Description

Deep Loot is an oceanic explore-’em up. There's loot, deadly sea creatures and secrets to be found. On-the-fly procedural content means you can explore the ocean in every direction without limits and without waiting.

There are hundreds of unique loot items to find as well as equipment and upgrades to spend your profits on. Soon you'll be zapping the denizens of the deep with white-hot plasma as you plunder ancient ruins for legendary treasures, well on your way to becoming the world's greatest Deep Looter!

History

Originally conceived as a game about digging up fossils, the design for Deep Loot quickly became more complex as we added Rogue-like elements and an emphasis on exploration.

We were hoping that we'd be done in 3 months which turned out to be pretty ambitious. After a year we felt pretty confident that we were nearly done and we were quite wrong again. In the end it took us 2 years – blimey!

The thing that kept us going was the support and positive feedback from fellow developers, journalists and all the gamers that played Deep Loot at expos and festivals over the years – so thanks, we couldn't have done it without you!
