Welcome to the depths of Terra MineDiver, where 'routine mining operation' seems to have taken a rather... unexpected turn. Your fellow divers are vanishing faster than you can say 'safety regulations,' and it's up to you to figure out why. Dive into the mysterious facility, solve puzzles, and try not to become a permanent resident of the missing persons list.

  • Unravel the Mystery: Delve into a captivating narrative and uncover the secrets behind the mysterious disappearances.
  • Puzzle-Driven Exploration: Challenge your mind with intricate puzzles that require both logic and ingenuity.
  • Crank and Accelerometer Integration: Experience unique gameplay mechanics that fully utilize the Playdate's distinctive features.
  • Micro Adventure: Enjoy a compact yet engaging adventure, perfect for a quick Playdate session (approximately 30 minutes of gameplay so far).
  • Immersive Atmosphere: Explore a detailed and atmospheric mining facility, filled with secrets and surprises.

What's Playdate?

Terra MineDiver is designed exclusively for the Playdate, a handheld console known for its crisp black and white screen, clicky controls, and that delightful crank. I've squeezed every drop of gameplay out of this tiny yellow wonder.

No Playdate?

No problem! You can experience Terra MineDiver using the Playdate Simulator, available with the free Playdate SDK. Simply download the SDK, open the simulator, and drag the .pdx file to play. You can even connect a controller and use an analog stick as a crank substitute. Explore the Playdate SDK here.

Not done?

This demo offers a glimpse into the early stages of Terra MineDiver. You'll experience a portion of the main storyline, encounter unique puzzles, and discover the game's core mechanics. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and the full game will feature even more depth and surprises.

Terra MineDiver is an incredibly immersive puzzle-adventure designed specifically for the Playdate console, and I'm looking forward to playing more of its intricacies soon!

You look like the type of person who'd enjoy this jam: WOW JAM

They have a very interesting platform and are even offering prizes xD

Looks great! Love a good pulp game - will check it out.

Come back after you have and let me know your thoughts

This is really nice! I like the gentle puzzling so far, a great introduction to the setting with hints of backstory, and I'm looking forward to the full game with trickier puzzles :)

Thank you.
I'm hoping to get into some deeper inventory functionality and dive a little more into using the story as some of the puzzle solutions. 

Nice! I liked the code on the window puzzle as it took me a minute or two to realise that one!

This is so impressive for a Pulp game, my only quibble is that I feel there should be no delay in initial movement if you keep a directional button pressed, and there’s a slight delay here… :P and I know you can set that in Pulp :)

Great suggestion. I'll make that part of the next update
