Nice game! Although it says "not supported for mobile", I played it on my Phone until the roots and branches were out of reach (since I couldn't scroll or move the camera around). I had fun anyway and I got the idea of your game! I definitely had fun and I will play it again later on my laptop.
Whaaat π super strange, but fun! The background music and sound effects really match and I like the art work. It's more a pitch or a teaser then a complete game, but I like it and I'd love to see more of it.
Somewhat reminded me on Franz Kafkas "Metamorphosis" (but I'm glad your game didn't end like that!)
I liked your game, the graphics, the background music and that every alien species has its own sound effects! I'm impressed that you did all that in 48 hours!
I wanted to download the Windows version, but the page says "access denied"!
So I played the web version and I made it to the bottom of the pit! I jumped off screen one time, and I thought I'm dead now, but my character dropped down again and I continued. I couldn't really figure out how I collected points. Is it when planks crush to the sides? I also wasn't brave enough to do the "place yourself below the plank and then kick" stunt, but I will try again!
I didn't quite get what interaction causes the sound effect.
But it's a very satisfying scene at the end!
I like your game, it definitely stands out and I love the mood and art style. I missed a bit the theme "deeper and deeper", and also a bit of storyline or twist.
Besides selecting the buttons tube, brain and lungs, I couldn't figure out the other interactions. I'm playing on a Win10 and I'm using Chrome Version 90.0.4430.212.
Besides that, I love the quirky art style and the idea! Did anyone record the gameplay of your game, I'd love to see it! And I'm downloading another browser to try it out!
**Edit**: I'm sorry. It's me, not you. I somewhat figured it out. The problem was that I oversaw the giant "OH NO, I do not feel well" and I didn't get that this means "Game Over". I still don't get how to add tubes, but I will figure out this one as well...
What did I just play π
This is a very original take on the theme "Deeper and deeper" and the sound effects were killing me (so... 5/5 at "mood", I guess?)
This damn flashlight goes out so fast! And who has such a deep, dark basement??? π
I read your blog post about the many faces of goblin girl, which I liked a lot btw. Playing the game the first time, I got a bit distracted by the big "Out of battery/Recharging" texts and giant bats and ghosts sticking to my virtual glasses, so I wasn't able to pay much attention to the status bar and avatar. But after playing a couple of times, I got better and I enjoyed the game a lot! I love the artwork, the intro scene, and that you added background music. Sound effects when hitting a monster with the flashlight would make it perfect!
Nice and polished looking game, I like the artstyle and the background music and the animated game UI. At first I totally missed that you can place windmills in the "white" sea tiles! Great game!
Beautiful atmospheric game, background music and graphics work together excellent, and it also matches the theme perfectly. I have to say I had trouble learning the controls at first, but I put it down to the fact that I am really bad at shooter or jump and run games. I was also missing checkpoints and I would agree @bodaciouslycrazy that sound effects would make it perfect!
First I was a bit frustrated by the controls, until I understood that I need a hook (I may got a bit distracted by the funny character animation and sound effects, glugg, glugg) and after the first successful fishing round, I had fun! Mixing up this adventure/platformer and fishing game is a very interesting turn. I really had to laugh about the fishing rod movement when walking around.
Excellent game, very original idea! The game feels polished and was easy to learn and very entertaining!
I wouldn't say I played with much strategy and foresight. Planet 1 to 10 was only "wildly clicking around" (later I picked the more promising planets), I looted every planet I scanned completely and got as far as planet 19 that way, after all. The end of the game was a bit unexpected for me. Is there any way to tell how many resources it costs to mine materials, so I can made a informed decision? Or is this "gambling" intended by you? All in all good job, I liked the graphics and the animation of the small spaceship! Compared to all the other (mostly "mining" themed games), your gameplay stood out!
That's so adorable, I can't wait until the first Game Jam with our daughter! The game is simple and easy to learn, I had fun playing it and I enjoyed the graphics and the animation of the characters (which is subtle, but it adds to the overall look and feel and is definitely worth the effort!)
Waaaaattt
This is super scary and nightmarish :D. Very atmospheric, music and graphics are great, it fits the theme perfectly!
I never stumbled upon a Minesweeper mix/crossover until now and I am blown away :D
It fits the theme, its short, it's easy to learn and entertaining. The graphics are nice. Maybe some background music would make it complete.
I'm really bad at Minesweeper, so I mainly watched explosions, but it was fun.
Another suggestion would be to place the flags not on top of the blogs but on the center of the block, so that the flag is more visible in case it is placed on the block the miner is standing.
Nice game! Very Pokemon-Snap-y, but I like it. A background reef or something would make it complete.
*squeeeeezzzeee sound*
Haha, I like this game. It's short and simple and I had to giggle. It looks polished and the artwork is cute, if you add a background jingle, it would be perfect.
I didn't know there are filled churros. Mind explosion!!
The title reminded me of this Simpsons episode? XD deepfry.jpg
What a funny game! I laughed my head off when the hammer came into play.
I like the fact that you get an acoustic feedback when a screw is targeted. The background music is also well chosen. It was a bit irritating that the screwdriver doesn't necessarily turn in the same direction as the mouse pointer, but I got used to it quickly; and with the hammer, I found the speed too slow (it drove me crazy, I wanted TO HAMMER!!! :D ). I would also have liked to know how many screws I managed - are you planning to implement a highscore?
Great little game, i enjoyed the look and feel, especially the the funny little spaceship! It's pretty hard to play though, and I barely passed the first checkpoint :D
I was really surprised by your game, it's very atmospheric and I would love to see more of it! I also didn't understand at first glance how to use the tools in the top left and what they do, and suddenly I could add blocks out of nowhere (yay!). Is there any way to read the explanation of the tools while playing? Maybe add an explanation on the game page?
Well done, it's a nice game. I especially like the little blob character. The second level's background looks a bit rough, but overall nice experience!
Great job, it really feels like a real mobile game and it really looks cool. For me, the controls were a bit tricky at first (it confused me that the diver appears on the other side of the screen once you leave the screen). But I liked the incentive to play again and again!
I really enjoyed your game! The cats are so cute and the animations are hilarious. I also really enjoyed the sound effects ("owww nowww"). It also matches very well with the theme. Good job!
That's a nice, entertaining little game. I like the idea of the currencies of life: health, money and time. However I think it would be great if those rules were more visible/obvious in the game graphic - it looked a bit generic.
I like your main character and the setting; I think the game matches the theme quite well! Playing the game, I wondered what I have to do in order to "win" the level or to proceed? How many levels are there?
Silly and funny game!
Ops... your download link is broken!
I played a few rounds and I quite like it. The tradional hand-drawn graphics are nice! Did you do the music by yourself? Overall I struggle understanding the connection with the topic...
I love the artwork, but I can't manage to play the game. Can you please provide a short description on how to play?

