Deepglow

Description

Deepglow is a cozy pixel-art clicker set in a bioluminescent night world. Each phase is a race against the clock: click glowing trees, fruit bushes, springs, rocks and crystals to harvest them, then spend what you gathered on a branching upgrade tree with sharper tools, bigger yields and longer days. Keep an eye on hunger and thirst, travel through six biomes, from the Night Forest to the Sunken Ruins, and reach the heart of the Deepglow. No game over: every phase moves you forward.

Age rating: suitable for all ages (7+). No violence, no blood, no in-game purchases.

AI disclosure: AI tools were used in making this game. Parts of the pixel art were created with AI-assisted tools and then edited by hand, the story narration uses AI-generated voices, and AI coding assistants helped write parts of the code. Game design, levels and balancing were done by the developer.

How to Play

Goal: harvest resources before the timer runs out, then buy upgrades to go further.

Mouse / touch: click or tap a resource to harvest it. Click an upgrade to buy it.
Keyboard: Arrows or WASD to move, Space to harvest.
Pause: P or Esc (on mobile, the II button).

Tips:

Hunger makes your hits weaker and thirst halves what you collect. Gather fruit and water to keep both bars up.
Upgrades unlock new biomes and tools (fishing, mining, hunting).
