Super cute, realistically slippery controls. Make a few more of these and if you actually have debt it will surely disappear!

I've played to night 5. Reached the goal but still got killed by bombs. I think the bombs are the most interesting elements of the game. Maybe you should introduce more items/mechanics in higher levels?

Very nice graphics and smooth controls. Good balance between risk and reward of diving deep. I enjoyed it!

Very fun game, nice progression. Wish there was some music! The story adds some fun context and a clever take on the theme. Polish it up some more and it would make a good mobile game.

Nice graphics, and cool game

Very nice one! The controls work well, the polish is there, the mechanics had surprising depth - the risk/reward aspect of the mines are a really nice touch. Not sure if new mechanics after the mines?

Great job! :)

Hey, I really liked this game, the physics were really smooth and the graphics were nice. Good Job!

Felt a bit lost in the open sea. I liked the underwater feel, but those coins. Why coins!?

Drowning in Debt... ...well now there's a character we can all relate to. Sadly, I don't own a sub! :< Overall good game, would love to see a more complex version with music and such later!

Loveley game.
I would have liked the controlls to be more precise and not so much drag, but otherwise that was a very soothing atmosphere. So, perhaps it worked just as it should. :)

Interesting game. Realatable character and pretty nice visuals.

Beautiful

I liked the game, nice visuals and nice idea. I didn't get to far but it did seem a little to easy, especially the mines giving coins.

Charming! I really enjoyed this. Could become fantastic if expanded upon!

Nice game, simple gameplay and cute graphics.

Nice graphics and good mechanics.
I lost interest after the 11th night though, as it just felt like I was just doing the same thing.
The abrupt ending of the days also meant there was little point in managing your air as you can just hit a few mines to get loads of cash really quickly.

Great job of polish. I felt like there wasn't a lot of progression from one night to the next (I stopped at night 11), but the mechanic was fun. I wanted to explore deeper, but it seemed almost impossible to get any further than where it starts getting dark since I would inevitably have enough money by that point.

Nice looking game! Like you said, could use more variety to keep it interesting, but great for a jam.

The game feels solid, although the controls feel a little floaty, I think it's a good start but it needs something to engage the player, draw them in ya' know?

blazingfanfish 2014-05-15 04:32

The game is good. Might add more mechanics to make it more interesting. Great job! :)
