Good visuals and great music. I'm not a huge fan of the fog of war, but other than that, I think it was a solid concept.
It was a little hard to figure it out but enjoyed it because too easy puzzles are also a turn off.
A couple of teaching levels would improve player interaction for sure.
Enjoyed the challenge. Congrats!!
Fun puzzle game! Took me way too long to figure out how it worked lol, but once I did I started to have a lot of fun with it. I love that it's turn based instead of time based. Great job!
This is a really neat game. I would agree that a little more intro would help, but it's definitely surmountable and fun. The music made me feel like calm underwater, which contrasted with "Hungry!" hahaha. The first time, I didn't realize it was kinda like Lufia 2, where the enemy only moves when you do, so I booked down a corridor to my death xD, but just once.
Once that's established, the puzzle style became clear. One thing I think might improve it even more is if the difficulty was not partially the need to know the layout somewhat, and find that out by perishing first. However, I'm fine with the explanation that I'm not smart enough to do it right the first time LOL.
Nice work!
Really love the soundtrack! I do agree with the other comments that a tutorial is needed, even if it's supposed to be a puzzle game. At least some further instruction that just the button controls and the goal would be good. Otherwise great game! Very atmospheric. :)
Thank you for the feedback! ☺️ and very fair, we'll make some guides to make start up easier!
Great Soundtrack, really difficult without a tutorial, but I enjoyed it :D
Hey, the challenge is part of the fun! 😉 It's all about figuring things out yourself, scaling your moves, and then conquering the next puzzle. It's like being the ultimate predator of the sea, always adapting and evolving. 🦈🏆
Don't give up! The satisfaction of solving a difficult puzzle is worth the effort. 💪
Gorgeous game and the sound track is lovely and so atmospheric, i found it rather hard and that it could have maybe benefited from a small tutorial.
