Very fun game, I really liked the underwater effect. The anchor felt a bit delayed with it's controls sometimes, and other times it will be really responsive. The music was also a real high point, although I'm not sure if it was because I had my PC volume too high but it was very loud during the intro. Good effort!
The game is very silly but feels really hard to control. The anchor physics are great but sometimes the anchor would stop going down randomly or something. Interesting concept, if you had slightly better anchor controls it would be better!
Wow, that's a seriously strange and original game! Good graphics and sound too. I would like the anchor to move a little more quickly, and have more space below the anchor to see where you're going.
I made it! \o/ Took a bit of luck with the physics, but after 4 failures I managed to get through all the levels in a row. Particularly loved the intro animation and the Angler fishes. Good work!
In one of the levels there was maybe a bug for me - not sure, but the anchor moved downwards *much* more slowly than in the other levels. Also in many of the levels the only way for me to win appeared to be to move past what looked like the level bounds and then stick to one of the corners from the outside. Not sure if that was the expected solution, but in the middle parts, there was often nothing obvious to hold on to.
Still a very cool and unique entry, agree about the intro animation being great and generally some lovely pixel art. Plus it's just inherently funny to have a sentient anchor exploring the deep sea. Never knew that's how these things worked.
Great idea! I like the graphics, the water shader looks especially cool. Interesting gameplay too, though it can get a bit stale with the anchor sinking quite slowly.
I found the music a bit irritating. Playing with headset, I heard it only on the right side, the second instrument then only on the left side - is this intended?
Nice pixel art graphics, very consistent style. I would have loved to have some more visual variety in the levels, but it still looks nice. You did a great job with the anker physics, it worked pretty well. I also think the overall playtime is just fine for a game jam, I could finish it and had fun with it. Music and sound is really great and fits the overall mood.

Really cool art too.
Very nice to have thought of pulling up attempt early!
Thanks for this unique experience
Nice chilling game!

Feel a little Monkey Island vibe - that's great :)
Audio and music are also good and native!
