Amazing game! You sold the atmosphere fantastically. I found it a bit tricky to get used to the flipper controls, but I think it was a good choice :)
I hope you continue this, caving games are rare and I think this game is one of the best out there
Thank you so much :) yeah the controls are pretty peculiar but I wanted to do something different than just "hold W to move forward".
Yeah I'm definitely going to continue it. Got a lot of ideas for it. Should release it on itch/steam next year some time.
Hey man
How are things going on your end?
I’m really impressed by the incredible work you’ve put into this game. Your dedication and skill are evident in every detail, and it’s clear you’ve poured your heart into creating something truly special. With that level of effort, I believe the game has tremendous potential.
Would you be open to exploring ways to build a strong community around the game, increase the player base, and gain traction? I’ve helped some games achieve just that with tailored strategies, and I’m confident that together we can bring your game to even greater heights. I’d love to help you reach a wider audience and ensure the long-term success of the game.
Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in!
This seems like a really cool game. The control scheme and atmosphere are excellent. I had to give up though as I get easily frustrated with games where the flashlight battery runs out so fast! :)
Hey, thanks for playing :)
You also have flares! And you can change the batteries on the flashlight.
Yeah, both times I played I still ran out though and ended up fumbling around in the darkness with just the glowsticks left! :)
very good game! I just felt a little lost with the controls
Yeah they can take a bit of getting used to. I was going to add a simplified/accessibility version as well but ran out of time.
Ok, no problem, your game is very good, I also ran out of time for my game¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Very good game its bit hard to control the character but I still like the game anyway well done keep it up!
Thank you :)
Exactly why I never certified to cave dive. Got lost immediately. Good game.
I'd love to go cave diving (in theory) but I know I'd definitely just have a panic attack and probably drown. So I'll just stick to making games about things I'll never do 😅
Stick with open water and never look back.
