I loved that you can go up and fly right into space :joy:
Very nice compo game, the movement mechanic is original and it felt great to play. Maybe the economic aspect could be balanced a bit, I felt that I had too much money too fast, and it made the game pretty easy. Enjoyed it anyway =)
Nice keyart too
Overall, well done!
At first, I thought it would be just another game about diving... but I was so wrong! Very neat idea with the controls. As someone who gets dizzy easily, it feels very convenient. Great little game!:)
Very cool idea how to keep depths (even two of them) and also with having more degrees of view! I rushed a bit too much and carried dead body, but guess just need some more practice to beat game.
This is a really cool concept, I really love the movement and screen flipping. Some sounds would've gone a long way, but still enjoyed the gameplay. Also very funny that you can fly off into space and die.
Hi! The game is very interesting. After the first look I've expected gameplay to be something like Feed the Deep, but I didn't expect the turn based mechanic and was surprised how well it worked. It made me feel more like a strategy game which is quite an novel for such underwater setting in my opinion. Hexagonal map is also made the decisions more interesting and moment-to-moment gameplay more fun.
Hey! It was a game with a very addictive gameplay. Nice job! :thumbsup_tone1:
Cool concept, loved the hex grid and procedurally generated depths!
It's a bit disorienting to have the camera rotate with the player (but i can understand it's intended) and being able to keep pressing the move key to advance would make the gameplay smoother. Also the art on the cover looks incredible and i feel like it's a shame the game itself doesn't really follow the artstyle (would love it if the in-game player sprite would be the one from the cover).
Overall a cool entry!
Very cool concept!! I got lost and lost a couple of divers somewhere, which once again proves that I can't be trusted with rescue operations...
I liked it! The divers who died because of me are probably not as delighted, but we can't ask them anymore
I really like this. I also laughed at the idea of rescuing someone who is like "Here is $200!" :D Great entry
the ui may be a lil messy but i liked it!, good entry good job!
There were a lot of fun mechanics here. Some issues I ran into while playing: - When I die I lose all of my oxygen cylinders, which is enough of a handicap that I would just give up when that happened and refresh the page to start over - Moving long distances requires a lot of button mashing which is a bit unpleasant on my fingers - When I've lost all my cylinders on death, the shop disallows me from restocking, even if I have the money for it. - At some point the "compass" arrow broke and started pointing in the completely wrong direction, forcing me to restart. - If your oxygen is almost out by the time you hit a cave, the cave won't refill your oxygen - Buying one rope gives you infinite rope. If this is intentional, then it's not clear why I'm allowed to buy multiple ropes in the first place.
I love EVERYTHING about this game) The navigation is genuinely challenging and demanding, but not in an annoying way. Hexagons are bestagons! And in general it plays like a great complete game, that we could not always achieve in a jam format, that you did in compo!
Great fun! Played for way longer than I expected to, really nice mechanics (some balance issues / bugs). Thanks for making!
This game looks interesting, but I'm not sure what to do with the source code download. You should mention how to play in the description or add a web or other build.
Very fun game! All that turning sure left me dizzy!
Nice Entry with an interesting Input system! I did like the input system and the resulting "dizzyness" of it. The way that you get lost in the cave in the lower area was a nice touch. The items were a good addtion to the game and helped to find a way back home.
Very fun making the movement disorientating. I've lost many divers because I forgot to give them oxygen bottles.
Great job!
