LD49 — Unstable

The Legend of Error by rogual 2021-10-05T10:58:42Z

I love the atmosphere in this game! Comfy graphics, comfy audio. The game is not too hard and not too easy. I like the concept and theme of the game. Personally, I would make it a little bit more obvious which tiles are cleared and which aren't by making the cleared ones green en the uncleared red or something. Overall fun to play game, good job!

Theory by agentparsec 2021-10-06T08:32:56Z

I never expected to play a game that uses 'the observer effect' as a game mechanic, how cool! Also nice story and art, very cute character! Fun gameplay! I would've liked to have checkpoints in the level. Overall, solid game! Great job!

Soul Quest by negator2vc 2021-10-05T15:39:53Z

The art looks good! I would've liked to have a little bit more control over the character like moving up and down to avoid enemies, because the attack doesn't charge up fast enough to be able to defend yourself from incoming enemies some times and that can be frustrating.

Corruption TD by Mysticaldev 2021-10-05T17:10:35Z

It was fun to figure out a strategy and win the game! Good job!

Fragile Arms: A Sci Fi Story by Phlip45 2021-10-05T22:26:04Z

I was confused about what to do first, but once I figured out the weapon crafting system it was smooth sailing... It was fun to play and I love the sound effects you made! Good job!

Atomic Decay by Zahab_AQ 2021-10-06T15:35:17Z

I liked it! Mixing colors is fun! It was a little frustrating that I kept automatically picking up everything on my path when I didn't need those, but that's part of what makes it difficult! Good job!

Unstable mage by Trizalio 2021-10-05T16:56:48Z

I love the sprites, very cute! After a while enemies stopped appearing and I wasn't sure what to do. Nice concept and game!

Space and keys by JavaSaurus 2021-10-06T09:08:56Z

It was fun to play! Nice graphics! My ship got hurt really bad because I didn't know you also had to press space bar when typing, I would've liked it if the game just skipped spaces. All in all, fun little game, good job!

Mint by Préda 2021-10-05T23:17:30Z

I enjoyed the thick atmosphere of your game! I was pleasantly surprised by the gravitation-less game play as well! Very nice art! Story is nice too. All in all, a comfy experience! Would've liked the ability to run at some points in the game, or maybe that's just me being a speed runner!

Since you asked in the description, here's a link to to my game, please enjoy: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/captain-peggles

Unstable Business by LukeWaffel 2021-10-05T16:14:08Z

Nice game, I like the player character! I would've liked it if there was a penalty for hitting the ground upside down! Good job!

Beer Quest by jepjoh2 2021-10-05T16:30:57Z

I love the feel of this game! I couldn't figure out how to actually brew beer with the ingredients that I had, I clicked on the little cauldron and gave me a window saying "what should I brew today?" but no other options. I wish it would explain it a little better somewhere! But I really enjoy the extend of what you can do in the game, makes you feel free to experiment and do whatever you want! All in all, I liked it!

Russian Connect by YellowKamel 2021-10-05T22:08:24Z

Man, I was really getting into it, but at some point the noise sfx glitched out and I just heard noise constantly. But I love the concept, the gameplay, and I love your voice! Great game, really fun!

Everyone Calls Me Johnny by Magic_mike 2021-10-06T10:13:33Z

I had fun playing it! The constantly changing rules makes for a nice variation in gameplay, very clever! I would've liked the weapon to have a little bit more punch and screen shake! Nice game, good job!

WobblyWords by Dannyk1994 2021-10-06T08:57:55Z

Fun concept! I wish you could make longer words. Unfortunately, at one point the screen went black while the music kept playing. I enjoyed playing it, good job!

Mt. Deep Space by Kimberly 2021-10-06T08:41:20Z

I love the music! I also love the health mechanic where the characters just fall out of the ship, very funny. The shooting didn't feel satisfying enough, I would've liked it being weaker but a lot faster, for example. Good game!

Hammer Keep by BadPiggy 2021-10-05T22:18:10Z

It's fun, it's challenging! Clever mechanics, overall a great experience! Good job!

The Lesser Evil by Jon Topielski 2021-10-07T19:33:18Z

Haha, I love it! Instead of getting upgrades every round you get downgrades, genius! Challenging and fun, good job!

