Really nice sound effects I must say. It's really fun though it's really hard to die in this game. I haven't played it much (I played endless for quite some time and the arcade mode up until I reached the congratulations screen. There could definitely be a faster difficulty progression, at least in endless mode.
Also while I was playing I noticed bubbles coming out of the sinking ships and I think it could be a cool idea if those bubbles from the wreckage could help you accelerate up if you position yourself below it and look up. Just an idea though!
I like the detail where the music changes when underwater. Also I have to mention this again: The sounds are really good, especially the ship getting destroyed. The art is also good (would be cool if you had a optional dark mode appearance, but that's probably not a priority for a 10 day game jam lol).
Conclusion: This is a really well done game!

Excellent feedback, thank you for those detailed notes and ideas for improvement!
We really struggled to set the difficulty correctly for the jam. Some of our players found it prohibitively difficult while others such as yourself found it a cakewalk!
I think it’s a lesson for me to try to be a bit more inclusive and make a plan for at least a couple difficulty modes (at least when doing an arcade game) so that everyone can get a chance to give it a go without feeling frustrated.
Thanks for the notes again!
