The core gameplay is very solid, but it needs some rebalancing to really shine. It would be nice if the movement was faster, and the sharks really start to add up after a while. Maybe it would be more fun if, instead of tracking you, the obstacles moved in fixed patterns? Or perhaps some obstacles that are fixed while one tries to track you down?","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":846737,"author_name":"Gildar76","author_uid":"gildar76","epoch":1664827907,"text":"@quinn-patrick THanks. I wanted the movement a bit slow to feel more \"under water\". I agree on the balancing part.  I was thinking about disable the shark follow behaviour last minute, but ended up not doing it.

I enjoyed playing this one, and the risk reward of getting that extra clam but hoping a bubble would spawn. I agree with the movement could be a bit quicker - I think you could balance it out the lower impact of gravity to keep it feeling floaty and underwater. Great work for 48 hours!
