LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Midniight by Ace17 2021-04-26T17:24:19Z

This is really good! I loved the overall atmosphere and the art style was really nice.

Square Diver by FussenKuh 2021-04-26T18:03:24Z

Incredibly good game feel, this was really fun. Music is nice and the "pop" is really satisfying. The trail behind the character is a nice touch, and being able to see your past death spots was SUCH a good idea! Loved this one a lot.

Kicks'n'Relics by Valden 2021-04-27T00:27:19Z

Great art, great music, the game plays great, hitting enemies is really satisfying. Loved everything about this.

Penguins can't fly by Attala 2021-04-26T17:58:42Z

This is really fun and the graphics are really great

Deeper Daddy by AguaHervida 2021-04-27T00:43:22Z

This is a really cute game, I love the 2D sprites in the 3D environment, it looks really great.

Tap Trick by Salman_Shh 2021-04-27T19:14:25Z

Really fun and I love the art a lot!

Super Mole Bro by simon.parzer 2021-04-27T00:22:28Z

Great game feel, I really like how fast movement/actions are. Really fun game.

Surface Level by DecadeDecaf 2021-04-26T17:27:09Z

This was a brilliant way to interpret the theme and was very executed. Has a lot of charm with very enjoyable characters, I had a smile on my face the entire time.

The Deepest SEAcret by Kaurbot 2021-04-26T17:42:15Z

The art is all very nice, gameplay is simple but pretty fun and works well

6 Feet Under by theStoff 2021-04-27T16:53:44Z

This is cool, I like the mechanics and the concept was really creative!

Into The Depths by Nisovin 2021-04-26T18:42:15Z

The mechanics are really cool and upgrade system is a wonderful addition

Lucky Lefty Loves Leftovers by TheBookSnail 2021-04-27T01:11:42Z

Really fun and satisfying controls. Art was really nice and the little squeaks were a nice touch

The Depths (Ultimate Edition XXI) by sacredbacon 2021-04-26T18:30:58Z

Camera made it a little difficult, but controlled very well and was really fun. I liked the art style a lot and the enemies all looked especially cool

Wilford - Deep Underground by BattleCat 2021-04-27T00:01:59Z

This was really fun, graphics and music were really nice as well

Pescuit Pe Plajă by Trexxak 2021-04-26T23:55:58Z

I love the art style! The objects and environments all look so lovely

BugDive by Tad I Guess 2021-04-26T18:07:01Z

@corruptedcomputer The button is actually the little bug below where it says play

BugDive by Tad I Guess 2021-04-27T02:25:55Z

@hotpaw Thank you! Yeah I wish it could've been a bit longer, it is pretty short. Would love to make an extended version in the future!

@attala Thank you so much! I agree, towards the end it can get a little dizzy, especially if you wait around on the stage long enough for everything to really start speeding up. The reset stage button was one of the last things I added when I realized I should probably fix that haha.

@poroporo-su Thanks!! The crystal one was one of my favorites as well!

@esosek Thank you! Those sound effects were especially fun to make!

@sacredbacon Thank you so much! The gallery was actually a last minute addition, I'm really happy I ended up having just enough time to put that in!

@styrofoamwaffle Thanks!! I wish I had the chance to add levels too, or maybe an optional stage select. Maybe in a future extended version if I end up making one.

BugDive by Tad I Guess 2021-05-06T14:57:58Z

@molpe Thank you! The bugs were supposed to keep moving faster, but on the blue level especially it's a bit much haha. I didn't have time to adjust it, so I added the reset button last minute to restart the stage and slow them down again. Thanks for doing a video on this, being able to see other people play it has been really helpful for finding stuff I could change for a fixed version.

Falling Rock by snip_man 2021-04-27T18:51:56Z

This was a whole lot of fun, controls felt really nice!

