Movement speed is too slow for my taste, also mining works weirdly. Graphics are fine but music is too oppressing.

@spaint Thanks for the review! We are aware of how weird the mining is but we just didn't have enough time to fix it during the jam :) And about the movement speed, we had the idea of feeling very constrained and uncomfortable as you are underwater to then purchase the upgrades that make you move more freely, but we understand why some people may not like it. Again, thanks for taking the time to play our game!
I liked the music and the atmosphere. The mood of the game is good. Really beautiful graphics. Great job!
I almost bought the key, but ran out of oxygen. It was very frustrating, so I decided not to start again. I think checkpoints on purchases would be helpful. Anyway, good job. I spent about 30 minutes in your game, you can count it as a success. :)
Nice atmosphere. The movement is kind of frustrating and slow. I would give the possibility to push downward and make the upward push flowless instead of having it working like a jump. The mining feels a little weird, but considering the time limit, it's OK ! That's a good game and with some value tweaking it can be even better. Good job team :smiley:
Very interesting game. One small problem is that the speed of diving is too slow, perhaps adding a downward acceleration button will be better
I actually like your game, the only thing i hate was that if you ran out of Oxygen you lose all of the Progress you made, thats very frustrating
Hey ! Fun Game, but the diving is veerryyyy slow at the start, and it need more sound effects for a better feelings
The mining feature is kinda bugged I think? It seems random or something x) Like click 20 times on block, no desctruction. Moving one meter, clicking once and the block disapear :shrug:
The ambiance of the game should be more moody with a more relaxing music and ambient SFX.
I think you should fix the mining bug (you can do that even after publishing, if you write that in a changelog (see the [Rules](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules) of LDJAM) because it's barely hard to play.
Hope you will be aware of that! :thumbsup:
@curtis-pelissier Thank you for taking the time to play ans review our game! We will be taking into consideration your suggestions, especially the one about mining since that is the biggest bug of the game right now.
