LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Let's Go Deeper by Deozaan 2021-04-28T07:58:54Z

Unfortunately I'm getting the same issue with the web version (also on Chrome/Macbook). The downloaded version worked for me, however. I love a breakout game, so I enjoyed my playthrough. The mouse controls felt a little unresponsive for some reason, but the keyboard controls were fine. I thought the sounds were also slightly off-sync (the paddle sound triggered a little early compared to the actual bounce of the ball), but maybe I'm just overthinking the sounds! Good job!

This kept me playing for a while! I loved the lighting effects, and the oxygen depleting really made me feel claustrophic, so well done! The controls were a little annoyingly slow at times; it would be nice to maybe make the acceleration a little faster. I didn't realise that the yellow triangles were coins to start with - I thought they were decorative piles of sand! Their hitboxes are a little small in my opinion (same with the diamonds) which makes them quite annoying to pick up (especially with the slow acceleration). Also I did encounter a small bug where I left the water with too much momentum on the far end of the screen, and somehow ended up floating quite high in the sky, with my oxygen counter falling! Eventually respawned back at the starting location.

But overall, good job, it plays well!

As some other reviewers have said, this can get a little repetitive. It would have been nice to see other types of upgrades - maybe different item types like explosives or something? Just spitballin'!

The fish look great! I would have liked a slightly faster pace (maybe just a faster rod at the beginning).I liked the collection aspect with the fishipedia as well.

I had trouble with the low sensitivity of the controls at the start - it felt a little unresponsive and the jump was so high I didn't feel like I could be in control. Quite quickly I worked out that going anti-clockwise and "float"ing with shift meant I could stay floating in the air all the way through. I liked the idea, but the game could do with a little more balancing in this regard!

Nice idea!

Took me a while to realise that shooting is how you stay floating! Would be good to be able to see a bit more of the world at a time.
