tough as nails as always, I'm not cut for this level of difficulty XD I think it's fine to make a difficult game but I do wonder if the game would improve from less floaty controls, it doesn't seem to do much other than make things harder by reducing player control, which is never a very good feeling as a player. Other than that you've done a wonderful job with the art and vibes, I really love how clean this style is. Great work as always!

fun game i like this gameplay and idea you gotta time the movement
This is an awesome idea, it sorta makes me yearn for a rhythmic soundtrack that syncs with the swimming but that's obviously outside the scope of this. Excellent work, bookmarked your page and am excited to play your other stuff!
Such a cool mechanic and a great setting for a game. I love the underwater theme. Great idea!
You're a brilliant developer. I'm glad to understand the style of games you make, and I was happy to see your submission for this year as well. gg man, always excited to see what you make next.
Pretty tough. I think a retry button would help make it smoother to get back into it when you find yourself in an untenable situation, which occurs a lot. Though I found it frustrating, I was compelled to finish. Good job.
I'm gonna start with a really small detail that I think shows the care on this.. the way the game-palette colour matches the colour of the game-page so it looks seamless; that was the first impression and immediately I thought "oh this is gonna be a good'un".
And whad'ya know, it absolutely was! Crazy smart conceptually having the countdown relate to an uncontrollable input timing, not seen anything quite like it. Gave a really nice tempo to the levels and whilst it was difficult, I felt the way the pointer sort-of lazily "floats" in the direction you point it felt very.. well.. jellyfish! The challenge was made a lot fairer too by the way the health resets and especially liked how being damaged allowed you to stop and take a breather. It was the little balances that made me keep picking it up after copping it.
Stylistically awesome too, the little outline on the player and the background and movement effects were on-point, palette choice is sublime.
Absolutely loved it!
