I must admit I think the controls are extraordinarily unnatural. I like the minimalist color scheme and sprite art.

If you take the game further, I would really work on the controls as previously commented. If you're using WASD as suggested, Z is underneath you. That's an awkward gesture to accomplish.
I think the fading the screen to black is more frustrating than it is motivating at this point. The character swims very slowly so if you're trying to reach the surface for air, it's really stressful (in an unnecessary way) for the screen to also be darkening. Try having the low end be 50% darkness instead of 100. You'll get the same drowning/dying effect your going for without leaving the player blind. :)
Thanks for taking the time to create it.
Controls weren't very good, but with a bit of tuning, this could be really good!
I like the concept but the controls are a little bit complicated. When the character touch the ground and you press Z he 'jumps' really fast.
I liked the concept and the animations, but also felt that the controls, combined with the limited amount of air, made the game quite difficult. The jet propulsion feature was nice, but also a little frustrating to control.
This was a fun game :) Definitely difficult though!
