Great entry there, I like the atmosphere and gameplay! 

Submitted

Good Graphic and Fun gameplay, cool game ^^

Submitted

I like style of this game! Good job!

Submitted

i really like the style of the game. the details were really good. it was a bit slow but otherwise it was fantastic. you should check out my game.

Submitted

The atmosphere is really cool and the controls feel nice and responsive, the idea is interesting but I feel like the gameplay gets a little slow, so maybe adding some movement options or faster movement in general could help with that.

Submitted

Cool game, a bit slow for my tastes, but the controls are smooth and game loop interesting. Also great atmosphere, a bit spooky.

Submitted

I liked the game! Although I wish it was a tad bit faster. I was completely fine with the controls, a  bit different than what one is used to, but that makes it interesting in my book. And I really liked the graphics! The fish swimming around looked a bit goofy but I found it funny, don't  know if that fits the atmosphere you wanted to create. Good job overall!

Submitted

Nice

Nice graphics and sound design, but I wish that the movement speed was faster and I didn't understand how to get money.

Submitted

Very cool game, well fit to the jam's theme. Ambient sound and cool lightning effects. One thing is I would like to move and rotate little bit faster.

Submitted

Voted! Good job =)

Cool and fun game! I will say tho the movement was a little tedious, but other than that it was pretty good!

Submitted

Great game! I like seeing all of the fish swim around! Turning around was a bit tricky but great work!

Submitted

Nice game! I like that you grab the little treasures and carry them to the surface instead of them being in an inventory or something. The controlls took some getting used to but I really like them :)

Submitted

Awesome art and great atmosphere. Well done!

Submitted

Interesting game with nice music

Submitted

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!

Submitted

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. (above is with and under without)

Cool graphics and mechanics
