How does your game fit the theme?
The player tries to get a probe as deep as possible, with only minor movement and limited energy for executing actions.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No third party assets where used in this project.
For the stone objects i followed a tutorial, link in game description.
As a beginner with C#, i sometimes needed to look for examples online , but nothing was copied 1:1.

Nice take on the theme and nice implementation, I especially liked the gfx!
Good job! Thx =)
Nice idea, good implementation, enjoyed it! I think what could make this game a little more interesting is maybe upgrades which you get the resources for by getting deeper. Good job! Enjoyed it!
Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback! That´s a neat idea! I´ll try to build upon this "prototype" and think about, how i possibly could implement this idea.
Unique and original game, nice
Was a bit confused about what to do, but after understanding, it was quite fun! My best is -472.45m
Glad you had fun!
Interesting mechanics, Well done :)
Thanks a lot :D
This is original controls, fits the theme perfectly. Your light effect is really nice.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
The game is fun. it took me some time . and the sound effect when it collided with a stone. its so satisfying 😍.The over all game looks so cool.
Nice game, i did not get exactly how i could go deeper at first, but i quickly managed to reach WAY deeper ! Not an easy game but the more you play the funnier it gets ! Nice work
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a cool and unique concept! Loved the sound effects! I would suggest adding some music and making it a little easier to get unstuck from flat surfaces. Great job and congrats on your first game jam submission!
Definetly need to work on that, thank you for your feedback!
Pretty fun gameplay. Bonus point for stylized sound effects
Thank you :D
Very fun game, good job.
Thanks a lot!
Wholesome Mechanics...
Glad you liked them!
Never before has a game made me fear flat surfaces before. Really enjoyed it.
Yeah, they can be horrifing :D Guess i have to rework it a little bit and adjust the danger of getting stuck on those.. Glad you had some fun!
As a lot of ppl commented on, the controls are a bit hard to learn (too many things to do in a short time frame).
Once you're stuck on a flat surface it's nearly impossible to get out. I guess you have to memorize where those flat surfaces are and avoid them ahead of time on the next run.
The extremely limited energy is a good take, and provides an unique challenge, compared to other "diving deeper and avoid obstacles" games. I really liked that.
Some music would be great. Also sound effects/particles when you boost or hit something would make the game feels much better.
Overall, a fun game to play. Notice that it's your first game, you did a great job. Well done!
Yeah, i learned, that it´s a real challenge to remind, how the player feel´s, when he start´s the game the first time. After dozens of playtest´s my controls felt rlly good, but yeah.. just for myself. Definetly trying to have that better in my mind next time.
Music and some VFX would be nice, but time just ran out, and i had to cut out those attempts. Maybe i can polish the game a little bit after the jam and add some of those, so thanks alot for your honest feedback! Feels good, that other people have some fun with my game :)
I just loved the game art and concept! Congratz on your submission
I found it a bit hard to get used to the controllers, but eventually got used to it! Solid game
Nice to know, that you liked the idea of this game :) Thanks for your feedback!
interesting concept :) its fun once you get used to how the controls feel. the controls itself are a bit of a mess, you you'll get used to them over time. Good job!
Controls seem to be the main "problem" in this game. But im happy, that you still had some fun :D Thanks for your reply
Yooo, This is great! :D
Thank you! :D
I was very surprised when I realized what the game was about. Controlling the energy of the pentagon is such a cool mechanic and it's quite enjoyable once you get used to it.
Idea: different difficulties could be implemented varying the number of sides of the polygon.
Great job!
Thank you for your feedback! Thats a cool idea, maybe i can implement that!
Bit difficult to control properly, but not bad!
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, controls need some adjustment, maybe i can rework them after the jam.
It was fun once I got the hang of it. It had a bit too many controls. The graphics underground were really cool, but on the surface a bit lacking.
This game fit the theme perfectly, and I did enjoy it!
Yeah, time went out a little bit to fast for some polishing at the end. Thanks for the feedback!
