A bit repetitive, and it's soooooo long to going up with full pockets ; I would have like another upgrade in the shop to be able to carry more !
The oxygen bar should also replenish immediately at the surface imo.
Great music tho, and graphics were up to par
Good work!
I agree with other that if there were items in the shop that allowed you to increase pocket size as well as maybe reduce the amount of speed impediment caused by full pockets as the game progresses would be really beneficial!
I wish the number of collected diamonds was displayed, at first I wasn't sure if I had collected them or if I had done something wrong. I think the impulsion when you're hit by an "enemy" is a bit too much as well, I ended up dying because I was propelled to an urchin nearby and I had no way to avoid it.
It is a little bit slow and a power up to carry more stuff would help to make the game more funny - so it felt a little bit tedious.
PS: I would really like to see multiplayer where you could compete against your friends. I think this would really fit the game. Just an idea, though.
Nice ambient perfect to play with a coffee cup.
