The dwarves! They've dug to deep! They've awakened the beast in the depths, and that beast is... you. A cute little slime.
In They Dug Too Deep you play as a slime that starts in the depths of a dwarven mine, and your mission is to jump up through the mine and kill as many dwarves as possible.
Killing enough dwarves allow you to evolve and grow stronger, but don't slow down, the longer you wait the stronger the dwarves get. See how long you can survive in the mines, and how many dwarves you can take down.
I'm quite happy with how this game turned out, I didn't think I would have enough time to as much as I was able to do, but still, a lot of features had to be left out.
I would also like to apologize for any bugs you find, as well as the very cluttered main menu. The main menu was done very quickly, and was my solution for giving the game some story, as well as learning the player HOW TO PLAY.
I hope you enjoy, and as always with my games, please leave feedback, as well as post your highest score and highest time.
Yo, i loved it. the only problem was the slowdown I would get. also wall jumps felt strange.(I think it might be a good idea to keep the player stuck to wall for .5 seconds after releasing the key)
Hi! Yes, I know there are drops in framerate, this is because of poorly written custom engine, and there were not a lot of time to fix it during this Ludum Dare.
- Worked ok at first but the couple times I played I got to a point where I couldn't jump high enough to reach the next ledge. - Ah ok, after reading comments I discovered there is a wall jump. - wall jump feels good, i like how it sticks there - Framerate started getting really choppy after a while. - Soild effort overall!
I played twice and got 39 dwarves in 1:05 both times, so it must be fate!
Overall I liked the art style and the mechanics seemed pretty solid. It definitely felt like I was a monster as the dwarfs screamed and exploded into a bloody fountain!
However, as others have mentioned there were some frame rate issues. It wasn't so bad when it was consistently slow, but then something would happen and the game would go into hyperspeed.
Love the concept, though its hard to wall jump up, and several times I couldnt reach a platform... I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/fxtKngYPsCg
