DEEP is a one-thumb free-dive descent. Sink into a darkening trench and steer past drifting jellyfish and rock spires — one input, that's it (drag, touch, or arrow keys).


Watch your BREATH. Your air drains as you descend; grab the rising bubbles to refill, or you'll be forced back to the surface. Pearls are bonus, and the deeper you go the higher your score multiplier climbs.


You are not alone down there. Your glowing BUDDY follows you everywhere — its light is the only thing that cuts the dark in the deep, and it gathers air and pearls within its glow. The buddy is why you can dive deep and live.


• All-time best-depth leaderboard — beat the deepest divers.

• A daily dive (same trench for everyone) with a day-streak and shareable result.

• Explore 4 depth zones — the Sunlit Shallows, the Twilight, the Midnight Zone and the Abyss, each with new dangers the deeper you dare.

• Fill your Dive Log — 8 hidden sea creatures your buddy's light reveals in the dark. Can you find them all?

• 8 badges to unlock and lifetime stats to chase — plenty of reasons to dive again.

• One life, newcomer first-steer grace, fun in ten seconds, no signup, saves locally.

A great play; I can play this for hours and definitely see myself playing this while brainstorming. Very well put together and very addictive. I also love the save file with the three initial saves.

Thank you so much — "play it while brainstorming" is honestly the exact headspace I hoped DEEP would fit into, so that means a lot. Really glad the buddy light and the oxygen tension landed for you. I had a great time with A Space Dive too; the living-sonar companion and that "can't bring everything back up" extraction twist really stuck with me. Good luck in the jam!
