How does your game fit the theme?
It's a deep dive literally because of the submarine part, but I also play around a relationship between a father and his daughter.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and art by me, and a sound designer helped with music and sounds. Godot 4 as engine.

I unironically love the typos in the text messages. What a charming and silly game, I really like the text message story telling and general vibe. Great job!
Nice game and idea. I like the graphics and atmospheric music)
Pretty cool! I like the idea. The theme is well implemented. the music is pretty cool and the art is nice. Maybe adding some more rocks would make it easier to know where you are, since is kinda hard. Nice game overall. The title is pretty cool btw.
Please consider rating our game, It would really help us. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this short story and took alot from the ending. Quite a deep story infact (no pun intended with the theme) I loved sending the messages to and from the daughter. I could not send messages to the boss? Is that right? I felt genuine tension passing slowly past the mines. I was not sure at times if I would make it or not. Overall I think u nailed it. The pixel art was great too. Check out my submission if u have time! BTW you should set this game to mobile friendly. It worked well on my Samsung. Love playing games like this on the go. Well done!
Yah, that's right, you can't bother your boss haha. thanks for playing, and it's nice to know that worked on mobile!
Great concept! Also - loved the soundtrack.
Oh thank you!
Thanks for playing! Yah the sound designer is great :D
I enjoyed this game! Job well done on the background and surrounding art. The gameplay itself was simple but could be further built upon. I enjoyed the element of contacting your family when you were above the water, even thought the story was not personally my favourite. Nice job on this game overall!
Thanks for the feedback and for playing!!
This Idea of talking to your family is so amazing and it instantly sets a very dark and cinematic tone which I very much like! I wasn't the biggest fan of the gameplay however, but I think with a different gameplay concept and this story this would have been amazing. Especially for just one week of development! Keep it up for sure!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it!
I think the idea of talking to your family between the missions is really good. It builds up the character and motive me to keep playing. The gameplay part is decent, but there is still space for improvement, it is really just pressing a few buttons and avoid the mine. I guess you focus in on the story and not the game play.
Also, if you have time, please take a look at my game, thank you.
Absolutely, thanks for the feedback, and of course I'll take a look at your work too!
I edit the game after submission, because of a bug. It didn't change anything else, just a bug in level 3 that is now fixed.
Sadly the second mine of the mine level was not rendering for me, so couldnt get past it. Propably Godot4 bug? Was playing with windows and using chrome as browser if that helps. Interesting idea for the game never the less!
NOpe, classic dev tired on the last hour problem. I fixed it now :)
Thanks for trying and for letting me know about the bug <3
Hello! Didn't understand why I always die on first level with mines. I saw only one mine, but I believe there should be two as was on the mini-map. I wasn't able to pass this level :(
