Made for the following Game Jams:

Mini Jam 159: Ocean

Trijam #271

Speedjam #5

I was ambitious with this one with a limit of 3 Hours Dev time.

Controls:

Wasd and Arrow keys.

The themes included in this are as follows along with how I interpreted them.

Ocean: It's set in an ocean.

As small as possible: The entire art pack is uses one 64 tile sprite sheet of 16 px tiles. I also wanted the character to feel small in the environment.

New Toys: I interpreted this as a new mechanic. In this case I made a system for tracking a change in height over time and dealing damage to simulate The Bends.

Speed runnable: I had to implement a leaderboard and a timer to make it so you can try and beat your previous time.

Ascend: The goal is to reach the surface.
