  • Great work! You chose a project type that you could finish within the allotted time... That's important in all aspects of life. The game is a fun little idea; the icons are easy to understand and I know what's going on at all times. The objective is straight forward. One thing that would be a drastic quality improvement; those energy and oxygen bars are hard to see in the top right hand corner of my screen. They should be more centered at the bottom or maybe HUGE! Like, a giant oxygen tank at the right side of my screen taking up the whole vertical width, and the energy across the bottom taking up the whole horizontal width. That would make things easier. Also I'm not sure if hidden treasure is the best "abyss" collectable... would be more fun if you were looking for an ancient sunken city and the background changes as you get closer. Fun little game; you really forced me to NEED to finish it as a matter of pride.

Gameplay Instructions
Use the mouse to steer the scuba diver. Left click uses all your energy to boost. Collect coins for more energy, bubbles for more oxygen. If you hit a shark, bomb, or run out of oxygen, you drown. Find the treasure chest at the bottom of the abyss!

Super fun! I love the combo of the coins speeding you along and trying to maintain that acceleration, and it's a fun secondary consideration making sure you have your oxygen. Good job y'all!
