I had a lot of fun !

The controls were intuitive, the art style is nice and clear, the sounds give nice feedback. The progression was well balanced, and I loved that the game has an ending.

Good job all around 🐠

I liked this game. Good game. I liked the idea. I liked that I can improve the bathyscaphe. I liked the enemies. The appearance and attack of the shark came as a surprise.

Great job.

Nice! I liked how it is getting darker when you go deeper and deeper. I passed the game from the third attempt.

vuvuzela80 2021-04-27 10:40

I like the art, cool gameplay, perfet HUD and i like the progression througt the Abyss!

May be some improve : - I prefer to play in a broswer instead of download a game. - Explication in the game ( I play without read the instruction :( ) - Add beginning menu

y4nnick 2021-04-27 10:45

@vuvuzela80 Thanks for you feedback! We are currently trying to host the game on a webpage, not so easy with monogames :(. There was sadly no time left to add the instructions in the game, sorry for that, same applies to a beginning menu.

y4nnick 2021-04-27 10:47

@doot Thanks for the kind words :).

y4nnick 2021-04-27 10:48

@xpycm Yeah, this realy sets the mood IMHO :). Good job on finishing it on the third attempt!

y4nnick 2021-04-27 10:50

@yuri-yakovlev Kudos go to my partner @shadow30 for the pixel art of the enemies! Turned out pretty nice!

bhaa-su 2021-04-27 12:40

good game. You are showing an important topic for discussion) P.S. When I search pause button and press "P" - I won O_O

bigtvz 2021-04-27 12:47

Really great job! great looking graphics with a simple enjoyable game loop. even has some social commentary with the pollution angle. love it and i'm coming back to this one.

shadow30 2021-04-27 12:52

@bhaa-su oh ups we forgot to remove it. It was there for testing purpose :smile: Thank you for your feedback

@bigtvz I am glad you enjoyed it :smiley:

stejkrobot 2021-04-27 13:15

I like this! Simple and fun, what more do you need? The alarm scared the shit out of me tho so im gonna have to give you a 0/10

wetburritosupreme 2021-04-27 18:58

Great art! Ambience was well done, and clear objectives made for a great game! Thanks!

bunchanurds 2021-04-27 19:01

Wow this is extremely well done! It had a really nice sense of progression, the art style and sound design were great, it kept me hooked. A little intro and outro screen would've been nice though!

aofekiko 2021-04-27 19:10

Well done! Fantastic HUD and it was fun getting all the upgrades, and slowly exploring the ocean, couldn't find the last fish though :(

shadow30 2021-04-27 19:17

@stejkrobot sorry to here that. I hope you enjoyed it nevertheless

@wetburritosupreme @bunchanurds Thank you for the kind words! We had an end sequence in mind, but unfortunately we had to cut it

@aofekiko For the last fish you need to look at the bottom of the ocean :wink:

aofekiko 2021-04-27 20:27

@shadow30 In that case I did find it but it was un-scannable :thinking:

shadow30 2021-04-27 20:33

@aofekiko Maybe a bug. We will look into it. Thank you!

devez 2021-04-27 20:52

Loved it, I wanted to play more :smiley: . I did not expect that I was gonna be booping sharks when I started this lol.

nahuelito 2021-04-28 00:49

Well done! I had a good time playing this, it looks nice and comfy. Some music would be nice, but to be honest the soundscape is good even without it.

msnider 2021-04-28 02:29

The grappling hook mechanic is very satisfying! There's a good amount of trash to collect too, which was fun! Good work!

jlmast 2021-04-28 10:45

Very fun game! Thank you :) PS: I need a Grab-o-tron in my life

nicholassoen 2021-04-28 10:53

Fun game. Love the way the sharks gets unconscious :)

dest-69 2021-04-28 11:34

I completely completed the game, only I could not find the last fish, the game is very clean and atmospheric, going deeper the first time is really scary. Controls and gameplay are simple and straightforward. Good impressions from the game, it's a pity that there are no sounds. Overall a good job!

y4nnick 2021-04-28 12:12

@dest-69 Thanks for the kind words :). The last "fish" is only crawling on the bottom of the ocean, but maybe there is also a bug which makes them move ouf of the map, we are still investigating there.

Actually there are sounds. Maybe you need to check your audiosettings on your device? Or do you mean general background music?

dest-69 2021-04-28 13:02

@y4nnick i mean music, sounds with underwater effects, sounds fish, eth. but this is all more nitpicking)

y4nnick 2021-04-28 13:06

@dest-69 a ok. yeah we didn't hat the time to find a good fitting music :/.

evilsock 2021-04-28 16:18

Excellent game! Very relaxing gameplay, and nice fish animation! Unfortunately, It isn't cool that pause is absent. I've almost completed, when press esc=( But Luckily, I had to play two times and all times was fun. Also your game is great realization ecological theme! Thnx for your work=) Sharks are perfect!

testudor 2021-04-28 17:08

Really cool game! The face masks as trash in the sea are a nice touch :)

tryston 2021-04-28 17:13

Loved it! felt polished and everything fit well together. Sadly couldn't find the last fish (and I did look at the bottom all the way) but that could've just been me, maybe make it glow a little if it's really small? Only improvement would be to add some more water sounds or ambient sound.

lesinvisible 2021-04-30 20:35

Very nice art presentation and polished gameplay! Liked the overall feel of the deep waters.

danyvk 2021-05-02 16:18

the art =D. good game

marcmagus 2021-05-02 17:43

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for playtesting! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1008703890

invixel 2021-05-06 11:44

Well polished and fun game. The ambient sounds were very appropriate for the mood.

If i could improve one thing, it would be to communicate better what happens with the sharks, because i still don't know what happens when they bite (perhaps that part isn't implemented yet which is totally understandable considering the overall scope of the game)

untitled-studios 2021-05-13 15:08

Pretty, moody, and fun. Kept me very engaged all the way through!

lisichka 2021-05-14 12:36

I like that this game. it's fun

denzil-gomes 2021-05-17 10:00

Hey, for some reason this isn't opening on my system. Running windows 10. I tried both v1 and 1.1. just never opens when I click on the .exe
