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!

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.

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!

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

Really good game, more mechanics then the other games of this type, good job.

Overall I really like the art style, and the gameplay loop centered around exploration is really cool! It took me a long time to figure out how to buy upgrades, and it was a little frustrating having to move slowly towards the upgrade islands one at a time, so maybe a centralized shop area would be nice. Also, the hitboxes on the spikey guys are deceptively big and always caught me off guard. It seems like 2 of the levels are missing wall hitboxes underwater? And I couldn't reach the mysterious fourth upgrade because the island leading to it walled me off. And pressing G to win the game at the end took me a very long time to figure out lol. Maybe if you just automatically won when you talk to the questgiver? 

Even despite running into these issues I had a lot of fun exploring the ocean and finding treasure!! Very good job with this!!

It's a very nice game, the artstyle has so much personality! But I have a few critiques, mainly the fact that the hitboxes of enemies are very large, and you tend to die a lot because of it. Also, it could use a visual or audio warning for when you are about to run out of oxygen or pressure is too high, as I didn't notice how low I could go at the beginning. Also, hazards aren't very clear: there are some smaller fishes that can kill you, although others you can just grab with the net, also ambient hazards through the map aren't as obvious. The voiceover could be nice, but I quickly got tired of hearing it over and over when dying, but I could see it implemented better and less repetitively in the game, as it actually adds to the overall personality of it!

Also I couldn't figure out how upgrades work (but maybe I'm just stoopid lol), but for the rest the game explains the controls flawlessly.

Overall great game, could use some polish, but very full of personality and that's a thing I love! :D

Really complete game. It really deserves more attention. The lofi mixed with a cute aesthetic makes it really likable.

I don't know if its a bug, but I couldn't get to the island selling energy upgrades.
