ØJE by Gaming Night 2019-10-09T10:59:42Z

Amazing! Simple, nice and relaxing. Wish more levels

LD46 — Keep it alive

MegaCorn - Strategy / Economy Simulator by KittRangers 2020-04-21T17:30:13Z

Despotism detected! ;)

Style and setting is great! Can't wait for a steam-harvesters!

Scavenger by TentacleMax 2020-04-21T16:26:26Z

Broken clicks is a known problem, we are working on it. The fix should be ready today

UPD: Fixed

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Blue Submarine by Patomkin 2021-04-27T17:37:59Z

nice concept, great idea to make a card-like endless-runner!

Descending by khofez 2021-04-27T20:25:38Z

Great job, awesome game!

Morning Shift by Iluvatar 2021-04-27T18:27:24Z

Oh my god, it's great art! And great game. A bit short, but it's jam, so it's ok. I definitely want to see what happens next! Story and graphics are awesome! Just like I'm kid again playing all that old adventures! Just let us know if you gonna continue this game!

Fallen Shovel by silkworm_sweatshop 2021-04-29T14:41:10Z

wow! it's really hard! Couldn't beat Greed. Very nice game, a lot of fun!

The Deep Inferno by neonian 2021-04-27T17:47:37Z

Untitled.png Pretty easy to win, anyway cool art style, atmosphere and concept!

Bioluminescence by loveapplegames 2021-05-17T22:32:56Z

Wow! Very nice game! Idea is so fresh! (at least I never seen anything like that before) Very enjoyable!

Deepest Sword by Strega 2021-04-27T00:31:58Z

Wow! Awesome game!!!! Cool concept, nice graphics, definitely 5 stars!

The Fool's Descent by NicMagnier 2021-05-01T17:31:00Z

very fun game! It wasn't really clear that I can press and hold fire (instead of just click), but I tried and it works!

Deep into the space by Vodzik 2021-05-17T22:18:30Z

Nice feel of deep space, really enjoyable

Deep Mining Cookie Clicker by tiffi_gaming 2021-05-14T21:55:30Z

Wow, clicker! Thanks, that was fun!

Grotto Down by xtacobaco 2021-04-27T20:42:33Z

Damn addictive game. Nice job!

Astronomical Assault by Anuke 2021-04-29T14:22:19Z

Such simple but such fun!!! Btw, is main hero a frog or a dinosaur? (I wish it's a tiny t-rex)

Going Down by omer1615 2021-04-29T17:12:44Z

Damn! I can't beat last level! Can you help me? I'm really interested what boss gonna say next! (it's not a game, it's my life!)

Oh, music and sounds are great!

Hellscape by ToxicComputer 2021-05-11T20:37:20Z

Pretty fun

The Forgotten Halls by vfqd 2021-04-27T20:27:21Z

Feels very great!

Depravity by Shone 2021-05-14T21:53:22Z

Atmosphere is great, thank you! Nice game

Make A Wish by J0ye 2021-05-12T15:16:38Z

It's hard to see a coin sometimes because it's pretty dark down there. But the idea is nice. I imagine this game as a sort of hypercasual mobile game.

Probably cartoony visual style would be better for such simple gameplay. Anyway it's playable and fun, great job!

Forbidden crystal by hexkritor 2021-05-04T19:53:33Z

Отличный визуал, неплохой платформинг. Есть немного шероховатостей, но тем не менее все равно очень круто!

Re:Ship by thevinter 2021-05-15T00:25:05Z

It reminds me rimworld, space haven and ftl, I love this type of games. Great atmosphere, music and visual are nice too. I've died few times for unknown reason, but it was very fun anyway. I hope you'll finish this game later, it would be nice to play something like that in underwater post-apocalyptical setting =) Great job!

The Bonekest Dungeon by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2021-04-27T00:30:35Z

Давно не видел игры, где надо запоминать карту в голове. Час блуждал по лабиринту =)

Drill City by honzapat 2021-04-28T05:15:45Z

great game!

