Though I like the concept of ps1 style graphics intermixing with deep sea horror, this game had too many shortcomings for me to actually like it. My main complaints is that the horror/terror element is way too underplayed, and that gameplay can often feel like a chore. The main threat which is running out of oxygen goes from slightly annoying to pretty non existent very quickly, and the other threat which is wildlife consist of only one creature which appears from shore level to the depths, is particularly rare and take like 6 hits to kill you, making it also a non problem. Even when you succumb to these threats the very exponential way in which you gain credits also makes the death penalty of like 25% a non problem too. So what you're left with is a janky mining simulator in which you're forced to be anchored back to base every few seconds so you can buy more upgrades so you can go deeper to get better minerals (and only that, since there's absolutely nothing else in the depths) so you can finally get off this planet.

On some more positive thoughts: the graphic style, the very concept of this game and the start of the game telling you you're stuck in this planet to do slave labor for a megacorporation I really liked. I definitely understand that it's very hard to make a cohesive and even functional game in the span of just 3 days as a one man army, but I still wanted to get my thoughts out on this game as I really do think this has potential and would love to see it make more progress and develop more in the future.

(also how am i even supposed to find the kraken secret through just coordinates when i have 0 ways to use these coordinates in anyway like come on man :(

Hey, thank you for playing. I'm always thankful for any feedback, so no worries there. I can totally understand that the basic (grindy) gameplay loop isn't for everyone and that is totally fine. But you're totally right that a lot of stuff feels a bit underdeveloped at the moment. And like you said that's a result of the very short development time. Yet most of these are actually problems I'm focusing on for the next big update. 

 

As for the kraken / coordinates. There's a hidden GPS upgrade which will make your current coordinates visible at the top of the screen :)

I'll be waiting for it!!!
