Quiet In The Deep Logo-01.png Put on your diving gear and hop into the water: I hear there's treasure in the deep!

In this action stealth game, manage your health, air, and noise dip and dive your way through the waters on your watch to pick up treasures. Just be careful to not alert the creatures of your presence by kicking too hard: one bite from them is a free trip to Davy Jones's locker.

The game was fun; the mouse clicking was hard to do with one hand, but I like that it kind of simulated kicking with both legs. The main character may be a human, but I am convinced he is a golden retriever in a diving suit.

This was great! You definitely deserve more plays and ratings on this. I think it was a really well put together package! The art was good and I liked the audio that you used too. It was fun to control just with the mouse and really kick fast. I did get stuck on the 3rd level where the patrolling swordfish kept turning back and forth and wouldnt patrol far enough for me to get past them. But overall I was very impressed!

A lot of fun, and i love the fish designs. Since i'm a bit impatient it got frustrating towards the end.

I really liked the art! The fish had a lot of personality. I liked clicking to swim, it felt fun (though at times was hard to control). Eventually I gave up once it started to feel like there was no way to advance without intentionally drawing the fishes' attention.

Overally, a really good job!

I spent about 15 mins playing this game, really solid! There's a few nuances in this game that make it a little harder than it seems (the detection radius seems to be pretty big and hiding doesn't make you invincible against the fish). Some of the levels are also pretty hard later on like the level where the screen gets really dark is moody, but also a little annoying to find all of the chests. I got stuck on the last level trying to swim my way through the tight corridor, but I wasn't aware that the spikes can actually kill you. Sometimes the fish get stuck in a weird spinning loop on occasion.

Besides that, I really like this entry!

Pretty game. Controls are somehow frustrating, but whole idea is nice.

Well done! Controls didn't bother me, I thought it was a nice touch to have to "swim" by pressing the mouse buttons. I think I like jam entries with level design. The art style works very well
