How does the game fit the theme?
In this game you play a game of "chicken" to see who can dive closest to the seabed without touching it. The thing is, you won't be able to see as you approach the bottom. Do you stop early and risk losing to your opponent? Or will you stop too late and risk failing completely?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made everything from scratch!

Nice game, loved the idea! CPU is too overpowered though I was only able to win him once :(
Thank you!! Yeah he's a tad OP lmao, something to work on
Very cute and simple game! no complaints! maybe just some immersive sounds?
For sure, good idea! Thanks for playing!
Simple yet quite nice concept!
Thanks for playing!
I like the concept of the game and it's fun to play.
Thank you!
A great idea and excellent execution!
Thanks so much!
sweet, simple, short, loved the visuals and i love a good pico-8 game!
Thank you! I love PICO-8, so cool
Beautiful in its simplicity, cool visuals
Thank you!!
I didn't get the game at all, even after going to how to play section! I liked the visuals, though.
Thanks for giving it a go, I'll see what I can do to make it more straight forward
Thank you so much!!
The game is really simple yet very creative!
// I'm very bad at timing, and CPU always win bruh, they stick to the floor every time T ^T
Thank you! Hahaha, I will work on that CPU. He's just too good lmao
Very unique game idea! I really like the overall artistic style, as well as the music and sound effects.
Thank you!!
Simple, yet fun. Awesome little game!
Thanks for playing!!
The idea is simple, yet fun to play more and more. When the sea became darker, giving hint using sfx or camera shake or other methods will bring the game more alive and gave a pattern to understand. Great job!
Thank you so much! Good idea, definitely something to add
yo thats a very cool game idea make sure to rate our g ame also :D
Thank you! Will do
I like the fish
Thanks! Definitely spent way too long on them lol
One of the game that fits the theme very well!
Really like game like this! Simple, daring and fun! I had to open up my timer to help time myself to have a better chance again CPU hahaha.
Thank you!! Yeah lmao, I was counting mississippis, fingers and everything haha
Really nice idea. Insane that you made this in a day, well done!
It's pretty addictive too. My only gripe is that the CPU is a little too good at times, they were frequently stopping within a fraction of a second from the sea floor.
Thank you so much!! Lol that pesky CPU... Yeah I think I need to add some weight to his RNG, so the lower depth is slightly harder for it to achieve. Good feedback thanks
The mechanism is simple but the thrill is real. It really got me sweating. It would be a really cool party game to play with another human player. Great work!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing!
This Game is really fun, i loved the arcade style it was really cool, You can clearly see that this was something with with love because of all the cool details, most notably the Startup Boot screen :D
Rated 10/10 Great Game :D
Racookie Heist
Thank you so much!! Wish I could say the bootup was my touch haha, but that's a PICO-8 thing (Fantasy game engine with big limitations).
Ah, okay i guess that makes sense, still consider its a happy accident as it fits the game perfectly and it fit the game albeit not on purpose XD
I hope you enjoy mine as well :D
Cool old arcade visual style. I love it!
Thank you!
