LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Down Through Sins by Toki Anholmes 2014-04-28T18:59:00

Really good game. Audio, Graphics, fun, mood, innovation, all this was very good. Good job!

Flip Tactics by Kalabasa 2014-04-30T14:47:00

Cool idea

SpoonWalker by squale 2014-04-30T16:14:00

Pretty cool game. Good idea, nice visuals and audios and good atmosphere. Well made. Good job

The Day After by caryoscelus 2014-04-30T13:57:00

I don't really like visual novels, but the graphics are quite good. I also liked the music

PET RUN/STOP by Ludonaut 2014-04-28T18:07:00

Really fun to play and addictive. Too bad it hasn't anything to do with the theme.
The audio and graphics are really good though

How did Mario died ? by leo_gri 2014-04-30T16:05:00

Cool idea, but too short. It's well made, but the lack of sound and the lack of suspense is making me underestimating your game. Do better next time :D

Youdunnit by NightShadow0 2014-04-28T18:18:00

Good overall and pretty well made game. The theme is respected, the music is cool, graphics are good. The only problem is that it's too "short". I mean that you should set a system of achievments to make the story longer (if you got a proof, it's listed in a kind of book) then, if you have all the proofs and hypotesis necessary to inculp somebody, then you can go see the officer to tell him.

Deus ex Submarine by Jod 2014-04-28T18:28:00

Graphics are pretty cool, and the theme is respected but there is no sound... In my opinion it wasn't fun to play, but the multiple possibl ends were a good idea.

Dwarves Manager, NES Game by Khopa 2014-04-28T18:49:00

Nice idea to make a NES game, but it's really difficult to play if you DON'T have a nes simulator. Hopefully, this site exists: http://nesbox.com/own Put it in your description.
The game is not really explained In Game (I didn't read your description first) We don't really understand what is happening and the all game makes no sense... Firebals in a cave beneath the surface that goes through the wall?.
Not the worst game I played, but could be a lot better.

Parallel by Cosine 2014-04-28T19:13:00

Does not work for me :/. Same error as hexagore and mtrc...

Upside Down by Markus Brand 2014-04-29T19:11:00

Nice music and good graphics, but too hard, so it becomes a bit annoying after 10 mn.
Well done, good game.

Hole by sapermysz 2014-04-29T19:48:00

Not really good. Instead of going 3D, you dhould have made some 2D game, that would be better.

Chacket Valleyparker: DRILL BUNNY by stvr 2014-04-29T20:09:00

Good game and really good graphics

The Ice Pond by Vytheros 2014-04-30T16:07:00

I didn't like it. Text based games are not my favourite. It also does neither have graphics nor audio, so...

FALL! by DanDias 2014-04-29T20:01:00

Didn't really like. Not really original

FALL! by DanDias 2014-04-29T20:04:00

Didn't really like. Not really original, but good graphics.

Deep Below by lopiky1 2014-04-30T12:04:00

Too short, and not enough work (for RPG Maker) exept installing some Yanfly scripts, you didn't really customize your datas. Also, work harder on mapping. Do better next time.
(I made a RPG Maker game and so did BlazingFanfish, go see them so you can understand what I'm saying)

Herbert Crawler by Ronin748 2014-04-29T18:36:00

Good visuals and sound effects, but with some musics and tutorials, it would be better

Breaking The Waves by BlazingFanfish 2014-04-30T12:56:00

Really awesome game. Surely the best I've tested here. You made an awesome job!

Escaping Scofield Mine by runvs 2014-04-29T19:49:00

Really good game :D.
Graphics and audio are cool. I like the atmosphere it makes

Minecart Tycoon by NikinCZ 2014-04-30T14:00:00

Concept is good, but the game is not that fun. It becomes boring after some game minutes.

The Devil's Magnificent Return by davidc02 2014-04-28T22:53:00

Really cool. Well done for the developer ^^

Adventure of the anglerfish by BuddaKaeks 2014-04-28T18:37:00

Theme respected and good innovation, but the music was missing and hearing the same agressive noise when eating yellow fishes is really dibsturbing and irritating.
Good game though.

Moles Warriors by kukilin 2014-04-28T22:38:00

Pretty cool. Good job.

Reflection by lucienpro 2014-04-27T20:14:00

Awesome, the (little) story, the gameplay, the graphics, the music *_*. Really well made. No matter if your only 12, your game is cool. I enjoyed. The bugs are only minor, they do not matter for the gameplay of the game.

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T18:39:00

thanks for your comment. If you got any critic to tell, just do. It's always a good way for me to improve my knowledge :D

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T19:02:00

Did you try the two links? If yes, then reload the page. If it happens to other people, I'll probably upload it on media fire for a third and fourth link.

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T19:47:00

Sorry. My bad. I didn't pay attention to this. Because I also built it on my friend's Mac, I thought it would work, but it seems that I didn't pay attention to the extension (now I realize that it's maybe not a .exe)
Sorry

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T21:22:00

Look to the credits at the end ^^. If I could pass 3hours more on it, I would have tried to make my own graphics, and remix some musics but I didnt have the time to do it. (and it would look like sh*t too XD)

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T21:36:00

Hey, I've made some researches, and it seems that win32 apps (.exe) do work on mac, but only with the MacOsx and not the older version MacOs. I'm gonna specify it. Seems to not work on linux. My bad for this.

