How does you game fit the theme?
You are a deep sea exploration drone. Explore the ocean and collect samples for analysis - but you may not be alone.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

Fun game and relaxing. I enjoyed playing it!
Loved the visuals and the UI. The audio used was also really good. Gameplay wise, I do think it can be improved by expanding on the mechanics you have currently implemented. I think you have a solid foundation to build on and I would be keen to see where this goes. Good job!
Wow Fantastic creative game.
There's a really nice feel to this game, and it's nice to see another underwater themed entry!
It wasn't initial clear what the objective was, and the tools took some working out (I think the laser should be click-to-activate). A minimap would also be nice, but I realise that you probably had things like this planned.
Great work in all, I hope you continue to develop it!
This has such a great atmosphere. Even though it's unfinished, there's lots of potential for interactions with the environment. Very clean graphics and sound design. Nice work!
Color spectrum galore!
Perhaps what drew me into this game's world was the combination of the graphics and choices in the color spectrum; super pleasant to look at! Great choices!
Game mechanics have some room for improvement, obviously, but what's here is already great and very promising -- I'd super look forward to future updates. Great job!
P.S. Please consider checking out and rating my horror adventure game -- I think you might like it!
MMmmmmmmh, I don't get it? I got all the sample, but what am I supposed to do with it?
The controls are great (even if I don't know why would I turn off the lamp and the laser thing xD), I like the atmosphere and the graphical art, all the little details with the bubbles and fishes adds to the environment, but I'm puzzled. I feel like it could be an awesome exploration game. Am I missing something ?
Thanks SpicyFrog.
I just ran out of time and was trying to implement too much during the jam, but I'll probably continue to tinker with it. Turning on/off the various tools will eventually create an impact in the environment - some creatures will run away, some creatures might come after you, etc.
I'm still wondering if I should make the player "click" to shoot the laser or keep it as is. I might try it out.
I checked out your game too, it was awesome!
Thank you =)! I'm looking forward to try an updated version of your game!
Good game, could you please rate my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1680919 ?
Hello. Its not quite clear what we have to do (after collecting the samples what is it that we do next?). Though, the visuals looks awesome! I liked the bubbles and lightning, fish are kinda just doing their own thing. Also, is there something lurking down there?
Very good game design, interesting theme and good graphics. I like it. Also check me and my friends game too: https://kapodev.itch.io/hurry
Level design and exploration was fun.
I love the visuals and music, but Im not quite sure what to do in this game :D What does the third utility do?
