A mini survival game is a cool idea, though it was really hard to see and there wasn't much to do, these are things that can always be improved on later, to make something even better.
This is fair criticism, we didn't get enough time towards the end to properly play test. Important lesson learned :)
Nice game. The underwater experience is recreated well, with the narrow field-of-view offered by the torch. The sounds are well made. The harpoon in particular was fun to use, both for movement and picking up objects. You could consider adding more objects/challenges, to increase the variety while waiting for the boat. Overall it was a good experience :)
Yeah, unfortunately adding more enemies/ variety just kept getting pushed back in the priorities list until it was too late. I also think the overall play area was a bit sparse. Lessons have been learned!
If you click "im stuck" too often, you can skydive :D
You should definitly make use of the LightOccluder2D for your walls. i think that would look much much better ;)
Thanks! This was our first time doing anything at all with light, and I think this proved to be the easiest/ fastest way.
As for the "I'm stuck", it was sort of shoved in at the last minute as we'd never properly tackled that problem and were getting very close to the deadline :)
Nice game, I enjoyed my 5 minutes with it.
The swimming feels nice. That's the best case scenario for any swimming game, haha.
I suggest to make the dark less dark, less pitch black. Navigating only with the flash light, without being able to discern vaguely the contours of the rocks makes things difficult.
Congrats to the team for your submission!