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-04-27T00:42:22Z

@dante2001 thank you for a feedback, we'll try to fix it for different resolutions

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-04-27T00:43:45Z

@diabolical-sloth we had plans to integrate theme much deeper into gameplay and visuals, but time was against us =)

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-04-27T19:44:29Z

@snonk thank you 😊

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-04-29T16:32:00Z

@fearawl можно и залипнуть. Я сам, например, экспериментировал с прохождением только на одном типе юнитив. Правда смог пройти только на войнах и только на стрелках, если играть чисто на магах, то 1 маг не проходит первый уровень, и ресурсы не фармятся =(

You could stick in actually. For example I've tried to beat the game using one unit type only. It worked fine for sworsmans and gunners but didn't work for wizards because 1 wizard can't pass level one and farm enough resources to buy another one =(

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-04-29T16:35:46Z

@silkworm-sweatshop yeah, I miss the sounds too. But as I said earlier our composer couldn't join us and I didn't want to take sound assets (and haven't enough time for this actually)

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-01T16:55:40Z

@xpoho там же написано, на яндекс.музыке, в спотифае или ВК просто найти Nuclear Mushroom Boom. Это он =) Приятного прослушивания

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-01T16:58:02Z

@scrawach Cultists want more torture and terror to humanity than Soton does... It is not really clear, but let us say it's a cult's secret ;)

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-01T16:58:33Z

@dyp54 @mololo thanks for your kind words!

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-01T17:01:26Z

@dante2001 resolution bug is fixed (should be) So you can try it now, and it would be great if you told us is it really fixed. we couldn't test it properly =|

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-04T16:36:19Z

@jarnero - "Когда больше 300 юнитов на карте- игра вылетает." видимо, зависит от тачки. Я доводил до ~500, потом просто лень становилось. - "Играл в версию с итча." - в какую из них? если с индикаторского, то там куча проблем, ага, тут они полечены. Если уже в версию для этого лудума - ну да, проблемы тоже есть =)

- "Бесит, что юниты дальнего боя стоят на месте, а мечники сваливают. По идее им нужно держать оборону вокруг портала, нет?" Вообще да, но... нет =/

- "Ужасно бесит, когда мечники убегают за экран и где-то там умирают. Очень не хватает возможности двигать камерой." а вот это странно, такого не должно быть (хотя опять же, полечено только в весии для общего лудума. мы там в последние 3 часа багов 10 пофиксили как минимум)

- "РАЗЛОЧЬТЕ КАМЕРУ, вашу то мышь!" Нет!

- "но ещё разочаровало, что маги имбалансны" - полечено

- "ресурсов очень много" - очень сильно полечено

- "и иногда лвл заканчивается раньше, чем ты успеваешь добить всех врагов." - по идее тоже полечено

- "Остается ощущение незаслуженности награды." полечено с остальным балансом

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-04T19:38:38Z

@jarnero "Зачем заводить несколько страниц на итче? Это путает…"

А зачем делать как бы два джема? Это путает =)

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-14T19:30:17Z

@nonumbersgames thank you for your feedback. Probably we'll finish this game to steam release. At least we'll try. So your suggestion about "last man stand" mode have a chance to be implemented =)

Death Cult by TentacleMax 2021-05-18T21:03:07Z

@someone tutorial disappeared by pressing TAB or click somewhere, so probably it was an accident click. Or there is a possibility of bug =) Btw, tutorial could be turned on/off by pressing TAB ;)

We'll look forward to deliver more meaningful choices to the player.

@adnonymous5 And we'll expand the main story and make it more varied and more challengeable. And add an endless mode too.

Thank you for your feedback!

Muggy Lake by Bossus 2021-05-11T20:02:26Z

It was pretty scary but fun And very atmospheric! Darkness and music makes me believe that there is a real fog around me

The Bothnia Trench by Milestone Games 2021-04-27T20:36:27Z

Nice atmosphere! I love adventures, and your is pretty cool

I Would Like To Check Out of This Hotel by poboy 2021-04-29T14:51:54Z

Omg I live this game! The plot, the characters.. So funny!!!!!! Crows are most annoying, but the hotel manager!!! Laugh a lot!

TAILSPIN! by Saturnyoshi 2021-04-27T18:37:06Z

Amazing game! Thank you!

Quantum Genesis Hyperspeed Space Redux by Tim Leach 2021-04-27T00:37:34Z

Nice game, товарищ =)

Blackout by Frasse 2021-05-11T20:27:28Z

Fantastic art, very fun story, good music! Great atmosphere! It was really fun adventure!

Keyboard to the Depths by QYOUK 2021-05-14T14:23:23Z

Very nice game! Good job!

