Snappy Word: Jellyfish Horizon by deox
Dive as deep as you can in this single-button-controlled nightmare! On your way to the ocean's unexplored depths you might find helpful items such as air bubbles, scuba tanks, and even swimfins. But beware of the jellyfish who might not be keen on letting you float freely into their domain.
Controls: * Space to dive * Enter to restart
Power-ups: * Bubbles will restore your air supply * Scuba tanks will let you breathe for longer * Swimfins will let you hold space to dive continuously, and also double as armor in that they can take hits for you (but will be consumed in the process). They are also stackable! Try it!

- ambient music
- frustratingly difficult at times but fair (the right mix)
- fun physics mechanic to try and master; almost an upside down flappy bird at times
Improvements:
- It took me a few refreshes to restart each game until I found the enter key restarts the game. "Press Enter to Try again" would be good to add to the death text
- Some diving/water sounds would be a nice addition
- It feels like the cost of skipping a pick-up almost always results in death; perhaps increase the pick-up frequency by about 20% so that skipping a few doesn't guarantee a short run
- a scoreboard of history of dive times and depths would be nice
Bugs:
- didn't see any
I would like more air bubbles at the start of the game though so that I could get farther without multiple tries.
Overall good job getting this made. :)
