Still working on fixing a game-breaking bug with the transmitting...

Ok, game should be playable now! Code changes can be tracked on GitHub for those who are interested. (GitHub repo may eventually include post-compo changes too.)

I really like the idea. Unfortunately, it runs really slow on my computer. Otherwise, I would've totally played until I unlocked everything!

Fun administration game! Not sure if my browser was just running slow but the subs were moving unbearably slowly...

All the stats and icons made the game look intimidating at first, but what's past that is simple and relaxing. There wasn't much to it, but it has the feel of an idle game with less idle and more input.

Amazing graphics, but painfully slow in my browser

I agree with Colorvade completely. Very relaxing!

Thanks for the feedback! The slowness was supposed the be intentional, forcing you to get an upgrade to increase speed, but you're right - it puts too much of a damper on the game early on. Unrelated Pro Hint: One of the in-game hints in a lie (unintentionally).

Good concept. A little too slow for me though.

I like the idea, but the page requires me to scroll. That's not good style. If you could condense the interface to match one page, that would be awesome. The game also lages terribly both im Firefox and Chrome.

Cool concept, but a little slow-paced for my blood.

I just love the concept! Ran terribly slow on Chrome, but on Firefox it was normal. I managed to survive with -600 o2 ;) And the Antenate I didn't increase my range. It is slow paced and I didn't have the patience to finish it - but it got me hooked up and I spent far more time on it than I should :D I love this kind of games and this has some real potential! Only needs some obstacles and more danger while diving :)

Great idea! The concept is nice (P.Zissou? Great reference :D), but it feels a bit slow for my taste.

Congrats!

Nice looking game, but as others have said it seemed really slow to me.

I like the general idea and the clean graphic design but descending and getting credits is very slow, if the whole game peace were a little faster I think it would be more fun.