To: DEMON LORD, From: MOM by Holtzzy223 2021-05-14T22:00:39Z

Visuals are very funny! Nice game!

Voyage of Science and Legacy by NoNumbersGames 2021-05-11T19:52:24Z

Wow! Thanks! That's one small game for man, one giant concept for mankind!

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-04-27T20:22:49Z

wow! great game!

The Deep Underneath by creepyface 2021-04-27T17:26:42Z

I love this art style and atmosphere!

Dream Descend by Benedek Labancz 2021-04-29T14:26:47Z

I found it pretty scary and hard, but fun to play

Dwammings by Eden Shazar 2021-04-28T05:23:13Z

wow, nice game!

Crust by exopunk 2021-04-27T18:15:39Z

Fantastic game! Thank you!!!!

Runner Ore by ThatANoNoWord 2021-04-28T05:11:00Z

nice game!

Deeper by hgushi 2021-04-27T18:06:45Z

Great job!

A Jelly Upon the Deep by 0hSlash 2021-04-27T00:51:01Z

Very fun! And I love this art!

Downward Dog by vincinerated 2021-04-26T23:51:44Z

Funny and addictive, great job!

Industrial nightmare by Megastrons 2021-04-27T00:47:43Z

Wow! I love this creepy art! Very fun game btw

Kikker Kerker by kleingeld 2021-04-27T20:38:30Z

Sounds of the ghosts are so cute =) Nice game

The Dark and The Beast by Sam Wallach 2021-04-29T13:56:15Z

Very fun and a bit scary =) I've enjoyed it very much! Nice concept

Lurking Sea by Saileeich 2021-04-27T17:30:33Z

Agreed with guladam, simple, yet fun =) Anyway is a good job!

Bad Cultist by Selenephy 2021-04-27T20:33:56Z

More cultists on the jam! =) Nice work!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Terrible Brakes by TimBeaudet 2022-04-06T17:51:37Z

Vroom-vroom! Really good game! A lot of fun, and that sounds are amazing! Vroooom!

Apartheid by Jungle 2022-04-04T21:21:01Z

oh. my. god. great game, thank you!

Fist of the Zombie by guzzungo 2022-04-05T10:13:43Z

The game is pretty simple and reminds me old sega stuff. Honestly the game is pretty boring because it hasn't much variety. Move speed of character is low, so you couldn't event make some strategy except spamming spacebar.

But you did the game anyway, and there is a good base for further upgrades and development! Great job!

Dungeon Architect by kazuo256 2022-04-05T13:08:21Z

Great game! I couldn't won, but look like I was so close...

Visual, music and mood are good. Boardgame style is awesome!

Gate Keeper by Lawrence 2022-04-04T21:53:24Z

I love this concept! Very good job! Visual and sound creates a great mood!

MY DREAM BACKROOM DATE by sleepyGrin 2022-04-05T11:53:22Z

Wow! Great psychedelic adventure! I'm not sure that my "no" was "no", but my "yes" was definitely "yes". All 5 stars! Great job!

Witchcraft by Croosle 2022-04-04T23:53:13Z

I like the mood of the game! And art is simple but it has a style!

Dig Dig Joy by Nyunesu 2022-04-04T22:50:27Z

Fun and challenging! But now I have a new fear - fear of slimes =)

Crash Override by DanC2236 2022-04-06T11:52:53Z

Oh man, it's so nostalgic!

Gonna watch this movie again tonight!

HACK THE PLANET!!!

Great idea, thank you!

Icarus: The fall is an inevitable by GreatVV 2022-04-04T22:43:28Z

I love "the incredible machines" type of games! Tried to construct a "bridge" for an hour or so, very addictive. Great job!

Dodge It by evgeney24 2022-04-04T23:07:02Z

Game runs ok but at 5-10fps. But browser uses CPU and GPU just a bit.

v002_5 shows 1 fps and CPU usage much much higher! But if look straight up or straight down then fps is much better. But I can't play properly if I can't look around =(

Rising wind Island by ShivArt 2022-04-04T20:08:15Z

Beautiful fun and addictive game! 5 stars in every category! Great job!

The Last Savior by JustusPan 2022-04-05T10:46:38Z

Whoaw!!!!!! Graphics is god damn great! Visual+audio creates a great atmosphere and brings me back to childhood with DOS and nintendo games! I've really enjoyed it!

