Very interesting concept, great both on visual and audio levels. And the mood was just perfect.
There could be more mechanics/stuff to do in main gameplay loop but this is perfect for the small jam game.
Good job!

Alien in the wonderlandCool game, with nice overall visual art. And it is hard :D I had trouble navigating in the game even with the minimap (which is a nice touch btw). It was strange that I was able to swim away from the play area.

Golden PathReally nice mood here! Hard to get all the lights, but a very nice game.

Golden? nuggets!Great game idea from the theme!
Fun set up and gameplay.
I'd have liked to have been able to rotate around using the left right arrow keys. As it was, I was swimming back towards the camera at times which felt odd. I also got a bit lost for a while after swimming away from the rocks into the endless sea :D.
Great job making all this in 2 weeks. Well done!

Gem MountainsReally awesome game. Well done! The minimap is amazing.

The Girl with the Golden Glance5/5 for mood! Gives me Subnautica vibes. I would have liked to hear some eerie music to go along with it though. It also wasn't very clear where I was supposed to go, I think you could benefit from making the boundaries of the environment a little clearer.
But overall, solid concept. Well done!

Jewel HeistI really like the visuals on this one. I wish there was a fullscreen option enabled on the webgl but not a big deal. The concept was great. I ran in to a few bugs but was still playable and I love underwater stuff like this. I played it on a livestream tonight if you wanted to see it you can here.

The Lost RelicIn terms of sticking closely to the theme, I think this one does it very well, as it makes the player a little bit more cautious about the glowing lights. It even has a pretty good low-poly atmosphere that I feel fits the undersea vibe pretty well. However, I think the game lacks in terms of controls as I found myself struggling to move around an clipping through terrain in some areas. Overall, it was an enjoyable game!

Backdoor ChefThere's a nice cohesive feel to the UI (fonts, colors, etc). I like the use of the mini map and the controls felt OK at first but then I tried backing up and it got kind of wonky. :) it would be nice to see a game over screen or something implemented because once I got caught by the big fish the game just kind of... stopped. Anyway, hope you continue to work on this one. I think it has a lot of potential. :)

Grave DiggerThe first time I approached a light and the angler fish suddenly appeared was a great "gotcha" moment. This feels like one of the few takes on the theme where getting punished for fake gold makes sense, so well done! Unfortunately, the controls make this very difficult. I was unable to tell if I was close to a light half the time, and not being able to turn the camera when moving downward felt pretty awkward.
Overall, well done for making such a nice looking 3d game in just two weeks! Quite an achievement! Good job! :)

Golden MirrorsSometimes when I'm close to monster, he gets invisible and visible. Sometimes he caught me and game freezes.
But I like the underwater theme, it's cool and frightening at the same time :)
Good job!

PossessionA nice twist on the theme, got stuck on the terrian quite alot but overall a good game.
Well done!

A Home Among The StarsDude! I jumped from my chair the first time that freaking fish appeared lol
Awesome work, but I don't know why the first time I got capture the "back" button didn't appeared.
Submitted
Fixing LifeReally cool atmosphere! The music was soothing and mysterious, I loved the fish-eye look and the UI is nice too. At first I was a little lost of what to do and I found myself getting stuck among the terrain but after a couple tries I started to really enjoy myself. Nice work!

Space Car ScrambleFirst time I tried, I had trouble with controls, I got lost on the map, unable to play. But I did not give up. because I'm a fan of subnautica, I wanted to try this. So this time I took my controller. That improved the experience immedietely. The game is beautiful, challenging and those big fish and the sound they make actually scare me haha. Good job!
