All the wide-open spaces (and the camera not scrolling until you get near edges) amount to not the most fun exploring experience. It felt like luck whether I stumbled across something or not in the great wide open.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
The level design was the rushed part so the main discovery is really easy to miss. I want to fix it up later, and I'll try and improve the scrolling and make the depth charges affect enemies.
This is what you missed: The black creature has an underground lair that you can only get to with the depth charges. In it are a few more of them and a crashed spaceship, which is my highly original way of implying that you have discovered aliens.
***END SPOILERS***
At the first fish onslaught I thought the whole ocean would be like this. Thank god it wasn't :)
Found the doctor and depth charges, thanks to your spoiler also the space ship. When you respawn, do you have to find things again? 'cause the message triggers didn't work the second time after I got killed.
Found the doctor, no sign of the black creature though. After I realized that the level just wraps around on the left and right sides I gave up :P
Nifty game for ten hours :P
