If you are reading this, thank you for checking out my game! I am a new solo developer fresh out of college, and this is something I created in a month during my time there. It was built from scratch using C++ and the Vulkan graphics API.

Man I just can't get past level 4, the green divers are tough. Its fun though I really like the ability to dodge by going off the screen and then teleporting to the other side
Awesome work! Def worth checking out!
