Great game and excellent visuals. I struggled a bit to understand how to patch my submarine when it said it needed repairs but despite that I had a great time. Nice take on the theme and overall, great game.

Cool game and visuals. Not entirely sure how to find the target.

@vitor-figueredo thanks for the feedback. I tried to put a well described tutorial in the description. Feel free to check it out.

@rhoff95 sorry you could not find it. Please see the "how to play" part in the description and I hope you will find the target this time.

The art is incredible and the gameplay is intuitive! This is really really impressive for a compo game! You should be proud!

@bungalow wow! thank you so much!

Great visual and a super ambiance, but the repetive sound of the sonar was a bit boring and unpleasant.

I LOVE the sound design - it's so in time and really represents what is going on in game!

Great visuals/mechanics/audio! overall such a fun experience. The angle slider sometimes wouldn't respond (though this could be me playing with a touchpad). I was so chuffed when i found the first bomb even though I failed getting back to the surface! The tutorial was also really well made and made the game a delight to play, great job with this jam game!

Ambiance is great, I like the use of the theme, and the controls work well. Volume settings would have been good but its still a very impressive compo entry!

THis game is amazing! the art style and audio is specially incredible for the compo game! I am also very glad to have a complete and sufficient in-game tutorial and it helps me a lot. THe only disadvantage is that the process of diving is a little boring, despite I have to look after my ship. nevertheless I have nothing else to do. But overall this game is rather good. Well Done!

The style of the graphics is really cool, and I really like the sort of analogue style of the controls.

You are in the deep water and you dont know where you are. I think it is a good concept. Maybe you could add some sound effects to sticks Great job I realy enjoyed it a lot. When I saw my first target I was "YEAH THATS IT"

Really interesting take on the theme, and a nice little compo entry. That scanner noise is really loud though lol!

The sound design is great, but I didn't really understand how to play it.

I really like the "look and feel" of this game. It feels very polished.

I think I need something else to do on the way down, though, other than fixing cracks. I spent most of the game waiting to get to the right depth.

Cool idea and well executed! I really liked the simplistic graphics also!

Looks awesome, sounds great, plays pretty good too. At first I did not understand completely either, but those gifs here say everything important in an eyeblink. The in-game tutorial is not bad, but to see it in action helps a lot: the whole visual is very neat and I like it a lot, the downside of it is that it does not make obvious what is clickable or draggable.

Also struggled working with the sliders as was already mentioned, but it is a very solid submission and so far my favourite one.

I can't access the game on the Itch.io page, is this normal ?

abu-sabiq-mahdi 2021-04-28 16:22

@littlegamer thank you for informing. The issue is fixed.

I love the graphics and the gameplay, reminded me of the games by the famous Lucas Pope ! congrats on the style

Interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/9MwVPzD0l-Q
