LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Jetpack Caverns by Mental Atrophy 2014-04-28T15:48:00

Ireally loved your entry: the graphics and the music are really good, the gameplay is fun, the game is hard without being too hard. The powerups are just a bit useless. Well done !

Crystal Myth by TeamInCharge 2014-05-02T14:31:00

The game lags a lot, the gameplay is not obvious at all. Still, the graphics are nice.

Damned Scouts! by Lama 2014-04-30T10:37:00

I'm a big fan. Big up for the graphics, the french singing and the fun behind !

Cave Beneath The Surface by davidllanos22 2014-05-01T15:01:00

Nice job, too bad it's unplayable with a touchpad however.

Dwarf by GhostID 2014-05-01T15:09:00

Good game, I liked the gameplay, the fog of war, and the fact that the game is not that easy. The hitboxes are a bit weird however.

Game of Roots by BubuIIC 2014-04-29T17:57:00

It was fun, the "can't go up" system is pretty nice. It lacks animation, but still, it's a fun game.

The Alien Miner by MAT4DOR 2014-04-28T13:29:00

I really liked the music for some reason ! Good job ! It remided be of Steam World Dig. Good job, even if it lacks some sort of ending :)

Skyboy by IonProgramming 2014-04-28T18:35:00

I like the music and the graphics, but the physics are very buggy ! Nice idea however.

Heavy Man by timtipgames 2014-05-02T13:26:00

Funny idea, the gameplay is a bit weird however. Still, the graphics and the audio are nice.

Doug: A Miner Inconvenience by Aaants 2014-04-30T11:03:00

Nice concept, I like the whole "inversed gravity" thing with the water, and the execution is well done.

Grow Little Tree, Grow! by elfeck 2014-04-30T12:20:00

Nice game, the ending message was a little weird,it's too bad you didn't have time to make us see the tree. Still, a good take on the theme.

Surface Dwellers and Pit People by Joseph Miller 2014-04-28T15:53:00

Simple concept, but well executed !

June 20th by Pierrec 2014-04-28T11:46:00

Genius ! I really liked your entry, the dialog was really really nice, and the ending was really touching.

Deep Dark Dank Dusty Musty Dirty Decrepit Massive Moist Manholes by CharlieLove 2014-04-28T16:46:00

Nice game, a little bit too hard even in easy mode, but the idea overall is fun !

P.F.G - Portable Forcepoint Generator by gabbsson 2014-04-28T11:25:00

Doesn't work for me, the window opens, sets a weird sound, and quits :(

P.F.G - Portable Forcepoint Generator by gabbsson 2014-04-28T11:28:00

(Windows 8 not updated, XNA Redist installed, Athlon II X3 460, Geforce 8800 GTS, some really slow hard drive)

The God Underneath by sam101 2014-04-28T12:27:00

Joseph Miller => Thanks ! The players are supposed to be at least 10 blocks away from the goal, it's random, so I guess you were just not lucky !

pht59x => Please make sure you're using a recent enough version of Firefox. It didn't work on Firefox 22 for me for example (because of missing window.requestAnimationFrame)

The God Underneath by sam101 2014-04-29T12:28:00

I've added a polyfill for browsers that do not support window.requestAnimationFrame, so it should work on more browsers now.

UndergroundRescue by Hackingroelz 2014-04-28T12:01:00

You didn't think at people with azerty keyboards (but we can't blame you :) ).

I liked the idea, but the transitions were really too long ! The music was nice. It's a good game overall :)

Mine Story by donan 2014-04-29T14:52:00

Nice concept, well executed, I really liked the graphics :)

Dungeons Of Yeragr by Brunodev 2014-04-29T18:38:00

The controls are quite weird to understand and there is some polishing issues (like the game over text or some collision bug), but the graphics and the music is not bad. So, maybe you would need to work a bit more on the gameplay ? Still, a good start.

Ore Genesis by Genecyll 2014-05-02T13:17:00

Nice execution, not so innovative but still a good game, well done !

Balancitos by NickZangus 2014-04-29T13:38:00

I liked the concept, it made me laugh a bit ! The graphics are really neat. Well done !