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-28T21:51:00

I'll try on mediafire as soon as possible. Sorry about that for the moment :/

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-29T05:20:00

Actually I finished and posted it within the 48 compo hours. I just used existant graphics and musics. For mapping, I also used tricks to go faster :D.
Also mapping and programming is not that hard to, it just takes time. It's as hard to use a script already done (even though a script takes 5mn to be installed). And I worked 12h on it (I've written 17 because from 4AM to 9AM I was thinking of the scenario while sleeping (yes, I'm one of those mad guys that come up with a scenario when waking up)
Also I put all my heart in it, so you can kinda see it.
However, I still think that I could do better (and longer) if I were with my team. I made it in solo. There's nothing to be proud of. Someones spend time on programming, some others on graphics (some in sleeping) and me in mapping and polishing my game.
Thank you all for your comments. Whatever I say, I'm so happy that I would cry in special characters right now

Every time I post a comment, I realize that I've done loads of errors. Sorry for my english. I'm French ^^

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-30T10:26:00

I didn't make the graphics, but I had to search for a lot of them. Consider rating my searching work. The jam rules are explicit: I can use other graphics as long as I have the permission, and I do have the permission.
I added levels because it is useful. I also made it easier to level up on the 30 first levels (more than enough to finish the game). This is why monsters are becoming too strong too quickly. Also, their life have been reduced to make them easy to beat, even if they're strong. Finally, I disposed 2/3 chests giving better stuff and potions, this might be usefull too.
Thank you for playing, and thank you for your comment, I'll try to apply it on my next entry for LD (maybe compo, who knows :D)

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-30T10:30:00

Also, every 5 levels, you learn a skill. This a other feature of levels.
This is a game, you can do whatever you want, since you can do it. If you want to avoid monster and run, you can. But it's been designed the way you have to fight sometimes. So you should fight a lot (especially in the woods)

*The stairs by skymen 2014-04-30T15:57:00

Thanks :D
I realize that anyone will never be able to complete the game because I forgot to add a teleport event after the dongeon XD. In your opinion, do I have the right to fix it? It's not like the biggest glitch ever, and before the bug, you got way enough gameplay to make an idea.

Beneth the surface by Knowledge 2014-04-29T18:30:00

I don't really like. Not original (do you know how many games talking about fishes were entered in there?). Still well made. Good luck next time :D

And the Moment Is Gone by Mike Mezhenin 2014-04-28T22:33:00

Good overall for this game. Not really fun or humoristic but pretty cool

Pandorian Planet by TheRare 2014-04-29T19:50:00

Good game :D

The Hole Thing by TheExGenesis 2014-04-28T19:16:00

Good game. Good sounds and good graphics. Pretty well made and good overall. Good job.

Global Freezing by oostap 2014-04-28T22:26:00

Really good game, graphics are awesome. Gameplay is quite fun and addictive. I think the game has a too short time limit.

Beneath the surface, chasing the killer... by snake5 2014-04-30T15:53:00

I liked the game. Good job :D

Free Fall by Warzone Gaming 2014-04-28T22:46:00

Not the best game to be, but not the worst one too. Good luck next time :D

The hive by Zolkren 2014-04-28T19:11:00

This game is not really good, but it's not "that" bad. The sounds are too loud and the graphics seems to be made on paint (even though flash gives a better drawing system than paint...). Game is too simple and gets a little bit annoying. I think you spent most of the time working on the code and not enough on the resources. If only you had worked on a non programming software, you could have made even better than this. Good luck for your next entries :D

Diver by peejaygee 2014-04-28T22:51:00

Pretty cool, but too bad you didn't developed it a bit more. You can do awesome things with CF2.5, even in 48h.
Still cool though

The Stones Back Home by jrap 2014-04-30T16:16:00

Pretty cool

Super Subsurface Sun Slayer by BauhausGamesSyndicate 2014-04-30T13:07:00

Good game. Really good graphics and musics. I liked the mood too. Too bad there is some minor bugs that could be fixed if you had more time (speed of character, ultra quick death). The story isn't explained (in game) too. We have to play a few time to understand what's happining.
Good overall though.

Deep Sea by erezronen 2014-04-29T18:56:00

Really good game :D. Graphics and audio are really good. The atmosphere the game creates is quite good. Really fun and respects th theme, good job.

Abstraction by cr2crstudios 2014-04-27T19:56:00

Nice idea ;) But I think that almost everybody that will vote for your game have a little bit of knowledge about programming ^^.
Respects the theme in a very original way. Too bad there is no sound :(.
Anyway, I liked it :3

Reaching new surfaces by lixaxil 2014-04-29T18:28:00

I didn't understand the goal. I didn't understand how to play too :(. Too bad there is not an in-game explaination. It could be a good game though

Two Sided by Daskaund 2014-04-30T15:06:00

It's nice to see some craft studio games :D.
Games made with it are generally beatiful (for voxels).
Good job.

Two Sided by Daskaund 2014-04-30T15:07:00

Really good game :D. Really beatiful. The atmosphere is extremely well made. I love it. Like all the other craft studio games submitted since LD23 or LD24, it's awesome

Hell Bender | A Game By Skull Code by SkullCode 2014-04-30T15:18:00

Sorry, but the game is not really good. First thing:
WHY USING VOXELS TO DO EVERYTHING BUT SQUARES??
Seriously, the game is so lagging that i can count the number of FPS... 3FPS...
Next time just use Unity, it has the same building system. Also, modeling all this unsquares, you've wasted like 1/2 of your time. So the game is full of glitches.
Please, do not use CraftStudio next time, or use it smartly.

RAW by ekun 2014-04-30T14:00:00

Cool game

Inspector Badass by Elisée and friends 2014-04-30T15:36:00

Awesome job! Craft studio has sure groxn up since the beginnig. You've made an awesome job, like every time :D

Demon Dungeon by snade 2014-04-29T19:40:00

Good game. I liked it. The graphics and audio are good.
