Submarine-Souls

Welcome to my entry for Ludum Dare 57, inspired by the theme “Depth.”

And yes... against all odds, it ended up being literally about diving! 😄
Built with Pico-8, it’s a small-scale underwater adventure where you explore, manage oxygen, avoid crashes, and hunt for a good speedrun time.

It’s my first jam in 7 years, and I’m thrilled to be back in the game dev saddle!

How to play:

• Using arrow keys to thrust into the direction of your choice.
• Avoid collisions with walls and sea animals
  • animals will deal 30% damage
  • wall collisions deal at least 1% dmg but the faster you are the more dmg will be dealed
• diving costs Qxygen (BlueBar)
  • recover in caves you
• goal is to find the finish flag on the main harbor
  • there is a speed run timer in the upper right
  • how fast can you reach the goal?
