LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Just Defuse the Bomb!! by AndrewDavidJ 2021-04-27T22:07:26Z

Unfortunate that you didn't quite finish it! I can see the makings of an interesting game here. Once you figure out what's happening it's a bit too easy to figure out what you have to do next, but solving that puzzle was kinda neat.

This reminds me a lot of a brilliant game called [Nest, by Jonathan Whiting](https://jonathanwhiting.com/ld/37/). I think you're sitting on something that could be equally special, if you clean it up a little.

Turning the Doki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros 2 digging into an arcade-style decision-making game is a very cute idea. The controls could use some tuning---a little punchier, a tiny bit faster---and then add more and longer levels to match, and you'd have something really special on your hands here. But within the confines of a game jam, this is a great submission.

It's a little too dark to see what the level looks like, and too hard to tell if you're having any effect on the hostiles. The jump also doesn't seem to have any purpose except to fall out of the level.

But all that said, the vibes were great and surprisingly intricate. The pressure of checking the oxygen meter and weighing whether or not I can afford to fight really came across, and the visuals had a great juxtaposition of cute little dudes against a dingy monster-filled sewer. I don't think I'm explaining myself well, but it hit me in just the right way.

The camera was too high up, so it was hard to see below you when you were dropping into a room. Cute little platformer though!

Beautiful art. Very squishy and silly vibes. Great little game.

Great idea for a platforming puzzle game. Collision is a little unforgiving which makes the floaty controls a little tough to use but the level of thought and polish put into the design was refreshing.

Quite the innovative idea for gameplay. It doesn't feel like the player has any agency over where their water goes once you get to depth 50-100, because there's no reliable way to dig sideways unless you find a pocket of air or get a big bedrock beneath you. But the fundamental idea is very interesting!

@energizedblast I don't know, it needs some brainstorming and testing. The easy way out would be to make more air pockets that let you have more chances to make meaningful choices. Something a little more spicy might be to give the spout some directionality---maybe you hold left click and then drag left or right to aim the water a bit.
