Big fan of the central submarine mechanic. Having to take a vehicle with you has great potential for puzzles and platformig sections. This game focused more on the timer and horror aspect, which was also very interesting! I think it wears the Iron Lung inspiration on it's sleeve, but that's not a bad thing at all. Only thing that is a little unintuitive would be that, even when the sub's air supply is getting drained, your lungs start going empty. I understand that it raises the tension, but you'd think that the sub would help you breathe underwater haha😅 
I do think that the sound design is actually quite eery lmao, good job on building a horror atmosphere within like.. 5 minutes of gameplay! Really nice entry!!

EEEE i genuinely jumped when the fish first appeared. "Oh this looks like a silly and nice game, oh i cant wait to have a nice and calm puzzle platforming adventure! Im sure nothing bad happens while CAVE DIVING" 
Jokes aside it is crazy how tense and immersive this is with such minimal pixel graphics and simple audio. This is amazing! The controls feel really nice which i think is the single most important element in a gamejam game.

That means a lot from the guy that made one of my favorite jam games so far! Thanks for playing!

Nice game! I agree with one of the comments below. The feeling of desperation when you’re close to running out of oxygen and you’re lost is really well conveyed through both the visuals and the commands. I feel like there is also some room to develop a really cool spooky story around this concept!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm very glad you enjoyed my game!

Love the classic cave diver choice we have to make at the beginning! The map design + control scheme does such a good job giving that feeling of desperation, what a great totally uneventful cave dive ;)

Thanks for the compliments! I thought the map was a little mid at the start so i'm glad you think it's good!

The submarine movement feels nice! Very fluid :)

I felt like some background audio suddenly went missing during the game, but other than that, nice game

I really wasn't expecting such a drastic change in direction

Developer

I might add music eventually because i did'nt have time... Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Lowkey insanely good game! I honestly love it. Music could benifit the game, but other wise every other section, I rated it five stars. Seriously. For 4 days, this level of execution is incredible. 4.6/5 stars!

Developer(+1)

I'm thinking of adding music soon! I can't thank you enough for the rating! How was the ending?

Submitted(+1)

The ending was really fun. Had the perfect scary element!

pls check out my game lol

I originally clicked the button to stay with my loving family of 5, however after seeing this wasn't an option I begrudgingly went on a cool adventure. I loved the variety of mechanics, and the story was kinda scary but cool. Loved it.
