How does your game fit the theme?
The player must collect crystals underwater so they can buy more oxygen, so they can go deeper and collect more crystals and so on down to the bottom of the cave.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

Cute graphics, music is matching with the game. I couldn' find out how to buy upgrade :( And it was too hard for me to move around with that size and wall colliders. Love the idea. Good job!

Developer

Hi, upgrades were automatic, every time you collect enough money your max oxygen increase. I understand that it might be confusing because at the beggining I was planning to add an actual shop and only remnants of it remain in the game. Thanks for playing!

Really love the simple style and mechanic, it works really well. Had a lot of fun and nerve wracking moments when doing a deep dive.

Only thing i'd point out is to make the game a bit shorter for a gamejam, maybe make the player win the game at level 5 or so.


Great work!

The game is simple with a simple mechanic. The audio and visuals are coherent. However, I find it kinda annoying to play, especially with the controls and the high friction between the player and the walls. Also, it could use a little more spice, like maybe different upgrades instead of just max o2. Overall, it's a good game, and with a little bit of polishing, it could become great time killer.

Thanks for feedback!

Really cool graphics and audio.

The graphics and music really work in this game, i love how simple yet challenging it is. Well done!

I liked the graphics and sounds. It was easy to get stuck in walls, and the backwards controls were a bit confusing, but I had fun.

Pretty fun. Clear and meaningful progression.

Swimming till your legs don't work!

Things I enjoyed ✔️
  1. I like the retro aesthetic while playing the game, the overlay effect mixed with the killer background music was amazing!
  2. I liked that you used the capsule as the main character, it actually worked out very well in this game.
  3. I enjoy that you had the more expensive gems in the harder to get places, made the high risk high reward and addicting concept!
  4. I like how visually simple the game is, it is really easy on the eyes, and matches the retro aesthetic im guessing you were going for.
Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️
  1. I felt the controls could have been a little more polished I saw myself getting stuck on the walls, and it made it really hard to swim in some areas.
  2. I don't know if it was intentional but you are able to grab gems even when there is a wall between you and the gem/crystal.
Overall 📓

I liked your game, it was simple, yet fun! I feel if you polished it up a little more I could definetly see this being a payed experience, again, great work!

This game reminded me a lot of my child hood games from miniclip.com and mostfungames.com. The ending was unexpected and funny XD

Great game! really enjoyed the controls which felt really intuitive. The music was really fun as well.

Submitted

Nice entry, movement was confusing and unsatisfying tho

Submitted(+1)

To be honest i felt the opposite, reminded me a lot of the top-down driving games such as the original GTA games, including gta: chinatown. I guess I had an advantage from these, so the moement, although still confusing, was relatively easy to get the hang of

Submitted(+1)

Really fun concept! The movement controls are hard to get used to, but I get the idea. Nice visuals and audio. Well done!

Developer

Thanks :D

i died :( getting completely stopped by the walls was a bit infuriating, but if thats what you're going for, you did a good job.

Very nice :)

Submitted(+1)

Really cool concept and it fits very nicely with the theme. The controls were really novel, maybe if the walls let you slide or bounce a bit it wouldn't be so challenging. Either way, great work!

Developer

Wall bouncing is an interesting idea... I will consider that. Thanks for Playing!

Submitted(+1)

Was fun to play! Cave was challenging to explore. Sometimes the controls felt a little confusing. Good game, overall!

Developer
