Really enjoyable game. Very interesting gameplay and resource management!
Nice game! Flight feels very good, but it's a little bit hard to aim and shoot while moving. It was fun to play and I really enjoyed.
It was difficult for me to play, but it was fun. Very relaxing sounds
Looks more like HoMM:V. Fun game, but it's hard to understand which monster's turn is right now. Anyway I enjoyed playing. Good job.
Interesting concept. It was difficult to get used to it, but still fun.
Impressive concept, but I stuck somewhere and didn't managed to get to the exit. Anyway, nice game. Visuals and sounds are amazing
Amazing game! I love how you can see all this way you've done at the end by trail of your mouse.
The game is extremely fun. I love graphics and sounds. It's very weird, uncomfortable and distractive to hit 'Q' and 'P' buttons, but still I really enjoyed playing. Hard to stop playing this!
Nice game with awesome graphics. That flying pickaxe is incredible! Was fun to play
Sound effects are not so good, but music is awesome (and visuals also). Controls feels for me a little bit clumsy, but it was fun to play. Impressive work!
It's so fascinating to play! Agreed with @etom - very hard to stop playing. Interesting and fun gameplay
Awesome tower defence-like game. It was not clear for me from the start how to mine and what to do, but still great game, was fun to play
Simple yet fun game. But it gets a little bit boring to go all this way up every time. Also it's hard to see those black obstacles on dark background. Visuals are awesome.
Really interesting concept, but it took quite a while for me to get used to how I can place blocks. Visuals and sounds are great and it was fun to play.
Awesome game. Amazing graphics and also I love the angle of view in this game. But it appears to be quite hard to pass through 1-block-width holes without losing hp. Anyway, I enjoyed playing this game
It's very calm and relaxing game. I love visuals, sounds. The controls work very well, but I wonder, why jump is on 'Z' key?
Also, that restarting on death takes quite a long time (in my opinion) and it's a little bit annoying. Also enemies can hide behind the walls, when they go through them. It seems for me, that it would be better if they would always be on foreground
Anyway, amazing game, I really enjoyed.
Game about how to become a gatling gun to kill spiders. Fun, but it lacks some kind of player's movement speed upgrade. And also sometimes you can stuck while walking near some walls
Nice and simple game, but it seems to be very random. You can't predict where would be gems or something else, hence there is no strategy to play this game (except digging dirt, of course).
Very nice game! It's so intense and sometimes even scary, when you hear the skeletons are awakening, but you can't see them. I love this game, awesome graphics and visuals. Difficulty is challenging but still fun to play. I guess it's my favourite game from those, that I already seen at this jam
Nice music and atmosphere, but I also stuck on the floating body. There is a way to move outside the level and go to outer space. Some weird controls when colliding with walls.
Such a nice game! Interesting and unique concept, and I really enjoy to play this. Also, visuals and sounds are amazing.
Great concept! RTS games are quite rare on game jams. I must admit that it's not easy to get comfortable with the game. Controls are not intuitive, and I spend a lot of time to understand how everything works, but I know that it's hard to make strategy with great controls on a game jam (I also tried to make strategy game on this compo ld).
Your game has huge potential. I really enjoyed playing and I would like to see the final game.
Cool and meditating game. But it's a little bit boring that you need to make all this way back to the surface to sell your ores. Something to speed up this process would be nice
It was fun to go through depth of my Downloads folder xD. It took a time to get used to the way it shoots and I think it would feel better, if shooting range (and detection range of enemies) would be bigger. Also there is a bug, that if you collide with enemy, it sticks to you.
Nice game, was fun to play good old tower defence. But tower placement is kinda buggy and also it lacks of progressing (new towers or something)
Fun to play game, nice graphics but I'm confused with controls (I had to select with keyboard and confirm with mouse)
Nice game, but it's hard to get used to aim with keys. But it's still fun. Also, great sounds and visuals. Can't wait to play the final version of game.
