You really click-baited me with the catgirl... Nice job on the theme, also thank you for making it so you can dive faster when you have a longer rope. It'd be painful otherwise.
Just wish there was more to flesh out the idea, as it stands it's kinda boring because the game doesn't get a chance to get harder.
Cute small entry! Simple but fun. I like that you didn't artifically lengthened the game time. Maybe player movement could be a bit faster for me. Also liked the color scheme and music you went with, created some nice atmosphere. And the shark sprite was very cool!
Cute little game. Nice art and a cohesive look and presentation. Intuitive gameplay. Repetitive mashing of the keys gets tiring very quickly so for this mechanic it's just about the right game length! Could have really used sound effects though!
Nice minigame, the core mechancis remind me of dredge / dave the diver.
Nice artwork. I'd love to the difficulty ramping up
Very nice entry! Clean, cute, and that "async" gameplay where you have to pump air and move at the same time is quite smart and works very well with the diving suit theme! Great job :smile: :shark:
Beautiful graphics and atmosphere. But I didn’t understand how to increase oxygen :( Still, great concept. Good luck!
Short but sweet, feel like the idea of showing the buttons for pumping water on screen was a great touch since I was totally forgetting that. Came for fishing, stayed to proposing to a boat-owning cat girl with a ring salvaged from the depths of the sea after dodging sharks. Love in the depths!
Oh and for me the highlight was the physics of the tube for the suit. Very well implemented and satisfying.
Short, but nice. Those rope / tube physics though.
Good idea to have to pump air to keep playing , feel like a bit like a rythm game.
I loved this! Honestly such a breath of fresh air to play something cute and fun and simple and working perfectly, with easy to understand instructions. If it had any randomness I'd have probably played it again just for the vibes! Loooove your game! So cute!
Oh wow, the graphics are splendid! I also like how it gets darker after depth 30, I kinda wanted 1 or 2 more fishes to explore further.
(I'll admit, I didn't expect sharks to be pinball bumpers :D)
Short but sweet little game! I really enjoyed the graphics and music, and the game play was fun too. I think the game would be more fun for me if there was more of a consequence for touching sharks, but I can see the benefits of the more casual approach you took as well.
nice game! <333
Nice game, a bit short, but I guess a good part of the work went to the visual assets that really look good!
Nice game with cat girl clickbait on avatar. Art, music is very organic. I think, for this game should be good implement push-your-luck mechanic (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamemechanic/2661/push-your-luck). For example, "Celestia" board game get you choose in the same situation: stay and get little award, or risky, and get big. In this game you can make the same feature, like, dive deeper with chance to get out of oxygen, or return and award small fish.
I will remember the tapping idea. Really calls for a rhythm restriction.
Cute and simple little game! The pumping mechanic was fun, although a bit of smashy. Maybe it could require a bit of rhythm for the taps to make it a bit more engaging?
Enjoyed the casual experience and the music complemented the mood very well!
Great work, loved it! <3
A nice little game, the mechanics of pumping air, but because of the animation I thought that you have to press the buttons in rhythm, not as fast as possible
I love this, it's a shame it's so short! Hope you can expand on it in the future! The air pumping mechanic is fun, the art is pretty and it's a good idea on the theme.
Nice and relaxing little game. I really like the graphics and the atmosphere. For a future version, I think adding other features could be a plus (more fish?). Small bug: when I go over the sharks, I feel like they don't affect me at all :( But I realy like the global experience and the mood
Great gameplay and cool graphics
Very nicely made game, good controls. I missed some danger signals from sharks, can they harm the character at all? Nevertheless, good game, good luck to you!
Super relaxing lil entry! I really liked the idea of pumping the oxigen while swimming down the water, make it for a very interesting experience! I liked how we can swim faster as the distance gets longer, creates some kind a flow that made the experience really relaxing to me. The art is quite charming and the overall gamefeel is nice! Great work! :) Thank you for the game.
this game is so good!!!!!I love this game mood and ghaphics so much!!! this only shortcoming is so short,ends in just 5 mins , wish for more content to play~~~
Super quaint little entry! I really enjoyed this. The art is great, the mechanics are easy to understand, and the interpretation of the theme is smart and well done. If I had to provide one critique, I'd say that the K-L air-pumping mechanic feels kind of like unnecessary busywork? After a while, I realized I didn't have to stop diving to pump air, so I just kept spamming the buttons for the rest of the game. Having some sort of trade-off requirement to pump air I think would be a nice touch, since it could provide a mechanic that may not just end up with me mashing my hand against the keyboard for 2 minutes straight, hahaha! Besides that though, I really did have a fun time playing, and I think you've done a fantastic job for a jam! Congrats!
The idea that catgirl the captain is pumping air up the while you go for fishing is actually hilarious to me. The artstyle is amazing and great job on the rope physics. Quick to play, but the little situation there on that lake definitely brought a smile on my face! This was like a little snack of joy :)
