This is beautiful, the simplicity, art story and also the animation, animation make move left and right so fun and satisfying and perfectly fits with the character, btw i got jumpscare at start coz i forgot to turn the volume a little bit lol :)
How did you manage to make this in a week? This is amazing! The art, the story, I love it. I especially like the big fish enemys! Please turn this into a full realease! If it had more gameplay and would cost about 10 or 15 bucks I would definely buy it. And if you do this, please add more of these amazing Enemys. Question: Is the fish-thingy that floats around you made with procedural animation?
Only one thing is missing, I think: In which way is this fitting the theme?
Yes the floaty fish friend is completely procedurally animated through code and so is the player character.
Usually when I do a game jam I try to fit a mechanic to the theme, but this time I wanted to try to build the game around the design philosophy "less is more" / "design by subtraction". I tried to use as little as possible to tell a short story, so the first half is dark and you're always going down, then it switches to being colourful and bright as you return to the surface. I guess I tried to use as little as I could to show the characters relationships
Oh, that makes sense. I think it would have been good if you wrote on the submission page. Did you allready think of working on it more, and maybe making it a full release? I played the game three times now and I will continue. I'm a big fan!
... I was not prepared for this, but this was absolutely amazing. The only fitting compliment for this has to be, "please turn this into a full game". I spent 15 minutes of this, and it felt like seconds, I believe you have something special on your hands here :)
Thanks for playing! But I'm not sure I could flesh out this game more without spoiling the simplicity, plus I've already got way too many projects on the go right now
I love the art style and mechanic of "hiding" from the monsters. It suits the character's design and compliments the platforming very well. A great submission, short and sweet :)
This is so cool! The movement feels fluid and precise yet unique and I like the way the little floaty creature is incorporated into it. On top of that the art is stylistic and mysterious. Again, love it!

Cool game! Always excited to play a game by you. Atmosphere was mysterious and cool. I like it.
Great to see you're still following my work! Always nice to see someone familiar
