LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deep Sea Whale Mechanic by Jiri_One 2021-04-29T12:47:42Z

This was really well done! One suggestion might be to encourage the player to explore a bit more rather than having enemies constantly spawning around the merchant, as you can just stay there and get more powerful.

The atmosphere was really cool in this, and I loved how much work you put into the graphics, I like the style of them. I also had the same issues as others with the web version cutting off part of the dialogue.

This was fun! Having to alternate between "melee" and "ranged" attacks gave this some more depth (no pun intended..) and the music was great,

Dead Orbit by Wargon 2021-05-03T09:12:06Z

I really liked the atmosphere of this one, and nice effects with the weapons and power ups. Good job!

A few issues with the web build: - The music was waaaaaay too loud, when I first loaded it up I was almost deafened, and my OS volume is pretty low. - I ran into this after a while each time I played so I couldn't progress too far: error.PNG

Really great atmosphere you managed to capture with this, the sound and graphics were awesome! It was a little confusing at times where you were supposed to go, but otherwise really nice entry.

This was really funny, I loved all the singing sound effects. Great to see another musical entry!

Deep Driller by toby1645 2021-04-26T06:13:11Z

This was a nice concept encountering new enemies as you get deeper, and well polished with the death animations and projectiles to dodge - something I ran out of time to add myself! I was missing some kind of background music but otherwise fun!

This was really fun, simple but clever puzzles on each screen and nice pacing with introducing new mechanics over time. Great job!

I like the idea, but I unfortunately wasn't able to get too far as I couldn't for the life of me figure out what or where the magic pearls are, but that might well be user error. Good job though!

Really interesting idea! I really loved your somewhat abstract parallax backgrounds too, they really added to the mood of this weird world that falls apart.

Deep Memory by Gastoon 2021-04-26T09:10:22Z

An interesting concept, I like the minimal art style, it fits the mood well. I got stuck at one point and couldn't find any way to progress despite a lot of clicking, and I think some background audio of some kind to help create that trapped in a hospital atmosphere would be a nice addition, but overall good job!

Cyber Runner by jj2oo2 2021-04-26T17:46:46Z

I enjoyed the visuals but it was unfortunately very difficult to aim accurately - shooting towards the mouse as another commenter has suggested would have perhaps helped the gameplay there. I also had no audio, unsure if that's a bug?

The Final Journey by kernon 2021-04-26T14:11:24Z

One of my favourites so far, you really captured the mood here as others have mentioned. I love the attention to detail you put into it with the different lights, the air bubbles escaping etc. Very memorable!

Canyoneer by Kieron Woodhouse 2021-04-26T10:59:43Z

I had fun with this, though it took a moment to understand that I needed to move "down" the rope even if I was standing on a platform and would move to the right or left a bit first. I loved the graphic style you came up with and the slightly shifting textures. Nice job!

Deep Diver! by AlexanderZone 2021-04-26T06:37:28Z

I love the aesthetic and the graphics of this! Really charming little game. I found it quite difficult at first but soon got the hang of it.

Once or a twice I had a disagreement with a rock and couldn't move, but a minor issue! bug.PNG

The Frozen Depths by Chromaful 2021-04-27T07:17:59Z

Really cool idea with collecting the upgrades and going deeper. The background humming noise was a bit too loud, and I felt it was a little too easy to get disorientated and finding which direction the surface is in because of the screen rotation, maybe a little indicator could help with that? But overall great job!

Surface by fizzbark 2021-04-26T10:46:17Z

This was really fun! Getting the unlocks by going deeper to be able to work your way back up was a great idea. The jumping was a little "floaty" which made some of the jumps a bit tricky. Overall an awesome job!
