I really like this game. Exploring the sea with the sea life is relaxing and the scene is beautiful.
The low poly art style and wonky character work really well here. It took me a few minutes to get used to the movement but now I can navigate without issues.

The game looks beautiful!
The fish that swim around look so good with their nyan colors and waving swim!
The controls did take me a bit to figure out though.
Would have been nice if there was a bit more interaction, but time constraints really love to shrink games.

Wow! Beautiful game! You were right, that music was perfect to play alongside the game. I loved how you played as a shark piloting a submarine- wonder what the backstory to that character is XD

The fish crowds were seriously impressive and I have no idea how you made it work in such a short amount of time. Wonderful environment design- good job!! :v:

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on with the controls but once I did I was delighted. This should be the official BLÅHAJ game.:shark:

I love this game. I didn't expect it to instantly capture my heart upon loading, but it did. The shark in the submarine is so charming! I feel like I'm driving a little toy submarine around :) I also like the smoothness of the animations, like the sharks swim like ACTUAL SHARKS and the fish animations are so smooth and stylized that it's really nice to just sit and look at. Good job on the submarine animation as well! The bubbles were a nice touch. Another thing I liked was the idea of just exploring. I think this is a really nice game to play for anxiety because it's so relaxing. You just explore, swim around, and there's nice scenery to be explored.
Really great job and I look forward to seeing your work in the future! Shork :3

You both did awesome, There's great optimization in the game, the art style an animation is really well made, and the art style with it's simplicity is also adds to the games atmosphere which is amazing. The physics and small details were amazing too. I really appreciate how you went out of your way to make different files so they work on all the main operating systems. ^^

Less a game and more a shader showcase, but pretty impressive nonetheless! Looks very good, and I'd personally love to look at the source project to see how certain things were made.

also haha funny vtuber reference

The concept of a shark driving a sub is pretty great lol I really like your art style. I think moving the camera back a bit would have been nice. As it is, it's actually a little difficult to enjoy the environment because the camera is so close to the player.

Game is very beautiful but I didn't understand what do I need to do. Also controls is inconvenient. Better fix it. You can add player controlling speed and rotation dir of screw-propeller and direction of movement (like on the real submarines). It will add player fun from controlling of submarine.

I laugh of shark in submarine :)

Tried playing it but it looks like my computer isn't good enough. I was getting like 4FPS on the windows build :(

Very nice, really good use of minimal graphics for maximum effect, to the point where I kinda wish there was a first-person mode (unless there is one and I just missed it). Very chill.

Mwahahaha those little fishies cannot escape the wrath of the ***Shork***!! Really good graphics and fun gameplay, I loved submarine-ing around chasing the little fishies. I did notice that the project wasn't doing a mouse lock so once the mouse hit the edge of the screen I couldn't turn the camera any more that way. Not much of a problem with the helpful scroll zoom around to help.

I found the shark! Was that what I'm supposed to do? I was a bit lost, in many regards, as the controls were very tricky. I had to rely on the direction the bubbles from my propeller were floating (which is a nice touch) to tell which way was up.

I'm intrigued by the thought of a shark in a submarine. There are numerous games to pick from for enjoyment, but each individual, including myself, has various aspects that we like. https://basketball-stars.io is my favorite sport genre game since it has some of my favorite celebrities.
