I was a bit confused in the beginning, maybe because the timers are so tiny, but it was smooth sailing (no pun intended) after a couple of minutes. I felt that the depth gradients were a bit too chaotic, and the colours of the waves a bit confusing (in most games you expect darker coloured waters to be deeper), but I still had quite some fun.
Great SFX - some chill music could go well with it. A very unique triangulation game, well done!

I spent way too much time dropping probes into the water… I felt this uncontrollable urge to EXPLORE EVERYTHING 🤣
Can't really criticise anything except that it's a bit barebones and could use some polish, like some more feedback (including audio) when probes were done etc. Music would've been really nice.
Overall pretty nice, and inventive!
