Looks intriguing, but the text is a bit hard to read, and the interface is a bit hard to parse? I'm not sure what's killing me (are the glowing cyan blobs sharks that are eating me)? Some sound effects or visual juice to make the mechanics more obvious might help.

Interesting premise! I like the general gameplay and it definitely has a lot of potential! Some particle effects may be nice as to indicate more clearly which objects do what. Nice submission overall!

Nice idea, but execution needs improvement. Like Cyborg Studio said, the UI is hard to read, and the oxygen level, which needs to be way more visible, is depleting very quickly, which would cause one to wonder what are they doing wrong.

@cyborg-studio @moddingmachine @magna @kr0s Appreciate the feedback! If you saw the state of this game 4 hours before deadline compared to finished version ye would be shocked. Ill admit that UI was the debug screen. I forgot to add the UI elements! That was not supposed to be visible at all haha

The lack of audio and visual cues for things like oxygen make it extremely confusing.

The graphics are nice but I'd like to see a bit more clarity in things like oxygen providers, I couldn't find any on my first dive but maybe I just confused them with sellable pickups?

Oxygen timer felt very short. The upgrade system seems cool but being limited to 3 runs removes the roguelike feeling from it.

@fireslash Thanks for the feedback. The oxygen pickups were just all three of the sellable pickup sprites mashed together so it was quite confusing.

Cool game, the oxygen runs out a little fast though. Nice artwork, it's a pity there's no sound.

A nice little diving adventure! Would have liked to have the camera keep the player in the center of the screen, cause I found myself bonking my head too often on stuff I couldn't anticipate. OUCH!

The idea is great. It would be nice to see some indicator where You need to go, to go to surface and bank all the gold You got.
While pressing space multiple times, the diver got yeeted in the wall and couldn't do anything.

It needs a bit of polish, especially for the UI. I struggled a bit to figure out where to click and read the text, especially while diving. Pretty cool idea, I like the fact that you have multiple divers with their own stats!

It looks good and I like the idea of it. There are some improvements that would help the game, mostly making the UI easier to read.
