Simple and fun, when the shooting fishes showed up it got really hard haha!good job!

So to be honest, I've played a bunch of other "Dive into water and avoid things" games so far...

...but I gotta say, this one is far and away the best one!

It's super well balanced, the difficulty ramps up very smoothly, the enemies are really interesting (I especially like the Foosh -- Homing + Lunge worked really well here!) and I liked mechanics like reduced light (for the first 50 meters I was like pssh who needs a flashlight but by 500 meters I was desperately searching for one!)

If I were back in high school computer lab, I'd definitely skip all my assignments and just play this.

Great job!

I started a bit confused, but after that initial learning curve, it was fun! After a while though, the game got a bit repetitive and went on for too long. Same goes with the boss at the end, it was super fun for a while, then it just got repetitive and way too hard. Nice game overall though! I really liked the music and the art was great too!

It has the feesh and the foosh! 10/10 would play again

excellent entry. the developer said this was his first finished game! way to go! This is a solid entry for the game jam.

Great game! The way you pulled off the light effect was really great, worked very well. Glad to see more Godot games. :smile: Simple game to understand, and very effective type of game for a jam of this size.

great game, fits the theme, fun gameplay, good graphics and really cool but it`s a little hard Overall (4.5 / 5)

These fish are ruthless. Great job, with this, it might be a bit too hard for me, but I like these kinda arcade-y titles. Now if only I was a bit better.

The game started as very easy but later on got quite hard. I liked the variety of enemies and the graphics. It surprisingly was a very zen-like experience :smile: Great job! Congrats!

Simple concept but well balanced, a lot of different interesting ennemies and a surprise at the end (!)

Nice entry ! Simple concept but well built. Good job !

it is very funny that we made a very similar game! :) I like the real time version of the same idea. We only added a twist that you have to go back to surface, but without that feature I see that it also get interesting. Great game!

The gameplay and music was relaxing. I got to the end boss and had no idea what I was supposed to do. It seemed like fish would come out and explode and hurt the boss, but it was so random I felt like I wasn't doing anything.

The game is addictive, good job for Jem))

If you diversify the background, you get super

Good game and nice little tune, giving the background some texture though would be nice.

Nice entry, and fits the theme well! I couldn't make it to the bottom of the trench, got eaten by the... snarks? somewhere between 500 and 600 meters. For LD, it could be a little bit shorter or include a checkpoint or two :)
