Welcome to the Deeper Diver sporting event! As a diving contestant, your goal is to dive deeper than anyone else! 

(Share your high score in the comments below!)

How to Play

The object of the game is simple: Dive as deep as you can without running out of oxygen. If you run out of oxygen, you have 5 seconds before your run is over.

The path changes every time, and the obstacles will keep coming for forever. You will never hit the bottom. Somebody managed to fill the world's only bottomless pit with water and sea junk, and you're jumping into it for the fun of seeing how far down you can reach.

Please leave comments if you notice any game-breaking bugs or issues that I can try to fix. After the game jam, I hope to improve the visuals some more; including creating an actual swimming animation for the diver. I'd also try to add more obstacle types, and refine the input system a bit. With a lot more time and effort, I could add online leaderboards.

Please be sure to leave your high score in the comments!
