no, the music was made by a friend for a previous brackeys jam game which was never submitted so i reused it in this game, the SFX are from freesound.org everything else was made from scratch

This is AMAZING. IT should rank much higher (#1 is Graphics - all those cool glow, particle effects and the world itself, in the top 5 in audio). Absolutely loved it!! I did try to make a similar diving experience but alas xD

I FKING LOVED UR GAME, not even joking, its FIRE 9/10, music, graphix, story, game play, i loved ur game,  thing u should probably fix is, how i keep rotating all time and no monster could catch me, and i lov the idea of fiing the submarine(sry if im wrong) but like other than that, i loved ur game, i finished it, and the ending is amazing, best 5 min of my life

Developer

wow thanks a lot, i initially put in the light breaking mechanic to prevent just rotating the light to win but it seems the light fixing is a bit to easy…

Submitted

actually good game

Submitted

Awesome game with a simple design. Really enjoyed it.

Submitted

Very well made game! The art is amazing and the final scene is unbelievable!

Submitted

Amazing game! The atmosphere, the pixel art, the ever changing sounds the deeper you go - loved it!

Developer(+1)

thank you :)

The art is beautiful! And the graphics overall - in particular the light bouncing off the marine life looks very cool.

Submitted

I like the art! great work!

Submitted

Very impressive work for only a week long game jam! The gameplay was engaging and the art was absolutely phenomenal!

Submitted

The atmosphere and art were perfect.  I really enjoyed just looking at the fish and jamming to the beat, and I think there might be a good idea there for another type of game. I think the typing aspect of the game was not needed.

hey i watched the clip and it made me very happy seeing someone enjoying my game. I initially wanted to leave the game with almost no gameplay but playtesting it i felt the visuals alone wernt enough to keep people engaged till the end so the original plan was to make two gammodes: ones like the game is rn and one thats longer without the light mechanic and more animals/events, but due to the limited time i decided to only make the game as it is right now

Submitted

I liked the idea of light

But I created more enemies

This is pretty sick! the visuals are gorgeous and I very much enjoyed how simple yet effective the game is! It really forces you to stay put and pay attention! Very great game! :applause:

Developer

thanks

A little history makes the game attractive. The music is well chosen.

Submitted

Amazingly made game, everything from the music to the art was wonderfully made

Submitted
Cool game, loved the look especially of the jellyfish! And loved these cute little easter eggs too lol!
Developer(+1)

thank you :)

Submitted

All around very well done! The typing mechanic to fix the light added a surprising amount of urgency when it would break. Everything from the vibe to game design was fantastic. Great job!

Submitted

Very cool ambient art and music design. I love such oldy and creepy style. Would expect more game mechanics with such design.

Developer

yea like i said before unfortunatly i had not much time left for actual gameplay so its a bit simple, i think i will work on  a mini update during the rating period to release after to make it a bit more entertaining

Submitted

Wow, this was absolutely incredible. Starting from the intro cutscene I was already blown away. Fantastic pixel art with some cheeky Lovecraftian references in there which were great. Then the game starts and the atmosphere is incredible. The amount of extra stuff in each frame is so good. It really feels like you are underwater with all the different sea life, particle effects, and sound design. Then the ending... What?! That was so good! An amazing, massive, detailed piece of art just slow zooming out once you had fallen past the whole thing. Seriously amazing game and I'm looking forward to what you make next!  

Developer(+1)

thank you so much, i spent a whole day making the end cutscene lol

Submitted

Simple but quite cute ^^

Developer

thanks :)

Submitted

Good job with the atmospheric change when going deeper. Somehow I expected to get jumpscared ;)

Submitted

The dynamic art is polished so damn well, really atmospheric!
