Hello! Nice game, although I don't know if I got very far, I would say I enjoyed playing your entry. The first thing I noticed was that the game kept crashing every time I touched an enemy, but hey, I guess that's one way to do a death mechanic. I also thought the dialogue was pretty fun and I enjoyed the section where you have to climb the wall using the bubble and the rock, although I didn't find if there was any other use for it.

 I also got softlocked a couple of times at the bottom of the map(?) where the only way forward was through a tight corridor with an enemy and some spikes in the ceiling, and my jump was not high enough to get out of there, so the only way out was death.

A couple of other critiques I would have are that I really did not have any idea where I was supposed to go in the game, so some direction in that would be great and although the controls felt pretty good otherwise, jumping out of water felt pretty clunky and the jumping and gravity are a bit too fast for my liking when you are out of water. A minor nitpick I also have is that the sound in the section with lots of bubbles can get quite loud.

Regardless, the game was fun enough for me to keep trying after a couple of deaths and I thought the pixel art and animations were good and the double-oxygen meter mechanic was unique and has potential if expanded upon. Maybe it could work if the gameplay was more different when out of water versus in water?

Anyways, nice entry!

I really enjoyed the smooth controls and animations in this game. Will definitely keep an eye on its development.  But maybe rename the zip folder to MM22 rather than wonderjam5 it gives the impression that this game was developed for a previous jam?

The controls and switching through the water is really creative! And the animations are actually amazing! The game crashes any time I touch an enemy or spike :( but the other parts are great!

really snappy controls i loved playing it outside the water i did get one error though when i went to jump on a npc inside the water something you can look into but overall very good aesthetic great colour scheme

the little axolotl spinning animation is amazing, i wish there was sound but i will accept the little axolotl spinning in it's place. i went to the right at the start and managed to get a crispy jpg of a crab, which i think gave me the dash ability, but there was no way that i could find to get out of that area after i got it. i really like the bubble mechanic, and the idea of just getting guys out of your way instead of hurting them. the whole thing is very cute!

I really liked the very cute animations and how fast you are outside the water. They have belly buttons!!!! I don't know why they needed that. But I love it!
Also the idea behind the waiter-air-balance mechanic is nice. But I think, it should charge faster. so you really need to try and keep it in balance.

I really missed sound (background & sfx), though. I don't know whether this is a bug or you simply didn't have sound. 

And I did not like that you would continuously jump, if you held down space. 

The bubbles, could be an animation than an upscaling. The upscaling makes it feel a little out of place. 

Did I mention how much I love these adorable animations?

I am really curious into what this game will turn in the end once it is fully finished.
