Coin Diver

original version made by VDZ in 48 hours for
Ludum Dare 29 - 'Beneath the Surface'

---

In Coin Diver, you dive into the sea to collect coins.
Press left and right to rotate, and Z or space to swim.
As you spend time underwater, you will run out of air.
Find an air pocket to refill your air before you drown!
Furthermore, your temperature will drop slowly; if it reaches
0%, you will die of hypothermia. Try to surface before this happens.

If you return to the surface alive, your score is doubled.
Collect multiple coins before refilling your air for bonus points.

Some tips:

- Play the game with sound enabled. The music will let you know when
  you're about to drown.

- Pay attention to the background color and the music; you'll be able
  to tell how deep you are.

- Don't just mash the swim button. Using the button more conservatively
  allows you to steer more precisely.
