There dosn't appear to be any links to play it?

mugwort 2014-04-28 03:34

I cannot see a link

dreii 2014-04-28 04:24

Hmm screenshot looks interesting, wish I could play...

volute 2014-04-28 04:50

Sorry, I forgot to put http:// in the link and it didn't work. You should have access to the game now.

I like it. Talking to the characters is fun and I liked the diving mechanic. It was a little weird hearing the wind underwater though! Good job on this.

The dialogues are very funny, enjoyed them. These "hold the breath" games somehow manage to scare the crap out of me every time. Nice job!

Beautiful pixel art, nice mood, :)

The wind sound was very moody, but a bit weird that it played while under water. The game is a bit hard. I liked that there were actually a bit of conversation with choices- Good job.

The dialogue is fantastic! Great job with this! I love the little details throughout it. The black background was sort of sinister xD

Enjoyed exploring underwater. The art style was adorable.

I like this swimming animation :D
I didn't really understand where i have to go ... I found a place to take breath, then died trying to find another one ... I met two guys but died before I finished toread what they were saying ^^

A lot of fun, and kind of refreshing.
Nice questing system, though it might be nice to see your current quest or something.

tomboogaart 2014-04-28 21:12

nice simple style, dialogue choices are cool too. I think there should be a way to regain oxygen under water, i found it quite hard to swim back to the surface [but maybe that was intentional??], or I just did not get far enough to figure that out

derosa 2014-04-28 21:13

Nice simple game. Thanks.

jimmyboh 2014-04-28 21:17

Really great job, I really like the style. I used Phaser as well!

soy_yuma 2014-04-28 21:24

OMDOG! Great game! Gave the chills in some moments! I also wonder what is beneath the surface... Grats!

tehryanx 2014-04-28 21:28

lol I played this the whole way through, was super enjoyable. Beautifully weird story and great artwork!

volute 2014-04-28 21:50

Thanks for the comments :)
@TomBoogaart there are water bubbles at several places under the sea.

volute 2014-04-28 22:05

*I meant oxygen pockets :)

jotson 2014-04-28 22:44

Enjoyed it. Liked the dialogue a lot. Had a hard time finding oxygen pockets.

xhunterko 2014-04-28 22:56

Very very nicely done!

nicom 2014-04-29 01:13

Gorgeous game, very moody, I found one air pocket but was unable to get any farther, really liked the style though:)

pierrec 2014-04-29 11:41

Nice little game, congrats!

I wasn't able to find the keys :(

volute 2014-04-29 19:13

Thanks for the comments :)
I've added an hint on how to find the keys.

linuus 2014-04-29 21:42

LOVE IT! I would totally pay for a full version of this, with a bigger map and more NPCs!

The graphics are beautiful and the audiodesign works well even though it's simple.

seconddimension 2014-05-01 15:52

This was great, I love the way it looks, the characters and dialogue are really nice. I just wish I could explore without the constant worries about oxygen supply, as I wasn't able to find many air pockets. It seems like a really great little world that I would like to spend time in
