nice game

Could be nice to have some feedback from the oxygen tank since this is definitly the most important thing to be aware of.

Game was fun to play but it was hard to see the whole game with the window size chosen. It felt like I died for no reason not seeing well enough to know what was happening.

Funny stuff))

vey fun, issue with the terrain generation on the left that just lets you get materials

Very addictive! I did play a lot of Motherload back then, and this scratches the same itch. Graphics are very basic but serviceable, and the gameplay loop is nice, but you need a final goal (unless I failed to reach it and didn't notice). Oxygen takes too long to recover after a couple upgrades, and I could use a counter for how many of each upgrade I've already bought.

Nice game. It was fun to play! The submarine controls are good as well as the grapple.

But it was stuttering during ascent and descent when passing somekind of border which made it hard to not collide against the rocks.

The pearls at the bottom are worth a lot! They were really profitable to get.

I like music transition in your game. I had good time playing. Simple, relaxing game

Fun game, I had issues where sometimes the hook just wouldn't happen for a little bit. interesting terrain generation would be interested to know how you approached it even with it's broken state

this is a cool feeling game and its a lot of fun, agree with some of the other comments but even still I managed to have fun with it

Great (if obvious) use of theme, and in spite of having a simple set of mechanics, was a lot of fun to play! Overall, this was a charming little gameplay loop. I expected to get bored of it quickly, but I never did!

I did find a way to "cheat" a little bit to collect items faster than the grabber is supposed to, and I experienced many of the same issues as others have reported, but it never bothered or frustrated me.

Fun game, the sound and graphics are really great i really like the procedural world generation even with its slight issues

Nice game, good submission!

As some feedback, try to make the UI bigger (looks like it's not scaling properly) and maybe adding some pulsing effects to show important information (like when you're running out of oxygen).

Nice game. However, the upgrades were quite unbalanced. After a few upgrades only using the first mineral, I was able to gather the most valuable mineral and then spam upgrades. I think it would have been nice, if the price of the upgrades increased after you bought one. Also, I did not find anywhere, which upgrades I already bought how many times.
