How it feels

A slow, deliberate paddle through an underwater world with quirky animal encounters and a surprisingly tough challenge.

What players say

Players describe a difficult and at times rage-inducing experience, similar to Getting Over It, where learning the controls and observing carefully leads to progress. The game offers creative level design and hidden content, though some warn about a bug in the final area and a new game button that deletes saves without warning.
