Pretty easy, but cool concept. And I like how it looks and the light/darkness effect

The lighting and graphics are very well done. The water effect on the menu was really cool. It seemed like the fish got stuck a lot and the combination of arrow keys and mouse felt a little awkward. Cool concept - I'd love to see it expanded upon!

Nice lighting. Cool water water effect. Tried 4 times and didn't get past the top area.

The lighting doesn't seem to work for me (Firefox on Linux). All I see is a white light-beam shape on a black background.

It really fits the theme, if there were more hazards this would have been amazing!

@3lstmsinatrenchcoat thanks for tour feedback. After the compo i will aim those issues.

Nice artstyle and cool wavy effects. Big fan of Construct game engine.

The moving type face looks really nice! Is it some sort of shader?

txanevk 2021-04-27 19:15

@noel-widmer Construct2 has very nice built in effects and is quite easy to use. I think it is a great tool for prototyping.

noel-widmer 2021-04-27 19:57

@txanevk Ah I see. I've never used construct. Interesting to know :D

beautiful game, very atmospheric visuals. it's unfortunate that the audio from the repo didn't make it into the game as sound is essential for creating a tight atmosphere. If you make a post jam version including sounds, feel free to tag me and I'll check it out! :)

on another note: I got soft locked in the upper right corner of the level (see img) which ended up being a very strange situation as I was unable to move, but the fish was also unable to reach me because he apparently got stuck in a solid, so both me and the fish were just stuck, sitting still inanimately. Shortly after that I realized I could just shoot him so, to make it even stranger, the soft lock ended up gifting me a dirty, undeserved victory :Dasdf.PNG

Love the visual style and the idea of the game. Fits the theme really well too. Just wish there was more to do, but other than that I don't really have many complaints!

pattedecanaard 2021-05-01 22:09

The distortion effect is cool but maybe it's a bit hard to read the control. I like the lighting and the fish is scary. It could be nice to have some sound and music. Good job ! :)

jimbly 2021-05-02 14:01

That was neat! After a couple tries, I won! Really good atmosphere making me feel scared of what's in the dark, though a little sound would have probably gone a long way there.

jgur 2021-05-05 19:50

I really liked the menu and how it moved in the waves! Good work!

monkeybit29 2021-05-05 23:42

pretty cool game, angler fish spooked me out at first ha. the only thing is what PatteDeCanaard mentioned above, that it's a little hard to read the control, perhaps there's a way to dial down the effect a lil? aside from that nice job!

rngames 2021-05-07 00:02

✔️ The lighting effects were nice. I had to decide when was a good time to run and when was a good time to stop and look back.

✔️ Nice pixel art.

➖ The text was a bit hard to read on the title screen. Maybe tune down the wave effect a bit.

cheesepencil 2021-05-07 01:53

Neat effects! With some more time this could be really neat, but for what it is it's a good compo entry

robinfaury 2021-05-07 04:05

Great game! Super nice graphisms and ambience. I was able to kill the fish but I can escape it for a while :)

s1lv3r-dr4g0n-games 2021-05-07 04:41

Not bad! I don't have much to add that wasn't said, the water effect is neat but hard to read. The lighting effect very much limiting what you can see is a neat mechanic.

I am your 20th rating, congratulations!

txanevk 2021-05-07 06:12

20 ratings!!! Thank you all for high quality feedback. I am currently working in a post compo version that is aiming all the comments received.

quetzakol 2021-05-07 18:31

Good job. I won after shooting the fish many times, I guess that was the objective? That wasn't very clear. Too bad that there wasn't sound, it could help a lot with the mood and also to provide feedback (like knowing that the fish was touched by your bullets). The graphics are simple but nice. I like the visual effects (the water effect on the title screen and the lighting) though they are a bit too heavy.

txanevk 2021-05-19 09:30

Hello, I have a new version uploaded, if you wanna try.

Thank you all again!

Wow, this game sounds like a lot of fun! As a diver, exploring the deep ocean and discovering unknown creatures and treasures is always exciting. I love that you've added music and sound effects in the post-compo version. It really adds to the immersive experience. The improved collision detection and new enemies sound like they make the game even more challenging. The simplified controls are also a great addition, especially for mobile players. Have you checked out Mostbet Aviator Online Game? It's another excellent aviator game, and you can check it out here: https://mostbetbtdapp.com/aviator-game/. Happy diving!

Very cool game, I like that.
