The ending pushes it over the top...
It was a great game, with outstanding atmosphere, sound, and control. But after the final dive, the ending moved the game from around 8.5-9 range and into a ten spot. It's a game where you can look back and reflect on not only the game play, but the message. That speaks volumes for a game, especially on a site such as this.
Glad to hear it, thanks!
ill admit...
ill admit that at first i was a little lost at what to do....but once i understood what i was doing i realized that this game is very very fun. nice job
Thanks for sticking around!
Loved it
I really enjoyed the game.
the only thing I have to really note is in freeplay, I tried to submit my score and it went to the log in/register thing, and then it seemed to put that in the background so I couldn't click any of the buttons. I clicked all over, eventually went back to the main menu of the game, and the login/register thing was still in the background.
Ack. Third party APIs always make me a little uncomfortable because I'm never sure exactly how they function and weird bugs like this happen. My bad!
Enjoyable
Thought the game was great, i love the movement and how the game generally looked.
Thanks!
I played this when it came out, but 3 years later here I am again.
For the people who say this game is relaxing, I somehow doubt you played it 'til the end. For me, this game has always been tense and suspenseful. Although it's set in the great blue with nothing but endless ocean to explore, the stylized way the game is presented transports me not to the endless blue of earth, but to the ocean of another planet entirely. This game's ocean is not mine, it is foreign and untrustworthy. The animals swimming around are unrecognizable--which gives me justification in sending a harpoon straight through them, but also inspires fear in me that never fades. Although not at like our aquatic animals in appearance, what they do have in common is their immense size. If Fisher-Diver does anything right, it's to impress the massiveness of sea creatures, especially in relation to us. This is why, although it was being built up all along, the "boss" being my fellow diver completely blindsided me. And even when we were fighting, I was still more afraid of the creatures of the deep. Also, those crunching noises they make when they eat totally freaks me out, but also makes me want Doritos.
Great game.
