An interesting game, I really liked the graphics and the idea I would be glad if you rate my game

This is a fun little game. The expressions on the monsters (?) you pass are amazing - I liked how their expressions (and the background color) change as you go deeper. The ending was great too. More games should have surprise/twist endings.

@rose Thanks a lot :) for the nice feedback. They are friendly monsters.

Really enjoyed this - it'd be cool if you could animate the diver, perhaps an extension to consider?

Pretty basic, but calm and meditative. Not sure about the waking up part; it could have worked okay as just an infinite "runner"

I like the vibe! It'd be nice if the diver faced the direction you were going tho. The music is really calming. And I liked how the squids(?) were looking worried and looking down as you went to the end, makes you anticipate what's down there. Good job!

The simpler the better. I like the design of monsters :)

The game has such a nice mood!!! I love the aesthetics. And the surprise at the end.

The derpy faces are great :D Also liked the ending a lot.

I liked that towards the end the characters’ expressions turned into horrified :D

joonamo27 Apr 2021, 17:10

Cool twist in the end! The dude in looked much happier to be woken up by a phone than I would ever be :joy: I'd just want to hang out with the tentacle buddies!

CodeForJoyCaroauthor27 Apr 2021, 17:48

@joonamo You sure have a point 🤣

CodeForJoyCaroauthor27 Apr 2021, 17:49

@noke Thanks, I'm glad you noticed.

The mood is very cool, i like the funny graphics you did, the twist at the end is nice but the alarm clock at the end is so loud xD

Very relaxing game! Only thing I'd change is to zoom out the camera a bit, and maybe let the camera lag behind the player a tad. Otherwise, great job!

We loved this and especially enjoyed the twist ending! Great graphics, especially the faces. Lots of fun to play. :)

Funny short game. Cool!

The circle creatures are so cute and funny; I love their expressions! The music and sounds are very nice too, calm and soothing. I would enjoy continuing the gameplay a little longer...but that's how the end of a good dream feels, right?

This was funny and a pleasant experience overall with the hand drawn graphics and sound. Very nice!