Penguin Run by Nurav 2021-04-27T00:58:12Z

Sliding up the curved walls is really fun and having to feed the penguin is a cool mechanic. This is a very fun penguin game (:

faller by pokegamer1420 2021-04-26T18:27:22Z

Really fun game. My only slight criticism is that the retry button didn't work, I had to close and reopen the game to keep playing again.

I'm 14 and by Krac3r 2021-04-27T00:04:43Z

This was a really fun and creative take on the theme

Jump & Run by mortalslayer24 2021-04-26T18:16:39Z

I wish the camera was slightly further out so it was a little easier to see obstacles on some of the jumps, but otherwise this was a fun time!

Into the Mines by SneakyLunatic69 2021-04-27T02:32:10Z

Great music, great visuals, fun gameplay. Loved it.

Deep Dig Pizza by Brandon Garcia 2021-04-27T02:13:26Z

Such a wonderfully creative concept! Visuals are fantastic and the game plays great, love this one!

Down the Block by Spiderbat2089 2021-04-27T18:48:25Z

I wish it was a little easier to see what's ahead of you, some of the blind jumps were tough. Aside from that, this was a lot of fun and the controls felt really nice.

Digmon by ErkaNec 2021-04-26T17:51:15Z

Art style is really good, I love that each level has its own unique graphics and music, it's a nice touch. Really solid game, I had a lot of fun with this one!

Into The Deep by BirdBrain Studios 2021-04-27T00:18:12Z

Great game, this was a lot of fun!

Hyperspace Narwhale by styrofoamwaffle 2021-04-27T00:54:34Z

This is great fun, the art is really good, the whole theming is fantastic. This is a very quality space narwhale game!

funny slug game by programming_sock 2021-04-27T00:07:26Z

The art looks so good, this was a really cute game!

GO TO HELL by Pinho13 2021-04-26T18:11:23Z

Love the interpretation of the theme, this was a really fun concept

Greg's Little Adventure by Jfroggg 2021-05-14T17:02:55Z

This is really cool, I like Greg!

Potato Pandemonium by SugarSugarSugar 2021-04-26T18:38:24Z

The art style was great, I loved the overall sense of humor, the music was wonderful, and gameplay was really fun. This is one of the best potato games I've ever played.

shroomfall by Hydrothermal 2021-04-26T18:45:46Z

I really love the art style, suits the game perfectly. Gameplay is really fun, I liked this a lot!

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Leapo Froggo by zwartraider 2024-10-07T14:13:29Z

Very cool little frog game! The leaderboard was a really nice inclusion.

Badabees by tanis 2024-10-08T21:32:10Z

Awesome concept! Really love all the sounds. Tricky to get the hang of, memorizing the patterns is tough, but fun with a bit of practice. Leaderboard was a nice addition, I got to number 4.

Beetle with a Mixtape by nanolotl 2024-10-07T04:24:36Z

Wow this rules actually. Really level layout and the multiple characters with their abilities are all very fun! I do think audio would have really strengthened the mood, but as far as pure gameplay goes this is fantastic.

Fish Thingy by Steffo 2024-10-06T23:40:59Z

Made it 3 and a half minutes before all but one of my fish tragically passed away. A bunch of my fish swam off screen and so couldn't save them, but this was pretty neat! I like the fish!

Tiny Tribe by silkworm_sweatshop 2024-10-09T23:49:24Z

I accidentally punched a creature and it made a sad face at me, 10/10. This is super cute, love the art style.

Spoders Run by wupi 2024-10-07T15:50:42Z

Fun little game, I love the Spoders. Some audio would've gone a long way, but this is pretty neat!

Tiny followers by PatBGames 2024-10-08T21:44:40Z

A little tricky to get them in precise spots, but this was pretty fun! I do wish there was some sound though.

Tinyzilla by Bernhard 2024-10-07T01:53:54Z

This is REALLY neat. Such a fun idea to collect little guys who follow you, and I love the strategy and combat with the spiders. Very nice!

TiNY's GardEEn by ROBOWARRIOR1982 2024-10-08T22:41:57Z

This is super cute! I love the art and the little guys, I was so surprised when I saw one getting dragged away by a bush in the background!

