  • simple and fun. i love the addicting aspect! Would def play when i was trying to fill a few minutes during the day. Would be cool to add in other things to collect or power ups / power downs etc.
  • Loved the idea of listening to your heart to be aware of what's going on and avoid getting caught! Good innovation there. Would like to see a bit more on the mechanics side. It was hard for me to sprint around.
  • Not gonna lie, when the shark came out of the shadows I freaked a little bit. Very cool atmosphere. Great use of the low poly environment. I think you should turn off collision on some of the smaller items, I was getting stuck on rocks and coral. The heartbeat mechanic was very interesting but needs some tweaking, it seemed a little random. The atmosphere and creepy shark swimming around was a real highlight though. Great work.

I really like the atmosphere in this! The sound design when the shark got close was really spooky, it honestly kinda got me, lol. I think it’s so cool that you were able to make this in two days. Really awesome!
