It's about diving in an unknown water abyss.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The only asset I didn't make on my own is the font i used (Pixelify Sans, OFL).
As for the code, I did all by my self.

I had a great time playing!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. The sprite work is great!
  2. The gameplay loop is alot of fun! I enjoy the fact that you have to collect certain objects instead of just basic coins.
  3. The sound effects are really well done!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. All I can think about is just adding some ambience audio in the background, and possibly having a warning come up on screen when your oxygen is low!

Overall 📓

I had so much fun playing this game! I couldnt put it down! I think you could honestly get this game on mobile and on pc, because this game is great for all kinds of gamers! Great job on this one!

The developer did a great job, the game is very good. I like the overall style of the game, sounds also complement this style. I like game design, it's interesting to upgrade a character. A little lack of dynamics in my opinion, the game is slow. All in all, a good game for a game jam.

Developer

Thanks a lot! I wish I had more time to test the game and make it less slow, but still I'm glad you played and liked it!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing!

A really nice game, the art and audio are perfect, my only suggestion would be to add particle effects when you harvest or when you shoot the enemy. But other than that, the game was fun to play, and the idea is unique.

I really liked the pixel art, especially the character/weapon handling was very well done. I would have liked to hear some background music while diving. 

I think if you had a quicker way to return to the upgrade shop than swimming all the way back, it could have streamlined the game loop somewhat.

Developer

Glad you liked the game. Thinking about that, a quicker way up would be a great feature. Sorry about that. As for the music, I was running out of time so I only had time to make it for the final part of the game. Thanks for playing!

I cant find enough materials to upgrade anything and when I surface and click dive again it resets everything =/

Hi! If you're talking about the fact that when you dive again it shows 0 on every material it's because the counters are for the current dive, you should find all your materials in the shop. As for the not enough materials thing, i'm kinda aware of that. It was difficult to balance the enemy spawnrate and this slows down the game a lot; sorry about that :/