Deep Exorcizing: A Poltergeist Cleaning Company by ThomasTournoys 2025-04-25T21:46:59Z ♥ 1
Thanks for this nice little game! I especially like the consistent artstyle and mood, the color palette and the character design. I had the misunderstanding at the beginning that it was several different ghosts and not one that keeps changing its hiding place. It's a great little POC of the core mechanics! Well done! I scared the ghost away successfully... do I get a raise? :D
Cubethulhu by Flying Dog Fish 2025-04-25T21:30:07Z ♥ 1
@Carraka I had the exact same questions. The floaty movement made sense for me, as I am familiar with Cthulhu :D. But I also wondered if there is a mechanic that I missed to get the hearts behind the walls? I like the consistent art style and mood of the game, and descending deeper and deeper also fits the theme! Well done!
Deep Space Photography by Verbante 2025-04-25T21:07:45Z ♥ 1
I've been watching this game for a while (the mockups were very promising!) and now, at the last minute, I finally got to play it (the Post Jam HTML5 version). At first I was a bit confused because I thought I could or should move the camera section with WASD. I also overlooked the little cannon at the edge of the screen at first. But then I got the hang of it! I have to say, I really had fun! Those nervous scientists in the foreground, and the news flying in with the funny headlines. I had a good overview of the game's progress through the two jars. I love the artstyle, which is very consistent throughout the game, including the UI. Well done!!!
Trepth by Quail Weaver 2025-04-25T20:35:36Z ♥ 1
My first impression was... wargh! What is the foreground? Is this the background? Where am I? Why am I here? Am I?? :D BUT! I've gotten used to this foreground-background confusion effect, understood that there are these holes I can slip through, go deeper, and use that strategically. You used the resolution of the texture, and also the dark coloring to separate the foreground from the deeper layers, but somehow it was still hard to see at first. I like that you can play different insects - what differences did you have planned here (I played termite and ant)? I also liked that the art style is consistent, from the background images to the character designs and animations, and even the UI. I absolutely love the font XD.
Background rustling or crawling bug noises, or apple munching noises might have been cool for the atmosphere. The theme is great and the graphic style is cute, the animations look alive! Well done!

