Description
Ably assisted by a monkey sidekick and a labradoodle professor, Aqua Boy is an intrepid underwater adventurer - scouring the uncharted depths for mysterious, long-forgotten artifacts. Unfortunately, his latest mission has gone drastically wrong!

Ooh, well done. I was curious how I was going to know when one of the powerups was about to run out. Making a ring of powerup icons that surround the player then slowly wink out as the time runs down is a fantastic idea!

(Spoiler?) there are 4 secret items (coffee, tool pack, banana gun, pajamas), the later 2 would change your look. When entering each room, look for isolated areas with no apparent paths, then u shall find them.

Great game. Being underwater and allowing you to swim freely through the map took a lot of the usual pains out of metroidvania games (all the platforming required to go back to certain areas). Fun, lots of good innovations, and for those of you getting lost, the flashing square on the mini map will tell you where to go. 5/5.

i became invisible for a minute, and when i tried to teleport, it locked up. also, why is the whole map visible before i've been to those places?
I've seen this happen before but I've never been able to replicate it - I'll have my eyes peeled for possible causes. Cheers!
