Fun little shooting gallery - reminded me that I am bad at shooting galleries :laughing:

Enjoyed the shiny surprise at the bottom!

I'm afraid the website isn't loading for me!

Deep Guild by argensis 2025-04-07T16:29:50Z

@argensis DNS wasn't resolving for me at the time, but it is working now! I was able to play for a bit

Love the stretchy physics and the narration style. Managed to bug the physics out a couple of times, but I know that's a rough thing to tune just right on a short timescale.

Igbi Goes Deep by Jared Saizdelamora 2025-04-07T11:59:32Z

I was able to play it on the itch.io page, but I haven't figured out how to get past the locked door in the starting area yet

Focus! by grid96 2025-04-07T07:45:48Z

Really clever interpretation of "depth". I'm not the biggest point-and-click fan, but that was entertaining, and not too hard to figure out the sequence. Kudos for the unusual game development setup too!

I enjoyed the path-placement mechanic, and the grimdark narrative flourishes before each level set a great tone. Definitely something worth exploring here.

The Depths of Planet Z73 by LanaLux 2025-04-07T16:13:46Z

This is really expansive on a compo deadline, well done!

Deep Fishing by SharpLoaded 2025-04-07T07:36:27Z

Reminds me of Ridiculous Fishing, very enjoyable.

DEPTH CHARGE by JovialKnoll 2025-04-07T13:53:15Z

I love the concept, works well with the theme! Mac build ran fine for me (on an M2 MacBook) except it was blocked by System Integrity Protection (launching it from the terminal is an easy way to bypass). Also found the keyboard controls pretty challenging. Persistent explosions are interesting, but found the enemies backed me into a corner pretty fast if I wasn't playing like missile command and shooting down all their torpedos

Dark Pit by Haokai XU 1999 2025-04-07T15:28:18Z

Runs fine on Mac (once I overrode SIP in system settings -> Security). I like the idea behind the flashlight freezing moving objects. Not the easiest platformer, I fell many times!

In Solar system depths by gbegreg 2025-04-07T09:32:09Z

I like the ambition here, but I'm experiencing pretty severe input issues on the Mac (ARM) build. The keyboard input is being treated as if it's textfield entry, which means the cursor keys are triggering the system error beep, and holding down any of the letter keys pops up the accent-entry popup.

Debts in the Depths by Reaktori 2025-04-07T14:14:28Z

That's a really meaty game for a compo entry, good variety of units and map layouts, well done!
