LD46 — Keep it alive

Princess Ribbon by Goutye 2020-04-20T12:29:03Z

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GOLF GAME! SO CUTE TOO!

the Isle by zillix 2020-04-21T03:57:49Z

Really cool atmosphere, and really tight dialogue system.

Extinction Intervention by rosypenguin 2020-04-21T05:16:34Z

I had to stop because I was going to give myself an injury, but this game was a good clicker game.

Broken Hearts by egoregor 2020-04-20T11:51:46Z

Really simple and nice concept. Well executed.

Forest Idle by Firewill 2020-04-21T02:05:15Z

Great Clicker game that requires a balanced economy. Like the use of limited color as well.

Keep our Mother alive by soyrandom 2020-04-21T02:38:46Z

Had a funny turtle art asset, so I had to give it a go. Really funny premise!

Indiana Farm by Pathus22 2020-04-21T01:22:27Z

It's really hard. :skull:

Lich Clicker by Fictions 2020-04-21T05:30:02Z

Cute clicker game. Nice and short.

Feed The Furnace by Frozedon 2020-04-21T01:45:35Z

I can't make it past 10 limit. The time runs out so fast! :scream: But very fun premise!

Leap Of Faith by ryan123rudder 2020-04-21T05:52:36Z

Fun little golf game but the ball is a fish, nice!

Please Stay by topbraj 2020-04-20T12:34:20Z

This is a really clever use of theme!

Egg Hero by Firebelley 2020-04-21T02:18:30Z

Love the visuals, controls, and movement. Don't like the premise, or the enemies.

Absolutely Authentic Streaming Experience™ by Whismirk 2020-04-21T01:32:36Z

This one of the more funny entries I've seen! Great work!

One Tiny Plant by incinious 2020-04-21T04:13:47Z

Really cute. I rly like how the insects were designed.

droidathon by acgaudette 2020-04-21T01:26:40Z

I like to wobble and shoot. Feels good when I actually land a hit, but it's pretty hard for me.

Egg Drop by Bob174 2020-04-21T05:08:46Z

This game has the best drawn style art I've seen from this entire jam so far, and I'm about 30 in. It's funny! It's cute! And it really makes me wish I had someone to play with. ORA ORA ORA ORA!

8-Bit of Farming by StinkyKitty 2020-04-21T04:47:34Z

This game is wayyy too slow, at least on my machine, which is a shame because it has a really nice gameboy style and cute audio. I just wish plants grew faster, or anything else happened to fill that time. When I first started playing the game, I thought I had broken it because I couldn't go anywhere and the plants took so long to grow.

Tama-Gotcha! by JasonD 2020-04-21T04:38:33Z

I liked the story and the monster animations were really fun, but I think it was a little slow waiting for each story segment.

Turtle Daddy by dummydojo 2020-04-21T06:07:02Z

Really short and sweet! The controls are really tight. BEAUTIFUL ART AND ANIMATIONS! :heart_eyes: :turtle:

Happy Life by scalliondelight 2020-04-21T01:52:02Z

Really good multi-tasking game, but the unlock on the phone sticks a little. Other than that, really fun premise to explore. I wish more of the tasks had overlapping meaning to the story.

Capybaba by matthewi 2020-04-21T02:23:33Z

This game is really funny. The premise of a capybara and super baby in a forest is just funny to me.

DOC+ORS by bixarrio 2020-04-21T02:10:04Z

I really like the voxel characters and their animations. It really helps give them a lot of personality.

Last keeper by Tatyana 2020-04-21T05:57:37Z

Really good art and good use of minigames!

Whacktory by sndsgood 2020-04-21T21:38:41Z

I like the music and everything looks really good, especially in how they shake and jiggle. I thought the spinning of the planet was the most fun part though.

S.L.I.M.E.S. Division by Yoshify 2020-04-21T06:38:51Z

I really love this one. Really simple missile game that's well executed and has cute slimes! When that SMART Missile kicks in it feels so good. 5's across the board.

SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-21T02:26:17Z

Link is still broken for me. I would have really liked to play your turtle game. :/

Turtle Team by welby 2020-04-21T00:43:34Z

Hey everyone I'm making another update at the very last minute, it should be posted up in 30min or so, so please GIVE IT A TRY. I added a shark to chase you and a goal, and the guys on the shell can die.

UPDATE: New version is up. Please give it a go. :shark: :turtle:

Turtle Team by welby 2020-04-21T04:59:38Z

@firewill AAAA! <3 Thank you so much for playing to completion! You really hit the nail on the head. I didn't have time to add more functionality to the turtle units, which were also going to have jobs on the turtle shell slots for different tools that acted like upgrades. The pilot/conductor is the only real job, but the shark is also the only real enemy so I thought it balanced out a little. After the jam, I'm looking forward to trying to do more with the idea.

My Mother is a Caravan? by Gideonnf 2020-04-21T05:42:13Z

Beautiful Artwork! I love the style, and the idea of caravan for character is really funny!