Willy on a Wheel by POBIX 2021-10-05T16:19:32Z

It's challenging and fun! If I had to change something it would be making it a tiny bit easier to de-accelerate since if you go too fast now it's like a death sentence! Good game!

【night trade】 by jonah 2021-10-05T12:39:32Z

There were some glitches where the graphics got misaligned with the slots when trading but overall it's a pretty comfy game! Love the dancing person!

Tumble Transport Inc. by ToSMaster 2021-10-06T09:18:18Z

Fun game, I love trying to fit things in to a little space! Fun mechanics! Great job!

2nd Law by Hawkin 2021-10-05T15:54:44Z

I can't stress this enough, I love the atmosphere in this game, I just wanna be there. Amazing job! If there's one thing I would add to it, is something to make it more obvious that the player character does something that causes the rock to fall, that would've been nice.

Crazy Cauldron by Quite Good 2021-10-08T20:48:08Z

The graphics, mwah, so good! The music, scumptious! Also fun to play! Good game!

Disturbed Void by haivron 2021-10-05T12:44:11Z

I really like the main character! Personally, I think it would be a lot more fun if you could dash repeatedly really fast! Good job!

Happy Stable by Meita 2021-10-06T09:25:27Z

Man... This is hard! I love the concept! Would've loved an easier mode where the controls aren't rotated on your keyboard! Good game!

Crumbly Castle by Tuile 2021-10-09T10:15:10Z

I love the atmosphere in this game, very comfy, I really felt like I was at the beach! Ofcourse, there were some bugs that stopped me from progressing, but seeing past them I think the gameplay is really fun and creative! Good job on the game!

An's Table by Iacopo 2021-10-06T10:05:36Z

I enjoyed playing it! Bullet hell meets time management, genius! Some satisfying feedback when you deliver would've been nice, like a sound that plays when you deliver the food. Good job!

Unstable Magic by Final Act 2021-10-07T10:05:52Z

I really enjoyed playing it! Very straight-forward gameplay and easy to grasp gameplay concepts, you just know what to do. The difficulty curve was nice, it was quite challenging around wave 7! If you would ever expand the game I'd like to see the player character be able to pick up different spells to have some variety in attacks! Good job!

Snatched by cerieyele 2021-10-05T12:55:48Z

Enjoyable, difficult gameplay. I love the way you have to control your character. Great music, funny sound effects!

I can't remember by chesiq 2021-10-05T11:19:08Z

I enjoy the creepy atmosphere in this game! I find it difficult to accurately tell when I'll collide with something that decreases your health... The red baby sure is really scary though!

LD51 — Every 10 seconds

10 Snekonds by YogurtTheHorse 2022-10-05T15:07:36Z

Love the graphics, good job.

LD52 — Harvest

Dreamcatcher by 6smith 2023-01-10T11:30:31Z

Thank you for this experience, it was really sweet. The whole thing is so atmospheric, so dreamy, I love it! Very very well done on the art direction, I could really feel as if I was there, jumping on those rooftops and catching people's dreams! The gameplay was also a joy, making circles and slices to catch and kill! Very comfy game! Good job everyone!

Vegan Vince by Sipfindel 2023-01-10T09:02:26Z

The cool pixel sprites are the first thing that drew me to this game, but the gameplay is also very satisfying and funny. I love how you end up on a mountain of vegetables. It was really fun, good job team.

They Hide in the Fields by Hawkin 2023-01-10T11:43:44Z

Really endearing experience, thank you! It's so atmospherically rich, especially with the excellent audio design, really great job @hawkin, it's been a real pleasure to play!

The Pets Over The Innsmouth by 21st Century 2023-01-10T09:38:29Z

Massive credit to the team for this amazing little game, it was really really enjoyable! Let's start with the art because that's my thingy. So. Darn. Cute! And funny! The creatures and the little things they do, makes my heart melt! The comic panels are so good, so funny and cocaine for my eyeballs! Thank you artist(s)! The gameplay is also so fun! I really feel like I'm Mr. Octopus himself, watching over these little critters and giving them all the gatorade, berries and sleepy tents they need. And then collecting my well-deserved souls of course! Scrumptious laid-back game. Was a really nice game all-throughout. Thanks team, great job!

