Very well done submission all around. Had fun with it. Couldn't help but think the diver was kind of dabbing when moving left or right lol

Everything comes together so well! A very charming game, super impressive. My only critique would be that the slow swim speed becomes really frustrating with the backtracking you have to do, but the visuals, audio, and gameplay are really nice!

Homeward DepthsVery neat! The background music was really well put together, kudos there! Loved the look of it, especially the big 'ol squid boss near the third relic.
Fun! The only issue i came across was that i did try to play with a controller but couldn't seem to aim? Still! that aside, nice job all!

The CloisterAgree that movement could be a bit faster, but this was really nice to play. Everything from the intro to the credits felt super polished. Very well done!

Free to Chat?Thanks a lot for playing and commenting. We should definitely review the movement system, imo having more room for different situations and decisions regarding movement would definitely help for it not to feel slow. And maybe a risk reward option of going faster but with a potential downside.
We're glad you like it 👍
Really enjoyed the image of the big squid flashing in the dark when I finally found where to hit it. Swimming speed could probably be a bit faster but beyond that the polish is UNREAL! Everything in the art style / sound design meshes really well and I didn't run into any bugs :)

Isle of AshNicely done. It was fun and just the right length. But what does the final relic do?!?!?!
:D

Nightmare in BostonVisually adored this game! The mechanics were fun and engrossing as well, though I do agree with others the swimming could be a little faster. It also took me way too long to realize I could dash by pressing space lol but that's a me issue. Otherwise I love love loved this, and played it all the way through to the end! Great job!

GameMan in Escape DoomThis was fun and really interesting. I liked the way you used the theme. Being deep underwater already creates that constant sense of danger. And tying your oxygen directly to survival makes everything feel like impending doom the whole time.
Really cool concept and atmosphere. Nice work!

DOOM DELIVERYSimple mechanics but the whole atmosphere art style and sound design makes it a very cool experience.
Swimming could be a little faster (personally i found the light upgrade not that great both gameplay and immersion wise , maybe increasing dash distance would be better although thats more of preference).
The ending while expected was still a good twist.
Overall great submission!

Last DanceReally awesome job! Solid base mechanics, awesome art/music that lends to a eerie atmosphere, I enjoyed playing. Maybe if I had to nitpick, the swimming could be a little faster but seems that has already been said.
Reminds me of a certain flash game I played a long time ago, unlocked a core memory for sure.
Thank you!
