How does your game fit the theme?
In this wonderful platformer you will dive down into an ancient well as the new Well Diver! Find your ways through the old ruins and the treasures that hide within. But exploring is not your only task, as the treasured fish you find are needed to keep your civilization alive. Balance your travels between going to the surface to deliver the fish and diving deeper downwards to find what truth really lays below.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, everything, from code to UI, all sprites, all done in Unity.

This was great! I loved the visual style of the game!

Very cool game. The art is straight up awesome! I personally think you could treat the player bias a bit more (with adding something like a coyote time). Still very cool game, you should keep working on it!

This is fun! I saw it last night when I submitted mine. Great minds think alike, and so cool to see the direction you took this idea. Saw you checked out my submission earlier--thank you!

Great work! This is really well polished: the art is lovely, the music is really sweet and you even managed to throw in a story. The last Well Diver really must have sucked though because he left pretty much all the fish untouched. In all honesty, great job.

Very lovely art style. Whilst the mechanic forcing the player to return to the surface was cool, I did find it frustrating to get deeper, die, and have to restart all over. Otherwise, very polished. I liked the audio elements too, definitely helped pull this together without relying heavily on music.

Nice art! I feel like I died to much for landing on top of some platforms, it's a cool machanic but felt so frustrating, maybe you can up the max landing speed? The storytelling was great!

This looks and feels really good! One thing I couldn’t help but notice - The walking sound effects are waay to slimy. Kid needs a shower.

Such a cute game! I like the premise of getting food for a starved civilization, and I really like the art. Very good submission!

The game looks good, little advice from friend: do not use the esc key when the game is on a web page because it removes the full screen

Oh we didn't realise this. Thanks for mentioning this!

I got stuck at the beginning. I couldn't figure out what button to push to close the scroll window.

Hello! You can close the prompt with the "Q" button.

I'm fond of the giant well structure and the rope in the middle that you always come back to. The whole thing is kinda similar to the game I made, I wanted it to take place inside a giant well too but didn't have time to make it so °° 

I think it could be great to have checkpoints as you go further down, as death can happen really quickly it can be a bit frustrating to miss a jump and start over

Quite simple, but overall good game. The art is beautiful, the game fits the theme. For only one week and such a small team, I'd say it's a pretty solid game!

Cheers!

Thank you for the nice comment! We had a lot of fun creating it :)
