I LOVE THE RED GUYS MODEL OMG.SJKFHWEU.. Though seriously, when I properly grasped the game mechanics I found the challenge of using up your oxygen smartly to avoid both drowning and getting eaten by the monster very entertaining! I also kinda got scared of it the first time i saw it lol. Great theme interpretation!

The atmosphere in this one is super well executed. Definitely nailed the deep scary unknown feeling of the ocean.

I like the concept and find the theme interesting! I agree with the previous comment that the path could be clearer since I got lost outside the map and wandered around several times. Great work!!

Totally fair about the path needing to be clearer! Thanks for playing, I loved your submission!

As you traverse down the ocean depths, the game does an excellent job of selling an eerie atmosphere that slowly fills the player with dread. At the same time, the natural flora and fauna display a sense of beauty and grandeur. Plus, the Luigi's Mansion-esque flashlight mechanic was a natural and interesting addition to the mix. Great job! :)

For all the among us jokes I could make about the character, this game has really great atmosphere and vibes. It took me a second to realise the way forward was hidden without the flashlight, I think the colour of the path forward could be a lil clearer. But wow the tension builds as I search for an exit in the level knowing a giant flippin fish monstrosity is gonna appear behind me any second now. Great job guys!