Bee-Gone! by Attala 2024-10-07T00:05:02Z

This is really cool! Looks nice, camera controls are great, and I love the voice lines. Concept is really funny, I liked this.

Hungry Hungry Frog by TheWustache 2024-10-07T01:29:06Z

I have successfully fed this little frog. Took me a minute to figure out what was happening, but this was neat! Love the sounds and the frog looks very awesome.

Snail away by Thomas_Bringer 2024-10-08T15:36:43Z

Wow this is really impressive! Feels great to control, very nice art, and I love all the sounds. Super cool, well done!

Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-07T16:00:16Z

Wow this is so cool! The art's fantastic, I haven't seen a lot of LD games that look like this so it really stands apart. Gameplay is simple and fun, each level feels different from the last. Maybe some sound effects would've been nice, but this was awesome, really well done.

Kopeng run! by OwlyCode 2024-10-07T00:57:18Z

Awesome game, I love the little guys.

Beachfront by DecadeDecaf 2024-10-07T00:49:29Z

Awesome game, Texas the alien is my friend.

Immune Defense by fnelix 2024-10-08T22:25:10Z

Really fun! Love the designs and functionalities of the units, Buddy B. was my favorite. The sound design is really great too, all the little coughs were an excellent detail.

Mouse Mouse by AploveStudio 2024-10-09T23:57:12Z

A little hard to control with how fast you move, but otherwise this was really cool. The sound effects were good, I really felt the punch when I hit a bug. A lot of little details were nice too, bouncing off the mousetrap changing the character's expression, this was fun!

FlyFrog by Nicolas Diniz 2024-10-08T21:26:38Z

Love the character design and the controls feel really good! Would love to see this updated with more background details and audio. Awesome game, awesome frog guy.

Racoon Romance by BangKerpow 2024-10-07T16:15:41Z

Really fun and cute! I like the gameplay and art a lot. I thought the text was a bit difficult to read, and the dialogue during the story bits were very quiet compared to the other sounds in the game, but had fun with this overall!

Last Rollbug by Tad I Guess 2024-10-08T19:19:59Z

@tuism Thanks for the feedback! Definitely a few bugs to iron out post-jam, will for sure make the character turn around when facing directions, was very short on time and ended up forgetting about that. Oops!

@ramchops-games Thanks for the notes! The chaotic end music is a running joke where all of my games end with the worst songs possible, but for sure feels very out of place in this one haha.

@nazariglez Thank you very much for the kind words! Would love to do more with the charge mechanic in a later update.

@sdcorpse Yes, there is a note at the top of the page about this known issue. If you sit on the first level for too long, an object that I accidentally left in the room causes this, I didn't realize it until about 30 minutes after the deadline ended. It's the first thing I plan to fix post jam.

@satless Thank you! The art is the area I spent the most time on, so I really appreciate that.

@flewbimo Thanks! Yeah the error at the start is an object left in the first level accidentally that crashes if you sit on it for too long, I plan to fix this after the LD ends. I also think the rollbug is adorable, just a silly little guy.

Last Rollbug by Tad I Guess 2024-10-10T00:03:01Z

@frostblooded Wow, thank you for such high praise! I'm glad you liked it, I was really happy with how it came out.

@stmate03 Thanks! The controls gave me trouble while playtesting at first too lol, I wasn't really sure it would work. After playing through and speedrunning a few times it started to click for me (deeeeeefinitely could use a little work still though!

@ellaris Thanks for the feedback! Completely agree that in a couple of those stages it can be annoying going too high and ending up out of bounds. If I expand on this later I think I'd like to have a camera and larger levels so you don't have to worry about that so much.

Shrimp Tank Simulator by Harmadillo 2024-10-08T17:26:42Z

This is awesome I love the shrimp. Magnify was a great inclusion, very cool to zoom in on all of my little guys.

