Dude, give us at least 2 or 3 levels that are not too hard! :D

Fun mechanic to use the oxygen as a resource and a tool at the same time.

Great game! The oxygen mechanic was fun and unique! It was pretty difficult though, but that's part of the fun sometimes :) I also liked the color palette

Super difficult, but very fun!

Fiendishly difficult but great game! I think I ran out of oxygen too holding my breath trying to get my avatar to the oxygen!

I like the oxygen-jump mechanic.. makes for a nice change to usual platforming. I did find the game very difficult! I think I made it to 80m (the one with the big swinging spikes), but just couldn't get through it. I'm know there are people who out there who love these super hard platforming games -- right up their alley. :)

Cute pixel art, reminds me of VVVVVV.

A tough game! The last level is quite the challenge. But I got through!

The relaxing music contrasts with the difficulty, this helps smoothing things out.

Congrats! And thanks for the submission.

I like the nice, simple gameplay and I think the graphics match the style really well.

Love the aesthetic and oxygen mechanic. Would be nice if there was an "easy" mode. I could barely make it to the oxygen tanks and wasn't able to finish.

I was worried the game might be a bit difficult. Looking back at it, I also think the game could do a better job of teaching players how to conserve oxygen. Thank you for your feedback!

Nice simple fun game with a great mechanic, love the art and music, great job!

Fun game! I love the risk/reward mechanic of more height for oxygen, I definitely think I learned to control my oxygen more carefully by the end of the game. The platforming was tough but fun, the fast retry times were definitely good there. The last level was a really good last level, as I sort of had to learn it section by section--it definitely felt like I was approaching the final goal there.

Overall, pretty nice platformer!

Clever mechanism to use the oxygen as resource to power the jump. Also had the good kind of “let me try that again” loop when failing a level. Good job!

Submitted

Well made, polished game that makes you want to try again and again to beat the level you're stuck on. The graphics are simple, but everything fits together to form a cohesive whole.

Intresting concept and idea. Good work!

Thanks!
