Good job! Simple game, but very well executed. My only critique is that it starts a bit slow. Otomata? Never used it before. Ill have to give it a try. Thanks!

Nice twist to the side scroller. Music is way to repetitive, to the point I rather it wasn't there.

Liked the concept of having the barnacles slow you down, made it interesting when deciding which way to go. I liked the design of the submarine. The music howwver was very repetitive, would have liked just some ambient music instead.

oh congratulation! Nice art! Can I follow it also on indiexpo? Do you have also a page there? This looks great! I looked for the games that used the #LDJAM but I don't find yours. So good luck!! I will hope to make a video about it!

Congrats on finishing! Art was pretty cool, wish the music was a bit more but still fun! Nice work!

Shame you didn't elect for "Mood", since I really liked the mood of the game! The controls were good, and the general mechanic fit the theme. I wish that there was some way to "shake off" the barnacles, since after ~4 it was hard to avoid hitting more, and after ~10, you basically couldn't avoid rocks. Nonetheless, great job!

@sorlok I turned on the "Mood" category for you! Thanks for the suggestion.

Good simple game! And I liked the use of barnacles. I never made it to the end, but record was 169 meters left with only two barnacles on my hull.

Nice simple game. Making it to the end is maybe a bit too dependent on getting lucky barnacle / rock positioning.

Nice game. I really like the graphics and music. they create a specific game climate.
Unfortunately I could not go to the end, it's a bit difficult for me :P
