Excellent stuff! I was surprised of how well the diving worked! With some more stuff to do (dangerous fish? Kraken?) this'd be a sure hit!

Nice job! I found the diving camera angle hard to work with at first, but I got better at it. Now, add fishing!
yarr, I was expecting other pirates, but yeah, the diving was cool. I liked how the map gets larger and larger.
Ok, the diving was very difficult to figure out what direction to go based on the camera angle, the perspective did not allow me to see any depth. I loved the map when sailing, that was VERY cool. Good idea, needs a little polish on the diving aspect to be an outstanding game, but it was very nice.
Is the music actually changing as I explore more and more areas? Neat!
Bout time this game showed up on my list. I love a) that there is actually music... getting sick of playing games in utter silence, and b) that it's dynamic.
I still don't understand the need for both of the two camera types. Maybe being able to zoom out in map view or some kind of risk reward for using either.
The first time I dove really deep kind of freaked me out and I didn't want to go get the last chest. So... Good job!
Oh and... is there any difference between selecting "Weigh Anchor" and "Yarr!", I must know!
Hehe,...it took me some time get into it! But then it was a nice game! A bit hard to control the diver...! Good job,dude!
I ended up giving up on figuring out how to control the diver. It just seemed so counter-intuitive...
Control for the diver is a little rough at that perspective, really easy to get turned around and lose the ship once you reach the bottom and start chasing after the angler fish :P
Nifty aesthetic, interesting gameplay. Wasn't a big fan of the music :P
Awesome polished entry!
Very well done. The views in the different modes are pretty nice. Only in the diving sequence it's a bit hard to orient myself.
Very neat. Only needs more variety ;)
Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.
Looks like the simulation of the disorientation of deep-sea diving was a complete success! :D
I liked the idea but I found the diving to be very difficult to control.
Ug, Jack so want to say gushingly nce things, but the controls frustrated me a lot. On the map view, you can't click in certain areas? You can steer in the direction of a sea square until it is discovered? On the dive view, the weird 3D thing frustrated me to no end. Plus, my divers kept dieing even though I'd pressed Q the whole time.
