How does your game fit the theme?
You dive deeper in the water caves.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Some scripts very taken from our old games.

great game! I like the art
The graphic and theme hits the mark! The air mechanic is also create very active gameplay. Some early part of the game has a bit too little of margin for error for the player, combine with the slipperiness and the hitbox of the fish can be a bit too difficult for the player. I love that you incorporate the story with the gameplay itself.
Yeah the game is way too difficult, but we kinda realized it way too late when our friend was playing it, but you actually completed the game really fast, it took like 10 min in the way too difficulty green place thingy and you did it in like 3 or 4, also yeah the player is kinda slippery, but the hitbox is actually really small for what it looks, it's just a small circle in the head of the fish.
Easily one of the best games of this jam. Awesome graphics, engaging gameplay, a ton of content and of course, a hilarious story. I really enjoyed taking revenge on Max the tax taker in a very creative boss fight. This is an insane submission, great job!
Congratulations for beating the game! We kinda made the game way too hard and realized that too late, and didn't really expect for any one to actually beat it, but your the second one to do that.
Really beautiful arts ! A very good and fun game, I really liked the idea of having limited oxygen !
Very creative concept done well
But what this has for me is the absolutely hillarious story
The fact that Max just yoinks gills from Terry gave me a good laugh
great
Yooo this is great!
Perfect game ! Love the esthetic and the story ! Also the level design was on touch. Great job !!
Hard but neat!
I got stuck after getting the dash, the game would restart in a strange place and I can't control the fish anymore =/ too bad because I was enjoying it xD
How did that happen, I tried getting the dash and dying, but nothing happened?
Okay this one was SUPER cool.
It starts weird and the plot is silly, bordering on insane, like a dark 90s kids' cartoon vibe. I LOVE it.
The movement was a bit infuriating at parts and in some places you were pretty much expected to die in the caves, Could be a bit less rage-inducing but since you respawn as soon as possible I think that's not much of a problem.
The song is okay but feels a bit like an afterthought. Sound effects are great though. I just felt it lacked a "losing" sound effect, something dramatic but short.
The visual of the game is amazing, I really liked the water effect and how it gets darker as oxygen runs low, that's great. The fish exploding when touching the spike things is brutal, the underwater mine too but that's expected from an explosion!
I took a while to understand I actually entered a boss fight by the end, but it was nice megaman touch, the walls closing around. One thing I'd complain about the boss is that at the latest stages of the fight, it can ask you hit a high point very above the water, if you go vertically it pretty much sets you for failure as the evil tax fish will get you.
The ending... LOL, good job. It really kept its silly dark vibe.
A really nice surprise. Kudos!
You completed it? The fact that the game was like WAY too hard, was reallized little bit too late, when our friend played this game after submitting, so I kinda didn't expect that but yeah, in the green place that fast run thingy, is way too hard, I nerfed it like 3 times, but not enough I know.But about that boss thing, I had code that limited the height a valve could be selected from the water, but I guess I made limit little bit too high.
Yes sir, took a few runs on the boss fight. after managing passing through all the difficulties on the way I was too stubborn to give up on the boss fight.
Really liked it! I love the backstory, love the hand-drawn style. it all matches really well. Mechanics are clear very quickly. Its definitely not easy, some parts are really tricky to get through, but it is very forgiving to just try stuff out, and fail.
Cool game . the water effect and artstyle were great .
Really good good game!
Very unique visual style and no less unique gameplay. Very cool game.
The gameplay, audio and artstyle were very nice and the starting cutscene was pretty funny. I got past the spiky hills to a checkpoint but couldn't really understand where to go next. Does something open up in the previous checkpoint. If so, the game is actually pretty difficult. Good job
When you click the lever, one door opens earlier, and then in the other direction there's another lever, and after opening both doors, there's a thing that can allow you to progress.
What the heck. It has a 5/5 in every category from me. No way you are not a progessional :D The intro scene made me laugh so much :D
The art style is awesome, really like it. The main core is also enjoyable, challenging. Very cool, congrats!
the game was hard but fun i liked the art style but culdent get passed the spiky cliffs becuse of low oxygen
Really unique idea and works really well. Great art style too. I found it a bit difficult to control and avoid some of the obstacles. It's a great game and matches the theme really well.
I can guess where you quit😂
