I love it!
While it takes the form of a simple diving game, the gameplay is solid,
and the way you handle your buddy is innovative and fun.
It gets me so fired up that I find myself playing it over and over again.
Thanks glad you liked it.
This was about as far as I could get... I wanted to go a bit further, but I suppose I just lack the skill...
Still, I really love the atmosphere. The way it gradually grows darker, the two glowing Divers, and Pearl—it’s all so beautiful. It was the kind of game that completely captivated me before I even realized it. 🙂
Thanks Glad you liked it
Very cool concept and fun game to play :) some bits are very hard to go through without loosing "health" :( but, overall, veeeery cool :))))
Thanks
Really atmospheric — "the abyss remembers" and the depth-rank titles (I went Reef Diver, then Twilight Diver as I got deeper) give the descent a lovely sense of progression. Two divers sharing one air supply on a fragile tether is a genuinely strong DIVE+BUDDY read; the tension of spreading apart for pearl pairs vs. tucking together is a smart risk/reward. I struggled to land perfect pairs solo and the tether "gave way" fast both runs, so a slightly more forgiving tether (or a clearer telegraph before it snaps) early on would help newcomers feel the pair/Buddy-Burst loop before dying. Beautiful, polished entry — well done.
