A nice game, the models are nice, and I liked the overall esthetic and ambience!

In my opinion, tho, the game feels a bit bland after a while, as the only things encountered are the occasional fish that kill you, or sometimes an item. The items are also pretty useless in my opinion, I mainly used the gun for fun to not get bored, and the flashlight isn't really needed currently, as the dark depths present no enemies, and you can still see pretty well in the dark. A way to make these useful would've been nice, like enemies you are forced to shoot at to proceed (maybe enemies that follow you), and enemies in the dark you cannot see if you don't catch them in the flashlight. The overall story doesn't make much sense, but I got why at the end of the game...and I think actually leaning even more in the "dream-like" strangeness of the story that unfolds playing through the game would've been perfect, as it would fit the theme in two ways: diving deeper into the ocean, and diving deeper into a dream/mind!

As the final critique, I found the controls a bit slow, as it was pretty frustrating returning back because of exploring a passage with nothing in it.

A very cool game, with some sides to polish, but a great starting idea! Keep it up!

I liked the low poly aesthetic of the game, and how the aura of the level changed as I went deeper! However, I felt like the game was too bland. There wasn't much to interact with, and the movement was too sluggish. Since the game is more exploration focused, I think it could have benefited from having controls which made it quicker to navigate the labyrinth. Overall, nice job.

Congrats for the submission, it visually looks so attractive and suits well together. I would like the gameplay to be a little more smooth. Good game so far!

I like the first quest where you search the clothes, but the game itselft its like a big labyrinth and some zones are buged

Well done :D  It's polished and the mechanics work fine, I encountered just a bug somewhere diving deeper, because  I couldn't swim anymore upwards(?) I have no time to finish it now, but I'll for sure!

Nice job! This was very impressive for one week! The gameplay is great and the graphics look very nice.

This is a lot of work for one person! I liked the graphics and overall feel of the game, very crisp especially at the beginning. Finding the scuba pieces instead of giving them automatically was a good choice. The movement underwater was a little slow, I feel like it could have been even twice as fast. I also got stuck at one point and had to restart. It was after the gate and where he said "Should I go even deeper?" or something, then I went left and left and couldn't go back up. Other than that hiccup, the transition at the end was fun and the gun was VERY satisfying. Overall you did a great job and you should feel proud!

Hey pretty solid game for a solo dev! I did run into a repeatable bug area that stopped me from progressing, but played it again and got past it. I liked shooting the fish, the gun was a lot of fun! Aside from the bug I think my only criticism is that it takes a little too long to get into the meat of the game, and I think finding keys and shooting fish is more engaging gameplay than having to get your gear and get to the dive spot. I really liked that the audio and visuals changed as you got to deeper areas, great design choice. 

Unfortunately I didn't have time to complete it but if you want some more in-depth feedback you can check out my gameplay video playthrough here:

I played the full game, so I'm gonna be a bit critical, hope you don't mind :).
First of all the style of the game is great, nice graphics and the part above the water was fun, collecting your gear and the turotial buttons in the world.
But the game itself was a bit slow, it could be a whole lot shorter, either by creating a smaller map or having double the movementspeed. I get that it is to explore, but there is not much rewarding for exploring, which makes it more frustrating then fun. The thing that kept me going was the suspense towards the ending, but in the end it was just a dream haha. For me that was kind of a bummer, but I think that is more personal.
One last thing is to maybe have a danger sign at the downwards paths where the fish swim. because they are almost imposible to dodge if you don't know the first time, making you respawn all the way back.

Really like the game mechanics!! There was one part of the game that is bugged where I couldn't go up, so I had to completely restart

Other than that, cool story and I really love the camera angle on the first part of the game!!

Very creepy game, although I will say that I wish it was more clear where to go.

our games are quite similar in two ways lol. U start above the water before diving in for example. Loved the graphics and the fact the controls were shown in the game. The audio worked well here. I think the under water graphics could be improved. Nice work though 👏 

Deeper through the sea!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

1. Graphics look nice and clean!
2. The story felt good! I enjoyed it alot.
3. Overall game mechanics felt nice, I enjoyed the scuba diving the most.

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

1. I noticed when swimming your character sinks down really fast, I would like it if the character had less gravity so you have more of a floating feel.
2. I recommend fixing some colliders, because the character got stuck a bit at the beginning, it seems like the colliders where to big for the character to walk up.

Overall 📓

This game was pretty fun, I enjoyed my time playing, great job! I cant wait to see you make more games in the future!

Loved the trailer you made for youtube. It is nice to see an opening. Also ambience was cool. Giving a shotgun to a diver ? I think you let the intrusive thoughts win :D Good job overall !

Awesome game!  I love ambient sound under sea, low poly art fits perfectly. I enjoyed playing it a lot!

This game is really good, I played multiple top down games, and despite this one not having much top down scenes, you implemented it well, the player would move with the direction of input unlike the other games I played 😂.

As for the diving part it was good, I believe after the jam you could improve on it more, I am imagining more like a ragdoll movement I don't know why.

There were parts that could have used some cutscenes, for example in the first level when you reach the blue flag, suddenly the scene switched and the path I came from disappeared if not for the player prompt I would have thought it glitched.

It would be nice to maybe have like camera shake and animate a rock moving down or maybe zoom to the player and then zoom out boom there is a rock 😂 

Also, some objects had no collider? there was a part where I was diving through the rock or under it not sure 😆, but it didn't really affect the gameplay or anything, just mentioned it, if you plan to make a full game out if.

Nevertheless you did an amazing job for the duration of the jam!!

Pretty good game. The swimming was too slow for my taste but other than that I loved it.

The developer did a great job, the game is very good. I like the implementation of the character's multilogs, I like the game design. The soundtrack is very cool, it gives the atmosphere of diving into the ocean. All in all, a very good project.

Great tutorial sequence, like that a lot. Swimming felt tedious at times, but when got the shotgun things changed, should have done that earlier. Good entry in all regards!

Interesting idea! Thank you for giving the player the shotgun, that gave me the boost I needed to get to the end.
