Ranked from 9 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Which theme(s) did your game incorporate, and how?
I incorporated the theme of "Under Pressure". This is both in the limited-time mechanic, and in the theming around a deep underwater cave.

Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, what were they and where were they from?
The only pre-made assets were sound effects and music. I have this information in the credits of the game, and the itch page, but I'll also put them here:
- Various SFX from FilmCow's Royalty-Free Libraries: https://filmcow.itch.io
- UI Sounds from: https://ateliermagicae.itch.io/fantasy-ui-sound-effects
- Underwater Exploration Theme: https://opengameart.org/content/exploration-theme

In my first game i grab one pearl and then the oxygen finished... I was quite shocked but soon become a really interesting experience, I keep going around gathering pearls and adjusting to the new speed. A really good game,

A really cool take on an incremental game. I’ve played quite a few of them, and in my opinion many eventually lean too much into being idle games where the player barely has to do anything anymore. That’s not the case here. I also really liked how the game gradually opens up over time, with new features that first have to be discovered — very nice design choice.

I’d give the player a bit more time at the beginning though. The first few 3-second loops felt pretty confusing to me. Even with upgrades, the submarine turns a bit too slowly, and it’s frustrating that you can only rotate while moving. Because of that, it sometimes feels more like a parking simulator than controlling a submarine.

Cute art style and very cool <3
