The idea is fine, but the game feels a bit unfinished.

Fun game! My sub would keep turning right even after I move left and wait a second, would be cool to have harpoons launch towards wherever the mouse is. Good job!

Neptune's EyeInteresting idea, the controls were a bit weird at first but once you get the hand of it, it's good to play and responsive. Nice work

Devil's TeethI like the idea of descending and encountering bigger and bigger fish, I did something similar in my game too (feel free to check it out!) It's a good basis for a game and I hope the experience you got from making this will be valuable in the future.

Fish the DepthsThis is a good game idea, I would love to play the finished version!

The Atlantis InquiryI love the concept- reminds me of the club penguin fishing game, which I like. Shame it is not quite finished

For Science!Obviously there are certain things that are a little rough, controls feel slightly unintuitive, art is scaled so it looks a little weird, could use more feedback so it doesn't feel so flat, BUT, critique must be tempered with compliments and you definitely deserve some. Afaik, this is the first jam you've done on your own and that's a great acomplishment! Creating a game on your own is no easy feat especially within such a short period so props to you. The idea itself also has plenty of potential to be expanded upon, I truly hope you keep working on this and end up with something much more polished and complex as I really, truly like the idea. That said, overall the game is a little rough around the edges but is definitely a fantastic attempt, very well done.
