This is a really well polished game :D, I liked it a lot. I escaped in day 15 with 7/8 rocks. The pufferfish bubble ride was my favorite part. The first anglerfish I saw took me off guard, it scared me so much haha, I loved it.

By the way, our games are kinda similar, just that yours is underwater, while mine is in an alien planet. Either way, great work!

Love the controls :>

Cute lil game! Great job! :3

The movement mechanics and mechanics in general had a great feel and were very fun to use! The art is simple but beautiful. Great work!

Submitted

wow, this was so fluid and satisfying to play! the little game reminded me of the little guys from rhythm heaven fever in that amoeba game :)

Submitted

The level design and gameplay here were really good. I had fun! If you make a future version, It would be nice if the background fish were easier to see before they start activating .

Very cool take on the countdown idea, using the countdown as a limitation to upgrade and unlock more areas to explore. Map design is pretty nice and varied enough, gets you thinking about how to route around the map every attempt and kind of makes you dread what you'll be bumping into as you go deeper. I wish there was a button to quickly reset the day but it's not a huge deal, and while the game teaches you how to fight enemies, it won't really indicate which ones you're not supposed to which could be rectified someway with some graphical polish. Really well designed game and the assets are very clean and polished!

I really liked your take on the "do as much as you can within a time limit" formula. The way you tied game progression to the oxygen bar—combined with the shortcuts—was really well executed. All the other aspects of the game were great, too: the level design, subtle sound effects, art style, and enemies all came together really well in the project!

Cool game with really good graphics & environment. I played it through the end to discover all places there are to discover :)

Submitted

Very nice graphics and music with sounds.

Not a bad idea in itself.

I liked the game, great work, bro

A surprisingly well-balanced game. Each time I felt I had just enough oxygen for the next leg and not much more.

Submitted

Beautiful game! 

Submitted

Super lovely visuals!!! This looks like something I'd have played on the PS2 or something. The gameplay is really satisfying!

Submitted

Amazing visuals! Combat was satisfying, didn't manage to get very far but did get eaten by a large mouth in the wall. 10/10 accurate fih life

Submitted

The game has a very beautiful background and effects, I would like to remove the lock after impact

Submitted

WOW I am so impressed that you managed to do that in only 4 days. I love the art direction it is so consistant as the artist in my team I hope to be able to have so much consistency someday.

The gameplay is so creative too andI love the incorporation of the theme in the Jam trully incredible !!!

Developer

Thanks so much! We had 2 artists working on the game which probably helped. Making something something you're truly proud of always sneaks up on you so keep creating and i'm sure you'll be great!

PS. I played your game and i think it looks great btw!

Submitted

Interesting and has some nice mechanics

I like the attack animation!
