awesome water sim
Well done! Simple, but amazing.
That splash, wow. Sells the whole game for me. A cool short experience. Excellent artwork. That cat sure is hard to please :)
Insane graphics programming on this one, it's crazy good.
I found the voice acting feels kinda a bit slapped on top of everything else, haha, but overall it does contribute to the vibe.
I don't know why one cat gave me a 10 but the other one gave me a 3 tho 😿One thing I would have like to see in the QTE part was some clearer visual indication that the press was registered. A lot of time the same direction would be given to you twice but when it got fast it just looks like it stands still so you have to take just an extra moment to confirm that you have pressed the button and it slowed you down a bit. But maybe you're not too concerned with that when everyone is gushing over how great this game looks haha.
Great entry!
This is a piece of eyecandy! I had so much fun playing it! GREAT GREAT JOB! :)
Basically what everyone else has said. Super awesome game and I love the voice acting!
By far the most simple yet sophisticated entry I have ever played, visually stunning and audibly satisfying!
As stated before Immaculate vibes on this one, it's amazing. The audio, art and the voice acting really come together in such a coherent way. I kept telling myself one last dive, trying to shoot for a perfect (Highest I got a 10 and a 9 so close I guess?). I feel that perhaps you could have thrown in some fake-outs with the background, forcing you to rely on the pose of the diver if you wanted to push the lying theme a bit more, but yeah you nailed the atmosphere. Incredible work!
Wow the visuals in this game are so striking! I can imagine using a screenshot of your game as a wallpaper! So mesmerizing!
This oozes so much style! Reminded me a bit of "Keep driving" in the best way possible.
Thank you, I love the vibe of Keep driving :) I only ever played the demo last year tho, I gotta play the full game someday!
really immaculate vibes here! your presentation is really strong. if i have any critique it's that the game does not really express the limitation beyond what's written on the itch page. highest score i could get the cat to was 8, the qte's got too fast for me at that point. really beautiful submission! good job c:
Thank you, yeah that's a fair point. I do have a voice line about eating a sandwich if you fail too often and a sign next to the pool saying no diving but that is kinda too subtle.
Actually emotional game, voice acting is sublime brings a lot of backstory to the main character and makes her jumping into the skies super touching, visually it's the most beautiful game I've played this jam, and the arrow game is incredibly fun.
the perfect mood for diving, the immersion is full bro, pretty clean and minimalist game, if you post it on web most people will be able to play
Thank you! I wish I could make a web build but the compute shader I wrote for the water simulation doesn't work on web :(
Love the art and the water physics! Nice game!
Very pretty art, and the animation when you fail a dive gave me a good laugh!
