This is an unconventional take on precision platforming.
Navigate through increasingly challenging gauntlets of Kraken tentacles alongside the looming pressure of limited lung capacity.
A simple yet tough little arcade style game with mouse only controls.

Best experienced with sound ON.
The audio support is limited in the web player version.
For the best experience download the standalone version below (and maybe play with headphones).


How to play:

  • Hold Left Mouse to swim.
  • Move mouse to guide swimmer.
  • Collect tools in each stage.
  • Return the tools to the buoy at the water surface to complete the stage.
  • Try not to drown.




This game was made in a week for the Alphabet Superset, a creativity challenge about making a new creative piece each week, based on letters of the alphabet.

B is for 'breath'. Or 'Buoy'? Boat?


Goodbye Unity. Thanks for the years helping me into this passion.

Really enjoyed this game, simple yet effective game design, the only thing I noticed was that the final two levels seemed easier than some of the previous levels.