Some buggies/issues: The creatures would often try to enter tents that were already full, walking between them while ignoring the ones that weren't occupied yet. When you splat them while sleeping, the ones that are sleeping nearby were fleeing while still sleeping. One time one fell off the map at the top and I wasn't able to collect the soul.

LD57 — Depths

Captain Peggles: That Man's Chest by Sheepolution 2025-04-12T13:50:44Z

@cure Thank you so much for sharing the video, it was really nice to watch you play! And also thanks for playing our game of course. You shared some really useful tips there, like letting the player know they will lose their map if they fail too many times, before they do the double checking part. And I'll absolutely make sure to add a whole lot more tile variety for the steam version of our game, hahaha. And thank you so much for the compliments as well! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! <3

Captain Peggles: That Man's Chest by Sheepolution 2025-04-13T07:54:36Z

@coleslaughter One small phallic shaped drawing and it's over for us! 😭

But seriously thank you guys so much for playing our game! It was really nice to see you guys play together like that, just messing around, laughing together, drawing the map together, thinking together... It's exactly the kind of experience we want to give players with our game! It was so funny to see you guys just doing whatever trying to double check that last treasure, then realizing Peggles will tear the map in half if you don't find the spot next try, and then seeing you guys lock in like "Oh sh-... now it's getting serious!" Thank you so much for playing the game and for the lovely compliments!! ❤️

X Terminator Sim 2036 by vknauss 2025-04-08T20:09:00Z

Nice game guys. Especially liked the part where at the end I got so sick of having to defeat the same enemy spider that it gave me the hateful fuel I needed to keep exterminating them. Wish there was a gun upgrade though so I could do it more efficiently. The fact the levels are randomly generated is a nice touch! Keep it up!

Moos from the Depth of Space by notnasiul 2025-04-08T17:16:43Z

Love it! This is the kind of game I always wanted to make as a kid! Now I don't have to make it, because I can just play this game that you made instead! Haha. Ha. Anyway it was deliciously fun and a pleasure, thanks for allowing me to play it!

Deep Dark Difficult by Shess 2025-04-08T16:19:56Z

Nice game, having a lot of options for different paths is always interesting, also for replayability! I tried to do a food only run, but never managed to feel completely satisfied! But hey... it's a dungeon, not an all you can eat buffet! Fun game, good job, and thanks for letting me play it!

Steve the Smith by Adam Martin 2025-04-08T18:09:29Z

It's a charming little game! I felt like I should be able to jump up off of a wall, but I frustratingly so couldn't! Keep it up, thank you!

Roots by gemcc 2025-04-17T19:18:43Z

This is a really cool idea. I would like to see a post-jam version of this with some more variety in gameplay! Good job, keep it up!

Scavenger Deep by hope42morrow 2025-04-08T16:30:02Z

This game is a vibe. What a thick atmosphere, I love it! And holy moly, those animations! Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!

Jellyfish Jump by fraanns 2025-04-08T20:51:58Z

hy534yte.png

No fuss, just straight to the point, I love it! It rides that fine line between being too easy that it's boring and too difficult that it's frustrating, it's just perfect! Good job balancing the game! I initially thought that I had to avoid the blowfish because of how spiky it looked, but I quickly figured out it was actually a jump pad. Games taught us to avoid spikes, but you're not afraid to defy rules that others have set for us in the past, respect! Good job and thanks for letting me play it!

STOCK DEPTH by shp 2025-04-08T21:38:10Z

Is it rigged to only go down after you bought shares, just like the real stock market? Haha... It's a fun and interesting experience to play, thank you! Really makes you feel like you're the frog with impending crippling debt, good job! Keep it up!

Minion No. 1067809362 by ZuhairGhias 2025-04-09T18:49:51Z

Not gonna lie, you got me with those holographic spikes! Good game, well done!

Sammich Snatcher by Stacy Davidson 2025-04-08T19:48:53Z

Game so difficult, made me think about what things are truly important in life. Well done, thank you!

A Soggy Situation by SvenErik 2025-04-08T16:58:49Z

"It's a prank bro." LMAO! It was too difficult for me, I had to ask my older brother to beat the level for me. Thanks for the experience! Good job!

bucketbot by YellowKamel 2025-04-08T21:24:52Z

I love games with physics! The game feels really nice to play. It was also really funny when a frog gets hit by the bucket and falls down. The music is a little bit too repetitive for me. It was real nice, thanks for letting me play it, and keep it up!

