I like the progression system and the innovative "SCREAM" button. I wish it were a bit more forgiving because I wanted to see all of it, but the fish kept getting to me! I like how the music changes with the depth--that level of added attention to the music adds a lot, even if it is a small addition.

Great work on the game. I liked that if you moved for too long, the line would get tugged around to try and bait you into fish. The furthest down I managed to get was 85m.

Postgame GiveawayThis is amazing I love the art and the overall concept. The fact that you added a "Scream" button which was really just a joke was really funny. This feel really well thought out. Great job!

Reversi SoulBILLY WILL LIVE ON! Super duper fun, I could tell immediately what type of fish (homing, sin wave, straight forward, fast homing) just by the fish designs, which surprised me a lot. Addicting: I had to get to the end, no matter what! Took me ~4-5 attempts. Got super scared near the depths, wasn't sure if the background vibrating was intentional or a unity thing with pixel art but it actually added a lot of that dread which was great. Loved this one!

I Am A Superstar!Ahh, you really did figure out all the 3 fish patterns! The shark and the piranha actually used the same script with different settings from the green triangular fish coz I ran out of time. It's weird that the background was vibrating though, it might be something to do with the parallax issue, which turned out contributing to the atmosphere haha! I'll consider making it a feature in the future!
I love the Stardew Valley vibes! And the concept is really clever too :)
