The atmosphere is amazing, gameplay is good but it gets repetitive and boring after some time, I managed to get to a harpoon. Maybe the movement could be faster. Also nice art!

Taking the diving deeper thing to heart, I like it! Firstly, the pixel art looks great and you really captured how its like to dive into the ocean depths. Though the movement was a bit finicky and slow for my liking, there wasn't much for me to try to aim for finding aside from going deeper at least from what I played. Still though, nice work on the game!

Pretty fun at start and I like all the different tools you get, and the fish are awesome (though they always tried to drown me as effectively as possible when carrying something out...), but get's boring really quickly, so I stopped after the thingy after the gun (it didn't even give me an item, is it broken or does it do something else?), and the movement way too slow and clunky, which I don't really like. The backgrounds should have parallax, because now they look really static, and the water needs some kind of effect and more underwater backgrounds,currently  it's just a solid color which looks boring, (also why can't you jump out of the water, it would be very cool), the top of the water also needs somekind of outline, because it just cutting looks really weird (the wobbly water top animation is very cool though), also the player should go behind the water, so it's gets a blue tint when underwater, and doesn't look the player is just somehow above the water.  Also getting attacked by something feels really shallow, I rarely even realize when a shark or something attacked me, it needs a sound effect, camera shake, and maybe flash the screen red so there's some impact when getting attacked. Then also WHY NO POST PROCESSING, IT WOULD FIT THIS GAME SO PERFECTLY (and yes, im that one annoying guy in your videos comment section that always complains about postprocessing, or at least one of them), but like actually, the lights look very cool, so bloom around them would look so good, please, just add post processing, I put some effects with paint.net over an image under the comment, and that's just about bloom and vignette and some color adjustments, there's many more cool effects in Unity, and it would just look so good.

I liked the graphics, the controls were a bit tricky, good game though.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I like the pixel art and the ambient sounds! A very cool game for scuba diving! However, adding an indicator if the player has grabbed something might be good for new players to know if they caught something or not. Good job on this!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Wrong, actually it’s horrible

Really fun and great mechanics, love the pixel art really suits the game well!Great Job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

this was pretty cool, and took the theme literally. One thing I would change is the controls since it feels kind of inverted when you are diving 

Developer

Kk, I'll keep that in mind

Fantastic Game The graphics were spot on I loved what you did with the lighting. One thing the motivitation seemed to be lacking our character had no motives so playing felt kind of pointless other than that fantastic the picking up mechanic felt very nice. Great Job.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome graphics and music! Very atmospheric! Great submission!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

The music and ambiance of this game are amazing. It really feels like you're all alone in the world, just exploring the underwater alongside fishes. Well, until I was eaten alive by this giant seashell ah ah. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Haha, glad you think so!

Submitted(+1)

Polished indeed! Did you make the music yourself? It's simple, but loops really well and tells a sense of wonder when you go further and further in depth. I tried to sell the Pink squid by picking him up, so I didn't understood why I died for a few secondes ;(

Developer

I didn't make the music myself sadly, and the squid does kill you! Sorry!

Submitted (1 edit)

Then the music was perfectly chosen, and it's not that easy!

Thank you!

I managed to get the 1000$ chest so that's cool. The game could have been much better with a Pixel Perfect Camera and some water distortion shader. The atmosphere was good, fishes were definetly annoying xD.

Developer

I didn't even think about the pixel perfect camera, ill have to experiment with that!

Very innovative game and unique graphic. However, I was not able to pick an item.

Submitted

Here I recorded a video playing your game(starts at 14:47):

Developer

did you try right click?

Submitted

yes, I tried, hands are moving but cannot capture ch anyway. I am not a good gamer 😅

The graphics were so amazing however i found the movement a bit confusing

Developer

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
