Ranked from 161 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
As you dive deep, you're on a tight countdown as your air supply counts down. The theme is tied into multiple mechanics: the countdown triggered whenever you hit a bomb, an orca descending at regular intervals to devour you, or even the Minesweeper-style gameplay itself.

WOW!! I did not expect to see a game that I would probably pay for in a 4 day game jam. Everything works toghether to make such a great game. The only suggestion I can make is to maybe make the explosion hitbox a bit smaller, sometimes I felt like I was vey far away but still got hit.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback (personally I agree!).  Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Probably my favourite game of the jam so far, genuinely well done! Really fun take on minesweeper, and it's incredibly polished!

Developer

Aw thanks so much :) Thanks for taking the time to play! Happy to have impressed you.

This game is so polished and gorgeous. Love how smooth ui is and the animations. I especially love how you incorporated shop purchases so seamlessly during a run. It really inspires me for my own games. The team has done a wonderful job on this game!

Developer

Awww shucks ://)
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the nice words. The jam was certainly full of inspiration, and I'm glad you got some from this game!

Peak! RNG sometimes frustrated me and I was upset I couldn’t use my extensive Minesweeper knowledge to use, but other than that, the game was incredible! Incredible visuals, audio and a very interesting concept.

Played at 4:00:55 @ https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3 Incredibly polished!! You can probably just make it into a full game and I'd buy it!

Developer

I'm really bad at this game but it is a genius idea and a very well done game.

Loved the visuals too!

Developer

Didn't expect a platformer mine-sweeper, but this game turned out pretty polished. I find this creative and interesting. I can envision a full game that could come out of it as well. Good job!

Mr driller would have been proud of this one, nice game :D

Developer

Hahahaha Mr. Driller made an appearance a couple of times in our discord messages, I think he would be happy with us.

Thanks for playing!

Very cool and addicting game! I couldnt figure out how to actually purchase stuff from the shop...

Developer

tysm !! you need to hover over the item you want to buy for 2 seconds, like this :

yeah concept is great... i like it 

Developer

Glad you like it, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

a minesweeper sidescroller is a great concept! I loved the art as well, I could tell a lot of work was put in. great job.

Developer

haha can confirm a lot of work was put into this game, from all fronts, thanks for noticing, and thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Love the minesweeper style! My only one small gripe: I wish bombs would just reduce the timer instead of making you wait 3 actual seconds haha, I want to keep digging non-stop even when hit!!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing!

Diamond in the rough!

Wow thank you so much! Lots of great games this jam, glad you find this game one of them, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed your multiple tie-ins to the jam theme: air running low, descending the depths, bomb countdowns. I had a lot of fun going deep :)  What's the best you've seen someone get to? 

Developer

Our programmer ozerlo has gotten all the way to the third biome in the video in the itch page, me personally definitely cannot get that far though, so kudos to whoever does.

Developer

Insane for a game jam. I wish I was better at mine sweeper.

Developer

Jams can surprise you in that way, though honestly, I was also surprised at what we were able to build. Thank you so much, and thanks for playing!
