Thank you for playing.

Oh, that’s a real shame; I’d love to know the cause of the issue and where exactly you’re getting stuck.

Generally, the game progresses as you keep moving downwards, and you advance by entering the light at the bottom-center at the end.

I suspect the problem might be that you're getting stuck in a loop because you can't reach the next checkpoint.

Possible causes could include getting snagged on rocks and unable to move down, running out of air because you didn't collect the bubbles,

or perhaps swimming too slowly to reach the destination in time...

If possible, could you share a video of where you get stuck? It would be very helpful for addressing this in the future.

The gameplay is similar, but I’m posting the last two attempts—out of several I tried just now—that didn't work out.
Here is the first one.

And then came the second attempt.
After repeating the same gameplay—which looked virtually identical—for over 30 minutes, I gave up.

Thank you for the video!

It looks like you got stuck on a rock the first time, and simply didn't make it to the next checkpoint the second time.

This was incredibly helpful—thank you.

For the post-game-jam update, I plan to improve the visibility of the rocks and add difficulty settings.

I apologize for taking up your time, but this was a huge help.

I released an update today that improves the visibility of the rocks and adds "Easy Mode" and "Safe Mode."

This is all thanks to michyo. We hope you'll give the game another try.
