LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Squiddies decent by Rialgar 2021-04-30T17:38:11Z

Good maze game, nice visuals, the only complaint: it is very hard to die. You literally have to seat though tens of minutes before you lose. This game's gameplay is not engaging enough for that. I think having tighter requirements for the player (say, have smaller torch "bank" (maybe restoring torches every level to balance this out)) would help this game greatly. I would enjoy it much more if i died faster and had to learn from my mistakes. This is common gamedesign knowledge that it is just simply more fun than to see your past mistakes unravel slowly in front of you except for a strategy game (as this game does, in the matter of your missteps granting you less torches to work with in the next levels). Instant rewards. Instant punishments. Anyways, i liked the visuals and the idea is fun. Good job.

Slimefall by wilsk 2021-05-01T09:33:34Z

Poor controls, the game would benefit from health system greatly. The game idea is very original gonna give you that. It must have been quite a challenge to implement "physics". Would love to see this game finished and polished!

Shoot Them Deeper by pndaa 2021-05-01T06:34:32Z

What an original idea! Liked the game, but the amount of particles and glowing objects things makes in really hard to see at times.

Devil's Deep Dish by tweedle 2021-05-01T07:32:12Z

Charming, great looking, but the level is too long, there is not enough visual cue for taking damage, platforming is clunky and not enjoyable, i think the camera is too close + does not fit the game. It gets old fast and i think gameplay is the most important thing in games. I give this game it 5/5 for visuals, audio, mood and humour though.

Patchwork by Herman Chau 2021-05-01T06:43:51Z

Not a fan of this genre, can't say much about it, but have to admit this game is gorgeous.

Ludophile by Jack Lance 2021-05-09T09:36:24Z

i have only one question for you. 36.7k files. how and why. (okay, two questions). and yeah i couldn't make this game work. can you give us a little bit more info how this game was made? i'm positively thrilled.

Ludophile by Jack Lance 2021-05-09T13:44:00Z

@notan-lemon couldn't find this file

Ludophile by Jack Lance 2021-05-09T17:49:46Z

@notan-lemon so finding the executable is a part of the game? i think you should mention this in the description

Submerged Diver by Lev 2021-04-30T17:59:34Z

Don't have much to say, just a cool little game for 10 minutes play. I like how you approached graphical aspect. Also reminds me of old flash games and hungry shark series on mobile. More content and proper animations would be nice.

deeprooms.exe by yyam 2021-05-09T11:14:06Z

Original idea, but too repetitive and short on content. Honestly the way sound abruptly stops when you enter the new room is spooky. But then, i'm a big pussy when it comes to horror games. Cool idea, i was expecting cheap jumpscares, but found none. Thank you for that. Played without headphones btw like a punk i am.

DRYVER by GuitarBro 2021-05-09T07:27:48Z

Reversed mouse axis 0/5 reported for hate crime.

But seriously though... The game looks gorgeous, this might be the best looking 3D game i've played so far.Soundtrack is cool.

When you don't move the camera fov is pain. I understand that this is for the s t y l e, but having something closer to two digit number would be great cause unless you are moving you can't really see anything.

(And i think plasma relay is broken, you can't pick it up)

Disco Inferno by Simon Rahnasto 2021-04-30T17:22:05Z

A very fun game indeed! I like the setting and voice acting, humour and wit! What i didn't like is that levels get a little bit repetitive since there is no variation other than colours, but overall a very solid game.

Deep Marine by mineiwik 2021-05-09T11:21:04Z

Like the concept, but 1. Vector coin doesn't fit the pixel art style 2. Upgrades are too expensive and require grinding 3. Control with mouse or touchscreen would be tons better. Other than that, solid foundation for a game.

LD48: Down the Rabbit Hole by LMB 2021-05-01T10:22:18Z

Lacks visual feedback for attacks + i'd like to control my character's direction with mouse, not with wasd. Other than that really fun game, polish it a bit, add some juice like vfx and graphical assets and i would buy it on steam. Congrats.

LD48: Down the Rabbit Hole by LMB 2021-05-04T07:35:08Z

@lmb good luck and keep us updated :)

Guardians of the Facility by cireneikual222464 2021-05-09T11:30:43Z

It starts to get fun at level 5, also a bit annoying that i've played less than i've stared at 'reanimating corpses' loading screens in between. Rad idea, corpses are quite terrifying and cool. Wish you animated main character's hands too and added something like reload timer so it is clear when we can shoot. Very original game.

Deep Space Fractaling by dmtroy 2021-05-01T07:44:39Z

For 72 hours it is quite an advanced game. Congrats on that! Didn't have any of issues other participants pointed out 😅

Swab the Deck! by dans17 2021-05-01T10:10:33Z

I think this is the best ld48 game i've played so far. Fun. Fast paced. Lots of content (for 72h). You have my 5 stars. Would legit buy a polished version on steam.

