Big Brain Time by TheInkSkeleton 2021-05-18T18:12:40Z ♥ 1

Pros: I love the idea for this game, and mostly everything ran well for me throughout the game. The movement system ran smoothly, and the overall design of the brain "map" was intuitive as well. The mini map was a great touch to the UI of the game and helped a lot in finding where each neuron was. The art was really well done especially with it being done in paint.net.

Cons: Sadly I had a bit of a bug when I was trying to return the Smell and Taste neurons, it just didn't go away and just resetted the cooldown which I wasn't sure if it was supposed to happen or not. On top of that, I played in the HTML Web Browser, and the Replay button didn't work for me.

Overall, I really love the idea of this game and there's a lot that could be done with that. A few bugs here and there, but the game was stil fun and interesting to play. Nice job!

DieAblo by Emkani 2021-05-18T17:30:14Z ♥ 1

Pros: The dice mechanic to take place of the enemies is a really interesting idea that I love! On top of that, the dice rolling was really polished because there would be times my dice would get stuck on the walls and it would keep pushing it to the side it was mostly on. Great job on that!

Cons: At first, I didn't know how to play the game at all, I was a bit confused and had to just randomly select thing as I went and click buttons on my keyboard, but after I got it, it was fun to see! Having a short tutorial and key to represent what each item does would be great! If it's actually there and I just didn't see it, I apologize.

Overall, the game was really fun to play and I love the dice rolling mechanic a lot more than I expected to. If I knew what everything meant I know I would've played it for a lot longer. Great entry!

Shelter in the Deep by qfeys 2021-05-16T22:25:57Z ♥ 0

Pros: The game was very fun to play and engaging the entire time. The small details of having the workers work their way throughout the mine and having the corruption be randomly generated each time so it doesn't look exactly the same as it's previous "tile". The music had a nice balance as well, it wasn't annoying to listen to in the background compared to other games.

Cons: The only issue I really had was with the scrolling up and down the mine because I would find myself accidentally scrolling up or down which was a hassle to deal with it at times.

Overall, very well made compo game and it was engaging to play as I tried to maintain the mine itself entirely. Great entry!

48 Tons by Scruffylooking2121 2021-05-16T22:13:07Z ♥ 1

Pros: This was an interesting take on the theme, and I very much liked the text adventure experience. I don't typically play games like these but it was fun nonetheless.

Cons: I think condensing the dialogue into smaller bite sized pieces would help keep the player engaged rather than sitting and reading a lot of paragraphs.

Overall, the game was fun, humorous, and interesting overall. Nice entry!

Burnout Without Paradise by luvjungle 2021-05-06T16:00:49Z ♥ 1

Pros: The 3D work for the desk and all the office supplies are really nice. On top of that, the mechanics of having random notes, emails, spams, and tasks that interact with the supplies on the desk is a nice feature. The rain in the background also adds a nice enclosure feeling that effects the mood greatly.

Cons: Although it was in the itch.io description, I found the controls a little difficult to figure at first but eventually got the hang of. On top of that, although it's partially my fault, I didn't realize how you could change pages when it came to signing so I got stuck with figuring out how to cycle different pages.

Overall, it's a nice game made within the given time span and it has room for improvement when it comes to the UI elements and informing the player on how to play the game. It would be nice to have more of an end game goal, but at the same time, I understand how the gameplay loop works with the theme of constantly going deeper and deeper into depression. Good job!

Mafioso Incognito by pokii 2021-05-05T16:54:45Z ♥ 2

Pros: The UI and overall graphics were done really well in terms of the idea of the game. The music was also nice to listen to as well, it wasn't obnoxious and overdone, so I never felt annoyed listening to it.

Cons: The reloading system was extremely funky and weird, which caused me to end up in situations that was unnecessary if the reloading system did work. The random spray pattern of the gun is understandable, but just a bit difficult to play with at times.

Overall, it was a fun game that needs some minor fixes to improve the gameplay a lot. Good job!

Deeper Sleep Beta by Kszaku 2021-05-05T16:31:22Z ♥ 1

Pros: The mood of the game was executed perfectly and I really felt immersed playing throughout the entire game. The audio cues and slight SFX greatly helped with it's immersiveness, but most importantly, the visuals provided that visual connection that helped keep me engaged the entire time.

Cons: I personally didn't see any cons or things I didn't like about the game.

Overall, the game was really great and I thoroughly enjoyed overall. The concept and idea for the game was interesting to view at the end after everything. Creative and enjoyable game, great job!

1000 Fathoms by Dom De Re 2021-05-03T06:44:09Z ♥ 1

Pros: The game was well made and all the mechanics worked great for me. At first I didn't understand what to do until I read the description, but after that it was smooth sailing. I played it by myself, but I can definitely see how this would be thrilling to play with another person.

Cons: Music would definitely add a lot to the pace and mood of the gameplay. On top of that, the SFX for the punching kinda was creeky(?) at times, like it was just loud overall.

Apart from that, overall, the game was fun and well made in the given time frame and theme. There's room for improvements for the game to be built on like more enemies and further graphic work. However, the game is enjoyable nonetheless, great job!

