This is such a cute game! I loved the music and watercolor art style, and the controls were really interesting; I loved the ballast indicator! The momentum felt good, although it was easy to take a lot of damage when you ran into the wall haha. The submarine and the enemies are so cute, hats off to the artist!

The intro took a very long time to print; I was tempted to skip it. I was also unsure what the sand dollars did. If you updated the UI and added some interesting world decorations, I would love to play this game again!

The controls felt rather difficult and the intro could definitely be sped up, but the submarine art was cute :)

This game was very hard to control. And the music was incredibly loud. Also, perhaps the intro cutscene can display the text faster? I was sitting there for soooo long haha

I love this, really enjoyed what I played of it. I love the art and the swimming submarine. I didn't expect there to be multiple levels!

The only problem I have with it is that I keep getting the submarine stuck in corners or having to Austin Powers cart around when I swim into a dead end. Maybe a reverse throttle would have helped, even if it's a slow one.

I like the controls, but I think I would also have preferred it if they were a bit easier to reach. Maybe it's just me but it's a bit difficult to whip my mouse back and forth.
