It would have been nice to see the background get darker the deeper you get. And the "S"-Key seems much better fit to start the game instead of an extra Key.
There is also a bug when pressing Keys that are not Space key before starting the game.
Cute concept. What's the high score?
@CapsE
fixed the bug! thx
i will try to implement the darker background for the jam submission (- :
@cr2crstudios
haha thx! how dare you to call my impressive art skills "concept" (- ; the highscore is unknown but i will try to build one for the jam submission
Well, I managed to surface and die at the same time. (At 1895.5.) With perfect key presses, I'm guessing the highest possible would be around 2000.
The idea of having to surface would make a pretty fun game when coupled with the old "Use points to upgrade stuff to go further" mechanics.
Good work!
Well, that certainly did what it said in the title! And the answer would seem to be, not as deep as I thought I could :)
A nice, simple game that could easily be developed further by adding some features which actually let the player have more control over how deep they're able to dive, rather than just having them press one button spastically until they know that they won't get any deeper.
...if...only...I...could...dive...just...a...bit..deeper.....
Died every time, too greedy I guess. :)
Hehe, nice idea, got a bit dizzy from the oxygen deprivation :p (1453)
Didn't understand the game play...
@Crooksister
thx for the feedback (- ; my entry has now a desciption where everything is explained in detail (i hope)
thx for trying!
Press F5 to try again? Clever girl...
Cool concept!
Nice idea! Looks like the main character is a SPACE key :-)
You should point out that this is a button smashing game (otherwise it's hard to know what you have to do to be better in this game)
Nice concept, but needs some work. It would also be nice if there was a timer or something telling you how long you have until you drown. First couple times I was clueless to how long I had.
1514, nice concept, could be a bit better polished though :P
Wow, it's shocking how addictive this skatter-brained-button-bashing-baby is. Love the addition of the two eyes. Makes you feel more guilt when you drown him/her.
I don't think I'd be able to make a game like this all by myself in 48 hours (since I'm an artist lol)
But seriously. It's simple, but great gameplay. I actually panic when swimming up. Well played sir.
(1629 returning alive) (2631 sadistic drowning death) :P
Please play and rate my game!
...again!
You can download now.
Cute game, but I would raccommend to show something, anything about the air. I understand that you want the air amount to be hidden, but you could do something between having it and not having it at all: a flashing hint, an animation. :)
Neat concept.
A very simple game, indeed. Graphically very simple as well. The fact that you have to balance multiple tries to get the best depth without drowning is a nice touch. The decision to not show the amount of air left is crucial to that, so I think that was the right call to make.
Super simple game, but kind of fun! I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series! http://youtu.be/O5O979VlwyY
