I concur that this is criminally underrated! Your presentation is top-notch and I can't believe how much you managed to fit into this game in the jam timeframe. I mean, the enemy variety? The scale? The upgrades? The animated robot arms? The options menu alone!

The ballast system for ascent and descent is really cool and unique, and I appreciated that there were more upgrades than just numerical bonuses, like the smart ballast and the different weapon types. The only thing I thought was lacking was some way to get a map, but the sonar upgrade basically performed the same function, so I can't complain too much.

Coming from a team who also often overshoot our targets and make too much content for jams, I am in awe of the level of dedication here. While I can sympathize with the errors you noticed after uploading, I gotta say, they pale in comparison to what you actually accomplished. In honor of our shared reach exceeding our respective grasps, I decided to sit down and actually finish this game. And even though the final boss might not have had the right hit points, the reveal was awesome!

The way jams like this are structured can make it hard for good games to get attention, so please, no matter how the rankings turn out, be proud of your work. This is my personal favorite submission, for whatever a stranger's opinion is worth!
