A good logic game. Creative idea and good contols.

Submitted

I really enjoyed 'Deep Dive.' The chase sequence at the end was unexpected but fun, and the color choice was visually pleasing. It's a unique take on the theme 'Diving Deeper.' Good job!

Submitted

i enjoyed the chase sequence at the end. its unexpected, yet fun. i also really like the color choice you settled on, it's very pleasing to look at :) its overall a pretty unique take on the theme. Good job!

Submitted

First of all, the game looks very cute. I have a soft spot for this kind of art style. The puzzles were pretty fun and not too challenging. The music and the sounds were a little repetitive, but you get points for making it yourself. I like that you interwove some lore in and your overall take on the theme was pretty clever. Great work!

Submitted

Simple and cute puzzle game! I liked that you wrote the music yourself. I do wish you gave an option to use WASD or the num pad arrows because my arrow keys are broken, which made the lava part kinda challenging. Still finished it though, and I enjoyed the game!

Developer

Sorry about that. I didn’t have much time to fit wasd on the game.

Submitted

Music was cute, difficulty was just right for its length.  Solid game!

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

I actually enjoyed this one more than the others!

great job!

Developer(+1)

I appreciate you playing it 

Submitted

Graphics are simple but rather pleasent. Gameplay is definitely to theme.

The little bits of story you worked into there were a nice touch, made the gameplay feel more meaningful. The difficulty level felt about right for me, despite having not playing that many puzzle games before. It felt like there was a good amount of variety between levels. You made good design decisions overall.

For improvements, a bit more work is needed on the sound design. The music gets a bit repetitive, and the digging sound isn't great to listen to. Remember, its worth 16.666667% of Ratings this Jam! A particle effect for the digging would also be cool, rather than just a black circle.

Overall, a neat puzzle game. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t realize how important music an sound was, as I only spent a couple minutes making sounds.

Submitted

Nice little funny game! I liked the idea and story of it, although I will say the music can be a little bit repetitive at times.

Developer

I wasn’t too concerned about the music. I think it could’ve been a bit better too. I had only spent about 5 minutes with it.

Submitted

really nice, challenging and well developed puzzle game! Great Job!

Developer

I’m glad you enjoyed it

Submitted

I love the idea!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. The actual gameplay was alot of fun! I enjoyed the experience of getting through all the puzzles!
  2. The sound effects were actually pretty well done!
  3. I liked the overlay you chose with the lava poring through!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. I did feel a little bit lost with all the teleporters, maybe you could color code them? I feel that it might make it easier for the player.

Overall 📓

You did a great job on this game! I had fun playing it, and I could see myself actually paying money for this experience! Cant wait to see what you have planned next for a game!

Developer

Thanks. I might make this a full release

Submitted

Nice concept, great work!

Developer

Thanks.

Submitted

Liked it! Cool puzzle game ^^

Developer

Good job completing it. Thanks for playing it!

Submitted

Fun game, holding down D got a bit annoying but apart from that it was quite good. 

Developer

Thanks! I think I also could’ve made digging a bit less tedious

Submitted

Cute game. Creative and fun idea. Nice for a jam but I would recommend adding more wrong path and more puzzle style levels. Keep it up!

Can you try and rate my game ?

Developer

I’ll do it if I find time. I might also make this a full release one day.

Submitted

Neat game. I liked the sequence at the end, and the connected layer system. My main issue was the audio. Digging sound effect drove me a little crazy. Other than that, nice game :)

Developer

Thanks for enjoying it. It was really difficult to find a good dig sound, but I gave it my best shot.

Submitted

Cool little game! Having the layers be places you come in and out of as part of one big level, instead of the layers just being their own levels, was a great idea. The ending was great too.

Developer

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I tried to think of a unique twist with the theme, and this was it.

Submitted

Nice concept, and different so far from everything I've played! The digging sound was not for me ':D otherwise I liked the puzzles.

Developer(+1)

I had trouble for finding a good dig sound, but thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I really enjoyed this, the puzzles are simple and intuitive but fun, the escaping from the lava at the end was really cool

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

This is one of my favourite so far! I think its a great take on the theme, the placing of the game was good, i managed to beat the lava and get too the end after a few attempts!

Developer

I tried to make a game with a unique take on the theme. Thanks!
