Aww, very cute. The controls, concept, and execution were all excellent. I love the dedication to Rocco at the end there <3.

Классная игра, мне понравилось. Всегда ловлю с таких игр вайб сабнавтики и игр с первой плойки

Really cute game! I love a good picture collector.
The art and vibes were really well done, and very cleanly articulated. The descriptions were a nice touch, and I enjoyed having upgrades being tied to photographing specific fish. I also really enjoyed how the music developed as you progressed deeper.
I was a bit confused with taking the photos sometimes. It seemed counter-intuitive that I was right up in the face of a fish, but the camera wouldn't often recognize it. I ended up just spamming space bar while trying to sidle up next to as many fish as I could.
The reveal at the end was very endearing. Great game!

Музыка делает просто афигенное настроение для игры!!
Прикольно, что чтобы попасть глубже, надо прокачатся, но этого наутилуса я еле еле сфоткал
А ещё я не успел посмотреть что на самом дне >-<, я только вкачал фотоаппарат на 2 лвл и мне игра "спасибо за игру!"
В общем, вайбовая игра!!

Great job! I think it's really well-crafted, and all the elements of the game come together nicely. That said, I feel like the gameplay could be stretched a bit. There's definitely enough content for a 72-hour jam, but it's very compact — I finished the game in just a couple of minutes. I wouldn’t mind spending a bit more time exploring the depths of the ocean!

Милая игра, атмосферная) Как рыбалка, где надо ловить разных рыб, но только фоткать, прикольно сделано

Well polished game, the ambient and adaptive sound track really added to the flair of it.

I saw multiple fish dodging my Submeowrine by directly crashing into a wall, maybe they could be a bit smarter with their swim-path-finding :laughing:

Awesome game and well polished. Liked the effect when things were away from the submeowrine
