The visuals and the music is really good. The gameplay was okay, but I would liked a bit more to do. Overall a pretty well made jam game.

How does your game fit the theme?
As a scuba diver, we should go as deep as we possibly can to find The Treasure of The Depth while managing our resources (e.g. Oxygen etc.)
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Apart from sound effects (e.g. water splash, hit, animal sounds etc.), all of the other assets are made by our 3 member team. Including Codes (done by Lera and Fate), Art assets (done by Lera) and Theme Music (done by Narava).

Great game. I loved the mechanics like riding the dolphin and the art.

Going DeeperNice relaxing game, very beautiful, unfortunately also very short. Also, at this level the oxygen mechanic feel kinda unnecessary, since you can neither refill your oxygen nor you lose any progress. Maybe if the oxygen time limit was comparable to the time it takes to reach the depth with some upgrades? Anyways, the core is solid, congrats!

SmorcaThe game has a lot of potential, but barely has any content at the moment, you can get the treasure, and maybe the dolphin, but other than that, there's really no fun to be had.
Currently you don't really feel like you are under water, so maybe you should add a blue tint over the screen and a wave shader, to make it better.
Also a thing I say to literally every Unity game that doens't have this POST PROCESSING, just some little bloom and vignette will go a long way to make your game look so much better, so please, do that.
You managed to keep the pixel size consistent in the game game really well, but the UI has a different pixel size, so you should fix that to make that look better.
And then the game needs some swimming and text appearing sounds, text that appears slowly feels so much better if it has some sounds.
And then a transition, because the hard cut from the menu to game doesn't look that good.
And then some attacking feedback, like the current fish attacked sound is way too unsatisfying, it's so quiet, so you feel really weak and also a fish died sound would be good, to for it to feel even better. Then attacking and fish dead particles, because those also make the attacking feel better.
And when you run out of oxygen and supposedly go back to the surface, you should make it so the player starts automatically going up and then the screen fades to black and then away when back up, because it just cutting doesn't really look that good.
And then a really small nitpick for the last thing, the wall at the ends of the maps are really cool, but there are 2 layers of them, and it would look so much better if there were some parallax.

The Breathless JourneyWhat a chill relaxing experience! I really liked how when you are rewarded when you find the dolphin, getting a speed boost like this is something I wanted to explore in my game. The audio is very well balanced and the music is super impressive! Animation and pixel art was cool too, the character art gave me some Starbound vibes. Only piece of feedback I have would be to skip to the end of a body of text when clicking before progressing to the next section (I accidentally skipped some text so I restarted). Well done!

The Scuba DiverI love the art and sound. I think there is a lot of potential to expand from the foundation you've created here.

Keep DivingMaybe I missed some of the things to do... but somehow I just dove down, found the chest. went up a bit, found the key and won... felt a bit too simple and fast.
But saying that the art looks great (in that I would love to turn in my price, but since I wouldn't know what to do with it, I just applaud you).

UtopenaExcellent package, the art, sound effects, and gameplay all mix together for a great experience. I’m tempted by the treasure but I don’t want to overburden your artist(s) after all the great work they’ve already done!
Great entry, nice work!

Don't Blow Up 3Dlol xD you are right we didnt have to kill nemo! ;-;
thank you for your feedback ^^ thats definitely true that the game world is really limited at the moment, thats becuz we just started game dev and we had to focus more on implementations rather than expansion of the assets. although your feedback is so appreciated by our side!
thanks for playing our game ^^
The art style and animations are sooo good and sweet! The game is very relaxing, and the music sets the right mood. Love your work! <33
