I thought I wouldn't be able to participate this time because I had a lot of work to do this week-end. But the theme was really nice so I took some time on my Sunday to work on a LD entry.
It's an exploration game where you talk to various NPC and dive in the sea to help them. I'm happy with the result in relation to the much shorter time than usual I spent on it. I had fun writing the NPC. I had very few bugs to deal with. And I was able to implement all the story I had in mind.
My only regret is not to have been able to work on the sound part because it would have added a lot to the game. But it was to be expected! I'll probably make an extended version with some work on moody sound effects and a background music, a title menu, a restart option, sound control, a preloader and more graphics.
I hope you'll enjoy the game!
HINT: there are several oxygen pockets under the sea. Find them and use them!
HINT/SPOILER:
Can't find the keys?
Go to the right shore (where the character with the hat and the kids are). Enter the water from there. Go down. When you've passed the first tunnel that goes to the right, follow the wall at your right until you see an oxygen pocket. Go get the oxygen. You'll see the keys.
