Hard to understand what scrap looks like. But from other points nice work!

Awesome game, I'm terrible at it!

Nice game. Loved all the atmospherics: water physics, 2d lighting, bubbles and fish. All of these complimented each other and game ended up looking great.

Scrap doesn't have any distinct look to it so I wasn't sure what I needed to collect. Had to randomly swim around in the water until I hit something that got picked up. (to others who might run into a similar issue - it's in the second screenshot, just on the left of the player character)

I really enjoyed the levelling up and collecting scrap. Those sharks were very mean though!

Very nice! I dont need friends to repair my scooter

No way I missed release of Subnautica 2!

cool, after a while learned how to leverage the shark's ai to stuck them in some corner, then finishing the game become very easy~

I died of hunger

Really solid core loop, definitely has the bones to keep building on if you wanted to expand on it! Repairing the ship was a great goal to build towards, and upgrading the oxygen capacity kept an enjoyable pace. Would've loved to be able to upgrade some other stats, namely something like speed/ maneuverability to try and address the sharks. Great job on this one!

Really love the art and music of the game. The core idea is really good too.

I think you should explain that you need to swim into fish to eat them to fill your hunger bar.

Sharks, but you know that already.

I think also the health regen needs to be sped up by a lot, because I spent a lot of time waiting for my health to regenerate before I could try to do anything in the water again.

But this is a genuinely good game and I had such a fun time playing it. So keep up the good work and good luck with any future games you make!

Good core idea and graphics ! I think some more balancing over the sharks and how you get items and upgrade your oxygen tank would have made the game much more interesting. But in my opinion it's still quite good :thumbsup:

Excellent, very nice and beautiful game, quite a lot of possibilities. I would like a little more detailed explanation. But what was done during the jam is amazing. Thank you for this game.

Fun game! A bit more guidance would have been helpful - what the scrap looks like for instance!

Very nice entry, I enjoyed playing it quite a bit, good job!:)

Could be a bit easier tho haha

emmatw 2025-04-21 19:22

Great entry, you managed to get a lot of content in both with visuals and mechanics! It looks really good and for the most part feels good to play, although by pressing and holding up and forward at the same time I did manage to run on the water

cherrybcake 2025-04-25 20:44

Fun little game! I love the water physics, and the shark scared me XD

wadoral 2025-04-25 21:42

Neat game, this had the perfect vibes! Gameplay was easy enough and I got immediately interested in what is in the true depths. Well done!
