The gameplay is simple and the difficulty easy, but nevertheless it makes fun playing it.
If you die with the rescued penguin, the game didn´t reset that (That´s why @kitsomo didn´t find him on the second try I guess): I can go in the next try directly to the left and save the day, because I still have the penguin ;-)
If this is your first game ever made, you can be very proud!
I wish the game was little easier... but having something a little more challenging to play once in a while has never hurt anyone :slight_smile:
the controls could definitely be tighter, and maybe higher contrast - it's really hard to tell what's going on and where i'll be colliding into stuff. but it's a really neat concept!
It's got quite an eerie atmosphere due to exploring the darkness deep underwater when one hit can kill you, especially when the seaweed obscures your vision. Some unnerving music and water sound effects would really complement this atmosphere!
I did find it a little tricky to judge when I was going to collide with something, due to the 2.5d perspective. Maybe it could be possible to make it more obvious when something is definitely on the same plane as your character, or an easier way to judge how close you are to colliding with it.
Great work on getting all of the environment and enemies done and working on time! I love the use of lighting and shadows too, it helps add to the eerie mood.
