How does your game fit the theme?
The main character of the game, Mini, uses his breath to navigate the environment. He can take a deep breath to float in the air and on water. Managing his air reserve is key to get through the levels.

Interesting mechanics. Nice combination of puzzle solving and platforming. I enjoyed the little details like the ducks and cat-bats :) Good job!

Solid take on the theme, with well designed levels

Take on the breathing mechanic that influences movement which in turn influences how the game is played has a good depth to it.
This game was well done in that regard. Super nice & polished artwork as well.
Overall it was a fun experience.

Like visuals. There was a bug when the player drop againsting the wall.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I left that in the game intentionally as you can grab the walls to avoid to fall down and sometime it can be useful. But I am aware the character is shaking a bit and doesn't have an animation to make it clear that is clinging. Definitely something to improve in the future. Thanks.

This game was very easy for me to understand and progress in, even though I don't play a lot of games. I enjoyed playing as it was easy to work out what I had to do next, and it was like a real learning experience with each of the levels adding a clear layer of difficulty. Cute and fun. No awkward glitches or strange buggy behaviour either.

Very well thought, 5/5 theme. Maybe the air tank should be filled a little quicker when holding space:)

Good puzzler. Made it to lvl 12 and got stuck in the textures underwater all the time. However this is jam, so its okay :) Loved the Lvl design - Great Work!

With enough polishing and a decent number of levels this could be a good time killer type of game :)

PROS:

- Great Idea

- Assets are ok

- puzzles are pretty fun

- Air management is difficult but fun when done right

- Level design is pretty solid

CONS:

- Could have faster movement, it feels slow. I understand that it makes level design easier but its just too slow

- Could use more dynamic stuffs to indicate action and increase player in game responsiveness and feedback
