The graphics and lights look awesome. Shooting and grabbing was difficult, but its just because the controls worked so odd that I couldn't spin it correctly.

This is great. This gives me the same vibes as Barotrauma which is one of my favorites. Mixing action with horror is a difficult thing to pull off but you have done a wonderful job of that here.

Everything is better with sound :)
The game gfx is really good. But in the small window I did not see that a lot of enemies were right behind me. There was not really an indicator that something hit me.
I liked a lot how you used light and darkness. Good mood. I love Godot. ExtraPoint for this :)

Atmosphere is very nice, but controlling is a bit difficult. Good job!

@sviborg yes, and no. I'm not that good at drawing, it's mostly compilation of different objects like lamps, stained glass window, brass pipes and contraptions with a little touch of ai

@sayeg thank you!

cool idea. if you add more scary sea creatures, then the Barotrauma vibe appears. cool

was kinda hard to aim exactly at a enemy. unless its just a web artifact. also need some feedback when an enemy is hit and dies.

Those controls made it really hard to aim and maintain position. Art is great!

Nice game! The "I'm stuck at the bottom of the ocean and have to fend for myself" vibe was spot on.

Nailed the atmoshpere! Graphics are great and lights are on point. Really nice game :)

Neat game! I was hoping there would be different kinds of enemies, but the escalation was good. I feel like the atmosphere would have been really helped by some music. The art was really cool.

Very atmospheric game, great graphics, it was hard to hit the target and there was not enough sound. Thanks for this experience
