Deep Blue Ascend (BASIC 10Liner) for C64

In this game you are going to experience the relaxation as well as the thrill of an deep blue sea apnea diver. When you start the game your are asked to relax (for about 1.5 minutes*). This is important for every apnea diver to completely self focus. This is your descend time to the lowest point you've ever been. So, Relax.

When the white block appears on the screen you reached the target of your descend. You are pumped with endorphins and happy feelings but the tightness of your lungs is real.

When you are ready then press the fire button (Joystick port 2) to start your ascend journey and use the control to leave as many bubbles behind at the exit point as possible. 

There is no counter, and there is no goal. It is just you and yourself.

* ATTENTION: When you start the game it will take approximately 1.5 Minutes! until the game can be played. The reason is that it precalculates the bubble animation with some sin/cos magic which takes a good while in V2 BASIC. Sorry for the wait. If you play on VICE Emulator then I suggest you use the WARP mode until the white block is being displayed on screen.

This game was created in one day as part of the Bodensee GameJam 2022 (https://itch.io/jam/bodensee-gamejam-2022). The topics to choose from were:

• Enge (narrowness)
• time shift
• deep
• retro

I think I managed to hit three of them :)
