I loved the art and the animation of the main character, the platforming and the active pressure of oxygen made for interesting gameplay elements! I felt confused as to what to do though with the items I picked up, we have a bit of a similar problem in our title as well. Anyway, the music is really great! Great ambience and when you run out of oxygen, the sounds are so ominous that I literally wanted to avoid running out so that I wouldn't freak out from how creepy dying was. Really, great job there!
So glad that you enjoyed the game and atmosphere we built! This is Mae McCrindle / Decimae speaking — I was on music and dialogue, and I'm honestly taking "instilling a deep fear of passing out" as a massive compliment! Everyone put a lot of love into this, and we had an absolute blast with the jam. Looking forward to trying yours out, too!
I think after judging is wrapped up, we'll be dropping the soundtrack on streaming services — so next time you need to have a panic attack in the grocery store, we'll be there!
I really liked this! The main gameplay loop is a lot of fun, and the soundtrack was great!
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
