Definitely fun and original, but it took me a moment to learn how to shoot as I didn't see any controls in the game or your page. I can easily see how this could be scaled into a full release. The blood animation made me think that you could have enemies (like sharks, for example) that start to chase the diver when they bleed, creating a whole new level of difficulty. Great work!

Thank you for the feedback, It seems that we forgot to list the controls in the description. I like the idea of blood becoming a mechanic, If we take this game further we will defiantly consider adding this.

Oh cool! I'm flattered that you liked the idea. It's all yours! I look forward to seeing your future work and future iterations of this game!

I didn't notice a giving up control part, it was interesting to control both divers at the same time. Some sound effects could add to the immersion. Could be a good game with time and love!

Sadly, a bug was introduced last minute that basically ruined that aspect of the game. The game is meant to split into more and more simultaneous levels, however a single line bug meant that these rooms don't generate past the first time. It seems we were a little too ambitions with this one but will look to polish this game a little more soon.
