A mysterious and possibly dangerous creature is rumored to exist in these waters. You have been tasked with investigating these rumors. Probe the creature to determine it's threat level by running into it. You have NO WEAPONS. Good luck!
An interesting way to make a maze, but it gets a bit boring after a while. Could do with better graphics, or at least changing the color of the ground as it is too close to the color of the water and after playing for a while it strains your eyes.
Was the world supposed to be the monster? I played for a long time waiting for something to happen and something never did. It's a shame, the idea of chasing rather than running away from huge monsters is always a fun thing to make into a game.
Clearly the ocean is huge. I was diving around for at least 3 minutes, but didn't come across anything but water and land. Some indication of where to go or something else to look at/do would've been nice.
I only read that the shortest way was to go straight ahead at the end, but didn't feel like going through the experience again.
The graphics remind me of those old Atari games where you can't really tell what the sprites are supposed to be... Also, I swam over about a hundred screens and never found anything?
I couldn't find the creature, unfortunately. It needs a radar, and either make the area smaller or put more things (like hazards, minor enemies) in it.
I like the idea of exploring a large area for ponderous creatures, and once I got the idea of the screenshake it added some neat atmosphere; I just wish there was more to find and look at while playing.
I searched and searched but couldn't really find anything making it a bit of a boring experience ;( Perhaps make the monster "cheat" and find the player more frequently or what ever he does, or adding other items or fish could make it interesting?
A nice idea but sadly there's not much to it yet. I presume that's mostly due to time constraints and missing engine knowledge though. But what I liked was the ending which is so in contrast to the monster you just probed :D
I really like the idea of exploring and particularly the idea of probing the creatures. I think this is a good start and a really interesting idea that could grow into something awesome and unique.
I know it's not there now but I can see there being a really cool art style to go with this too and really nice music to soothe you through the game.
@xhunterko: I sent BitDefender mail about that and according to VirusTotal they've cleared the malware rating after a re-analysis :) Thanks for telling me about this!

I couldn't really figure out what to do. I think this is a case where I feel like if the world was smaller, it would've been easier for me to feel like I knew where I was going. Or maybe a 'ping' mechanic? It's got a nice 2600 vibe, though, so I dug simple graphics.
Can that be fixed I forget?
