In Subterplane you control an RC plane attempting to explore a gloomy cave. Try to make it as far as possible without crashing. The further you go, the darker and narrower it gets.

Luckily, you managed to get a good deal in bulk RC planes, so you can always send in more if you do crash. Or, you can try exploring a new cave.

Watch your speed and make sure you don't stall!

Background:

This is my first ever game jam, and also my first completed project in Unity. I went into it not knowing what to expect and I learned a lot in the process (mostly about Unity and the URP).

Deeper and deeper was actually one of the only themes that I did not have a solid idea for going into the jam, so I decided to keep the scope very small and focus on learning about polishing games in Unity.

The plane physics were written from scratch and a fundamental mistake that I made early on caused me to spend way too much time debugging, tuning parameters, and trying alternative, simpler methods. Which caused me to not be able to add as many features as I would have liked.

In the end, I'm happy with how the game turned out!

Would love to hear any and all feedback and criticism!
