Really enjoyed the mood and the puzzles with the fish! Good job!

I enjoyed the vibes and clever use of scope for a game jam. I particularly liked the hint of a larger sea creature at some point. Ultimately I got a bit frustrated by the time-restricted puzzles, especially when my lil fish guy got hung up. Regardless, really great job! Here's a playtest @00:29:55

You've created a great atmosphere. Artwork and sound design is fantastic. The puzzles were clever. I like that everything is on a timer and that you reused mechanics is interesting ways (for example using a gate as a platform).

My only complaint is that the game was a bit laggy. Especially the fish. But I was able to complete all levels anyway.

Visuals and sounds are excellent! Lots of Limbo vibes. The icons on the mouse hover are subtle but well executed and they help teach the player with no instructions necessary. Good job!

yeah I learned from the last jam that animated icons can help a lot!

At first i was chilling, but after whatever swam back up it became very tense...
Loved this game, hoped it would last longer.

Developer

haha gotcha!

This was beautiful and the visuals reminded me of Limbo. I got stuck in the initial bit for a while and perhaps some sort of clue would have helped, but eventually figured it out. You've really played with illumination and like how quietly beautiful your game was... like the art didn't shout but drew you in deeper, and that's a very special thing to have achieved!

Glad to hear that thankyou! I was maybe 1 hour away from adding a hint to the beginning… sorry you got stuck.
