It definitely looks awesome! I didn't get very far tho, I couldn't get past any of the fishes, it felt like they came at me super fast and I couldn't really do much about it? It could be me misunderstanding a game mechanic

In fact, we didn't have time to fully assemble the level, and one game mechanic is missing, which is embedded in the concept. In general, the task is to collect 9 spheres on the level without being seen by the fish (the fish have a cone of ejection). For every 3 spheres, an one ability is unlocked.

A cool game, appropriate to the theme. It's a pity didn't do it completely. I don't know if this is my mistake or yours, but these buttons hardly work: RMB - Shot
LMB - Accumulation Energy
SPACE - Burst
Thanks:0 and greetings from UralGem

Very atmospheric, looks and sounds appropriate for the sea depths.

Dodging the fish is very hard, they are incredibly quick and the camera is very close, so it's common not to see them come until it's too late.

How would you advise to handle them?

@firellon Thanks for the feedback! The fish really do move fast. Try not to get caught in their line of sight — it's marked by a red light.![Снимок экрана 2025-04-10 091626.png](///raw/f9e/36/z/6bd92.png)

Wow, great aesthetic, music, sound - your use of darkness and light and color - all very good. Loved the polished animations. Fish behavior is solid, predictable, yet challenging to overcome. In a lot of ways, we created similar games conceptually - navigate a dark maze to find power-ups necessary to advance. Even the power-up to break through barriers was similar. Great minds think alike ;) Anyhow, this was a pleasure to play, though I couldn't figure out how to get to the win condition. An earlier comment makes me think maybe it didn't quite get finished? If so, that's a shame, because this was fantastic. Still, high marks from me. Great work!

It really immerses you in the game's atmosphere — the music, sounds, the way light spreads and darkness recedes. I loved the octopus robot we play as))) and its animations. Turned out great! Good luck!

@buni Thank you!

@scriveneroflight Thank you! We didn’t manage to finish everything we had planned, but the game is logically complete. The goal is to reach the Earth’s core (by moving upward) and search for “magic spheres” to unlock new drone abilities—like explosion, dash, and shooting. It took me around 20 minutes to unlock all abilities and reach the finish.

@ammonit Спасибо! У вас тоже классная игра получилась! =)

Didn't understood how to broke walls shooting didn't worked may be it's in web-version:( But that's creepy atmosphere is awesome! Music and graphics both well tuned. Techno-jellyfish is kawaii! Glory to the Omnissiah!)))
