I liked the feel of the game but it became a little repetitive.

I love how all the visuals (The lighting especially), the audio, and the text work together to make such a great atmosphere! The gameplay is repetitive but not too long to make it too tedious.

Add controls to the description, so as not to miss anything, in general, very funny animations. Pushed the fish to the surface xd

An under water platformer was a cool idea, nice job =)

Nice work! I think it'd help if you introduced a few more mechanics in the game but mostly a nice gloomy atmosphere.

Good job on the graphics and simple game design. It is a bit low on replay-ability. Since there is only one enemy type you can rush past them without attacking and finish the game in about 2 minutes. I hear a little bit of sound at the start, I don't think there is in-game music? It definitely gives ominous, gloomy vibes though.

Too bad that there was no sound. The text wasn't readable anymnore once the fish came in. If you had a voice-over to read those text it would be better. Love the art-style and lighting.

This was a spooky experience, I liked it! The text becomes hard to read when blue so had to wait for it to turn white. Graphics are nice, some music might have added to the mood. Overall, pretty good entry!

This was an experience! I like the writing however the game part felt a bit lacking. Maybe if there were a few more types of enemies to fight? It would feel more rewarding to have to beat down a bunch of enemies first before reading the text. Or if you had to swim around and find the way down like a puzzle?

Also I'm not sure if there is sound in the game? There wasn't any in the web version.

I like the visuals! The game looks dark and omnious.

Regardless this was a solid entry! It's definitely unique and had an eerie feeling to it. Great work!

Hi there,

I liked your idea. It was nice to use it as the main game's concept. Apart from the first couple of seconds, there is no sound for the rest of the game. The graphics were quite good. A nice try.
