Ranked from 8 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You are literally diving deeper into the ocean. The goal of the game is to dive as deep as possible with all the encounters you will run into.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The sound effects are well made from https://coloralpha.itch.io/50-menu-interface-sfx, and the framework to make the game was Raylib.

Besides that, the rest of the content was programmed in C++, drawn with Krita, and composed in FL Studio by me

Nice game!

I wish each session can be made shorter, as I feel like it is taking way too long to get enough money to upgrade once the upgrade levels are high enough

The ocean feels empty, especially considering there are encounters. Having something to show during encounters will make the game a lot more interesting

 Not a bad game, but could use a lot of improvement

Not a bad game! I'm not a huge fan of text games, but I liked it

Nice game, I like the fact that you can improve your submarine. However, I didn't understand what the resistance was for? I saw that some animals damaged it, but I didn't see the impact.

thank you for playing my game! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I guess I expected people to read the game page, but resistance was supposed to allow you to dive deeper. Initially your ship can travel 1km deep, but if your resistance, it allows you to travel deeper. (+1km/level) I wish I had time to make a proper how to play screen, but thank you for the information!

Oh yes, I hadn't really read the game sheet!

For one week, the game has some very nice text to it. The art is simple which I like as well. I was surprised that I got a lot of money in one trip but it would be nice if I knew how I got the money (eg. from fishing any aquatic animals passed).

Great job on the game!

It took me a while to realize it was a textgame and that i manually had to come up to get upgrades! But other than that a very nice text game! (the submarine in the middle was a little distracting it took me a while to see the text at the bottom) Otherwise awesome game tho especially for one week! hope you keep at it!

Thank you for trying my game, and the feedback! I wasn't sure how to indicate that the text was at the bottom, but I'm glad that it is mentioned as I hope to make a post jam update with the fixes mentioned by you guys! either way, I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
