How does your game fit the theme?
We are going to dive deeper into the ocean of Jupiter's moon 'Europa' and explore alien life.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code is written this week.
All art is created this week.
All audio comes from Artlist (with adjustments made to fit our project).
I would be lying if I said the game is average, the game looks like it was made by 5 people done in 2 or more weeks! This game is super polished, the art look so fitting and detailed, the story and the description of every upgrades is great too!
The only downside is that the ship have to move forward or backward to steer, with the steering felt too slow and sluggish, so I propose that the ship can steer or rotate regardless if you moving or not. This game is excellent!
We put a lot of hours into making it as it is. The steering was a point of discussion because a sub steers only when moving, but gameplay-wise, it would be better to rotate. We finally chose the first one and reduced the backward speed so you can still maneuver your light as you want.
Thank you for rating our game!
This game is AWESOME! It looks and plays like an actual finished game. the art is really impressive and the sound and music is really good. And thank you so much for giving it an actual ending, since you could have easily made it infinite. (In my opinion games with actual endings are way better.)
The only problem I had was that the flashlight felt really useless, since it had only downsides to using it (You'd die easier and consumed more power). But thats just nitpicking. It was an absolute amazing game.
Great game. Keep it up♥
This game felt very polished and as if it was a final product, the UI was very impressive and I feel that your idea fit the theme very well, I liked the funding system and the sound design was very clean. However, I would like that there would be an option to skip the intro sequence as it feels a bit long furthermore I would like to be able to turn without having to move forward and that the scanning would be saved because it feels redundant to scan it every single time you die. In conclusion, this game is very impressive and the UI is incredibly clean and polished. You have truly outdone yourself and I wish you the best of luck on your future games!
The mood is very nice and it feels very polished.
The biggest issue I had is that I kept being killed by surprise and the intro sequence was too long to go back. I also don’t think it makes much sense to allow re-scan the data you’ve already scanned before dying, as this discourages a bit discovering new areas.
Very well done entry, congrats! thank you for the game
The scan is decreasing to 0, so you can scan the same object a few times. The scanning reward is a bit high now, considering it's a jam, and we want people to upgrade the drone to its full potential. We had the idea of adding more pods with a persistence mechanic, but we had to cut this idea due to time constraints. Do you agree that the respawn time could be shorter after 2 or so deaths.
Excellent entry. The environment looks great and the UI is so clean.
For some feedback, I might consider speeding up the entry sequence a little bit. It's well done and feels immersive, but after a few deaths, I would have liked to jump back in quicker. Aside from that I can't find anything else to critique. Amazing job!
WOW ! I have no idea why there's not more people playing it. It's incredibly well done.
This... This is way too polished... love the atmosphere that the sound design built, really felt in a dark underwater unexplored place, really enjoyed the tank controls, adds to the experience. the art style looks like something that would spawn from mixing Limbo and Subnautica. The little tiny details like trails and particles add so much to the experience. I would love to see this made on to a full game with a proper narrative.
Wow, just wow. Such a polished game, and you did this in a week? Bravo!
I was a bit skeptical about the "Use headphones for the best experience", but I glad I followed the tip.
The art style and audio together made a very "deep water exploration" experience, which very much adhere to the theme.
The gameplay part is also very good, the risky and hostile aliens and environment gave the exploration experience a boost.
If you told me this is a game ready to be sold I would've believe it. There's a lot of game on steam that are less polished than this game. Great job!
This has to be one of my favorite games from the jam, the graphics are so good, and the sounds are so satisfying to listen, the gameplay becomes slowly engaging as you are upgrading your robot, it feels so lonely but the fact that you beat missions makes it better, to me this a 5/5 game, fantastic work guys!
I had a really enjoyable experience playing the game, thank you
Cool entry, very polished and amazing art style! I like the concept and I think it very well suit the theme!
After some run (like 10 or something) I got frustrated to have to restart from the beginning every time, especially when I acidentally crash into something as soon as I went deep. Checkpoint of some sort could help dumb player like me to enjoy the game more. XD
The thing I liked most are the atmosphere and that sense of unkown the game give to you, It really makes me want to explore and find new creature and curiosities that lies under the surface.
Thanks! Yes, you are right about restarting every time on the same location. We have a lot of ideas to improve the game. Having different starting locations is one of them. Also we would have loved to add a sort of encyclopedia about the life you discover. To amp up the discovery aspect of the game.
Love your game. Very polished art and UI. The atmosphere is great. Kind of interesting that settings of our games is kind of similar. If you have time, please take a look at my game, thanks.