Shovel by Inno 2021-05-11T13:31:26Z

Cool idea and engaging control scheme.

Congratulations, Debt! by Thinh 2021-05-01T06:48:56Z

hahah this game is good. had a good laugh. it hurts tho. (mouse sensitivity is bloody insane)

Deeper and Deeper Mining Operations ltd. by saviorium 2021-04-30T18:38:39Z

Remember old flash game motherload? Yeah this is that. And this is perfect. Like the idea, controls are great for the genre. though you start a bit too slow, takes too long to get to the first upgrades.

Deeper by EOShadows 2021-05-01T10:03:05Z

I think the slow movement animation adds nothing to the game, just prolongs it for no reason. It is better to either speed it up like 2-3 times or remove it completely. WASD controls would have been better. Liked the gameplay and visuals. Good job.

Hollow Light: Deep into the Darkness by Borch 2021-05-09T10:29:06Z

Too short and simple of a game, but i liked the graphics a lot. It took me less than a minute to beat lol.

Bones & Guns Elevator runs by Maybeagoose 2021-04-30T19:11:55Z

You guys didn't do much yourself as i can see, 80-90% of the game are assets. Not that you break any rules of course... What i'm saying isn't even about graphics or sounds, but more of how much of the game is your work and how much is other people's. It is simple logic: if you use assets that probably means that you will have more time for gameplay polish, but your game is so empty of gameplay mechanics and fresh ideas that it hurts. All you did is put assets together, that's it. Put more effort into making the game your own next time, for your own sake, don't be afraid to be creative. Sure you will trip and make mistakes,but i guarantee, you will learn much much more from this, cause making asset flips gives you 0 expierience. Game jams are all about creativity and learning, balancing newness and your own abilities. Even if you not sure in your skills and this is your first game, there is no harm in trying, no one is gonna roast or ridicule you here. Good luck next time, hope you gonna listen to what people are commenting, they wish you no harm.

Bones & Guns Elevator runs by Maybeagoose 2021-04-30T19:16:03Z

RU version for the fellow devs: Как я вижу, вы сделали очень мало этой "игры", 80-90% игры - это ассеты. Не то чтобы вы нарушили какие-то правила, конечно... Я говорю даже не о графике или звуках, а скорее о том, сколько в игре сделано вами, а сколько - другими людьми. Это простая логика: если вы используете ассеты, это, вероятно, означает, что у вас будет больше времени на полировку геймплея, но ваша игра настолько лишена геймплейных механик и свежих идей, что в нее больно играть. Все, что вы сделали, это собрали ассеты вместе, и все. В следующий раз приложите больше усилий, чтобы сделать игру "своей", ради себя же, не бойтесь быть креативным. Конечно, вы будете спотыкаться и делать ошибки, но я гарантирую, что вы научитесь гораздо большему, потому что делая ассет флипы вы не получите никакого опыта. Игровые джемы - это про творчество и обучение, баланс между крутыми новыми механиками и собственными способностями. Даже если вы не уверены в своих силах и это ваша первая игра, нет ничего плохого в том, чтобы попробовать, никто не будет вас здесь ругать или высмеивать. Удачи в следующий раз, надеюсь, вы прислушаетесь к тому, что люди комментируют, они не желают вам зла. Привет из России.

Bones & Guns Elevator runs by Maybeagoose 2021-04-30T19:41:57Z

@maybeagoose окей, лол. Хорошо что вы повеселились конечно. Я написала коммент думая что вы хотите в геймдев)

Vain Vullet by SwiatowskiSoundDesign 2021-05-03T18:53:32Z

Hey, these are some neat ideas. And it was quite terrifying to play too! Good job. I don't know what else to say other that what have been said before: controls are far from perfect (but the control scheme is awesome neat little idea). I think for the aiming system like this to work well with mouse and keyboard you'd need to tune it a lot to find a sweet spot with responsive controls while preserving those suspense situations in game.

Vain Vullet by SwiatowskiSoundDesign 2021-05-04T07:37:16Z

@martiniano-marelli i think you guys did a great job

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-04-30T17:04:14Z

For those who read the comments we have already reduced the zip file to 500 mb ^^

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-04-30T18:15:23Z

@unagiv very sweet of you, thank you :)

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-05-01T06:19:29Z

@tiseno @baconinvader @andrewaprice sorry for the inconvenience, i have fixed the game, if you feel like giving it a try again i would greatly appreciate that.

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-05-01T06:20:45Z

i wonder how many people left negative ratings because our "fixed" game didn't work (┬┬﹏┬┬)...

