How does your game fit the theme?
In the game you have to get down to the earths core and defeat the bad guys, therefore you are "Diving Deeper".
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, I didn't. The music was taken from thirdparty artists, however I did credit them accordingly.

This is ass!
Great game! I really enjoyed the fast movement and shooting! Also when I died the first time and respawned thinking it would be the same - I was amazed to see the level change and the mocking, little tricks you added - great touch! Well done!
Really cool game! I love the intro and the cutscene! However I noticed that some levels were about skill and being fast, and some were about being snicky and sniping enemies form far away, which didn't feel very nice. I would recommend for you to stick with one of the options (Personally I prefered the fast one :P). But overall really solid game!
Great game I loved it! Starting off I loved the first cut-scene the idea was also nice. However I did find some problems in the game. Bullets seem to not register sometimes which is weird. After I died I couldn't respawn which was weird. I love that you added particles a lot of people never add that stuff in game jams and it becomes very noticeable after a while. Other than that it's a solid game. Good job!
Thanks for playing!
There's a lot of good here, the intro was cool and the game moves quickly. There are a few things that could be added to improve the feel for the player:
The ammo counter is bugged. Once you full screen it disappears and does not return, even if you exit fullscreen.
The enemies could use a more significant hit sound or effect, like is on the player.
The gun sprite should be flipped when aiming to the left, currently it just turns upside down from the rotation.
On death it seems like the game just freezes, with no restart button other than reloading the page.
Overall what you have is pretty fun, actually pretty incredible for a first game, and with some small tweaks it could be even better.
Thanks for playing! These UI bugs you've encountered are only in the web build of the game, I didn't have much time to work on that so if you want to expierence the full game feel free to download the original! Thanks for your feedback!
speed runned with only running ahahaha, the enemy ai is not strong but i really like the concept, please change jumping button to space next time, nice game design!
Thanks for playing! Hope you had fun!
It's a great simple game! I think what would really make it pop would be more feedback and juice on the shooting. Screen shakes, particles, bigger projectiles. Add them all until you feel satisfied with how it plays °°
Yeah you're right about that, the game did have screenshake but for some reason when I exported the game the shakes weren't there, thanks for playing! Hope you had fun!
I like the shooting platforms and your game is great in that. I give up because jumping was hard between platform, double jump didn't work .
Thanks for playing! Next time ill make the movement more user friendly!
Nice game! Only improvement I can come up with is to let you double jump in midair.
Yeah you're right, the double jumping was a bit odd.
Great game with simple controls.
Thanks for playing!
Fun game! A little bit hard. I think a few more items or destructible objects would have made the game more amusing to play. Overall, well done!
Big thanks for playing! Hope you had fun!
Fun and fast-paced, double jumping is very hard though and hurts my hand difficulty could also be reduced a bit :)
Thank's for playing! Noted.
Great game, and very fun to play
Thanks!
Pretty hard to double-jump to be honest, otherwise it was fun. I only reached around level 15 though, but that's propably just my skill issue :)
Thanks for playing, the game is very hard, and I have realised that after I other played it, I didn't playtest the game properly since I didn't have much time. Again, thanks for playing!
Great game and quite addictive and a bit difficult

Thanks for playing it! I'll make sure to play your game soon!
👍👍👍
okie so I played it, Great game nicely done!!!! I wish there was a bit more of a difficulty curve and a tutorial to let you figure out exactly how the game works not just what buttons to push. I experienced only 2 bugs(and for that I must say nicely done) the ammo I needed kept moving out of bounds which made me need to restart a LOT also I kept getting halfway stuck inside the walls. I could just move out but it does not seem intentional. the jumping controls were very frustrating to me and I kept press space then seeing a death screen over & over. Graphics were great, sound and the one song worked together REALLY well. I never beat it but I tried my best. It would also be great to add some extra hearts every here and there. great job and I hope you had fun!!!
Thanks for your feedback! I really rushed the controls so that's probably why you didn't have a good time moving around, also thanks for pointing the difficulty curve out, I'll work on that!
Well done! Had fun playing it, never made it though. Some levels were hard, especially the ones where you fell into enemies. Other than that it was good with tutorial and easy to get started. I really liked the extra effort in UI and some text in the levels. Nice detail. Good job!
Thanks a lot! I'll pay attention next time the difficulty.
