Best looking game I've seen so far. I didn't realize I had to left click to collect the orbs before reaching the end unfortunately, so had to do it in two tries. Very good!

Pretty nice overall but i think you forgot to mention that c is down and space is up ;P
The turning is a bit slow for me, and I was only ever able to find the pink artifact, but still very cool!
Well done! This is very cool. Nice voiceOvers and very challenging. I crashed way to often but this is the thrill of the game. have a good time !!!
Fun game man!! Liked the first jumpscare from the giant eels- made me claustrophobic.
@yohadams yeeah I forgot they did that, I stopped using them during development 😅
Nice concept, good execution
Good idea, but it would be better with more FOV, it feels little bit restricted, but anyways, good job
Ooh my brain can't handle the controls sadly :o I think it is me, because in theory they are pretty well layedout. I had fun though! I managed to find a pink orb and I was very satisfied when I could pick it up! First I thought one of those glowing stalagmites was the objective, took me a while before finding the pink orb
Graphics and sound effects are awesome, well done!
I was a bit confused by the green warning light (at least, I'm pretty sure that's what it was). Like Wouter, I thought at first that meant there was a collectible, and ended up taking a lot of damage just while figuring out the controls and lights. I guess I probably should have restarted right then, because I ended up dying to heat damage later.
Still, a lot of content for a compo game, well done!
(Also, this isn't really feedback on the game per say, but I've noticed this jam that several of the games I've played you either can't die or the game/level is short enough that restarting costs nothing. I'm going to try to do this more in future, and I would have appreciated something like that here, if I could have kept playing on after breaking the ship, just to see the end of the game for the sake of the jam (I'm going to go back and try again because I think it's good enough, but on some games if I die part way through I just quit). Just something to consider!)
@oter thays a good idea I’ll start adding a cheat menu with some toggle able things to make the games easier and quicker
the digital input on what feels like it should be an analogue game really threw me, but I pressed on and enjoyed this. Lovely audio work too! :)
Hey, this is pretty cool game and made me feel a bit claustrophobic quickly. I agree that the warning light was a bit confusing and some threats were hard to see even when they damaged you (like the eels striking you, I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late). The controls were quite fun though, while they seemed unintuitive at first I quickly got into it. I would consider moving one of the artifacts/collectibles further to the start of the game, as I was getting increasingly confused if I had missed something and tried to pick up one of the glowing stalagmites. Overall, I enjoyed the experience
Used both my accs to help you with ratings.
A solid entry, navigating the labyrinth was pretty difficult, but controls are working smooth enough and good that the warning tells when you're about to hit something.
Well done!
Nice sounds :)
Good entry, i like this submarine feeling.
Very cool game! I like the voice acting and sound effects, really adds to the atmosphere.
I found a glowing purple object, but when I tried to move towards it to pick it up I took heat damage and died :(
Was this object something that I was supposed to avoid? Or was this indeed the prize but there was some other heat source that I needed to avoid as I approached it?

You captured the mood pretty well, where I have to be very careful as I explore unknown territory looking for relics.
I like that there was some voice acting at the start, would have been kind of cool if there were a few more lines later like the first time I crash or the first time I spot a glowing purple object.
I found Q and E rotation to be not as useful as the other buttons, though still occasionally helpful when I am trying to make a tight turn near some obstacles.
