And I like the aspect of finding stuff on your journey. But the backtracking for air is a pace breaker and it's boring. Overall nice game, but you could at least make some air capsules in the deep or something."},{"author_name":"erezronen","author_uid":"36955","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:33pm","epoch":1398785280,"text":"Thanks for the feedback!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>We had too little time for balancing, otherwise we probably would have add more &quot;air bubbles&quot; to resupply your life bar in the deeper screen. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>But time was short, so we had to do with a different solution - that's why dying doesn't reset the game and just get you back to the first screen. we also made the 2nd air bubble to give you enough air to get from that first screen anywhere you want - and if you get the fins you'll really won't have to worry about air anymore."},{"author_name":"helloWorldStudios","author_uid":"36114","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 6:46pm","epoch":1398796860,"text":"Nice game.

It is also a tale of monsters and the things they do to their children. Take a dive, collect advanced equipment to dive farther and uncover the protagonist's past by finding items he thought are long lost. \r\n\r\nEXPLORE - Don't be afraid to explore the underwater cave system. Try to find as many items as you can before you reach the end. \r\nSWIM - When you drown, you come back to the first screen. Don't let it frustrate you though - you won't lose the equipment you collected before dying.\r\nUNCOVER THE TRUTH - Learn as much as you can about the life of the Diver. The game ends with a credit scene - be sure not to miss them!\r\n\r\nThe game can be 100% complete in about 7 minutes. With trial and error it will probably take around 15-20 minutes. You can also reach the ending well before you collect all the items, so be sure to check your map and verify you been to all the screens. You can also try to speedrun the game and see how fast you can reach the ending. I managed to do it in around 2:30 minutes.\r\n\r\n(give the game a minute or two to load)\r\n\r\nThe team:\r\nProgramming - Stav Goldstein\r\nArt - Mirit Ben Hur\r\nGame Design - Erez Ronen\r\nMusic & Sound - Assaf Halevi\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks to: Danny Marcowitz, Alon Tzarafi, Evyatar Amitay & Lior Zalmanson","title":"Deep Sea"}
