Explore the ocean with a penguin.

The game revolves diving through progressively deeper procedurally-generated trenches for pearls. Battle fish for health and snowball upgrades to better survive the deepest trenches. Can you go deep enough to find the black pearl- or unravel the treasure of the Mariana Trench? (*If you're up for it, resurface after fully exploring Adelie Trench- without taking the black pearl* 😉)

No background music for now because of the deadline and also I don't know how to make background music. Not super confident about the difficulty progression/balancing- it starts out tough with weak short-ranged snowballs, but with a good run going you might end up with a snowball machine gun and breeze through. Might tweak things post-compo to make the start more accessible. :(