The Cleaner of the depth by Egor Iv 2025-04-15T19:45:11Z ♥ 4
I really enjoyed this little game and the enhancements with the multiple bird eating animations, the microbes and the background sound really payed off in terms of atmosphere. The game really looks quite polished, with the UI and all the sound effects. Gameplay wise it was not easy to jump-start into your game, I missed the thing with the bad tooth and wondered what triggered the jaw to close - but now that I read the instructions it was fun. I loved that the camera angle rotated and I had the impression I'm falling into the mouth of this alligator XD.
The Sunken Treasure by strong99 2025-04-15T12:43:52Z ♥ 0
That's a nice little game that you made here. It's quite complex (buying enhancements on the boat, multiple types of fish, loot boxes etc). I liked the graphics and the eye on the detail. The background sound was quite basic, but it worked setting the atmosphere - the game was nice relaxing. I agree @papykent that it's quite easy to catch fish, simply sit on a spawn point and get one fish after the other :D. I didn't quite get how to "catch" a chest, they moved away from me :D. I also didn't know how to end or "win" the game; I dived down to 140ish meters and found a ship there. The didn't use all the light-, speed- and radius enhancements since I did not see the neccessarity of it, but I think if you add predators or time limit, this would polish you game. All in all great job for the given time!!
When it Sinks by jeremyfa 2025-04-09T22:30:09Z ♥ 1
The game felt really smooth for me, and nice pleasing animations. Although you used only simple elements and texts, the shapes, colors and animations were well picked. All in all very athmospheric and it matches the theme. I have to admin that I liked that it is a short game, since I don't like to read long shaky texts on screen (lol).
Vanity Check by NoNumbersGames 2025-04-08T20:59:05Z ♥ 2
WTF did I just play XD. I was first quite repulsed by the animated background and the overall sketchy artstyle, but it was oddly satisfying with the music and it all built up to a really good atmosphere. It also fit the theme very, very well. Very original and weird.
Deep free fall by tiagokioros 2025-04-08T20:46:39Z ♥ 1
I played it on Itch.Io and it was very laggy, I was not able to play it properly. But I definately had a "OMG what is happening, why do I shoot in the air, where am I" moment :D
DEPTHS - FLOOR 404 by ybzpp 2025-04-08T20:41:25Z ♥ 1
Really athmospheric and fit the theme very well. From the sneak peak gif, I expected something different, so it was a nice surprise. I was also a bit intimidated at first from the selection of movement interactions (I'm really bad at first-person games), but I was happy that walking and carrying this fuses didn't overstrain my abilities XD. Well done!
Thats deep bro by AdamsMcCall 2025-04-08T20:24:10Z ♥ 1
I love the game pitch (with the bro in the cutscene), too bad it didn't make it in the game.
Luck Runs Out by Tenzz 2025-04-08T20:18:28Z ♥ 1
Very artsy and meta game... I liked it a lot. I also would be glad about more varying walking sounds :D but maybe it's part of the experience to endure it.
Into The Deep by clymm 2025-04-08T19:57:10Z ♥ 1
Wow, that's a really polished game for this short amount of time (and only one person who created this!). The artwork is great, not only the main character and levels, but the whole atmosphere and backgrounds, particle effects etc. The music suits it so well! I was also thankful for the hints that are placed around the level that encouraged me to go deeper and deeper. I have to admit that I always die pretty soon, and I think I need a couple of minutes in peace and quiet to learn and practise. Bookmarked for later, when the kids are in bed. Thumbs up!

Me too :( - @me when you fix it, I would be glad to play and give feedback

OMG it's a THUMB, I just thought I stumbled upon some NSFW content XD
Grimm Syndrome by Missfire 2025-04-08T19:38:58Z ♥ 2
Wow, what a polished looking game! Athmosphere and artstyle are great. I somehow got stuck in the second stage of the tidying up minigame :/ but I think I might have missed something? However the dialogues were not too long for me at all - I expected something else after I read the comments before playing. I'm really bad in rhythmn games, so I am very happy about the screenshots of the end of the game. I also would be very interested in a "let's play" video XD
Subconscious Abyss by ugly_robot 2025-04-07T20:54:29Z ♥ 2
I think you had a very good game mechanic there, which together with the description makes sense and fits the theme well. but I couldn't read the texts (they were very small) and so I just clicked on the bars without a plan. At some point I unfortunately got stuck because I couldn't click on a remaining bar.
The description on the game page here is quite crowded and scared me away first, but I'm glad I read it all and understood the game better.
It ran smooth in my browser.
Well done!
Clambell's Great Escape by botwoj 2025-04-07T20:41:18Z ♥ 2
Really nice LD game, with cute comic artstyle, well chosen sound effects and music, multiple enemies, a boss fight.. and OMG thank you for the save points. I made it to the second stage of the end boss.
Dino Rush by pixelstuff 2025-04-07T20:16:45Z ♥ 1
What a cool game! It fits the theme really well and seems really consistent in terms of graphics and sound. I love the art style, and that the surface with the museum works like an intro. I didn't realize at first that the lava comes up in several spurts and when everything is safe again, you can go back down. Deeper and deeper... and you can also dig strategically. very well thought out.

Poor Julio... by Sayeg 2025-04-07T19:51:52Z ♥ 1
What a cool idea that fits the theme very well! I also liked the character (I agree with the others who say the text/fonts and buttons don't quite match it as well) and the colors of the game. The ocean noise makes a very good mood effect. The effect of my answers seemed a bit random to me, but it was amusing to watch poor Julio. Do you know the Pixar movie βElementalβ? This reminds me a bit of it XD
Slippery Socks by Alpaca 2025-04-07T19:40:41Z ♥ 2
Funny little game, and wide color depth indeed XD. Screenshot 2025-04-07 213842.png
Pawndemonium by RascarCapackDev 2025-04-07T19:34:37Z ♥ 1
Nice little game idea that can certainly be expanded! Yes, a bit of sound feedback would have been even better, even if it was just click clack - but considering the time, it's totally okay! The art style is pretty cool and the setting - the demons and the fact that you descend deeper and deeper - fits the theme perfectly.
BucketWell by Azimiro 2025-04-07T19:20:38Z ♥ 1
Really nice little game. I enjoyed the smooth swing of the bucket and liked how the stones from above come with a warning (the dirt). Well done!
