Should mention that everything is made using AI except the code. Author should put that somewhere as to not deceive players.

Aw hell yeah, I love upgrade games!! Felt super satisfying to get progressively deeper and deeper, and watching my gold go up. The blurry Morshu in the shop broke me.

@fupi Thanks for playing! Morshu was added as a placeholder, but we decided to leave it in after seeing how funny it was.

I wasn't ready for the shop animation 😂 I liked the mechanics and the upgrade system, and it's pretty satisfactory to see the rope pushing you back. Maybe an upgrade that allows for faster returns to the surface would be nice, especially in deeper areas. Overall, it was a fun experience, nice work!

@pabloa31 Thanks for Playing! Diving bell speed upgrade was planned, but we didn't have any time left to implement it...

Love the concept and the gameplay! Also the grapics, even if simple, are really nice and work perfectly for the game.
THe only thing I feel like that could have been better where if I could refund old units do regain some of my resources. Oh, and the music, while not bad, doesn`t really fit the feel of the game, maybe something more sinister ? But maybe that`s just prefrence.
Overall really nice :D

Very meditative game, good sounds and not distracting visuals. Sometimes it can feel drawn out, I want a little more action. But swimming feels nice

Great game! The gameplay loop is simple but efficient :) It's satisfying to go back to first area with your longer rope and see new things.
The things a little annoying is the music, it's a little bit too repetitive and doesn't really fit the atmosphere.
However, it was a great experience ! Thank you :)

A very exquisite game! However, when I saw that it was modified by AI, I still felt a bit disappointed. However, it is still a good game!