P.S. Sometimes you can pass the walls, when being out of screen without insta-dying. It seems as a bug for me, but I'm not sure
Very fun game. Sound effects are amazing.
Very cool game. I played jam version and I can't stop. Music is dope, and game overall is very attractive. The only annoying thing for me was that flying enemies can stunlock you if you got hit
@lehaine, well, it seems to be weird. I would be glad, if you will help me to investigate this: I need OS and specs of your computer. It would be nice, if you will write it to me in discord: SmelJey#9014 or through email: mixalevuriy@gmail.com
Nevertheless, I've added WebGL version on itch.io page, so you can check it out. For some reasons, it works only in fullscreen mode.
@cavedens was this on WebGL build? Have you tried to go to the fullscreen mode?
@skelleroznik I'm really sorry, I forgot to add buildings' names to buttons. Thank you for the feedback!
@astronautmikedexter Sad to hear. Is there some errors in developer's console (f12 in chrome) and did you try windows downloadable?
@brendev have you tried to open in fullscreen? There is some weird bug with non-clickable button in main menu in non-fullscreen mode

Hey guys! I enjoyed participating in this game jam and really appreciate your feedback. Now I've made a post-jam update!
+ Controls update. Move your camera with arrows, speed up with Shift key and jump to your selected unit with Space. + UI update! + Multiple unit selection! You can try it with holding your shift key or with new unit box selection (just hold your LMB and draw a rectangle around them) + Advanced unit control - Attack, Move, Hold position and Stop orders are available via UI buttons. Also, with hotkeys ('A', 'M', 'H' and 'S' respectively) + Medical building, which heals your dwarves around it. + Population limit mechanic instead of increasing cost of dwarves. Build additional power plants to increase your unit limit. Now it should be easier to play. + And many more minor improvements...
There are still some pathfinding issues, no tutorial, and more things to fix. Also, I have huge plans how to improve this game, so stay tuned and check my itch.io page from time to time, if you are interested!
Try new version of game (Compo version (Windows) is still available to play) on itch.io: https://smeljey.itch.io/deepestmine
My LD48 submission: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/deepest-mine
P.S. 'Play' button on WebGL build is still not working in non-fullscreen mode. mining.gif
I love the visuals, but it's getting really dark when you are almost out of light. Music is also nice and relaxing. Good job!
Nice game. Music and visuals are great. 3rd person camera is quite shaky and it's not so comfortable to play (I'd prefer 1st person). It seems like skeletons are not eager to hit me (I saw them doing this only few times and one time he just missed). Also, you can spam attack and it will waste whole your stamina bar (and I'm quite not sure if hero actually attacks during this spam). It doesn't seem to work as intended
Anyway, good job! The game is cool, and I enjoyed playing.
Good game. As for me, it seems that controls are a little bit raw (especially wall climbing) and dead ends are quite frustrating. Sounds and music are great
Interesting movement system, fun to fly in space. But it's a little bit strange, that you can go through planets. In my opinion, this game needs some additional challenges, like avoid collisions with planets / asteroids
Nice visuals and sounds, but I was not able to get the right answers. Anyway amazing game with awesome mood
It is unusual to see RTS game on the game jam and I know on my own experience that it is hard to polish in given time, yet you did a great job! The main points which to improve are - Zoom (it looks a bit messy when camera is close) - Labels above enemies and their bodies are unreadable when there are several of them in the same place. - Units selection is not always visible on far zoom
Concept is great! Puzzles are interesting, but a bit tough xD I also like sound effects, music and arts.
Simple, yet fun game! I love the visuals and sound effects. It would be nice to have some progression during the game, but it's still good for a game jam entry!
Exciting gameplay and cool visuals. Transforming units is a nice mechanic. I really enjoyed playing your game!
This is a very unique choice of a crop xD Game is great! I like sounds and visuals, gameplay is a bit challenging, yet exciting!
I love the artstyle and sfx. The idea of the game is great! Core gameplay is fun for this amount of time but might feel kinda repetitive in long term. But overall it is a great jam entry
Looks very promising, I figured out how to build robots, but have no idea how to restore energy. Looking forward to the tutorial :) P.S. Arts are great!
