Wow, this game's really fun! It's so satisfying to get better and better rewards by diving deeper with your divers! This game is incredibly simple, but perfect for what it is. The sound effects are great and satisfying, and the whole game loop is incredibly fun. The game can be obviously be polished and improved more, like with more strategic treasure placements, or improved graphics, but as it is for now, it's perfectly good for this game jam. Great job! :D

Honestly, I'm really shocked. I typically have something to point out that could make the game better. And here? I don't really have any criticisms (other than maybe make the font from the story and controls menu smaller because it's a bit jarring when you have to scroll constantly).

The graphics are sweet, audio is on point, cool music, great progression - perfect for a game jam game. I had a blast playing it. Great job!

good job

Awesome game.  The upgrading system was very thought out, and I feel like everything was worth the purchase.  By the end I was just basically clicking a million times though, so maybe the difficulty could scale up with the upgrades somehow, like squids at the bottom that eat the divers or something.  Very fun though.  Clever ending too.

Really great game had a lot of fun with it. Completed everything except the retirement plan :)

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed the game.

The retirement plan doesn't actually require any grinding, once you have max air and the net guns you can look down and see the three mega treasures at the bottom that the net guns will be able to reach. Collecting the mega treasure allows you to afford your retirement. :D

Very fun game. It definitely fits the theme and it's really fun to see the scuba divers really gets stronger as it's get powered up. I also like the part where sound volume gets lower as it get deeper down which make me feel like I'm in bottom of the sea.

Something very peaceful and immersive about this game, very calming! I felt like I was playing on a slot machine at an amusement park at one point. Can imagine a mobile/arcadey version. great job!
