Got stuck, I blew rocks into a tunnel and couldn't get through...

Otherwise, nice movement system and graphical style...

I really liked the visuals and the audio in this game. The sound gave it a really good underwater atmosphere.

I was doing well until I got to a bit with 2 black spray parts where I managed to shove the crab across but then I got stuck on the other side, and I couldn't figure out how to progress after that.

All in all a nice little game. Shame I got stuck and couldn't make it to the end.

The windows build doesn't work for me (windows 7). Once I get past the intro text, the sub just sits there. No mouse or keyboard presses make anything happen :(

Nice artworks and sound-design.
Also get stuck into walls in last level : http://past.is/zhGZ
But I reach the ending point and see the big fish (nice ending scene).

Really like the puzzles in this game. Too bad the sound of the engine was louder then the music. I did enjoyed myself while playing.

Neat little exploration game. Couldn't get very far because the rocks would get stuck on things very easily making it frusterating to advance. I liked the atmosphere, especially with the glowing objects in the darkness and the music.

I'm on OS/X and the DSV does not move for me either. I think the controls are not configured properly. Changing them in the setup screen does nothing to help. Fix this guys, so we can play your game!

Loved the graphics and audio. Played 6-7 times and got stuck on the snail/black jets at the bottom. Got past 3 of them and a phys bug had the 3rd tube putting the snail on the roof and I had no way to get past 4th. I really loved the mood here and just exploring. Would keep working on it and polish up the physics. Nice effort.

The graphics and sound design complemented each other very well, and created the scene for a nice underwater adventure.

The movement and air blasting mechanics were intuitive and enjoyable, although I did manage to get myself stuck in a plant because of the way the player's hitbox flips when you change direction.

Just played the fixed win7 build. Nice job! The audio and atmosphere here are great. It was really fun to just move around and explore, looking at all the neat stuff. I did manage to get stuck in the physics a few times, and moved out of the level completely once. You should fix up the colliders and release a post-compo version. Fun game! :)

Very nice graphics and pleasing gameplay. I got stuck where I couldn't get a shellfish to block a vent. It moved over it randomly at one point and I moved through, but then there was another vent right away.
