I had fun searching for the three fishes. Last one was scary^^

Great concept, with more fish and things like caves to explore, it could make for a great chill type of game.

The artwork is really good!

I love the thumbnail pic but.. the game is not like it?
Sound is a bit off and makes my headphones sound like they are broken in some places
Gameplay is confusing for me

Hi! Love the title work! I would like to play more of the game, but I don't have a middle mouse button as I use a laptop. Perhaps also mapping a key to taking photos may help?

Very relaxing, the sound design works well and I liked how the pictures appears in the end :) Since the instructions said to press the mouse button to dive, I understood that I had to keep holding it, but then I saw that was just to rotate the light source. It would be nice to know when I reached the bottom of the sea, I kept going down for a while, until all that kept appearing were angular fish. If the fish could damage your vehicle, that could also make the game more interesting. Nevertheless it was enjoyable, well done!

I got a little lost at the beginning, I was not going down. Cool concept, it would be neat if maybe the fish chase you. Really cool looking picture at the end.

I really like the idea. The fish look quite scary, which is very fitting. I would have liked to have the goal of the game and the controls written on the initial screen. I tend to play first and read the description later and as such it took me a while to get what is going on. Keep up the good work!

Your game has a great atmosphere. The music is kind of soothing and that it gets darker and darker is really cool!
The fish with their soulless eyes look scary.

That first fish in the deep really gave me a heart attack, good job! The final pictures also look really cool.

Love the atmosphere and premise in this game. Normally I hate games where you're groping in the dark, but this one uses darkness really effectively to make it a game mechanic (using the light/flashbulb to search for fish). I also love that you can see your album at the end. I do wish that it was more apparent from the start that you dive by putting your cursor below the window (I think? this was the only way I could get it to dive since holding the left button just turned the light) so my first few runs were spent only in that starting area. Otherwise this was a great game with a creative take on the theme.

We had a really similar idea (and the name too) but the execution is rather different and yours is very great, good job!
Are you also looking very much forward to pokemon snap ? ^^

Nice game! Very Pokemon-Snap-y, but I like it. A background reef or something would make it complete.

Nice sound design, unique concept. Taking pics of fish! Who would have thought of that!

The sounds are nicely done! I really liked the encounters with the angler fish! I wonder if there is a limit to how far I could go? I dived down and down and I wasn't able to reach a bottom. The way the light turned and using the mouse to turn was a nice touch! Definitely love the concept, great work!
