How does your game fit the theme?
The level design of my game revolves around diving downwards in order to reach the goal, which reflects the theme of 'Diving Deeper!'

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of my own code and made all of my own assets from scratch, apart from an open source font, song, and sound effects generator. For more specifics, anything I didn't do can be found in the credits of the game.

Great game, theball was dropped neither in core mechanics nor level design. Also, the artstyle is pretty neat.

By far the best game that took Diving Deeper as diving underwater. The sound effects made everything feel super responsive, the puzzles were not too easy but not impossible either, and the art is amazing. Great job on this one!

What a game! I really enjoyed it and I loved the idea of a “minigolf” mechanics for reaching the bottom. Nice work here!

Very cute! Lovely music and picel art and very cute ending. The pacing is pretty good and I never found something frustrating or anything. I do think that the game is overly simple and the puzzles never get too crazy but that's super understandable for a gamejam game and such. Very cool overall!

Thanks for the feedback! I was hoping to add a couple more mechanics/features but I had to cut them to meet the deadline unfortunately. I do plan on making a full release of this game in the future with those mechanics implemented!
