I believe there's a size issue when starting the game. I couldn't get past the instructions (the keys were acting on the game but i never saw a thing).

@jose-pedro-dias you can check the game on itch.io: https://humble-forge.itch.io/ludum-dare-57
It was a bit hard at the beginning it but I enjoyed it once I got into the controls. Nice game!
The canvas isn't filling the entire screen. Like a HiDPI issue, but in the browser. Super weird. I did try it there, without and with fullscreen, on both Chrome and Firefox on Mac Os X.
@jose-pedro-dias you should have a small full screen button at the bottom right
Or you can download the exe version on itch.io
for some reason, the screen resolution is broken, but I saw that the game is cool
@tokto you should have a button at the bottom right to play the game in fullscreen
@doomky I pressed fulscreen, but still the same
Wow, nice game, the best I've tried so far :D It gave me extreme "Dave the Diver" vibe
@tokto damn... IDK why it doesn't work for some people.... if you really want to test it there is an exe on itch.io
@doomky
Yes, I've already played, it turned out very cool and dynamic)
incredible graphics that really draw you into the game world! also i really like gameplay, its so interesting to keep playing!

When I got into the flow of it, things felt really smooth and fun! If I could stay in the zone, I was able to zip around quickly, maintaining my momentum, and it felt really great. That said, I'm not sure if this was a "me" problem, but I had a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the vertical controls - I would try to swim down, and instead get stuck in place going slightly up. Similarly, I'd try to shoot my gun down to give me a quick burst of momentum upwards, and would end up gaining far less speed than I did when shooting left/right. These discrepancies in how my momentum controlled made it a lot harder for me to get into that flow state where I was able to smoothly zip around, because my intuition about how I would move was incorrect and I had to give conscious thought to what I wanted to do when rising/falling, and if I just went on instinct, I'd get stuck in a corner. Again, this might just be a me problem - Maybe the controls match other folks' intuition and maybe I'd get used to them with more practice :)
Overall, great job! I was able to form an opinion about the minutia of the movement controls, because the rest of the game felt so smooth and fun!
I also loved the little homage to the Sonic drowning jingle that you threw in when your oxygen is low :)
Cool game to get stuck in
the game is cool! but my character fall out of the screen~
This was actually so fun... holy crap! We also made a game with fishing/oxygen mechanics, so it's awesome to see different approaches - the movement was really nice and pretty unique!
Okay. That's a fun little game! I enjoyed the visuals and felt the pressure as I went deeper... the drowning alert sound effect definitely created urgency! A little tricky to maneuver, but not too bad. My high score was 4780...
In any event, fun game... Great work!
Shoot. Fall of the screen. I entertained FIVE STARS!
Really love how the swimming all comes together in this, just like the mechanical side of it and the animation as well! All the collecting and shooting stuff meshes together nicely too!
Surprisingly challenging game with simple to understand mechanics, I found myself hectically trying to collect fish, dodge monsters and move towards the next oxygen tank all at the same time which created a nice sense of immersion. The graphics are pretty cool. Nice work! (best score around 30'000)
I tried playing it but the main menu screen doesn't come off, so I got stuck on the menu while still being able to shoot and move? I couldn't see a thing and then died.
Really cool visuals and interesting gameplay. Getting hang of the controls too a bit but the core gameplay was fun and fast paced. Great job!
the alternantivve movment was fun to explore nd i liked how fasst paced the shoot and breath gameplayy was,, the cardinal direction actions using th arrow keys were frusttrating to rely on a bit
