Nice graphics, good work on the textures in such a short time. Ambience would be even cooler with more underwater ruins, if you're wanting to pick this up and work on it after the jam.

This game was stellar, I can't imagine how anyone could pull off such stunning visuals in such a short amount of time. It was particularly fun to exit the map and swim underneath everything, thanks for allowing me to do that.

I enjoyed the rhythm of swimming up to get a good view then diving down to find the doodads. Good use of Unity terrain too.

Brilliant! Really great atmosphere. For some reason it reminds me of the Mako phase of the first Mass Effect, but under water!! And thank's for the game idea, I'll start working on this "Flappy consultant" theme as soon as LD voting is over XD

I liked the texturing on the ocean floor. Really impressive work for 24 hours.

I love the graphic and mood. by the way, I'm not sure what you wanted to tell players... somewhat difficult.

I like the graphics, the starfish adds a lot to the gameplay and are not just simple.

Great mood, I liked sea stars which give you the right way if you are lost =)
You should have randomize the name of the game at the end ;)

Awesome. Can't belief you did this in 48 hours and it's your first ludum dare as well :) Great job, bonus points for theme, graphics and mood!

That's awesome. The graphics are great, and the gameplay is great too. My new game "The flappy consultant" will be amazing :p
It's a good idea !

Felt a bit empty. Understandable if it's made in 24hours.
Gfx was pleasant and starfish was my favorite.

The graphics are nice and make me want to explore the world. The mood feels a little off with the timer; am I supposed to be appreciating the beautiful world or running around as fast as I can looking for idea orbs? I'm also not sure how the whole game development thing connects to being underwater and starfish but hey, for 48 hours it looks and sounds stellar. Maybe the ending could give a randomized game name idea for a little more of a fun “prize” for playing the game all the way through.
