LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Ground control to major Tomashevsky by drnick 2014-04-29T02:14:00

interesting subject and plot! effects worked well to tell the story and set the mood. the combination of 2001 reference and soviet theme was fun.

controls felt clunky, it wasn't obvious that falling too far or touching the worms would kill me. also sometimes i couldn't see where i had to jump.

Whac-A-Something! by LPGhatguy 2014-04-30T15:08:00

I accidentally whacked a kitty and I cried. No puppies to whack either. Nice debug window :D

Just Your Typical Dating Game by Shmarah 2014-04-29T02:33:00

bad-grammar-ed the pokemon sentence right away, and I had to google what an "ugg" was, but I LOL-ed so hard and then I got bad ending 2. it was kinda perfect.

Crustacean Farm by LandoSystems 2014-04-29T02:51:00

this game is crazy. I like it. won in 6 days? I feel like a champ.

Beachcomber by Mase 2014-04-29T03:10:00

a very brief but intense experience. well done.

Baconizers: Into The Abyss by berryhermans 2014-04-29T03:16:00

the little guy kept scooting around the screen and the sharks kept disappearing, but it was cool.

Go! Go! Purgatory! by Captain_Genial 2014-04-29T03:30:00

that was very disappointing. ow, that grammar. looked amazing though.

Don't fly in the Mine! by kovacsmarcell99 2014-04-29T17:24:00

same error as figglewatts.

In Too Deep by Toestee 2014-04-29T02:26:00

wow. great story telling and mood. gameplay was... almost non-existant. i was expecting to be able to do more. but it was still an interesting experience.

To The Depths! by xensky 2014-04-29T01:02:00

note: might crash after left idle for a while. cause unknown. memory leak suspected.

To The Depths! by xensky 2014-04-29T02:53:00

@eerongal: sorry about lack of direction. we tried to add lots of synonyms but fell short.

"look _" works on a lot of key words mentioned in the text, "go _" works mostly in cardinal directions, and usually you can look in that direction first to see if go will succeed.

most other commands also have really simple "verb noun" formats, you'll just have to try some stuff and see what works!

@empyrealhell did the game crash, or did you just get stuck?

To The Depths! by xensky 2014-04-29T12:28:00

sorry again everyone. the crash big is occurring in libgdx, i think because i'm not using a full release build. will investigate using 1.0 later today.

will also add a help command that lists many of the painter commands.

To The Depths! by xensky 2014-04-30T20:39:00

@Kragnir were you playing the original or the fixed version? The original had a memory leak (that made it crash after a minute or 2) that we fixed.

Scuba Sam by Boodog 2014-04-30T14:52:00

great little game. love the music and the crabs. going left/right between 2 blocks catches based on the whole body rather than the feet which is kinda annoying, but overall very nice.

Debt Diver by aaronj 2014-04-29T01:55:00

Super cute, realistically slippery controls. Make a few more of these and if you actually have debt it will surely disappear!

RMS Sonedi by TeamAlpha 2014-04-29T14:31:00

trapped in a blue box and nothing happens apart from creepy noises?

RMS Sonedi by TeamAlpha 2014-04-29T17:20:00

I didn't find any exit to the first room, I walked around for like a minute before I gave up.

Scratch Ticket Fate by XenosNS 2014-05-01T01:44:00

can I actually have that vast wealth? the sounds were spot on. I really wanted to win the banana hammock for some reason. alas. great entry.

Beneath The Surface: A detective story of video game conspiracies. by taocayo 2014-04-29T02:13:00

what the heck. the kittens did it. *grumbles*

800bar by rnlf 2014-04-30T15:14:00

a bit glitchy, my ship was hopping, but very cool.

Tick Attack by hanoth 2014-04-30T15:18:00

perfect game, except for the part where I got the skin crawlies. *shudder*

Treasure Hunter by holgk 2014-04-29T17:28:00

cute little game. lots to mine. impressive for the time limit.

Inner War by KickBack 2014-04-30T15:27:00

incredible game. I love the juxtaposition of the inner and outer struggles of this poor dude. Also I like that it wasn't glitchy. the indecisive ending was kinda hilarious.

mem29 by JangoBrick 2014-04-29T17:02:00

lotsa fun. very smooth/solid. love the cards. very cute with the beneath the surface of the cards idea. super clever.

Upside Down by simon02 2014-04-29T02:37:00

interesting concept. tricky controls make it hard to work with the moving platforms.

Diamond quest by PnDAA 2014-04-29T14:37:00

A quick fun romp into diamond infested red stuff. Highly enjoyable.

Sub-Surface Walk by LewisG0400 2014-04-30T15:02:00

interesting little game. I liked how blue was bad.

Villager by LukeZaz 2014-04-29T17:03:00

will not work for me. chrome/win7. the page wont load at all, very odd since most of the web games have worked perfectly for me.

Mermurder! by Root Beer Barrel Boys 2014-04-29T03:03:00

fun idea! controls worked decently. at first couldn't figure out how to snag fisherdudes. not enough flips.

Miner Fish by CheeseyBob 2014-04-29T17:16:00

great idea, crazy fun and silly. who knew fish would be so good at mining?

They Come With Fire by DarkUser 2014-04-29T17:07:00

excellent game. extremely smooth controls. love the music.

Digger Grave by ajfischer 2014-04-29T02:48:00

simple game, works okay. not much challenge or replay factor.

Igneous by torcado 2014-04-29T03:22:00

fun puzzle-y game! fun dialogue/tutorial too. music is good, gets a little repetitive after a while.
