I got the idea for this game a time prior to the jam. I thought it is a good chance to begin developing when I found the jam and its easy rules.

Is there more to do than getting the handful of gold bars?
I noticed, when you're floating high enough above the water you can break through the barrier to find an island, but beyond that the movement speeds drops down significantly.
What's missing a bit is that the angle of the diver needs to correspond on whether you climb or sink, and diving "backwards" needs the diver to turn around...
Good thing that the oxygen in the tank is not consumed because the tank has already been depleted a lot and you can't get into the boat yet and exchange the tank for a fresh one. :D
Lovely graphics!
I love this so much! I am in love with like, anything ocean exploration wise. The cool colors really make it feel like home! The graphics are amazing and the movement is super smooth.
I really enjoyed playing it, but I found my carpal tunnel made it hard to hold and click for a long period of time. I'd love to play it more, I don't know if any other ways to move are possible for you but I'd personally find it more accessible!
Great job!
Thank you so much. I will try to add another input for sure. Glad too know that someone likes underwater games that much like me.
HELL YEAH!! If I can help in any way, lemme know!! We need more underwater games!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. You made my day.
The aesthetics of the game are great.
The controls are a little bit rough to me, but they work.
It's evident that is a game in development. You can fly above the sea, for instance. But the game looks fantastic and it has the potential to become a very funny and addictive game.
I am planning to add another input methods in the next version. Thank you so much.
Please change the font colour on your game's page, black on midnight blue is unreadable...
Sure, sorry for that.
Done. The font now is white.
It's a nice fun simple exploration game. I noticed I could swim above the ocean, and found that the bar of gold icon looks a bit like a shotgun bullet. Will you be planning on making the player feel threatened or curious in any way beyond what you've presented? The background, sprites, water, and use of color are very well put together.
Thank you so much. You are right about swimming in the air, i am still putting all things together. I was shot in time to catch the jam submission date. I am planning to add more to the game.
I really like the look of this game. It’s very retro-modern. I was not able to get it to move or interact in any way. I tried the usual suspects, WASD, Arrow keys, controller, mouse and all were no dice.
Please check the touch circle in the right bottom corner. You should see a small circle inside a large one. You can move the player by mouse or touch (for touch screens) holding the small circle and sliding it inside the large circle. Please let me know if this is not working. I am happy that you liked the look of the game. Thank you.
Ahh, I missed that. Thanks!
