Wow. So pleased I actually completed this one. There were times when I was sure I would be nowhere near, but somehow, I made it. The timelapse will say a lot more than I can about this process but rest assured it was unique and experimental. This shit will be documented.

This is great! Love the exploration, and the music fits really well :)

Really really beautiful. Sorrowful and solitary. Well done!

Thank you for the standalone builds; the webplayer was running really badly on my computer.

Lovely graphics, nice little pod with fun water drilling motion. But I never really understood the controls nor the O2 mechanics. I found it easiest to continue below the surface without O2 and hard while having O2. It also ran out so very quickly.

Air-pockets, sharks and more of that to make it into a full game. But really nice start.

Have been playing this one longer than any other game so far.

Really great excecution. I like that you can just stay underwater until your O2 runs out and then shoot to the surface. Really really good. Visuals are great as well.

Very good game! The music is fantastic. It reminds me a bit of World of Goo's soundtrack. Well done!

Very well done. Fit the theme perfectly, great graphics, awesome sound.

Nice graphics and very fitting music!

Great game, but O2 run out quicly, and turning is a little slow

I think the great graphics really stand out. The controls and the dive system were lots of fun. but I kept smashing by dive thing. I just love the look, though.

Great lighting and style. The music was very nice too!

Awesome game and awesome sound!

Awesome style and mood. Simple game, but everything seemed to come together. Not often 48 hour games manage to pack in neat graphics, sound and music like this. One of the best so far :)

Nice atmosphere with the sounds and visuals. You really did a great job on that one !

Wow talk about nailing the mood! Well done for creating such a slick and polished game.

I'm wondering why the O2 has to charge up on the surface instead of instantly refilling. It makes diving a bit tedious as you have to sit there holding up before you can dive again.

Fun! I like how you're propelled upward after running out of O2, and how you have to get your research back after crashing.

Difficult! Or I'm just really bad at it. Bloody gorgeous though

Nice complete feeling. Good atmosphere!

It's too easy to die and gets frustrating to lose all money.
I dig the art style and unique controls.
badlydrawnrod29 Apr 2014, 21:20
Some excellent touches in there - the lighting, the underwater effect, the bubbles and the rain. Everything comes together to make a satisfying game.

Very cool. +5 graph +5 sound +5 mood

Really enjoyed playing this! The art style and music were superb and the game fit the theme very well! Admittedly though I don't think I should ever be put in charge of submersible in real life based on this experience!

A very fun game with great sounds, nice graphics, and solid gameplay. I would buy this.

Wanted to try compiling it for Linux, but the source link is dead. Have you tried porting to Linux yet?

This game is so awesome! I love and have always loved these sort of games (finding stuff, upgrading, finding more stuff). I hope there is more of these games!
Dramentiaras3 May 2014, 18:06
Looks beautiful! It's really fun to play and the musics fits perfectly. Played soooo much! The animation is great.
jsspiegel3 May 2014, 21:30
Really fantastic game, all the little visual touches make it so great! The music and risk/reward system are amazing as well!
bob_fish4 May 2014, 03:57
Very nice, found a the controls slightly annoying at times but overall very nice!
Cake&Code4 May 2014, 21:28
I don't know what it is about seeing somewhere you can't go yet, eventually upgrading, and then finally being able to brave the new areas that is so exciting and rewarding but it was a ton of fun.

Awesome execution too, my only wish is that you could build up more speed when rising from the depth enough to jump over a rock on the surface :D

Holy crap, how did you get so many plays on kongregate?
CodeNMore6 May 2014, 21:39
Fun game, well made!

Very nice job. Outstanding music, and the visual are very nice. Controls are tight. This is a great job for 48hrs.
GeorgeBroussard10 May 2014, 12:14
I went back and finished it. Wasn't sure there was an ending, but the game deserved to be played. I had 5,000 in 3 categories and was running out of coins. Finally found an object underwater and swam into it.

Great game!

Finally hit the ending! Awesome game

I really enjoyed this game - it ate about 45 minutes to an hour of my time, which is really an accomplishment. Simple and addicting. With some expansion, I'd easily pay $5 for it.

It always gives me a error when i try to get it :(
