It's a really cool idea and I love the ocean theme.\n\nI thought the art was great, the models were very well done. I also like the variety in the corals, it was a nice touch that added a lot of life to the game.\n\nI had a lot of trouble getting past 3 minutes because the sharks were very challenging to deal with. It's hard to figure out that a shark exists until after it has already attacked you, perhaps some sort of alert system would be nice so the player would have a little bit of time to react. \n\nAdding bullet particles to the game would also help it feel a lot more interactive. Without anything shooting out of the gun, it didn't feel very immersive to me.\n\nAs a side note, the tutorial at the beginning was a really nice touch, it helped me jump into the game instantly!\n\nOverall it was a very enjoyable experience and a fresh interpretation of the theme. Great work! :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Justin_C","author_uid":"1006738","time":"2020-04-20T23:33:29Z","epoch":1587425609,"modified":1587425609,"text":"Interesting idea.

I like the idea but I will suggest some changes:\n - I loved the tutorial, but let me pass the \"pages\" with a used button in-game such as space or the mouse click, it is weird to use the Enter and then to switch to ASDW+mouse\n - There are TOOOOOO much sharks at the beginning, it will be awesome if the ratio is increasing depending on the amount of plants in your reef\n - as @quichi pointed, having an alert systems for the sharks before they get you it will be awesome and particles will help a lot feel more the environment\n\nAwesome job in art!! And I love that the LD46 theme applies twice to this game as you need to save yourself and the reef xD","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ROBOWARRIOR1982","author_uid":"1082891","time":"2020-04-23T14:28:15Z","epoch":1587652095,"modified":1587652095,"text":"Good ambient, i like this low poly art, nice idea.

I was confused at first by the shadows, especially from the sharks, and I think you need more sounds for a shark biting me, so I know if something is behind me, and more of a spark when you shoot so I know that something has happened.

I like that the setting is something we dont see that often. Underwater and protecting a reef that you build is a really good idea. I think there are lots of ways to take this and expand on it in fun ways, so you definitely have a strong base. It was for sure really hard at the start before I realized the spawning was fixed in an order, then it was just about constantly killing the enemies and if I could sneak in planting a plant. But once you planted them all it would just be repetitive killing in the same pattern. Overall good job!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SpreadsheetLover","author_uid":"1187986","time":"2020-05-10T18:07:16Z","epoch":1589134036,"modified":1589134036,"text":"Graphically, very well done, the models are lovely and lit well, you even did waves at the surface!
