Neat game. I love the little additions that make it feel really polished - like the glare on the screen, and super fluid submarine movement.

Wow, somewhat we have a bit similiar games xd. Quality of all game features is outstanding. Though I wish there were something more than just mining. Great job, thank you for the game!

The game is amazing, I loved the mood of it. I finished collecting everything. I wish there was something else to do, also after I collected everything and docked, it only showed like a "vault" with all the stuff and would not let me do anything (apparently the game has the win condition programmed but no actions or text appear there). Brilliant game though, you could expand this into a purchase worthy game if you add more variation, things to do, hazards, etc. Congrats

Nice game, the mood felt great and the graphics was really good. The movement also felt fluid. Like others said I wish there was more to do as you max out the upgrades pretty fast. Good job on the game!

Nice game,
It feel really well with the theme.
I love the UI that make me really feel inside the submarine.
I would love to have a higher volume of ambiance sound.

Nice job! The main mechanic was fun, but as others mentioned I wish there were a something more (a hazard or another objective). I found one large patch of minerals near the station and it was enough to full upgrade everything. The UI as part of the submarine was really well done.

Nice game. I like how you did the UI.
It would have been nice to be able to inspect your cargo without going back the dock.
There are so many crystals around to pick up, you don't really need to explore at all to win the game.
It froze up on me when I returned after acquiring everything.

Never has traveling leagues under the sea sounded and looked so nice. Very smooth and nicely done game play and controls
