Visuals, game play, and audio all fit together to give texture to the little world. A seemingly simple game with far more depth than what's on the surface. The exploration and discovery kept me interested (got all 4 ending). Keep up the excellent work.

Very cool game. Nice scenario and game logic. I love the movement of the elements, the red tube,...

Took me a few minutes to figure out how to extend my "leash" but after that it was a great experience. Really neat idea!

Nice little game, I like how the red tube gets longer and longer as I progress on the game :)

I love your pixel art style. Underwater dog's air bubble as weapon agains't jellyfish? That's very weird and I like it :)

Nicely packaged little game with a unique feel. Swimming through the seaweed is very satisfying and fun. Perfect short and sweet jam game :)

Nice little game. It was fun going back and forth to my ship. After I found the chest, I won! XD
Thank you for participating.

This game is absolutely fantastic.

Fascinating and original gameplay, great unconventional weapon, fantastic visual/audio design and atmosphere. Very mysterious and dangerous.

A little frustrating at times, but overall the game is wonderful. The [R]elease part was a thrilling moment.

I love the little narratives like this that get built in flixel games - the multiple endings and the tone are so great. In my first run through I didn't realise you could activate speech, so I just collected the jellies until getting the crown. After that though I had to go through and read it all :)

Absolutely exceptionally brilliant! I admit I saw came searching after watching the button masher review, so I kind of knew what to expect.

The game is very consistent - being able to detach from the air hose and have the air bubbling from the hose etc is top-notch :)

Really good code too - I went took a look and was happy to discover a nice bit of haxe :)
