Did you work in a team?
Worked in a team of 6.

Was the resolution a challenge?
Yes. Such low of a resolution made art different from what we were used to and we ran into a ton of problems with the camera and the UI.

What did you learn?
We have never worked with such a low resolution. We learned a lot about UI, painting a world map, and how to manage with a relatively low time constraint.

Wow! 64 by 64 Subnautica!)

Loved overall concept, music and flippers animation )

That submerge into unknown, simple craft mechanics, creepy music  - loved it all. Would be nice to play full version, when it done.

Wow this is so good! \o/ I love how full upgrades let you breach higher than a dolphin ^^

I saw you ran out of time and wanted a bigger map with enemies that would be such a good idea, this is a great foundation to something that could be awesome! :)

I like it! I've never considered an underwater crafting game before. I always find underwater games stressful but I had a good time with this. It took me a while to realise I could go to the surface to breathe and I was grateful later on when the air bubbles appeared. Good job well done.

Relaxing but tense experience (it doesn't make sense but that how i feel about it xd), really interesting, i wish there was more things at the bottom to satisfy my curiosity of exploring the depths.

I finished it! Absolutely lovely game! Audio and graphics are great, solid gameplay, very immersive even though it's just 64x64. Very chill underwater vibes - made me drop on the deck and flop like a fish

The ambiance of this game is fantastic—the music changing as you explore different areas is a *chef's kiss* detail. There's something soothing about swimming games, even when you're swimming through spooky caves and the music's doing its level best to remind you of that at every turn—in the back of your mind you always know that you can turn and swim to the surface at top speed and jump out of the water like a dolphin, and that's worth a lot.

("I am not a clever man" moment: I thought the ship you start in was *your crashed ship*, and spent longer than I want to admit trying to find the radio there. Clearly, it is not there. Yet there I am, swimming through again.)

Ver cool game! Honestly felt like I was playing a 2D Subnautica. I've always itched for more nautical underwater games of any sort, and this game hits that itch so well. While the visual changes between the depth zones were subtle, they really helped feel like you were going deeper and deeper into the water, and the music changes here helped even more, adding to the tension of going deeper and deeper. Collecting resources, while super simple, felt satisfying because of how limited your time is by the oxygen. The progression in crafting felt great.

I would love to see this game expanded on. Great job to all!
