Abyssal Ascent

Abyssal Ascent entails you the player, a stranded submarine pilot, stuck at the bottom of an oceanic trench attempting to resurface. With a high-tech Bubble Escape Pod, can you reach the surface without popping? Squeezing past spiky terrain and dodging ravenous and/or inquisitive sea creatures is not a challenge for the faint-hearted, but it doesn't seem like you have many other choices. Replenish your oxygen using Bubble Columns, lean on the sides of the bubble using WASD to influence its movement beyond the passive upwards floating, and left click to expend some of your Oxygen to dash forwards.

With one life to live, we hope your hopes don't burst.

Made for GGJ 2025. Theme: Bubble
