How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a submarine traveling as deep as possible into the ocean. During the game you fight off different ocean life and avoid plastic debree etc.
A pretty literal interpretation of "Diving Deeper" :)
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No. I used a package for making leaderboards and also downloaded some audio clips from online. Everything else was made from scratch.

Yep, a fun game! The gameplay is really enjoyable, and the little it has is well-made. I'd say well done! Also the leaderboard is awakening something inside of me.

Must Go DeeperSurviving The Deep is a visually appealing and engaging game with impressive pixel art and sound effects that immerse players in an underwater world. The combat and difficulty progression are well-executed, providing a satisfying challenge. The explanation of end-of-game scores could be clearer to enhance the overall experience.

Deep Stone CosmicFun to play! I loved the effects you used on everything to give it the water look and the glow. Fighting was very satisfying. My only confusion was the scores at the end, what was the difference between them and how do you get a higher score in one vs the other?

Houston...This was really fun to play and it felt polished. I especially enjoyed it when the difficulty began ramping up and it became really overwhelming with sharks coming in, with so many projectiles arising from the bottom!
P.s thanks for using my leaderboard creator! Glad it was able to help you out :)

Diving Through HellHey, this game was really fun and addicting! Loved the aiming and shooting mechanics as well as the massive amounts of fish hordes you have to defeat. Controls were pretty fluid though maybe there could be some other ways to attack rather than just a simple rapid fire shot. Fun game, I managed to get a score of 995!

Descent into Var ExtremesFun shooting mechanics, felt good to mow down hordes of fish. I did find that the bullet explosion particles were a little big, they made it hard to see what was going on sometimes. Also the powerups were hard to get, it was always sad when they floated away, so some way to get those easier like a harpoon gun might have been cool.
Actually, are there other weapons? The cooldown bar on the bottom right made me think there were, but I never saw any, just some powerups.
Overall, nice game, I liked it.

Scuba Steve's Salvage SquadGreat Game!!!! I had a ton of fun. I wish there was more sound/ music to the game. It was very hard and I never really won but still really fun. The graphics were AMAZING and the animations were clean. really high quality. I don't think I ever really got to "dive deeper" but it still fits the theme alright. Again GREAT GAME hope you had fun :)
