This is a fun little game. The expressions on the monsters (?) you pass are amazing - I liked how their expressions (and the background color) change as you go deeper. The ending was great too. More games should have surprise/twist endings.

Really enjoyed this - it'd be cool if you could animate the diver, perhaps an extension to consider?

Pretty basic, but calm and meditative. Not sure about the waking up part; it could have worked okay as just an infinite "runner"

I like the vibe! It'd be nice if the diver faced the direction you were going tho. The music is really calming. And I liked how the squids(?) were looking worried and looking down as you went to the end, makes you anticipate what's down there. Good job!

I liked that towards the end the characters’ expressions turned into horrified :D

Cool twist in the end! The dude in looked much happier to be woken up by a phone than I would ever be :joy: I'd just want to hang out with the tentacle buddies!

The mood is very cool, i like the funny graphics you did, the twist at the end is nice but the alarm clock at the end is so loud xD

Very relaxing game! Only thing I'd change is to zoom out the camera a bit, and maybe let the camera lag behind the player a tad. Otherwise, great job!

The circle creatures are so cute and funny; I love their expressions! The music and sounds are very nice too, calm and soothing. I would enjoy continuing the gameplay a little longer...but that's how the end of a good dream feels, right?
