Outstanding graphics!
This game kinda broke half way through
Oh what happened Nnnnneeeedddd?
The art looks really good!
Really nice! Bugs aside, I enjoyed just swimming around, seeing how far I could get. I like the graphics, and the music was good for setting the mood. I could see this game getting some polish and being pretty good. Nice work!
There's currently a bug in the uploaded version but will be fixed in a few minutes.
That is fixed.
Felt nice. Thank you for this one.
I went to t.S.C.U.N.H.O. Loved the field trips, but couldn't stand the elitist attitude of some of the staff.
Fun game. Was confused at first as to why I was drowning when I should have had 30 seconds left, until I noticed that those things on the ceiling were bad guys. They kind of blend in with the wildlife.
Great atmosphere, too. Good job!
Really nice mood, I like the pastel colours and the ambient music. It's a bit buggy though, the game crashed when I bought some harpoons. Overall I liked it though.
The best game I have played so far. Outstanding.
Ha, I liked this game was fun
How is this game so intense? I felt is I were struggling for air when I saw that timer tick down 5..4..3..2...AIR
Sadly my finances are horrible in this game, the sound on the countdown is a really nice touch, really brings home the urgency.
Love the art!
Very cool game, but quite hard !
Really like the graphics and it was nice diving around. Played quite long upgrading things close to max I would expect.
I think it shouldn't be possible to loose by over-buying, but it be denied. However if one forgets to refill, of course. On the refill, it would have been nice if the cost to refill also went up for increased air capacity.
I never really noticed either, but the further away I hope I got more for the things I caught.
There were some places that look as if they would be trapped air, so I kind of expected to be safe there, time not ticking.
Finally, since you had a nice warning tick about running out of air. It would have been nice to have a very distinct half-ways sound as well.
Pleasant float-y times, I enjoyed swimming with my limbs. I wanted to swim forever and never return to the boat. I liked holding the mouse button to tread water and redirect, it was a nice solution to my relentless propulsion.
Amazing game! I like the atmosphere and the gameplay. It feels soooo good to exploit the sea bottom to finance your campaign against the underwater behemoth! I expected more of the final boss though. Congrats!
I really enjoyed the mood of this game and the art was awesome. Definitely nice looking as well.
The visuals are really nice and the sound fits really well. It is a hard game. The felling of swimming is also well done.
This game was neat! I like that in the first levels, the only enemy you face is your own poor time management skills (they got me a few times, LOL). Overall, an interesting, fun mechanic that was well-tuned, so great job. I wound up playing quite a few times before giving up! The graphics and audio combine to make a fun and relaxing experience, no matter how harrowing the gameplay is.
A couple of things, though--in the shop, you've got a blend of prices put on the products, and above the products. It's difficult to tell what's really going on because of this, and I feel it would probably make more sense to have them arranged by price or type rather than at random, as it seems to be now.
The other thing is that there seems to be a couple of strange bugs--I've managed to warp through a cave wall before, and one time after I bought the harpoons and indebted myself to death, the game immediately told me I'd lost upon starting the level. It seems like debt/research funding from the last game carries over to some degree if you don't close the window?
Anyway, this is awesome and I truly enjoyed myself. Thanks for the game!
Nice graphics, interesting to explore level. Cool game.
I did like diving. It was fun with the controls, the animation is nice and I drowned a lot or the bank killed me :D All in all a good game.
For other linux users to come, plz create a linux-executable as well. At least you provided an windows exe which is playable with wine (but for me without sound)
Great graphics, basic gameplay is sound, but difficulty is too harsh. Too easy to die, brutal economics at the store, makes it a lot of replay but not getting anywhere.
Nice game!
Cool gameplay!
Lovely game. The money management caught me off guard, but really like the tension there, really well done. The graphics and music were also especially sweet!
Really cool game, I enjoyed it a lot! :)
This has potential, but I think the penalty for failure is too big considering the time it takes to build up decent equipment, and then to lose everything, agh :( I think losing your funds, and possibly one upgrade, would have been plenty punishment enough.
I couldn't have won anyway though, as the harpoons didn't fire for me nine times out of ten =/
