what can I say, im a toilet diver now, fecal matter here I come!!!!
Addictive, I even finished it completely. Nice visuals and funny narrative, a great combination
I almost made it! Managed to collect the ring but unfortunately drowned in the toilet :disappointed: Really good entry, the graphics were good and the controls were responsive, when I died I didn't think it was unfair or anything. Great job!
@chrisbeck thanks for the rating, yeah i think sending the player back to the start after dying was a bad idea, i'll keep that in mind next time.
Классная идея, очень интересно.
It's a nice game, good controls, although in some places it's impossible to swim without damage.
Nice game, the theming is so funny! i like that camera effect (kindof fisheye if you see what i mean). I did drown in the toilet but i enjoyed the game!
Here's my positives:
- You've made swimming feel better than some modern platformers - The 3D makes this game pop out - I love the built in tutorial into the world - I love the arrows that prevent you from trying to go back up when grabbing the ring - I love that all the enemies rhythmically expand at the same time - I like that instead of having an HP bar each mistake just makes the timer decrease faster - I also like that this damage is repaired at every refill station
Here's my concerns/questions: - Did the toilet diver shrink or do they just have a gigantic toilet? - Am I entering one toilet and exiting another? What is this plumbing situation all about? - Do the toilet diver and his significant other eat spiky balls for dinner?
I actually enjoyed this a lot! Really funny, everything just works. Had a good time. Keep making stuff!
Solid platformer. Colliders was good, movement is responsable. Funny theme, like games like this. For me, there are lack of new mechanics in the middle of the game, like new ability or new type of collider. It will be cool, if, for example, ring will be like flashlight, and all around is dark, and you got cone of visiblility from the ring. Or something more trash, which can contains toilet, like sharks or ktulhu. And it is little frustrating, that game hasn't checkpoints, and I returned to start after oxygen out. Actually, I like this game and I have fun playing it, congratz with good game.
@braktheman, thanks for the feedback, I'll try to answer your questions: 1. Yes, he really did shrink (because he really wanted to get the ring) 2. In fact, the game map is designed so that the diver makes a circle and returns back, but through a different pipe. (although the plumbing really suffers) 3. Yes
@mr-mesmer, thanks for the constructive criticism, in fact, the game initially should have had more content (flashlight, checkpoints, another type of enemy), but I just didn't have time to implement everything. Next time I'll try to take these mistakes into account.
@makache, Don't worry, I have fun with this game and it is the most important thing for me. Rate it 5/5
This was a lot of fun, but it did get a bit tedious after a while. I enjoyed myself, though. I am concerned for this family and what they're depositing in the toilet. Those spiky things must hurt coming out!
It's a good game with nice controls, but I think it's a bit long-winded.
I feel a kinship between our submissions.
This plays nicely and is packaged well. I think the challenge could ramp up a little faster. I was able to hold down dash the entire time with no real detriment, might be interesting to add a mechanic to prevent this.
Nice work!

Nice little game. I enjoyed swimming through a toilet longer than I expected.
A third type of hazard would have made it more interesting, but this is great for a solo project.
Really love the curved-space effect and the bloom effect on the rings! But honestly, the pipes feel a bit too deep. Nice job!
This game is hilarious. Nice graphics, smooth controls, funny idea! Well done!
Oof I drowned in the last stretch, like the graphics, everything feels nice, enough going on without being crushingly difficult, giving me Crash Bandicoot underwater level vibes, really good work!
@scott-r-howell Interesting that you found a resemblance to the underwater levels from Crash Bandicoot. I didn’t use that game as a reference.
Fun game! The family should really stop flashing sea urchin and puffer into the toilet in case drop the ring again.
Accidentally post another comment please just flush it into the toilet:D
This is a game about small guys (170cm/67 inches tall) diving into a tube to collect something. The usual thing
I enjoyed the smoothness, animations, visuals and controls. The length of the level/areas was a bit much. I do love that the depths theme was used for a toilet. XD Well done. Hopefully my wife doesn't flush her ring down the toilet and I have to go miniature to find it. :)
In terms of sound, it would have been cool to give variation to the pitch of the swim sound to mitigate its repetitive feeling. The other sounds were good though.
Pretty good and funny entry, looks polished (except for the air supply UI maybe that could have been a bit better). I like the controls, camera effects, backstory and character animation :) Congrats!
Good game, maybe the hazards could be a little more toilet themed, I got the ring but drowned on the way back :( Love your take on the theme though
Loved that entry... Kind of reminded me of a quote from the hobbit "There and back again" XD Simple concept but works wonderfully. GG !
