Wow, so I whipped this out in only daylight hours, so I only got about 16 hours into it. It shows -- it's very short (4 levels), the level design needs a lot of work, and there's no story. But it's the most complete and playable game I've ever made, so I'm proud of that.
The audio files are from freesound.org, so I declined to be rated in the audio category.
This is written in Haxe, using OpenFL, entirely from scratch (no other frameworks.) This also shows, lots of hackish stuff. ;)
I really like the atmosphere and visuals, that despite of being simple are still charming. Also very challenging, but it can get addicting as you go along. I'm just not a fan of the sound effects. Anyway, nice work!
Neat idea. Good Sound. I found controls were hard to use and I smashed into the walls too much. Maybe smaller swimming thing and less abrupt turning might make it easier to control.
I loved the atmosphere, really felt cold and dark, and great implementation of the themes!
nice movement, I felt I had control over the octopus the entire time, and the challenge was a nice steady 'stream' [hehe aren't I clever] of progression, nothing really felt unfair.
Nice level of polish. I wish I could get further, but it was also surprisingly difficult. The system of going back a level when out of lives works well, but it's still quite difficult to progress, at least for me :)
Hey! We have similar games :D I really loved the mood of the game! The fuzzy graphics and bubbly audio really made me feel deep underwater! I had some trouble getting used to the controls, and kept missing one or two points in level 3. Awesome work!

Nice game, great work for 48 hours! :)
