How does your game fit the theme?
Theme: "Diving Deeper"

The player character is dreaming about discovering a deep-sea treasure.
You control the player during their dive to the bottom. As the player dives deeper, you'll notice that the atmosphere changes.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all the code and sprites myself. I also made a few sounds myself.


Credits for the things that I didn't make myself:

Font: m6x11 by Daniel Linssen
hurt2.wav by the Cheeseman (Minecraft "oof" sound)
Music: Summer Solstice on the June Planet by Bail Bonds
And a couple of sounds are from Soundly

Very nice lil game. I like when it's kind of intuitive how to play and what to do. I moved to an air bubble without thinking, I could feel it will be something positive ( increase the oxygen ). I also liked falling and moving and the controls in general. Well done

Cute quick little game. The ambience especially in the deep depths was awesome. Short and sweet experience, bravo.

Found the treasure in 03:18. I liked seeing the suggestion of a peaceful retirement in the ending, and the atmosphere was very well done, almost turning into a horror game by the end. I would have liked to see some more interactivity or exploration elements, but very well done overall.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! I had some more stuff planned but I sadly had to scrap it due to time.

Nice little game and good use of the theme also that main menu and transition was great loved how clean it was. Nice gameplay and the effects when under the water really gave off that underwater feeling well done on the submission

Nice game, feeling really responsive and immersive due to the "darkening" of the screen the deeper you dive.

nice game

I really liked that it used the old Minecraft oof sound! I also really liked the atmosphere change when the player enters the deep waters.

There could have though been a bit more gameplay elements than just diving deeper.

Thanks for your feedback! 

I agree with you on that. I had more mechanics planned but sadly wasn't able to make it happen due to time.

I'll try to play your game later today :)

very fun game.  A well designed level and good sounds lmao. Fun idea and good executed. Only two hints: when you die, make it that you can play the game faster, and the music is a bit repetetive. But overall a very solid game and definitely one of the better games.

Well done!!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll also try to play your game later today! :)

Match with theme. Menu is cool. I did not live longer enough to see deeper but I think there are'nt lots of variation. It was nice to play.

Developer

The game becomes a lot darker and visibility will become limited. The type of fish will also change.
