Mariana's Trench by mmisspelling

So this is it! My first Ludum Dare game. So many things I could have done better or have added, but for now I'm burnt out - I've been working on it really intensely and I kind of forgot about the world around me. Well. All music, art and coding made by me. It lasts just a couple of minutes so it won't take you too much time.
You're a researcher sent to the depths of the ocean to classify new species you find across the way. With your ThalassoScanner you can capture the brainwaves of whatever you come across.

Commands are WASD, spacebar for jumping, shift for agreeing, and the mouse (and LMB) for firing and playing in the scanner. Hope you have fun or at least find this somewhat interesting!

@guimoliveira You probably finished it! An ending screen would have been more appropriate. In the windows version the game just closes itself so it makes more sense.
@shnigle-shnagle thank you!! I wanted to make a bigger and more exciting overworld where you could go deeper and deeper so that it would have fit the theme more, but it was too late already.
Thanks everybody for playing B)
The rythme feels very good, alternating between moody exploration, stressful mini game and calm text explanations.
Great simple art too!
Thanks for the game and awesome job doing all of this on your own 💕
