Though i was kinda missing the steretypical \"PING\" sound.\n\nIt was pretty easy since after getting suprised once by the fast enemy i just super avoided them all. The map layout could have been litte more intresting.\n\nI really liked getting suprised by environmental props that werent in sonar, really made the \"exploring\" more mystical.\n\nThough the art is nice it little missmatches with the black sonar. The sea near you is wibrant but then there is completle darkness in sonar area. Either having the sonar be a lighter color (maybe even inverted so the ping borders are black etc) or having the sea be more dark. Now those 2 concepts fight eacheother, am i diving into a nice colorfull colar or a deep dark depths?\n\nWould love to see this as more full game!\n\n","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1124509,"author_name":"Outish","author_uid":"outish","epoch":1744040835,"text":"Nice concept here, but you really need to make the player hurtbox smaller as I died multiple times without even touching rocks\/jellyfish","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1145670,"author_name":"KafuuChino","author_uid":"kafuuchino","epoch":1744380849,"text":"Wonderful Game!
