Super cool game, good job! The only thing I found, and I'm not sure If this was intentional, but If I leave the whale above water my air time will keep increasing (It doesn't have a cap)!

Very sweet game, I liked the story:) I think it could benefit from a click-to-skip option in the prologue; if you're a fast reader then you're just sitting and waiting. I also found that I could often hold down two arrows together and just keep going without meeting any obstacles (maybe I also got lucky!). Overall, the graphics are really nice (nice job Sir Bubsington!!:D), and well-done on the code - smooth experience. I would've loved a rewards system so I could feel more motivated to push through and go deeper (as in a second objective other than just trying to go down as far as possible). Audio was paired nicely too:)

Very cute and fun game!

Not bad. Nice mechanics and visuals, though a few different obstacle types might be nice. Overall, good job!

good

A super simple and pretty fun little game idea. I overall like the visuals and the music. There could have been a bit more gameplay.  But overall an okay jam game.

Cute little game! Liked the cutscene at the start, and the simple but fun gameplay! Music was also great. Atmosphere was nice but I think that it could use some more background elements, such as other sea animals, plants... Just something that adds life and depth to it. Also, maybe it would be interesting to have something to collect while playing, it could be great to guide the player a bit and also make the gameplay more dynamic. 

Great game! Keep it up! ;)

Now that was a little cute game!

I really liked the art style and the beginning cutscene. The Concept is great but the ocean playground is a little empty if I could put it that way. Maybe you can add some background animals and put the air pockets closer to each other and let them give Bailey more air so we can progress even further

A little bug that needs to be addressed - when I swim up I can constantly go up and down and refill my air timer in that way I can make Bailey last a couple of minutes underwater. The same thing goes for air pockets.

Cheers!

So cute! I love Bailey! It's a great idea, but I would really like to see some movement like Bailey swimming, the seaweed shaking... It's a bit empty so I think adding more animals would be nice! <3
