That was fun. Loved the moodiness. I saw the occasional air bubble on the ground. Was that intended to be a health recovery power-up?

No actually, they were supposed to be empty diving suits implying that divers have already died in the ship and had their bodies removed
Loved the idea and the prompt. Needs journals on the dead bodies ASAP to expand on the lore. Gameplay is cool, but the lore is really awesome!!

That was really fun, ran super smoothly and felt like a chill version of Galaga style games.
Awesome game, was really hooked. Bit of sad ending though :C
I in particular liked the visual effect when jumping :) Also great music and nice snappy movement. I liked how the earlier divers showed danger ahead. After a while it became a bit repetitive - it would have been great to get some reward for shooting enemies, like a more powerful gun. In the end, I died tragically. But I think this was a nice one, good job :)
I loved the art! The parallax, the squash and stretch, the way enemies flash when they are hit...all amazing! The jump sound got annoying, but that can easily be fixed by varying the pitch. The other problem I had was that between your slow speed and death resetting you to the very beginning, it makes even minor deaths really really tedious. Loved the art, loved the combat, really cool game!
Very well made, and I love the music. Got a repetitive and therefor sadly never got to the ending. But overall a good jam game. Well done.
