How does your game fit the theme?
In the game the player must win a diving competition; To do this, you must seek to obtain one of the three medals. Also, the girl diver struggles with memories and words that either boost or hinder her performance. It's about a diver with deeper thoughts because the fear.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
About the code and graphic assets, yes, I did, they are mine. But the music and sound effects are not mine, that's why I do the right credits to the authors.

Brillant for a so-called "beginner", I like the ambience. The game design have a real touch between melancholia and determination and it demand to retry for perform. Very nice one. GG

Seas Never ForgetI feel like the gameplay is a little monotone, you are literally expecting the player to do the same thing over and over which is not the best game design, I feel like even throwing slight changes like changing the height or having jump specific tasks on the side like number of flips or landing angle could mitigate it somewhat. Also the fliping feels very rigid I think applying torque and angular drag could have been a more intresting solution than just changing the player angle whenever the button is pressed

Deeper into the DungeonI appreciate the comment, but I think you misunderstood the point of the game. It's not really a game in which you have to complete missions or lengthen the story; The objective is only to make the most turns and fall as vertically as possible in the water, all of this you do three times (hence the three attempts) to receive the average grade of the judges at the end. It's not an rpg, it's not an arcade with levels, you just have to make the best score to get one of the three medals (bronze, silver or gold). The game works like a diving competition; the diver must jump several times into the water looking for the best rating from the juries, remember that there should be no distractions. My game is a short game and that's it, you have to do the three jumps and that's it (if you want to get a better medal you can play again, but that's it). I know that the story is not line, I know that the music is not the best, the graphics are very poor and there are no sound effects. I accept the criticism, but I think your comment is focused on a more complex game, and my game is not that complex. Thank you for comment!
I understand where you're coming from and I'll explain what I meant slightly better. Every game makes trade offs some trade readability (gameplay) for visuals, I just feel like you traded of gameplay for story and went slightly too far with stripping it off it, the suggestions I was making were just examples for making the gameplay less monotone and consequently more engaging without interfering with the story part of the game, cause if the gameplay is nothing else but a pause between portions of the story then, I feel like you could have just as well written a book instead of making a game.
The idea is good, and i like the controls, but i feel like the game doesn't tell the player what's the correct angle to dive at, it would've been cool if the player actually went underwater and the score depended on how deep you dive, and the better your jump angle is the more you score

Deep TroubleThe idea and music is good, but the graphics and mechanics are rather weak. Good luck)

Souls Binary AbyssNice, it took a couple tries but I got the silver, then the gold. I liked the judge's silhouettes.

Scuba Steve's Salvage SquadFun little game.
I got the gold medal after a few tries and had to laugh a lot when I flew way too far over the pool for the first time.

Stage DiverUnique take on the theme :) the art's really nice too; the character contrasts well with the background and i like the color choices. but the font is pretty hard to read, and the punctuation characters seem to be missing. That was pretty much my only complaint about this game lol. Great job on everything else!

Deep Divenice game it's pretty fun, but i don't like how you have to go and read the story and stuff every time you lose and also the font for the story is a weird font it's hard to read.