@katamary omg, I accidently missed it. Guide is neat! Gonna give it a try once more.
I love the visuals and the artstyle. Gameplay is interesting, yet a bit challenging for me. Good job!
Nice entry! Reminds me a bit of Islanders game. I enjoyed playing this game, good job!
It was fun to play! Bakery is OP! However, I didn't manage to buy any animal to my barn - all of them in the market were always expired for some reasons (with values like -1 or -3 years)
It's brilliant and satisfying game. I love music and visuals, gameplay is a bit of a challenge (I did only 10 lobsters), but fun nevertheless. Great job!
Great game! The visuals and the music are astonishing. Also I like tips. At first I was a bit clueless what to do and made many mistakes (spent too much gobas, then killed half of the people), but tips feel natural and teach game mechanics well. Overall, game looks polished and I enjoyed playing it!
Very relaxing and sweet game. Concept is very unique and music is also cool
Nice and exciting game! I love the gameplay! The sounds are a bit cheap and it would be nice to have a music, but overall great job!
Very nice entry! Idea is great and there are amazing music and arts. The game itself looks very polished and I enjoyed playing it
Nice concept! I like the idea, but the gameplay is a bit dull and needs some adjustments, maybe more mechanics, but overall is fine. And you can win very easily, if you will distract enemies, while your knights will break the gate. But I enjoyed the game!
Great idea! It is rare to see some multiplayer games over here. As people said before, it is hard to track which parts you need, but overall it's a funny game.
Omg, this is amazing. Arts and sounds are fantastic, I also like the gameplay. It's a bit simple, yet good for the game jam format. Great job!
@deprecat yeah, it is a cool idea!
@noeloskar @sam-cousins It was intended that the day time is a preparation phase, when you can scout the level, find keys from some gates or doors, etc. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to implement all of this :/
@thierry @vrerabek just fixed it in recent build
Thank you all for the feedback!
Nice farming simulator! However, I don't see the point to hide all the tools on the level and it looks confusing at the start
Interesting concept! I like the idea that the more you risk the more is reward. Music is dope. However it was a bit hard for me to cut the right flower with the scissors
The idea is good, however it would be nice to have some bonuses from growing flowers. Movement feels a bit too heavy. Also it feels a bit unfair that you can shoot only horizontally, while enemies can shoot in any direction.. Overall, great job!
Nice game, but platforming is a bit hard for me (movement is too fast I guess). Also at some point of time, I fell under ground
Screenshot 2023-01-14 074839.png
I like visuals and the gameplay. I would be nice to make gates in the fence more noticeable, because in my first time I didn't figured that I can go through them
Very nice compo entry! Gameplay is very exciting and the game looks brilliant. Yet, there are some things I'd like to be improved: - As people said before, if the map is generated with no resources nearby, you don't really know what to do, if you are playing for the first time (happened to me) - For some reasons I couldn't place buildings in lower hexes, but there were both crystals and gold.
Looks very nice! I love the models, sounds and cutscenes! One of my favorite entries in this game jam so far.
Fun farming simulator! Placing boxes on the belt is not very intuitive, but I figured this out on the second try. Great job, I enjoyed playing your game!
This game has crazy amount of content for a game jam entry. I really enjoyed playing it! Theme is a bit off, but gameplay and arts are brilliant. Great job!
Small but fantastic game! I love the idea and visuals. Very fun! I wish there would be some kind of progression, but it's a great job!
Nice game! It's quite hard for me to track both machines and look for boars at the same time, but still fun
Concept is interesting! The game is quite challenging and it is a bit boring to wait for a ball to charge. It is a bit off the theme in my opinion, but overall it's great
Nice combat mechanic and arts, but overall gameplay is kinda boring. It would be nice to have some kind of progression, otherwise it is too repetitive. Nevertheless, good job!
