Ocean gate

In Ocean Gate, you play as a diver in an underwater cave filled with treasures. Your goal is to get as many treasure chests from the cave back to the submarine. Be aware, however, as your oxygen is limited. You can pick up chests by bumping into them. Note that treasures make you heavier, so be carefull which chests you take with you. The wooden chests are worth the least, then the iron ones and the most valuable treasures are the golden ones. After you brought your loot back to the submarine, you can buy upgrades and restore your oxygen. You can restore oxygen for one coin, make your swimspeed better and lower your oxygen depletion rate. You can also advance your submarine to a deeper point in the cave. With these upgrades you can reach even deeper into the sea when you reenter the cave. There is no real end goal, but when you reach the end of the cave, you can say you've completed the game. 

We made all of the art for the game ourselves. The sound effects came from freesound.org. The game itself is made in Unity using the programming language c#. The font is 'Pixeled' by OmegaPC777.

We are a bunch of friends from around 18 years old who decided to participate in the Brackeys Game Jam. During the jam we often met up in each other's houses to work on the game together which was a lot of fun. 

Thanks a lot for playing our game! We hope you had as much fun playing the game as we had making it :)

this is a pretty cool underwater exploration game, I don't think I've played anything like it before, but after a while the game gets a bit repetitive because of the limited amount of upgrades, I have some suggestions on what you could add to this game.

1: add the ability to be able to swim up to the surface if the character goes up high enough.

2: add some things that can attack you, like sharks for example, when attacked you will lose some oxygen which will make it more tense trying to go back to the sub.

3: add some new upgrades like a spear gun if you plan to add any hostile creatures.

4: make the map bigger.

so those were my suggestions on what I think could make this game much better, I hope you see this comment.
