Nice to play, like the art and music! Don't expect level changing at all)

fun to play. the max speed could be smaller imo, just feel so fast after acceleration.

The art is amazing! Gameplay wise is a simple idea but neatly executed, one small thing is that the camera may need just a little bit more of distance, because certain obstacles (talking about you, dinosaur in the third level) are very difficult to avoid, overall great game!

Pretty cool game, but dammit, dino land is hard as heck

Haha, I just had to comment that my game (Deep Dive - click my name if interested) has almost the exact same structure (dive down to the centre of the earth and avoid obstacles).

Pretty fun setup, I like the commentary. It gets extremely hard from the second level onwards, I gave up after 40 deaths on the dinosaur level (I don't know how to not lose 2 health from the pterodactyl). Great art style.

I finally reached the end! My reflexes weren't good enough that I had to start to memorize the layouts. The Jurassic level seemed the hardest.

Loved it. The music is a good fit.

I reached the end after about 4 deaths! Man, I hated those dinosaurs.

First of all., the screenshots don’t do the game justice!! PLEASE update the game page with media from actual game. It’s GOOD. Love how the art just keeps getting better and better, along with those floaty acceleration (which does need some getting used to), this makes for a fun experience.

Music is also on point, not too much, not too little, thought it could use a bit more flavour in each level.

Ultimately, reached the jungle on first try and then just gave up after dying to the flying dino multiple times. Makes me want to try again to see how the next level would look! A little adjustment to the difficulty curve related with second level as base would be great. Kudos!

Simple but interesting! And the art style is really good! Good job!

Really nice game, also interesting take on the theme. To dive through different areas after the pool, I like that. It also looks really great.

Phenomenal game. Sure its difficult but one can see that its meant to be. Everything from level design, to sound and arts to gameplay is a perfect expirience making me feel like im in one of those 2010 flash games again. Its so replayable too, I could be here for thirty minutes and still wouldnt notice!

Pretty cool! Like the original idea of going beyond the pool, and the commentary. Graphics were really good. A pretty nice entry. GG !

Very nice graphics, very nice idea. Loved the writing for the commentator - surprisingly funny though I did lose hearts trying to read it. Dinosaur level was impossible. Might try again later because I'd like to see what other levels there are because the surprise of each level and the funny commentary made me keep playing through the frustration.
