How does your game fit the theme?
It's a game about diving, literally and metaphorically, deep in the ocean and in the players mind, where you have to fight against your own counsciousness to survive and keep diving deeper.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we did all the code, art, the main song and sfx. Only the background sound and font were not from scratch.

Really good, the atmosphereis great and works well with the theme, and I really like the art work. The sanity meter is also a good mechanic and works really well. Good work
Atmospheric game. Simple controls and good graphics
A simple and effective little game! The whole atmosphere is well done and the zoom in while restoring sanity is a clever solution. Congrats!
Good graphics and good gameplay idea
Thank you!
The delay on the sanity restoring mechanic was a smart decision.
Simple and effective! Also, good use of Post-Processing effects.
Great job!
The delay was a must haha thank you for playing!
Nicely designed! It took me a minute to figure out the controls but other than that, very cool!
We really needed something to instruct the player, thanks for your feedback!
Very nicely done.
Letting my sanity drift away in the depths of an inky abyss happens to be one of my favorite pass-times.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed!
Really cool take on the theme with nice graphic and atmosphere, but I find gameplay to be a bit clunky to control. I think that the meditating mechanic is a bit punishing as you're standing still and the camera zoom in so much that it's really hard to react to incoming attack.
Thanks for the feedback! We will take that into account, the meditating mechanic really made the game too dificult
this gloomy atmosphere is perfectly conveyed to the player. I even wanted to do something similar in terms of visual
Thank you!
Very fun, good job
Graphics are great! Love that I can play the game on my phone. MOBILE GAMES UNITE! Little tricky with the meditate mechanic, but I guess that's the point. Still had fun. Good job!
Awesome game. I really like art direction for this. The chromatic aberration(think that's what it is) really helps it out. Sound design is pretty good. I think the gameplay gets boring before too long but the atmosphere is great :)
I appreciate the feedback, thanks! We are looking forward into adding more features to our game after the deadline for voting!
The meditation/sanity meter is really something (it does zoom in a lot tho), making the player go crazy over time! You can maybe make time go slower when meditating, or the player can also perceive other details faster i.e. time feels slower. That'd be fun as well. A unique take on the diving part. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback! The idea of making the time go slower is really interesting, ill take that into account
This game is so beautiful! I enjoyed playing it very much!
Thank you, I am glad you liked it!
Quite a relaxing game actually :) I got a score of about 300.
loved this but the meditate button made no difference on the ApK file version I downloaded. So I could only get a high score of 155 and it limited my enjoyment of the game sadly. Great work. Felt scary diving down and losing my insanity 🙃 keep up the good work 👏
I'm sorry, the button on the APK is actually working but it is a lot slower than the button on windows so you need to hold it for a while. This is a tragic issue so I am sorry that it made your experience worse 😢
I just uploaded the WebGL game version and took the opportunity to fix the button on mobile too, so now that's everything okay with the APK!
Great game. Love the creature designs and artstyle.
Thank you, it's great to hear that you liked the art!
Very nice game with excellent graphics and sounds)
You should post this game on PlayMarket after this GameJam.
What can be improved: add a game icon for the phone and make the effect of replenishing sanity a little faster.
Thanks for your support, we appreciate the feedback, and maybe, after some updates and improvements, we shall post this game somewhere else on the PlayMarket!
Amazing effects! Took a while to figure out what I was supposed to do though lol
Thanks for your feedback! We just didn't add a little tutorial in the beggining because of the lack of time 😭
I would NEVER do that .... 🫣
Love the design. I needed some time to understand what to do but really liked the idea !
