Deep Descent by sirdorius
Ooops... You're stranded on an alien planet. Get to the core to find energy for your ship and then escape before the planet explodes. Use your fancy harpoon gun that bounces off enemies and acquires their power. How many different attacks can you chain with your gun?
Unfortunately we didn't manage to polish or even finish the game as we wanted it, but this a great learning experience nonetheless, and we had fun. So if you like the concept stay tuned for an updated Post Ludum version in the coming days!
Update: Fixed a game breaking bug where the player didn't take damage and sometimes the teleporter to the next level didn't spawn
WASD - Move
Space - Jump
Mouse - Aim
Click - Shoot

I like your concept (: And your little robot is so cute !
Need polishing, but it's cool
The gameplay is also good - the whole piece looks very polished to me... :-)
Well done!
Fun to play.
Things I noticed during my playthrough
- Very often random explosion sounds while playing even when no enemies are on the screen. Takes a little bit away from the otherwise good music
- The camera position when walking makes it hart to see where I am going and often I will run right into an enemy because I can't see them coming
- Jump seems to be not working more often than not and is not high enough to be of any use (to jump over a portal f.e)
- If you play on after the first death enemies often drop several portals at once and they lead all over the map (it doesn't seem to happen on the first run so I guess that's a bug?)
- no, there is currently no way to regenerate health.
- jump height is low because you can actually quadruple jump (we failed to explain that properly)
I had a pretty difficult time figuring out what to do, I kept hitting myself in the head with harpoons. I wasn't able to finish the game but I think I got to the last layer.
