I could play this for hours! Really really good job. I'd seriously consider keeping working on it after the jam and releasing it if I was you. 5 stars, top game!

How does your game fit the theme?
Research and scan mutated fishes in the abyss of a radioactive sea. The deeper you dive the crazier the mutations become. But the more interesting the mutation, the higher the reward...
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
100% Code selfmade. All the assets are HANDDRAWN and scanned. The only exception is the sky and the buttons due to time (link to assets provided)

Wow. greta game. there is so much to explore. The first time I just upgraded my speed and research... but then it got really hard to get further upgrades and therefore I couldn't get too deep. Second time around I concentrated on depth and it was a completely different experience.

UtopenaI love the risk/reward factor in this: the deeper you go, youll find more fish but itll take longer to go back up for oxygen. the gameplay loop in general is really good :) but i found that the scanning beam takes a while to get to your mouse, which can get annoying after a while. Besides from that nitpick, this is a really good game for one week!

Deep DiveAmazing! You can tell the developer put a lot of love into this game, every little feature you would need in a game like this is there! and it also has a large level and lots of content even though it was made in just one week. Love it!

Scan-it PlanetMechanics were great. Impressive how much you got done in a week, especially hand drawing everything.

Houston...Woah, this was awesome! Beautiful hand drawn art with well done game mechanics. Honestly my favorite part may have been all of the various menus though. It looks like so much attention and care went into an often overlooked feature. It added a lot of production value to the game, super well done! Was the music done by you as well? It was really good, especially liked the main menu music, I just sat there for a minute listening to it. Well done on an awesome submission!

Into LeviathanI like the game and the graphics! great work! there is also a lot of mutated fish but I suggest to put indicator of the mutated, because some people don't know if its mutated or a normal haha great game

Underwater OdysseyI like the idea and the mechanics a lot! I couldn't fully figure out how to scan things? I was able to scan a starfish but anything else I scanned, nothing would happen. Very cool still!

The Blue ScreenReally well made! I liked this game a lot and can tell a lot of work went into it. Great work!

Devil's TeethAmazing game. The audio was design was amazing and genuinely was creepy when you got deep. Sadly I haven't finished it yet but I enjoyed my time playing. Also its a unique take on a roguelike sort of game overall amazing job :D

Diving...... Company HistoryReally nice game, quite polish for just few days! I just wonder, is there a glitch or something we can do while going in "the air" ? I tried to go up to see if I would fall faster and get extra speed in the water XD, really fun and quite intuitive, well done:)
