Please don't use an installer when distributing game maker games. I know Yoyo claims people don't like seeing .exes, but zipping those and sending them around is much more accessible.

Game quit on me almost as soon as I started it up (went to the boat by mistake). It'd be nice if it didn't quit but just restarted or something. Same with when you run out of oxygen.

I like aqua nick's dog paddle a lot. Also the gradients are nice. The game reminds me a bit of an old Mario Party minigame. Could do with some sound effects when you hit the enemies (took me a second to realize they were taking a way my oxygen).

Good job!

I hear some RPG Maker 2000/2003 sounds <3. The game is ok. Can't think anything else to say, except that congratz for doing it in one evening.

ok jeah the big red monster-fish was very cool..like to see some more of those weird deep sea monsters..but having the game quit on you is very anoying, i thought i would go to surface to get some air..please provide a restart function or something

Would have been nice to have an indication of the crown goal in the beggining at the start or when boarding the boat (Thanks for playing.. but you didn't get the crown)
I am not sure if the sharks did killed me, or did they have issues with the collisions, some deads near sharks seemed random...

The restart on any finish, or gameover, was a little too harsh on the player, it's far better to leave that decision to the player, for when they had enough of your game.

Anyway, I had fun, and I also got the crown! :)

Enjoyed the game. On additional plays I pretty much ignored the fish as it didn't seem to impact my oxygen all that much. The big red fish however is not to be ignored!

I love games like this! I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series! http://youtu.be/0CjJInaKTls
