I love the art style and music in this, great presentation. Very challenging and I died a lot, but I like the don't-touch-the-walls gameplay, and that you can strategically use your limbs to protect against wall damage. Really nice graph organization.
Very impressive art, even as far as the font. The gameplay is a little hectic and hardcore, so I couldn't get very far. Took me a while to realize that the helmet falling off was a nice bit of trolling. I like the damage animations and the overall floating physics, though the propulsion was a little too sensitive. Keep it up and keep developing that art style further!
First off: such beautiful, bizarre art! The mood of this game is what sells it to me: a balance between dark and funny, weird and cute, simple but challenging... But maybe a bit too challenging. I personally found it hard to progress through the level, but it might be a matter of taste: I was never one for hardcore arcade games that were unforgiving, but I know plenty of people who are! Starting over mostly made me disappointed I couldn't see the rest of the level and explore the beautiful underwater cavelike structures.
It's very interesting to see how you used Bolt for everything including particle effects, sounds and tentacles.
I hope you keep developing this project and hopefully make an "easy" mode for clumsy players like me! ;)

Very artistic graphics and music is good choice to get the underwater feeling. I seem to be terrible as I couldn't get too far without hitting my head too many times :D
Hopefully we can hear more about this game also after the jam?
