The game is good by itself, but it becomes super fun when you realize that you can wiggle yourself into colliders and gain extra speed from physics depenetration. Like, unironically, it creates a whole new skill-based mechanic that's actually fun to interact with. I honestly love it. Also, I just love the chill aesthetics a lot.
Really good game mechanic, love that UI icon of shrinking brain as you get more and more deprived of air. I just wish main movement speed was faster.
That's a really neat core mechanic, you can 100% take it deeper (pun intended) and develope a whole puzzle game around it.
A really well-made game, great job! I absolutely love the jet-propelled jump physics.
Maybe I just have a soft spot for interactive cockpits, but this game is amazing! In-game tutorialization is great, and looping scrolling is a nice touch.
@tengusheath thank you! Yeah, there's definitely room to improve controls, maybe we'll find some time to polish it later.
@tosmaster thank you! Yeah, all assets were made during LD, and I had almost zero experience with 3d animation before, so it was sort of a self-imposed challenge.
@jitspoe yeah, you can, in fact, properly catch fish, but we ran out of time before adding any UI indication on how close you are to tiring the fish out. The fact that you can get unlucky and run into multiple strong fish in a row don't help either. But in theory, you need to start from sailfish in shallow waters and go deeper as your oxygen capacity increases.
My best score so far is 93. Took me quite some time to realize you can double-jump haha Otherwise, solid small game, great job!
Hey, that's a sweet little experience with a solid ending. The mood is great! But gameplay could use some streamlining. I think the hookshot is underutilized (to be honest I don't have idea what is it used for, even after completing the game), and I can see you've put effort into making it so it's a little bit sad.
