This is cute asf. Music is banging, graphics look good, too. Overall really wonderful. The controls/gameplay are a little hard to work with, but maybe that's part of the charm and the challenge.

I like the gameplay loop. Controls are hard but it feels like it's designed that way. Overall solid work!

Reminds me of the popcap games I played as a kid. Love the style, has a great charm!

Very beatiful graphics, quite a lot mechanics, like that! Reminds me era of flash player games.

Awesome! I love this game so much, the music, the animals, the scene, etc. And it is really fun. Congratz!

Really nice seeing the progression of the submarine and the platform as you go :)

I was not expecting this game to be so addictive! It's fun to play, looks cute and sounds good, too. I would have liked some explanation as to how much the upgrades cost and how they work/help, but otherwise the game is great!

I really enjoyed the art and the animation. Looks like a lot of work went into that. It does feel like a very interactive world. Sometimes the controles feel a little flimsy but overall very well done. Pretty good game!

I found the teddy :D It was simple but great. Nice job

The mood is great and the graphics are pretty cute. The sounds fit the underwater theme. I liked that there was a clear goal that you approached little by little.

The ship didn't feel that fun to control, but it might have been that challenging with crisper controls. The fact that running out of oxygen simply made you resurface made the resurfacing button a little pointless. It was slightly weird that you had to find and buy the upgrades. Finding the upgrades was the bottleneck for me, which made treasures feel a little pointless. On top of this, the upgrades didn't have prices so if I couldn't buy something, I had no idea how far away from purchasing I was. It also was very unclear what most of the upgrades did.

Overall, a cute little game with atmosphere, but the actual game part could've benefited from a bit more polish.

The store isn't entirely intuitive, but overall it's a great game

Nice Entry!

You were right, very similar to my game.

Pros: - Ship Upgrading - Ambient animations (fish, whales etc)

Cons: - I think a general lighting pass may really help here. I think for the sub in general you could add a blueish overlay to it to make it feel more like it was under water. Currently it feels like its sitting above - The resurfacing mechanic felt a little odd and the UI placement of the Oxygen the first few times I didn't even know what was happening. - Some sort of in game indicator around the ship to know Oxygen is below a certain percent could really help the above comment

Nice game. I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/rCfIoJGG3mQ

@jupiter-hadley Thank you for playing and sorry for the lag! :disappointed: I've added desktop versions to the download section now.