Heavy Anhinga by Koolruz 2025-04-08T17:43:33Z

Love seeing minimalist pixel art styles like this one. Charming to say the least. Love it!

F.F.R.E.D. by sunday_driver 2025-04-08T20:43:12Z

What a lovely game! I enjoyed exploring the world and stumbling upon these dinos. The fights proved to be quite challenging. I also love the little locator arm thingy haha! Keep it up!

Twisto the Anteater by MTabasco 2025-04-17T19:00:27Z

Thanks for adding volume controls, really nice. Also the game, really nice. The gameplay is really innovative and it took me by surprise. A game I didn't know I needed in my life. Thanks for the experience!

Turtle slide by Ansible 2025-04-08T14:55:33Z

The calm and soothing minecraft-like background music was the only thing keeping me from slamming my fist through my screen after falling all the way down and losing all my progress. It was nice to play, thanks!

Dante's Mini-Golf by braktheman 2025-04-08T17:51:50Z

Love it, actually felt like I was in hell while playing this! Going all the way back to the tutorial every time? Now that's EVIL! Love it. Thanks!

Scampi by apoly 2025-04-08T20:34:02Z

greyge5r4.png

One of the only games where it was fun and engaging the entire way through the game. I was honestly sad that it was over. The game is a vibe and a half. I think I'll download this one and keep it so I can play it again some other time! Most underwater games I played similar to this one are annoying to play, but this one is nice and comfy! Good job on the unique gameplay, I love the arms on the submarine, especially once you have 5 of them and they're long and fast! Thanks for the experience!

Delver by 6len 2025-04-08T21:10:20Z

That was an interesting experience, I'm glad I played it. The gameplay is surprisingly cozy, good job! It was also pretty funny that when I grab the powerup on a floor, I get a menu with a blue screen and white text, and every time I think I'm getting a blue screen of death. Good job and keep it up, thank you!

Burger into the Depths by zjuWindKing 2025-04-08T16:05:18Z

In a sea of complicated and often overwhelming games, this humble entry is like a cozy little island where I can take a little rest and just enjoy and refresh myself. And a joy it was indeed. Loved this little gem, simple but satisfying! Thank you!

Kind of deep waters by 7uc4s 2025-04-08T16:41:02Z

It was a nice game play in the background while I was talking to someone in a phonecall. Relaxing and challenging at the same time! Good job, keep em coming!

Winda 47 by Iwant_Pizza 2025-04-08T14:05:51Z

A nice and refreshing unique experience! First thing I really appreciated about it was how you can change the volume and language in the taskbar of the in-game computer, very nice. It was already really nice to see the clay graphics, and combined with the other graphics of the game it made for a very rich atmospheric vibe overall. I also like the idea of being a cop who has to inspect the pc of a killer, it felt adventurous! Good job, and thanks for the experience!

DATE IN THE DEPTHS by WHOLE GARBAGE SALE 2025-04-08T17:06:58Z

What a pleasantly goofy game. What a pleasure to play this well put together game. Funny and atmospheric? Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!

DeepSigma by Ssebaaa 2025-04-08T17:28:00Z

Thanks for reminding me of "sad violin". Funny game. Thanks!

Project helix by voli 2025-04-08T15:17:00Z

Nice concept with having to apply the potion to your skin and being able to adjust the strength of the effects based on how deep you apply it, never seen this done before!

Down the Rabbit Hole by Mirinae 2025-04-08T16:52:24Z

Nice Undertale gameplay, I always wanted to see more games with that kind of gameplay. My strat? Hit 'em with the bottom left option to make them vulnerable, and then clap them with the bottom right one a couple of times. Works every time. Also the death screen made me laugh out loud, caught me off guard. Thanks guys.

Rise to the Unknown by RaiiNamoor 2025-04-08T15:44:38Z

It was fun to figure out how it works, and once it clicked it felt really good! Art, good. Vibe and atmosphere, good. Gameplay, good. The only negative thing I have to say about it is the banging sound of the elevator can be a little overwhelming... I also loved the feeling of thinking I was doing well and safe, but then seeing the fog rise up from under me and being like "Oh, F- the fog is coming!" What can I say, except... great job on a great game! Thank you for the experience!

