Deeper Still is a 2d block shuffling puzzle following the thoughts of a person struggling with their loneliness made for the 2020 Extra Credits Game Jam
This game jam I wanted to try designing a puzzle game as that was a genre I hadn't ever done before. The goal for mechanics were to be kept simple, but with enough interaction that I could still create varied level layouts. I attempted writing a narrative but didn't leave much time for it and ended up rushing most of the story.
Boxes may be pushed if the space in front of them is clear, pits are obstacles that cannot be passed by the player unless a box is pushed into them first, any object can move from the brighter raised tiles to lower tiles anytime, but can only go back up in specific spots.
With just those simple interactions I managed to make roughly 10 levels for the jam, it was a project I managed to put a lot of polish into and am still quite proud of it for a jam submission.
