The character is soo cute! I love the fact that you use bubbles as a moving force, it's a nice little touch. Overall the game feels great. Graphics, sound, and pacing are nice. I would prefer a keyboard for the controls, but it's just a matter of taste. Great job!

The 3D art is soooo good! Loved the main menu as well. Gameplay could be a bit more interesting, but overall a really good submission :)

The 3D models are very well-made for such a short period of time, although it lacks cohesion when combined with the rest of the art. Audio is fun and fits the rest of the game pretty well.

Gameplay is not too well though out though, it's easier to just not use the bubbles to thrust so you can focus on shooting the enemies. Alternatively, you can just straight up not shoot the enemies at all and thrust straight downwards, which actually makes you too fast for anything to kill you (even if an enemy spawns underneath you).

After using the latter method, i discovered that after about 800m, nothing spawns anymore, and the game is just watching a number go up.

The game wasn't bad, but it's far from perfect

The 3D models are really well made but I think it looks a little weird when mixed with the 2D art but I understand that there is a time constraint after all. I also think the game is a little too easy since I found myself just using bubbles above me so I can sink faster and as someone else pointed out, after a certain depth nothing spawns anymore. But I think the controls are very fitting for this type of casual game, so I have to say that overall it's a nice experience and everything that is lacking right now can easily be fixed later if you want to.

Cute graphics! The gameplay is simple, but the first 200 meters were interesting to swim :)

Really great animations, sound effects and polish. I didn't really find myself using the booster too much though. Nice work.

Very fun game. It seems that there are a lot of games related to the deep sea. The gameplay of this game makes me shine, that is, I feel that the audio effects can be designed well, and the others are very good!
