A lighthearted, old-school underwater adventure with quirky characters and secret-filled exploration.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, charming underwater metroidvania ported from a 2013 Flash game, completable in under two hours. Some praise the cute art and music, while others find the movement rigid, the aiming limited to 90-degree angles, and the framerate choppy on PC.
