How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Catching fish for Professor Coral is dangerous business – mostly for the fish – which is why the old geezer equipped his submersible with a sonic wave blasting speaker. Stun these fishes and catch 'em all!

How very dare you make a game this polished! Everything about this was absolutely brilliant!
A really creative way of navigating! One thing I think it could work here too as I saw with some fish, they can attack you and you can receive damage from them if not careful, maybe damage involves needed to get the item to get deeper again or something like that.
But either way this is an awesome entry! Loved it!
Lots to like here, from the pixel art and the prof character to the concepts of the gameplay. I completely missed that you're supposed to collect specific things, so I collected everything at least twice before realizing that you're only supposed to get what it tells you in the top left. I got a few more after that but it felt endless at that point (after about 4 eels and 4 angler fish). Not sure if there's an ending or not. Would be cool to see more, especially with more unique behaviors (maybe even dangers/attacks) for each fish. unique sounds per fish, etc. Great project overall, nice work!
Actually a pretty fun game! The funny little details the professor said is the crack for me lol.I really love these kinds of exploration games where you go deeper and deeper to see more and more crazy stuff. Was confused on what the quest thing should be lol but finally understood it eventually (as its kind of unclear). I also realized that scroll wheel is a substitute for clicks! is this supposed to be a debug that is left out? (tbh using scrollwheel is kind of genius)
Overall a really solid game, esp when you move to an entirely different area!
the whale becomes entirely ez to catch using scroll wheel :)
Thank you! The quest system came in pretty late, and with a couple of extra hours we would've expanded on it (or at least made the instruction more clear).
We knew about the scrollwheel and deliberately left it in the game, as it was kind of fun to zoom around at high speed (in a more developed version that could be an upgrade!).
