As others say, great shadow of the colosus vibes!
I'd love to see more titans!
Great job for a 3 day project
Awesome cute animations. The arcade minigame play is great for this sort of jam.
I'd love to see the little fellas evolve into a bigger project.
Nice idea! Really love when I see game of life interpretations in games/jams.
Thanks for the submission
Awesome game! Really annoying at times but addicting π.
Loved the movement control feeling and animations.
Very cute art! I really liked the faces in the droplet enemies and the parallax effect on the background.
The menu says "S or E" to slurp but for some reason E didn't work for me so I spent sometime playing without slurping haha. Maybe some indicators in-game when you first spawn would also be nice.
Great art and dialogue. The overall atmosphere is cute and spooooky. Thanks for the submission! :D
Really fun minigame. Loved how you can lose your upgrades as well as obtain them. The upgrade screen stops the flow of the game for a bit but that's not necessarily bad. Thanks for sharing.
Nice vibe, great artwork and sound design. The pinball concept is nice and loved all the neat tooltips.
I would really like to see something like a machine shooting the parabowls haha
The game is pretty and the difficulty ramps pretty neatly. I like the arcade vibe
Beaming up through a red circle kills the little aliens which is not really fun after you have already solved the level. Also there is sometimes a weird flash between levels
I would love to see some SFX for the little people and maybe figuring out ways to make the mechanic less repetitive. Thanks for the submission!
Loved the visuals. The art and the overall atmosphere is very good.
I'd like to see the character move a bit faster and maybe hiding could be controlled. Music might have also helped bump up the atmosphere.
Great submission
Nice game. I went for a full auto victory with a fleet of 60 pumped up drones. Not the fastest but really satisfactory to just chill and see the drones do all the work.
I would love to see some music and some different sfx for the enemies. At the end of my game it sounded like a mechanical keyboard mashing hahaha
The custom C++ engine bit is very impressive and the leaderboard was also a nice addition! Awesome submission
This is soooo great. Love the Tamagotchi vibes. The music is veery chill and the pixel art as well as the shaders sell the handheld arcadey vibe so well.
One of my favourite submissions so far! :D
Great visuals. I love the power washing simulator idea, very chill atmosphere overall.
Very nice game. Love the arcade feel, it reminds me a lot of a Warioware minigame.
Awesome game! The concept of the little window inside the bigger world view was so fun. The dialogue text also made me laugh.
I'd love to have some music in there as well for the tiny people. Using a button to swing the sword or maybe having the character orient towards the click might make the combat more interactive
The gameplay looks really interesting, the visuals too. The concept of a card game is intriguing
I would love to see a tutorial menu or an explanation because I never got to fire the thruster and just ended up making a long boi ratship :P
Very wholesome! The graphics and the music really made the storytelling atmosphere. Nice submission!
A bit hard but hilarious. Really like the style too. Great submission
Uhhh.. no game still :(
Great mood, it felt spooky and uneasy at times (in a good way)! Worms were a bit hard to spot at first but very nice overall!
Really nice! The starting position of stuff makes a big difference but I found myself worrying about my little fellas when I ran out of pherormone π
Thanks for the submission!
Wow! Really amazing you managed to pull this off in shuch a short time. The shaders were great as well as the deep mechanics you implemented. The game has great replayability and it's very clever. I found it a bit hard the first time but once I got the hang of it it got smoother.
I'd love to see the help menu or a tutorial in the main menu because it took me some time to see it π
Awesome submission!
Loved the art, gameplay was pretty fun and the music made a whimnsical atmosphere.
Nice game! Really liked the asset variety. I would love to see the dungeons being progressively generated (ofc outside the scope of a game jam).
Also, I feel that having a clearer end goal would make the game more engaging.
Thanks for the submission! ^_^
Really nice assets! I would love to play a story in your setting. Update us if you continue the game!
Grat atmosphere! I really wanted to see Torpus at the end.
- Graphics really sold the vibe - The monster AI was good enough that you had to be careful - The difficulty ramp was nice too
Great job managing this on your own in two days.
