Given the theme, what i did first was listen to the song "Beneath The Surface" by Dream Theater. And that spawned the idea of a game, where as the player you need to find hope, and that hope might not necessarily be above the surface and immediately visible.
There is a current bug where if you hold the mouse down to dash back and forth, and combine it with a jump, you will go above the screen (whether under the surface or not) and get stuck. It's something I wasn't able to spend time on to fix, and i thought it was kinda funny. I hope to advance the level design in the future to combine usage of dash jumping.
