Nice! The music gives it a lightweight atmosphere and then... you suffer a horrible fate when you dive too deep for your suit :D I would just comment that the movement feels a bit basic - the player could do with some momentum so it feels a bit more realistic when making those sharp turns.

Cool music and nice graphics! Also the music change on the different levels is nice. Cool shop upgrades. But it was not clear for me how to use them and what they do in the first place. Nice level design! :)
The music is sooo catchy! Love it! The art is awesome too! Great game.

Great pixel art and the controls feel very snappy! Can't believe you also managed to add an upgrade system, well done!
Seems like this game has real DEPTH eheheh.. Please add some cool images & gifs on your LD page to get noticed! Great work!
Cool little game. I want to note that the game has an increasing difficulty.

Absolutely loved the shop/shop keeper, and had fun returning to it over and over. Would have preferred it if I could skip the first section after unlocking the suit because it took me a while to get it the first time.. But ultimately a great jam game, thanks for making it!

@squerf Thank you! I Agree that the momentum would have been more realistic but I thought it made the game a little too difficult.
@Craplex,@gimmers, and @Might Mufflon Games Thank you so much!
@y4nnick thank you! The shop is supposed to give a hint on each item when you hover over it :)
@Patsui Thank you for the kind words, and yea forgot about that part so thank you for the reminder as well.
@MYline media glad you noticed and were hopefully able to beat it with the shop items!

The music tracks are great, the graphics are also well done and the gameplay is very well executed. I was surprised when the second _section_ started and the music changed. So much love for details. The only thing I'd change is the dead of Travis, that felt somewhat disappointing comepared to the rest of the game.

Nice game! I love the idea of a fish in a special suit! Hahaha and the shop keeper! Having to upgrade the suit was a great idea too! Good job!
The character movements are very smooth and pleasant to control. I like the design of the shop, as @gimmers I enjoy to buy some stuffs :smile:
I would like more bonus items : invisibility, speed up, collect more gems ... Different stratum is good because it helps the player to see his progress and it make the game more addictive. Maybe add an fx to rewards the player when he reach an another stratum, the game will be more juicy.
Overall it's a good job.

This is an almost completely finished game! I like the graphics and the controls themselves are quite smooth and pleasant. I also found a bug related to the fact that after death the character can collect gems
