This is a simple game about making it to the surface and trying not to drown, made for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam. I've had a lot of fun making this, though I did get started a bit late. And I hope you'll enjoy it, even though it's somewhat short.

P.S. I didn't add a "level restart" button so you just have to drown :::)

-= Story =-
Far in the future, humanity has expanded beyond earth, colonizing and terraforming planets in far off solar systems.
You were on a team of scouts sent out to a previously unknown star named "Uradi", how exactly it went unseen for so long is unknown, but what is known is that it may just support alien life. 

You were sent down in a scout ship to land on the surface of this star's most distant planet, one that strangely seems to host liquid water despite its distance from its host star.

Before you could touch ground, your ship seemed to malfunction, and was sent hurtling into a trench in this planet's ocean. Oxygen is scarce, and you must rely on shoddy backup tanks that have scattered themselves across the underwater area to breathe, and what's worse, each tank only gives you 5 seconds of breath. Your only choice is to ascend to the surface, and hope you don't drown first.
