Great! Beautiful graphics and the gameplay was fun! I spent a few grand on a $10 fish haha

Nice work Stuffie. Lovely, polished graphics, interesting concept and great level presentation (I love round world). Really tough if you mess up once, but I guess pirates tend to be cutthroat.

Really like this. It reminds me of the grappling hook events from Wind Waker. Becomes impossible to not win immediately once you know about the Epic Diamond, but other than that the difficulty is good.

monaarc 2014-04-28 11:33

Sorry but when I lauch the unity player, nothing happened when i click on the game :/

stuffie 2014-04-28 14:07

Thanks guys, @ssell Yeah I was a bit inpsired by that :D, loved me some Wind Waker. @monaarc Hmm, I did experience this once during testing but thought it was fixed, seems to be a unity focus issue.

Really fun to play and nice graphics too

agreon 2014-04-28 14:46

Wow, these Graphics are very fancy. It is fun to play and reminds me on this fish-iphone game :)

tipyx 2014-04-28 14:48

Beautiful ! Maybe a little too hasardous but I have fun to play this :D. And god damn the Chest of Bananas ! X)

maek 2014-04-28 14:51

Very beautiful and the idea with the round planet is great.

celt 2014-04-28 14:52

"I spent a few grand on a $10" same for me :D
As the others said, the artwork and overall style are splendid. The grapple could use a better swinging though...

metanokid 2014-04-28 14:56

Enjoyed the entry! Its graphics are pretty nice and it's really makes you want to go deeper to get the best items :)
Not having a time limit is cool, so you can plan your moves and take the risk (or not!).

Just one thing, when the boat is facing to the right, controls (A,D) are shifted and that's counter-intuitive. Add some music, you already have nice gameplay!

At first I was like:
- TREASURE CHEST!
But then I was like:
- Wait... Bananas?!

Really sleek game.

Very polished graphics!

I got some weird glitches, when I tried to play the game. I am on a Mac, no problem with other Unity based games.

mrshortee 2014-04-28 17:05

The balancing seems weird but concept and graphics are really nice.

covenant 2014-04-28 20:04

Very nice, amazing graphics, just misses a bit of sound!

omgnoseat 2014-04-29 01:17

I wish you had more conrol over the hook, but I might be missing something since I don't use a mouse (I'm on a windows tablet). Graphics are great, really charming

superizzo 2014-04-29 13:22

Awesome visuals and great sense of humour. Just add some sound a couple more levels and you get a complete product.

colludium 2014-04-30 02:35

I really enjoyed that. More success than I've had in the arcades...

tacograveyard 2014-04-30 02:35

I had some strange visual glitches on OSX using the web client. I also managed to get the diamond on my second hook which was super lucky!!

mintarcade 2014-04-30 02:36

Very nice. Enjoyed it much. Like camera effects, very polished and atmospheric.

friken 2014-04-30 02:40

Very nice indeed! I loved this one. But yeah, that diamond!

justinmchase 2014-04-30 02:40

I really like this idea, but the cost to send the hook down seems a little out of balance with the value of the goods you bring up. But I definitely think you have the start of something good here. I like the level of blurriness for the things under the water.

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-30 02:40

Very fun! :D played 3 times great work!

lms 2014-04-30 02:45

I like the gameplay and graphics =)

gamertaters 2014-04-30 02:47

Nice looking game. Great art. Very tough. Can't help but laugh when you blow thousands only to pull up something completely worthless. Cool idea.

taocayo 2014-04-30 03:10

Funnily enough on my first play, second time using the grapple I got the diamond!. Clever use of the mechanics. The effects are quite polished and the graphics are beautiful.

The web version has artifacts on Safari + OSX 10.9.2. Luckily the native version worked just fine.

njvas 2014-04-30 05:05

Love the ability to look to the bottom of the ocean. There's something exciting about barely being able to make out what's down there.

seconddimension 2014-04-30 10:22

A very enjoyable game and nice graphics. The grapple swing doesn't seem quite right though.

pinion 2014-04-30 19:38

Loved the graphics and the rotating world. I actually won on my first dive cause I picked up the diamond :D

monaarc 2014-04-30 21:42

Good game, I finally played it :) I like so much the comments when you start the game... Very efficient game, great job !

makatak 2014-05-03 20:33

Really solid and fun game! All I'm missing is a jaunty sailing tune :)

baykush_figtree 2014-05-04 15:40

Really neat idea AND implementation! Looks good, plays nicely and consequences are fair.
I'm a great fan of well-executed camera effects, so, kudos on that.
Would work great on mobile!

matthias_zarzecki 2014-05-07 16:10

Ohh, lovely :)
