Very pretty! It took me a while to figure out that you were supposed to *not* hit the air bubbles. The game is displayed very tall on the itch.io page, making it hard to see everything on a standard 16 by 9 monitor.

Nice chill little game.

what a lovely game! I love the audio programming and sound design when you pop a bubble. Also the movement of the ring through the water and the slight movement when you hit a bubble was very satisfying. Once I fullscreened the long WebGL page wasn't an issue anymore. So glad I clicked this one!

@dps2004 Thank you so much for playing :)
Yeah, screensize is something I noticed after the submission. It should be better after zooming out or hitting full screen button!

It's pretty overall, but the long page does make it confusing. Per DPS above, I ended up having to zoom out to figure out how to play.

@thisismatt Thank you very much for clicking :)
Yes, Cam who did the music is amazing. We originally had a bit different game mechanics but after hearing what he composed, I was like "I'm changing the mechanics to suite the music". Glad you enjoyed it!

@devmerlin Took note, thanks for your feedback! Yes, the proper screensize is something I have to work on. In the meantime, yes, zooming out or maybe fullscreen make it a bit easier.

At first I thought it was like an endless game and I had to stay afloat the longest time possible, but since there was no timer or something like that I figured out I had to make it down, and honestly it was a nice chill game. Great choice for a theme honestly.

The resolution is unfortunately not good for computer screens. Like many others I also thought at first it was abuot staying afloat. I do like the melancholic mood of it though.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I think the theme interpretation is one of the most interesting part of game james. I really liked how you took it, too!

@malub Thank you for the honest feedback. Yes, we are aware and that's something we learned from this game jam. I'm very happy that you like the mood of the game, though! Really appreciate it.

Short emotional performance! Nice entry. Agree with @xpoho, wanted to rate Mood first.

@xpoho Thank you very much for playing! I mean, how do I have Mood available for rating? lol Yep, I'm a newbie.

nice game, simple concept. Our game had a musical mechanic as well! Though not at all the same type of thing.

I like the the music and atmosphere. The gameplay is okay, but I wish there was a bit more to do. But overall a beautiful little jam game.

It was a cute short game!

Too bad we can't rate mood on the game as it is a big part of it.

It was also kind of complicated to play on a computer screen because of the aspect ratio, I had to zoom out to be able to understand what was happening, I wish we were able to choose the format in the settings or something like that.

Otherwise I think it would be cool to play on phone if you don't want to change the format as the 6:19 really accentuate the deepness of the ocean.

Very pretty game! I loved the music and dynamic audio. It was a little confusing at first though, I will admit. Nice work!

I really liked this game. Cool art and music. Gameplay is easy but cool and it is a fun experience. You really captured the mood of slowly falling into the depths. It is really confusing that there isn't clear that you need to avoid the bubbles.

very melancholic, took me a while to figure out I'm supposed to be avoiding the bubbles- especially when the piano notes were so beautiful!

lovely experience and I'm not even mad if it's not a game, I enjoyed my time, great work on the Audio but I'm mad that you don't have an Audio rate Duuude??? I would give it 5stars
Edit: after reading couple of comments I see that we should avoid the bubbles lol, you can't have the most awesome thing in the game as something to avoid hhhh

The game's best assets - Mood and Audio appear to have been opted out of for judging categories when the game was submitted?! It's really magical how the piano bubbles seem to line up with the chords perfectly. Well done overall, serving us a sad but beautiful little experience =)