Game plays nice! I don't like K-attack, because it's not splash, but it's ok for a challenge.

Great job!

Super Cyber Jelly by Requi 2022-04-04T22:36:09Z

Whoa! Visual is super cool! Game is challengeable but I'm not sure that lasers is a skill-test, not just a luck test. Anyway I had a lot of fun, great job!

The Endless Night by Arivenzys 2022-04-05T13:39:27Z

Music is awesome! Especially with drums!

Visual is beautiful! Very fun! I didn't understand why I died, but I got 5 children and 2 cursed monks =)

Thank you for your game, great job!

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-04T19:31:11Z

@linnea-isaac Thank you for a feedback! Desktop version is a bit easier to control, but you are right, it's a bit tricky to stay alive more than a few minutes. We got a tons of ideas for a post-ludum version, so probably that issue could be solved in a future. But not for now, alas.

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-04T20:51:19Z

@jungle @captaiinmz @carbon6 that's the trick - to control every char somehow, and it's really difficult to stay alive more then a few minutes =) BTW, killers became a bit faster after each kill, so it's essential to keep as much characters as you can. We have some ideas to add more mechanics: individual abilities for a characters, some usable objects on the map, different levels and a possibility to actually beat the game. If jam results would be high enough for us then we probably will add all these features.

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-05T08:36:45Z

@teenythanos you can't rate audio because we used pre-made music from our friend. He didn't participate the jam, he's a musician and these tracks was made long ago. It's like you take an assets, but from your friend, not an asset store. So rating the audio could be unfair

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-05T08:37:38Z

@teenythanos @stenblood @damnscout @boon thank you for your kind words, it's very important for us!

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-05T11:02:50Z

@shmador thank you for a feedback!

we wanted to make the objective (some traps, buttons and a ladder to the next level) and probably will in a post-ludum version.

Actually we wanted to do all this stuff on a jam, but as usual time was against us =)

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-05T12:39:42Z

@andyzyz in desktop version scale is more proper, so it looks much much better. We didn't managed to control scale in a web build =(

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-05T12:42:45Z

@justuspan there is no way to win or to prevent death, because it's inevitable =)

Pots-ludum version probably will have and objectives, different levels and win condition.

But for ludum we make as much as we could in 2 days and then just trying to polish it. Polished and solid but simple game is much better then bigger but more buggy game, imho

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-05T15:17:17Z

@arzi thans for a feedback!

Yeah, you right, something modern would fit better. On the other hand, scary movies often uses abandoned or ancient places.

To be honest, walls and floor was the first assets I made, and I made it before we figured the plot. That's why dungeon is ancient, but all characters and furniture much more modern

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:26:20Z

@jzucc12 this is my favorite comment! Thank you for playing and for your emotions! It means a lot for me

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:27:20Z

@fragment-games thanks a lot!

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:32:41Z

@joedev yeah, my bad =)

Best time I was was a bit more then 2 minutes.

I had to do a game such hard because we managed to make only one mechanic - moving =) So if it was easier, then it would be pretty boring =(

We had some plans to further development, but it's just plans for now

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:36:27Z

@skript-kitty Thanks for a feedback! Future version definitely would have a bit slower control would be clearer and easier.

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:38:42Z

@milq yeah, web-version got pretty bad scaling =(

And even desktop version has much smaller scale then I wanted, but for now we needed a static camera for a better control of situation

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:41:31Z

@darkwolf thank you for your feedback! Unresponsive controls it's a known problem, but you comment forced me to thing what we can do about it. And probably I got the solution of this problem for a future version. So thank you one more time =)

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:43:30Z

@myttz yeah, thank you! It's exactly what I wanted to make the player feel - nostalgia for a game of 80's 90's and start of 00's =)

I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! by TentacleMax 2022-04-06T21:45:31Z

@forgin-bits sometimes they just stops in a shock =)

Honestly, it's not intentional and I don't know why they do so. Probably they are scared

Meteor Storm by Fragment Games 2022-04-04T23:27:53Z

Comment for myself: don't forget to play this game tomorrow! This comment will be updated

Promised update:

I thought that we should avoid the steroids, but after few attempt understand, that we need to burn them. Pretty simple mechanics, but audio-visual mood is great! I love that kind of pixel art and I love the astronaut theme and you got both!

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-04T23:35:56Z

Game looks and feels great at mobile! Rover voice is adorable! Traces of previous run helped move further until I noticed a minimap =) Great job! I got a lot of fun!

