LD48 — Deeper and deeper (25)

20.000 LIGHT YEARS deep in THE SKY by Arivenzys 2021-04-29T09:48:42Z ♥ 3

It's incredible that all that gorgeous artwork was produced in just one weekend. Outstanding!

Deeper and Deeper- A drop's journey by Tankou 2021-04-29T09:34:54Z ♥ 2

Cute little game, and fun to play. I think I would have preferred it if you could also move up and down, as sometimes the bugs would be over the droplets making it impossible to pick them up without getting hit. Good work!

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-04-29T09:16:50Z ♥ 1

So many fun little details. Absolutely brilliant concept and stupid graphics in the best possible way. Love it.

Soaring Under by jitspoe 2021-04-28T20:41:20Z ♥ 3

Ahh, I'm so bad at this! I love the little duck quack as it hits the wall. It's soothing while you fly but I can't fly too long. I'm clearly doing something wrong though based on other people's feedback. Good job on the environment and music, they're super lovely and work really well together.

Deep Dive by Soyeahimjames 2021-04-27T19:47:01Z ♥ 1

The controls felt a little bit... floaty... 😁

It was a nice and fun game, although I felt like I needed a bit more direction of where to go other than just down. Also those are some pretty hostile fish! Kudos on your first game, good job!

Into The Depths by Jason Wilson 2021-04-27T15:58:16Z ♥ 1

I also thought that you had to keep going down all the time. The first time I didn't see the shop, and then the second time I noticed that I could buy new equipment so I thought that I could keep upgrading every time I died. Then I lost 4k gold and realised that you couldn't 😬

It's a pretty fun game, and I really love the design of the squids. I felt that returning to the surface to buy equipment felt a bit more of a chore though, since I was losing progress to upgrade. The upgrade system and the shop were nicely done though.

Mineshaft by ditam 2021-04-27T15:43:45Z ♥ 2

I had a lot of fun playing this. I thought it was a neat concept of digging through a deck of cards, and really well executed. I'm impressed that you added an opponent to it. The rules felt interesting enough to keep playing for a second time. Great work!

Blue Square and the Mystery Cave by asdehielo 2021-04-27T14:14:43Z ♥ 1

This was the most fun game that I've played so far. I felt like the puzzles were well made and with a nice flow. And a nice little twist in the ending! No spoilers but ahh, that made me feel differently about the game after. Very well done.

Also I noticed that the door noise blew out a bit. I'm not sure how to describe it as I'm new to playing with sound effects as well. It just sounded a bit off to me.

Embark by Pseudohausen 2021-04-27T10:27:27Z ♥ 1

The music is calming and I like the concept and simple art style. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not really experienced in idle games, but I'm really not sure what I should be doing in this game. Are coins and dust the same thing?

Deep in the Graveyard by AndyKSWong 2021-04-27T08:09:30Z ♥ 1

Ah, I think I'm a bit too dumb for this game. I'm struggling to get past the specters, and even the zombies kill me most of the time. The music is ok but I wish there was some way to disable it after a while. I like the minimalist style and it's a nice concept using chess moves. Also great that this was made in three.js! Kudos!

Subterplane by Bigbadbison 2021-04-27T07:54:03Z ♥ 1

It was a nice touch not removing the crashed planes, it made it fun flying past them and knowing that I had made it further than before. The controls were tricky but I think that's the part of the gameplay for games like this. It was also good to see the lights of the plane switch on as it got darker. So a few really fun details. Good work!

Swing Shroom by Quite Good 2021-04-27T07:40:36Z ♥ 1

I think the mushroom puns made this worth playing just by themselves 😁 I love the aesthetic and thought the characters were super cute. I think I would have preferred it if the rope fired all the time instead of just at the wall. I thought it wasn't working to begin with until I figured it was only at certain points. I also got a bit lost in the level, but I had fun. Nice work 🙂

Cave Runner by Sir. Syko 2021-04-26T11:06:32Z ♥ 2

Nice simple game. One of those ones where I'm finding myself still playing after I should have stopped :D

Good work.

Stairwell by GiovanniBarrottu 2021-04-26T11:00:26Z ♥ 1

The stairs gives it a really unique look. I would have preferred to have the buttons be tied to keys, and not having to click the green box would have made it a little bit more fun for me. I like the concept of fighting on a spiral staircase though, made me think of a swashbuckling fight sequence. Good job.

The Depths (Ultimate Edition XXI) by sacredbacon 2021-04-26T10:53:36Z ♥ 3

The camera is the true enemy! I found it entertaining but a little bit frustrating. It was definitely a challenge. I liked the level design and the style. I learnt to truly wince whenever I heard the chomp sound. Good job!

Lowestop by Popolon 2021-04-26T10:48:05Z ♥ 0

I can't figure out what to do. The screen says press key to start but nothing is working.

The Botanist by Tezza48 2021-04-26T10:45:19Z ♥ 1

I was pretty confused at first, and to be honest I was still confused until I won. I would have liked a little bit more information about what I was supposed to be doing.

The art style was super nice, and I loved the look of the giant crab. Good work :)

Under Pressure by OadT 2021-04-26T10:29:17Z ♥ 2

Ahhh, I love it but I have no idea what I'm doing! Is there a way to rotate the pieces? Also the initial resolution is a bit too small, and I'm on an ultrawide so full-screen isn't really great either o.O

Great job, I love the chaos.

Dyb by Ratrat44 2021-04-26T10:06:35Z ♥ 1

It's a really cute game and quite entertaining. I like the hiding mechanic, although, like other people, I got stuck when the enemies kept killing me on the spawn point. I also thought the plants were dangerous at first. Well done :)

Deep way down by Martynas 2021-04-26T08:25:47Z ♥ 2

That was so simple yet so poignant. I love how the mechanics tied up to the stages of grief. That really gave me the feels. Well done!

Deep Sleep - The Sandman by VeryGenuineCraze 2021-04-26T08:14:21Z ♥ 1

I really liked what you did with the theme, and the sound design made me laugh. Fun little game to play, although I think I would have preferred to have levels or some sort of progress / difficulty ramp.

Good job!

Run little one, run by Para_no_ 2021-04-26T07:14:14Z ♥ 3

It was nice and fun, and definitely challenging. The controls felt really floaty though. I would have preferred a much lower mouse(rat?) sensitivity. The scientist catching me made me jump almost every time!

Good job and congrats on your first jam!

Worm Excavation League by HacksawUnit 2021-04-26T07:06:49Z ♥ 1

Makes me wish I had a friend to play with o.O

It was really satisfying breaking the rocks, and the little worm's expressions are cute as heck. Good job!

Love Under the Robot Junkyard by frogmen 2021-04-26T06:59:02Z ♥ 3

That was a nice little game :)

It took me a little while to realise that my battery was running out in real time and that it was a race against time rather than a puzzle. I love the mood and music, and the graphic design is super neat.

Deep Golf by dmdmdmdm 2021-04-26T06:50:31Z ♥ 1

I liked the moody music. I didn't know where I was supposed to be heading for, so some sort of target marker would be nice. Also I couldn't figure out if there was a way to turn the camera, so I couldn't go backwards or to the side.
