Development :
Although submitted I will still partly work on this game after the Jam. I have confronted my fear of sound design with this game. Most of the UI is still not finished.

Nice unique game, as the other guy said, the controls are weird at first, but you get used to it. The sounds are also pretty nice and add to the overall atmosphere. Is the cave randomly generated each time?
Thank you for the insight! Although I have considered the idea, the cave isn't randomly generated.
good concept, but lags
I was aware of the performance issues. At first, I wanted to add an executable for the game but recently there has been some speculations on some games on itch containing malware so I abandoned the idea. I definitely had troubles with optimization and It's something I want to improve on in the future.
I really enjoyed this one. at first, the controls felt a bit strange, but once I realised how they worked, it felt very satisfying. Finding the exit took a few tries, but I did end up finishing and having fun! The game froze for quite some time while loading the leaderboard, I genuinely thought it might have crashed - but I can't tell if that's an optimization issue or just my potato of a pc being what it is.
You mentioned overcoming your fear of sound design with this one - I think you did a good job. The scenario alone is anxiety-inducing for a lot of people with all the stories about cave diving, and the sound design fit the atmosphere perfectly, imo.
Also, for whatever reason, my brain got nostalgic feelings from seeing the little sprite swim - I think because in horizontal position it digs up some memory of Commander Keen 4's underwater level for me, personally.
Overall, was a really enjoyable experience for me (:
Thank you for the feedback! The Leaderboard lagging is an issue I am aware of looking. I didn't knew how to fix it since its integrated in the engine and I couldn't find any solution on how to preload the window. Again, I thank you for providing a helpful feedback and even finishing the game :D
Really cool concept :) couldn't find that darn exit tho haha
Idea is cool, movement is actually very satisfying, but i cant find the exit
Either way thank you for trying!
Nice game, I can't find the exit but its a nice idea.
Glad you tried and had fun
