The art and gameplay have a really nice aesthetic. Some of the text seemed to be cut off but when I could read them they were really funny. Laughed out loud at the oreo comment.

hestrateja 2021-04-25 22:57

Everything in this game is so deep, it changed my perception of the world... scary.

almgru 2021-04-25 23:22

Nice work! But I was disappointed you couldn't use the pink marker to draw pink lipstick on the Madonna portrait. :cry:

cavedens 2021-04-25 23:36

Nice job. Some collision issues where I walked right off the edge of the rooms but overall I enjoyed the simple gameplay

mizatorian 2021-04-25 23:37

This is deeply punny. Didn't get the Madonna reference though.

panacea 2021-04-25 23:38

@almgru I didn't even think of that, what a missed opportunity! Thanks for the feedback.

panacea 2021-04-25 23:43

@mizatorian Madonna wrote a song called "Deeper and Deeper."

mizatorian 2021-04-25 23:56

@panacea. Thanks, I knew i was missing something :)

Gopro....Go...Pro. It does make you think! :D. Nice and short, good job tackling the theme.

When you said vertical metroidvania I thought there might be more item-solving going on. Like @almgru said, I was almost expecting to use the pink maker to draw on the portrait haha. Finding a key in a lower level to open the top door to find someone hungry for the deep fried oreo could have been neat.

Overall nice short game with some pleasant music =]

parsafari 2021-04-26 00:25

Good game but I was able to skip the whole game by just jumping down and opening the chest. I suggest making some kind of locked door system where you have to collect keys in order to enter other rooms. overall good game!

ziggykac 2021-04-26 00:33

Well done! I really liked the whole mystery story thing, although I wished the house was a bit more complicated with more exploration, although time is obviously important. But apart from that I really liked it, well done! :D

prof-suarez 2021-04-26 00:58

Hey man, a fellow Construct...ehrm, constructor...yeah. After you get some sleep, check out my game. I got you for the revieeeews!

panacea 2021-04-26 00:59

@prof-suarez Will do!

elmando2333 2021-04-26 01:02

It looks good. I feel a little bit horrible. Secret rooms and basements always appeal to me.

spydercrawler 2021-04-26 01:04

I liked this! I really like the music, even if it is pretty simple. Also, some of the puns are pretty good - I didn't realize how many definitions of "deep" you could use when starting the jam!

keylime 2021-04-26 01:11

Interesting idea with nice spooky music

craig 2021-04-26 01:16

Nice idea, was fun seeing what was in each room. Worked without coming across any bugs.

pixelportalz 2021-04-26 01:20

Lovely music and ambience. Really like the sfx. Graphics reminds me of ZakMcKracken!!! btw, I actually never realized that GoPro is "go pro", and that blew my mind 🤣

jwfield 2021-04-26 01:25

Really cool art style, and i love the mood and music. Nice

ariorick 2021-04-26 01:47

Deeeeeeep.......

eboatwright 2021-04-26 02:05

This game was really interesting! The background noise was VERY spooky, although it did get loud at times. And for some reason, the guy's snoring noise made me jump. XD Really interesting game! Great job!

hungryroy 2021-04-26 02:06

Was really looking forward to seeing what jokes/puns were in each room lol

pijamar 2021-04-26 02:11

I like it! Very moody and funny in the right dosage. The only nitpick I have is that the delay when you enter doors is a bit long. Great job :)

rewdas 2021-04-26 02:15

Would have been excellent with some of that Undertale-style beeps-and-boops "voice acting" to lend a sense of comedic timing to the dialogue. Very atmospheric. Consider blacking out tiles beyond the walls - see Celeste.

chiyeon 2021-04-26 02:21

I'd love to go pro in game development in order to make masterpieces like this.

pixelhurricane 2021-04-26 02:21

Not a bad submission, you cam up with an idea and executed on it. Loved the deep puns

doc-kaos 2021-04-26 02:23

I have a few problems with going "down" the ladder, but eventually figured it out. I agree with the others about the delay from hitting 'z' to going through the door was a bit weird. Enjoyed the jokes immensely. Thanks!

neverautomatic 2021-04-26 02:24

I accidentally fell all the way to the bottom, but I made my way back up. Worth.

theseusinabottle 2021-04-26 02:26

I had a little difficult with the latters until I realized how they worked. Other than that this was pretty good.

sesemcc 2021-04-26 02:37

a very punny game XDDD the madonna one took me a bit but it was overall all fun! i think the input delays are the only off thing about it, but otherwise good job!!

nisovin 2021-04-26 02:43

So very deep. I wish pressing space would have finished the dialog without closing it, so I didn't have to wait for the animation. Lots of fun jokes!

billnotic 2021-04-26 02:51

Gameplay is the weakest point, I wish it was possible to get from room to room quicker to see the jokes.

nethead 2021-04-26 02:58

Funny game + super comfy. Gonna second that faster movement would have been nice, but I liked a lot of the art/writing.

jafcraze 2021-04-26 02:59

Puns, puns everywhere! Congrats on submitting a game after restarting. I had to restart too and thought I'd be in ***deep trouble***

xenon27 2021-04-26 03:01

Quite amusing. I liked the ominous vibe of the dungeon (pun-geon?) I think it suits whatever madman would create a deep dungeon dedicated to deep puns.

zephi-sero 2021-04-26 03:19

Funny, wish character moved faster though.

greg-the-egg 2021-04-26 03:24

I really like this take on the theme. The music is really nice, and the puns made me smile

"Not really sure what genre it is…maybe a vertical metroidvania"

It's probably a 'walking simulator' https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Walking+Simulator

ironicnet 2021-04-26 03:50

Nice!

Nice game!

prof-suarez 2021-04-26 12:37

The game was funny, and I got it almost immediately. Spot on with humor and the theme. great job!

robotex 2021-04-26 13:14

I like how it looks and playing.

gilokko 2021-04-26 17:16

I enjoyed playing this game. Really liked the ambience and the music. Great job! :thumbsup:

plazyqwerty 2021-04-26 17:34

Nice game! The mood and atmosphere of the game was amazing! :)

mdotedot 2021-04-26 20:26

Nice exploration game that had a good ambience and didn't want to kill me, like most of these games want ...

thatmanrobin 2021-04-27 01:11

I think this is the first game of the compo I played that I managed to beat!

jakob-willforss 2021-04-27 17:54

Nice atmosphere and nice job with this game! One detail I struggled with is that on my Firefox Unity doesn't capture space, so the screen jumped down every time I iterated on the text. Other than that, a nice experience :)

nyanpierre 2021-04-28 02:26

The game is very funny x))) The madona portrait make me laugh a lot x) one of the most fun game of this jam !

neowhoru 2021-04-28 13:58

Moody little game :D i had the same issue with the space key. What i wondered is how does i use the items that i collected ? And in the first try it just jumped down the whole ladder and opened the box in the last room - Game finished. In the second i opened every door and then the box game finished.

Maybe it needs a bit more challenging or something - but it was just 2 days so for this it is really cool :)

Maybe build more rooms, add more items to interact with. The concept is very interesting. Keep on the good work.

m11 2021-04-28 14:20

Really great music - it really set the atmosphere!

felo07 2021-05-01 20:21

I played till the end, and I was waiting for something to happen. cool graphics and sound effects, I just felt a little lack of content.

2021-05-25 17:44

Neat start! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/9MwVPzD0l-Q
