Usually I'd say that it was something boring because of such a simple mechanic - a shark following you. But it was actualyl very fun! I dont know how but shark slowly and comically swimming out of a rock when I thought I had escaped it is pretty fun! Good job on making such cool graphics!

Thank you so much for playing!  I’m really happy to hear that. I was hoping the shark would feel a bit tense but also slightly unexpected at times. Glad you had fun, and thanks for the kind words about the visuals!

The game is visually stunning ! The speakers could be used in an way it behaves like a speaker but the rest of the implementation is awesome !

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! The speakers do emit audio cues, but I agree they could have been expanded more mechanically given more time. Appreciate your thoughts!

Good graphics, but my computer couldn"t handle it

Developer

Thanks for sharing your feedback! Unreal Engine can be quite demanding, and due to the limited jam time I focused mainly on reducing the file size from 2.8 GB to 729 MB. I’ll definitely pay more attention to graphics and performance settings in future projects. I really appreciate the feedback!

Awesome visuals! The game ran pretty poorly though, and the speakers blend into everything so it's pretty hard to follow them.
