Your submarine has crashed and you're stranded underwater! Oh no! You'll have to swim through caves, avoiding traps and shooting evil marine life with your speargun in order to escape. You'll also need air to survive, collect air bubbles from destroyed enemies or from little air pockets scattered along the ground.

Arrow Keys: Move

A: Swim

S: Shoot Speargun

Enter: Pause

What a great little platformer with a great balance of challenge and fun. I could easily see this being expanded upon and would play it. One of my first games that I fell in love with was an action puzzle platformer, so this feels great. Only thing I'd like it if the exit was more obvious and maybe there was a sound effect that went along with it. perhaps breaking it up into more levels so the difficulties scale better, but again as a lover of this type of game and it being a jam game, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

what engine

Multimedia Fusion 2, haven't seen that in a while. Good times...

It's not free, if you are curious.
Construct 3 engine is quite similar though.

Finished the game and I will say this is amazing work! I would love to learn how to draw pixel art like that. Game play was spot on, not too difficult and not too easy. I think I only died once during the maze puzzle on the last level because I was too stubborn to go back for air. Thanks for making this awesome game!

First off, that artstyle is absolutely fantastic. I love the way every enemy has a face. The music too is fantastic and fits so well. I love the presentation of this game.

Gameplay wise I wasn’t too big a fan of the level design, there were a few random sections which felt way harder than the base difficulty (sudden spikes when switching rooms, those bullet ball stairs or those swimming sections with a height of 2 blocks).

But what I reeally loved where the enemies and obstacle designs. They feel really varied. Especially the crystal spikes and floor.

Really makes me wanna work on more Jump n’ Run things. Will probably try take some inspiration from the spritework and enemies.

The graphics are AMAZING! The atmosphere is absolutely spectacular - well done! That said, I find the controls a little unintuitive (I spent 10 minutes just figuring out that you have to press A to select in the menu). The shooting mechanics could also be revisited differently. Also, the O2 time seems too limited (or boubles sources are too rare). Don't get me wrong, the game is certainly fun - I simply think it would be even better with these tweaks. Thanks for sharing your work :)

amazing work and style. i gave it a try till second level and i had a blast i will finish after my lessons. Great work brother

I haven't had time to play with it yet, but it looks really cool. I'll try it tonight and let you know. High hopes

Beautiful pixel art, as always.
The controls are a bit too responsive (especially the swim button), meaning that it doesn't really feel like you're underwater, and it's hard to make precise movements.
On the other hand, there are far too many opportunities to replenish your air, so you can pretty much ignore the hazards, and you'll still be fine (perhaps air and health should be two separate resources?).
Obviously this was made for a game jam, but with more time spent adding content and polishing the gameplay, it could be a really fun little game.

had a lot of fun and the crsytal ascent music is fantastic! the music in ur game in general is pretty good and gameplay is also a lot of fun! nice job :)

I don't have any gameplay complaints, but select and swim should definitely be different inputs. all i want to do is be able to use up arrow to jump without screwing up the menu

💞❤️😍🎈🎊🥰😍🤩😘

retro game , nice

What engine was this made with?

Clickteam Fusion 2.5

This is a very good game

Nice one! I like design and conceprion!

Hey there. I'm creating a site (conflexgames.com) which is dedicated to PC games that broadly work well with controller profiler software, such as JoyToKey. This game meets that criteria. Would you be okay with me including a link to this page?

I love this game. Nice work. :)

Awesome game. Simple, yet made extremely well.

I recently made a speedrun category for it on speedrun.com, so if anyone wants to try their hand, just look it up!

Again, really cool game.

what an absolutely beautiful simple game, loved the art style and details in every level, level design used every asset in the best way possible if i can say that, was expecting a boss at the end but no problem, very good game<3

Hello! We played your game on stream and really loved it!

Amazing Game! I love the art the gameplay and the audio! It's givingme gameboy vibes and Im here for it

hm, cant get further than the main menu. I can press all buttons on my keyboard and none do anything :-(

'A' should work.

cute! nice short experience, quick respawns. I would like to see some kind of boss for areas, also you should consider adding a speedrun timer. all in all good job, keep it up!!

Jogo excelente. Curto, mas muito divertido. Obrigado por deixar disponivel 

Hi, I finished playing this game, it is very cute, there are some mechanics I like, such as oxygen bar, third level mirror reflex The protagonist's head is a little big, and some narrow places seem to be unable to avoid jumping up

Thank you it's lovely and enjoyable!
