How it feels

Swimming through hand-painted underwater worlds, you solve puzzles and navigate to the pulse of an original soundtrack, creating a gentle, rhythmic flow.

What players say

Players are split on this underwater rhythm-platformer. Some praise the way music syncs with environments and creatures, others find the floaty controls frustrating and the beat timing unresponsive. The game is short with simple puzzles, and a few warn about softlock bugs.
