So today we're diving for gold in the Amazon (the River not the e-commerce giant).
Get the booty and bring it back to the boat .. please be aware, some of the fish nip.

Control = A D W
Begin again = B
Xbox controller should work too :)

Wow, once those piranha's get the scent of human, they don't hold back! Fun game! Thanks for sharing!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH (That was me when I got eaten. Twice)

What a fun and gory game :-D . Well done. Randomization of the piranha's makes for a different challenge every time but also seams to affect the difficulty in some parts quit a bit.

Fun game! I wasn't expecting the fish to do that and then the swarm! Aahhhh!
Nice graphics and audio. Controls feel responsive.
Nicely done.

nice game overall and you seemed like you had a lot of fun making the sfx XD. gameplay was smooth, the only issue i had was when i entered the right(right in the sense , right and leftf) part of the sea, the camera wasn't able to render the phiranas on the close to me and i couldn't play the game further.

That was real fun and yeah totally thanks to piranhas :) Music sounds very "underwater", nice touch. Graphics looking cool and having compact and original feeling. I would wish for arrow keys to work as well (when already taking care of gamepad too, just why not), myself not being very left handed.

Oh my! I wasn't ready to be eaten so brutally!
Thank you for laugh!
Good job making this game!

Great game, love the art style and how panic inducing hearing the bite sound effect is. Nice job!

Good game, easy and fun to play with a nice style :) Well done !

Thank you all for your compliments, it's nice to see that our game is appreciated by other people :) and also for your comments it's very useful! It's my first game jam, two months ago I didn't know what it was ^^ and it makes me want to do more!

It's a fun game. The controlls are very responsive which is great but with the randomness of the fish and effectively a one hit kill, a break key would have gone a long way to making them less frustrating.

The cute fish add a certain level of creepiness. I would have liked a way to escape the fish, or be able to sustain a couple of fish bites, but a fun little game and nicely done for a COMPO entry.

Very fun game! Those piranhas did make it tricky though. Nice job!
