"Dig Deeper & Deeper: Go Deep" is a puzzle game made for the Ludum Dare 48. The theme was "Deeper and Deeper".

You have to dig your way to the bottom of a bottom-less pyramid, solving puzzles and making the rocks roll and destroying sand. The deeper you go, there will be some other obstacles and deep enough you might find treasure with magic properties, but the goal is always to go deeper and deeper.

I just noticed that there is already a game with this name in the jam. Unfortunately I can't change the name. My apologies. The official name will be : "Dig Deeper & Deeper: Go Deep".

This was fun! Thanks for making it. I didn't get particularly far in because I found the puzzles too hard. But really cool vibe and neat to see a puzzlescript game in the compo.

I'm far to tired to be playing this game. That being sad this game was so good that even though I am tired after jamming that I still tried to give it my best shot. I really like this graphical style of very chunky low resolution pixel art. You sound effects for digging and picking up bolders also worked very well. I am about as smooth brained as they come so I won't say much about your puzzles other than that I when I figured out the solution I felt satisfied.

Hey! this is a really cool game! The undo mechanic is really great. I really liked the simplicity of it as well. (you can only dig, and pick up and throw rocks) Nice job.

Amazing puzzle game with a lot of potential. The puzzle style is something I have never seen before. And that makes that a bit hard to learn. But once you get the hang of It. You actually feel like you done something literally no one else has done before. Overall, fun and simple game.

I loved the arcade feel and the puzzle design. A simplified and elegant design. I would imagine myself playing it on the gameboy.
Difficulty curve is nice, but maybe add a hit if people takes to long to find a solution, but that would be an extra feature, the game is fine the way it is.
Nice entry.

I really like the concept, the stripped-down gameplay mechanics and the pixel art. However, the puzzles were too hard for me :sweat_smile:
I got stuck even as early as level 2, so it might be a good idea to experiment with some easier puzzles first if you're looking to keep working on the game. Great job!

Very difficult game, but I loved. I wasnt able to go further cause im probably stupid hahaha. Nice graphics, just few tips for future: music, sound effects and when die to dont force the player to press R. Many people doesnt know about that! Congrats for the game, good stuff!

Great game, the level design is incredible (my favorites were probably 7, 9, and 10).

This is a cool game, I loved the level design (especially level 7, 8, 9). I couldn't figure out the rules about which teleporter is connected to which one, it would have been better if you made it clear in the game.

Very cool, simple graphics! The game is very challenging, it took me multiple restarts until I went little bit forward:) The gameplay feels fresh and interesting. I had a lot of fun playing it! Great job!
