The game is really fun to play, and the harpoon physics are very cool. Really liked to zoom around the place with 80+ speed after I ended the game. An option to lower the audio would be nice.

This game was so fun! I actually yelled trying to get away from some of the enemies, worried that they were going to Steve Irwin me. RIP my little diver

Thanks for contributing to the jam!

So I died to a shark. Which is maybe karma for all the people dying to sharks in my game hah. I really liked your wildlife art, looked really good.

I did see a stringray swimming backwards, so you might have some sprite flipping to check out.

The speargun / harpoon mechanic was the star of the show for me. Felt very satisfying to shoot, good animation on impact. The diver him/herself kind of fell flat especially with no animation and facing the screen.

Some thoughts: Would be interesting to be able to use the spear to pull yourself down as well, so shoot a wall. Maybe make it take a moment to unattach so youd want to use it only when you were safe.

One other thought would be to try and add some more life or variety to the level design.

All in all a fun entry, nice work!

Seems pretty chill! I like how the music got more ominous the deeper you went.

Very nice game! I liked the mood it created and the ability to buy upgrades. good job!

Phew, I did it! The game is great. It can benefit from more complex graphics and animation, but the core mechanics are interesting and fun to play. Well done!

Brilliant, I have absolutely no idea how you achieved that harpoon cable ... very cool :)

I really enjoyed this! The mood was amazing with the combination of good music and the graphics. I was also really impressed with the harpoon, that was really nice. The only con I can really point out is that the diver could've had an animation for swimming, but that's it. Good job!

Yeaaaaahh I finally find my phone!! I really liked the harpoon mechanics and the upgrade system, and it really makes me want to explore. The music was also great, getting more tense according to the depth. Good work! Great game! I invite you to play our game too! :)
