Below The Ocean

A quick purchase while the Summer Sale was still on, spotted it in passing, saw in the trailer that it featured rope physics, and that was it, bought it and installed it straight away. I liked it, as you progress through the levels, it introduces new, simple, yet clever mechanics to keep things fresh, but it’s not too long either, just four levels, each lasting between 10 and 15 minutes. You can extend the experience if you want to find all the diamonds and complete it without dying. For the sale price, it’s more than worth it.

Incredible

I ran into the dev's at a retro game expo and I knew form the demo that I would have to try it out. I went home, bought it off steam, and proceeded to play one of the best 2D platformers I've ever played!

Played a demo version on cool math games, bought the game to support the dev, without much thought to finishing it. While I still am not done with it, I find it relaxing to come back to when none of my library looks appealing. Very straightforward, short missions take away the need I feel to commit to a long play session. If you're considering this game, you might as well pick it up, it costs less than a Big Mac by now.

Pretty fun and simple puzzle platformer which doesn't take much of your brain power, weirdly cozy too running around in the deep seas :D Definitely recommended :D

Below The Ocean is a precision platforming adventure developed by Ismael Rodriguez and published by Retro Casual LLC that builds its identity around movement mastery, environmental puzzles, and underwater exploration. Rather than relying on combat systems or large narrative sequences to drive engagement, the game focuses on a smaller collection of mechanics and develops them carefully throughout the experience. The result is a focused platformer that rewards patience, experimentation, and skill improvement while creating a journey that feels satisfying without becoming unnecessarily complicated. The game places players beneath the ocean surface in search of hidden treasures buried deep within dangerous underwater environments. Exploration becomes the foundation of progression, but reaching those discoveries requires understanding movement systems that operate differently from traditional platforming games. Instead of simply running and jumping through levels, players navigate the ocean using an oxygen tether mechanic that introduces a distinct layer of challenge and creativity to movement. The tether system quickly becomes the heart of the entire experience. Players swing between…
