Deep Diver is our entry for the Ludum Dare #29. Inspired by arcade classic games, we searched to have PC-engine graphic feeling with 3D graphics.
Rules: -Collect all coins and treasures -You can hunt sharks, fishes, jelly fishes.. -If a shark bite your tube, you lose one life. -Jelly fishes doesn't kill you but shock you few moments.
Hope you'll enjoy.

One of the best I've played yet! Graphics are great. I love the pump animation! I didn't realize I could just mow down the sharks to start with though.
Very good game man! Looks so so good and plays so well. Artwork looks slick, mechanics are on point. Really good game. Only thing that bothered me was that this is like the most basic thing to come up with haha. So it's not so innovative. Other than that it's REALLY cool!
Wow ! Such a beautiful game ! *o*. The music is a little bit repetitive but we can feel the spirit of the 90 arcade game :D (it could be a great Game&Watch :D)
That was awesome! Really simple and highly polished, and very enjoyable. Had some problems showing the whole thing in the browser with my screen resolution, but worked out with the browser zoom somehow. Overall, a very good entry! Protect the line, kill the fish, collect the treasure...really cool, managing all those things.
I like this. it could do with some local highscores. I liked the way things that hit your pipe hurt you that was very clever. But I must ask why there's a time limit if you are connected to the surface :P . Well done anyway.
Fantastic. I love the graphics and music. Was a game like this ever in arcades during the 80s? Because it seems a lot like something that would have been. I mean that in a good way, of course. Really fun!
Gorgeous little game, fantastic artwork, although didn't fully fit on my screen (Running Chrome at 1440x900) so had to fiddle a bit to actually even see the bottom chests. Simple and easy to play, could've done with a bit more difficulty though, never seemed to be in much danger. Music got a bit annoying after a while as well.
A simple concept, but it looks great with fitting music (although the loop became annoying after a while) and is fun to play. The difficulty was, in my opinion, well done (I even Game Over-ed at some point)!
Great art and gameplay. My general strategy was to avoid leaving any line near the edges, so that I wouldn't get ambushed. I also prioritized going deeper over clearing an entire row, since getting the bottom rows was more difficult and I'd inevitably have retract to clear some sharks/jellies anyway.
Last week, on a french TV channel dedicated to games and geeky things, in a recurring program about forgotten games, the topic was the arcade machine "anteater". This LD48 entry is such a close copy that saying "inspired by arcade classic games" is dishonest. It's a remake of one very precise game. That I get a hunch neither of us would have known about if it were not for that TV program.
It's a well made entry though. Nice graphics and animation, good feel overall. I just wish you were more upfront about your inspiration.
This is amazing. So many great design decisions in there. Not being able to double-back up, treasure chests killing all onscreen enemies, invincible player, sharks that cut your air supply. I thought it would be kind of dull, but it's so well thought out - I had a lot of fun!
Finally found another monitor to play it on ^^ Very polished game, graphics and controls are great. Too bad there is no sfx, music is good but get a bit annoying after a while ;) Great entry anyway, you guys did an awesome job!
Awesome graphics, animations and a fun to play game. I wish the air bottles would appear more often to prolong the game. And the music could use some more variation. But overall your game is really great.
Collecting coins and retracting the breathing tube before a shark bit it kept my attention. If you continue to develop this, when I got all of the coins and saw no fish and the air supply ran out, I felt confused.
Fun VERY POLISHED game! Got a highscore around 14k. After gathering all the coins I just killed all the fish until my hearts ran out. Would be nice if it had more then one level.
Wow, really good, the only thing for me that doesn't match is the music. For the first stage it was good, but for the next stages hearing the same track felt out of place.
Amazing game! Plenty of personality and polish. One small note, the game was a bit too tall for my monitor, I took some time to notice the last row with the two treasure chests.
Coooool! It's Anteater underwater! Very lovely visuals, tight gameplay, and great execution of a classic game. Music is nifty, but some sound effects would really bring the arcade feel to completion. Good work!
Interesting idea, but I don't understand where it ends... I get all the coins and get back to the surface and nothing happens! Maybe you should clarify that a little. Plus the music is really repetitive...you might want to get a loop that doesn't last only 10 seconds. Overall, pretty good.
Very well made game, looks quite polished, good use a few sound effects and something that makes gameplay change as you got higher levels, but otherwise just about perfect little game.
That was brosome! =) The music is excellent, art is top notch and the overall polish is really good! My only concern is with the wall texture (the grey coral)... Not really at the same level as the other parts, which is sad as they constitute the game area.
The music was really heady, I'm sure Marine & me will have it stuck in mind for next few days...
