I very much enjoyed the simplistic/minimalistic art. Not so much the air time bug. But I had no issues with stalling.

This bug is so annoying haha xP Thanks a lot for playing!

It was a bit, yes.

Thanks for sharing!

I really like the minimalistic animations, makes it feel kinda experimental! Performance needs some work tho as my browser froze multiple times during loading and playing. :D Still well done!

Developer

I was afraid of the performances too as my own computer had a hard time loading it haha xP I might have done something wrong with the visual effects, I'll try to learn more about that later.

Thank you very much for playing!

Your art and animations are always charming and amusing. I especially appreciate the the doodles in the tutorial (and ALWAYS grateful for the inclusion of a tutorial in general). Having to guess how long you've been under water was also a nice touch. Annnnd the music and sfx really fit perfectly!

Thank you for passing by and for your kind comment! I'll try to add tutorials more often then :P

An unparalleled gaming experience! The core design is incredibly strong, and I’m thrilled to say that I learned a lot from your game! I'm curious—are you an artist? The character designs are truly beautiful! Keep up the amazing work!

Developer

haha thank you xP I'm glad if you did. I'm not an artist, I just like drawing. Thank you for playing!

The concept and idea for this one is outstanding! (i kept either going up way too soon or dying because it was too late to go up after noticing that I was flashing :/)

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feedback! I hope it was not too frustrating ^^ there is also a bug when you retry multiple times, the max oxygen counter does not reset so it might be even harder to estimate how much time you have left. I'll fix it after the jam probably ^^

Very fun entry!

It's amazing how much you can do with so few frames of art especially when it all goes together! I think the game looks and plays great. I had a lot of fun seeing how far down I could go and get back up with only timing myself; no clock or phone, etc.

Kinda makes me relive seeing how long we could hold our breaths underwater as kids too. Great idea and execution!

I only  found one bug after you Retry once or twice, it initially resets the Max oxygen to 20 but I think the variable in the background is not reset because once you collect more air your oxygen shoots up to what you ended with last time but you don't actually have that much air left.


Developer

Thanks a lot! I think you have the best official score so far haha ^^ I'm glad you liked the concept, I tried to keep it simple but I hoped it could be fun at the time, so I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

love the atmosphere, its like comforting and also really tense at the same time!! also I really like your art style, and the player sprite going from colour to black and white is honestly a really nice addition! :D 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm glad you like the atmosphere, I think the ocean is a bit empty and boring but I'm glad you like the art and animation!

Interesting game! The art is unique!

Developer

Thank you very much!
