate any frustration. The music and SFX were also really good. I did notice one bug - when I click out of the tab, the music continues to play but stutters. I'll probably come back to play this one more later! Great job :)

Snake Oil by OrdiNeu 2021-04-26T23:55:34Z ♥ 2

The art and writing for this game are really fantastic! It all, combined with the music, really make for an enjoyable game. I also liked the slots gameplay - making me think about what to add to machine was a clever idea. Great job!

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-26T23:37:54Z ♥ 1

I unfortunately did not collect the golden berries in time :( The pixel art was really good - particularly the UI/HUD. Great job!

RUN FROM STUFF (2D Chase Game) by PookiPoot 2021-04-26T23:28:02Z ♥ 2

I really liked the zoomed out perspective of this game. The jumping was really satisfying, being able to leap over multiple obstacles was a lot of fun.

Gold Digger by ThatmanRobin 2021-04-26T23:21:14Z ♥ 2

The fun factor in this one is really high! My only critique is the camera is a bit close and sometimes spins a bit fast for my taste - otherwise a solid game. The voice acting was very funny, and I liked the music!

Embark by Pseudohausen 2021-04-26T23:13:49Z ♥ 1

This is a good idling game! I really liked the general mood and vibes while playing - everything from the sound/music to the intro text haha.

Deep Purple by BridgeOnAStick 2021-04-26T23:10:02Z ♥ 1

I liked these puzzle mechanics! The momentum from moving blocks reminds me of Celeste, and was a lot of fun. The sound effects and general sound design is also really good. Great work! (also small note, but glad to see my favorite color represented so well :P)

Deep Voice by mdotedot 2021-04-26T20:51:40Z ♥ 2

The audio control gimmick is a lot of fun. I also liked the pig avatar!!! When pigs fly indeed ;)

Horrible Prototype by Offlical 2021-04-26T19:46:27Z ♥ 1

I know it's just a prototype but I did try speedrunning it :) My PB is 2.751, and since I'm the first poster, I'm assuming it's also WR ;)wr_ld48_offlical.PNG

CHROMAHOLIC by Secret Magic 404 2021-04-26T19:20:41Z ♥ 1

I really like the art direction in this one! The color palette and pixel aesthetic are right up my alley, and the lights dimming is really spooky - it looks like they are moving further away, which actually gave me a bit of a scare! Really cool :)

Miner Rescue by Vasco Freitas 2021-04-26T18:38:24Z ♥ 2

The controls took a little bit to get used to, but once I came to really appreciate how the ship handled! It was fun having to both aim my ship to hit the enemies and consider my momentum so I don't crash. This is a fun one!

Swarm! by Ghost_Wave 2021-04-26T17:52:38Z ♥ 1

The art direction is really nice! I like the retro feel.

God's Arteries by Gunturtle 2021-04-26T16:22:31Z ♥ 0

You were right when you said hard! But it's very rewarding too. And good use of the theme - it worked really well, having a platformer where the goal is to go down, rather than up or to the side.

Ziggurat by nethead 2021-04-26T16:16:18Z ♥ 2

Really liked this one! The music and art were great - and the mechanics were intuitive. I saw that you made the explicit decision to go no shooting only platforming, which I think was the right move for this kind of game. Only critique is that it was not intuitive how to get to the second level once I got the key - otherwise, I liked how easy it was to pickup and learn the mechanics without being told.

Really inspiring game - gave me lots of ideas!

Through The Crust by sweer 2021-04-26T15:51:12Z ♥ 0

Surprisingly hard, but a lot of fun! Great job :)

Penguins can't fly by Attala 2021-04-26T14:29:46Z ♥ 1

Penguins might not be able to fly, but this guy sure is pretty durable! Lots of fun, and the art is great!

Cave Runner by Sir. Syko 2021-04-26T13:15:23Z ♥ 1

Nice one touch controls! The slowdown before each obstacle is helpful:)

Sleep Walls by drom1x 2021-04-26T13:12:55Z ♥ 1

I really liked the controls, and the graphics. This is one of those games that you could sit and play for a long time.