Tetrix Zone by eskivor 2014-04-28T12:04:00

Good try, even if the controls seems quite weird on my computer

Beneath The Lab by Techblogogy 2014-04-29T14:06:00

Nice for 48h, even if I have found the game mechanics to be a little bit weird.

Grow by weazen 2014-04-28T13:35:00

I liked your game, it's catchy, simple and efficient ! I thought the root was going a little bit too slow, but I guess that's the reason why there is so many things in the way !

SuperSubSkin by Statman 2014-04-29T18:06:00

The game is fun, a little bit short. It kind of lacks explanations on what to do however :). Still, good job.

The Sub Marine - Alpha by marccspro 2014-04-29T18:22:00

Pretty fun game, the game is fast-paced, the gameplay is well done, it just lacks music. I enjoyed playing it ! :)

Superficial by JordanFitz 2014-04-30T10:11:00

I wa

Superficial by JordanFitz 2014-04-30T10:12:00

s not expecting this !

The Gamer by Rother Games 2014-04-28T15:31:00

I liked the pitch, the player movements and the controls are quite buggy, and it's hard to find what we have to do. But there is some nice idea behind !

Operation Nereids by ReactorScram 2014-04-29T18:46:00

Nice graphics, nice audio, nice animations ! The game lacks a bit of fun, but good execution, the bubble are nice. The level design is cool too, good job.

Roots by suppi 2014-04-29T18:41:00

I like the idea, there is some good concept, but the game is a little bit too slow for me ? (gameplay wise I mean !).

The Fields by ryangatts 2014-04-29T18:13:00

The file is a bit too big, the gameplay is a little too slow, but big up for the art, it is really awesome !

Pyramid Escape by MrJavaFrank 2014-04-28T15:18:00

I got blocked quite fast (but that's because I'm bad I guess :D), but the game is nice. I liked the intro (even if the little guy seemed weird ?) !

Engineer by Jeasonfire 2014-04-28T18:09:00

Nice game, even if the camera is a little bit too small in my opinion. The game is a bit frustrating (but maybe I'm just bad ahah), but overall it is very good !

Super Miner 2000 by ezombort 2014-04-28T18:29:00

The collisions are a bit weird, and it's frustrating in the second part of the game. But your game has a clear end, it's simple but efficient.

Forsaken Pit by Afrosatan 2014-04-30T12:40:00

The idea is nice, but the game is a bit laggy. Impressive that you used a Java backend.

Hopelessness by lantto 2014-04-30T11:25:00

Pretty cool game ! I really liked your take on the theme, and the music is pretty nice.

Search Beneath the Surface by halfmage 2014-04-30T10:50:00

I liked the ending :). Too bad it's missing some music !

2Metersbeneath by DrStahlbart 2014-05-02T13:55:00

I liked the graphics, but the game clearly lacks more gameplay elements !

Escave! by Simon@LD 2014-04-29T13:49:00

Nice game, the idea with the towers is nice, the art is good without being exceptional. Good job !

Drill Drop by sirikan 2014-04-28T16:08:00

I was not expecting the fact that you can not dig up ! The concept is nice, and well executed. It just lacks water/lava physics to be perfect ! The music is quite catchy too.

Atomicle - LostAutumn.net by AutumnGuy 2014-04-28T13:16:00

I have to say, this game is really cool ! The game is simple, the art (especially the music) is very nice. Congrats !

NecRobot by Zarkith 2014-05-02T13:37:00

Nice concept, well executed, even if it is not very innovative. Good work !

Bitxl's Kool Place by nigelmnz 2014-04-30T12:35:00

Bitxl's Kool Place by nigelmnz 2014-04-30T12:35:00

I just loved the concept ! It took me a long time to figure out the last part (but that's only because I try to look at the actual source code I guess)

Beneath The Surface by adamwoolridge 2014-04-28T16:32:00

Nice arcade game ! The mechanic is fun (the fact that enemies you don't see can touch you is a bit frustrating but well). Congrats !

Underline by eufrik 2014-05-02T14:06:00

Nice controls, at the begining I was lost, but when you understand the concept it just works. Congrats ! Good idea, well executed.