Nice game, the vibe is **cheesy** and lvl 5 was fun to play a couple of times.
I agree with what @trogdor-20x6 said about levels progressing automatically. I also found that if you lose a life on one level, the UI doesn't update you back to full lives on the next but the game state does.
The graphics are really cute too.
Great game! The writing is very good and captivating making you want to move the story forward. I especially liked the corporate messages. The audio helps with the serene mood although it had some janky loops at points
I think I may have unfortunately gotten stuck at the last scene while walking towards the exit so I might have not experienced an ending.
Overall the mood of the game is really serene and I am starting to feel attached to these tiny creatures. Kudos for making a neat short story in 3D in such a short time!
Nice game, thanks for your submission! I see the dialogue bug has already been mentioned haha I got back in the house and got stuck with the witch talking to me π
One thing I'd like to see is maybe a smoother change in scene when you move in the hole.
Great aesthetic overall!

Good job on finishing your firt game! It's a great first step. I'll try to leave honest feedback.
* First of all, congrats on making a game with pygame! It was my first "game engine" too. As much as I love it though, sometimes it makes your life harder and not everyone has or will install python to run your game (or it gets flagged as suspicious) so it kinda limits the exposure your game will get. You can either try investing time in another game engine in the future OR you can continue learning python and how to use it to produce executables and webGL builds. (There are resources like [this](https://github.com/pygame-web)) * It's common practice in python to add a `requirements.txt` file which can be exported with `pip freeze > requirements.txt`. This will help other people using python install all the required dependencies for your game with `pip install -r requirements.txt`. This also pairs well with [virtual environemnts](https://realpython.com/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/) that help isolate code dependencies for each project. * You can try to give your game a story. Maybe even as text before the main game starts. Something as simple as "You must save the fish village from the demonic blackfish" would be enough to set a mood. * Some sort of score mechanic or end goal would really help motivate players to keep playing * Music was a bit loud, very short repetitive motiffs should be lower in volume unless it has some expressive purpose. Otherwise, it can get annoying
Congrats again on submitting for ludum dare! Keep 'em coming :D
Edit: I saw @andrewkennedy left super useful feedback too, you should check it out
The Drop by Langotriel 2025-04-10T08:13:32Z ♥ 1
8oITNPx.jpeg
Amazing characters! The voice acting is exceptional (and hilarious) and the soundtrack is super fitting. The TV filter gives it an extra layer of polish. I think I broke into a collider at some point and ended up inside the ground.
Maybe some sort of change in the background or different obstacles / speed as you go deeper would make the sense of progression stronger.
Awesome submission overall! Great to see another infinite dodge dropper here! :D
Scares on Schedule by python-b5 2025-04-09T17:14:50Z ♥ 1
Awesome game.
Artwork and music are top notch! But damn are the minigames hard hahaha. Especially the match one I couldn't even beat it one time. Some tuning to ease into it as others said might have been beneficial. Like the villagers requiring two minigames at first.
I managed to get two scares after a couple of playthroughs. Super nice submission!
The Depths of the Bag by Croped 2025-04-09T13:06:46Z ♥ 2
Nice job! Very close to being a rage game hahaha
Artwork and voice acting are dope, really builds the atmosphere. I failed so miserably haha. I managed to clutter a small corridor with dead bodies and then I couldn't get past it :P Then I figured out you can drop between other objects.
I think some depth meter or indication would be nice to add to the feeling of progress.
Nice submission, good to see a fellow dodge dropper game out there!
From The Depths: Mining Meets Tower Defense by cdupe 2025-04-09T12:51:56Z ♥ 2
Awesome game!
Things I really liked: - Music was fire π₯ - Artwork was super cute and kept making the cat headbang with the cursor haha - Just the right amount of turrets and mechanics - Upgrade mechanics
Only criticism would be that I felt the gold was a bit too sparse and it made it difficult to keep everything under control and not lose early.
