Great game with great artwork, controls are smooth so as the animations. Upgrades are legit and have there meaning. Your game is similar to mine. Overall a great entry for the jam .

So fun. Like the game alot. I would love to see this with better art syle maybe a weirder one. Great Job tho i love it.
@devga-me @craplex Thank you so much for your feedback! We are glad you liked the game!
The atmosphere of the game is really accomplished. Going deep in to the ocean felt a bit claustrophobic and i think thats a good thing. Nice game overall, only lacking a bit on the art style.
I really liked the atmosphere of exploring in the deepest layer. The ocean getting darker and eventually only being lit up but your pointer and the fish was really cool!
@re-lo @kiwi1281 Thank you for your feedback and playing our game! We really appreciate it!
Nice game! Looks good, feels good
Hey, really moody audio, it fits the setting really well, and helps on the feeling of being isolated deep down somewhere.
The art style is simple but cute and the way it alternateds between dark and darker also really cool.
I missed the tutorial first time around (I was probably just assuming "Info" was credits or something), so on my first playthrough, I didn't understand that I was supposed to go up again, so I just swam all the way to the bottom, then died of suffocation.
It would probably be a good idea to either just always display the tutorial after clicking the start button, or ideally if you have the text in-game and make people do one simple iteration of collecting treasure and buying upgrades before they are allowed deeper down.
In any case, as I said I really liked the mood on this one, good job!
@offworlddemon @johanhelsing Thank you for your feedback! As for the tutorial, you are right. It would've been better if the info was right after clicking the play button or if there was at least some kind of tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed!
Overall a wellrounded experience. I searched for the bottom of the sea, but it seemed like there were no treasures but lamp fishes. It was a pretty cute and fun game. Personally I disliked the graphics of trees a bit, there was sure some potential left. Pretty cool were the dark parts, where you're not able to always get to the top again, there I actually felt some danger to don't come back to the ship alive. But I made it.
Very nice little game, I really enjoyed the calm music and the atmosphere. I must admit that I was a little be scared during the changing zones, but everything else was really relaxing. Good job ! :)
The mechanic with having the cursor as the light source at deeper parts of the ocean feels really good, it makes finding the treasures a lot of fun! I do think that the completely black parts of the ocean feel a bit unneccessary, I found myself stuck in there a few times and couldn't see that I was stuck. Good job on finishing the game! :smiley:
Nice atmosphere and a sizable area to explore, good job!
@killua @erilhir @rendow @inappropriatename Than you so much for your feedback! It truly means a lot to us. Glad to hear you liked the atmosphere of the game!
It was interesting to know what was on the bottom, and the game itself was made atmospheric. It was interesting, thanks!
Loved it. I think it looks great and plays great overall. I think music fit really well too! I ran into some bugs though - one was that there was a random collider in the water and the other was that ruby necklace and some coins were inside the ground so I couldn't pick them up. Also, I think the item pick up sound could be a bit quieter as it kept taking me out of the relaxing mood created by the background music.
