How does your game fit the theme?
In the game you need to dive deeper into the sea to gain more points.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Some pieces of code were taken from a youtube tutorial "Make Flappy Bird in 5 Minutes" by Sasquatch B Studios. Assets that I did not create can be found in the credits section on the game page and in the game itself.

What a fun game! 🐦
Things I enjoyed ✔️
- Honestly was not expecting such a fun flappy bird like experience!
- I love the going deeper part of the game, I like how the rocks fade in and putting a spin on the flappy bird game!
- Sprite work is very well done!
Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷♂️
- Honestly cant think of anything!
Overall 📓
Great work on the game! I had such a fun time playing it! Great job!

Fishing Time 🎣What an incredibly clever twist on the Flappy Bird formula. I can only second what many others have said, but the realization that the game wanted me to intentionally fall into the water and then actually dive deeper myself — what a cool expansion on the concept, and needing to time your returns to the surface (and still dodge pipes there!) is a crucial detail that keeps it from being too simple. Awesome stuff!

Into LeviathanHAHA i was like it's nostalgic for old android users but suddenly the bird went underwater and i was flabbergasted! Really cool way to transition. I think you'll love my puzzle mystery game too.

Finding GeckoWell polished! The concept is cool, it's a nice revisitation of Flappy Bird. I enjoyed playing it. Keep it up :)

Deeply OutGreat idea and great execution. Only wish that the difficulty would ramp up faster. It was really fun!

Volatile VentureConfused at the beginning I quickly became addicted to the game when I figured out what was going on. Nicely spinned on its head concept and cool use of a theme for such a simple game. Great job ;)

How Deep Can You Die?Fun twist on flappy bird! Took me a bit before I realized about the diving part at all, but that's just my problem. Very fun entry!

Reel 'Em and Deal 'Em!I was playing Flappy bird for 10 minutes before realizing what the text was telling me. Nice twist!

Survive The DeepBrilliant Game! Here are my Takeaways!
- The Game's feature of diving down to get more points is well thought out, and it was a good idea to include air bubbles along the way :)
- The Gameplay loop is simple, yet addictive; Surface, Down Down Down, Avoid some dripstones, Dow, Low on air, Go up UP UPPP, Ahh Air - Repeat
- The 1 main issue with the game is that there is no real "motivator" to keep the cycle flowing; There is nothing that compels players to keep playing beyond 10 points.
So There you have it! Brilliant Game, Well Executed, has a LOT of potential :D

Deep SeasFun music paired with undeniable gameplay. While the influence is obvious, the gameplay loop is very distinct from flappy bird, with new variables bringing elements to the table that fundamentally transform the experience. One of the most fun games I've played in the jam!
