Find the treasure in the depths of the ocean, but beware of the sharks!

Controls: WASD or Arrow keys to move
R to Restart and Tab to Quit

This is my first submission to a Ludum Dare (finally!). I came up with this idea some 24 hours before the deadline, so it certainly is missing some features, but I'm glad I finished this game! :)

All assets, music and programming was made by me, with the exception of the fonts(TextMeshPro), and a color palette texture by Imphenzia.

Congrats on a first submission! Really nice atmosphere! I think I accidentally swam through a wall the first time because I wound up under the chest somehow :)

The mood is great and the models are nice. Fits the theme.

I found an invisible wall near the cliff to the right that I got stuck in and had to restart the game.

Like alpharock6 mentioned I was also able to swim through the ocean floor somehow

@ayced @alpharock6 Thank you very much for reviewing! :) It does seem that I forgot to add colliders to certain parts in the game :/

Good job on your first LD!
The game was enjoyable even though it was pretty short.
Took me a few tries to get wise to the sharks. ;)

@joskerdu Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)

I found the treasure and only got eaten once. Excellent work for your first jam (and a late start too from the sounds of it)!

Great 3D graphics! :) loved the jaws theme too. good luck with the jam. you have a great entry

Those sharks are just gorgeous, don't know how I'm gonna haul the chest up with them blocking my only exit. :V

Great job concerning the short time you spend on it. Fun little diving game with a nice atmosphere. Ran into some clipping issues.

I FOUND IT !!
Nice game, liked the music popping when the shark approached :)

Xenobey27 Apr 2021, 11:14

Great concept but much room to grow in terms of game length :)
But considering you only had 24 hrs, it looks really promising and the design is very pretty.
Keep it up!

Very nice game! Cool atmosphere, colors, and art.
The game was a bit easy, but hey that was fun!

IdinaKloppstock27 Apr 2021, 11:43

The sharks are threatening but also kind of cute. :) I tried the zig zag method and it works (too) well. The treasure is mine! Nice entry. :)

I found the treasure! I outsmarted the sharks :D The music is great, it adds a lot of suspense when the sharks chase you. Love the graphics and how the water and rocks look. Great job! Had a lot of fun.

Brigadeirim27 Apr 2021, 15:32

Great game, cool graphics and cool atmosphere! I found the treasure :)

matthewi27 Apr 2021, 20:34

I found the treasure!! Super atmospheric game :)

Panzershrek28 Apr 2021, 09:26

Great atmosphere ! The shark chase music is kinda scary. Found the treasure. Great shark model

Ydrenor28 Apr 2021, 10:57

I like the atmosphere, nice graphics, the music works very well. It would have been nice to have to return with the treasure to the surface of the water, avoiding the sharks.

(also, the sound of the shark scared me ... xD)

MtWhateverestauthor28 Apr 2021, 13:33

@ydrenor Thank you very much! :) I wanted to have the player carry the treasure to the surface, but I unfortunately didn't have enough time. :/

ShaunJS29 Apr 2021, 15:08

Thank you for submitting! I hope my in-stream feedback was helpful!

As someone who does a lot of diving here in Hawaii, I felt spiritually connected to this game.

What a soothing, calming experience this beautiful little game is. The audio and graphics all fit beautifully. Short, but I had fun. Well done!! :)

OadT2 May 2021, 11:32

I like the music while a shark is chasing you and the look of the cliffs. Also very athmospheric music in general. I don't know why there is a quit button in a browser game but great work for 24 hours 😄

Okamit2 May 2021, 11:56

Nice little game, the cliffs are beautiful and the mood is just great!
good job!

Hey! Thanks for submitting the game for us to play on stream! Really great for a first submission. Great graphics and nice animations!

It would be cool to have some decorations on the sides instead of "transparent walls". Also would be awesome if you had some jokes if player tries to go into the wrong direction.

Great submission, keep doing games!

Here is a timed link to the stream:

Cute sharps, I like them :) Cool game for 24 hours!!
