I really enjoyed this, the pixel art, music and torch lighting effects give it a great dungeon game atmosphere. Congrats on getting this much done within 48hrs. Great work!

I really enjoyed this, the pixel art, music and torch lighting effects give it a great dungeon game atmosphere. Congrats on getting this much done within 48hrs. Great work!
Cool idea for the theme. Nice hypnotic music and cool underwater effect. I also liked the bubble trail. Good work.
Good work, I like the way you swing your weapon to attack or shoot to move. I like the intro sequence too.
Funny and clever game mechanic with the sword, great graphics too and well polished. Would play this again, nice work.
Nice graphic animations and atmosphere. That creepy eel with a lure on his head was my favourite. Nice work was fun to play.
Weirdly cool and funny game, the graphics and voice acting we're great too, nice work.
Nice work on the graphics and fun narrative. My deep tweet didn't make much sense but was funny to see it at the end.
Cool fun game and nice take on the theme. Nice work on the graphics for the background and fish, I got to the lure fish boss but didn't manage to beat him, but enjoyed it all the same.
Congrats on making this in 72hrs, looks like a lot of efforts gone into it. Cool choice for the theme, running deeper and deeper in Hell's offices to get a form signed by the Devil, fun idea. I liked the PS1 style 3D graphics and the textures. Nice work with the box art and the poster on the itch page too.
This is great, reminds me of an Amiga game favourite of mine called Bobs Bad Day. Also I like the relaxing music, fits the mood of the game. Nice work
I like the art style of this and the background posters looked cool too. Works well with the theme. I think it is slightly too zoomed in and too short of a level. Nice work for the 72 deadline. Hope you develop this further, would be fun to see it when it's longer.
(@digital-bacon) Cool, I've just played v1.01 version and it I think it looks much better. I think the rotation of the turret would be better if it rotated faster towards the mouse position, but other than that it's a fun game concept and look forward to seeing more levels added. Yes them posters are cool, jam time well spent imo :laughing:
Nice idea for the theme and fun game. I liked the graphics and music and the upgradable system is a nice touch. Great work for a compo game!
Nice choice of game mechanic, I like games like these, fun to play and the pixel art looks good too. Nice work.
Fun game and good idea for theme, I liked the background sound, it brings a spacey sci-fi horror movie feel to the game. I enjoyed the way you can dodge enemies when they dart after you to make them fall off the edge, good stuff.
Nice and eerie atmosphere and lighting effects, relaxing to play. Great work for the time constraints.
Cool idea for the theme and for having to top up flower bars by whispering to them, nice pixel art and music too. Fun to play, nice work.
Had fun playing this game and good idea for the theme. The main character looked great and I liked the music too. I think it would be more fun and less frustrating for the player if the timer was counting how long it took to complete the level, instead of how much time you have left, so the player can beat their previous times and not have the timer beat them. Nice and original work
Original idea, I like the TV program parodies and the humour. The mission channels that never made it to the game sound good too. Nice work
Nice work, fun to play and decent pixel art. I liked the way the spiders pounce at you if you get stuck to a web lol
Nice and relaxing diving game, I liked the good variety of upgrades to buy. Shame about the lack of sound but apart from that, it's fun game.
Cool idea for theme, I really liked the art work and the 2.5D graphics. Music fit well with the game, nice work.
Nice work on the audio and attack effects. Quite tricky but fun, I scored 6
Thanks for kind feedbacks and Eric for spotting that, the Dive Suit should display it's correct lvl when you return to the shop now.
Thanks for feedback. Yes I'm planning to add features to the game once voting is over, thanks for suggestions.
@aerolink Nice bug find, not sure how you managed to sky dive but will look into to preventing this ability lol. Yes I agree it needs a lot more adding to it but I worked on this alone and there wasn't enough time to include everything at once, but I've been working on adding lots more features and changes to this game to give it more variety and also add more interesting travel options to shorten the long travel distance parts of the game. Thanks for feedback
(@masterkrepta) Thanks for playing and the feedback, no not with this version but I'm working on more features to add after the voting ends. I've just got a treasure detector working to help players to find treasure easier, squashed a few bugs, and planning on having underwater cave pockets to refill oxygen at a few locations. Also working on travel options to shorten the long travel distance parts of the game.
(@nosfer) Ah yes that was a good Amiga game . Yes you can upgrade your swim speed by upgrading your diving suit, which also increases your oxygen tank, but these will be separate shop options eventually. I'm also going to add the ability to use oxygen as a thruster after the voting ends, might also help shorten long journeys to make it more interesting. Thanks for feedback
Cool C64 style game, really like the grapihcs and music. Nice work, fun to play.
