Going deeper in retro!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. I love the retro style chosen for this game! It looks great and works together!
  2. The sound design is fantastic! 
  3. The enemies aren't hard nor easy, its a perfect middle ground.

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. All I can think about is adding some chiptune music in the background, and thats about it!

Overall 📓

This game feels very polished, you should be proud of this game, because I had alot of fun playing it! Great job on this one!

Developer

Thank you  so much for trying it out and the review <3

The game it's easy and nice. it is too easy and after a little bit became ripetitive , you should make the enemies more challenging, I can easily kill them shooting a lot. I notice also a little bug, sometimes some enemies outside the game (on the rocks). My record in one play was 433.

Also when you get kill it doesn't reset the depth counter.

Really great work on the style and sound design! Very fun and addictive gameplay too.

I noticed some minor technical issues in that depth doesn't reset and the depth record isn't recorded, but those don't really affect gameplay so it's not a massive issue.

thank you trying it out and the feedback

Good work still!! :D

The game is very well made, uses the theme well. 

I do feel that if you are going to have a firing mechanic with a cooldown but no other limitations, you should be able to keep firing by holding the button down. Especially after getting the firing speed upgrade, the rapid clicking gets tiring on the hands. 

I also think losing the weapon after one hit is pretty harsh, the randomization means that sometimes enemies will be blocking your only path, so with no way to shoot them you have to take another hit and possibly die.

Also nice use of a limited color palette.

Interesting game! I really like the visuals and the colors. It was a little easy though and it would be nice to have increasing difficulty or somnething... Good job!

Developer

thank you so much for trying out the game, really appreciate the feedback, I did implement a difficulty curve, however, it seems like it was too slow and minute that players are not noticing.

Graphics are nice. Audios are nice. Well polished game. It was a bit easy other than that good job!

Can you try and rate my game ?

Very cute diving game. Unlike our game which is a bit too difficult for a GameJam game I think this was a bit too easy. I played until like 300m and I felt I could just keep going indefinately.  We also did procedural levels BTW! But intead of deep sea creatures we had cats. 

Congrats on completing this project! Would you like to try our entry?

Developer

Thanks!!!

I can see Mariana's Trench is a common theme around here! :D

This is a simple but well made game! the controls are simple, and it starts off easy! The foreground and background rocks were challenging to differentiate, and I don't know if there was supposed to be any audio, but this is definitely a game I would enjoy in my passtime!

Developer

Thank you so much, much appreciated.
