DiverDeep by Cope

[raw]
made by Cope for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

DiverDeep is a small game my friends and I created for the Ludum Dare 48 Jam.

The diver is sinking to the bottom of the ocean and has limited oxygen. The sea creatures are aggressive and will cause the diver to lose oxygen if they collide.

Instructions:

  • Control the diver's fall using WASD.
  • Avoid colliding with any sea creatures.
  • Sink deeper and deeper until there are too many sea creatures to avoid.
  • Brag about your score in the comments.

Damn that song is a bop.

Pretty fun overall. It might have been more satisfying if there were some animations or something. Definitely worth playing tho

Nice, i like when game is getting harder and harder when you go deeper. Would be good if there was some animations but overall playing this game is fun.

Really simple to learn and really fun! That soundtrack also bangs. I also like that even though it gets pretty hectic later on, you still feel like you're in control and are able to dodge stuff.

Nice game , great music (which reminds me of how i'm unable create something like that :) ), quickly turn into a bullet hell. I think it would've been better with mouse control instead of wasd.

Thanks for participating in the jam!

Best thing about this entry for me was the music.

Simple easy to understand gameplay. The one thing I was frustrated by was the character movement was very weighty, like it felt like the movement pickup took too long, which was hard because of how rapidly things were approaching.

Nice work.

256 meters! Nice music and I liked the art, but as said by others I'd prefer less weighty movement, perhaps no momentum at all. Nice job!

Cool game, simple but still fun. It did feel like the character was a bit awkward to control. This became especially noticeable when you got deeper and there was more stuff to dodge.

Simple little game. Audio reminded me of some Amiga games from days passed. Great job at this take of Keep Away.

gratz on the music,that was the highlight.

nice and simple game,i would have played more if controls were more fun. It is better to avoid ramping up the speed and just give snappier movement on these style of arcade games
