I loved the aesthetic of this! Its such a simple but well executed idea! The audio and graphics fit the vibe so well! I wasn't sure what to do when I got to the bottom where it teaches you how to launch lights maybe there wasn't anymore after that but still good job!

@geniye there is definitely more to see, there is a hole on the roof where you can throw a light to open the "door"

Thanks for the the feedback, glade you liked it

This was an amazing game, made it all the way to the end. Reminded me a lot about Eden by Pixeljunk

Being nitpicky the one thing I would improve are the controls, they felt to complex for the action they were doing.

Try and review 20 games, I think you can get a high score. But need 20 reviews.

Very cool atmosphere! And great graphic style)

simple and beautiful, the controls where nice and the gameplay was good too. I think this game has a lot of potential to be something greater.

Really beautiful art style, and amazing lighting!

Amazing Atmosphere! Thank you :) Light and Sound super nice. The length was good given this Competition and so many games, but I would have liked to play more. Issues: Sound can stack and distort, on the gamepad I can press all four buttons at the same time, giving me more light.. It feels a bit like cheating. Only one should be allowed to be active at a time! :)

Very pretty game, it's very gratifying to turn on a light and have it show the way forward. Loved the mood.

I had a great time playing this game. Instant immersion in the world. Being alone, exploring the abyss, going into the unknown. I felt I was really going in an adventure. A sense of dangers and risk but still the will to push forward. The oppressive darkness around me and the relief of finding light sources. The progression felt really natural. Really clever game design and mechanics. You nailed so many thing with this game. Awesome!

Thank you for this moment.

This is the best game I have played so far, I wish I was so good with the audio. It reminded me a bit of Limbo

The mood of this game with the sounds, the graphics are amazingly great! :v: I had a real peaceful swim with plenty of fun reaching the bottom of the sea. Amazing game, thank you and Congratulations :smile:

Gorgeous aesthetics! The ambient music and the lighting / particles make for a very pretty and captivating experience. Looks absolutely great. I'm not too sure what I was actually doing, but it was a cool experience nonetheless :grin:

becher 2021-04-28 14:58

Realy unique experience! congrat ;)

frostfall 2021-04-28 15:21

Really Really impressive. A wonderful concept with a lot a polish. First game i've given all five stars. It looks and sounds really nice, and the overall concept is really clever. You could even get real spooky with it. Well done!

foursay 2021-04-28 16:02

This game is Amazing! the art style and the audio really makes the gameplay spenlendid! I really enjoy exploring with the light ball and the shader looks pretty nice for this game's mood. Absolutely unique and great experience! Nice Job!

nicso 2021-04-28 19:34

thank you everyone for the kind comments :heart:

Je savais pas non plus que tu faisais des jeux, et je dois dire que celui là est absolument magnifique. L'ambiance sonore et générale, la DA couplée au jeu de lumière, c'est sompteux. La navigation subaquatique est ultra bien rendue, fluide et maniable, bref, un grand bravo!

viperux 2021-04-29 18:20

Well, nice work with that graphic. The mood reminded me the game Journey. I liked a lot exploring those dark underwater world :-)

Awesome game, one of the best submissions I have encountered so far. The mood, visual style and sound design were superb. I liked the innovative gameplay.

One thing which I think could be enhanced is the controls: Using gamepad was pretty good, but keyboard controls seem to me little hard to get used to so i think i could be little more fluid (for example i kept on trying to fire the balls by holding space and pressing arrows, but maybe its just my problem)

Great work!!!

One of the best game in this LD! I had an amazing meditative experience! It's a shame that the game doesn't have an interesting targets to explore. However I rate this game highly!

Without a doubt the best "deep sea lighting" game I've played so far. The marine snow particles are a great touch and the audio is perfect as well.

jose-bonilla 2021-05-17 22:16

This is a gorgeous experience, the graphics and mood earn top marks. Beautiful, beautiful game. I felt it just a tad slow and I think increasing this just a little bit would improve the overall game experience even more. Congrats, especially for compo!

nectanebo 2021-05-19 01:38

WOW! I really dont have much to say. I feel like our games are some kind of lost siblings, your aesthetic is way better though! Really really love the lighting, you surely deserve to be first at graphics! You're great, keep it going!