Otherwise a very polished game! Great job :D
Hireblades by quasilyte 2025-04-09T12:15:31Z ♥ 1
Wow really nice game!
It took me a couple of rounds to get a full grasp of most of the mechanics and I kept finding more as I went through.
Some things I would like to see in future versions: * A tutorial level or even just a wall of text with some more in depth explanations besides the screenshots would be nice. (I saw your description here after I played the game once, oopsie) * Soundtrack / more SFX would absolutely elevate the game * Some turn order indication (maybe a highlighted border on who's next) to help strategise more
The artwork and the gameplay has a super old-school vibe which I absolutely love and the gameplay has a lot of depth. I found myself playing for quite longer than I expected! Awesome entry :D
P.S. The menu buttons for credits and settings didn't work for me.
Record Depth by Indiealesha 2025-04-09T11:51:15Z ♥ 1
Wow! Such an awesome game. I found it hilarious from start to end. I'd love to see some post-credit scene because of all the superhero movie references haha. The cartoonish art style made it extra funny too. Very old-school flash game vibes. Awesome entry!
Dysbarism by nathmate 2025-04-09T11:35:18Z ♥ 1
Nice game! I loved the physics implementation. I found it a bit hard to control at times but I think that's pure skill issue :P.
I played this on a higher resolution screen and the video effects didn't render properly most likely due to the resolution as you mentioned in a prior comment which I think took a bit away from the experience and the atmosphere (I could also see the hiding spots of the narwhals haha)
DropDeep by Elian Geser 2025-04-08T11:25:45Z ♥ 2
Very neat! The controls are super smooth. Loved the splats and audio work in general :D I especially liked the multiplier vs speed tradeoff!
We made a dodge dropper too so I'll say you nailed the theme 1000% π
A walk arround the pit with your friendΒ΄s head by Juno Menager 2025-04-08T10:24:46Z ♥ 1
Fun little walk. Very nice writing and lovely atmosphere. The post processing effects add a nice level of polish to it.
The mask guy reminded me of the Skullkid from Zelda.
Cubethulhu by Flying Dog Fish 2025-04-08T09:58:17Z ♥ 2
Fun game! I wish the fire hitbox was bit more forgiving. I kept dying to a fire jump sequence haha
Loved the Cthulhu gulp sounds
Chronicles of Victor by NAKS 2025-04-08T09:53:00Z ♥ 2
Nice game! We also had the concept of going down to hell but different execution.
It felt the difficulty ramped up super quickly and I got a horde of 15 demons destroying me at some point haha.
Nice game, the epic music is also neat. Imagine what this guy would do if he had his glasses.
Into The Depths by SmelJey 2025-04-08T08:40:23Z ♥ 1
Fun game. I like the atmosphere with the low lighting and the chill medieval music. It's got simple mechanics but a lot of gameplay depth. It looks very polished and has a good learning curve too.
I couldn't find a lot of relation to the theme besides the description, though.
Awesome submission!
Ribux - Spelunker delux by daandruff 2025-04-08T08:04:50Z ♥ 1
Very fun game and it feels pretty polished! Awesome aesthetics, uniform color palette and the gameplay was fun enough to keep you engaged for a while. Especially liked the audio :D
Blurred Escape by pizzabudet420 2025-04-08T07:54:32Z ♥ 1
Nice game. I had a thought of doing something with depth of field for the jam but couldn't quite wrap my head around it. Glad to see someone did it!
Nice atmosphere and a fair puzzle to keep you engaged. Idk if it's the font size but some "C"s looke dlike "O"s and it made me think there were typos.
Get to the bottom by jk5000 2025-04-08T07:45:16Z ♥ 2
Chill gaming vibes here. Unfortunately I played this alone :') so I didn't get the full experience haha.
Nice submission!
edit: Would love to see a webGL version. It could be a super cute browser mini game.
Light - Ludum Dare 57 by based.on.life 2025-04-08T07:41:59Z ♥ 2
Awesome game. Great atmosphere too. Found it a bit hard at first because I felt the lights were not being collected. Nice submission!
