- Definitely found it too difficult/impossible to complete!
- Enjoyed jumping out of bounds!
- Really enjoyed the vibe and graphics - fish people and lighting were fantastic/terrifying!
Well done team!
But all that said, the vibes were great and surprisingly intricate. The pressure of checking the oxygen meter and weighing whether or not I can afford to fight really came across, and the visuals had a great juxtaposition of cute little dudes against a dingy monster-filled sewer. I don't think I'm explaining myself well, but it hit me in just the right way.
I found it too difficult to the extent that I could not even remotely finish the level.
Jumping around, ideally not out of the level, helped a bit with evading the Fishpeople but ultimately they always got me.
They be evil!
The presentation, nevertheless, was great. The long fish faces and moody light setup blend well together with the bassy backing tracks.
Well done !
