Very pretty, I liked the calming atmosphere, especially the framing of 'surfacing' at the end of a run instead of drowning or something like that. I feel like the gameplay could get a bit repetitive, but I always like a good upgrade shop. I wonder if shortening each round or adding more coins to let people experience the upgrades more frequently would be an improvement? Great work!
I haven't even finished it yet and this is already the funniest game I've played in a while.
Edit: Ok I've finished it now, this was such an incredibly charming and creative game. Definitely my favourite so far!
Pretty cool, finally beat the boss! I died a lot since it was really hard to avoid taking a ton of damage from the robot guys (and without any regenerating health), and shooting the drone was pretty tough. But the general gameplay was pretty fun and I loved the art and theming. The box running away was a very funny surprise!
Felt very polished, I liked the style and maneuvering the ship. It feels a bit heavy but I think that's a realistic take on it, and trying to hover slowly down is fun. Nice sense of discovery when the jellies started popping up. I don't know if there's anything new below 1000m, but even if there isn't the atmosphere is strong enough to have me believe there's a whole world down there! I like how you keep bouncing around for a while once you run out of fuel, I was always hoping I would miraculously stumble into a fuel pod and get a free life.
Nice and chill!
Very solid, it felt polished and I liked the narrative and vibe. I didn't feel much of an incentive to go out of my way to grab fish while I was playing, but I still got enough to have a nice aquarium at the end anyway! The ship felt a little clumsy to control, but I wouldn't expect a submarine to be the most nimble vehicle and I loved the weighty feeling of dragging the bigger objects. Great game start to finish!
Not bad! The jumping motion felt surprisingly good and I liked how the art direction was able to create a real atmosphere.
top tier on every metric
I sure have personality!
you have carried the field of game design forward by 50 years. this is my favourite of.
a bit unforgiving but incredibly charming!
I love the graphics and mood, makes everything feel super polished
I like the atmosphere! chilling with all my friends staring at a cube
i've always wanted a game where i could pick up the queen's dishes and smash them into the floor, never breaking eye contact
All the art is so creative and pretty! What a solid game
beautiful, I like the chonky dog
So incredibly charming! I like to think real sailing is just as unstable.
Love the art and mood!
So wobbly in both body and soul!
Pretty solid! Movement was a little slow but I like when the slime went schlorp
Spooky!
Very pretty! I think this is exactly what would happen if I go out photographing.
