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 work! I enjoyed the mechanics.
Thank you for your feedback!
Interesting concept, and I liked the art and audio paired with it! I will point out, like some others have, that the controls didn't really properly work for me and felt unnatural. I think the game could benefit a lot from cutting down on that and finding a simpler approach. Otherwise, nice game :)
Yeah, controls are a huge point! It´s interesting to see the difference, as for me the controls felt rlly good. The fate of a game dev, who tests the game dozens of times, i guess :D Glad you still had some fun with the game, thanks a lot for the feedback!
Yes I completely understand :D for example, when we were playtesting and didn't have time to implement an ability cooldown, it felt okay and nice because we had to get through levels fast. Realised after submission though that many thought it was sorely needed. You learn by doing I guess :D
Game Design is good
Simple but interesting game design. A good project for a starter. Keep it up!
Good idea for a game. Simple graphics and mechanics. Missing music effects
Interesting game, I like the high score system of trying to get as far down as possible, and it's cool that there's a replayable aspect to the game since you get more energy relative to your best depth, though I don't know if it feels significant enough of a energy boost to matter.
I think one thing that could make the game more fun is reworking the controls, as they feel kind of weird; Q and E to rotate probably could've been A and D, or the left/right arrow keys, as that feels more natural. There's also a lot of mechanics to control; I know the controls are listed on the side, but I think simplifying the mechanics would make it easier to play, as I only need to keep track of a few keys at a time.
Overall though, this is a really solid game for your first game jam, well done! Great job on submitting this entry!
Hey,
thank you for your kind feedback! The controls definetly need a rework, it´s the main point i got as a feedback in the comments. Will see, what i can do after the jam. Glad you still had some fun!
