Cool artstyle and idea, the controls feel nice and the sounds are immersive.

I think that having more stuff to do would make the idea a little bit more interesting, to have some sort of sit and survive vibe while you try to get deeper.

The concept would be great as a base for a horror game.

Loved the art style! Understanding the controls was a bit hard but nothing impossible.

Cool game, great settings, love the minimalistic modern look. But gameplay was a bit hard to understand but got through it haha so it's ok :D

Thanks for the feedback. You are right, that's my biggest mistake, the gameplay should be introduced step by step, i'll change it after the jam.

This looks really cool, i also like the whole ambience and it's a perfect fit for the theme. 

Just unfortunately do not really get, what to do tbh. Read the tutorial and played around for a while. I can move the ship, collide with others and start this repairing process etc, but somehow don't get any progress or similar...

As an improvement suggestion: Maybe you could introduce the controls step by step during the gameplay or so?

I tried multiple times and read the tutorial, but I did not get the ship to move unfortunately. Looks really promising though!

It's a bit difficult to understand everything at once, but after getting the hang of it, it became quite enjoyable and challenging. Maybe an improved tutorial would help!

Would love to review this game but I'd need a ZIP / I'm unable to download for some reason :D

this was really fun once you understood all of the controls! stressful, but in a addictive way!

It's like Iron Lung, but goofy. I Like it! (Btw, there is a bug in which the black box does not extend to the entire screen)

Really liked the idea you went with for this game.

Very innovative and creative. Good job!

Whew, trying to manage all this at once is pretty stressful. Would have liked to be able to invert mouse because I'm an old person. Very cool concept.

the audio is great, the graphics are great, the overall concept and implementation of the game are great, and, of course, the gameplay is great

The controls are a bit hard to grasp when you first start, but I found myself having  fun once I understood the controls. The initial complexity of managing the panel is what makes maneuvering the bathyscaphe so satisfying. The low poly visuals were also a treat!

This was fun! After figuring out what control did what I really felt like I was at the controls of a little submersible. My only wish is that I could see more details on the radar scan so I know how far I need to go in one direction or another before I can descend again.

With a bit of work, and maybe a port hole to look outside and see the sights this would be a fun VR game!

Not too bad. Very similar to iron lung but I do like how you're going down, whereas in that game you're only moving horizontally. The tutorial was impossible to follow without having seen the game, but after playing it a bit and coming back to the tutorial, it made complete sense. Overall, a pretty fun game.

The control system is creative. I suggest you can add some goods to pick up, or add one more scanning screen for the depth (And when I just go down and up, there may not be anything happen). Overall, that is a good concept :3

Nice game! Very interesting idea and nice execution :D

Really enjoyed your game. Sounds and very good, interesting design! 

Well done!

Developer
