How does your game fit the theme?
This game is about exploring unknown depths of deep waters.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made code ,models ,textures and sounds were taken from elsewhere. In total it took me around 3 - 4 days to make , I had limited time available but I am still proud of the result.

I chuckled a little when I first Ecco-the-dolphin flipped out of the water after getting some speed increases, and full on laughed when after a few more speed increases I could just fly around outside/underneath the map to really explore. What was the third upgrade, "Pickups power" supposed to do? I never managed to find any pickups to power.

Third upgrade was supposed to buff O2 pickups and speed pickups but I run out of time to add them. And yes once you start flying is becomes super fun and funny at the same time :D

grea concept it might be a little bit glitchy because my pc can't run it easly :( but i played so many games and had the same concept like you to save other underwater great game try to update or make the control more better and it could be good

edit :when the player enter the water try using a shader that make the color correction more blue and green it could be a good realistic and satisfying also

The music is a little stressful. I was able to fly out of the starting zone by mashing space instead of E. But the game is good ! :)

EdgarsBGamesDeveloper1 year ago

Flying part is kind of funny. I made the game so that you can break it when you get far enough . I think that adds extra fun :D (smash space button become superman :D)

I love the game design and the effect o the cam when you dive deeper, I struggled at first with the controls, but figured it out quickly :D very good game you deserve more ratings

Very cool game! I like how sinister the game is and its secrets about it! I kind of tried to go upwards and got sent flying (and soft-locked) instead :] Good job on the game!

The audio was tense, that I really liked. Player controllers were hard to adapt but easy when you get used to it. But I discovered a little bug that happens when you try to go left.

Fun game. I Like how you keep having to press space to move forward, its a way of movement I dont see very often. also it was really fun to break the game, how bad that might sound. Like if your movement speed was fast enough, you could just fly out of the map and explore things that wheren't meant to be found. also the.. graveyards? or pedestals (I dont know what they are) where also a pretty good way to encurage players to explore. I played it for quite a long time and I think I can safely say I found everything.

The movement was a bit buggy some times, and it wasn't that clear what to do in the begining, but It was a really fun game overall.

Great game. keep it up♥

Thanks! I too think breaking the game with the crazy movement is the best part :D , I wish I had 1 or 2 more days would have added more things to explore :)

Good looking! But I can't go deeper as I lose O2 faster and I died

Thanks for playing, the more you die the better you become at the game since you gain currency every time you die. You can totally break the game with many upgrades :D .

Pressing space doesn't seem to move the character. Aside from that, the game does look good and fits the theme well