Super Mecha Diggin Dodge Idle by wheelsx 2025-04-08T07:25:18Z ♥ 2
Lovely game! Congrats on the 11 years :D
The game was plenty fun! I really enjoyed that the pwoerups didn't stop the game but were not intrusive either. I'd also love to have a leaderboard at the end.
The audio at the end game screen kind of glitched and looped which was weird but funny.
Great submission!
Deep Exorcizing: A Poltergeist Cleaning Company by ThomasTournoys 2025-04-08T07:17:00Z ♥ 1
The game is very pretty. The core mechanic is interesting too.
I think it's also very hard since the poltergeist keeps escaping from me :P. Also the dialog boxes are a bit clunky, sometimes I couldn't get them to stop appearing and stopping my movement.
The vibe is very chill and the repeating audio creates a spooky vibe. Cool submission!
into the forest depths by Fliegen 2025-04-08T06:59:53Z ♥ 1
Really pretty artwork and good job designing a game with story progression through multiple encounters (levels).
I'd like to be able see the escape chance since I tried to do a peacful playthrough ahah. Combat was a bit punishing in my case (maybe I was just unlucky) because I kept dealing 2 damage and being dealt 10 every single round :P
I also think music would take this to the next level!
Cool submission!
Deep Chat by iphelf 2025-04-08T06:50:35Z ♥ 2
Awesome minigame! Really unique take on the theme with the core mechanic and the artwork is reallty cute.
I'd love to see a tutorial level that eases you in the mechanic a bit before you play.
Nice submission! :D
Diggy Diggy Shroom by Yatsu 2025-04-08T00:28:51Z ♥ 3
Nice submission! You managed to get a lot of content in despite this being your first jam.
I like the artwork and the controls are pretty smooth too.
Altitudes by PolymathLD 2025-04-07T18:28:24Z ♥ 1
Very cool idea and a great deal of gameplay for a compo game. Some interactions especially on the lower layers could use more polishing but the general aesthetics are very nice!
Hooked by mira 2025-04-07T17:52:19Z ♥ 1
Nice minigame, the core mechancis remind me of dredge / dave the diver.
Nice artwork. I'd love to the difficulty ramping up
Walking Simulator by Tero Pulkkinen 2025-04-07T17:38:03Z ♥ 2
A modern day Sisyphus
The Void by Iluvatar 2025-04-07T17:27:31Z ♥ 3
DUDE! This game slaps so hard :D Awesome sound design, bearutiful graphics and as other people pointed out the point and click adventure nostalgia is definitely there.
Great amount of polish and it also hits my lovecraftian sweet spot!
10/10 submission.
The spaceship crashed. Find the way for the deep dark by SergyKoraduba 2025-04-07T17:17:55Z ♥ 0
Nice premise, I like the character dance animation! Project seems unfinished so I will not leave a rating. Ping me if you update :D
Wrinkles by OadT 2025-04-07T16:12:19Z ♥ 1
Great idea with a nice twist and cool level progression.
I found the dialogues very funny and I think I created a monster during the final level.
Nice submission!
Banished by likoyr 2025-04-07T15:50:20Z ♥ 2
Beautiful art! Really loved the ending concept. Unfortunately godot crashed a couple of times idk why.
We also have the same game idea! Nice :D
Cult of the Whisker by Artel 2025-04-07T15:42:17Z ♥ 1
Great atmosphere, the SFX help a lot. Having a bunch of cultists gang up on you is pretty scary. I'd love to see one or two more levels :D
Combat Wombat by DrGrognak 2025-04-07T15:33:36Z ♥ 1
Fun game! The hitboxes are a bit clunky which has funny results sometimes haha.
Nice submission :D
Platform Fiasko by LastGenPlayer 2025-04-07T15:26:33Z ♥ 0
Nice entry! I got a glithed audio track that kept playing that was pretty annoying after a while. Very nice core mechanic, it reminds me of Fez. Good job :D
Deepsweeper by dan-whiffing 2025-04-07T15:13:50Z ♥ 1
Nice game! Really like the concept of taking a simple classic game and adding a twist.
