Swim to move around, collect air to continue and dodge danger. Is there treasure? What else lies beneath the surface?

Mouse Control: left mouse click in direction you want to swim

Controller: left stick to choose direction, A button to swim

Time your swimming control with the motion of your dive buddy -- spamming the button won't work and will just get you frustrated / dead.

Game in Unity; Modelling and animation in Maya; Some textures and effects in Photoshop; Music instrumentation, recording and composition in Ableton Live; SFX recording and processing in Reaper.

Idea came pretty quickly -- started about 90 minutes after the compo start, spent ~30 hours total.

Thanks to https://twitter.com/pbhogan for the awesome https://github.com/pbhogan/InControl controller library. I've tested 360 wired and wireless controllers on Mac and PC. Should support other standard controllers as well.