Life&Depth by Jacky San 2025-04-08T21:17:55Z

It certainly is the art that drew me in to try the game, very nice! Smart move to help the player with those arrows, it certainly helped me, that's for sure! The sound when you're almost out of oxygen is a little annoying, I don't want to know what that sounded like in the HTML5 version with broken sfx... Anyway, overall a well put together little game. Good job, keep it up!

Trip to Australia by Boban005 2025-04-08T17:35:59Z

The movement mechanics are very satisfying, I could imagine myself having way too much fun with those once I get good at the game! Thanks!

Tito's Adventure by nülo 2025-04-08T21:31:33Z

Do I need to say it?? The art is cute! The game is a little on the short side, but that's what makes it so good for speedrunning, haha. For what it is, it's really good! Thanks, and keep it up!

LD58 — Collector

PhishScape by Jezzamon 2025-10-07T13:48:24Z

Great job man. Perfectly hits that nostalgic itch and also a funny game mechanic of stealing passwords. I didn't get to figure out how to get the key to the door but you said the game wasn't finished so maybe that's just the end of the game, or I'm blind. Either way, I enjoyed it, well done!

PhishScape by Jezzamon 2025-10-07T15:39:31Z

@wouter52 While playing I figured that might be the case, I assumed the items listen on top right of the game is your inventory, if it wasn't then I missed the true inventory. From the 3 players that were in the first area, I only managed to hack one of them, and that account only had 30 gold and a red potion(?).

Chilly Sea Dogs by bitdecay 2025-10-07T18:36:12Z

Nice puzzle elements, great art and music, and eating the seals was extremely satisfying. Good job everyone!

LD59 — Signal

Waiter Waiter by block97 2026-04-22T18:34:01Z

Keep quiet lady, I just wanna play games on my phone! Amazing experience, thank you everyone!

Badcaster Shneebly by Blue Pin Studio 2026-04-22T18:18:56Z

I love Shneebly!

Numbus Crossing by Mavvy 2026-05-01T16:41:55Z

Had a lot of fun dancing in between regulating the traffic! Perhaps if the delays between animations were shorter dancing would've looked even better than it already does! The game itself is nice, and the music was really enjoyable too! Good job!

Signalchain by WouterK12 2026-04-22T18:01:07Z

Never played a puzzle platformer like this before, awesome! And this lore goes deep! Man, and what a twist at the end with the user input thing. Wish I had known it before, then I would've put in something much funnier! Anyway, good game, good job you guys!

Follow my ski-gnal! by Ansible 2026-04-22T18:06:54Z

Where's that yeti? Also dang difficult, but in a good way! Good job!

Synesthezoo by TheLastSlowpoke 2026-04-22T17:31:58Z

This was actually really fun to play, thank you! Unfortunately I didn't make it past level 11, it was too challenging for me, but that it's difficult is part of what made it so engaging. Also love the concept with the animals singing. All in all, a good game, good job everyone!

Téloche by Magalix 2026-04-22T17:45:39Z

It was a lot of fun trying to get a flawless run! I also love all the different animations and that there were more than you get in a single run! And ALSO I didn't know they also have that Lingo TV program in France! (We also have a dutch version of it in the Netherlands) I love it, good job everyone!

Sci-Null Runner by WeGlove 2026-04-21T15:59:32Z

I love the art, reminds me of the legendary 'Revenge of the Sunfish', very nice. Also haven't seen this kind of gameplay before, very good. There was one issue with the audio being super loud, and that wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't for the fact that it somehow reset my sound settings every time something in game reloaded. Good job, everyone!

Smoky this Story by Libra_Nix 2026-04-21T15:53:34Z

I really loved the fact that he could pop the bubbles by blinking, amazing! I also loved the raccoon character, and above all, the voice acting was phenomenal! ("Special thanks to the voice actor", I would also like to personally thank the voice actor.) Good job, everyone!

Meerkat Maniac by Mamboman 2026-04-21T15:34:32Z

Short and sweet! Really makes me feel like I'm the meerkat, good job!

No Signal West by Topling 2026-04-21T15:44:57Z

It was really satisfying to mow down hordes of zombies with the shotgun. Also really nice art, I appreciate that you guys made eight orientations for the main character, now that's effort! Good job!
