## What is Feed the Deep?

- A dark roguelike by the designer of Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride.
- Procedurally generated caves make every expedition different.
- Explore at your own pace. Dive fast and aggressive or explore slowly, dropping markers along the way.
- Soundtrack by award-winning composer Cedar Jones (Jetpack Joyride and more).
- An atmospheric deep sea adventure with lovecraftian vibes.

When they built the floating cities, they had no idea an insidious threat lurked deep below...

Feed the Deep is a compulsive lovecraftian roguelike inspired by the likes of Dome Keeper and Spelunky. Dive into an ever-changing system of undersea caves. Collect resources that can be traded for upgrades and items. Explore ever deeper, managing dark spaces, limited oxygen, and hostile wildlife, and complete your mission to Feed the Deep. 

Feed the Deep was built almost entirely by me, Luke Muscat. Back in the Old Times I was creator of Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja. A couple of years ago I decided I wanted to try the ultimate game dev challenge and make a game completely solo.

### 5/5 — Good game.

*2026-07-09*

For people who complain that it cost money. This is a free trial and it says it on the description, do even these people know how to read ?

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-06-14, version 1.0.6*

If your gonna make your game cost money just make it cost money. Don’t make me download it first😒

### 5/5 — Feed the deep

*2026-06-10, version 1.0.6*

Awesome game

### 1/5 — Don’t waste money on it

*2026-06-03, version 1.0.5*

Title sounds harsh. But I gave up on the Deep Dive 2 console game challenge (where you play a little console game under water). It is impossible to reach 460 score pojnts. I really liked that game (I often played it for hours) up to that point. But feel annoyed to have wasted money and time on a game that is impossible to play to the end. Before I played Feed the Deep I played Zombotron (all levels to the end).

But best is if you try it for yourself. It is very stable on a Macbook Air 15” M4.

### 5/5 — pretty chill under water game

*2026-06-03*

Well built game with good dynamics, has slight inspiration of subnautica

### 5/5 — Controller support seems broken

*2026-04-22, version 1.0.6*