Find The Page! by Rouge_dragon 2021-04-26T13:08:36Z ♥ 1

I've played this sort of game plenty of times on my own, but adding specific levels and the UI on top really does add a lot to it. Nice work!

Root Deeper by BrielleY 2021-04-26T13:06:32Z ♥ 1

I really enjoyed the simulation :) dropped me right in, but I quickly got the hang of it. Good job!

Surface by lb01 2021-04-26T13:03:02Z ♥ 1

I think this is probably one of the better integrations with the theme I've played - the goal was specifically to go deeper, rather than just something that occurred by happenstance. I also really like the low poly graphics. Lots of fun!

Bat and Spider Cavern by Greg the Egg 2021-04-26T12:59:29Z ♥ 2

Simple but fun game! I enjoyed the music, keep it up!

Nostril Navigator by Xenon27 2021-04-26T12:55:07Z ♥ 1

Gross, but necessary.

Into The Depths by Nisovin 2021-04-26T12:53:40Z ♥ 2

I really liked this one. Reminded me of a few of my favorite flash games as a kid.

Down the Dwarvern Hole by TheseusInABottle 2021-04-26T12:49:25Z ♥ 2

I really liked the sound! The music and voice acting were great :)

Kill Yasuhiro by Spydercrawler 2021-04-26T12:47:22Z ♥ 2

I liked the slow down mechanic- and the fact that the music slowed down too was cool!

Sid by Stuartc 2021-04-26T12:38:55Z ♥ 1

I like mechanics like this, where you have a helpful item that you also have to be sure to take care of/stick around for some reason. The lamp was a great idea!

Deep into the vibe by Ariorick 2021-04-26T12:35:29Z ♥ 1

I like the concept! The spinning of the platforms was fun and interesting. I could see this being expanded with several more songs!

DEEPER by eboatwright 2021-04-26T02:24:55Z ♥ 0

Fun game! Reminds me a bit of Downwell. I could see myself playing this for a while.

Tato - Potato by Noel Widmer 2021-04-26T02:21:52Z ♥ 1

Fun game! the rain slowing you down was a little scary even :O

Magic Frontier by Firebelley 2021-04-26T00:59:43Z ♥ 3

Fun game! Some nice feel when I place towers or win a level. Great job!

Rover goes deeper by pfeyffer 2021-04-26T00:55:51Z ♥ 1

Clever puzzles! The mechanics are intuitive and layer on top of each other well

Beautiful blob by Hestrateja 2021-04-26T00:53:09Z ♥ 1

God that music is fantastic. I really enjoyed this one - the changing face got me hooked to see what look the blob fish would have next. Great work!

To the Center of the Earth by oda 2021-04-25T23:12:41Z ♥ 1

Simple, but fun game. Could see myself sitting and playing for long stretches of time.

The Life Aquatic by Cary Stanley 2021-04-25T22:59:05Z ♥ 1

Very funny game :)

A Shallow Dive by onnofal 2021-04-25T22:54:42Z ♥ 1

Your music is a lot of fun! Weirdly somber and spooky, but enjoyable. Fun and quick game!

Submergence by TomekS 2021-04-25T22:50:05Z ♥ 1

The art for the submarine is fantastic :) going around catching fish was fun!

Oil Driller: Deeper and Deeper by Kittenhunter 2021-04-25T22:43:29Z ♥ 1

Fantastic sound design! Lots of fun, and great use of the theme!

Minor Inconvenience by 1studio 2021-04-25T22:36:53Z ♥ 1

Fun game! Great pixel art

great use of the theme! I like the concept a lot :)

Into The Abyss by nanoblit 2021-04-25T18:17:10Z ♥ 2

Fun mining game! I really like how you maintain momentum as you fall, makes it fun to fall down :)
