Submarine Souls

by Benjamin aka Psychomonster

Hi there! This is my first Ludum Dare submission in about seven years.
And since the theme is “Depth”, it’s *totally unexpectedly* a game about diving… can you believe it? 😄

Made with Pico-8.

A tiny diving adventure:
Navigate the depths, manage your oxygen, avoid collisions, reach the harbor, and aim for the best speedrun time!

Controls

→ Use the arrow keys to thrust in any direction.

Gameplay

- Avoid collisions with animals and walls.
- Animals deal 30% damage.
- Walls always deal at least 1% damage, but the faster you crash, the more it hurts.
- Oxygen depletes while underwater.
- Refill it at air pockets in caves—but that costs time!

I’m super curious to see how fast someone can beat the game.
Take screenshots and share your best runs!

Have fun and thx for rating :v:
