VERY nice.
Only thing thats confusing me is, i've gone in the deep a couple times before already and that worked fine, but now the creature is pretty much camping the entrance, and immediately appears 100% of times i go in the deep. Maybe i did something wrong? It feels like a bug.
This is kind of important... because i just cant continue the game like this...
^^ Edit: I just went for it anyways and... it didnt kill me? I guess it just wants to hit you a certain amount? I guess this is normal then?
Another bug i found, that im unsure how i triggered, was that i once got teleported (with my submarine) very far to the left of the deep. I couldnt see myself, i just saw the creature circling around, i held the "move right" key and at some point i was able to see myself again. The creature started attacking me of course (would have been too easy) but i managed to escape just in time to survive
Also the fact that you can just move past the left/right borders of the deep area is just confusing, if there is nothing there, why not add an invisible wall?
Edit 2: finished the game. It was great. The base building was nice, but in hindsight feels a bit excessive for how little you stay there?
Vibe 9/10, soundscape 8/10, visuals 9/10 (both the pixelart and the light effects are really nice... the ending is beautiful too), building 8/10, gameplay... maybe a 7? There isnt a lot, but you dont really know that until you're done, and the (pun not intended) immersiveness and vibe already keep you busy enough to not make the experience feel empty.
More stuff would have been great. (You pretty much just, get the basic materials, get the crafting stuff, optionally customize your house, get the keys, and it's over...)
Would recommend
