In what way does your game fit the theme?
You "rewind" to the perspective of a fellow seal following your lead, who happened to see the demise of your controlled character. You're the new leader.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The code, the ringed seal, animations and cave assets are created by me.
Low poly rocks are taken from the asset store.
Music and sound effects from: Bensound.com and zapsplat.com

Things I particularly liked:
>Seals! I love scuba diving, so this was a nice treat for me :) I liked the seal and animations of it and the general feel of the game
>Nice relaxing audio
>The visuals in the first level were quite calming and relaxing I found (maybe you should lean into that further to try and achieve a relaxed flow state rather than adding the stress of avoiding rocks?)
Things that could potentially be tweaked/improved:
>Difficulty was quite low, which isn't a bad thing if going for a relaxed game (and this is a decent theme for a relaxed game i think). Simultaneously, I found it quite hard to guage the distance of the rocks sometimes, so that might have been frustrating if the difficulty was higher. I also felt I didn't use the stamina bar really, or have a need to.
>I found the turning of the seal in the first level to be a bit weird; I think it probably would have been better for the seal not to rotate at all in the first level, or if so clamp the value much lower.
>Theme: I felt the application of the theme to be quite weak tbh. I feel like going into the perspective of the seal behind is not really rewinding (even if the game has rewound slightly).
Overall I quite enjoyed the game! Nice, simple, relaxing! I can imagine the seals frollicking now :)
