The Diver

Hi! 
This is  my first game, and it is also a course project for a game design class.

Hope you enjoy it. 

Player Manual

Overview

You are a diver who becomes trapped in an unknown underwater cave. Just as panic sets in, you discover you are not alone—a frail man in tattered clothes sits near the cave's entrance. He claims to know the way out but warns that escape is only possible if you retrieve three ancient relics hidden deep within the cave. According to him, these relics will unlock a sealed stone gate—the only passage to freedom. With no other choice, you set out to uncover the relics and find your way back to the surface...

Basic Mechanics

• Two sets of physics systems: On-Ground and Under-Water

  • On-Ground:

    • Greater gravity

    • Faster x-axis movement

    • Greater y-axis boost

  • Under-Water:

    • Less gravity

    • Slower x-axis movement

    • Oxygen limit

• Death conditions
  You will fail the game if any of the following occur:

  • Running out of oxygen while underwater

  • Touching spikes

  • Being caught by whatever is chasing you

  You will not lose the relics you already collected after you respawn.

• Saving point:
  Keep an eye on the glowing crystals. Touch them and you will be respawned near them when you die.
