Mariana Mining Co by ownedstuff
Upgrade your air supply to go deeper, upgrade your light to see the minerals deep down, a better hull to survive impacts and engine upgrades to go faster!

This game is heavily inspired by an old school game called motherload. We adapted the concept to a submarine.

I enjoyed it
Could be nice to have some feedback from the oxygen tank since this is definitly the most important thing to be aware of.
But it was stuttering during ascent and descent when passing somekind of border which made it hard to not collide against the rocks.
The pearls at the bottom are worth a lot! They were really profitable to get.
I did find a way to "cheat" a little bit to collect items faster than the grabber is supposed to, and I experienced many of the same issues as others have reported, but it never bothered or frustrated me.
As some feedback, try to make the UI bigger (looks like it's not scaling properly) and maybe adding some pulsing effects to show important information (like when you're running out of oxygen).
