Interesting and Unique!!

I LOOOOVE THIS GAME, It’s a very unique idle game and I find myself actively paying attention to the lore. Sometimes when tapping I click past the zone descriptions and those are the COOLEST parts!! So be sure to take your time! I know there’s an index for all the fish and a captains log for the words but I would love an index for the zone pictures the art is amazing

Bad Design

It was fun at first, but who thought it was a good idea to provide a tiny part of the screen to tap, and then an option to use your premium currency to go down one level right next to it? Just one tiny off tap made me lose all the pearls I slowly earned, it’s stupid, a waste of time and I’m done with it.

the deep thanks you

Would Recommend!

One of the better idle games I have played in some time. It actually has a nice little story to attach to, with it not being pretentious or in your face. I have not once encountered an ad while playing this game, and I have been playing for about a week without buying the no-ads option. I also appreciate the way the game rewards you a good amount for playing instead of just idling. Tapping is a very useful tool that makes progress way easier if you actually are playing the game. It does get harder as you progress, but that should not deter many if you have played an idle game before. I would say that the UI and overall asthetics can sometimes be a little clunky; the upgrades on the ship specifically and the dive game could use a little work. I would've loved to see more flashy upgrades whenever you upgraded your ship hull, but that is always a personal preference thing, and the dive game does add a nice feature that I havent seen before, but I do think that there should be an option to do a dive for a specific fish if you have already reached that zone, but passed it up a whole back. I know there is a possibility, but trying to find just one specific fish can be pretty tedious. Other than that, I love the creativity and intuition. Keep it up!

thank you so much! this is my first game, so i’m super happy to hear that you have been enjoying it. you make some nice little recommendations too so all i can say is look out and keep diving!

Fun game! Very fun with some minor hiccups

Had fun playing this game and always felt like I was progressing so never got held up. Some items where not explained the best at first but I understood them later on (mostly when it came to pearls). I do think there needs to be some rebalancing with the reset mechanic as it felt like didn’t get any further or get more rewards when doing a refit than just getting good fish. I really like the idea of the fish but the selling part just confused me and as a collector I would want to try and get the rarest form of all the fish. Unfortunately it turns out if you sell a rare fish you lose that fish status so I have no proof that I ever caught a rare version of said fish.

Overall fun little game with some balance needed

hey there! noted on those aspects. a guard or notification that makes it more explicit would definitely be helpful. i’m sorry you lost your fish. and the rebalancing is also something set to be revamped in the coming updates too. keep diving, those abyssal fish are just around the corner!

Unplayable

Unable to scroll down on the game screen to access upgrades. However it does scroll in the menu.

sorry you feel that way :( i personally rarely to never watch the ads and genuinely don’t feel inhibited by the ads being there or affecting my gameplay. thank you for downloading and trying my game!

Good but lacking difficulty or friction

I like the game, but it’s way too easy. I never had to reinforce (the prestige system) even a single time.

noted, i appreciate the honest feedback! i too was able to get pretty far before my first refit (iirc about e6 cores the first time) but eventually prestiging definitely did become necessary for me. i did design the game to get more challenging the further you go. i’m interested to know deep you can get with never reinforcing! feel free to reach out through the privacy policy > contact email.

I LOVE IT

Im just starting is but the logs and the new depths are so GOOOD i bet it will be fantastic later on.

fire thank you i’m glad you’re enjoying it. keep diving!

Fun and charming little game

Fun little game to pass the time the only things that I think could use improvement is the auto harvest upgrade actually getting the best module you can buy instead of whichever one has the lowest number for example the angler lure having 10 while the drowned array had 20 it would choose the first until it had surpassed the module that is much further down the line. The other thing is a button that would allow you to salvage all modules that are available to be salvaged instead of having to go through the list and salvage them one by one. Other than those two things it’s been fun.

Thank you for the review. You caught something I totally thought was fixed, and suggested something that I never even thought of. The newest version, live now, 1.2.1 implements both of these changes. Keep diving!

Poor instagram

I really like this game I needed something to occupy me, a non pushy, aesthetic, self paced idle game like this is perfect if love if you continued your work and this game looking for more from you and others like you

Thank you so much. This is my first game, so any and all feedback is appreciated. Super happy to hear you are enjoying it and dont you worry, there will be more games coming soon.

A fantastic idle game

Only positive things to say here. It’s a fun game and it looks and plays great. The IAP’s are fair if you want them but not needed at all to enjoy the game. I would highly recommend giving this one a try!!

Thank you for this — reviews like yours are why a small game keeps getting updates. There's a lot more deep on the way.

Easy Progression

Easy progression without getting board. No forced ads. Unable to copy and paste code between devices. Game Center sync feature would be nice.

Thank you — this review changed the game. You were right: save codes couldn't really move between devices, and 1.2 fixes it properly. Codes are now 88% smaller and importing on a new device actually works. Cross-device sync is built and coming in the next update — your save will follow you through iCloud, no codes needed.
