I have Nostalgia but I just played this

When I play this game, I think of what life might be like underneath the ice of Europa. This is a really fun game.
This game has a beautiful design, but if you're expecting a platformer of any sort, you'll be sorely disappointed. Instead, this game is more like puzzle golf with unlimited shots and a lot of trial and error. If you're looking for a simplistic game, this may scratch that itch, but make sure you get it on sale.
A solid mobile-style single-button physics puzzler with gorgeous, psychedelic visuals. It's the sort of game where you can just zone out and try again and again to get the bonus objectives.

Deep Under the Sky is a game developed by RichMakeGame and Colin Northway and published by Northway Games
The game offers some nice graphics and a good aesthetic that really brightens and makes the game stand out and unique
The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but an okay game nonetheless and ends just at the right time
Deep Under the Sky overall, however, is a fun game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring if being played for a long time, but is an good casual indie game to play in short bursts!
[h1] RECOMMENDED :) [/h1]

2D slingshot+ physics based puzzle/trial-by-error space jellyfish procreation game with trippy eastetics and even trippier music. worth getting on sale if you like puzzle/slingshot/jellyfish games
Игра интересная, но 250 рублей явно не стоит. Такое надо дешевле продавать.
I like this a lot. My initial expectations based on the trailer (And the fact that it's by the guy who made Incredipede) were pretty wide of the mark regarding what the game actually is, but I quickly got into what it does and the way it does it. In particular the dynamic music and the sound effects are fantastic, and it looks beautiful. I don't think the asking price is too high like some other people do, either; the mechanics expand out in a pleasing way and there are a lot of well-designed levels.
A Pleasant trip.
This game is super elegant, reminds me of golf in a lot of ways, 10/10 amazing, yet simple enough for a quadrapalegic to play with a jouse with a single button click being the only control in the game.
To the developer: Please make more games.
Title: Deep Under The Sky
Developer: Northway Games
Category: Arcade
Rating: NOT RATED
Compatibilty: Windows, Mac
Price: $9.99
Gameplay:
Look at the gameplay video above for more gameplay. But this gameplay is pretty simple. All you do is press the spacebar to play. Basically what you do is launch jellyfish and try to hit all the switches in the level. But to get the switches you need to hit the bouncy areas or use your jets, so all the gameplay is timing in when to press spacebar. So if your stuck you'll pass it as it is all trial and error. As you read the gameplay is casual, but is also very simplistic which can get boring for a long session of playing. Also, because it's only 1 button it limits the whole environment and cuts exploration.
Graphics:
This game is 2D but the art style is pretty special and works well with the style of the game.
Controls & Smoothness:
There is only 1 button like I said before, though the game only needs 1 button even though it limits exploration. The game has a little bit of bugs though only a little.
Music & Sound:
The music really helped the art style and it wasn't full on either, it just set with the background which was good.
Difficulty:
You can get stuck in this game pretty easy though as it is just one button it is just trial and error before you get all switches.
Fun Level:
I found this game the most fun when you got through the levels quickly though when you get stuck and do trial and error it can get boring and make you want to leave.
In conclusion, this game is great in short bursts though when you stay and play you will get tired because of it's repitive and limited gameplay.
Pro's:
- Great art style
- Music works well
- Some great levels which makes you think differently
Con's:
- Repitive gameplay
- Limited levels
Score: 6.5
Hi Guys and welcome to another Mad Russian Review. Today we have Lysergic acid diethylamide simulator 2014. Features: one button. That's it. its so easy your dead grandma could play it. To Lazy to press one button? is that asking to much? do you always say no and back out of tough situations? Look your a friggin jelly fish and you explode and make magic. Sometimes i just smash spacebar over and over, the more you smash spacebar the more magic you will have in your life. Dear reader, you don't have enough magic in your life. Or love. Or friends. since you have nothing beter to do I kinda suggest this game. Unless you are a real jellyfish. If you are a real jellyfish why are you reading this, you are drunk, go home.
I searched for hours trying to find a visually appealing game for mac. As some of you know, trying to find a decent game for mac on steam is really annoying. This game fit the bill and as expected I really love the colors and music. However you should know that you only press space bar to play and you are constrained to certain limitations they set. The game is 100% about the timing of when you press space bar. Creative concept, beautiful layout, and unique gameplay. I'd recommend it.. but just barely. I wish it had more of an adventure feel.
This is a recommendation meant only for a sale at a high discount. While the visuals and the overall implementation of the game concept were done very well, the gameplay itself lacks a bit of depth and smoothness. For my taste there should be more gameplay elements and less interruptions between the level goals. Although the background music matches the psychedelic graphics it gets quite annoying after a while. However, if you like playing simple games in between, you can give it a try. It's definitely no trash.
A Mother's Struggle
when I first saw this game, I thought it would be a side scroller type adventure but i was happily wrong. it's reminiscent of angry birds, but with exploding jellyfish and not-so-subtle overtones of procreation. Very chill game, very chill music, nice graphics, immersifying game play, definitely a great casual/ time waster game :)
side note: not sure if it's worth $7.99, but hey, get it while it's on sale...
