Im scared of deep water and caverns, yet this was a very soothing experience.
The audio design was really good as well.

This game feels nice to play, I really liked to go around and look at all the places, it feels smooth and also I really like that the song pauses when you are in the air and continues in the water.
Seeing the frog legs moving quickly when there is a floor to stay is funny to me, also I like that there is a different part where the bg is darker than the rest of the game. The feeling of exploring the water is nice thanks to the visuals and the song. In that darker area or close to it, there is an air pocket where the white like flickers with the bg, it doesn’t flick fast but it’s the only air part where it has this issue
It’s a little sad this is a short game but it was great to play, I hope the frog keeps diving safely in those caves! :)

Ah, thank you for the awesome comment.
We definitely were going for that exploration aspect, I appreciate you felt that as well. There's definitely some small issues with some visuals (that bug you described is definitely a layering issue).
We might go back after the jam and push a small update populating the cave more with more unique visuals, things to find and maybe some multiple endings.

Appreciate for the feedback!
Agreed, we could've tweaked the camera a bit more so you don't run into unfair situations as such. A think a little dead zone is fine, but it's may be a little too much in the current iteration. We also explored the idea of the dash consuming more oxygen, definitely made the game a lot harder. Might be worth testing if we ever come back to this, right now the only tradeoff is a lack of steering (or we might improve that in the basic movement).
Thanks for the thoughtful comment tho!
Hi! Thanks for playing our game!
Yeah, it's a common feedback we've gotten that the incentive is a little unclear, could've definitely presented it a little better. Same with the movement? I think a little floatiness is good, but we might've gone a little overboard in the regular WASD movement.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback tho!
