LD57 — Depths

Down by Skyeward 2025-04-13T17:30:54Z

I loved the little door designs, and that the movement is all dynamic, for the letters as well as the images. The little backpack with the items in them was a very cute idea, and the designs are really cute again. The audio effects were really nice as well, tho perhaps some music would have been nice? The tailored text destinations were fun and sometimes quite funny too, so that was lovely, tho at times it could feel like you weren't really going anywhere, except down of course. I liked the ending, I chuckled at that :P Very nicely done!

Hhehe this game had me chuckling :P I didnt really understand what I was supposed to be doing, but it was really funny. Well done!

Dirty Little Secrets by winniehell 2025-04-13T17:37:37Z

I really like that you put so much effort in the art and artstyle. It looks pretty crisp, especially the gaming part itself. It didn't feel like as a played you'd have to put in much effort to gain any items, so it gave a sense of calm relaxation, but also kinda felt like to easily a loop? Maybe if there more things to collect in a shorter amount of time, it would make it a little more challenging. But overall, I really liked it!

This song is amazing! Can I like download it somewhere? I want make this my ringtone haha :D Great quality game, and I love the art style a lot. That little dude in the yellow suit is an immediate hit. I found the controls a little confusing, wasn't sure what to do and how, but I was enjoying the ride anyway, bobbing my head to this bop of a song seriously.

whoooo that scared the sh*t out of me for bit. Very eery and strange, I like that. A nice relief from the more generic games out there. Very nice, smaller game for the ludum dare, tho indeed as a stand-alone it might lack a little depth :P I really love it in this context tho, it's a very nice and appropriate vibe.

Root & Rope by Alexascher 2025-04-08T19:09:49Z

Gorgeous art, and I love the sound effects. We also really wanted to do the "effort" noises for our game, but really couldn't crack it, and you did! Very nice. Also love the font, and the way it is animated, that really gives it its own feel. I do think it may be a little hard to read at times, but it's not rocket science, you can get around relatively easy but it does become harder as you progress, in a very natural way. Very cool rope trick too, and the animation for that also is pretty neat :D Very lovely game, well done!

Well Gnome! by Delunado 2025-04-08T18:22:21Z

Whoooo this game is addictive XP The little squieeky noise got a liiiiiitle annoying after a bit, but it was hilarious nonetheless.

Submergency by gobos12 2025-04-20T16:04:11Z

The audio is amazing! I love the little "bum-pam-bum-badapam" soundtrack hehe. Also love the animation and the art style, that is so cute. The submarine crushing in on itself spooked me a bit, but in the best way possible. Not sure exactly what the best way to play the game is, but really entertaining anyway, and I found myself playing it over and over for a bit, just trying to figure out how to get better at it. Really well done, you should be proud of your achievement!

Flatline by Empyreans 2025-04-08T17:11:27Z

Amazing vibe, though I never cleared level 1 XP Kuddos for the amazing work tho!

Frost-bound by Livesey 2025-04-20T16:09:34Z

I don´t speak russian, but I could still get through the game. Very impressive, loved the style, the music, the gameplay itself... I just wish I could read what it said! It seems like there is quite a story there. It was kind of strange that the main character is strolling along, hands in pockets, while there seems to be something entirely gruesome going on, but it was a very cool, atmospheric game nonetheless. I´d love to play the english version of this in the future!

Deep concussion by xoudz 2025-04-08T17:41:04Z

I'm too scared to play this game, but it looks really cool!

A Well to Wonderland by Mathieu Chougui 2025-04-08T19:15:08Z

Wowowwoow I love this! This art style is sooo cool?! I got stuck in the tutorial for some reason, but it looks really, really good. The fonts and text boxes are a little rudamentary, but that is easily forgiven :P Nice work!

Cursor Descend by FoxEcho 2025-04-08T19:20:50Z

Wwooow that was pretty tricky. I'm not sure if I just need to practice a lot or if I didn't really like the controls, but it is a very cool idea. Definitely one of those games you can get obsessed with. Good soundtrack too! Very unique and quirky concept

Adam, Rejected by MashedPotato 2025-04-08T17:26:13Z

@cameronpenner I love that you noticed that AND somehow knew we were planning to put an arm there XP We were very pressed for time, so indeed there may be some unfortunate glitches like this :( We'll keep working on it though, also beyond Ludum Dare!

Only thing I can think of is refresh the page, and sit through the first monologue again, so you can try again :P

SATIATE by Spookyman999 2025-04-20T16:14:26Z

As others hve said, it truly is quite polished! how did you get this done so quickly?! Loved the art and the music, sort of like 80s meets futuristic meets hell estatic, something I haven't seen yet ever I think. The hell beast looked way too cute, I didn't want to eat them, that's probably the only critique I have XP Well done, very impressive.