PogoCombo by Mavvy 2024-10-09T17:10:49Z

Wow this is great! A ton of fun with incredible presentation. Love the art, the character designs are all really good, even down to the numbers popping out when you're score is increasing, so many good details. Music is awesome as well, this is really well put together.

Pusherfish by galactical 2024-10-08T22:48:16Z

This is a great concept, blowing up is a cool mechanic that makes for some really fun and tricky levels!

Gob by rickylee 2024-10-10T03:58:25Z

Ate everything in 5:34. This is extremely fun and satisfying, I love being able to eat bigger and bigger things until Gob consumes the world. 10/10 would die for Gob, a remarkable being.

Eater Scrutiny by knexator 2024-10-08T22:50:25Z

Fun gameplay idea and great take on the theme! I think some sound would've added a lot.

ConquerAnts by Pierre-Marie 2024-10-08T19:23:42Z

The music is really nice and the giant buff ants are very awesome.

tiny-ink by nicole_a 2024-10-08T21:41:06Z

This was really neat! I love the presentation, it makes for a very relaxing vibe, though I wish the music was maybe a little louder. The little guys are very cute! You also fall to the ground very slowly and kinda fly around, but I actually had fun with that too, seeing how high I could go. This was a good time.

The Immortals Snails by Dianavi 2024-10-10T01:08:15Z

Absolutely incredible concept for a game. The first couple speech bubbles I encounter were upside down, that was a bit confusing for a moment, but really fun and really funny game!

the Last Leukocyte by bad_fetus 2024-10-07T04:12:22Z

This is a lot of fun! Very simple concept, but the upgrades and being able to choose really elevates it and adds a lot of replay value.

Stompy by CosmogonicFrog 2024-10-09T23:51:57Z

Wow the controls are really neat, this was a really cool concept!

Slingshot Delivery by i_cam 2024-10-08T21:35:48Z

Really satisfying to zoom across space so quickly, had a lot of fun just flying around (the little guy is also very awesome.

Frogi by JEMH2K 2024-10-07T04:17:12Z

Very nice! Really love the art, and the sounds come together to give it a nice mood.

Tiny Ghost Creator by LyaMgtt 2024-10-07T04:35:39Z

Adorable game, LOVE the art so much. As many have said, some sort of export might be nice. Would also be cool to see setting customization with changing backgrounds. But as is this was super cute and a lot of fun, here's my creation: cute ghost.png

Stacking Zoo by j3m 2024-10-08T21:49:19Z

This is a really nice & challenging little puzzle game! Love the art, the crocodile is my favorite.

Annihilation of Tiny Strugglers by XSiL 2024-10-07T01:47:48Z

Controls were a little difficult for me, but I really enjoyed the art and this take on the theme!

Little Guys! by RamChops Games 2024-10-07T01:41:55Z

Big fan of these little guys. Gameplay is a lot of fun and I love the overall vibe. The moving background with the little icons of the little guys was an especially nice detail.

Snail Typing by SatLess 2024-10-07T16:06:44Z

Very fun! I agree with some of the other comments that background music might've been nice, but that crunch sound when you get a letter is really satisfying on its own.

Gnaw More! by 1finiteloop 2024-10-07T14:06:58Z

This is a really fun idea! Concept is great and game plays well, would love to see this expanded into something bigger, this is very cool.

LD57 — Depths

Depthninja by headchant 2025-04-17T18:06:46Z

Very cool and very responsive! Gets difficult quickly, but fun with a bit of practice.

It's buggin' me by A.Bond 2025-04-16T13:51:58Z

Like you said, not really a game, but this is still really cool and extremely well animated. Would love to see this simple idea expanded on into a full game.

Down Golf by chuckeles 2025-04-10T14:34:33Z

Got the ball stuck on a spring eventually, but this was a ton of fun! The golfing mechanics were all great and mixing them with some light platforming turned out really cool. Nice presentation, I love the silly sound effects, I really enjoyed this!

