Loved the Vibe of the whole thing, Loved the Dreamcast colors and old PS aesthetic, loved the 4:3 ish aspect ration (i still have many square monitors and TVs), and LOVED where the game was going, honestly one of the more fun short games i had played recently and appreciated how much was put into such a small game, and how many twists that really took me off guard (in a good way) over all for short indie game ill rate it at 8/10 ocean trash bottles! would have loved to see more stages in-between the first and last stage. Please check it out if you have not already.
I found the game recently and had such a good time! I really love the PSX design, and the environment work was crazy good. The gameplay was fun, and the story was awesome! I love the horror aspect. The music choices are amazing! I also love the extra lore with items! Overall, such a well-made game!
THIS GAME IS INSANELY GOOD i have nothing but incredible things to say about it, it is one of the most unique and engaging games I've played on Itch. it was perfectly paced, i loved the matter-of-fact-ness, i loved the Vibe. Just, chefs kiss, I'm gonna be thinking about this game for a while
Hella good. Graphics are charming and do the job, soundtrack bops and atmosphere, and the core mechanics are fun. I'd absolutely play a longer sub-based salvage game whether or not it was haunted. <3
Thanks bud :) It'd be cool to revisit this someday with more time to spend on improving/expanding the gameplay. Just need to find a publisher to foot the bill for my Hideo Kojima-tier music licensing requirements for a full release lmao
This was very fun, I streamed this to my friend on discord and we had a lot of fun playing it. The soundtrack is SOOOO GOOOD especially for the first welcome stage of the game, when it started getting scary at the abyss part it was also really cool.
Hello! I've really loved this game so far but I'm kind of confused on how to get the other Ending(s?), tried searching around online and couldn't find anything... Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit: I figured out how to get Ending 2, it was a lot simpler than I thought it would be but it makes a lot of sense. For others who may be wondering: the rocks are there for a reason
This was a magnificent experience! I loved the Vaporwave and 90s Jungle influences. I loved the absurd cat face that talks to you and the quirky sound effects. And I was glad I eventually understood why this game was part of a horror gamejam.
My only caveat is that I honestly wish there was a whole game about collecting stuff underwater with the Vaporwave aesthetic.
really loved this! Such a harmonic piece. I'm not sure if there's a secret with the vox items in the game but really like the mystery around those items regardless
I'll be honest. I didn't know what to expect with this game. But man, this was a great one! I want to keep on playing until I get that absurd amount of dollars required for the last(?) area. I loved it!
I included this game in a video where I raise awareness for #TeamSeas! It really was one where I could actively collect trash in the ocean, and it helped emphasize the importance of cleaning the ocean! It's the second game showcased!
Hi! This was an amazing game that you can experience in less than an hour, from the sporty time trial resource collection in the beginning, to the detailed background of the world with explanations of items, to the fear of the unknown abyss in the second half! Thanks for a really awesome piece!
It was kinda tough collecting the last item in the last level. Interesting how in all the play-through videos that are out there, the players just go straight to touching "it" at the end.
This is a really fun game - the direction it takes is brilliant and kept me playing for a solid amount of time, just to see how it would play out! I posted a review in the jam submission page, and did a playthrough video:
Seriously though, great game, duckenheimer. Loved it from beginning to end.
You wrote so much lore in the item descriptions and dialogue; I wouldn't be surprised if the terms of service at the beginning was a legit original 200 page novel written for this game! Must've taken forever to write all that.
Enjoyed playing this one. Thanks so much for making it!

Please enlighten me. The rocks from which level?
I'm sorry, It's been so long... it was the very last one I think
This was a magnificent experience!

What a great game! Loved the atmosphere and overall dreamcast vibe. Can't wait for your upcomming games!

Really good for what it is.

Honestly a fun and weird game. I enjoyed it so much!!!
Hey! I did a big roundup on a bunch of games in the jam (including yours) with some thoughts on each. Figured I'd share it here for anyone interested!
Show post...
nice game
From start to finish this game is just one big vibe, I love it!
Where can one get this dope-ass soundtrack?
Nice game btw :3
Thanks! I just wrote up a post with details regarding the sources of the various BGM tracks used in the game here.
Very beautifull. Would give day 200 out of LSD sim

Nice game! ❤️
this game kicks ass!

Amazing and very fun game. I really like those more arcade-oriented games, and here it has all of this style. Congrats on your game.
I wouldn't be caught dead in Shades (uncool).
Seriously though, great game, duckenheimer. Loved it from beginning to end.

Incredible.
Accurate simulation of the gig economy.
