That was a thrilling ride! I was totally expecting to fish, not to almost become fish food! The atmosphere was great, and that sudden change in atmosphere on dark fall was well done.

I felt that sudden sense of urgency when it got dark and I had to head back, I was really hoping to be able to fish though haha. The music felt like it was coming from the monster/fish I thought that was cool. Your water and atmosphere was well done. I think if I could turn the light manually to spot the fish and obstacles that would really up the intensity. Well done!

I really liked the audio, the music helped with the anticipation. It just had a really abrupt ending. Another note: when the game ends, you can't click anything on the home screen because the mouse isn't shown

Appreciate the feedback!

Alot of thought were put into the sound of the boat and waves, but the angler fish was added a little late and therefore we didnt really get around to make a good ending as it was added at the late into the jam. We always love to hear feedback as to what we can improve on for the next game jam.

Thanks again for the feedback :)

Ah, fun. I love ocean games. Love the subtle guidance in the location. I *think* I played through. There is the splashy ending, and there is the aprupt ending (the good ending?). What did you use to make the ocean?

you probably either "died" or got killed of what it sound like. You should get a thank you for playing when you complete it. But might be hard to see because it goes over the quest text

I noticed myself that the quest text just flashed "Thanks for playing". So its really hard to see. Unfortunately we didnt get around to fix it before the deadline.

We really appreciate you playing and giving a feedback!

Works now, i love the immersion the first person creates in your game! Pritty similar approach to my game ;) Just on an airship instead. I tried to fish the angler fish multiple times and had to realise it destroys the boat hrhr. And when it's dark it's a little bit rough to navigate. But I love the immersion and the feeling you create. Keep on going!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Nice to hear that the effects we added for immersion worked! Would love to have worked more on the angler fish and the ending as i see it could get confusing as the ending and the angler fish catching the boat were added last second. Really appreciate you trying the game and giving feedback!

PS: Your game was really stunning :)
