Like a better version of Flappy-Whatever. I couldn't get higher than 2, but I really liked doing a loop-the-loop underwater to aim better or doing a backflip :)
This game is awesome... Like flappy bird but better! The music is great, and the whole thing is beautifully simple yet fun. If it were a free app, I'd download it.
A bit challenging since you can't see where the opening is for the barriers till you're about to run into it. I like being able to back up/reverse direction to correct though.
Really smooth and nice, and I enjoyed the audio changing every play so it wouldn't get old. :)

This is the sort of single-concept game that jams are good for, but the execution is lacking. There's not enough responsiveness in the controls, and seeing where the openings are feels awkward.
It's not an "easy to pick up, hard to master" kind of game. Hard as nails right from the start, but not frustrating at all! I really wanted to get better even when I was failing epicly. Great job!
For 4 hours, this is pretty nice. Better than some I've seen made in the full timeframe ;) it's still a bit too minimalistic though, but I think you're aware of that.
super clever idea. good twist on flappy that uses the theme well to differentiate. feels amazing when you jump out of the water and clear a high gap.
it's too hard to get into a flow though, since you've got to constantly make one pass and loop around again once you see the opening. if you just added an indicator on the right side of the screen it would make this soo good (imo)
Not my cup of tea but I enjoyed it, runs pretty smooth and the sound played gives it a good rhytim. It feels quite polished as well, for the short amount of time invested, I can picture people getting addicted to it... Just do the port to iOS/Android and get rich & famous!
FUN! i enjoyed this way more than i should have : d took me quite some time to understand why the sub would stop to accelerate but after that i managed to score 8 (- ; nice music and simplistic but great art.
Hard, but I think it's supposed to be that. I think it's a good concept and has a good execution. The controls were good and it's a fun game. Good work.
In short, a fantastic effort for such a short length of time. I had a similarly-constrained time frame to do my entry, yet nowhere did I get as far as you.
Love the twist. It feels so good to make the high jumps. Best I got was 7, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be coming back to have one more go... then another... and another... :)
This game was very frustrating; the submarine engine seems to work at random, and the barrier were quite hard to dodge. Then again, I generally am bad at this kind of infinite avoid-obstacles games... The music was nice though, I liked the variations. It kept me a little bit longer on the game ^^'
I could only get a 5, those high gaps would always kill me! The game is really a lot of fun and it felt great to launch myself out of the water. Considering it was made in only 4 hours this is terrific!
This game is very difficult but also very fun. Checked this out because I saw a neat-looking gif in the post mortems
Sadly, you do not get Front Flip For Style points, nor do you get points for backflipping through a gate you've already crossed and that makes me very sad
You did some really cool stuff with the music, too. Congrats on a solid entry!
What do i think of this game? I FUCKING LOVE IT! Got 7 after a few tries. Absolutely love the gravity/physics switch from above and below water. Great job. Fun and addictive.
I love this game, it's so peacefully frustrating and I spent 5 hours trying to find this game, just so I could rate it after I cleared my computer. 5/5 please make it easier
Fun little game. Took me a while to figure out I was actually coming out of the water, I thought the background was just some sort of gradient. I could just be dumb though. I like the way the music changes instruments, that was neat. Presentation is simple but pleasing. Nice work!
Cool game for such a short time! Controls were something new and difficult to explore. I learned to be very careful, and I tried many times but I never did better than four. Well done!
I tried it because I saw your blog post with the animated gif, and I also made a game about a ship that moves in curves under water, but it turns out they are very different.

Thanks for this.

good work! Looking forward to your next game
Not sure how to feel and rate all those flappy bird clones though :/

Audio was fantastic and the graphics totally worked! Good job!
