Salvage the treasure and surface before oxygen is running out. Beware of evil tentacles!

Move your submarine with WASD. Grab treasure by lowering the hook (left mouse), grapping (middle mouse), and pulling the hook up (right mouse).

Alternative controls: Arrow keys to move and f/g/h for hook

Very nice ! The graphics are impressive, the fishes all moving together, the hook mechanic, really interesting !

Nice game! Really liked it after learned how to control things. Would love to see it turned in a full product.

Congrats

Interesting game. I loved digging treasure out of piles of rock!

It's a nice entry, although a bit clumsy with controls. Fishes are impressive, and the idea is kind of fun. Too many rocks, tho!

Well Done. the sfx of the oxygen level or hull being low (the droning pulse) is a great sound. i want it.

This was actually pretty awesome, loved the atmosphere in this, and the game was simple but still pretty addicting.

Could've done with a music track though

Surprising amount of fun. I thought it was awesome when the grappling hook whipped back and destroyed me :P. It does damage to you if you just pull it in too far, too, though.

hooking mechanism was a liitle hard, but nice idea and nice mood. the arms grabbing you were really good :)

Nicely stylised graphics and I like the hooking mechanism. It's a shame you can't pull the purple creatures out of the ground!

On the web version, right click keeps bringing up the context menu. It's also really hard to see what, if anything, I have grabbed until I pull it to me, especially when the gold is buried amidst rocks.

@Empyrealhell: That seems to be a bug with itch.io :( Until I find a workaround, you can use the alternative controls: Arrow keys and F/G/H to control the hook.
