Fathom by Tristam MacDonald 2025-04-07T10:09:18Z

very cute, with a bit more feel and level design it can be a really nice little game! great job and good luck!

Echoes of the deep by BadPinkChicken 2025-04-07T09:36:28Z

you nailed the atmosphere of dark/light. it felt really deep! i liked it a lot great job!

Break The Tower by torcado 2025-04-09T05:54:28Z

damn, another Torcado's hit! such a clever game- i loved every aspect of it. the art is simple but with so much feel to it and its just works. the game design is a spark of addictive genius. really top notch entry here! loved it 5 stars!

Depth of Field by Gao Ming 2025-04-08T08:55:11Z

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! really an incredible job from the idea to the execution. the art and UI are so appeiling, and very easy to understand. each chapters was surprising and i like how used the mechanic in diffrent ways.

also, such a nice touch to make the menu as the tutorial and the credits as a nice interactive finale. I was hooked! Really one of my fav entries! great job!

St. Harold the Devout by bwalter 2025-04-07T09:55:07Z

cute but challenging! for me the cooldown of the limbs were a bit too long. i like the art alot and it felt good. loved it!

Enter Exit by DiscoFish 2025-04-07T04:32:53Z

i laughed so much from the intro! the art and the gameplay are really well done! I really enjoyed the simplistic of the mechanics.

ABSEIL by baknik 2025-04-07T19:24:14Z

it looked fun but was a bit too hard for me to control, maybe a easier starting point would helped me to practice a bit. anyway i did enjoy it!

Hollowspire by simex 2025-04-09T08:31:10Z

a soild 5/5! perfectly done. you should contiune working on it! congrats :)

Scavenger Deep by hope42morrow 2025-04-09T15:23:36Z

DESCEND with CAUTION by LightningST 2025-04-07T05:18:51Z

beautiful little gem! such a unique take on a platformer, I really like how you made the character controller and the overall feel. also the level design was good with great introduction at first and a challenge at the deep levels. great job!

Blind Depths by DeadCode 2025-04-08T08:47:38Z

i loved how you made the walls as a small clutterd pixels, it felt mysterious and magical! great exploration game!

Depths of the Mind by shtanton 2025-04-08T12:30:59Z

ok! it took me a while to understand, but when it clicked i think its a really great puzzler! with more push on visual queues and overall design- you can get a simpler ways to communicate the rules of the game. but you have something soild, and would love to you expand on this! great job~!

Faith-e-vator by BadPiggy 2025-04-09T12:25:59Z

so fun! i had alot of extreme moments there lol really liked the art and the overall feel!

i wished for some more mechanics of emphasising the idea of an elevator. maybe some strangers just coming in and out during some levels, haha just playing with the idea.

amazing little game, well done!

Enter the Cardgeon by Placeholders 2025-10-06T18:31:08Z

@zubspace hey there! thank you so much for the feedback, i really appreciate it <3 you actually got me realize I left the +1 HP card mechanic disabled!

because i still have time until the jam ends, i updated it and added more things from your suggestions!

-Joker will now appear at a specific amount of cards on deck so it will not be missable. -Health cards -Screen shakes, impact sounds and even more polish all-around.

thanks for the catch! and i'd love to hear your Thoughts on the newer version. cheers!

πŸ—¦β—ŽπŸ—§ by torcado 2026-04-22T16:30:46Z

so cool torcado, the mood was so solid, i was immersed instantly, the styling is amazing and I appricate the mystery of the game, from nothing to guide you to even your itch page design that lacks of any explenation, i dig it, congrats!

PING by christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2026-04-22T16:39:28Z

lovely entry, loved all the tiny details that made it to such a magical experiecne, i wasnt the best, but atleast i know how bats feel now. congrats!

ACEspionage by LetsSnack 2026-04-22T06:05:32Z

the aesthetics hooked me so easily, i like the world you created and the use of the theme as a card game is really cool. I think there was a lack of feedback to the duel iteself, also it took me a while to understand how to place cards(right click felt unintuitive to me).

but i won, and enjoyed it, congrats!

Do-roidhicky by Jacobloon 2026-04-22T05:48:18Z
