SQUBA is a psychedelic, addictive, retro-vibe action shooter — a side-scroller full of power and energy.
This is a full-blown, hand-built arcade side-scroller — 12 neon-drenched worlds, zero downtime, pure "one more run" energy. You fly through the levels SMASHING cube stacks into oblivion, dodging (or blasting straight through) bouncing balls, spinning stars, rolling blocks and skulls, chaining kills into massive score multipliers, and hunting for the rare jackpot diamond drop. 90 seconds a level. 3 lives. That's it. That's the whole deal.
I have designed every pixel myself. And I built the entire engine from absolute scratch too: no Unity, no Construct, nothing off the shelf. Just vanilla JavaScript and an HTML5 canvas, with every single sound effect synthesized live in-browser instead of using sample files.
Fair warning: the combo systems, the escalating jackpot payouts — I may have accidentally built something borderline gambling-addictive here. No refunds if you lose your evening to this. You've been warned.

Would genuinely love to hear what people think, especially first-impressions on difficulty/pacing — happy to keep tweaking based on feedback!