Unstable robot wars, I liked it lol. Great idea for the theme and it is fun to play too. Quite difficult to master the harder levels, which is good, but once you build up a momentum for your attacks you can whack them off the screen. Good work, you don't get many beat 'em up style games on jams.
Interesting and complex game, wasn't sure what I was doing at first but got the hang of it on second play through, looks like a lot of work was put into this. Nice work!
Nice atmospheric game with a dark mood music to boot. It was fun trying to balance the unstable tower of tetris blocks. I got to about 48 before it all came tumbling down. Fun to play game, good luck with the jam
Nice puzzle style platformer game. Really liked wobbly platforms, was fun to play, good work!
Interesting and fun to play with some nice graphics. I like the atmosphere of it and the pistol man idea.
Cool concept, I like the game loop too. The graphics look really nice, as if they belong on an old pirate map or something. Fun to play and seems well polished too. Nice work
Really like this, good fun and great idea for unstable theme and fun game. Got stumped on this level, but don't tell me, I'll try work it out next time I play it.
Hazmat Magic.jpg
Also like the chill music for it too. Nice work!
Fun to play balancing game with fun boss fight mechanics. The 2D/3D mashup worked great and the graphics suited the game well. Good stuff all round.
Cool meltdown console game idea for the jam and I liked the robot voice effects too. Quite a complicated set up and fun messing about with the controls to work out what does what. Good work :thumbsup:
Good idea for the jam and fun and challenging first person platform jumping game. Really like the texture graphics too, nice work
Really liked the Aztec jungle graphics and the platform physics felt nice too. The levels increased in difficulty just right each level. Good polished puzzle platformer game and fun to play.
Cool game, I liked the grab with reaction spin wheel mechanic, was fun to play and made me laugh. Good work for a Compo game!
Fun 3D dungeon crawler and impressive considering it was made in just one weekend. I liked the spell effects and the enemies looked cool too, nice work!
Excellent graphics and fun gameplay. I like the way the music makes the game feel more frantic when the workload piles up. Nice work, had fun playing it.
Really well polished game for a 72 hour project, good work! Pretty solid game loop with fun dialog scenes, great graphics and some fun power ups. The red 3-eyed squid monster was my favourite enemy :)
Really liked the lassoing radioactive farm animals gameplay and the graphics. Good humorous game, was fun to play and music suited the game well. Nice work!
Really nice game all round, nicely thought out glyph puzzles and cool story with it, good work!
A fun game of spaceship golf. I liked the warped effect of the black holes and was fun to play. I didn't manage to upload my score to the high score table (played on html) 'Error uploading highscore'. Still enjoyed it and the background music was decent too
@jeff-kerman nice I got my name on the score board this time, good stuff :)
Nice building graphics, effects and sprite graphics too. Good idea for the theme, the buildings felt like they were going to topple a couple of times but didn't. Fun to play and would be cool to play on phone.
Fun idea for a point and nice click adventure. The graphics looked nice and detailed, I also liked the walk animation and humour in the game. I also was hoping to be able to boot the bathroom door open after drinking the shake and training my strength up lol.
Excellent idea for the theme and fun game to play. Some good humour in there too that made me laugh, the resignation in the recycle bin for one lol. Played through all five levels and enjoyed each of them. The UFO at the end was a nice way to finish the game too. Nice work!
Cool story intro and fun top down shooter. I think it might of been better to have the player toggle between fire ice and nature power with the press of a key instead of it being random, because I ended up just mashing shoot button until enemies where dead, which is fine but it made the colour of magic less important to concentrate on. Fun game still, and liked the boss :)
Fun platformer and nice character art, I like the turtle. The level layout is good and the wobbly platforms are fun too, good work!
Cool meteor firing game with nice gravity orbiting game mechanic. I liked the way that they had a range of different personalities, my favourite ones were the depressed one and the small scrappy one lol. Found it quite difficult to hit the planets but still had fun playing it and managed to get a few in the end.
Now I know how Homer Simpson feels lol. Nice idea for the theme and well made. The character art was cool too, fun game.
Really well made game with good audio, excellent pixel craft and fun to play. Could see me coming back to play this one. Nice work, it makes me want to improve my pixel graphic skills
@goldenevolution - Thanks for playing, glad you liked it
@timmith - Thanks and good score! My highest score is A, but I play tested it at least a 100 times lol
@jake-marks - Thanks for playing and streaming the game, was really fun to watch someone else play it
@heiach Thanks for playing it and glad you enjoyed it. It's 100 points for each ice block you melt, 300 points for each gem you collect and 5000 points for reaching the bottom of the level
Very fun and addictive, would play this again. Highest score after about 10 tries and I got a highscore of 14. I liked the game mechanic and the pixel art too. Cool game!
