A realy great and relaxing game! some of the best graphics i have seen so far in this ludum, and the best audio i have heard. Great job!

So lovely!

Great mood and audio. I liked that the soundtrack kept changing. A nice and somber experience.

Simply beautiful, not much else to say! :) The game does what it set out to do really well. But is it just me or was there no music? Might've been just me. This is the sort of game that totally needs music and more turqoise whales.

Cheers,

@tyrants.not.found.team

Thanks for the feedback. There should definitely be music, it's a big part of the game and we spent a long time on it. Sorry you couldn't hear it and experience the game in full, what were you playing it on?

teamflare 2015-12-16 16:04

This was a wonderful experience. All the tiny details you put in and that everything moves when you come closer is so beautiful. Thank you :)

I'd classify this as a game. Caught myself playing this longer than I thought I would. Any chance this is going to be a screensaver?

A really relaxing game, enjoyed it a lot!

liquidmedia 2015-12-16 18:20

Nice graphics and cool audio

This is refreshing. I love the art. And it's relaxing (I'm in the middle of an exam week, and I really apeciate that!)
Great job ^^"

I really loved playing this, I think I discovered all the creatures in the sea! I think this could become a really educative game aswell.

Great mood in this game, really digged it. A very relaxing experience.

I played with music helmet and that was really so good music!

I loved the mood and really enjoyed playing it, I would really have loved some lights effects, to be in the dark and only see in the direction of the mouse for exemple!

Good job anyway =)

really relaxing game, I like this kind of stuff :)
graphics were nice, but the animations could be a little more polished to make the game a bit more immersive

redmassacre 2015-12-17 13:52

cute and relaxing - my kid was amazed)

webravenz 2015-12-17 17:19

beautifull ;)
I don't get the link to the theme

seconddimension 2015-12-17 17:45

@Webravenz

Thanks Webravenz. The theme we used is growing. When you swim past the plants they grow and more fish appear, the idea was the diver is regrowing the ocean and bringing it back to life.

You managed to create a very relaxing atmosphere, I wish there would have been more to explore. I especially like the music and the graphics. Awesome experience! I found a mistake on the thanks for playing page: There are too many "for".

aare 2015-12-19 01:35

It could be great but i wish there was something more to do, exploring aspect was fun but there wasn't even an option to check your discoveries, still quite nice entry

fabulis 2015-12-20 17:49

beautiful experience, great jobs

mrshoestore 2015-12-22 19:04

Great mood and art. Perfect color palette choice. Thought it could have used additional sound effects like scuba mask pressurizing and bubbles as the player goes deeper. I would have really loved if you could go inside things. Inside the shipwreck, the sub...maybe even the whale!...but I get that was probably a time thing. Sometimes there was a bunch of stuff in one area, so I wasn't exactly sure what I was discovering, but still, Very impressive.

geckoo1337 2015-12-31 14:16

Not a game, but instead it's a really pleasant experience. I like it. Cute and pretty mood. Thumbs up ++

hjalte500 2015-12-31 16:37

I really wanna say hi to that guy at the lighthouse but I cant get up there! Beautiful game would love to see a game like this with some sort of dark mystery hidden in the depths. Like the houses and gravestones. Awesome!

dregamr 2016-01-02 11:23

Pretty cool graphics. :)

stuntddude 2016-01-02 22:17

I love that a jam game uses audio in such a wonderful way! It's a very relaxing experience, one of my favorite entries I've played. My only criticism is that one of the sound effects for discovering plants (the chiptuney one) was a lot louder than the others (the chords). It could probably use to be made a little quieter and/or the chords a little louder.

archonthewizard 2016-01-03 20:20

That was quite relaxing. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Thanks!

lereveur 2016-01-03 20:58

It's more poetry than a game, but it's very relaxing and aestethic, wale er... Well done !

(why did you deactivated "humor" score, there is actually humor in that game)

This was a lovely experience. I enjoyed seeing the names popping up, even if they couldn't keep up with all my discoveries. I know it's not the point, but it would've been helpful to have some sort of visual aid to what you've already discovered, like a light fade or something (that said, i did find everything). Nice work!
