How Deep is Your Love by Bruno Cafe
How Deep Is Your Love is a 2D/3D runner that will make you literally fall in love, in the water. Your ol' pirate heart will be taken by surprise chasing a mermaid as you defend yourself against very unfriendly ocean critters. Love is really a game, and the deeper you follow this feeling, the more likely you are to die from heartache.
How Deep Is Your Love é um runner em 2D/3D que vai te levar, literalmente, num mergulho apaixonante. O seu coração pirata vai ser arrebatado e perseguir o amor de uma sereia enquanto você se defende de criaturas marinhas pouco amigáveis. O amor é mesmo um jogo, e quanto mais fundo você vai atrás desse sentimento, mais probabilidade você tem de morrer de amor.

But the itch.io page wasn't found; could you update it, please?
Keep up the good work!
A small game but a good one, I really love the pixel art!
While gameplay is good (though the game is short, which is not a problem in this case at all), it is the graphical charisma that really does the most for the game. And seeing a pixelated pirate brings in that warm Monkey Island feeling. The whole game is like a mermaid, it is a love on first sight, even though you can't really do much with it. Very nice job.
Animations are great. The level flow and difficulty ramp was just right. Music and sounds are on point! And what an ending twist!
Really good job!
My one improvement suggestion would be to tune the player position to be near the top of the screen so that the used field of view is more player-friendly. It will give players a little more time to react to newly spawned obstacles, and make it feel totally fair if the player gets hit.

I admit that it's the visuals that attracted me here but I was pleasantly surprised by an interesting gameplay, I started again a few too many times to improve my score but at one point I found myself stuck in the hollow of a boat :c
Bravo for your game otherwise ♥
To mais feliz ainda em saber que foi um time BR, parabéns galereee! Vocês se garantiram, deixaram meu coração mais quentinho em encontrar mais brasileiros por aqui! :smile_cat:

I also liked the combination of pixel art and 3D assets in the game, or atleast for the cutscenes.
It is a short but fun game which I cant praise more
Played this on my stream yesterday if you want to check out the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1005643301?t=00h03m00s
I didn't find love, love found me. And I lost my damn mind.
Would be nice to have an exit option on the main menu - unless I missed it. I just alt-F4ed.
Strengths :
- Cool aesthetic and audio
- Straightforward gameplay and controls
- Excellent level design and balance
Possible improvements :
- Some ennemies seem to be teleporting ; not a big issues, but the large tentacles can be...troublesome :smile:
What a great opening cutscene! Amazing job putting everything together despite your aforementioned setback, which I'm sure must have been disheartening.
Nicely polished little game! Art + music were quite nice, and the ending was great :D
- Cool Idea
- Liked the obstacles
- I don't know what the blank space was for
Nice game, loved the music from the menu :3
I played two times because I wanna see again the bloody ending
Altogether, very polished entry, great job!
Great job, guys :)
You would come first place in the humor category for that twist ending!
