I expected some kraken or other sea monster to be lurking down there for me.
Congrats!
Some things to consider to make the game harder would be
- The deeper you go the more pressure your ship experiences and if it doesn't have a strong enough hull it starts deteriorating. This would incentivize me to buy hull (which I didn't need to to finish the game).
- Add moving obstacles to make the light mechanic more important. I was pretty much able to avoid everything without needing to ever upgrade my light. If something snuck up from behind me then I'd find more value in having an aura of light around.
@eonarheim @tengusheath @testudor @silkypantsdan Reading your comments I realize the game feels easy. Sadly I didn't have time for the suggested features, but I definitely could have tweaked the settings that I already have in place. I just left so little time for game balance play testing.
@juanj7 Thanks for playing and for the suggestion.
@kaleido @panurge @kingofnova @jason-harris Thanks for playing and the good words.
I'm looking forward to playing all of your games. GL all.
Overall a good game, good job.
congrats for your entry!
