How does your game fit the theme?
1. Underwater dive deeper setting
2. The goal is a deep dive into the mystical knowledge of the ancient runes
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, but sprites were generated by midjourney.

It's a cool concept. Just bit hard too understand at the beginning.
The whole ambience is really nice and fits perfectly to the theme.
Unfortunatly the very long cooldown time between shots ruined the fun a bit for me tbh, especially at parts were lots of enemies are.
But i think with some polishing this could become pretty nice.
Simple graphics, but the game is very good ;) congratulations!
Interesting mechanics, well done!
I enjoyed it very much, the controls were very fluid and the theme was really cool and different. I could see this becoming and good setting for a metroidvania type of game
Hi, during gameplay I missed some information on what to do, but nonetheless, cool ambience and setting for this game jam theme.
I like the vibe overall but it feels a bit directionless at times, and I wasn't really sure what the main goal of the game was. Perhaps with a tutorial it would be more clear! But overall, the mechanics were interesting and if you polished it a bit, it would elevate the feel. Impressed you made everything but the sprites!!
It's definitely an interesting one, but I can't help but point out how confusing everything is. It took me a while to finally understand what I was doing, I feel a tutorial or an explanation in game would definitely help a lot. It also feels really awkward to shoot due to how long the recharge time is and how weak it feels, moving also feels awkward as the guy just slides around. Overall, a pretty solid entry!
Interesting mechanic! With a little more UX and UI polish, this could turn into a cool puzzle action game!
Like the art style and gameplay mechanics
Fun little game, music is good, and I really like the skill machanic. but I think the game could really improve it it had some animations, like the player shooting/swimming. I managed to get to level 5!
Fun game. keep it up♥
Wow, this is impressive that you did that) thank you for playing!
Interesting idea. I liked the art. A little more variation can be added. Good job!
Can you try and rate our game ?
Innovative idea. Needs some animations and finished assets, but great bones so far!
The idea is very creative. The movement is smooth and nicely done, I love it :3. However, I don't know if it's just me that I can't fire with my mouse?
Also, I'm impressed that you randomly change your map, that's fun!
thank you. seems like it is not clear for most people, but you need to generate skill by pressing 1 2 3 4 buttons and then you can shoot.
I liked how the music increased in volume, building up the tension. The visual aspect has some flaws, especially regarding the character's lack of movement when it moves.
I liked the graphics, the UI however was a bit disruptive. Good work!
The rune combination idea is great and that you generate random caves and runes at every start. However the I do not know how to solve this rune. You can not insert empty places so idk how to solve this. It's also a bit unfortunately that there is no music
seems like the game becomes too complex for game jam or I needed to make a tutorial) you need to up your rune level then complete code will be shown. Thank you for response.
So killing more enemies is needed?
yes, they drop experience
Nice game! the artwork looked pretty nice, though it would have been cool for the player to look in the direction it was facing, the skills and objective was a little confusing but overall it was cool design, good job!
Cool theme and environment. It was a bit difficult to know how the different combinations of skills affected the attack and when one combo would be preferred over another. I would consider adding some ambient background music to really push that ancient underwater ruins vibe.
Like Metroid in underwater setting
Interesting but it's not easy to know what to do.
Also i don't know if it's my fault but there is no sound
I did play your game but it was difficult to understand what to do. Also I didn't understand when he was shooting.
You need to generate skill sequence by pressing 1234 then shoot by mouse
Ok, I will try.
