The game

A vertical precision platformer designed as a mobile-first game. A labour of love, hand-crafted over more than a decade.

Can Dex escape the pit, collect some serious treasure and take down the Calamities of the Deep?

  • Built for thumbs

    Tight, simple controls designed for touch screens, with full keyboard and controller support on PC.

  • Jump Around

    Five worlds packed with variety, where each trap has been hand placed and every frame hand-drawn.

  • Power-ups

    Grow big, sprout wings, fire shots, ... - power up with a range of different suits.

  • Calamities of the Deep

    Screen-filling bosses stand in your way - take them down a peg.

  • Music

    Incredible pulsating music featuring 11 original tracks.

  • Accessibility

    Play it your way: turn off sfx, music, screen shake or vibration, change the pallete - high-contast, sleep mode or DMG-style.

Old-school at heart

Inspired by classic platformers including Super Mario Land and Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and early mobile games such as Sketchbook Squad, Dex Deep is a tough but fair precision platformer.

A mobile game that offers a genuine challenge with an old-school feel: no in-app purchases, no ads and no randomly generated levels. It's quick to pick up, has new mechanics waiting at every turn and doesn't ask you to keep playing forever.

Dex Deep has been a long time in the making: the first ever screenshot was shared on Twitter in over a decade ago!
