The Itch.io links to a 404 page :(

Game not found

404:(

Hey guys sorry about that forgot to set the page to public, Its fixed now!

@hurp @lrdjj @sagamore

Liked background audio and sounds at all, but interactions with orb are strange, i can't stay too close to extract it, and i've absolutely not understood how collect resources and take upgrades.

Interesting atmosphere, I enjoyed killing fish. Not sure where to go, got 1 amethyst

@oeuegha to mine the resources go over to one of the 5 types and then hold down on Left mouse button until they break, once done you can extract them by returning to the top of the map from anywhere (that being -10 depth or higher) which will bring you back to the upgrade menu and extract your resources!

@ronalchue Glad you enjoyed it, there isn't a specific place to go just to explore the map and get the upgrades!

Excellent sounds and graphics. Magnifique

Really love the atmosphere, music is super creepy!
I think you should add a crosshair so you can see easier where the harpoon is going to shoot. The fish were quite hard to hit. Also maybe somewhere in the HUD that shows what resources I collected so I don't need to pull up the upgrade menu

great work :thumbsup:

At first, I thought this was mainly a diving and collection game, but the moment I got into the game and heard the BGM, I was like "No good, this is a horror game", joking lol. Overall, the theme and vibe are really solid, I really enjoyed it! That said, I think the feedback for collecting and shooting could maybe use a bit more polish. But hey, for a three-day jam, this is a pretty impressive piece!

This is the original game (subnautica devs just copied all mechanics). All jokes aside, this is a solo prawn suit simulator. Got mad at fish for trying to gulp me lol

A really creepy mood, nice!

Harpooning fishes is hard. :P Managed to get one fish.

Either direction spread is too big, or it only works properly in certain facing directions.

Gave me Subnautica prawn suit vibes. Very atmospheric and tense.
Critiques
-------
- I never managed to hit a fish, a targeting crosshair would be helpful.
- was there a certain action needed to pick up resources? I'd mine them and they'd fall apart, but I never seemed to pick them up and have nothing in my inventory when I returned to the surface
- there seemed to be some issue with the transparency on the seaweed plants

Overall I really liked it though.

Wow this is really fun! Very atmospheric! Really simple and really good, great gameplay loop! The sounds are perfect for increasing the tension. Maybe could have been more satisfying to collect rocks and kill creatures (a little SfX and maybe some screenshake).

Hit a bug where the menu would repeatedly reappear, resetting the run.
