Polished, readable, and with a distinctive charm. \n\nThe sound design is also great. The sound effects for each action are satisfying and appropriate to the action. \n\nI also enjoyed the gameplay concept. I've not seen fishing done in this way before.  \n\nI have only two minor gripes: \n1) I found myself getting annoyed having to load the dice manually each time (drag mouse from fish to the various dice, back to fish. Shoot, repeat). Perhaps there could be a button to load. Or there could be an upgrade of some sort that helps you load automatically. \n2) I wished there was some way to improve my odds beyond farming dice, especially when tackling the larger fish. Shooting at the biggest fish became tedious rather than enjoyable, because of how much farming it took to get enough powerful dice. Perhaps some way to upgrade the harpoon (have more dice on it) or a way to increase the odds of each dice (loaded dice?) could make the later game more enjoyable. \n\nAll in all, very polished. I enjoyed it a lot.

The game feels punchy and satisfying to play. The can had troubles understanding the number is the remaining length of the rope (I thought it was how deep you were) and the way dice work as I didn't get that you need to roll a sum above the health of a fish. But then I got it and it went smoothly.\nI wish there were more upgrades. And it felt a bit too easy and the lack of the neccessity to get back to the surface made the gameplay loop vague to me. If I were to have a on oxygen tank that I need to re-supply and upgrade - that would help a lot. As an example.\nBut overall a very good entry!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1153006,"author_name":"Emily C","author_uid":"emily-c","epoch":1744820927,"text":"Wow!
