Would have loved some more assets when going down (maybe fish, corals & seaweed) because the process of going down started to get boring due to the slider event being the same, making the speed of the dot and the location of the sweetpot random would have been more engaging.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":650305,"author_name":"windfall890","author_uid":"windfall890","epoch":1619549162,"text":"Simple and executed well.

I also felt that underwater vibe you've went after! \nAs for improvements, I'd make the game a bit more dynamic with less delay time between clicks. And maybe a touch of idle animations here and there.\nOther than that - well done! \nI'd apreciate if you could also check out our puzzle game \"Deep Sweep\".
