A great set of graphics and audio. The subtle shift with the lowpass filter when you went underwater for the first time was a really effective piece of polish. 

I did not like the controls. Have the arrow keys move the harpoon but NOT the vessel was an odd feeling. I would have recommended the mouse for this.

Thanks for the kind feedback, I'm glad someone noticed the lowpass shift!

At first I implemented the controls that way but it was impossible to rotate the submarine when in narrow spaces so I changed it.
I agree that the mouse would've been a better fit though, thanks for the suggestion

Great game! Captures the feel of exploring underwater caverns in a submarine. Movement is quite difficult blends well as part of the learning experience. The added puzzles made me wanted to explore the caverns further. I like the graphics, audio and the overall presentation. Well done!

Nice and fun! Great job on the harpoon mechanics.

I liked the art! Simple, but effective.

Loved the fact that you need to explore to unlock the final part. I saw the pirate mast going down after I blew the rock, and I was impressed.

Thanks for submitting.

Pretty cool! I struggled getting the hang of it at first but then it was great once I got it! I like the super minimal GUI and that the oxygen is the only resource. Good job!

Very nice simplistic art style, I'm gonna have to try that look for a different jam.

I love the mechanic of the bubbles also being the checkpoint and the health also being the air tank. Simple things like this seem so obvious when you see them but they're so difficult to think of from scratch.

Nice game!