Game is fun and visuals are nice, yet it is a bit unbalanced. It's quite hard to lose (at least during the first ten minutes)
Simple, yet amazing game! It feels sooo good to drive the tank and shoot at the same time! Great stuff!
Quite a simple game. While I was playing, I was thinking that there are too many slow down signs, and it also would be nice to do something with the difficulty (it is too easy right now). Great job, anyways!
This is a really unique concept! These quantum puzzles are simple but great. It took me a while to accidently find out that I need to use backspace instead of the delete key to rewind, but other than that - it is a nice game!
This game looks very nice and quite polished for a jam entry! The look and feel are incredible. I spend a lot of time to figure out all the mechanics, but after all it was a fun game! I really enjoyed playing it!
Fun game! I love the mood and the art of the game! I wonder, why do I need to get off the broom? Why not spawn with the broom from the start?
Fun game! I wish another scientists were able to research while there is some malfunctions. And also oxygen runs out the way too fast. Great job!
Fun and simple game! I wish I could slow down or speed up the car when needed, but overall, great job!
Wow, this is so much fun! Reminds me a bit of Vangers game. I wish there would be some health indicator, but in the current state the game looks really solid. I hope you'll do some post-jam updates, because I want more xD.
P.S. It is weird that you can shoot your own delivery package.
Visuals are amazing! I wish there would be less transitions between the days, but otherwise than that it is very solid and fun to play!
Woah, the art is amazing! I wish there would be soundtrack and an indicator to a place where to pick up orders, because it is quite easy to get lost after completing the first order. Great job!
Cool little game, simple and fun! It feels very satisfying and relaxing to play. It was a bit confusing initially, but I quickly realized what's going on. Nice one!
Fun little game! Reminds me one of the "Yeti sports" games. Nice job!
The concept is great and I love it! However, it was quite hard to get started and it really needs some kind of tutorial. But in the end it feels like building your own space ship, even the weird one. Great job!
The game is fun and relaxing! It is very addictive and I can't stop playing it! Great job!
Wow! The game is so much fun! I love how the vehicles are controlled, however I got stuck in the trees and fences several times. Also, when I tried to reset the truck, I lost all of my crops. But the game looks very solid and I really enjoyed playing it.
Such a fun game! The rotation sfx sounds a bit strange to me, and also it would be nice to have some music, but otherwise than that - this is an amazing game
Art is very cure. Character and planets are so nice! Great story game!
Thank you guys (@rradu @rhewid @sledzik @gerolmed @ashashza @manogugas @jimmybobb @theparticularpixel @polinachrr) for your feedback!
It was kinda hard to balance the economy system, and I guess, I'll rebalance it after some time. I also feel, that random events should change prices more drastically.
I understand your annoyance with the UI, there is too much information on the screen and it's not readable enough. Going to add some icons to the UI, change it a bit, and add more visual indicators of the player state (when the fuel is running out, how far you can go with the current amount of fuel, etc.) and how profitable the deals are in the cities.
Going to check your games soon! (if I didn't before)
Hey, thank you all for your feedback!
@zimny11 Actually, you can open price panel for different cities by left clicking on them and pressing the "City" button
@lisek-gagatek Yeah, I always forget about choosing good hotkeys for browser, I'm really sorry about that :D
@retrific Some cities have higher/lower prices for certain resources from the start, and when shortage/surplus event happens it doesn't change the price much. I'll rebalance it later, to make events change the price more drastically.
Nice entry! Art looks great and environment reminds me of some location from Hyper Light Drifter for some reasons. You did a great job, but it would be nice to add some music and better sounds. Also, I would prefer to strike in the direction of the mouse, rather than in the direction of movement.
The game looks and sounds really funny, I love it! Very unique concept. Great job!
Great game! Jumps feel a bit too floaty and enemy encounters feel a bit weird. But you did a nice job!
Woah, this is an amazing game! There is so much stuff going on, that is quite huge for a game jam entry! I love the mechanics, yet it is really challenging! I spend my first 10 tries to dodge the first rock. Great job!