Delayarrhea by BearDing8 2022-04-04T21:59:34Z

That game is hilarious! So much fine! Fresh (if it possible to say so in this case) view on a puzzle! I love this type of games!

Rifthoppers by Kimberly 2022-04-06T17:50:05Z

Damn nice game! It's like a crimsonland, but it's essential to not forget to get blue thing! I forgot it many times =)

Watch it by Miiyuka 2022-04-06T22:11:31Z

wow! It was really creepy...

I made it! I escaped after 1257 days!!! That's what I thought. But it was inevitable...

Great story, thank you!

At the first few days I though it would be great prologue for my own entry. But then I realize that your story is pretty deep and dramatic, while my game is just a game.

Great job!

FreeFall by aaron1_cabj 2022-04-05T12:33:58Z

Art and music are nice! Game feels smooth and soft. It's pretty simple but I could play it for a pretty long time =)

Detective Game by NestRai 2022-04-05T09:59:14Z

Didn't understand, what to do with a criminal =( I've talked to every person(?) in town, smelled and tasted the shirt in a thrash can, looked inside a window... And what should I do next? It would be great if you post a kind of "how to".

Btw, thrash can dialogue and criminal house dialogue hasn't key mark. I've just tried 'z' and it works. Not sure, is it intended or not

But it was fun anyway, I laughed at townsfolk =)

Big Small Defender by Tvorojok 2022-04-05T12:23:05Z

The game is crushed after 25-30 minutes. I guess because there were not any new quests.

And it's not clear how to stop doing all quests (they are draining resources) except winning quest.

But visual, sound, mood and atmosphere is great! One of the best jam games so far

Look Up! by Cinar 2022-04-04T21:49:01Z

Very fun and enjoyable game! Great job!

No Match by Peche et Tradition 1867 2022-04-04T21:37:02Z

Visual, sound and overall mood is great. Game is pretty simple but very addictive!

Gods of Divine Stuff: RAgnarök by Anaxie Studio 2022-04-05T13:30:43Z

Visual and sound are great! Nice idea and gameplay!

First 5 or 6 levels were easy, and later levels were to difficult for me =( But I was enjoyed!

Cup Half Full by BangTheWall 2022-04-04T22:21:19Z

Omg! Tetris with physics! It's god damn addictive, but really hard. I had a lot of fun even though it was really hard for me (I've made just few lines)

Final Warp by Kraxxi 2022-04-04T22:12:56Z

Really nice that I could choose appearance of my ship. BTW, enemies stealing my hp and o2 and this adds more challenge and also requires more tactical approach instead of just "kill 'em all" playstyle. Love it!

Timeless by shmador 2022-04-04T23:16:11Z

Can't play right now, but art is so cute and actually great! 1 bit pixel art is not so easy to draw, so it's definitely a great job! Gonna play you game tomorrow and update this comment with real feedback.

Update, as I promised:

Nice puzzle, looks and feels great! I've stuck at level 12. But I love this game anyway

First LD by jaune4ttendGD 2022-04-04T23:10:59Z

Monsters are so adorable! =)

Great job!

Meteoroid Menace by raedeo 2022-04-04T22:30:57Z

My best score is 72 seconds. It was my first play. Next ten times I couldn't reach that much even if I moved counterclock-wise (looks like it's easier to collect fuel that way) Very good game, I like it!

Ambulance Simulator by CaptaiinMz 2022-04-04T21:13:37Z

Great creepy drawing, I love it! Sounds are awesome! So simple but fun and addictive! Patient is definitely not alive =)

Persist Ant by rynsy 2022-04-05T12:36:48Z

High speed creates an atmosphere of inevitable! I like it!

And music + art are very good combo! Great job!

Game User Experience Manager Simulator by jess from online 2022-04-05T08:56:49Z

Great mood and atmosphere, I love this retro interface! But for a start is bit hard to read and understand text. First few minutes I didn't understand what's going on and what should I do. Maybe you could make first few encounters slower and increase speed while playing. I'm sure that there is some easter eggs and secret commands, but didn't find any =( Anyway I enjoyed the game!

Straw Journey by ArdaKrkz 2022-04-06T21:03:03Z

I love pixel art. See pixel art - vote 5 stars =)

And game is pretty fun, got a lot of joy, thank you!
