Well done. Definitely a game about atmosphere. At first it didn't register with me that I was on Titan. I could see the other planetary bodies though - and immediately thought - oh cool... I'm underwater on Titan and I'm looking up out of the water at another moon, or Saturn. Great moment.

Music is excellent. Set the mood immediately. Dark, ominous, epic. And the visuals matched this. So +1 for overall mood!

Gameplay - I found 4 samples before the power ran out! The samples were hard to see until close due to the murkiness of the surrounds. That's fine but it would have been good to have some way to know in what direction I should look - a sonar could be a good addition.

Keep up the good work! :)

Great job! Took a bit to get used to realize I wasn't using my thrusters xD After I figured it out though, collected some samples and enjoyed the atmosphere!

Like the others have said, the atmosphere was great. More details like rocks or even particles in the water would help break up the visual void and sell the movement more.

Great job. simple, atmospheric and relaxing. I thought the thruster buttons required to be held down turns out they don't which made the game more relaxing. With some more work and polish this game could be very fun. Fun to drift around in the ocean. Good game.

You picked the right song/ambient. Made the alien/isolated feel of the moon even more amospheric!

I like the mood a lot. Love the planet (Juptiter surely ?) in the sky. I got kind of lost multiple times because of the lack of details in the environment/water, taht's something to think about for next time. Audio is really good. Nice work for a compo !

Great job with this atmospheric, moody game! I really liked the 3d model for the drone, very well done. The 3d movement was smooth, except I found I was moving very slowly even though I was pressing A, unless I was doing something wrong. I think the hitboxes on the collectibles were also quite small so I kept missing them even though I thought I was going right through them (mightve been going just over). But overall great job!

Cool concept! Love the Titan setting. Great ship model. I got 7 samples before running out of power. Actual gameplay seemed a bit lacking, but it's an excellent base/prototype to build on!

Great sub model. Good job on the submission

Really liked the atmosphere (literally) and the music definitley was what kept me playing! Was a little lacking in things to do, or maybe the orbs were just spaced out to far, but overall a nice experience.

It really is a cool concept. My first impression was great! I liked the interface. The setting is good and the game is beautiful. I found the controls a little confusing and maybe the submarine a little slow, but overall it is good. I also appreciate games made on different engines like godot <3

Got 7 samples. Nice mood. Thanks for the game!

Not much to do in this game, but I didn't get bored thanks to the overall great mood! The music is and graphics are really nice. Good job.

I thought this was a really awesome entry. I like the length of time you have for power to push you to complete your tasks before it runs out. Music reminded me of the last area of Borderlands 2.

Only things I could do with is maybe brightening the environment to see what was going on a lil better in the beginning as well as add some sort of illuminating factor on the ship so you know the game is working

I will say that the atmosphere is definitely the best part of the game, but the game itself is lacking in substance.

Very cool atmosphere in this game. I like this music in the background. I would consider making this submarine little bit faster and the controls could be more smooth. Besides this, great work!
