How does your game fit the theme?
Dive deeper is the theme, it's an underwater seaweed farm game with a bloody twist

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
More or less ;) I got some help for the code. I made the visual assets myself, I used free sound and music from YT library and freesound.org

"Here I Am"⚓

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. Gameplay was fun! I enjoy these clicker esc games! Lots of fun!
  2. I love how much stuff is on the screen after awhile, you can really see the improvement!
  3. I like the voice acting you chose, very well done in my opinion!
  4. Artwork is great!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. Having some different voice lines would be nice, and making it so it cancels out the voice when you move again. I mainly noticed this with both moving the sub and buying new Divers

Overall 📓

Very well done game! I had fun playing while the sharks were out to spice up the gameplay. Overall great experience, great work!

Thanks a lot for this feedback, you put a lot of thoughts and effort into it, really appreciate it :)

I'll check you entry and I will do my best to provide some feedback ^^

Yes I think there was some similar voices and I also did not make it so that it cancels a voice when issuing another order, it's a good idea :) ( and I think that's how they do in the games that inspired me for this part ^^" )

yeah your game was lots of fun! Great work on this one! Also thanks for checking my entry out!

Strategy games are really hard to get right for game jams, but you did it. At some point the sharks stopped coming and the music stopped, but I still captured my ton of carbon. Great job!

Developer

Thanks ! haha ^^' yay, I did not really work the "end game " sorry. Glad that you enjoyed the experience. Will go try your entry also :)

This is a pretty cool game, it seems we had similar ideas for games about hiring divers. :)

The game loop was fun enough to have me hooked until I bought everything, it seems once you have 70 divers and all the plots there's not much left to do. The shark attacks made me wish the divers had some ability to get an upgrade to defend themselves, controlling the submarine was a little chaotic during the attacks, and the command sounds from clicking played over each other at a rapid pace. 

It also would have been nice to see how many levels each upgrade has, or to disable the button when it is maxed out, to be more clear to the player about their upgrade path. You could add a sound for cashing out to improve the audio feel as well.

Some kind of final purchase or ending scene would also help signify to the player that they have reached the apex of their farming capacity.

Overall, fun entry and good job.

Developer

Thanks for all these valuable feedback :) 

I'll take time to try your game tomorrow and write a review as well ^^

Great game! very fun to play

Nice game with easy controls

Nice concept, I did reach the top values . When it ends?

Developer

Thanks ! Normally if you fill the Co2 level on the right you should get a win screen 😅

These are the most dedicated divers of all time despite the many OSHA violations I committed :D This is a fun and quick idea that I loved playing!

Developer

😂 thanks ! ^^

This is a cool concept. I liked the idea of combining an idle farmer with a tower defense game. My main feedback would be to resize the viewport for the game on your itch.io page. The top of the game was cut off for me, so I had to enter full screen in order to see the entire game. It probably needs another 50px in height. Good job on the game though!

Developer

thanks for the feedback! For me, viewport on itch ( and in Unity ) is still black magic at the moment 😅 but I'll try to get better at it :)

Wow, Game was really fun.. simple looking sprites were so good. and I love the Idea of tower Defense type game. How I upgrade through and Got more worker to work

Developer(+1)

Thanks :) I wanted to push the Tower Defense part further with upgradable seaweed that would generate some kind of fishes ' attack / defense ' but I did not have time to implement these ^^.

Submitted(+1)

nice concept, I would love to see harder stages

also, the divers moonwalk is hilarious

Developer(+1)

Hahaha, yes I forgot to take time to flip the animation ^^""""

Hey I find the CO2 to be a very interesting concept for the game! congrats!

Developer

Thanks :) yes I wanted to introduce this idea that we can do some business that are also good for the planet ;) 

Submitted(+1)

On my way! Great game and certainly an interesting idea. I'll be honest it took me a long to realize how to control the submarine, I tried to press all buttons on the keyboard and then i found out :3 Nice job!

Developer

Thanks ! Haha 😅 I should have write it somewhere sorry.

Some auto-clicker defense game. Interesting. I agree with the other comments on the movement of the submarine. Also the harpoon is not really easy to hit.

Developer

Thanks for testing the game :) I agree the harpoon is not very easy right now ^^" . I tried you game, nice ! will leave a review and rate it :)

That was something new :D At first i was sure it was an auto clicker or something. Now I´m not sure what is is. A new genre? xD  Verry innovative 10/10! The controls are a bit fiddly and maybe a short explanation how the game works would help. ^^

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words. I tried to do something a bit different ^^. I was not sure how much explanation should I provide ( learning how to " balance " this part: should I explain more or less ).  Haha, yes the controls are... not good ^^"

Submitted(+1)

good game, just the submarine need to get better control

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! will go try your game :) yes the controller is not really good :s ^^"
