This seems like a cool exercise in philosophy.

I will say that had I not read the use of limitation I would of thought that the game was broken somehow. Too counteract this I would of printed some kind of message to the screen on death to encourage the player to keep on going and I would of written a few to keep it varied to tell the player that this was meant to happen while driving through the point of the game.

I think there were some collision issues as I started to get up the hill I kept spawning inside the hill in some kind of underwater hell of stretched sand columns XD

Hi there!

I've played it, got to the gold nugget, but nothing really seemed to happen. I tried walking back into the sea to trigger the end state you hinted at but it just gave me another retry.

As far as the content is concerned, the retries are a bit too frequent in my opinion, combined with starting at the surface and slowly sinking down, to then slowly make a little bit of progress before it repeats, makes it feel a bit slow and tedious.

Nevertheless, I am intrigued as to what the end scenario would look like, feel free to give us a hint as to how to achieve it.
