Depth Gamble

About

Depth Gamble was created in a total of about 26 hours as a submission for the Brackeys Game Jam 2025.2. The theme was "Risk it for the biscuit". I struggled quite a bit with this theme during the ideation phase, but ultimately Depth Gamble was the result. In this game you essentially play a game of "chicken" and risk your life trying to get deeper than the other diver (CPU or player).

Objective

You play as a diver competing with a rival diver to see who can dive closest to the seabed without touching it. The twist is, you've got to do it blind! Stop too soon and risk losing to your rival, stop too late and you'll flat out lose! Played as a best of five, do you have what it takes to be crowned the winner?

How To Play

Controls for the menu are at the bottom right of each menu. Simply navigate to the "How to Play" button via the up and down arrows, then press X. Everything you need to know control and gameplay wise is listed there!
