Ranked from 38 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Theme: "Diving Deeper"

The player character is dreaming about discovering a deep-sea treasure.
You control the player during their dive to the bottom. As the player dives deeper, you'll notice that the atmosphere changes.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all the code and sprites myself. I also made a few sounds myself.


Credits for the things that I didn't make myself:

Font: m6x11 by Daniel Linssen
hurt2.wav by the Cheeseman (Minecraft "oof" sound)
Music: Summer Solstice on the June Planet by Bail Bonds
And a couple of sounds are from Soundly

Nice game! I enjoyed playing it, replacing health with oxygen is a neat idea ^^! The graphics are really cool, and the change of mood the deeper you go is an awesome feeling you nailed perfectly ! However, I don't know if my monitor is too dark, but when the game becomes darker, I really had trouble seing the spikes, which resulted in very frustrating deathes ^^'.

Overall a very enjoyable game, congrats =)

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving feedback! 🙂

The extreme darkness is likely due to a difference in our monitors and settings. I'll tweak the brightness when the jam's rating period is over👍.

I've cleared the game in 02:52. I liked the use of the glow effect, it make the jellyfish looks cool and later in the stage it also worked as good landmark though the dark sea.

very cool game 13/10


EDIT: I put my headphones on and noticed the minecraft oof sound, instant 13.5/10

I'm not very good at the game, but it was still quite fun and I love the concept! I felt like the hurt sound was a bit too recognisable, but it didn't impact my enjoyment at all! Great job! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving feedback! :)

I first tried to make my own sound for the same exact reason, but they all weren't that great. In the end I just stuck with the oof sound from Minecraft since it's already out of the game for so long and some people might enjoy recognizing it😄.

Perfect fun little gem. Took me a while to understand I don't need the ground to jump off though :)

Simple, calming game, with nice visuals and sounds.

The game is great, only thing I would change is giving more space to avoid the fish, when you get deeper (although I get that there should be a difficulty curve, maybe add checkpoints instead).

Great game!

Awesome Game, Clean Music and Clean Visual. The gameplay really reminds me a lot of Growtopia.  Also I got a bit spooked when the music starts to shift, was expecting a jumpscare. Thankfully there's none. I hope :) 

Developer

Thanks for playing! :) I'm not familiar with Growtopia but i'll look it up :D

Great game!  I didn't expected the famous Steve hurt2.wav sound lol, i liked the art style a lot and the different areas, the bubbles are a very clever feature and generally i could dodge easily lots of obstacles, also nice music choice,  good job!

Very nice lil game. I like when it's kind of intuitive how to play and what to do. I moved to an air bubble without thinking, I could feel it will be something positive ( increase the oxygen ). I also liked falling and moving and the controls in general. Well done
