LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deep Freeze Café by brian-mayberry 2021-04-26T16:54:58Z

I went so deep I felt xD Would have been cool to be able to carry multiple items at once. The freezer is beautiful, and the controls a bit hard to graps.

Le bateau ivre by thebmxeur 2021-04-26T00:08:46Z

I didn’t get it, can we play ? ^^

Le bateau ivre by thebmxeur 2021-04-26T15:49:21Z

I managed to play :D Really interesting experience, wow

No Way Up by gagapete 2021-04-27T08:52:24Z

Very very very interesting concept and interpretation of the theme ! One of the best concepts I’ve been able to test so far :D It doesn’t look very good but the gameplay is smooth and interesting.

Deep Voice by mdotedot 2021-04-26T16:24:21Z

Very original :) Nice job !

Legendelver by DroidDare 2021-04-26T16:49:22Z

Really cool idea. I don’t feel like I’ve understood everything though, maybe the end cards are too strong x)

Deep Miners by dimaswift 2021-04-26T16:35:19Z

Wonderfully hypnotizing

Get Rich or Dive Trying by Human Writes Code 2021-04-27T09:10:43Z

Cool game ! I took the time to finish it :) The controls are a bit hard to grasp and I think using relative direction would have been better with this camera angle. I had some bugs also, with my ship teleporting around when I hit walls (maybe it’s intended ?). Thank you for the game !

Submergence by TomekS 2021-04-26T00:05:23Z

Really cool music and tone. It felt weird at first, then I got completely immersed :P The art is gorgeous. Such a shame I’m so bad at navigating the vessel. I felt sad being prompted countless times we had to buy a new one because of me :’)

Moot by Peco 2021-04-27T09:16:43Z

INSANE ! The art is so good, wow wow wow !

Rogue Elevator by Danga 2021-04-27T15:49:19Z

Really cool game, the sensitivity was very hard to manage. Would have been a bit better if I was able to recover some health, it felt really punitive, I didn’t reach the end x)

Plunge by ZwodahS 2021-04-26T00:14:22Z

Really fun and effective :) Just a bit annoying to gain vertical speed and leave the screen for some time.

Diary of Sedah by azagaya 2021-04-26T16:50:35Z

Really well done ! Nice effort to put the option to skip levels :) The game is gorgeous and attacking with RMB + LMB felt really cool and powerful. It’s hard though xD

STARPOON by RedSPINE 2021-04-26T15:53:08Z

@zwodahs @giovannibarrottu Thank you for your feedbacks ! :) There’s no indicator of how far you’ve got but there’s an end to the game if you go deep enough. I’m really happy to hear the hook functioned how I wanted it to function ^^

STARPOON by RedSPINE 2021-04-26T15:54:44Z

@smt Thanks for the feedback, really happy to see people have enjoyed my game :3 Making it almost instinctively playable was one of my goal !

STARPOON by RedSPINE 2021-04-26T16:00:44Z

@tomeks Thank you so much :D I’m really happy with the music

STARPOON by RedSPINE 2021-04-26T17:43:19Z

@the-neon-shark I definitely agree with everything you said :) Thank you very much for such concrete and useful feedback. I haven’t investigated the bug yet, but it annoys me very much too. You’re the first to bring up performance issues on browser though :c Sorry for that !

STARPOON by RedSPINE 2021-04-27T08:45:44Z

@jrevel I’m sorry it’s not very clear how to progress, I’ve been told the UI isn’t instinctive too 😖 And yes the hitbox of the anchors don’t include their wave effect ^^ Thank you for the feedback ! I tried to design the beginning of the game to be some kind of tutorial, teaching you mechanics as you progress and try to find your way out 😁

@addnone Wow this is such a nice compliment. I’ll be thinking about it but the LD was already a pause from other work so I don’t know if I’ll give myself the time to do it ^^ Thank you so much for the feedback !

@azagaya Hi and thx for the feedback. The color palettes were designed by hand, but I didn’t have a tool to test them so I agree some of them are actually hard to bear and read x)

@phthalogold Thank you so much ! Yeah the danger of missing your hook was part of the design, though I agree in some situations it becomes way too punitive. I’m really sad about the bug, it appeared really late in development so I didn’t have time to address it effectively.

@anaxie-studio Hi and thank you for the feedback :blush: Did it lag constantly or was it only during color swaps ? The game isn’t optimized at all, and the code is 50% spaghetti haha

@dimaswift Oh wow thank you :flushed: it means a lot

STARPOON by RedSPINE 2021-04-29T17:16:34Z

@human-writes-code Hi and thank you so much :) Yeah the music was done in less than 20min at the end of the compo so I was tired and didn’t want to spend that much time on it haha, I definitely agree it’s not the best for the game

HYPERTUBE 3021 by Ben Taylor 2021-04-26T16:21:51Z

The sound design ! WOOOOW

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-04-26T00:06:57Z

Wow, I wasn’t expecting to face such a challenge xD Really cool game, it really shows how a dumb idea can turn into a wonderful funny experience. Thank you !

Gold Digger by ThatmanRobin 2021-04-26T16:19:00Z

Nice idea and execution, loved the sound design xD Sadly I didn’t find gold in the end, but had a good time nonetheless. Physics were hard to master, I got stuck countless times. You should lock the cursor though, so it stays invisible in the centre of the screen.

Vinewell by dpmzi 2021-04-26T00:10:33Z

Do I have to download the LOVE Engine to play the game ?

SPERMA by the neon shark 2021-04-26T16:43:01Z

Woooow insane xD Super smooth and well done, congrats !
