Beautiful sprites! And very unforgiving difficulty. I think the contrast of relaxing mood but very stressfull gameplay is fun! I feel it would be great for hardcore speedrunners! : )

Love the art, very cute :) My favorite part: "oh, that's a pearl! I probably need to collect it." Nope, it's a huge fish-moster that kills you XD
This is weirdly meditative (the music really sets a vibe) and very frustrating at the same time. I appreciate that it doesn’t game-over you at any point, just moves you further upwards, but the fact that I moved way slower than half the enemies made it almost impossible to progress. With some difficulty adjustment I would have played this for quite a while. Nice work.
quite nice small game, but it's too frustrating that you could pe spawned at the same place where sea creature or fish is placed and you instantly left without bubble =(
Really unique concept! I really liked the dash mechanic. My only frustration is that sometimes it would respawn me on top of a fish, and at one point it did that 8 times in a row without me being able to do anything haha. Overall a very cool game!!
I really like the overall mood of the game, and with the quick respawning it makes the difficulty of the game less frustrating. I think if you were to work on the game more it would be good to keep the game difficult but make it less unfair, as respawning in the path of obstacles and certain obstacles like the rapid schools of fish make it less about skill. Overall though a really meditative game with a nice art style and challenging gameplay to back it up. Great job!
Wow, it's very trip!!!! But it's too difficult, specialy for little fishes!!!
Challenging and chill game. I liked it! It's frustrating to re spawn on top of something and lose the bubble immediately though. Despite this, very good entry!
I like how calm the music is to mirror how this groovy Shaggy like character is feeling as he descends deeper into the ocean. I feel like the controls are a little slow and clunky to get around some of the faster sealife but i do like that you have checkpoints near where you pop your bubble.
One with the see my dudes!
