Well, the ending definitely ups the humor rating! That and the easter egg both gave me a good laugh.

I would recommend adding some instructions for the controls. I kept trying to use WASD to move while I was falling and almost gave up. For anyone else trying, use the mouse for control once you've jumped.

The game also closed every time I clicked restart. Not sure if it was a crash or if the restart button is actually making the game quit.

The audio track is fantastic and earned you a really high rating for Mood.

I enjoyed this game as a proof of concept although it did not get any more challenging the deeper I went. I almost consider that a good thing, therapeutic to some extent. Well done!

I almost spit out my tea when I saw the final screen! Great sense of humour. The game is really enjoyable as a concept.

However while playing it I couldn't help but feel that this game could have been a much more serious title. Imagine if you are in the future when the Earth core needs some device to keep it stable and you're on the mission to fix/provide that device. You get your suit and go down the rabbit hole! There could be some power ups in the game that let's you destroy some of the obstacles while diving into the Earth's core. I'd add voiced dialogue to the main character and there should be a companion or someone from the mission control who would instruct the player with the nearest obstacles and maybe just casualy talk to the main character, maybe you could tell another story while trying to get to the core. All this, in my opinion, would add a lot of depth to the game. Although, your humorous approach to the subject is quite appealing too!

And if you want to leave the game like this, I'd only fix few bugs: restart button closes the game instead of restarting the gameplay. At least on my machine. And sometimes when you jump off at the beginning you can immediately fall to death.

Anyway... I really love the game! Great work!

@xarina777 rarely happens, I have to find out the cause of this problem, sorry :(

@greyvan Thank you very much for the great feedback! :heart: yes it looks like the button restarts is a crash XD

Great game! I liked the game mechanics and the end is the icing on the cake :joy:

It's a fun game! The controls feels weird at times and can be frustrating (for instance I feel that the rotation is not fast enought, which makes it hard to dodge vertically alligned obstacles), but the concept is addictive, almost hypnotizing!

Fun game, I did find the controls while falling a bit wierd for me though, so I couldnt reach the bottom and see the final screen!

Really fun game, interesting concept and I especially like the mood created!

Thanks for the game. I had a similar idea initially so thanks for execution :D ..... ESTER EGG :D .....

Improvements: * Teach the player that he can only steer with the MOUSE once he dived. I did not understand this at first. WASD won't work anymore, maybe make the mouse optional? * A hot restart is absolutely essential for these kind of games. When I press restart the game closes. * I first tried to jump on the rocks, you may need some visual hint.. like an arrow.