Elevator Goes Up? by Generic Games 2021-05-03T06:38:17Z ♥ 1

Pros: The concept and mechanics were pulled off very well which helped me complete everything that the game had to offer entirely. It was fun to finally get the jet engine and go as high as I can and drop everything as far as I could. It would definitely be nice to have extra upgrades for the Basement, but I understand the time constraint.

Cons: I wish the music would've been put on loop instead of just played once. I can't criticize lack of content because it's unfair for the time constraint, and you did a great job as is.

Overall, the game was really well done and kept my focus without being too much entirely. There's definitely room for upgrade if desired. Good job!

Divine Comedy by skoopidy 2021-05-03T06:25:27Z ♥ 2

Pros: The mechanics worked well for the most part and the UI was good for the most part on the title screen.

Cons: The game was fairly difficult, you are unable to kill all the enemies in any given area for how much damage you output compared to how much you receive. On top of that, I felt very confused on where to go in the game entirely, and ended up going into a "passage" that immediately took me back to the title screen.

Overall, the game was pretty alright, there's definitely room for improvement which I saw you posted on later after which is great!

Blue Abyss by Alpha Wolf Studios 2021-05-01T21:04:05Z ♥ 2

Pros: I love the complexity that was in the game given the short time span of the game jam is remarkable. I also enjoy how all the graphics were consistent in art style overall and nothing was too detailed or too minimal than the other.

Cons: The game sometimes felt a bit TOO much at time with all the mechanics, but at the same time, that can also be seen as a good thing. I see potential for some things to be polished.

Overall, the game was enjoyable and well made within the given time span!

Deep Cover by Silas Reinagel 2021-05-01T05:38:22Z ♥ 2

This game is very enjoyable; the options really give you a character to play and having to remember your lies is honestly the best part. Trying to pick the correct answer also gives you sort of an adrenaline rush that makes it want you to play more! I did fairly well until the end where I ended up blowing my cover and getting killed, but it was very fun!

Crashdown by iellswo 2021-04-28T17:43:38Z ♥ 1

Pros: I love the change in music when going down to second floor, it really helped auditorially pick up the pace of the game. On top of that, the equipment and weapons around the levels were very fun and rewarding to pick up, I love how these items reward curiosity. After playing for a little bit and figuring out that I could drop down to the middle of the second floor for the Level 5 weapons, it was fun from there.

Cons: The contrast in the detailed boss and detailed character compared to the level threw me off, I'm unsure whether it's just my personal opinion, but I personally think having the entire level look the same in comparison with the character and boss would look better. On top of that, I got softlocked when I accidentally went down to a random room on the 3rd floor(?) and I had to get killed by the boss's projectiles to restart.

Overall, the game was extremely fun to play and I had a blast exploring, killing enemies, and discovering all the items the game had to offer. Great job!

Ice is Nice by DizzyEX 2021-04-28T15:25:08Z ♥ 2

Pros: The idea in how you gain heat with more towers you have is very interesting. On top of that, the game ran smoothly for the most part and the soundtrack was good in accordance to the atmosphere of the game. And although I'm not sure, but I believe the ice is getting smaller with how much Ice Life there is, and that was a cool feature to add.

Cons: I don't see how the game goes with the theme of jam that much, I could be overlooking it entirely. I didn't know what I was doing at first so I believe adding a quick Image that would tell the player what to do would be a great feature to add.

Overall, the game was fun and I enjoyed the management of more than just simply putting towers down. This is a game you could definitely build off of if you wanted to do more in the future. Good job!

Ludum Dare 48: Deeper and Deeper by somnolentPumpkin 2021-04-28T03:42:02Z ♥ 1

The game was very atmospheric when you went into the sewers, I almost felt like I was going to be jumpscared. The voxel models were very interesting to look at in contrast with the smooth terrain of the game. Overall, the game ran smoothly for me and the turtle based platforming was satisfying to complete. Good job!

Extreme Deep Sea Fishing! by Sbug 2021-04-28T03:34:44Z ♥ 1

The game was very fun to play! I loved the overall well made mechanics of the fishing rod, and the pixelated 3D rendering is absolutely amazing and I'm personally hoping to achieve that effect in some of my future projects. Overall, very fun game and I love how much you were able to create within the time span.

Bat and Spider Cavern by Greg the Egg 2021-04-28T03:31:19Z ♥ 1

Very cute game that played in the browser a lot different that I expected (not in a bad way). I didn't even realize you could move the character until I read the directions while playing. Good job!

AMIAPS DD: A Man In A Potato Sack Digs Deep by paetramon 2021-04-28T03:26:53Z ♥ 1

The game was very grindy, but I found myself becoming addicted to upgrading my miner. Although the game itself being grindy, it was very fun to play and the mechanics were very smooth :) Good job!

Asterisk by Crychair 2021-04-28T03:17:43Z ♥ 5

This game was really fun to play! I loved the music, cutscene, and end report! The end report really helped conclude each run and wrap it up to detail to the player, which is really nice to see. Overall, great job!

METADATA by SnowInfinity 2021-04-27T16:49:41Z ♥ 1

The boss mechanics and gameplay goes absolutely crazy, challenging yet fun to experience. Overall, the game was very well done especially with the ground pound mechanic.

Red Archer by BadPiggy 2021-04-27T03:28:03Z ♥ 1

I love the overall mechanics of the game, from the slow-motion to the dashing to dead bodies. Overall, very fun game! :D
