Dive down to 150m!

you are Hibu Bubble, a diver trying to get to an treasure down at the bottom of a trench, 150m deep.

But you have too watch out, because there are dangerous animals, and pay attention, that you don't run out of air!

You can refill your air with bubbles, which also slow down your fall. You can also use some of your air to create a bubble right below you, either to slow down your fall or to get rid of obstacles

Things I liked:
- great art
- great sound and music
- I liked that the play clips behind the walls just a bit to provide a good sense of depth to the scene
- I really like being able to strategically spend oxygen to form a defense bubble
- I like the light gradient as you go deeper
- change in mobs as you go deeper

Improvements:
- I can't think of anything, this feels really complete and polished. Great job.


Bugs:
- didn't find any

This is such a great entry. Extremely cute an fun. I like that the background changes over time and the rate of the enemies spawning is fair. Very polishe, I could see this as a fun mobile game. Excellent job. Well Done.

Great visuals, great art, sounds nice, feels good, fun to play, and so cute! I like how it gets darker as you go deeper. Also feels relaxing. Would be nice to play on my phone. I like underwater games.

Cute Game!! Graphics style is really fun, and the game is easy to understand.

The only feedback I has was that the air bubbles seem to slow you down when you hit them, I wish that wasn't the case for the air bubbles

Very cute game with a very good mood. The art is so cute, I enjoyed playing it.

The light transition works well. I think it's a bit too long to get new kind of enemies. Maybe add a controls to speed up the down.
@cary-stanley, agree, the air bubbles slow the character, it's a bit annoying.

Nice job !

Simple and fun! I enjoyed the art style and enemy designs. I did feel like I got pretty lucky to win... a little more control in any form might be nice.

I really enjoyed playing this game! I liked the animations when you bubbled the monsters the most. Also, fun music! :)

This is one of my favorites this year. Simple, yet very beautiful and a bit challenging :) <3

Very nice game! I liked the music and sound effects. The music fitted with the style of the game. The graphics were cute and well-drawn as well. And the gameplay was certainly balanced, not too hard or too easy. Also, the background was well-done, with bubbles and creatures far away.

To improve, one thing I would say is to try to have the pixels in each texture roughly the same size. The background bubbles and the text was much lower resolution than everything else. But that's just a tiny nitpick :smile:. Overall a very good game!

This was great! The art is so cool, I really like the style. And the sound and music fits very well with it to create a great atmosphere. I got to 133m before I realized I can actually use space to slow myself down or to deflect some of the dangers... yeah, RTFM :smile:. I did get to 150 eventually I believe as I got the you won message but died at the same time. I will count it as a victory :wink:

Keep up the good work, looking forward to see more from you!

Although there's a way to slow down, I'd have also liked some way to speed up - those black spiky things are quite a lot harder to dodge once you've been slowed down by one of them. (But maybe that'd make them too easy...)

But yeah, I especially like how well the music and art style work together to set the mood. Good game!

SO SO CUTE! Really love the graphics and effects overall. The game seems simple, but it still has so much depth (hah)! Sounds are also good and I really like how the music changes as you go deeper, it's a nice touch that really adds to the mood. The game looks and feels polished and is fun to play, great job!

Could make a really awesome mobile game/campaign.

Really cute! the music fits the game super well. One thing I noticed was that the text seems to be cut off for me (the game over screen reads "You lo Press Sp").

That was so pleasant! I loved my whole time playing. One thing I noticed was that after using a bubble blast, picking up another bubble for more air bounces you, where it normally wouldn't bounce you.

Fantastic art, it was so adorable. Well done!

This is so nicely done, the cute art is great and works so well in setting up the game. Did have an issue with the text only half appearing though so that was a bit weird. Liked that as you progressed down you needed to use the air to slow yourself down and take out obstacles. Also having the background get darker the deeper you get was a nice touch. Felt like a nicely polished simple entry so great job.