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-05-01T06:23:12Z

@soarendev thank you a lot! hope we gonna provide our players with... shall i say, smoother experience on gmtk (ノへ ̄、)

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-05-03T09:06:06Z

@thinh @vphyre @timo-gass @plepletier thank you for the feedback. yeah, this is a common issue with our games – lack of playtesting.we are aware of crushing difficulty and we are going to address it in the final version and in our next games as well. thanks for playing our game!(^人^)

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-05-04T07:40:11Z

@jakob-hellermann thank you, although we didn't make the graphical assets we still put a lot of effort into tuning animations, tweaking materials, picking just the right props and ofc building beautiful content rich levels (✿◡‿◡)

Get On My Level by LoreTV 2021-05-03T19:05:32Z

One of the most fun and original games i've played on this jam. Well done!

Mine - 0.3K by fy0 2021-05-05T17:08:40Z

Rough around the edges, 0 visual feedback, but i respect the fact that you made all the sounds, music, graphics in 72 hours. Impressive, though quite raw and in current stat, pointless for the player and boring. The ux was quite frustrating, for example, had to click on the 'mine' button that is located close to the right bottom corner and then click button on the pop-up with results that is almost on the opposite side of the screen. A lot of things that i don't like are most likely the way they are because of lack of experience or simply not enough time, so i'm not going to continue into other minuscule details.

Deep Drive by Ahmed Hamdi 2021-05-09T09:28:54Z

Very raw, quite broken and clearly unfinished. You don't really have to wait for timer to go off. Collisions don't exist on many models in the game. The camera has low FOV and is too close to the car. Nitro does not speed you up much. Yeah, this game needs more polishing. Good luck with it x)

The Miner - LD48 by AncientObelisk 2021-05-01T06:27:31Z

Congrats on your first game! Did you make the animations+3d models? If yes, they are simply great!

Chloe's Inner Demons by gabryelamartins 2021-05-09T10:07:01Z

Incredible game. Well made narrative, fitting soundfx. From nitpicky cons, there are some typos, i'd like to be able to control the game with mouse (dialog window). I didn't quite understand the deep breath mechanic also.

Sword Whisperer by Malmorsus 2021-04-30T18:11:51Z

Very pleasing looking game + quite fun. But most importantly it is innovative. Good job.

LD49 — Unstable

Handle With Care by Liss1024 2021-10-15T17:51:32Z

Sorry i've been kind of busy to respond to you guys ::>_<:: Gonna fix this right up!

@mistagiggles thank you! @falcondance thank you, we found them cute too, they are too cute not to like ^^ @sunderbird thank you back for playing out game! @federico-giorgi yep, we are aware. Controls like this one usually require a lot of fine tuning to get right. @wyl-team thanks, we are planning to release the patch once jam is over @devundead what a kind words! thx! @bastienre4 thank you @aarc-noa glad you liked it! @d3w it was too hardcore for some of us as well, lol @san4es9524 thanks :) @zef1r yeah, we've spent a lot of time tinkering with physics of the platform, nice to see people liked it :) @juanrod707 thanks! @curleysam haha i see what you did here... package, yeah? x) @artemy-zen ours did as well, great advice btw @steve7411 thanks! @tory yeah, it is not for everyone but thanks for playing @frozendoze thanks! @dead-coyote thank you! @mordrick thank you for the high score! @substain thanks for the feedback @stefans yeah, we made all assets by ourselves and we're deathly proud of it ^^ @erikengineengineer hey 77 isn't even that much @paulsams we r sussy bakas @jackaljk sorry that your experience was this tough. i tried my best to simplify the level as much as i could. we'll keep your feedback in mind next time, thank you for taking your time and writing this extensive useful comment. @lukewaffel trust me we agree with you, ui is kind of a mess @coleslaughter aw bummer, sorry, we play tested several dozen times and it felt hard, but not too hard. We'd recommend you to use the controller for this game also. @vimlark thanks, qwop was a biiig inspo for us. we probably went too hard on the difficulty though. @amikatag does it? i mean it is fairly graphically simple game. did you download the chaos version? @3mpty aww thanks @t1h4n спасибо :) @jitspoe thanks for playing our game, i think UE by default caps the game at 120 fps. Did you download the chaos version? it is pretty heavy on gpu. we didn't have ay performance issues on the regular version. @scrawach thank you kindly @leokrechmer understandable, but to be fair player rewards kind of take a lot of time to make. thank you for playing! @zimny11 glad to hear it was in a good way :)

Handle With Care by Liss1024 2021-10-20T16:04:13Z

@satolas thank you @ideaspersecond glad to see you enjoyed the game's difficulty @proxy-games thanks for the feedback, also i think you can press R to restart the level
