Amazing game could use a bit of bug fixing since you can kill the diver and die and you can still play.
I've created an updated version of this game with all bugs fixed and tons of changes, check it out here!
If you're reading this comment I have released an update to this game that expands on all the concepts!
PLAY IT NOW!
I'm keeping this page up since it's a game jam entry.
This game is amazing, ( i also subscribed to your channel btw ) , the game is really fun and well done . the idea also has a lot of posibilites for example you could make a multiplayer game were one player plays as the boss and the other player plays as the hero/diver . it is an amazing job for 48 hours.
Can you make a download link?
what do you use for screenshots?
I just record footage and use ezgif.com to turn that into a gif
Great game, but for some reason my rmb wasn't working.
are you using Opera GX? some players using that browser also had trouble with RMB
I'm using chrome. Fortunately, it's still possible to "beat" the game without rmb, I obviously got the split upgrade last.
This was tons of fun, loved it up until it just looped, I discovered that after a while I could just swim at the diver and press nothing and he kills himself via my spikes upgrade
This game look really fun to play, but it miss the option to remap the key to move. I'm french and have a different keyboard, and the W,A,S and D keys are far away from each others, so not really appropriate for movements. I can play with the arrow keys but that's not the same
I don't currently have the time to make a remapping system but I can add "IJKL" as movement keys which should make it less awkward to play, sorry about that!
An update is coming soon.
Oh that's a good idea ! Thanks for the quick response !
I love the game! If you were to keep working on it, I would recommend adding other boss you could play as or new abilities that can be unlocked
I love the music and art but I wish the best strategy wasn't just getting as close to the diver as possible and spamming all attacks
I'm currently working on an update that should fix this problem and others, consider following to see it drop within this week!
I really enjoyed this, and I'm excited for whenever it gets updated (as mentioned in another comment)! One bug I noticed though- the boss bar is still able to be interacted with as a slider.
Oh dang. that's a big one lol, thank you!
Thank you! This game was made in only 48 hours so I didn't have time to flesh out certain mechanics but I will be updating it soon
SO F-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!! From the concept to the game, the art and the music, OMG, this is GOATED!
I would love if you could also play my game:

Hello, SeaFortress! Francisco Rabelo here. I made the music for the game and I appreciated so much your comment! Thanks a lot for the super positive feedback, ha ha! So glad you liked it!
Surely I will play your game now and also leave my feedback after this. : )
Thank you! :)
I really liked your take on the theme, well done
GREATEST game i've seen so far. Even moren impressive considering the fact it's been done in 2 days.
Now if you've got some time, you can rate my game too
Hi, samitch2408! Francisco Rabelo here (game soundtrack creator)! Surely I'm very glad to know that you enjoyed our game and yeah, it was very challenging to make the game in just 2 days, ha ha. I feel very proud of the result!
I'm gonna rate your game too, brother! You can share the game link here so I can play it, alright? Thanks a lot! : )
What an amazing game we made together, bro! I enjoyed this experience SO MUCH! The game is very challenging and very replayable with all of the upgrades after each battle! My best performance was a battle with the diver with 13 hearts, ha ha. I think I got very far, but I wanna beat him until he gets to the 19 hearts, lol...
Thank you man! Working with you was a blast, the music in this is SO GOOD!
It was an AMAZING project, bro! : )