Selective Drilling by Xwilarg 2025-04-08T15:08:35Z

Pretty fun! Starts out slow, but gets to be pretty cool once you start getting the upgrades and the gameplay starts to shine. My only slight negative is the sound for the drill, it's pretty loud and once you get the upgrades to use it faster it starts to be a little annoying. Fun game overall though.

2.5 Depth by Jeffez 2025-04-09T16:27:35Z

This is one of the coolest takes on the theme I've seen, really love the creativity.

Drilly's Journey by Alex Davies 2025-04-10T14:40:59Z

This is a really cool concept! I love the central mechanic, there were a couple of spots where I got stuck in a loop, I maybe with there was a way to hop out without going to high up/down and continuing to dig past the area you were trying to go, but it is a ton of fun and I especially love bouncing off of the metal bits. Music would've gone a long way, but the sound effects are nice. Graphics are great I love Drilly (awesome guy.

A knight and his well by Attala 2025-04-08T14:55:52Z

This was really fun! I ended up not really using the regular attack, I found the air attack a lot more fun and satisfying to use. I wish the camera was a little faster maybe, there were a few spots where I had to either make a blind jump or sit until the camera caught up. Cool music, big fan of the sound effects too. Overall, enjoyed this quite a bit!

Continental Shelf by cassowary 2025-04-16T02:13:31Z

I love slider puzzles! This is super cute, graphics and sound are lovely and some really challenging puzzles!

Super Deep Breath by NoodleMaster 2025-04-08T15:11:54Z

I think this is my favorite take on the theme I've seen, really big fan of the presentation as well.

Shafted by DecadeDecaf 2025-04-07T17:17:54Z

This is awesome and really addicting. Super satisfying hitting a chain and bouncing multiple gold pieces, especially when you get more and more pickaxes. I would play an expanded version of this for an unhealthy amount of time. You also seriously cooked with the music, really really good stuff. Extremely fun, I wish I could through pickaxes at rich people in real life.

Consumed by BangKerpow 2025-04-16T01:57:29Z

Oh, this is a really cool puzzle game! The whole aesthetic is really awesome too, I enjoyed this a lot!

Deep Fishing by SharpLoaded 2025-04-07T17:30:00Z

This is really nice! I love how many different upgrades there are (I went for maxed out extra harpoons first, that was pretty fun. I wish there was maybe some music, but visuals are really nice, I liked this quite a bit.

FEARFISHING by tive 2025-04-16T02:02:54Z

This is awesome! Controls were really good and satisfying, the art style works really well, the ominous sounds are great, I really enjoyed this.

Torpor by Blues 2025-04-16T13:55:29Z

I had a bit of trouble trying to control where the pills were going, especially with them bouncing off of each other and the brains, but this was pretty fun!

Depths Sickness by Nilan 2025-04-16T13:49:29Z

This is a really cool concept, I really love the movement and screen flipping. Some sounds would've gone a long way, but still enjoyed the gameplay. Also very funny that you can fly off into space and die.

Descent by Subsolar 2025-04-07T04:18:59Z

Really cool how this is split into two different genres and feels pretty natural. Both parts of the game are really fun to, the platforming feels especially nice (I will adore any platformer that gives me a glide. Nice visuals, great sound, I love that impactful crunch when you die. Really awesome, I like this a lot!

Interstellar Dragon - Into the depths... of space! by Camer the Dragon 2025-04-07T17:13:06Z

A very cool and relaxing little game, feels nice to control, and really nice art! Death sound jumpscared me a bit but made me laugh.

Depths of the Deity by LukyStudios 2025-04-16T01:47:35Z

Pretty cool, especially for only 12 hours! Moving off screen to get to the other side was really neat, reminded me of Kid Icarus. The gameplay is solid, but took some time to figure out. I wish the music was a loop, but the death sound was very funny.

Star in The Core by Follusior 2025-04-07T17:38:04Z

I love this smiling star creature they make me so happy. I even love these ghouls and the disgusting sounds they make, adds to the off putting music. Had a smile on my face from start to finish, loved everything about this.
