LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Asteroid(s) by jonsul 2014-04-30T17:46:00

This game is sweet. I figured out that your lazers can bounce off of each other. clearing the asteroids and filling the room with lazers is it's own reward for winning :3

The Deep by someone 2014-04-28T02:32:00

My first moment of confusion was from running into fish and losing health, I think that could be stated but is also pretty easily figured out. it's also kind of difficult to find your way back to the top of the level.

Snake Driller by Florent 2014-04-28T04:06:00

interesting game, the messages about the store were slightly confusing. I also thought that the black things were oil that would extend time but I guess they were coal cause they broke the drill. looks like a very good start for a game.

Abyssal Trek by Grouflon 2014-04-28T02:40:00

moving with the arrow keys is painful for me due to 3 of them having been torn off by my brother's cat. also moving is in my opinion too slow and it's difficult to go into the caves. maybe if the character collision area was a bit smaller to move through the doorways.

Beneath the GRID by xehbit 2014-04-30T17:54:00

that's a nice game. I agree with previous comments though. some indication of direction would have been useful. I've never played a game quite like this.

Sinking Feeling by Gwinnell 2014-04-28T00:57:00

when I click on the Windows link it takes me to a bad link page.

Grow Little Tree, Grow! by elfeck 2014-04-28T02:47:00

very fun little game. The minimal graphics gave me a sense of nostalgia that really took me back. my only two complaints. not seeing the full tree (you know but what can you do....) and the ending message. I think I won but can't tell for sure.

Fluid Mind by tinytouchtales 2014-04-28T03:10:00

amazing game. it took a while for me to figure out how it worked but once I did it was so fun. The music helped to keep the whole game in a relaxing mood.

Infinite Island by Andrew Adams 2014-04-28T04:01:00

fun game, however, the momentum to move and while moving left me feeling a little bit helpless.

The Tree by Joritan Cety 2014-04-28T02:37:00

The turret's shooting became a little bit annoying after a short time. the dash is an interesting concept but using wasd it was difficult to use shift or ctrl.

Office Simulator 2014 by FuzzyWuzzie 2014-04-28T03:37:00

I thought that this was quite interesting. I just busted out laughing when he started programming 99 bottles XD

Order of the Mind by Crefossus 2014-04-28T03:28:00

very interesting start, I had the same crash problem as commented above. I also don't think I could talk to Thomas.

Mystic Castle by xerohuang 2014-04-28T02:52:00

it was certainly interesting. but a little bit too fast paced for me. I had a hard time controlling the character.

deep down by Jan Peter (jpdev) 2014-04-28T03:32:00

I enjoyed this game overall. I thought that the sub was a bit hard to move, but then again anything underwater should be.

The World Beneath the Surface by CrocaDino 2014-04-28T03:54:00

That was wonderful. I was a big fan of tetris attack back in the days of the SNES (I have it on an emulator now) and always enjoy a good puzzle game.
on puzzle 14, it can be solved with 1 fewer move than is given. Great game.

Race Your Reflection by mashedtatoes 2014-04-28T02:28:00

I downloaded it but couldn't play it due to an error.
missing sfml-graphics-2.dll

Cave Invasion (Text-based) by Skencer 2014-04-28T03:38:00

Yeah sorry it said required field and this is my first time on Ludum Dare so I just put it in there. I put a comment to it in the description so as not to confuse anyone else. sorry omaha.

Cave Invasion (Text-based) by Skencer 2014-04-30T17:31:00

@Almost:
Firstly thank you for the feedback. I was hoping that saying "if you're confused ask for help" at the beginning would show people the help command, but I can see that it's a bit too vague.
for the healing thing, I could change it to ammount healed as opposed to ammount able to heal I had decided not to but may actually change that.
Lastly for the fight/attack thing. it should say that they aren't commands inside of combat/cave as opposed to in the game.
Are these things considered bug fixes that I can change even now?

Cave Invasion (Text-based) by Skencer 2014-04-30T19:25:00

yeah sorry about that Ellian. That happens on occasion but after looking up a lot of different things I can't find any way to fix that in the program. It's really unfortunate.

Spiel-Flache by omaha 2014-04-28T03:16:00

very interesting. I like the music, gave it an almost ominous feel. the sounds were really good.

Earth. by miwuc 2014-04-28T01:08:00

That was an awesome game. I love how you find the tools after digging around for awhile and the fossils are great.

Above the Core by bugninja 2014-04-28T02:58:00

looks nice considering that no graphics are required for the concept. other than that there seems to be little point to digging once you can explore to find gold unless diamonds can only be found on lower levels that you have to dig to.

Beneath the Trolls by Dreauw 2014-04-28T00:54:00

Awesome game, I love the click to dash mechanic. after I got the rockets I decided to try to get through levels without using them. Boy was that a challenge.
