@hurp @lrdjj @sagamore
@ronalchue Glad you enjoyed it, there isn't a specific place to go just to explore the map and get the upgrades!
I think you should add a crosshair so you can see easier where the harpoon is going to shoot. The fish were quite hard to hit. Also maybe somewhere in the HUD that shows what resources I collected so I don't need to pull up the upgrade menu
great work :thumbsup:
Harpooning fishes is hard. :P Managed to get one fish.
Either direction spread is too big, or it only works properly in certain facing directions.
Critiques
-------
- I never managed to hit a fish, a targeting crosshair would be helpful.
- was there a certain action needed to pick up resources? I'd mine them and they'd fall apart, but I never seemed to pick them up and have nothing in my inventory when I returned to the surface
- there seemed to be some issue with the transparency on the seaweed plants
Overall I really liked it though.
