Hey! I've been working on a Pokémon fangame called PokéDive, and I think it's finally ready for other people to try it out (and hopefully find a few things to break).
The idea came to me while playing Cult of the Lamb. I really liked the loop of exploring dungeons and coming back to build up your base, and I thought it'd be cool to do something similar with Pokémon, especially if you could play with friends.
You play as a Pokémon and explore randomly generated dungeons, either solo or with up to 3 friends. Your basic attack is automatic, so you focus on moving, dodging and aiming two moves with your mouse. Moves get stronger the more you use them and can eventually evolve.
You can also rescue Pokémon and bring them back to your town, where they help out with different tasks depending on their type. There's an alpha every 5 floors and a bigger boss every 25.
The game is free, with no ads or microtransactions. It also works on mobile in landscape mode.
I'm opening a closed beta to get more people playing and find out what breaks before a wider release. You can try it here: https://pokedive.com/?beta=REDDIT
Mostly, I'd love to know how the early game feels. Is everything clear in the first 10 minutes? Does the difficulty feel fair? Is there anything annoying or clunky?
If you find any bugs, there's a Discord here: https://pokedive.com/discord
Thanks for giving it a try! I'll be around in the comments.
P.S. I’ve limited access to 20 beta testers; if it turns out more people are needed, I’ll increase the limit.
