How does your game fit the theme?
Only Down follows the Diving Deeper theme through digging downwards, towards the core of the earth.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I wrote the code, and did most of the sprite work, while my sister helped with the sound FX and the TNT sprite work. Everything was from scratch. :)

Switching tools depending on the block is a nice mechanic, the heatstroke mechanic is a great way to keep the pressure on the player to go quickly as well.
Some music would be a nice addition!
Great idea! Very fun to play
Fun game. Great graphics. Only wish there was a key to toggle tools on the keyboard.
fun game!
Pretty fun.
It's like the idea that i had for my game, only better!
Nice entry!, the player is too slippery and tool swap should have only been with the mouse
Very nice game overall. I wish it included BG music as well.
Ty! Yea... Music is smth I'm considering spending more time into!
This game was good. I honestly wasn't a big fan of it. The item switching mechanic felt to clunky and could have been just one button press to switch instead of two different buttons. I also felt the player was a bit to slippery for this type of game, I feel it would have been better if the player just snapped to the different rows of the mine. I honestly really like the idea but just the way it is in this game just felt not that good.
thanks for trying it out! The idea of making the player snap to different rows never came across my mind :0 It's honestly a really good idea. If I ever work on something similar in the future I'll be sure to experiment more on the player controller :)
Fun different idea. Nice graphics. Keep it up!
tyty! Definitely will!
Fun lil game, I loved the art and also the digging deeper mechanic was really well implemented. Having to switch between a spade and pickaxe was a nice touch.
ty! Glad you enjoyed the game! ^-^
Pretty nice game! Simple concept that works great and youve got some depth with it with the stamina, tool switching, and tnt. Something that definitely was missing was some music to jam to while playing but was fun to go through and had a nice level of challenge
Thank you for the in depth review! I really tried to focus on overall fun and challenge with this game jam so I greatly appreciate it :) music is definitely a feature I'll put more consideration into next time!
beautiful drawings
Thank you! I love to draw so it's a relief that it turned out well!
Good looking game and an interesting gameplay idea
Tyty, glad you enjoyed it ^-^
Pleasant Experience. Nice Game!
Pleasant Experience. Nice Game!
Ty for trying it!
Pleasant simple graphics and simple gameplay though there is a lack of music
haha yep, definitely something worth considering for future jams. Music is for sure one of my weaknesses x.x
Very fun, very good looking, only lack of some music maybe but overall its great
Thanks for the compliment! And yep music is definitely something I'm planning to work on in the future.
with music your games will be too good
Very cool game. Reminds me of the minecraft minigame!
haha ya, the blocky tiles rlly reminded of minecraft as well when I was making it XD
Game looks great! Really enjoy the aesthetic and everything feels very punchy and engaging. Great job!
ty! Means a lot to me, i really tried to convey the overall feel with this one :)
