It doesn't look much like the screenshot -- did you maybe upload the wrong version?"},{"author_name":"IndieST","author_uid":"8147","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:12am","epoch":1398744420,"text":"1. The screen is too dark at the most of the time. It works for building creepy atmosphere, but maybe give the player a flashlight?\r2. I got to some iron mine, jumped on it, and then the game seemed reset. What should I supposed to do then?"},{"author_name":"Lissar","author_uid":"27179","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:16am","epoch":1398744660,"text":"I quite like the idea for this game, and I enjoyed the low poly style. Only problem was that looking around with the mouse was too heavy. I'm guess this is supposed to be simulating low gravity perhaps? But it didn't feel like it worked well."},{"author_name":"olkeencole","author_uid":"10982","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:18am","epoch":1398744780,"text":"Sorry!

And I did enjoy roaming and bouncing around, checking out the environment. It's a shame you weren't able to get more gameplay in.

However, I seemed to have frame-rate issues. Also the resolution on the web version was too large resulting in horizontal scrollbars.

This could be turned into a bigger game easily, and could cater for those people who just want to explore... or by adding bit more difficult (oxygen levels, cave monsters, you name it).. this could be a really long-term fun.\r\rI liked a lot."},{"author_name":"Oye Beto","author_uid":"7933","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 5:22am","epoch":1398835020,"text":"I collected a lot of stuff, it's a big level :o\rYou did a good job with the level geometry.\rI liked the flashlight mechanic and how the camera bounces after jumping.\r\rI wanted to run faster. I think walking slow in a monotonous environment is not fun. Maybe you should explode the floating mechanic too."},{"author_name":"sandbaydev","author_uid":"2926","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 3:59am","epoch":1398916440,"text":"Also: I forgot to say, but the gravity choice was a solid one -- immediately made me feel like being on some other planet."},{"author_name":"TeamFlare","author_uid":"25793","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 12:10pm","epoch":1398945900,"text":"Interesting idea and I might have learned something about minerals ;) Great entry."},{"author_name":"tomvert","author_uid":"18469","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 12:14pm","epoch":1398946140,"text":"Clumsy controls, but I love the moon and stars :)"},{"author_name":"Lyje","author_uid":"29064","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 3:09pm","epoch":1398956640,"text":"Beautiful low poly art is beautiful!

Each \"surface\" has a hole that leads deeper into the planetoid.\r\n\r\nThere was so much more I wanted to put into the game, but I barely had time to make the game this weekend. It'll probably be easy to break, but I think its a fun environment to play in. \r\n\r\nIf you have any suggestions or recommendations, please let me know. I plan to continue working on this game and add new features. I really want to add a lot of wacky science effects. ","title":"Deep Collective"}
