You are a contestant on the popular Sunken Salvage game show. Dive into the depths to find riches and treasures beyond your wildest dreams!

And yet...perhaps not all is right with this strange show. The deeper you go, the more of the truth you uncover, the more you start to wonder: is any treasure really worth this?

This game is an entry for the 2019 Itch.io Community Game Jam (https://itch.io/jam/cgj).  It was made during a week-long period, including all code and assets.  This goes some distance to explaining both the bad programmer-art and the slightly worse novice-code. At least, I like to think so. Please enjoy, and rate/review/provide feedback if you're able!  Thank you for your time!

I like the mystery element and the story very much! Really wish there was a way of healing while underwater, as I keep having to start again after too many run-ins with sharp coral!

Thanks! Yes, health packs (or similar) were something I considered, but time worked against me for that one. Also under consideration was another shop upgrade element to upgrade your health, or your resistance to damage (there are actually five different damage types, but only two of them are actually used in this current prototype - 'spike' from coral, and 'drowning' from...well, drowning!) Possibly something for me to tackle in some future version!
