Really like the art style and colour pallet here! The game's fun to play too.
Only criticism is that shooting and retrieving the harpoon should probably be mapped to the same key.
Wow I really like your game, You Had what i wanted to add to my game but I ran out of time. All the oxygen pickups were great every time I found one I was soo happy and kept diving deeper. Sounds are great. Well done!
Through the depths of the water!

Overall 📓
Very fun game! Had a great time playing it! Great work on this one!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, I will look into making the shop part of the main scene.
Lovely game, overall good job! Not much to say about it then good :).
Thanks!
Starting off I love the visuals. The grappling hook mechanic was also neat. One criticism I have is that as you go down it becomes extremely hard to see it would have been nice if there was more vision. The flashlight is great but I don't think it should have been a shop item. But other than that the game was great. I loved it :)
Thanks, I will make sure to improve the visibility at lower depths after the jam.
This is truly a hidden gem. It's criminal that this only has 5 ratings, this is definitely one of my favorite games of the jam. The amount of polishing and balancing you did in 7 days is insane. Not only does it look beautiful, the sounds and atmosphere is perfect. All the little things you did like having the harpoon push you back a bit so you can microsteer, having a max length on the harpoon gun so you can't cheese oxygen tanks, the fish being like the perfect speed... The only problem I had was I accidentally clicked out of the tutorial at first, and so I didn't know what the pearls looked like at the beginning. But that's more of a user error than anything else. I wish there was more content just because I liked playing it so much, I hope you work on it more after the jam! Amazing work!

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it and I'm so glad you enjoyed the game. I'm planning to work on it more after the jam.
im surprised this doesn't have more ratings! the pixel art is superb, and i love the grappling hook mechanic. my only complaint is that once you get far enough, it's near impossible to see the obstacles heading your way. Besides that, this a really good submission. Well done!
Thanks! I really appreciate it, as for the darkness, I did add a flash light (torch) in the shop to help and also made glow sticks generate at lower depths but I will look into this issue after the jam.
The concept is simple and effective, with a great atmosphere that makes you feel like you're sinking into the abyss. Bravo for the work!
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it.
Fun game and real cool Graphics
Thanks!
Good graphics, though i didn't understand the mechanic of the grappling hook.
Thanks for the feedback!, I wish I had more time to create a proper tutorial, the harpoon gun is used to hook oxygen tanks, get clams for pearls and damage enemies in the lower depths.
