Thanks so much for playing and for the detailed feedback! The player animations are indeed somewhat WIP, particularly that falling animation, I need to rethink that entirely :) I love your suggestion of the player gasping for air as they start to drown, I definitely want to add that in!
Thank you for a thorough description of the bugs too, the ropes are still very much "pre-alpha", they may be reworked entirely at some point since they're obviously quite buggy still :)
Thanks again!
