Well Diver is a Zelda-like dungeon diving puzzle solver set on a drowning world. 

This version of Well Diver is a submission for the August 2023 Brackeys Game Jam, and while it's based on the concept below, it's still a work in progress and is very limited in scope. After level 2, the game repeats a randomly generated maze, though this will not be kept in later versions of the game. 

Game Concept

An orchard keeper on a tiny world must dive into an overflowing well every day to stop the world from drowning. In the well, they will solve puzzles and navigate mazes, and as they dive deeper, water is pulled from the surface back into the well. The deeper down, the harder it gets, and pulling water becomes a balance of leaving the world above with enough water to sustain life.

I was urged by a colleague at Unity to participate in a gam jam, so here's my entry.
