Appreciated the instructions on the first page. Fun to explore around and see your humor!
Same sentiments as ZQ. Was a little difficult to navigate, and tedious to go into so many empty buildings.
Overall I rather enjoyed this entry. The music was very nice, and although the game was short, the exploration was fun. Nice job!
That was a neat little point and click type game. I ran into an issue though, if you get pinned against the left wall with a rock. I liked that there was some variety in what you had to do to get the parts.
Well done! I liked the music, but I agree with the sentiments about the vertical movement.
Nice, short, sweet and simple. It takes a bit to move vertically, but it was certainly a charming little game to play!
I got steel plate, propeller and periscope, but now I'm stuck... nowhere else to go, no keys...
It would probably help if the NPCs said something when you click on them when you don't have what they need already in hand, as I did not know they could talk at all until halfway through.
Something that may or may not be a bug I noticed is that doors do not require you to be near them, allowing you to skip past most of a screen of swimming by clicking the door closest to where you want to go.
I liked moving around and exploring. It was fun, but when I went down the ladder a rock pinned me to the left and I died.
I liked the amount of content, and the music is nice. The only thing I suggest changing is the movement speed to something a bit faster (vertically).
The premise was interesting. Navigating through doors was a little difficult, but the exploration was fun.
I like the idea of using Atlantis as the basis; however, the game wasn't the most playable I've seen; some of the villagers don't seem to talk when clicked on (which made me think they were just decoration until I learned otherwise). There isn't a need for the money/food as the time it would take to get the extra 9 coins from the underneath area would cost more than the 30 in food you'd get (and it's not needed for finishing the game). I also wish the edges were better defined. I kept trying to go further to see where the new areas were (the ladder was a nice hint for the underneath area though). All in all, an average entry.
Really nice, graphics are a bit simple but there is a lot of things to do for a 72hours game !
Not bad at all! It kept me going. I didn't find movement annoying once I figured out you can click to a door from anywhere on the screen. Good Job!
Great game. I enjoyed it. I like the fact there are different ways to collect your items. Great game planning in such a short time. This can be the seed of a larger game. The game's simplicity is the reason for its beauty. I suggest two things to improve navigation:
1. As every one else mentioned, vertical navigation should be as fast as horizontal navigation
2. You are combining mouse clicks (for the doors) and keyboard navigatoin for the movement. I suggest using only one navigation set; therefore instead of a mouse click to talk to people or to open the doors, maybe you use a space bar. It makes it easier on the keyboard.
Those are minor suggestions however, this was developed in 72 hours only. So great job overall.
Very nice game. I like the idea. Good job for 72 hours. :)
I agree with Greeso in his second suggestion...
...and it would be nice to see it with better graphics!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
There is quite a bit of content, but its a bit annoying how long it takes for the character to move vertically.
