Short and chill game concept. It would be really cool to see this expanded on to a full game, like a pokemon snap where you can move around freely, and add a bunch of other environments to be unlocked as the game progresses and you become more famous as a underwater photographer. I did found on a second play that you can exploit the seals near the boat and get all the money needed to fully upgrade just from them, adding a "hey, you already have this photo" to avoid that would incentivize exploration of the full stage for new stuff to photograph. Good job!

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback. Yes, stopping the player from getting the same score from the same photo every time would be something that needs fixing. Pokémon Snap fixes that issue with the player being on a track, they can't repeat photos because they go past them after some time. I might test out a level on a track for fun and see if it adds to the game. I will also implement a limit to the same photos being taken, which will probably require a level reload if the player wants to take good photos again.
If I expand on the movement, do you think 3D movement would work better?