I found navigation to be a bit hard, especially given how dark the game is. Maybe being able to "automatically" swim instead of using space would help?
I liked the simplistic graphics and maybe I would add some sort of explanation on what counts as adjacency (took me some time to figure out if the diagonal boxes are adjacent or not)
Thanks for the submission, good job!
RepliCore by Nick Halstead 2025-04-07T15:06:05Z ♥ 3
Nice game. I liked the core mechanic and the flash game style aesthetic that came out of the artwork. Good job!
Run For Your Knight by baychowski 2025-04-07T14:58:25Z ♥ 2
Awesome game! Really clever.
I'd really like to have a way to gained back time if you take other pieces. It would add an extra layer where you might take moves backwards in order to capture more.
Thanks for the submission!
Depth to Horizon by YibiRabbit007 2025-04-07T14:49:37Z ♥ 2
Good job on your first entry! Hope you keep 'em coming in the future :D
I feel the game really needs some text or indicator explaining what you are supposed to do. I found it pretty hard given that it gets pretty chaotic at times. I liked the liminal vibes though!
Cadet Mizuno by betovf 2025-04-07T14:44:23Z ♥ 3
I liked the low poly style but I couldn't get past level2 :P.
I think the range on the guards is a bit too punishing (i had the guard taze me from the other end of the room while behind a corner), especially if it can't be blocked by obstacles but maybe I just couldn't solve the puzzle the proper way.
Nice entry, I hope someone helps Mizuno escape because I certainly couldn't :)
Timmy's House by GroseilleDodue 2025-04-07T14:38:52Z ♥ 6
Awesome entry. Loved the aesthetics, the opening cinematic and the sound design.
The AI follow is sometimes too good to escape from so the game is a bit hard until you learn the layout of the map. Also I couldn't see the connection to the theme but maybe I missed something.
Overall great submission :D
Dyamid by leorean 2025-04-07T14:23:03Z ♥ 2
Awesome puzzle game! Amazing that you managed to design this many mechanics in such a short time. I liked the SFX and the music was very nice tool.
Great submussion
Echoes of the deep by BadPinkChicken 2025-04-07T14:15:00Z ♥ 1
Lovely atmosphere, good sounds and the controls were smooth. Nice entry!
Where it Ends by cherrybcake 2025-04-07T14:11:11Z ♥ 2
Very fun game! Amazing first time submission :D.
I found it a bit hard to control the character after a long fall since you couldn't see what was coming at you but I loved the sound and graphics.
Shattered Depths by Sharky3188 2025-04-07T14:08:00Z ♥ 1
Awesome atmosphere! Found it a bit hard to orient and find where I should go after the third level but overall it was very fun.
The "Press LClick to mine" got stuck on my screen so I missed most of the dialogue. The crystal physics were a bit weird too, if you drop them looking down they just dissapear.
Great submission overall!
Minesweeper 3D by LittleGamer 2025-04-07T13:56:09Z ♥ 1
Good stuff! Besides the camera stuff people already mentioned it's a super solid entry with depth of gameplay and a really nice twist on a classic. Good work :D
Depth of your Thoughts by mauzart 2025-04-07T13:26:28Z ♥ 3
Nice job, it's a very good start, you should keep going.
I really liked the mood you created. Music and ambience made it feel nice.
At first I thought I missed an option for an english translation haha. I'd love it if you added english text so we could get the full experience :D
. by protzz 2025-04-07T13:14:27Z ♥ 1
As everyone pointed out the game turned out extremely polished. Good job, loved the atmosphere :D
The Investigator by ImmortalFox 2025-04-07T13:06:51Z ♥ 1
Really nice aesthetic. I felt a bit lost at the begining not understanding that I had to wait for the passage of the day so some sort of guidance (be it written or through indications) would be nice.
Nice submission! :D
