Although I was unable to get a submission in for the jam on time, I checked out many games. These were the top 3:
https://thev2andy.itch.io/diving-assault - I’mma be brutally honest, this does not fit with the theme but it’s a fun game and reminded me of many other games like this I played in my childhood
https://hansliu111.itch.io/gettingdeeperit - Liked this one a lot, all I wish is for there to be more levels and make it more clear how to play. I know there is a tutorial level and gameplay video but I think most people miss that. Just make the tutorial level interactive. Also the character could use some more gravity.
https://emiltheapril.itch.io/let-your-balls-fall - This was a great game that met the theme. That’s all I have to say.
