Beautiful game! Only feedback i have is it took some time until i understood the controls but except that it was pretty solid. Well done!

You've got a great game! Here are my thoughts:

What I liked: - The game itself, a mix of Easy Delivery Co. and Dredge sounds great! - the schedule is very juicy and exciting - WAVES! and everything related to water (funnels, etc.) - the music is pleasant and meditative

What I didn't like: And suddenly there is no such thing!

What I think should be improved?: - during the passage, I hit a boom once... nothing happened (almost), I was waiting for a big explosion! - the map may be superfluous, but the radar would not be bad, I felt that it was only a miracle that I collected as much as I needed. - It seems (?) Funnels don't suck in - I would like to deliver goods somewhere!

But it's all the little things, the game is really cool! Old Ship Crane.png

Wow, this game is brutal! I haven't managed to beat it yet, but I really enjoyed it! Controlling the boat and the crane at the same time is quite a challenge, especially with those whirlpools around. Tough but fun! Great job!

Learning to operate this vessel is difficult task haha. But when I figured it out, it became very cool and interesting to conquer the sea. The visuals are beautiful, takes me back to the PS ONE days

A beautiful and very complex game

Interesting game with three game modes and great visuals. The controls are complex but very responsive, and having the control hints always visible on screen is a really helpful design choice!

Now that's a cool game, really liked it. The change between first person and vehicle is totally amazing. Many gameplay possibilites opens from physics alone, you can climb box to reach platforms, all with freezing fear for falling. One of my LD60 fav!

The guys on [r/submechanophobia](https://www.reddit.com/r/submechanophobia/) would love it! hahaha

The atmosphere of navigating that submerged, flooded city is wonderfully crafted. Dealing with the balance of salvaging forgotten objects while trying to avoid unpredictable currents sounds like a truly tense experience.

I like this style; it's quite popular right now. It looks cool, and the idea is great. Nice game, I enjoyed it!

This is an absolutely outstanding and highly atmospheric simulation! I am deeply impressed by how fast the web build loads for a 3D Unity project and how grand the scale of the sea feels — it truly makes you feel like you're out in the open ocean.

The water pixel graphics are gorgeous, and that vintage PS1-era aesthetic is captured perfectly! The sound design of the crashing waves and the meditative music make the voyage incredibly immersive. I absolutely loved the mechanics: switching between exploring the deck in first-person and taking full control of the vessel using the "F" key is a brilliant design choice. Since operating both the boat and the heavy magnetic crane simultaneously can be quite complex and brutal, having the control hints always visible on the bottom-left of the screen is a wonderful, user-friendly life-saver! Navigating the flooded streets, clearing metal, and dodging whirlpool currents feels like a premium, polished indie title.

Phenomenal work! If you have a free moment between salvaging old machines from the deep, I’d be absolutely honored if you could check out my retro-tech ASMR cleaning simulator too. Good luck with the final ratings! 🚢🏗️🌊✨

What a cool style!

As for the gameplay, I felt it lacked a tutorial and a clear goal regarding where to go.

сначала я подумал, что корабль тонет, и я выпрыгнул за борт и утонул. Потом, я начал плавать, понял как магнит опускать и подниимать, но не понял как поворачивать:(

Quite atmospheric. Right from the start you're thrown straight into the storm! It clearly calls for a tutorial given such an extensive set of mechanics.