Somewhere Warmer by tupto 2020-04-20T12:12:05Z

This is a really clever use of theme, and I think a perfect jam game idea. Usually I try to smash through these to see more of the game, but this is one that really makes me take my time, yet still allows me to play at my own pace. Great job!

Planty's Day Out by CitDev Chris 2020-04-21T01:55:39Z

Love the plant buddy who needs to be planted to recharge. Very cute!

God Simulator: Mountain Edition by MartinTale 2020-04-20T12:47:47Z

Very Zen and relaxing game to play and just kind of let my mind wander.

Keep Your Rage Alive! by cateye 2020-04-20T12:40:35Z

Really like controlling the hammer. It's so loose and fun.

Goat Sacrifice by Frankie Hobbins 2020-04-21T07:06:05Z

I love the look of your underwater world and the creatures that try to snatch the goat up!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Eat Prey Live by mrnyarlathotep 2021-04-27T15:30:48Z

It's a very surreal setting which was cool. I had trouble dying though so I just chilled out and eventually the Jellyfish ate me. I kind of wish i had somekind of depth meter though.

Deepest Sword by Strega 2021-04-27T06:21:04Z

This game's art and sense of humor are gonna break the jam ratings this year. It went for it. There were a couple puzzles where I felt like I was off barely and the physics required too much finesse. This game's team should be proud of how effective they all were in making an excellent and unique spin on the theme this year. I'll be remembering this submission in jam's to come.

For Whom The Diving Bell Tolls by Jakob Willforss 2021-04-26T02:12:42Z

i like the bottles to read while waiting for air to recharge, i wish there were more in better spots though

Go, Little Mole! by maxr00 2021-04-26T04:01:59Z

The platforming feels good for the most part, and the way it's mixed into the jumps and level design is fun to figure out. The forgiving checkpoints make it rly nice to work through quickly. Just a good simple platformer with a digging mechanic that feels good. Good game. Music and audio work together well too.

DeepSea by Chensu 2021-04-27T04:56:31Z

This game is actually rly nice to look at and controls surprisingly well for 3D flying. The drill is a little slow at drilling to make the game fluid. BUT WOW are the flying missiles intense when they first attack! I jumped out of my seat when the first missile hit me. It was rly cool!

Redtape by NeitherNathan 2021-04-27T05:54:07Z

I give Carl the coin but then I am not able to pick up the paper in the next room for the copier that he asks me to refill. I really like the art and setting for this game though, and also that one endless room is pretty cool. The game also has a tendency to crash in the elevator.

Submergence by TomekS 2021-04-26T03:40:05Z

i really wish i could play this. The effects and environment look rly great with the music sounding nice, but it runs at about 5 frames a second on the WebGL on my laptop :'(

Submergence by TomekS 2021-04-26T05:01:48Z

@tomeks i couldn't get it to run on Google Chrome but it runs fine on Microsoft Edge for some reason lol, i rly enjoyed it thank you. :D

Deep in the Forest by CodeGlitch0 2021-04-26T20:14:58Z

Catching the vines feels rly good once I get the rhythm. Like Tarzan through the jungle. I think a main character or enemies coulda rly spiced this up well.

Grabble Story by Mahjoub 2021-04-26T05:22:55Z

This game is amazing! It has that perfect loop of dodging on the way down for better rewards, but higher risk because there's more to dodge on the way up. And this is legitimately the best music and sound I've heard the entire game jam. Really good submission for LD48.

Just Dig by TwoWolf 2021-04-26T03:06:52Z

i hade trouble figuring out the controls at first, but eventually figured it out. you have to hold a direction AND push the dig button. everything looks nice, but the upgrades cost way too much for how much trouble it is to get the coins. The coins are just way too inconsistent, the level design can just make you lose. The screen speeds up before i can even dig for a little while to get the coins. I see the game here, i'm sad i couldn't get to it, bc i'm not good enough at the early parts.

Extreme Deep Sea Fishing! by Sbug 2021-04-26T02:16:33Z

Loose controls make me feel like I have a lot to learn about the finer mechanics of properly aiming and controlling the net, but the harpoon is simple, and the dynamite requires some timing. But all in all, it's rly cool to travel to the depths, fight a shark, and carry it back up like I'm recreating the Old Man and The Sea

Depths of the Mind by chris-mondok 2021-04-27T15:14:25Z

Neat sort of plate spinning game about doing one thing in the down-time of driving downwards. It's really cool especially once you get to the darker parts. I wish it was a little clearer that I was earning progress towards art while going down though.

Gone Fishing by matthewi 2021-04-27T08:02:15Z

The art is amazing and the fish designs are extremely good. But the gameplay could probably be tightened up a little with more money for fish and a faster reel from the start. Otherwise rly relaxing game.

Drills and Gadgets by RNGames 2021-04-27T19:42:13Z

All the art in this game looks rly good, and I like having to make hard decisions about what to drill or buy. I kind of wish the side-to-side movements were faster or costed less though.

Root Crop by Moomka 2021-04-26T12:08:06Z

I like the roots that light up the dark section when you get lower down, so you have to explore for the water.

