You are a fish, your goal is to go deeper and deeper. Avoid getting eaten.

Cool game, took me some time to figure out that you can control the speed at which you dive, and I can't decide if the death sound is the best or the worse thing about the game ^^. Congratulation on your game!

Nice game! :) I managed to break it - sorry. :) If you swim off the screen, nobody can eat you. So you can just hide and go AFK and the score keeps on getting up. Maybe you should add a barrier on the left and right. ;) Try adding some gameplay screenshots in your description - it would attract more people to try your game. ;)
Simple but nice art and some animations. :)

@matejag Hahaha, that's amazing. Yeah we were supposed to add some barriers on the sides in the beginning but I guess we forgot about it. Oh well, what are game jams without it's bugs :)

I really liked the color palette you chose. It definitely pushed the visuals out of the "game jam art" realm and into the "stylistic art" realm.

I also found the little cheat to sneak off the edge of the screen. I made it to ~700 without it, but it got tough with the enemies being nearly invisible.

Good work!
