I like the rumbling when the diver is near and the boss fight at the end, music's also banging.

Does the "fighting back" feature actually work? Nothing happened when I left click. Would be cool if it would release the ink cloud, disorienting the diver.

Hey @baturinsky first off great idea's! Maybe Ill implement them someday, for the feature "fighting back" you need to be in the boss fight. To get to the bossfight reach the bottom of the ocean. And thank you for playing of course!

It's weird but fun! :D

I managed to get out of the map :р

I didn't pass the boss :(

Welcome to gamedev, buddy!

I didn't fight back, I just ran away but the diver clipped through the wall.

Decent game. It was really easy to escape from the diver -- until it caught up to me out of nowhere and I had just hit the ground so I could not get away. It would be nice if there was a stat telling you how far away the diver was and it lit up or something to let you know the diver was getting close. Still liked the idea and figuring out how to avoid hitting the ground so I would not lose my speed.

Really hard bossfight! I feel like the camera could be more zoomed out so the player can react in time to upcoming obstacles, but other than that it's pretty solid.

Nice little platfomer! I liked the music, and the squid was cute. I found the game extremely hard though - it took me about 10 tries to get down to the boss fight, and then two of my boss fights I just died instantly. I managed to chip a bit of health away on the other 2, but I found it too hard to beat - especially when only having one hitpoint.

It was good fun learning the level on the way down - but a little frustrating that hitting a wall would take away all of your speed.

Also the controls are a lot more than left click! WASD + space to go up wasn't mentioned anywhere, so the first time I had no idea what was going on.

Nice entry though, hope you enjoyed the jam!