Wrangler's Knot - Deep Dive Sea Fishing by welby 2021-04-26T05:06:46Z

@mahjoub i originally kept that from happening with a quick-fix, but i'm not surprised the game still has that bug at this point, haha! I'm gonna have to add sky and space fish to make the most of the feature.

Wrangler's Knot - Deep Dive Sea Fishing by welby 2021-04-27T14:50:19Z

@chris-mondok Teaching players to "tighten the loop enough" before reeling in was a challenge. I was tight on time when setting the correct distance to collect the fish, so those distances are very rough. Thank you for playing.

Wrangler's Knot - Deep Dive Sea Fishing by welby 2021-04-27T14:53:43Z

@mrnyarlathotep I agree. I had ppl tell me that they didn't even know they could reel-in, which is the only way to reset the rope to the max rope length. It would have been a relatively easy fix too. I guess I was in a hurry at the end. It's rly a shame for me. Thanks for the feedback.

The Company Store by 3LSTMsInATrenchcoat 2021-04-26T04:08:59Z

it's the kind of game that would benefit a lot from sound or effects. But i like the mechanic of trying to get coal without any of the other things.

Aquanomicon by Briibot 2021-04-27T06:59:52Z

The art in this game is wonderful, although I couldn't see it in the WebGL, but it worked in the Windows build. I like the idea and the concept and the setting... but I can't figure out what on screen is what in the book fast enough, and I wasn't able to figure out any recipes past the first one. The text in the book is hard to read.

Treasure dive by Thagiat 2021-04-27T05:38:37Z

It's a really nice upgrade loop focused game. I like the art and the very nice use of 3D models. I think some of the upgrades in the middle are a little too spaced out for my tastes. And I think the final enemy obstacles were a little too easy to dodge. But other than that, a very well put together game.

Fast Burger Fury by johnCavatelli 2021-04-26T04:26:35Z

got stuck on the 2 stacks of 2 pots, but i think the game is an enjoyable rupe goldberg builder-esque game, and it's satisfying to dip the food in the grease and watch it grow

Flake by Modoc73 2021-04-26T03:34:20Z

Not sure why the game starts off with some weird insulting the player humor, but the game is alright. You just guide a fish around to various collectibles for challenges which is kinda neat. I didn't feel like continuing after dying from being bounced around by damage at the end after the keys though. It looks good and sounds good, and i like the energy of all the fish moving around.

DeepRoots by GoodMan233 2021-04-26T04:47:56Z

rly like the simple pathing puzzles and little sounds. it's chill. the blocks of water to path out optimally were probably my favorite, and my least favorite was level 18 with the dark maze that you have to trial and error, where i also quit, lol

Clean The Ocean by DariushF 2021-04-27T07:34:48Z

Pretty fun game of frantically fighting for enough resources to upgrade the air and continuing to sink deeper. I love the art and the way the fish get knocked around is really fun and silly. Wish there were more varied kinds of fish though.

Deep in the ocean by xicoizquierdo 2021-04-26T03:10:27Z

It's a nice dodging game, but the game could rly benefit from a way to allow the screen to go down faster, or for the player to get deeper sooner.

Fish Quest by GoldenPalazzo 2021-04-27T07:17:40Z

This game is very hard. I don't think I can make it to 50 meters. I rly like the beginning though, where the fish jumps out of the boat and escapes. It is very funny. I also like the explosion that happens on death which is cool.

Little Mother by Save Sloth Studios 2021-04-27T06:45:14Z

The art and animation for the little mother and the babies on top of the painted environment makes for a very tense stroll with very cute animals that i'm afraid for. The other animal dialogue in the world makes the situation narratively tense. My only advice would be to shorten maybe a couple of the longer stretches.

Submarine Bean by Icoso 2021-04-27T06:36:12Z

I like the way the levels show the ocean in a very colorful way. The movement is tight and the hitboxes are ok but maybe could be a little more forgiving.

EveryDay by xpoho 2021-04-27T19:50:35Z

This is one of the funniest games I've seen this jam. :laughing: It's a neat experience. What it lacks in gameplay and graphics, it makes up for in a very visual story that is fun to go through. :thumbsup:

Gold Digger by ThatmanRobin 2021-04-27T06:31:15Z

The voice clips are so good, and i love the destructible environment!!

Roots game by BoClow 2021-04-27T07:07:43Z

Very pleasant game of aiming for stuff to feed the roots. Maybe could've used some obstacles, but the way the roots look at the end is actually amazingly realistic. It's so cool to see at the end!

Deepr Diver by Vitor Figueredo 2021-04-26T04:57:15Z

I like a good simple jumper game. I like getting the hang of understanding how to hit space bar to go where i want. hit about 34m and felt good abt it. I sort of wish the depth had more going on as i went deeper tho.

Octopus Dive by JedeMac 2021-04-26T03:20:36Z

This game is rly good, it has a nice blend of movement, gathering, and timing. Just a nice experience of being an octopus. The graphics and audio make rly set the mood too, and I love the educational tidbits.

Caves of the Forgotten by CorbenG 2021-04-26T04:15:11Z

the ending made me chuckle. I think it's a clever way to end a game. The art and light sound is rly good too.