Movement feels a bit junky. It seems that if you want to fly in the opposite direction it is easier to stop first and then go in the other direction, rather then pressing buttons for the opposite direction right away (for some reasons you will continue to go in the initial direction). But other than that, nice and simple game. Good job!
Fun and simple! I wish I could stop at the sides of the street without spamming space button, but still this is really solid and great entry!
Art looks amazing. I wish there would be some medieval music in the background, but other than that, it's really great!
Nice entry! I love the concept, especially how tower defense mechanics are built into the concept. It took some time to understand why I can't deliver packages to certain places, and once I fell under the rig and couldn't move out of it. But the game is really solid and I like it!
Nice and simple game! It took me only a little while to get into the flow. The art style is also cute. I think bombs make it a bit trivial in the end (or maybe it was me being lucky). It felt like bombs spawn too often.
The only downside is once you start losing, it's hard to make a comeback because in some cases it's hard to see the character behind all these blocks :D I wish there was some silhouette highlighting through the blocks.
Anyway, great game!
Reminds me of one old soviet movie...
Had to read the description to get what to do :) This is a really unique take on the theme! The art and animations are also stunning!
The concept is nice and unique, but I wish I could speed up the worm a little :)
Nice game! The art looks amazing! The gameplay though needs a bit of balancing. I had fun on my first try (I think boss attacks too often when on low hp, but it's ok), but as people said you could just tank him :)
My result :D

@ssiannas I'm glad that you liked it!
I agree that relation to the theme is quite vague. My interpretation is that the game is taking place in the underworld, so when you expand the settlement and dig walls, you explore the "depths" in a way. Also, once you finish the floor, you proceed to the deeper level of the cave (there are 3 of them with different layouts)
Thanks for the feedback!
@apg Thanks!
About the food, it's not clearly indicated in UI unfortunately. There is a resource with helm icon that represents population of your settlement. This is basically how much food would be consumed each time you place a new tile
@wuppos Thanks a lot for playing!
The turn ends every time you **place** a tile. You can destroy tiles as many times as you want per turn, but it always ends when you place a tile.
I didn't thought during the jam about how confusing it could be :) I should've indicated it somehow more properly, but that's what we have right now :D
The gameplay is simple, but it was interesting to play! Looks very polished. Congrats with this compo entry!
Funny concept! I wonder why pizza box is more sturdy than the car itself?..
When it comes to gameplay, I wish the game would end when the pizza got ruined, without letting me ride to the end. Also, it would be nice to have a bit more variety in... lava balls?, like different sizes, idk. Or maybe some other obstacles. Right now it's a bit repetitive.
Overall, this is a nice game! And an intro cutscene adds a nice touch!
wow, this is the funniest game I've checked on this jam! Great work! Music is so groovy that at some point I started to feel like I'm playing a rhythm game
Double jump effect got me by suprise :D I love how it has camera shake and thrust vfx. Exploding crabs with it feels very satisfying.
The character looks amazing! I love the animations, they look so smooth!
The game itself is a bit too hard. I wish the camera wouldn't be always centered on the character and instead could be moved with mouse, so you can see what's below. Right now if I jump down and don't know what's there, I can't really jump on reaction when there is a crab (skill issue haha). Also, it would be nice to recharge double jump after hitting a crab (so you can chain jump on crabs :D)
Overall, congrats with your entry! It's really good considering that you've done it solo!
The cutscene at the beginning was very funny :D Overall, this is an amazing game! The music is cool, sfx are hilarious and the art is just right. The difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly imo, I couldn't reach 200 depth (skill issue haha). Great work!
Wow, this was a unique experience! I surely was not expecting to find a game like this :)
It looks mysterious and beautiful!
Great game! The concept is rather common on this jam but the ability to control character's speed adds an interesting detail!
Damn, I love how the camera implemented! How it follows the submarine and how the image is a bit distorted due to being in the water. This is such a nice detail!
I wish I had a hotkey for harpoon pull / push T_T
I don't feel my finger...
The game is dope btw
