This game is a 48h gamejam entry for Alakajam !


**Goal :**

Dive as deep as you can but keep in mind you must survive the trip back to your boat to log a high score.


**Controls :**

- (arrow keys) move around

- (z) jump / swim

- (x) take / launch hermit crab


**Oxygen :**

- You can swim ( jump in ̶m̶i̶d̶a̶i̶r̶ midwater) using 50% of your current tank

- Open the clam with an hermit crab shell to refill your tank

- You have 5 oxygen tanks. Once they are all gone, you'll drown !!

Spoiler: It was a girl, an 8 bit girl, in that heavy old timey diving suit in the game whose entire purpose is to see numbers go up.
That is a sure way to retain our attention for another five seconds before we leave this dumbsterfire forever.

Would be nice to have some explanation of the controls or you know.. ANYTHING

This is another game that uses cute graphics to hide the challenging difficulty. The fact that you are going underwater is a nice twist on the flying higher and higher gimmick. This came out really well for a 48h gamejam entry.

Got a 1,700 score I was trying to go for 2000 but I just couldn't find a shell but this game still is simple but fun anyways
