Overall, I really enjoyed it. Pretty complex for a jam game, in my opinion. Fantastic work!
Unfortunately I was too bad at the game once adding more things to manage after the tutorial
What I liked the most was the graphics, the jam in the background and most importantly - COLOR PALETTE! So nice to the eyes. Great job!
Love, love, love the look. As I've said a couple of times now.
The 'build your controls' on the fly style of gameplay is also pretty great. I think it might even work better like this than as a turn based game. Of course some of the design decision seem to be remnants of another idea, eg the leveling of the crew seemed fairly inconsequential, but it wasn't a detractor either. Nice pixelart as well!
Here's a timestamp to when we player your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2428950737?t=2h58m34s
Also, I love the little detail that you can actually see the crew in their positions inside the ship between the levels. :grin:
I think you got smth really special here.
Not only does it looks fantastic, it also plays very well.
And for the time we had in the jam, the game has some pretty good complexity which is very polished.
So much love in here, this could very well be a full release!
Graphics, music, gameplay and everything feels so polished.
Gotta be one of my favorite entries.
So excellent job! :gift_heart:
Sorting the team by different functions, controlling the submarine - there was much to keep in mind, but it was an interesting and fun challenge. The levels themselves were also built interestingly, there were places for maneuvers when you had to think quickly where to put the team and how to complete the level in the best way and not to die :D In general, you made a very exciting and fun game!
I really want more people to notice you and try it. Thank you for the game and I wish you all the suberb best!
BTW, nice to see another 3D entry from you!
Thank you for bringing the game to the stream :)
Gorgeous visual art style, very unique feel and good game-design. The only issue I have with the game is that
## There's Not Enough of It!!!
Great work! :laughing:

Highly polished, extremely well made, great stuff!
@alvaron I just watched the VOD, I wish I had been there. The box in the bottom right of the screen says "Click here to continue", and you clicked everywhere but not there ^^ Should have made it more obvious, leorean's comment mentions the same issue.
