How does your game fit the theme?
The player cannot complete the game without buying upgrades after finding treasures, to be able to dive deeper. To complete the game, you must be... Diving Deeper!

NOTE: We updated the build because of a game breaking UI bug making it unplayable on startup. Be fair on points with this information and notice the bugs we left in for you to enjoy like backwards swimming sharks :D. We did not use any extra time to fix other stuff in the game.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

Nice game, really well made!

Good game! I like the art style you were going for, but I think it could be polished a lot more. You could improve the audio by having sound feedback when you net, claw, get damaged, etc. I would also suggest a health bar instead of just instant death, especially because things that kill you, like the followers and the spiky bois, aren't exactly easy to spot. Maybe you could also add animations instead of just showing the claw/net or making the spiky boi bigger. Though, I like the mechanics and the overall style of the game. Great work!

Had a blast exploring the depths! Gameplay and visuals are a win. UI could be smoother, and clearer instructions would be a plus. Overall, it's a fun underwater adventure worth diving into! 🌊😄

Developer

Taking this amazing feedback with us! Thanks and fun to hear you liked it!

I thought this was a pretty fun diving game.  I liked that there were different Islands that needed different items that I was diving for.  Once I realized I could go to different locations from the main Island I started having a ton of fun.  There were a couple of things that I think could make it a little easier to play like explaining how to use the stores and how to travel around.  The keys were a little far apart too, it just took me a minute to get used to how the buttons were set up, I think if all the keys I was using were next to each other so I didn't have to move my hand so much it would make it more intuitive.  The HUD was a little to big I think for diving as well.  It was hard to see what was on the bottom of the screen because the UI was blocking it.   The last thing I think could help is adjusting the colliders sizes, I was hit by a shark a couple of times even when I was a pretty good distance away from it.  Fun game though, You did a great job with the art style and environment.

Wow, thanks! Lots of feedback here we can take in and improve on, very appreciated! Lovely to hear you liked it :)

First of all, the game obviously nailed the theme. Well done to the artists on the team as well, the colorful cartoony feel to the game was very pleasing to look at. The gameplay itself was really fun for the most part, it mainly just needed some tweaks with information. The edges of the screen flashing red for low oxygen/pressure would have helped with that, and similarly some distinction for enemies to stand out would be nice. Of course you can only do so much in 7 days and the team has already done quite a lot of work and it shows. Overall this is definitely one of the most polished games I've seen in the jam, amazing work!

Developer

We are flattered! Thanks for this great comment! We had a blast creating it and will take in this feedback to improve upon. Thanks for playing! :D

Awesome art work! A low oxygen or pressure indicator would be nice, like have it flash red or something, otherwise great work!

Sharks, why does it always have to be sharks!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. The different creatures added to the variety of the game!
  2. I loved the sprite work! It was very well done! Great work!
  3. The gameplay was pretty fun!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. Fixing some sprite hit colliders is the main point, because I wouldn't even be close to an enemy and I would get hit.
  2. Id recommend getting the player into the different types of species later, in other words have the harder fish deeper down, because it is kind of discouraging not being able to catch most of the fish at the beginning.

Overall 📓

Great work on this game!  I had so much fun playing it! This is one of my favorite games of the jam! Great job! You should be proud of yourself!

Developer

Hi, I saw in the description you guys fixed a UI bug that wasn't letting people start the game. I believe it is still happening here. I downloaded from the Download button on this page, which says it was updated 1 day ago.

Developer

Could you share us a screenshot? You should have an installer of the game instead of a zip file is that correct?

Submitted(+1)

I tried installing again to take the screenshot and it worked this time. I tried twice yesterday through the .exe installer and got the background without the UI. But now I got all the fruits :D

I love this game, nice visuals and gameplay mechanics

This is a great, polished game, with appealing visuals and nice music.

Things that I would think about improving: The game doesn't communicate how deep you can go so you are diving and then randomly you die. It also doesn't show what you can pickup with net and what will kill you when you try to pick it up. Also the upgrade islands changing based on what you select in the map is an interesting but a little unintuitive mechanic. But all of these things can be learned by just playing and with trial and error, so it isn't really a problem, just me nitpicking a little.

Overall the game made a good impression on me, well done!

Developer

We'll improve on this feedback! thanks for the good pointers we missed during development! And better to be nitpicking so we can improve so very appreciated! Thanks

Cool, fun to looking for treasures. Didn't found how to find a shop to buy something.

Developer

Sorry to hear, buying upgrades was just 'enter' key again.
