Cool game, took me some time to figure out that you can control the speed at which you dive, and I can't decide if the death sound is the best or the worse thing about the game ^^. Congratulation on your game!

Nice game! :) I managed to break it - sorry. :) If you swim off the screen, nobody can eat you. So you can just hide and go AFK and the score keeps on getting up. Maybe you should add a barrier on the left and right. ;) Try adding some gameplay screenshots in your description - it would attract more people to try your game. ;) Simple but nice art and some animations. :)Risk of the Depth.jpg

@matejag Hahaha, that's amazing. Yeah we were supposed to add some barriers on the sides in the beginning but I guess we forgot about it. Oh well, what are game jams without it's bugs :)

I really liked the color palette you chose. It definitely pushed the visuals out of the "game jam art" realm and into the "stylistic art" realm.

I also found the little cheat to sneak off the edge of the screen. I made it to ~700 without it, but it got tough with the enemies being nearly invisible.

Good work!
