• First, collect the boots.
• Then, grab the suit.
• Finally, collect the helmet and escape!

Once you've collected all three pieces, look for the rope to appear at the top of the sea and escape.

I like the movement physics. fun to play.

it'd be cool if an indicator happened, letting you know a piece of armor was coming, like a sound or maybe an arrow

Thanks for playing! I tried for a bit to get a unique sound to trigger when a piece appeared on screen but realized too late that I'd need to rework some of the other functions in the process to get it to work. I meant for this project to be the first in a series of really short experiences I would make to get better at finishing projects and this exceeded my goal of two weeks by a few months, working on and off to get it across the finish line.

I reached a point with this where a lot of my ideas needed to get cut to just get this one out and over. I also cut a function that was going to generate air bubbles near the character, one where a huge wave (three hazards high) would wash over the screen, and a proper win screen with animation.

I learned a lot doing this one and I'm working on my next project now, applying the lessons along the way. I appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing!

The idea that I couldn't make the change didn't sit right with me so I took a few minutes and figured it out! A sound will now play when the piece of armor enters the screen from the right. Thanks again for the feedback @Ummmm_ok!
