DEEP HOLE Reviews

Short but sweet platformer. It took a little over an hour to collect all the items and finish the game. The graphics are good and the gamepad controls are great despite not being able to remap them, I did not play with keyboard & mouse. Sound did become repetitive after a while, you'll mostly be hearing the same footsteps and windy echo while you play. Level design is good and while there are only four levels each one has some unique feature or mechanic that keeps it interesting; my favourite was the tree in the third level, which also made this the most challenging level as you hop from branch to branch and explore the inside of the tree for all the items. It does not feel like a full game, but rather a demonstration of a concept that I would like to see developed further.

The concept of this small game is pretty simple: there is a very deep hole to be explored by falling down it & you have a jetpack to help you get around. I think the gameplay fills a very particular niche. If you like 3D platformers & that moment when you fall down huge distances while hitting your jetpack in spurts to cushion your fall...it's $3!!
