I love the fact the more you explore, the more you lack oxygen with the audio !

The graphics are good, but the gameplay is a bit slow, and it's too easy to fall out of the level.

Why is this not being talked more? Diagetic measurement of air along with the sound that showcases the oxygen, full 3D game with cool graphics underwater made for a jam? I found it a bit hard to actually trigger the rope in my return and I feel the store could start out a bit lower on values because it takes a bit of a grind to start growing, but I honestly like what I see here the game is interesting and has plenty of great ideas.

Loved the animation and movement of the game. The modeling of the character and the level were well done with the under water mood. The audio was a cool touch with running low - maybe a bit loud. Good job though!

Great implementation of oxygen, good animation, but the gameplay is a bit slow. In any case, the work is done very well. Thank you

great character animation, sound and atmosphere. The menu was confusing though

This is an awesome game, the mood is done so well with the audio being mostly just breathing and some ethereal background. I really like the murky water too, with the lights on the character lighting up the environment as you explore. It felt like it was a little grindy to make process, maybe the shop could have started cheaper or the equipment could have started a little stronger? I just wanted to explore further!