Great fiddley fun lol, highest I could score was 6 but would play again. Good work!
Nice top-down shooter, quite challenging but fun. I like the explosion graphics too
Fun to play platform game, I like the jazzy blues music, it suited the feel of the game quite well. I liked the way you had to move the ghost with the moving platform to stay on it. Also liked the pixel art of the buildings too, good work :thumbsup:
Nice idea for the theme and fun to play. Would of give the game more atmosphere if there was some sound, but other than that, a nice game loop, good work!
I like this, quite tricky to play but made well. Will come back to play this one, added it to my list. I liked the dragon art and the death animations, good fun skill game.
Nice polished asteroids style game. I liked the powerups and the audio, nice work!
Nice game, I liked the enemy models, especially the dragon looking one and the music was cool too.
Nice atmospheric feel to the game that works well and good idea for the theme. Fun game and looks like a lot of work has gone into this, good luck with the jam.
Play as a exploding dynamite man, nice haha. A really fun idea and some what satisfying to play. Nice work
Cool idea for a game with nice graphics. It took me a little while to figure out how to free the horses but once I did it was fun to play. Great work for a 1st jam also, hopefully more to come :)
Prototype has potential, the graphics looked nice and the concept is a fun idea.
Impressive for 48 hours to make 9 mini games! I liked all the games, but found diving the most difficult. I know you probably didn't have time to add music to it, but that's the only thing it seemed to be missing. Great work and good luck with the Compo!
Really liked the concept and fits perfectly with the theme. The levels are nice and tightly designed and take some practice and skill to complete. I enjoyed playing it, I found the bonus speed pickups level too hard to complete but I will probably go back and try again. The graphics seemed a bit too basic, but didn't spoil the gameplay. Some more sound effects and background music would of given it some more atmosphere. Other than that it has good level design and was fun to play, nice work!
Was fun to play, cool colourful special FX arena shooter with some nice Tron vibes to it. Nice work and good luck for the Compo!
Cool quick fire mathematics game. Nice work on the graphics, the squirrel looks awesome
@disperse Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it. Yes it's a tricky game and the timing is tight, I've play tested it from the beginning each time all the way through a few times to make sure it's possible, so it is definitely beatable it's just very unforgiving lol
Really nice audio and graphics, has old arcade vibes. I agree with Juutis on an improvement on gameplay for having some indicator to briefly show where the meteor is going to fall.
This was a great idea, blast from the past from these style of hand-games. Even the audio sounded authentic and the game was fun too, nice work!
Really fun idea and some good humour (pitching an idea for Only-Cans) lol. Also the first game jam game that made use of my microphone. Nice work!
Great graphics, audio and interesting idea for the theme. Not bad at all, good work.
Fun game and quite tricky. I agree with the other comments about the audio. Almost any audio is better than none at all. Aside from that, a nice game jam game!
Really fun top-down shooter. The graphics are great, I like the trees. The variation of enemies was nice too and the music is a nice fit for the game. Good work!
Not bad for a first game on Godot and the timescale. I think even some simple sounds would of breathed more life into it. I liked the concept for the theme and has a fun gameplay loop, nice work.
Fun action shooter with weapon/stat upgrades kept it interesting. I liked the way you could duck in and out of the bubble to collect pickups and liked the artwork too, nice background scenery. I think adding a sprint or dash/dodge with shift key would be a cool addition, but it regardless of that it was fun to play, nice work!
Great idea for the theme and on point for the nightmare parking in busy car parks, I've seen this in real life so many times lol. Good work was fun to play!
Aside from some graphical glitches here and there, I liked the idea of the game and the music and sfx were good too. Nice work, be nice to see this developed further.
Great take on the theme and an interesting puzzle mechanic for a platformer. The music and sound effects should be set to 100% by default imo. It was only until I read other peoples' comments that I found out there was audio on the game, which sounded good too. Good game and fun to play.
Great atmospheric suspense horror game. I didn't even expect that shark monster man on my first playthrough. On me 2nd play, the music spike just as I saw him darting towards me and it made me jump a bit lol. I didn't manage to find all the valves so will have to come back to this one later. Good work!
Cool idea for the theme, and it had more depth to it than I thought it had at first. Good work, especially for a compo game. A fun way to use dlc as a game mechanic and was fun to play.
Great thinker of a puzzle game with a decent amount of levels. The only feedback for improvement I would of suggested really is some background music to give it more atmosphere. Good work!
Nice song, it fit well for the game. The zombies and band looked good too, nice work!
I really like the if at first you don't win buy some upgrades and try again design. Also cool idea for the theme too, good work!
So that's what happened to Barry lol. Really fun forklift game and the voice over was great too. I've added this one to my itch collection and will probably play this again. Nice work!
Nice limited space puzzle game, the graphics work well with it too. It needs some background music to give it some atmosphere. I had fun playing it though, good work!
Really liked the graphics on this one and was fun to play. The grappling hook was good idea for this too, good work!
Original idea for the theme and some funny scheduling events. The music is nice and the gameplay speed is paced is just right. I think it just needs some more graphics or picture events when you achieve an objective/score to give it some variety. Other than that, Good work!
A well thought out game and good story and some memory puzzle game. Nice interesting way to tackle the theme too. The graphics were cool too, especially the watercolour style background, good work!
Fun idea for a game. The miner was too fast and needs a restart button when game over happens, but I like the idea of keeping the light on to survive. Good luck with further development of it.
Мне пришлось использовать приложение для перевода, чтобы читать и прослушивать образцы голоса, но я могу сказать, что над этим было потрачено много труда. Оформление было хорошим, и история понравилась. Хорошая работа!
Good idea for the theme, took a few tries to get the hang of it and was fun to play. Nice work!
Very creative way to tackle the theme and simulating a hard drive with memory. The graphics were great also, a lot of effort was put into this by the looks of it. Good work!
Some impressive artwork and some nice mood/atmospheres with the audio and scenes. I think with some additional choices and maybe alternate consequences would of been nice. Was a cool visual novel, nice work!
Excellent use of the theme and fun arcade space shooter. The tech tree was a good design choice and kept it interesting. Would play this game, nice work!
Was a fun and frantic luggage packing game. I didn't realise that you could chop up bigger items until my 2nd play through. The music was really happy and quirky and fit the game great. Good game!
Interesting and unique idea for the Summoning theme, The info cards looked good and I really liked the detail in the storyline and lore of the characters. I thought the art style and the audio fit well and didn't encounter any bugs. Nice work, a fun game!
Very cool game entry, had fun playing it. Nice job on the procedural walking animation, always nice to see, made the character feel more grounded, which worked well for the game. Also liked the art style, nice work!
Nice job on the spider web game mechanic. I didn't realise at first the game had started, I though it was just a really cool title screen at first. Very fitting for an Halloweenish October game. It's a shame you had to refresh to restart but still a fun game, good stuff!
Very nicely done, some nice PS1 horror game atmosphere to it and some nice detailing too, I especially like the creatures and the gun reloading animation with the air pressure clouding out. Great stuff, had fun playing it!
Cool original game idea, it's the first dust bunny themed game I've ever played. Was short but fun and the graphics where good too. Nice work!
I liked the graphics and the idea but I didn't think the game offered much in terms of options in the combat and seemed unclear of what character to place where. I spent the whole game randomly placing pieces and watching it do it's thing.
Really nice and cosy puzzle game and liked the puzzle game mechanic use with the theme. 3rd level took me a few tries but got it done. The last level was also a nice fun bonus level to finish it off. Nice work was fun to play!
I've never tried JavaScript before this, just C#, C++ and a bit of BASIC but this was fun and refreshing to see this type of game on a game jam. The only thing I would change is I'd add some graphics and sound to give it more character and atmosphere. Nice work, hope I see more games like this in future jams.
That was very fun and quite addictive. Great take on the theme for the jam, was fun trying to balance the eco-system and found myself playing it for longer than I thought I would. Good stuff!
Very fun concept and funny game, the title screen made laugh too. Felt quite dizzying and chaotic as the game progressed but that just added to the fun. Nice work, enjoyed playing it!
@nikkunakku Thanks for feedback, it's not my first Unity game, I've made about 4 or 5, it's the first time I used Unity for a game jam though. Much more of a challenge than GDevelop lol. I was originally going to have a basic skill tree with many different tiny creatures to catch, but quickly ran out of time and had to keep the scope down to be able to finish it. The sensitivity has been more than fine on my mouse, but didn't think of the lower DPI users. There's probably some way I could change that with C# script, but it never crossed my mind to be honest, will consider that in future jams though thank you.
@winter2277 Thanks, yeh 45 might of been a bit much, I should of had it at about 12 or 20 at the most thinking about it. It increases with difficulty each time you level up by adding an extra ghost spawn. I would of liked to have included more variety in enemies and mechanics but ran out of time and had to scope down.
@glassar Thanks haha, well the mice need hunting so they don't destroy the coffins and the dead can rest in peace. Also, the mice are the tiny creatures part of the theme :smile:
Fun game idea, I like the pixel art and you caught the atmosphere of a 3am kitchen mood. It feels like a Tamagotchi game with angry monster consequences. Nice work, fun to play!
Cool spidercat idea and the graphics are great, had fun playing this, nice work!
This was a crazy dream of a game to play. I'll probably dream this later, very surreal and one of my favourites so far. Them laughing shrimps are still echoing in my mind lol. Nice work!
Interesting idea and different style of tower defence. I liked the 3D models of the characters and the overall graphics were nice too. Nice work!
Nice little crab beat'em up. Love the anchor tattoos on the crabs and the finisher system and the graphics are nice too, nice work!
I liked the dialog mix with the matching pairs idea, seemed to work well. The computer opponent seemed to see and remember the cards I turned over on the previous turn quite well, not sure if coincidence or a clever computer opponent. Graphics and style was nice too, good stuff!
Interesting game idea, I enjoy a good puzzle game, nice work!
Good idea for theme, and liked the doomed ending too. A nice balanced difficulty and some nice pixel art. Nice work!
Very interesting and artsy frog game entry, I liked the music too. Nice take on the theme also, nice work!
Very nice visuals and colour, I really liked that level transition animation. Nice bit of arcade fun, good work!
Quite simple but fun to play. Needs some extra variety in enemy types and the fire rate and power could of increased by spending the coins you collect after each level. Good stuff though!
Nice atmospheric music and I liked the green fish animation and the other graphics too. Fun and challenging once it starts getting darker, good stuff!
Wow this is quite impressive, there was some nice water effects used and the graphics where quite polished and the game was fun to play. Also nice game mechanic on the dice style combat, quite an interesting idea, nice work!
I liked the chaos of trying to drive a ship through icebergs in between letting go of the steering wheel to run around your ship to managing the crew who each actually help the ship in their own way. Cool idea and was fun to play, nice work!
Really fun game, the nice work on the animated UI, it looked great! Some nice abilities on the ships too. My best ranking was 3rd place, so close lol
I did my best lol, and it's a working map somehow. Really cool take on a exploring game you can draw on a map and see it in a 3D game. Great stuff I enjoy that! dungeon-map.png
Really liked this game loop, had a nice pace to it. The graphics looked great and was nice and relaxing to play, nice work!
Really fun falling game with a nice variety of obstacles. The egg dude is pretty cool too, nice work!
Cool murder mystery game, I liked the way people were walking around on their own routes and having different dialogs as time went on. I checked the upstairs and downstairs library and every book for one that opened a secret door, but there was none lol. Fun game and nice work!
@stratcat66 haha, I knew it, I understand though, I wanted to put more in my game but there's not always enough time to fit it all in
Looks like professional book illustrations, nice work! A fun one for the theme too!
That's some high level pixel art polish, good work! Sets the mood/atmosphere perfect with the audio and the game ran fine without bugs. Would of been great to be able to upgrade your speed, oxygen, etc with the money you earn to give it more urgency and have some sort of progression because the game feels a little too slow paced. It's a great looking game though, looks professional!
A really fun rockfall/mining type game and quite lengthy too, nice work! Enjoyed the bombs and shotgun weapon.
Pretty solid level design, great idea for the theme and really fun and challenging skill puzzle game. Excellent stuff, top marks!
A green freestyling trick fish with a double mohawk and sunglasses called Slappy is a cool character design imo lol. Was fun to play and 3D graphics are always nice to see in game jams and it ran pretty good in the Ludum Dare embed some how, top marks!
Cool old school platformer with some nice upgrade and was a lot of fun to play, nice work!
Some really nice graphics and nice challenging shovel/pick axe reaction tester. I liked the dwarf character graphic, nice work!
Really fun arcade action game, the explosions looked pretty cool and impactful, nice work!
Fun and interesting idea for a puzzle game, was confusing at first but got the hang of it. Fun to play too, nice work!
Quite a clever mole game and very Depths themed. Graphics and characters look cool and was fun and challenging. Nice work!
Cool tower defence game, reminded me of Tron. Ran really smooth even though there was lots going on in the scene, nice work, enjoyed that.
Cool jam game and nice take on the theme. Nice graphics and arcade style music, was pretty fun and challenging! Good work!
Really fun relaxing game, the upgrades were nice and plenty too. I know you probably didn't have time to add more, but I think it would of been nice to be able to spend gold to unlock the next level with new background and enemies with increased hit points or a boss shark or something. I played it until all the upgrades where maxed and would of kept playing it if there was more to spend on or unlock lol, great stuff
Nice submarine game, I liked the sonar way of collecting things and the graphics were great too, nice work!
The idea is very surreal and funny, I like it. Quite difficult and not much variety but still fun to play. I had about 20 goes of it and my highest score was about 1600.
Pretty solid game jam entry. Even though it was quick, there was a lot of story decisions and features in it. Fun boardgame like RPG, nice work!
Good job on the sub controls and also the murky atmosphere, just like the sea should be. I like the sonar feature and the story is quite cool too.
Fun mining submarine hybrid game, cool idea. Quite a lot of things to upgrade too, nice work!
I love puzzle games like this. Really fun and well polished and the game mechanic was cool. This definitely would suit some kind of atmospheric music.
@dywanix @keith-wang @kotolazer @510 @letmebeme Thanks for playing glad you enjoy it! Yes I should of known that the Ludum Dare website would be buggy with the embedded feature. I thought it would work this time :stuck_out_tongue: It won't let me delete the Ludum Dare embedded game from the page either :laughing: I'll try again later.. If you want to play the game, use the itch.io link https://thesoulgrinder.itch.io/dark-ness
Ah it worked, there's only the itch.io web link now :smile:
@the-stewarts @ronalchue @jester1454 @leumas @ezduzzit @jtap @buckmeister @aveezavr @7uc4s @shadow64 @scott-r-howell Thanks all for checking it out and leaving some much welcomed funny/nice comments!
@aveezavr @7uc4s @shadow64 Sorry about the spacebar guys, mine took some punishment too during testing lol, I was going to have a retro golf game style bar you need to do a few times to catch the fish but due to time constraint this was easier and required less time to do lol
@scott-r-howell Good catch thanks! I didn't notice I did that and changed it now from Source Code to HTML5(Web)
@indiealesha Thanks! Yeh if I had more time I would of expanded on the bird and variety haha would of been cool.
@bartholomheow) Thanks, glad you liked it!
@surweaver Yes ironically by reaching the game over screen you completed the game :smile: Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
@batthecat Thanks, glad you liked it!
@batthecat Thanks, much appreciated! Yeh there's a couple of bugs, birds, Nessies and fish to find lol
@rachenite @jddoesdev @brian-russell @jscommander Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to put some jump scares, like a cat jumping out of nowhere and stuff like that, but I spent most of my time on the models, minigames and the 4.5 minutes long title screen and ran out of time as always :smile: Yeh I'm not sure why he would feel the need to go fishing at night after the Swan incident, he really had the survival instincts of a lemming lol.
@nicknickolas Thanks, much appreciated! Yeh I usually do 2D games for jam but I'm giving 3D a go lol, I always do a browser version though, most people prefer them. If you quickly and repeatedly press space bar when the fishing hook icon is over the fish icon it is much faster
@robertfishfellow @jepjoh2 @alvaroromeral @linky439 Thanks, much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it!
@p1x3lc0w Thanks for feedback, it was good fun to make and yes the birdwatching zoom animation is a bit whacky, the fishing is a bit space bar heavy and there was a couple of other little things I'd of like to of fixed before I ran out of time lol
@mashedpotato Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Nessie is in 3 places in the title sequence, 3 in the birdwatching level and 3 in the fishing level too. I spent too much time making and improving that title sequence really, I just enjoyed making the sequence. Think I'll make a more sequence based game next jam if the theme fits lol
@kurakurture Thanks very much! Was fun to make, I don't usually make games with camera sequences but is something I'm going to practise more. Totally agree with you on the Space bar fishing minigame, I was going to have the retro golf swing mechanic that you do a few times per catch and also have Nessie animation pulling you into the water but ran out of time, but oh well it'll have to do :smile:
@ping78 Thanks, much appreciated!
@alem26 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! She is cute until you get too close, lol. You can spot her in 3 spots during the title sequence, 3 while birdwatching, and 3 while fishing.
@texugo Thanks, much appreciated! I know, sorry about space bar fishing lol, I forgot to update the instruction text and the mini game so it was clear and was more fun but ran out of time.
@lucasito Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I was going to contrast calm and relaxing activities with some jump scares, but instead it ended up being a relaxing horror lol
@binaryprinciple Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! I agree, it would of been nice to include a collection book for the birds and fish.
@gdman Thanks, much appreciated! :)
@borabee Thanks, glad you liked it! I spent far too much time on the title screen to be honest lol, good to see people were patient enough to enjoy it. I don't usually do scenes like that but it was really fun to mess about with.
Interesting idea for the theme, I liked the plenty of upgrade options too. Nice work!
Nice retro digger game and some nice graphics and spacey audio atmosphere. Nice work, was quite challenging.
Quite simple concept but good fun! I like the art for the devil, very polished and nice work!
Pretty fun hack n slash platformer and the graphics were pretty decent too!
I got the game working fine on my browser (Chrome) and thought the game looked amazing. The robot character his flying robot and the haunting music in a dystopian world was a cool setting. The text style shader looked cool too. Shame there was nothing to interact with on the levels. This could be an excellent foundation for a game with some added interactives and features. Great stuff for just 72 hours of work!
Really cool and fun idea for the theme, very visually pleasing and fun to play. The music added to the atmosphere of the game. Also it's almost always a good idea for a grappling hook and it added to the fun in this game too, nice work!
Pretty good fun pogo game mechanic and the level design was pretty good too. It really needed some sort of music, but apart from that well polished and came across no bugs, nice work!
Cool idea for the theme and fun to play. I like underwater games like this, it had a nice art style to it too, nice work!
The graphics and music looked really good but the game seemed clunky and lagged quite a bit. Apart from that it was ok
Cool idea for the theme and I liked the weapon upgrading system in it too. The music was nice fit for the game and was fun to play too, nice work!
Cool sprite animation and good to see a grappling hook game, and I liked the being swept up by wind when you die too. I preferred cursor keys movement but was still a fun platformer, nice work!
Perfect skill based falling game for the theme, fun to play and I really liked the fire obstacle graphics, looks nice. Wasn't good enough to reach the high score sadly but still had fun.
Wow that's a lot of features included for just 72hrs lots to do! Suits the theme great and was fun to play. It's always nice to see game jams were people go all in, nice work!
This a neat prototype, with some extra buildings and world events this could be pretty good. Nice work!
A solid jam entry for the theme and also a good fun game to play. The difficulty, the mood and atmosphere was done right. I liked the upgrade system too, made collecting the pearls more purposeful. Good work!
Actually very fun and challenging. Graphics were simple but looked great and I liked the ever changing levels, which give it some nice variety and kept it interesting. My record was sadly only 37 but I played about 30 rounds of it lol
The graphics for the customers and ingredients looked really cool, but I couldn't get the ingredients in the pans or give the customers the food.
Interesting idea, my solar system ended up looking like a bouncy ball chaos lol
I don't mind a bit of solitaire every now and then. Fun game
Very nice game! The title screen with the 3D animated arm was cool too. Great audio and frantic fun gameplay, I managed to score a 2100 after a few goes
Nice moody atmosphere and 3D graphic style too. Good fun!
Nice game, the graphics and audio were great. Took a few magnet throws to get the hang of it but was fun. I kept guessing too greedy for the loot so ended up poor and got called a magnet boy lol
I thought the art style was nice and I love puzzle games like this. The good kind of surreal and interesting level design you want in a puzzle game like this too. Good work!
I like doodle art style in games, nice work! Interesting idea for the theme too. Took me a while to know what I was doing before I started to get further, quite a challenging game but was fun too.
Cool idea for the theme, like the Anchoring game mechanic. The music was nice and relaxing and the muscle granny animation was funny too, nice work!
A fun and original game with a mix of drone mining and rail shooting, the music was great too, got me head bobbing, good stuff!
Cool idea, I like those timed event mechanics, graphics look nice and clean too, good work!
I do like a good cat game. Nice relaxing atmosphere with a slice spooky. The graphics and music were really well done. Nice work!
Nice game, would of been nice to have a browser version but apart from that it was really fun
Nice game, I liked the upward/forward shooting game mechanic, quite challenging but fun stuff!
Nice little cosy 3D platformer game, I liked the jelly head character and the cloud particles. Fun game, nice work
Really fun and interesting game idea. The music was really good too. Was a bit confusing at first but fun to play once I got it. Nice work!
Really fun memory puzzle game idea. The levels were designed well and I could imagine you could take that idea quite far with that dimension hopping game mechanic. I would of preferred cursor key controls for movement, I liked the swaying background and graphic style too, nice work!
Cool unique platformer with some voiced narration. Really liked the idea of building your character with collectable body parts to get past obstacles, good stuff!
Cool game, the swarm of enemies near the boss was chaotic but fun. Could of done with some kind of music or ambience in the background to give it a bit of atmosphere
Nice turn based space game had fun playing this one, good stuff!
That was a gruesome and funny idea for a game, I liked it haha. I was half expecting the Wolverine arms to start regenerating if I stopped swimming ground but they didn't so I swam until they were just shoulders and continued destroying more arms lol. Nice work!
Very interesting idea for the theme, I could see this expanded on to include all sorts. Nice moody atmosphere and map graphics too, nice work!
Nice branching path story game. Good stuff!
That was an emotional rollercoaster lol. I liked the way your answers seemed to speed up or slow down his anxiety bar, and the writing was quite good, nice work!
Really well made and relaxing idle clicker game with some nice minigames for variety! These are the types of games I lose many hours to :smile: Top marks, good work guys!
Interesting idea for the theme. Really nice art style too, nice work!
Cool idea for the theme, and fun to play too. The music and atmosphere are spot on too. Really nice work!

Quite a challenging fun game with a nice variety of abilities to play with. Had fun playing this, nice work!
Cool signal idea with sonar flappy bat game. Actually quite fun, after a few goes this was my top score. I think I need more practise :smile:

Interesting idea for a signal game and pretty amazing how many frequency combinations you can come up with too. Good work, was fun to play!
Excellent job on the water, I never get it to look that good. Nice amount of gameplay created for 72hrs and the graphics look great too, nice work was fun to play!
Really cool idea for the signal theme with the LiDAR visuals in a car game. Was really fun to play, nice work!
A fun story game with nice radio tuning mechanic. Had a really fitting mood and atmosphere with the audio too, good work!
@mostlikely thanks for playing. I just tested that part and found what the problem was, you'll be initiating the NPC conversation after the chat is done. It's my fault though, there is no delay to being able to chat to him once he's finished and if you press space when he is finished (which isn't that obvious), it will just start the conversation again
@voxar thanks for playing, sorry you got stuck. you just need to fly to the hole in the top of the ship. I was going to make animated arrows for it but ran out of time lol. I made a short video where you can see the how the ship docks to the wrecked ship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vOBy92_k6M
@fadingdreamstories @jynxaudio Thanks for playing and leaving feedback, and glad you enjoyed it! Yeh I agree, in hindsight I should of had the signal remain visible instead of fading in and out. As you get closer it becomes more frequent but it's better to know how far away you are at all times.
Brilliant game and nice selection of music too. Nice work on the story, was fun to read!
Cool idea for the theme using nodes as conversation gameplay. I've not seen that done before, nice work!
Really cool atmospheric puzzle and the good use of lighting and fog too, nice work!
Cool adventure puzzle, a lot achieved in such a short time! I liked the sort of paper on stick character animation graphics, was very original and fun to play, good work!
Nice idea for the jam, would of been funny to hear them getting upset the more the wrong shapes fit :smile:
You've managed to do quite a lot with this in just 72hrs well done! The tutorial was great the colour mechanic mixed with tower defence was fun too, good work!
Really fun arcade shooter with some like rogue-lite features. Nice work, was fun to play!
Nice game entry, I like a card strategy game, quite intuitive mechanics too, good work!
Really fun and challenging, quite a lot of gameplay achieved in such a short time, good work!
Really funny game and left me with the feeling of what on Earth have I just played! :smile: I like the pseudo-3D forest graphics too!
Brilliant idea, made me laugh too, was fun to play nice work!
Really like this, such a clever way to tackle the theme "signal" and a fun puzzle game too that makes you think, nice work!
Interesting idea for the theme, I liked the character sprites, nice work!
Nice idea for the theme and zapping them was fun. I liked the graphics too, good work!
Interesting game, I like the glitchy screen effect, nice work!
Clean game mechanics and deceivingly fun to play, nice work!
Original game entry, I was getting -200 score a couple of times before I read the instructions on the screen properly and then I got a nice 181 :smile: Fun to play game, good work!
An amazing amount of detail for a game jam entry! The graphics, UI and the chill music are really a nice fit for the game too. It's good work!
Pretty decent jam entry, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do at first but once I figured it out it was really fun. Nice graphics and audio too, good work!
Good theme idea, nice original take on Tetris mechanics. Fun and challenging, nice work!
Really cool idea for the theme, I started to remember the signals without looking them up after a while. Fun game, good work!
Really cool and challenging puzzle game, was fun to play, good work!
Cool first person puzzler, was really fun to play. The audio was a nice fit for the game too, good work!
