Breath Bound

Breath Bound is a 2D co-op puzzle adventure where two divers share one oxygen tank and have to keep each other alive by scrounging air and navigating the treacherous obstacles of the sea. Every stretch of the journey back to the surface is a small test of coordination, timing and teamwork.

About the Game

The way up is harder than the way down.

You both start at the bottom of the sea, slow and careful, sharing a single tank of air.

Bubbles are scarce, currents tug, and every movement must be timed together as you rise toward the surface. Try it solo to manage both divers at once, or tackle the climb with a partner. The ascent is brief but tense, and every exchange matters.

Created during the 2025 Global Game Jam under the theme Bubble, the team developed this short game collectively, polishing it and learning a great deal along the way.
