Features & Capabilities

Feed the Deep is a dark Lovecraftian roguelike from Luke Muscat, the designer behind Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. Dive into procedurally generated undersea caves where every expedition is different. Collect resources, trade upgrades, manage limited oxygen, and explore at your own pace while dropping markers along the way. Try for free—the full game unlocks with a one-time in-app purchase and there are no ads.

Inspired by Dome Keeper and Spelunky, Feed the Deep blends atmospheric storytelling with tense exploration and resource management. Survive hostile wildlife as you delve deeper, guided by Cedar Jones’s award-winning soundtrack, and complete the mission to feed the deep. Built almost entirely solo by Luke Muscat, the game channels Lovecraftian vibes into a compact, addictive experience.

Paywall/full game price: reviewers note the full game costs money (around $7) and some dislike the lack of a free full version
Online-only unlocks: some players report the game doesn’t recognize purchases offline or during flights
Small maps with limited utility of items: maps are perceived as too small and progression can feel constrained
Control/UX issues: aiming and input can be awkward; lack of robust controller/backbone support and input options
