Nice little Subnautica parody! I was honestly expecting some sort of scare in the little cave but it was all calm waters.

I really loved the music, really!!! I loved how some sounds pop it in my ear with a little echo, along with the arpeggio, really cool work with the sound!!! I loved Suzanne face fish too lol... I also really liked the UI and the environment, nice work guys

If this were a full game and I had to suck up all the little fishies doing their love-twirl into my mixer-hole I would definitely play it. Really nice work with the cave, the small fish that darted out very quickly caught my attention and led me to enter the cave system. The animation and sounds on the mixer was top-tier and the way the plug waves around as I swim about was great. I slightly wish the movement felt more swimmy. I enjoyed Underwatica very much and I would happily tell my nieces and nephews that this was Subnautica.

Had a lot of fun with this, I enjoyed it enough to play a second time trying to see what happened at the edge of the map.

The music is perfect! And I like the little detail of the screen on the “scanner” moving when you turn.
When trying to break the game, I did manage to go negative depth by going up and also found this silly little block.![Untitled.png](///raw/800/b3/z/6bc8e.png)

It felt kind of cruel but scanner go brrrrr! A cute exploratory entry with an unexpectedly cozy vibe - the sound design and "scanning" animation really brought it together. Good work!

Nicely done! Didn't find the cave right away, it would be convenient if it had some other landscape accentuation besides the fish swimming out. The caves are done perfectly, swam in - got lost and then found the way back) Still missing a description of the goal - to collect so many fish. The instrument screen shows what was collected, I would like more information on the collected fish. Overall, good work! And the music deserves special praise!

Very calm and relaxing game, it is a great prototype. Seeing Suzanne swim around was pretty funny and the model of the scanner too. I think you wanted to add more (with the hotbar), and it seems like a good starting point.

hmm, I feel like I have seen this game somewhere before ;)

didn't really know what to do (or if there is much to be done), but I did like the slurping animation and music :)

Lol, love the blender and the "Fish". Needs some scanning particles ;). I got lost and could not find anymore fish to "scan" :(

SuzyFish for the win!
At first, I thought the scanner might get a little wild, but it turns out it's totally safe for kids 😆
The only thing that threw me off was the camera — I kinda lost my sense of direction and couldn’t tell which way was up 😮

Impeccable audio and mood, loved the blender3D-monkey-fish AND the actual blender!
Also love the little details, the screen and the rope-ish are really polished!

I'm so glad I have an impact on the decades to come :smile:
