LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Chess Hellevator by BoxedMeatRevolution 2021-04-28T17:18:46Z

Cool concept, very addictive and fun! Colors on the field are pretty weird, started to hurt my eyes after a while and sometimes it's hard to see figures at the glance. Also music is cracking for me. Levels are good, had a blast! Would love to see this polished.

Dieper & Deaper by Chartle 2021-04-27T16:37:30Z

Cool little game, had a laugh or two... or three :D. Music, setting and graphics match very well. Good job!

Hellbearer: The Deepening by jelch 2021-04-27T17:58:54Z

Nice characters. Really lacks sounds and effects for digging tho.

RAMnesia by 100th_Coin 2021-04-27T16:13:50Z

Awesome game! Outstanding in every aspect! Puzzles are good and satisfying, mechanics are fun, graphics, story and sounds are very fitting and good. Would love to see hotkeys for resetting variables and tutorial for picking things up, didn't understand how to pickup keys until i've read controls on game's page. But that's just small QoL things. Good job!

Lonely Journey by blockerz 2021-04-28T18:01:20Z

Style is neat, but game is mostly about waiting for fuel to refill and clicking one button x times. Overall gameplay is too slow for my taste. Log messages are nice tho.

Disco Inferno by Simon Rahnasto 2021-04-27T17:45:33Z

Great game! Really liked the vibe, overall visual and audio design is very good. Voicovers are phenomenal! Killed the boss in 5 or 6 hits, could be a little tougher fight. Controls are a little sticky, i think making character respond faster would be better. Still, really fun!

Duality: Deep Corruption by MaiMai 2021-04-27T18:08:02Z

Cool element selector, but game sadly lacks everything else. Nice character models tho.

A Journey Down by RedHermit 2021-04-27T19:01:21Z

Doesn't work with 16:10 aspect, can't see half the map. Or there's just invisible wall where you meant to go. Can't play it either way.

A Journey Down by RedHermit 2021-04-28T02:56:48Z

@redhermit I'll get you a screenshot later, but point is i was just watching unicorn falling down the first time thinking it was a cutscene or something. Later i restarted and saw that there's a man on the edge of the map. Some restarts were wasted trying to get the controls, but i managed. I can't go left because of invisible wall and i can't go right, because my screen is over, i can kinda see dropdown starting but can't navigate it offscreen.

A Journey Down by RedHermit 2021-04-28T16:32:54Z

@redhermit It works now, thanks. Nice idea with physics hooman dismemberment, damage sound was pretty funny too. Sadly lacks better level design and more mechanics, i almost always could just drop down ignoring everything. Death mechanics is pretty obscure to me too, i lost all of my body parts and still lived and then just died after something. Lost body parts can also affect gameplay somehow, that would be fun. After polish can become a fun physics arcade, good job.

DRIFTDOWN by NoahRo 2021-04-27T17:32:09Z

Loved the music, graphic style is pretty good too. Pretty hard game tho, and occasional lags killed me a couple of times.

Deep Sea Phishing by Literal Games 2021-04-27T17:00:37Z

**NICE**

Fun and stylish, all minigames are easy to pickup and tie well with the story.

Deep Diver by MEDOcapra 2021-04-28T17:46:18Z

Movement speed is too slow for my taste, also mining works weirdly. Graphics are fine but music is too oppressing.

Deeply Organic by DoctorTM 2021-04-28T17:32:32Z

Fun concept, and story, lots of bugs tho. Somehow clipped below the level in jumping level, had to restart the game. Some attacks while fighting were going right through the enemies. And then they killed me, but somehow i won anyways, enemy HP wasn't even zero, dialog just started and let me through to another level.

Chippy Picker by Javid Ladhani 2021-04-27T17:14:13Z

Didn't really expected more levels and different genres after the first one, pretty fun experience. Liked the animations (acid death especially), but music could be better. Intestine level was a bit bigger than needed and lacks any directions, almost got lost. Good job, anyways!

Trouble in Pizza Town by jorgeblanco 2021-04-27T15:42:41Z

Pretty fun concept, good graphics and music. UI is lacking a bit, i didn't understand that pizza stock was resuplied at first, there was no effect and number was in a corner. Good job, anyways!

RED to the past by Spaint 2021-04-27T16:31:48Z

@fabula-rasa CapitaRex probably died from heart attack while fighting such a loyal communist :hammer_pick: Thanks for the feedback!

RED to the past by Spaint 2021-04-28T19:27:14Z

@gamedevtraum Actually you're supposed to battle boss by recruiting workers, but there's a bug that lets just outright kill him with sickles if you want so :D Now there's multiple ways to get trough the game, i suppose, brute path and charisma path.

DeeperOne by HandsomeShan 2021-04-27T15:34:27Z

Intro was good and set the mood. Nice overall vibe, but controls are challenging and sometimes unrensponsive. Also couldn't find audio settings, music was a little too loud for me.

From DeepSpace by DoomsGuardians 2021-04-27T17:22:44Z

Can't download it, no permissions :(

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Bullets For Hell by davision 2022-04-07T20:44:46Z

Great idea and visuals but controls feel very clunky for me

Terminal thanks by Timo Strating 2022-04-07T19:33:28Z

Cool ascii, especially in the hub. Mouse bug really turned into a nice feature. Sadly couldn't launch level 5, nothing happens on click.

STUDY LADY (cookie mix) by PeachTreeOath 2022-04-05T20:23:06Z

Art is fantastic and music backs it up, but gameplay is too repetitive. It is pretty frustrating to just sit and stare at the screens where you can't or don't want to do anything, over and over again (looking at you, completed portal screens). Got to the third world out of interest, realized that now i have to waste even more time each loop and dropped, sorry. Anyways, had my fun with it, pretty fun idea, just doesn't quite work.

LUNAR DANGER by slimabob 2022-04-05T18:08:15Z

It's pretty fun to blast hordes in the back all around the moon and don't get overwhelmed at the same time. Upgrades keep it interesting till the end. The only problem i found was audio lagging closer to the end of time, maybe something to do with optimization and number of spawned enemies. Good job!

Snooze by LancesCaterpie 2022-04-06T22:31:43Z

Solid snake action. Great controls, great music, great art, great theme interpretation. Very fun overall!

Heat Production by ludevum 2022-04-05T18:34:19Z

Fun for a while, but you only ever need one miner on each resource besides coal. Pretty soon heat doesn't present a threat as you don't need to do anything, just build more miners if loss becomes too high. UI is unintuitive at times. Also, not a fan of being able to pickup resources from all over the screen.

Pots of Problems by Rionisse 2022-04-07T19:14:23Z

Artwork is great, but gameplay is lacking

Super MusicBox by Talia 2022-04-06T22:22:09Z

Boring gameplay, nice grandparents

Ghost In The Washing Machine by foxxy 2022-04-06T22:54:38Z

Great style, want to fix my washing machine rn

Softness by krakadushka 2022-04-06T21:35:18Z

The art is fine, gameplay is basic, the story is cringe, сори

Сова прикольная

Demon Wins Everytime by MacabreArtGames 2022-04-06T22:03:41Z

Controls are clunky and unintuitive, classic wasd scheme would feel a lot better. Upgrades don't do much. Timer for getting a new upgrade or debuff is unclear. Demon bang table funni

Dire Darkness by jsmitq 2022-04-07T20:18:49Z

Terrible graphics and gameplay, sorry. Just not fun.

Take the exam by Zef1r 2022-04-07T20:34:33Z

Pretty basic gameplay and it is boring to grind with no payoff. The art is cool and idea for theme is pretty interesting, but it could be executed much better. Перевод хромает, кстати, stop breeding nerds for answers.

Ejected! by Spaint 2022-04-06T19:43:25Z

@velvetlobster No, sorry, nothing else to show, we were already stressed as it is :)

Inventory was based on this tutorial, it is UE4 specific, but you easily can modify it for anything. https://youtu.be/4CjpBoKl6s8

Live, Flame, Live! by SayuriNyooko 2022-04-07T19:23:22Z

Looks interesting, intro art is great, but the game was too laggy for me to enjoy

Inevitable Dungeon by Surfa 2022-04-06T21:18:18Z

Fun for a few minutes, progression feels nice when you get good items. BUT inventory lacks ability to see stats of the collected items. When you retry game starts to break, especially when you die to a third boss, he doesn't despawns and harrasses you again. Enemies and items stop spawning after retry too.

What, You APE? by PixelTaku 2022-04-07T19:45:48Z

Boss design is cool and idea is interesting but gameplay is confusing and music hurts my ears

You shall not pass by Senso 2022-04-07T19:50:12Z

Very nice platformer/puzzle. Gameplay is fun and keeps you engaged, constantly adding new elements to the list. Reminds me a lot of old flash games. Voice lines when you bump into something were funny at first, but quickly became frustrating because they lock you up for no reason.

UFOTag by Useless Fish 2022-04-06T23:01:44Z

Cute art style. Controls are clunky and i struggled with them a lot. Wiwiwiwi

Under Performer by Allax 2022-04-06T22:45:46Z

Good artstyle, mediocre game design. All of the minigames are pretty basic and boring.

M.A.D - Maintain A Dictatorship by Pentaworks 2022-04-06T21:49:41Z

Fun concept, but some sounds are too loud compared to others and together they sound horrible when there's a lots of protesters

Persist Ant by rynsy 2022-04-06T22:16:00Z

Great art and music. Tho controls are clunky, camera is not helping and everything seems to move too fast. Also i'm constantly getting stuck inside of objects and platforms

Fart Competitions by PureImprov 2022-04-07T20:07:08Z

Thought that this game is stupid but after learning that he-gassen is a real thing feel enlightened. Thanks for a history lesson. Could use a little more feedback when doing things right or wrong, as was already said

LD52 — Harvest

I Require Human Parts by Flaterectomy 2023-01-11T19:27:00Z

Great game, had lots of fun. I didn't even noticed that there were a map top-left before i read the comments, but after a couple of tries i pretty much learned layout by myself. Though it would've helped if it was somehow labeled.

Lo-Fi Harvest & Chill by gamesplusjames 2023-01-11T17:47:32Z

Feel like if it had an option for auto-camera the game would be better. Pretty relaxing otherwise

Under Cow-ver by cbab 2023-01-11T19:32:48Z

Cool idea to harvest something that shields you by being there. Sound is too loud. Got quickly tired of pressing "E" every time, some other way of harvesting would feel much better.

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-09T21:44:08Z

@ectucker1 Sad to hear that you're having problems. Please install [this](https://mega.nz/file/bwRQGbiA#RyUT-AZnMfGUs8KLByZgli3DuGvj3O8mHBOmcPGU6l0) (redist) if you still want to try our game.

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-10T20:06:05Z

@100th-coin Sorry, we didn't really have enough time to test and fix other ratios besides 16:9. Glad you like the game anyways!

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-13T10:00:30Z

@pomo Great stream. Sorry for the crash that cut off your fun, but we're glad you enjoyed the game!

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-13T11:28:17Z

@alex-de-la-cour Thanks, we're flattered :)

Upgrade points carry between days, it's just that you only can spend extra points that exceed the target for the day. So if you collect 12 points with a target of 5, you'll have 7 points to spend, and if you still have unspent points, they will carry to the next day (only for upgrades, you can't collect target points for day 2 in day 1)

Sorry we didn't made this clear enough!

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-13T21:04:00Z

@tricky-fat-cat Thanks! I don't think I understood your question. We didn't use any render targets. If you are asking about a general optimization pipeline, it was as simple as turning off expensive features, not using unnecessary high-res textures, and watching tris count. Unreal mostly did everything for us ;)

Rollin' by Spaint 2023-01-14T11:09:34Z

@tricky-fat-cat Volumetric fog, lumen, raytracing, TSR. And also, all of the plugins you don't plan to use (VR, 2D, etc.)

Happy Piggy Farm 2 by TomatoOmelet 2023-01-11T18:37:48Z

Cool game but sad. Also sometimes you fail because of bad RNG

Chaos Mode by vacuum_packed 2023-01-11T19:42:42Z

Cool idea, but robot stuck up in furniture a couple of times for me and i had to restart.

Haymaker by Bobbo 2023-01-11T18:10:41Z

Cool idea, but controls feel pretty bad. Maybe if it always was showing a hint it would help. Also it's a terrible feeling when you have to undo 10 pieces just to move one of them.

Pseudo-Harvest by JfeeefL 2023-01-12T19:12:05Z

Great idea and implementation! Long restart times were the only thing that was a bit frustrating. Also, in one of the levels, my decoys were a bit exposed by the time officials came, so if it's not already a feature, this waiting time would be a cool motivation for the player to keep the build stable.

Puzzle game about farming I think by ChickensioDev 2023-01-11T18:46:29Z

Cool puzzle, although didn't really like the color scheme and repetitive melody

LD54 — Limited Space

Donut Park Here! by Rongo Matane 2023-10-03T19:33:46Z

Great game! Really would love a space for returning cars. You either wait until end of the day to give their cars back or have to cut into line of new customers. Also after timer ends it kinda becomes a drag to play with so many cars to return and no time limit. Otherwise really enjoyed both type of levels

Cyberframe EDEN by kiririn51 2023-10-03T20:06:53Z

Great game! Kinda slow while you wait for all the attack to play, would love some way to speed it up

Space racer by Sacramentix 2023-10-03T23:37:59Z

Really cool concept, didn't understand how to play at first but got the hang of it shortly after

Corporate Courier Deluxe by JuanRod707 2023-10-03T20:27:28Z

Cool concept, would love a way to move and stack boxes so i could see the destination without taking each one in hands

Chuckle Bus by GobletSipper 2023-10-03T23:36:48Z

Purr-fect Bedtime by Chengnan17 2023-10-03T20:39:53Z

Cool concept, but i somehow won and lost at the same time in level 3 and game got stuck at the lose screen

Dark Reflect_ions by Victor Musteata Potatka 2023-10-03T19:49:33Z

Nice style but game is lacking, cool for your first attempt at games and coding i guess

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Watch your step by asfdfdfd 2024-10-08T20:36:09Z

Nice idea, feels nice to control the legs. Got frustrating at some moments, like when you touch tiny people just a bit and they die. Also one time managed to crush somebody by lifting the leg. The only thing I would like is some audio settings, got hit with the music being really loud :(

Sammich by ColeSlaughter 2024-10-08T22:39:14Z

Wonderful style and simple but fun gameplay, nice job! Intro is top notch, just for that you earn all of my stars

Every Corner by shp 2024-10-08T20:57:13Z

Cool level, it was fun to look for the needed items, needed to specifically search for where to go only a couple of times. Also at first thought that it is a bug that you can't jump or leap, because animation plays but nothing happens. Would be great if controls would appear only after gaining the ability

ONE MILLION MICROSCOPIC KITTENS by Milestone Games 2024-10-08T22:29:50Z

Love the premise, love the style and love the movement. Solid entry! Hearing those tiny kittens cry is heartbreaking tho :cry:

As there is some extra interactable machinery it seems more steps for compiling the kitten were planned, or they are there just for fun?

@cgraen There's a redist installer at this location if you still want to try it: "Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us" Probably should've mentioned it somewhere, ha-ha

You are What You Beat by Sabrina_Ross 2024-10-09T20:04:27Z

Damn... I wish I was a beaver... Great game! It was really cool to see and use all the attacks yourself after you beat the boss. Would loved if there was boss hp bar, but it adds tension, I guess. The final boss fight drags for a little too long, but it's cool Second boss theme is an undisputable banger, enjoyed it very much! Didn't understood at first that you deflect acorns in the direction of your mouse tho

Betsy's Dreamhive by Hauntogogue 2024-10-08T21:21:52Z

Cool enemy designs and narrative. Technical side of things - not so great. Starting from veeeeeeeeeeeeery long fade animations in the menu after clicking a button, to veeeeeeeeeeeery long intro sequence, in which you can click to continue, yes, but then you can't read the text and it types out very slowly. Got impatient at the middle of it and chose to skip the rest without reading. Would be much better if click firstly typed out the full text and only then skipped it. Would loved if ingame texts didn't interrupt gameplay so much by pausing the game, maybe if they would appear without pausing, but when there is no danger to the player? Seems like HP bar doesn't work? If that thing in the upper left is a HP bar at all. Got to the attic, but can't understand where to move next, enemy in there doesn't seem to be killable and I see no other way out. Is it the end? Anyways, nice take on the theme, kudos!

LD58 — Collector

IUTBADIAFWBIGTTT9SNICTATMIT by Furisubi 2025-10-15T00:19:18Z

Great name for a game! :D

Couldn't figure out at first why I was losing, I was filling the wrong room up, ha-ha

Sound design is great and really adds to the chaos around. Loved the physical interactions, like everything flying around when the dragon is landing. In my opinion the game would be better without the pixel filter, it doesn't add to the atmosphere, only makes it hard to see things.

Clawful by Spaint 2025-10-06T23:14:47Z

@b0guslaw Sure, here it is https://spaint.itch.io/clawful

Clawful by Spaint 2025-10-07T13:13:42Z

@pschichtel Sorry, I don't think we can provide either :(

@protohere Yeah, we were surprised too when it worked! We only edited other people's models though, I'd have preferred to make them all myself, but there is just too little time...

@d-demetori Really cool! We were thinking about putting the toys into balls in case we couldn't place them as is, but it ended up working

@stuckne1 Added a hints section to the description, you can try nudging or resetting the machine. Glad you liked it anyways!

Clawful by Spaint 2025-10-08T08:31:03Z

@flatgub Thanks for the information! Welp, it never triggered for anyone on the team, the only thing I can do for you is scan those files and swear on it. Which file specifically triggered it for you?

Clawful by Spaint 2025-10-10T17:18:26Z

@100th-coin Great feedback! Thanks for the video, it makes it a lot clearer how we can improve. More so, our team really enjoyed watching it and other videos on your channel, good job. The toy models are 3rd party, sadly, but I dream of having a dedicated 3D artist to fill that gap.

It's a real pity you got that random crash, we haven't had enough time to implement saves. I brutally beat up that LEGENDARY II for bullying you, hope that makes you feel better. Glad you had fun playing!

Bootya by apoly 2025-10-15T00:00:14Z

Great entry! My inner perfectionist rejoiced while I was mopping around, it feels nice. At first I was thinking "Cool game, if only it had a full house map" and you delivered. The music is nice, but gets repetitive quickly. Loved the sounds for each particle though, cool touch. The upgrade system is great and you can feel the progression, but I think it can be improved balance-wise: at the start you always go for max pwr and wide sacrificing speed in the process since there is no timer. I'd easily buy speed upgrades if they cost less than the important ones (200-500), but instead, early game feels kinda sluggish (but meditative, I guess). Also separate max speed and acceleration for rotation feels weird, if you upgrade max rotation more than acceleration rotation will feel really floaty.

Had lots of fun playing, thanks!
