Sorry man, can't launch it

Forgot to mention that XNA 4.0 Framework has to be installed. See link in description.

Pretty interesting idea for a free runner under water. My problem was that it was way too easy and then it just suddenly got nearly impossible. The collision on the fishes was a bit too large, making it unforgiving to try to maneuver around them. Graphics and audio were very good, but nothing spectacular.

I thought XNA were dead hehe.

I liked the movement mechanics, people commonly screwed it. The game is pretty easy for a long time, making it slow, than you simply cannot go further.

Great job! Got to 118 meters.

I can't launch it, too. I don't know if it's a Win8 thing or not.

@holgk Did you install XNA 4.0 Framework?

Relaxing and beautiful.

Took a while to get this loaded but when I did it was a surprisingly relaxing experience. Definitely very interesting to dive (dohoho) into this game, cheers for putting it out there!

107m! Nice and relaxing until you get past the ~70m mark! Also, good to see some people still flying the XNA flag ;)

It was far too slow in the beginning, I almost just closed it and moved on out of boredom, but I stuck it out. After about 120m it goes from far too easy to literally impossible to complete each wave without taking some damage, and the air tanks don't restore as much as you lose, making it just a matter of attrition. If it's random, you really need to make sure there is a way through, top to bottom delta-pattern fish isn't really a game...

"Whaddup, fish?" xD

Good music and graphics but dull gameplay.

Innovative idea for and endless runner type game, good job

arcturusdeluxe 2014-05-03 21:57

Excellent presentation in this, and sharp controls. It's really slow and a bit dull in the beginning though. It'd be better if it started off at a much higher difficulty I think.

Awesome graphics and music. But can't catch all rules how-to-play, what-to-avoid, what-to-collect (green fishes only ?) and why-my-presure-became-zero-when-i'm-diving-to-bottom. :)

Some kind of tutorial missed.

ciderpunk 2014-05-04 00:30

210m! ...is that a beer can i hear?

blahoink 2014-05-04 01:27

the game progresses maybe a bit too slowly but a great game otherwise. phenomenal sounds/music

javierecf 2014-05-04 01:53

Good music and sound effects, the graphics are nice and the animations are non visually intrusive while evading enemies, 103m was my record.

rojo 2014-05-04 02:10

Your sfx were really good. I also like the simplicity of the graphics. I think the game starts off a little slow as far as the more complex patterns of fish go, so tightening up the pacing could be a good improvement.

praporomsk 2014-05-04 06:15

Good graphics, I liked how it's getting dark the deeper you going. We had similar idea for this LD :)
