- Really fun submission I enjoyed the worldbuilding and the artstyle is absolute peak, Greath job!
How does the game fit into the theme?
The game only has one player control, which is the fishing boat's light. The light is used to fend away anomalies of the deep. Moreover, the player only has one life (if the anomaly hits them, they lose), and there's only one story.
What premade assets did you use if any?
The button clicking and the dialogue sound effect (the same one, I just chopped them up for different uses).
What are the Discord usernames of everyone on your team?

The visual style is very striking and cohesive, you've done a really fantastic job! The character sprites are a bit eerie and fit the vibe very well. I also liked the frame around the game to tie it all together. I quite enjoyed the music as well. I think some sort of subtle shadow in the water or slight distortion to hint at where an anomaly is when the light isn't shining on it would be helpful.
This feels like the prologue to a wider game and I'd love to see more of it. I can definitely see an expanded version of this where each trip gets progressively longer and more complex. Possible multiple types of anomalies that could fake the player out in some way, and additional mechanics surrounding the light like recharging or flickering for added difficulty.
Very well made game, congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what font did you use for the itch.io page?
Thanks so much for checking it out! I used the Pixel font set to medium size :]
Very good game, I can see it expanded a lot!
This is a masterpiece!
Wow, the art is amazing!
The gameplay loop feels a bit repetitive after a few tries, but the atmosphere and mood really make it worth it.
Great job!
