How does your game tie into the "Salvage" theme
In Benthic Grab, you salvage valuable wreckage from the ocean floor with a crane, then sell it to upgrade your gear. But finding things is the easy part: the real challenge is bringing each load back up intact while managing tension, energy and the creatures of the deep. To escape the planet, you must salvage the three rocket parts lost far below.

This is a nice game that really ties well into the theme. It is well rounded and I don't feel it has any loose ends.
I liked the core loop is simple but has depth. The game has a lot of things to take into account and I can see the player being overwhelmed by all of it all at once, however the tutorial gives the player the info progressively in a really smart way. I loved that.
I liked how different the salvaging feels the deeper you go with the different background, the sea creatures, etc.
I think maaaybe the only aspect I would make a suggestion on is the assets: The visuals are good, don't get me wrong, however I think it could be more cohesive. Some of the objects or buildings have a pixel art style, and others have more of a flat simple style.
Great job, I liked your game and I think it is one of the most complete I have played from the submissions :)
Hi! You did a good job implementing the mechanics, and the game is quite fun to play. The only thing I'd suggest is adding collision to the cable as well. It feels a bit strange when it passes through platforms while the crane's grabber itself can't. Either way, you made a good and enjoyable game! :)
yo, thank you for your comment :D, you are right, cable collisions will be so fun, thanks again
