Help Frank the fish descend into a series of caverns on his search for a fabled ocean in the depths of the earth. As you go deeper, the caverns get darker and more hostile.

You control Frank by aiming his jumps with the mouse. Jump with the left mouse button and switch between weak and strong jumps with the right mouse button.

The camera can be scrolled up or down with the arrow keys or mouse wheel. Press Space or the middle mouse button to reset.

Escape pauses the game.

Normal platformer. May be animation can be better.

A simple platformer with great levels! The fast option feels very nice to play around with, and the slow option allows for more precise movement. Great game, maybe the last level was a bit long.

Fun game loop, good amount of polish for the time period. Shame there's no audio for the player character jumping around!

Great game, couldn really use some some sounds, even basic ones would be nice. You can use this to make some nice game sounds at random https://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html. Also the gameplay got a little stale so maybe add some more mechanics going through the levels. However the game play was nice, however I did have an issue when I was pointing to the right but would go left. Overall nice job!

So I beat the whole game without knowing you could adjust the strength of the jump lol. The level design is great and the number of levels and variety of features is really impressive. The biggest improvement I can think of is to make the camera pan in the direction the cursor is pointing to reduce the number of blind jumps. Great work, though.

Great entry. Really enjoyed this game. I found that certain situations called for the different jump strengths so that mechanic worked really well. Thanks for the game!

The game is well made and polished, I like the pixel art graphics. I am impressed.
