The art is amazing, the sea creatures adorable. My only thing is that you can only skipping fight the enemies by using the dash. It is pretty powerful and you can just run past everything. Then in the boss room you can stand in the bottom right corner and keep shooting safely, because the boss doesn't touch you if you stand right in the corner and the enemies that spawn in are too far away to notice you.

Beautiful graphics, I like how there is a clear distinction between objects and terrain. The music was very soothing. I think the game could have been just an exploration in the deeps, without any fighting. The control scheme feels weird. It's hard trying to shoot enemies while keeping your distance. Dodging enemy bullets was very hard, I guess I was meant to use dodge on them. Some checkpoints between "the branches" would have been appreciated.

Great job, solid entry!
