Really neat idea and execution! Atmosphere was wonderful and i thought the control scheme and resource management was interesting too. Greak work :D
Thank you for the kind words :)
Amazing game! You sold the atmosphere fantastically. I found it a bit tricky to get used to the flipper controls, but I think it was a good choice :)
I hope you continue this, caving games are rare and I think this game is one of the best out there
Thank you so much :) yeah the controls are pretty peculiar but I wanted to do something different than just "hold W to move forward".
Yeah I'm definitely going to continue it. Got a lot of ideas for it. Should release it on itch/steam next year some time.
This seems like a really cool game. The control scheme and atmosphere are excellent. I had to give up though as I get easily frustrated with games where the flashlight battery runs out so fast! :)
Hey, thanks for playing :)
You also have flares! And you can change the batteries on the flashlight.
Yeah, both times I played I still ran out though and ended up fumbling around in the darkness with just the glowsticks left! :)
Ah dang, yeah I think I'll extend the battery life by quite a bit. Thinking of having flares function differently, other than just a light source so aye, flashlight needs to last longer.
very good game! I just felt a little lost with the controls
Yeah they can take a bit of getting used to. I was going to add a simplified/accessibility version as well but ran out of time.
Ok, no problem, your game is very good, I also ran out of time for my game¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah this is the first game jam where I finished on time 😅 last 2 times I ran out of time and ended up not submitting.
There was also a game jam where I couldn't send the game because I had to travel (the prize was a pizza)😋😋😋
Very good game its bit hard to control the character but I still like the game anyway well done keep it up!
Thank you :)
Exactly why I never certified to cave dive. Got lost immediately. Good game.
I'd love to go cave diving (in theory) but I know I'd definitely just have a panic attack and probably drown. So I'll just stick to making games about things I'll never do 😅
Stick with open water and never look back.
