Very Cozy, soothing game - I enjoyed floating around taking photos - however for me the photos did not seem to save, and the PokeDex/Catalog of creatues did not seem to update - I love the concept, nice work 1

The music is soothing, and the concept is fun. Unfortunately, you can see the end of the map in camera mode.
Nice looking game! Could you activate the fullscreen mode on itch.io?
Second time I saw a jelly I didn't take a photo but I should, i saw after there were multiples on the album. Mood is awesome, art and music fit well together. I really love the graphics, espacially when you're at the top the background is so beautiful, could be a wallpaper. I think cam mode should not move the player and stick to the player view, we can move only with cam mode on. Also sometimes the player get stucked and is not centered anymore.
PS: I can't find the last SeaHorse :spy:
Super chill vibe, its a big thumbs up from me. Good job!
The underwater theme is so eye catching,and it's interesting to collect the photos of the sea creatures (I like that concept like collecting stuffs and make it into full album). Really impressive!
Beautiful game! I loved the music and the relaxing pace. Pretty sure I got the photo album bug, because I took tons of purple jellyfish pictures, but it never got added to my collection. I even started the game a second time, but still had the same issue. Regardless, I had fun!

Were the fish placed randomly, or did you hand-place them? I went to the sea floor to find crabs, since I figured they would be walking around on the ground, and I found a bunch of them. It was cool being able to reason out where I would be able to find the fish.
Great work!
I really love the marine theme, atmospheric and cute
This brought back a lot of good Pokemon Snap memories for me! I liked the album element, to see every creature you've already photographed. Great job!
I liked the music and the overall atmosphere of the game, but I didn't really like the camera, which works strangely and sometimes the camera flies away from the character when he gets stuck in the wall and you can spam photos by pressing the button. The critical mistake is that during the first passage, I found a second jellyfish, but its photos were not read out.
Loved the chill vibes! The underwater theme, music, and art fit together perfectly. It was so fun floating around, taking pictures of sea creatures. Really great concept. Gj!
Oh, this game is very chill, i really like that! I love being able to collect photos in games to fill a codex or museum, so I had a lot of fun here. I only spotted one little bug: I photographed the last jellyfish I was missing (the purple jellyfish) over and over again, but it never wanted to slip into my photo album! Thanks for this bubble of tranquillity :)
Nice game :) I enjoyed going around and taking pictures. The music makes it very relaxing. I could not get pictures of all sea creatures since taking pictures of the purple jellyfish did not seem to work (I tried on two different ones). Other than that, it's a very nice entry!
cool concept! you could for sure continue to build on this concept and create something cool! the vibes where 5/5, just needs a little more polish!
What a lovely game! The music choice fit perfectly with the mood. I found it quite relaxing after trying out other fast paced games. Well done! Would love to see more of this, maybe with a bigger and diverse map/ more variety of fish. :)
Hey guys thank you for all of the kind comments! We worked really hard on this game and love how it turned out, I'm glad the reviews are so positive!

Nice relaxing game (I really needed it)! I like how you can take pictures of literally anything...😄Screenshot 2024-10-12 at 7.32.07 PM.png
Such a cool experience! well done loved the vibe!
Nice take on the theme! I like the chill art and mood as well. Its very calming. Whenever a game puts me in water I expect there to be sharks and monsters and stuff, so this was a pleasant surprise :)
Great work!
I liked the music and the beautiful drawings of the creatures a lot. Zooming in on the graphics is really worth it! I also like that you found a nice and peaceful mechanic. That's a great thing when so many games would rather go the dave the diver route here where you'd kill the fish instead.
It's a little bit odd that you don't really move as the diver and can just move your screen anywhere, including through walls. In that case: why even include a diver character?
I also had the bug that the purple jellyfish didn't register.
There was a thing that happened where almost all the animals seemed to converge at one point in the map more and more over time.
i loved the music, set a really nice atmosphere. i had mild issues with the diver's movements, but in terms of everything else, the gameplay was quite enjoyable! good job!
I really liked the ambient and the marine creatures' art! I think i got the same bug as @andrewkennedy , and noticed that there aren't camera limits. Although, this made me think that the idea of being a tiny figure of an aquarium would also be fun.
