A cool short game!
The visuals are very simple, yet have their charm and the gameplay is straightforward. I loved the shark's design, it was unique and creepy. I think that the item placement and map layout could have been a bit more thought out, since simply sticking to the edges of the walls/ground made it easy to avoid the shark altogether. Then again, maybe I just got lucky with the AI spawn and patrol.
More sound effects and ambiance would've also been nice and made it feel more tense.
Great concept and a solid game!
Hope you expand it after the jam cuz it was a bit short haha. Loved the creeping atmosphere!
Very short game but very intriguing concept. I died to the shark within seconds the first time but the second time I was actually a little tense wondering if the shark was gonna speed at me out of no where. a little iffy on the game but the concept is there and it would be nice to see it expanded upon, good work!
It’s a really good concept! Being trapped in a confined space with a dark atmosphere. And not even knowing what you are makes it really creepy.
It’s a bit of a shame that there aren’t any sound effects or ambient sounds, since those could’ve added a lot more depth to the experience.
The game is short but really well-crafted. I wish there was a bit more noticeable feedback when scanning objects.
Thank you for the feedback! We had an animation in mind but due to time constraints weren't able to implement it
Super short but scary game. I love how the seaweed wiggle when you move through them. I think scanning needs some sort of audio/visual feedback, and maybe build up the scare a little more.
Thank you for the feedback!The scanning would really benefit from a animation we had planned but weren't able to implement
Liked the concept of this! Was a little frustrated when I got 6/7 but couldn't find the last one? Really loved the darkness aspect of this, our team did something similar with fear of the dark and needing to avoid a monster without being able to see them super easy.
Thanks for submitting! Hope you enjoyed the jam :)
Thank you! Did you end up finding it? All the items should be around the map some are rocks some are crystals and some are types of plants
We really enjoyed the game jam, thanks for rating!
