​Climb aboard your yellow submarine to discover the depths of the ocean and take the opportunity to take beautiful pictures with your camera.
Be careful your battery is not infinite but fortunately you thought to take a dynamo to recharge it.

Good luck and have fun!​

Haha very cool! Our game has a lot of the same fish! Little dark, but kind of makes sense haha :)

My girlfriend had a blast playing your game although she only managed to capture 11 out of 12. As a sidenote the battery charge can go way beyond the menu frame. Good work.

I found this really cool-looking fish, thanks for making this game :)

I had fun playing this game. I really liked the atmosphere, I think that with some risk factor that game would be divine. good work

Hi, neat game you've made. I liked the graphics and music. What bothered me a bit was the darkness, I know that it is main game mechanic, but I felt really lost and there were no fish (or I didn't see them), maybe incorporating some kind of radar/sonar mechanic to help me with directing my light would be cool and I might enjoy your graphics a little longer

Oh wow, that was unexpectedly catchy! Didn't actually think it would be so interesting and intriguing to peek at different creatures in pitch black waters. And the general vibe is really soothing.
Great job, enjoyed it a lot.

A fun little game, nicely done. It got dark so fast that I was expecting a jumpscare hehe

The atmosphere is amazing! The graphics are cute, well put together and the game mechanics well designed and implemented. And it even has replay-potential, :thumbsup:

That's a very good game ^^

WOW MAN!! Crazy how similar our games turned out to be :b Your game is AWESOME! I love the music, fits so well and enhances the mood very well. The art is amazing and your picture-taking-mechanics work very very well! I just wanted to collect all the different fish! Very nice. :v:

I liked the deep-sea aesthetic, and I'm a sucker for low-light ambiance :p. Solid game you got here, simple but tight. Major Pokemon Snap vibes, but taking inspiration isn't a bad thing. Well done!

I really like this, fits the theme nicely.
It's good how it gets darker the deeper you are and it's cool to have a camera instead of a harpoon :)

The flash effect when you take the picture of yourself was a nice touch and made me smile. Overall the game is super nice, the mood is on point, visuals and audio also. Great game to just chill while playing. Kudos!

Nice game owerall. I like that game have many small details like flashing yourself, fish comments and other.

P.S. yeah, we have similar game idea :smile: We were inspired by old java game about fish photographing

Great Game!!! I really like the ideia of take pictures on the deep ocean creatures!!
it has the potential to do a lot of cool things. Good Job!!!

The sound usage was really .I know that you didn't make it but it was nice to hear those dynamo lamp sound again ^^ . The comment and the fact that you can flash yourself was nice details. Almost missed on one fish but managed to get 7325 point and all fish would be curious how much you can get maximum ^^

The ambient sound was a really nice piece! The fact that it's peaceful by taking pictures without harming the environemnt is a great touch. When you like a flower take a picture; don't rip it out.

The atmosphere of the music is great, but when it reaches a certain depth it's hard to see things clearly, maybe the light area can get a little bigger

Chill and enjoyable experience. Fun to play multiple times looking for more fish. Also, high marks for innovation! I don't think I've played a Ludum Dare game like this before.

Nice game!

The idea of taking pictures was one of our plans, but I think you did it better than we ever could! The little sentences, the score and the "pokedex" all tie it together nicely.
Also all those drawings are very cute!

Thanks for the game I had a great time.

Thank you all for your compliments, it's nice to see that our game is appreciated by other people :) and also for your comments it's very useful! It's my first game jam, two months ago I didn't know what it was ^^ and it makes me want to do more!

The graphics and overall vibe are great, and it really feels like you're descending! It was cool how the pictures you took were saved and you could try and get all of them.

nice game prachic and music ,seem like you can do better in some details ,nice job :smile:

Trying to find similar games to mine and this one is really good. Again you did a way better job of implementing the scoring and taking pictures and the sound as well fits really well. Nice job.
ditam11 May 2021, 20:28
I really enjoyed the little touch where you could blind yourself by flashing too close :)
A very relaxing game, great atmosphere. Interestingly enough, this is the fourth game I've played where you have to take photos of the wildlife from a submarine, but it's still a very cool concept.
