Really cool! I'm amazed at how much you managed to do in just 72 hours. I could get lost exploring underwater and listening to the chill soundtrack. As the others pointed out, I do wish the swimming speed could have been faster, though it did make the underwater section feel so huge because of the time it took to navigate it.

One little nitpick is that the animation for the character's head seemed to be quite buggy underwater. Also, when I first went under, I had no idea where to go and didn't find the first collectible for nearly two minutes. Spawning closer to the first collectible followed by seeing one not too far off in the distance could go a long way.

Great work!

It was so awesome to explore the city. It seemed to be so BIG that I lost myself in it. Sadly I also had the feeling that the swimming speed could be a bit faster. Great job!

Really really appealing! I spent at least 45 min in the game, just exploring. The level/word begs to be explored more. I wonder if it's just me or collecting the orbs, which are so nicely placed, gives you a movement boost? Anyway, very nice sound track and world building! Inspiring really!

Really well done Nikki. You have crammed a lot of features into this game jam project in such a small period of time. Not only that, but the whole aesthetic, choice of music, mood, atmosphere etc are all top notch.

You seem to be a natural games designer and the clever placement of collectibles, insofar as whenever you collect an item, if you look around your environment, your eye leads you to another collectible, often a little distance a way.

Really great work.
