It took a while to get the hang of the translation and play smoothly, but once I got used to it, the game ran really smoothly.

I was able to play all the way through to the end. I really liked how the destination was marked by a light and the tag-team gameplay.

Such a beautiful and immersive deep-sea experience! Loved the underwater atmosphere, and solving puzzles together with Mira felt like a wonderful take on the BUDDY theme. Great work and already rated! 🌊✨

"Thank you so much for your review and comments! I created this with the beauty of the deep sea in mind."

I beat it. It’s BEAUTIFUL.

In the web version, it froze for about three minutes during the initial shader compilation. You might find that using lighter shaders in the web version makes for a smoother loading experience. It’s obvious just by looking at the game that its beautiful scenes are made possible by the shaders, so I understand why you might hesitate to make that decision.

The gameplay experience is wonderful, and it captures the beauty of the deep sea very well. I also love the rendering of the fish scales and the sparkling particles floating in the water. The buddy system also serves a meaningful purpose within the game.

However, precisely because of that, the anime-style female character that appears after beating the game might have been better rendered with a more realistic art style. It felt out of place with the game’s otherwise gritty, hard-boiled world.

Overall, though, it was a truly mystical experience. 🙂

Thank you so much for the review and comments! I really appreciate your honest feedback on both the good and the bad points. While aiming for visual beauty, I think adapting the style to fit the overall mood will make it even more interesting!

A wonderful experience that really made me feel like I was exploring the deep sea.
I also liked how Mira is truly integrated into the game as your BUDDY. I didn’t understand everything, but I really enjoyed the time I spent exploring this world!

Thank you so much for playing! We really put a lot of love into the beautiful ocean visuals and the puzzle-solving with your buddy, Mira. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it!