Sink by RPWhitaker 2014-04-29T13:55:00

I liked the graphics, the gameplay is engaging, even if it lacks music. However, the game is a little bit too hard for me :)

The Core Is Yours by 9joao6 2014-04-30T15:48:00

Interesting mechanics, even if I found the title screen to be the most funny part of the game !

Subocula by DrMelon 2014-04-29T14:24:00

I liked the idea, the cooldown time was too long however ! The game was really nice, the "mad world" idea is just weird and funny at the same time.

SlippyBlocks by pht59x 2014-04-28T10:42:00

Interesting concept, even if it's more a proof a concept than anything !

Drop Up by Shadow Dreamer 2014-05-01T15:16:00

Nice gameplay ideas, I liked the music, the game is pretty good (a bit frustrating quite quickly however), and the mood is clearly set. The metaphorical take on the theme is good ( Pretty nice execution, congrats !

Fridge Magnetism by pixelpig 2014-04-29T19:01:00

I have to say, the game was fun, i loved the pitch ! You made me laugh.

Warpigs by sorceress 2014-04-30T15:10:00

Where's the source code ?

Warpigs by sorceress 2014-04-30T15:22:00

The first games are frustrating, but once you understand the enemy AI the game is nice (a little bit too easy ?). I really liked the speed of the game, you can't spare a minute. Congrats !

Beneath the Mushroom by Zer0XoL 2014-04-28T12:17:00

It was nice, the controls are a bit weird but overall it is a good idea.

Beneath the Trolls by Dreauw 2014-04-28T18:39:00

Really impressive, the game is smooth, efficient, the levels are quite nicely made, well done !

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

To Continue by raincole 2014-12-08T03:44:00

I really love your take on the theme ! Your game is really fun to play, I didn't expect that at all.

You Can't Take The Space From Me by ZeronSix 2014-12-08T17:45:00

The OSX app won't open on my Macbook pro (Yosemite)

The Blues by jrbitt 2014-12-10T03:29:00

I guess there is no exit :). The music and the mood are really great.

Falling Dots by gikdew 2014-12-08T17:28:00

I liked the game, the concept is really cool and the execution is great (especially the graphics, too bad there's no audio) but:

- I kind of disliked the fact that there are ads, that's not the point of LD for me.
- It's sad that you didn't give the source

Entire Screen of One Game by Tom 7 2014-12-09T16:18:00

Whoah, that's a great idea.

AZOR by Hellequin 2014-12-08T21:46:00

Nope, a .exe won't run on OSX/Linux...

Star Grabber by mtinkerhess 2014-12-08T03:57:00

The player tends to do strange stuff when I press more than one arrow key at once, and the physics/mechanics of the moving "ball" in the room seemed really weird to me (I tried to use it like in 2D Zeldas, to make it a wall but it just got pushed again ?)

Never alone on this stupid screen by sam101 2014-12-08T04:30:00

mtinkerhess -> You can shoot without being shot actually :)

Never alone on this stupid screen by sam101 2014-12-09T04:01:00

shubshub -> Thanks for the feedback anyway, I'll reduce the volume of the sounds !

rabbit -> Thanks for the feedback anyway !

madmaw -> Yeah, the prediction/networking code for the lasers is kind of buggy unfortunately (it was my first take on a fast-paced multiplayer game :/)

Interezza by oskardevelopment 2014-12-08T17:41:00

Made me think at Risk, but still fun and efficient !

Maybe don't toggle full screen on first play ? Especially since there's nothing on screen telling me how to exit full screen :)

Let There be Pixels by TnT 2014-12-09T03:58:00

I didn't see the screenshots, so I wasn't expecting the snowman thing at all !

So, a mix of boulderdash and evoland, that's funny. Good job :)

Approaching Grace by Sam Oates Games 2014-12-08T17:55:00

Nice action shooter game ! I really really liked the music and the Binding of Isaac feeling and the fact that you control two people.

One life hero by komjaur 2014-12-08T03:21:00

Ahah, the second time I played i ended up locked in a small 5x1 corridor !

Good job however, the game is kind of fun, even if the fog of war is too narrow for me. I liked the music

ASDF ASDF by alesys 2014-12-09T16:26:00

Funny, quite a bit difficult, but the gameplay is fun. The game-boy like feeling is quite great, and the sound is cool (while not sounding 8bit however)

Bit Raiders (multiplayer) by Hexicube 2014-12-09T19:39:00

Ahah, your server/client protocol is fun. I liked the idea, even if I couldn't play a lot since there was no other players.

