I wrote all the code, made some of the assets, and downloaded some from other creators as well. Credit is given in game, and on the games page.

Cool game and very atmospheric music. Graphics and controls are convenient and easy)

Submitted

I love the underwater atmosphere. the controls are alright but some touches here and there would make it great. the game is pretty calm too! keep it up!

Aside from UI it’s incredible beautiful game. Maybe I just love underwater settings a lot, but it was really nice. Controls are not exactly the best, I didn’t feel the weight and that it’s actual diving exactly well. Atmosphere is great. Theme is obviously perfect here. Sounds are nice as well. Just very relaxing and calming game.

Lovely atmosphere you created, relaxing game, the helmet overlay I don't like that much but it's the experience that gives it so that's a pluspoint for it.

Amazing atmosphere. Kind of oppressive being down in the dark ocean all alone. 

Submitted(+1)

What a successful atmosphere! You can feel the immensity of the abyss. The music is very well chosen. Bravo for the work!

Graphics and sounds are nice. Atmosphere and environment are well. But didn't like the framing mask. The game don't need it for ambience. Movement was a bit slow for me. Other than that good job!

Developer

Yeah, I wanna completely rework the controls, and hopefully in the future add purchasable upgrades, some of which will make you faster. Thanks for playing!

I think the game's resolution isn't working on my computer. It cut off the bottom and top side of the controls screen, and I can't quite click what I assume is the button to continue to the game, so I couldn't try it out. The game looks interesting though.

Developer

Yeah, sorry bout that, thats one thing I'll keep in mind next time, different resolutions, an option menu in general was something I wish I had more time to incorporate. Thanks for trying though!

Great first game jam entry! The visuals and atmosphere were excellent. The music was very calming and it was a nice contrast to entries that were more stressful. With a bit more structure and fleshed out mechanics I think it'd be a great VR game. The addition of ways to spend the coins and gems and some sort of navigation system would be great if you decide to continue to develop it. Anyway, I enjoyed my time with this one. My only small criticism is that the depth of field effect is a bit too strong when trying to read the treasure text :)


Feel free to check out my gameplay video playtest for more in-depth feedback! It's my longest one yet by far 😂

Developer

Thanks for checking it out, and thank you for making a video, it was cool seeing someone play it. You were so close to the last chest lol, it was in the crystals there, Ill spoil the last one though, it says "You're awesome! Thanks for playing!" I wanna eventually add a spaceship you go back to when youre done, and from there you can buy upgrades, and unlock new worlds oceans to explore. A sonar or map would definitely be one of those things, I didn't even realize how hard some of those are gonna be to find, I guess reorganizing how the coins and chests are arranged in the level would be a good idea too.

awesome graphics and fun to play

Would've loved to rate this game but unfortunately my computer doesn't like .rar files. Looks good though! 

Developer(+1)

Ill see what the rules say about adding a ZIP file to the downloads, and upload one if its cool.

Submitted

We checked about adding a WebGL to ours and the mods said no! But let me know if you have any luck:)

Developer(+1)

yep, thats a no for some reason. Does winrar not work for you?

Submitted(+1)

No, don't know why :( I'm following the usual procedure. Will forward your game to my team:)

Shrimp facts, moose, kangaroo mouse and universe facts.

10/10.

I got 19 chests, 3 gems and 260ish coins. Cool game

Submitted(+1)

The feel is just amazing. Its like a super relaxing game, which I really needed after this jam. the diving helmet also looks really good. and its overall just a really fun and relaxing game. atmosphere is amazing.

Great game. keep it up♥

Developer(+1)

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it! And I feel ya, there is alot of scary and intense games in the jam haha, nothing wrong with that, I love scary stuff, but sometimes ya need a little break from it.

My UI crashed and I couldn't start the game :((((((((((((((

Сould you rate my game (https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236838) ?

Developer

at what part?

In the menu that is shown after pressing the start button

Developer

There should be a little button at the bottom of that menu that says "Dive", clicking that doesn't do anything?

No, because of my screen resolution, it's just not visible

Submitted(+1)

Wow what a cool vibe! The fish boids are really impressive, and the framing from inside a mask is really creative. I noticed some LOD or visual culling popping, but not a big deal. I do wish there was some greater incentive for collecting the various things, but overall this is a nice experience! Very nicely done.  I like the fact about Froot Loops ;D

Developer

yeah, that only happens in the web gl version. not sure why really. I wanted to add a system where you use the items to unlock new oceans to explore, and weird portals to stranger places, but I got a little over zealous for a one week jam lol, had to wrap it up where it was. Ill probably add on to it in the future after the jam. Glad you liked it!

I really enjoyed this atmospheric experience. Highly recommend downloading for the best experience! 

Submitted(+1)

I love the cozy nature of the game and the ambience from the music really helped me get immersed in the game. Despite both of our games having the same names, we had wildly different ideas lol. Great work!

Developer(+1)

lol what are the odds? Thanks for checking it out, glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed searching all the chests, but i'm not sure what to use the coins on. I really love the mood and ambience ! Really great work

Developer

Yeah, I want to eventually add a system where you can buy things back on your spaceship and unlock new worlds oceans to explore, but this is as far as I got in time for the game jam. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Great Game. Most enjoying experience and gameplay from the game jam so far. Love the ambience, and this first person view is sick! Everything is blurry, almost feel like a dream. Keep up!

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
