Amazing game!  Got to the second boss (wow, a 2nd boss in a game jam game!) and it was quite a challenge!  I was really impressed with how you scaled up the difficulty progressively with the sharks.  I loved the treasure collecting and everything.  Was surprised to find a weapon upgrade, that was cool.  Great work!

Submitted

Really solid game. Consistent quality throughout. Made it to the 2nd boss, got a bit overwhelmed when the attack pattern changed and the sharks were released and died. And then, because I was shooting at the centre of the screen, I hit restart by mistake. So that was it, haha. But overall, great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Oh yeah I made the boss pretty hard. I didn't even think about that, I really need to change the placement of the restart button. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

the sharks are pretty hard to dodge even when  hitting them at the very edge of the screen it seemed to still be able to catch up and hit me before I could kill it. Not sure where to use the blue key I might have just been lost and unable to find a new path to go down.

Any ways it was a very nice game great job on the art :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! I made it so you don't have to kill the sharks. They only attack you when you are near them so you could just go around it, but I didn't make it clear in the game. There is blue door in upper left of the map and there is the final boss fight. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

ah the door was in the giant crab room? I killed it before I got the key and never went back to that room my bad.

Developer(+1)

No it wasn't in the giant crab room, it was up, right and again up from the giant crab room.

I really enjoyed exploring the underwater area and the variety of enemies made it lively and interesting. Some parts I found a little unforgiving, as enemies would drain your health very quickly and some of them I found near impossible to dodge (the sharks in particular). Unfortunately, the game ended up freezing after a death, making it impossible to click any of the buttons on the death screen. I don't know if it's an in-game bug or a browser issue.

Developer

Thank you for playing ! My first idea for sharks was that they can't be killed, but after I got some feedback I decided to make them so you can kill them, but I also made it so you don't have to kill them you could just go carefully past them. I didn't make it clear in the game though. I haven't heard about that bug before, I need to look into it. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Cool underwater game! Some of the enemies startled me! I really like the speed up power up that lets you smash through the walls. To take this to the next level I'd suggest adding some art to the walls to complete that underwater feel. Also once I beat the crab boss I couldn't get past his corpse, unless I missed something. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Oh yeah, definitely some art for the walls would be nice. I tried to make it so you can push the crab boss corpse out of your way, it shouldn't be so heavy.  I hope it works or after you kill it quickly moving to either side. Thanks for the feedback!

I love this! Great level effects and the different enemy animations are fantastic. The mimic chest and creature that popped out of the hole were some of my favorites, the latter even gave me a legitimate scare the first time I saw it. Great job :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the creature that popped out of the hole. because it was so fun to create. And thanks for the feedback!

I killed the crab boss and it fell and killed me instead!!! I audibly laughed out loud at that one. Great sense of humor in here as noted by everyone else. It's interesting to kind of use the temp gauge as a health bar, makes sense if the sub is getting damaged that it's getting colder/wetter in there.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it! But the temp gauge as a health bar is pretty lame for the theme in my opinion. I had another idea for it, but it didn't work out so I just made it a health bar.

Really enjoyed this, got stuck after finding the blue key and unfortunately didn't know how to progress after exploring for awhile. The crab boss was very unexpected and loved to see it! Was able to cheese it by staying right in it's face, may need a middle attack as well LOL Very nice work!!

Developer

Thank you for playing! After the blue key there is a door in top left of the map, before entering the crab boss room go up, right and up. I forgot the middle attack entirely! I knew there was this safe spot in the middle and I thought about it dropping smaller crabs as a middle attack, but I just forgot it.

I loved the random stuff you put into the level. I loved the shark. I loved the sleeping crab.  Really fun gameplay, good art and music.

Developer

Thank you for playing! It was fun to add all these random stuff into the level so I'm glad it got noticed.

Very fun game, those eels scared the life out of me everytime! Well executed, I would suggest some kind of button you can push that speeds you up but doesn't let you shoot or something, just because some of the backtracking was a little tedious. Otherwise great job and engaging!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! So many of you got scared by the eels which felt great, because it was so fun to create them. That is a great idea, the backtracking can get really tedious.

(+1)

Really fun! The amount of times I got jumpscared from the Eels is uncountable! I got to the boss fight and it was really hard, so i ended up giving up after my 5th attempt lol, Overall, Great game. (P.S the music really made me feel like I was underwater)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! It was so fun to create the eels so I'm glad you enjoyed them. Yes the boss is really hard, maybe I should have done it more easier. I have no experience with creating music so I'm happy I achieved that feel with the music.

Fun to play and running chest is 10/10 xD

Developer(+2)

Thank you for playing! The running chest was an easter egg from my last game where you play as the chest!

Submitted(+1)

Great job! I like the mechanics and how you can find random things while exploring even though almost everything want to destroy you. The shark and the crab-boss(?) was hard. Again, great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

yo great job ! i love the controles , but the sharks are too fast lol destroyed me evrytime , fun game tho ...there is some bugs in ui (press options in menu screen and then esc), keep it up

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! I made sharks in that mind that you don't always have to shoot them you could just carefully go past them. Oh yes the ui is buggy, I should have tested it more properly :/

Submitted(+1)

Great gameplay! It almost feels like an underwater metroidvania.

PS: Am I right to think that the game's name is in Finnish? Sure sounds like it :D

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! Yes the game's name is in Finnish. I'm very bad with names and I'm from Finland so yeah :D. Sukeltaja means Diver in English. Are you familiar with Finnish?

Submitted

I live in Estonia ("olen virolainen poika" :D) , so even though I don't know Finnish, I can at least recognize some words.

Developer

Oh, that's awesome! I can recognize some Estonian words too.

It is good to have different enemies, especially the one who come out from wall. Nice gameplay, and good art. Great job.

Developer

Thank you for playing! The wall creature was the most fun to make. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