SnowMelt by JamesOfJames 2014-12-08T04:36:00

Ahah the tutorial at the begining is a bit slow, it made me shoot way too many snowball before the game began :).

Simple concept, but the execution is nice (I won't rate the graphics for obvious reasons).

Madeline's Daughters by oh_cripes 2014-12-08T14:22:00

Nice game, the mechanics are simple, but efficient, and the execution is great. Nice graphics too.

Shiftavoid by rob1221 2014-12-08T04:01:00

The game over is a bit frustrating sometimes ! But overall, I liked your take on the theme (I guessed the game screen is something like a smartphone screen ?), and the execution is cool. Good job.

Star Destroyer by RadioactiveRadium 2014-12-08T21:55:00

There's a typo in the window name :)

Lady Bug Alert by lionroot 2014-12-08T21:23:00

It's an interesting concept, but sometimes I really don't understand how I end up losing.

A Link Between Screens by trykondev 2014-12-08T04:04:00

The game is a bit harsh on the player: I died on the second level pretty fast from the enemy, and the tutorial screen is too slow (it was okay the first time but don't show it again when we die !)

However, I liked the "homemade" feel of the graphics, the sword usage just feels great too, the joke with the name is nice and I liked how you used the theme.

SCRAMBLE SLUG by rockford 2014-12-17T16:39:00

Nice take on the theme :)

An RPG For Ants by CheeseyBob 2014-12-08T04:13:00

I can of don't understand why it's a RPG and not an action game, but well. The screen is really small on my macbook pro retina on windows, but I it's not your fault I guess !
Still, some nice ideas, it lacks a bit of graphics but the gameplay is nice nontheless.

Meltdown by Lovro Kalinovčić 2014-12-08T03:16:00

I'm quite bad at your game, but still, the game is fun, maybe a little bit frustrating sometimes, but fun most of the time :)

Spiral Dungeon by Pcholt 2014-12-08T03:49:00

The game kinda lack interactivity (maybe I missed something on the controls ?). The graphics and the general idea of the insects following you is cool however.

I'm the robot. by Kaloqn 2014-12-08T17:36:00

Simple idea but quite efficient, and not bad for a good one.

It would have been cool if there was sound effects and a game over screen.

Fire in Cage by OpenGL 2014-12-08T04:15:00

I wish you thought at us, the poor guys with azerty keyboards :) . Too bad there is no sfx, the game has some good ideas and the graphics are very cool (and I liked the weird-color-blood-on-the-floor).

Coloring by RevoluGame 2014-12-08T21:28:00

That's a great concept (on mobile it would be perfect I guess) ! The difficulty curve is nice. Just make sure the page is centered around the game a little bit more, I had to scroll on my 1280*800 hiDPI screen.

Forever Falling by danielilett 2014-12-08T21:18:00

Except from the fact that you restart from the start when you die, the game is nice. The gameplay is original

Guiding Light by csaunders 2014-12-10T19:19:00

The first time I won instinctively, then I understood what was happening. Quite a nice game !

Escape by Jamjie 2014-12-08T03:51:00

On my macbook pro retina on Windows (2560*1600 hiDPI, 2X scaling), the window is taking too much space :/

Orion by gilead 2014-12-08T21:48:00

Quite short, but the concept is amusing.

rougish by kraln 2014-12-08T03:09:00

The game is hardly playable with an azerty keyboard, since it relies on the "." key..

SIRTET by stray 2014-12-08T17:50:00

Simple but so efficient idea. That's awesome.

Gnome's Dungeon by madmaw 2014-12-09T04:11:00

Quite a fun game, reminded me of a Bejelewed with a much better-thought gameplay with the ladders and the snakes and the annoying things-with-spikes-on-it.

One Screen by yosh 2014-12-10T03:23:00

I loved the end. Nice creative use of WebGL/Three.js, i liked the game effects, at first I was thinking "why is there always the same level with the same gameplay and graphics", but the road to the end of the game is pretty cool. Nice CRT effect too
