I like your game concept very much, and your game name is very cute.

The topic is "Deep and Deeper”.

So we came up with an idea:

To search for what you want to find through search engines is a process of deep learning and deep understanding. In this process, everything can be deep and deeper and deeper

At the beginning of the story we give the player a familiar search interface and then enter the theme. It's like generating a lot of results, and we need to search for the results we want. That's what this level is all about.

The second level is a floating island, the roots of the tree deep, as the passage of time, like human beings to accommodate more and more knowledge, like a seed from germination to grow into a towering tree.

The third level is a DEEP sea. I think all the expressions about DEEP are in the level. Light up all the letters and take a deep leap. inside deeper.

Lovely game name! I can feel that you have put a lot of effort into the scene model. The atmosphere of expression is also very close to the theme. excellent!

Great game, quality is like it was in development for 1-2 weeks. I want more games like this. What I would change - at the very beginning, after clicking in googoo search it was 100% black screen because camera was pointing on the floor and I was thinking "another bugged game" and already wanted to close it, but by pure luck I moved mouse.

Cool game, it was fun to travel the levels.

Good job :slight_smile:

Atmospheric game, nice to explore! Not much gameplay, but it was beautiful, with each level being very different aesthetically. For some reason it was using 100% GPU? Probably worth turning on VSync or some frame rate cap just to stop screaming fans :P

Nice entry!

Graphics - nice, obviously. The concept of the deeper search is quite interesting, however there's a lack of narrative and sfx (to highlight the meaningful interactions). Still, there're some cool brains behind this one. Thanks for the experience!

That was deep :wink: I'm not sure if I get the intended meaning (besides finding the dictionary in the deepest of depths :D), but the exploration was certainly nice! Graphics are very cool, and a sparse soundscape goes very well with the mysterious environment.

I'm not sure if it was on purpose, or a bug, but I lost all sound after I went to the underwater area.

In any case, it's a fine piece of jam job!
