Till now
Pretty nice game, like the visuals
The game is quite fun. A little hard perhaps but that's just me :)
It was surprisingly more challenging to spear fish than I anticipated! I enjoyed it! I made it pretty deep before dying!
Nice simple but fun game! The lighting is a nice subtle touch.
It was challenging to control your movement and with having limited time to capitalize on attacking the core gameplay became fun. I loved the leaderboard addition at the end, made me want to try again a few times.
Really great stuff! I was impressed by how fun the game was to play; the movement was spot-on.
The addition of the game getting darker as you get deeper was a well-needed touch to make the game more interesting and difficult. The leaderboard was a good touch to keep me playing for more than one round as well.
One thing I would add is some sort of feedback to let the player know that they are taking damage. For instance, I couldn't quite tell if the fish were close enough to hit me or not, or if the rocks did any damage at all.
Overall, I think you did a great job making a difficult, but fair challenge.
Thanks for your feelback @gomega. I've pushed a small change to flash the player when you take damage.
Wow I really love what you did with the theme. The glowing fish and everything slowly getting darker was an awesome effect. The leader board was a great touch too.
It was more fun than expected! Great jam, love the graphics. Interesting mechanics.
Cool game! At first I thought it will be very easy to shoot the fishes, but it's actually harder to hit them than I expected :D
Starts to get hard once you get more fish chasing you
Great game, the graphics look good and the gameplay is very engaging and fun. The level of difficulty makes me want to try again and get a higher score, which is great.
I would have liked a bit of background music and maybe shooting sounds, but a great game nevertheless.
Good job.
Nice visual style. The art was pretty good, and I really liked the flashlight effect. Also a fun idea to have previous players appear in-game and not only on the leaderboard! For some reason I can't fully explain, it felt somewhat more difficult than it should have to harpoon big groups of fish. They tended to get bunched up easily but I could never get more than a few at once; I don't know if there was a limit?
Great stuff! Your game is one of the few I played where you took the theme quite literally and made something interesting and challenging with it. :)
The spearfishing was not easy, but satisfying. There were some points in the game where I had nearly cleared the screen of fish, but then more (and bigger) fish came and made my life stressful again. The gradual descent with rising darkness was a great style.
The only thing I was missing was any sound - the mood in your game was top notch, that would have brought it to perfect.
