only a level or two left but since it's late I shall go ahead and comment.
I was a little worried halfway through the game at dive 5 because the maze takes so long to travel through that I had to get all of the money from dives 1-4 and 6 plus one or two from 7. This was a little stressful and I think that that sense of "close call" takes away from what I enjoyed about the game. I enjoyed this game because it had nice music, simple yet attractive graphics, and just enough challenging mazes to be fun. I was a little disappointed that the oxygen tanks did not respawn after a dive. 4/5

I know I'm basically repeating everyone, here, but there really should be an ending. It's nice, and it gives some closure. Aside from that, having the tanks PERMANENTLY disappear isn't very good, and there REALLY should be some tangible benefit to the rare fish. Part of the 100% complete requirement for the theoretical ending, maybe, or a nice aquarium, or getting money for them (by selling them). The game is fun and all, but the lack of an ending, the oddness of the O2 tanks, and the redundancy of the fish make this a 4/5, rather than a 5/5.

I wish everyone would stop bitching about no ending......do you really need a pat on the back every time you wipe your own ass?

Fatal flaw, map 5, i tried once, and i failed to get all the way back, now i can't progress because oxygen tanks won't respawn, for this, 3/5

I obtained every single item, but I never got the one thing I craved the most; a congratulations when I was done scavenging for artistically poor pixel objects..

Hmm.. a game about earning money so you can buy upgrades so you can earn more money until you "complete" the game? Where have I heard THAT before.....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
um... seems akay but would get boring. emphasis on WOULD there is no map in the third diving spot and i cant progress

Should not be rated so highly. The treasures are sometimes blocked by the gauges/maps, then in certain areas where you have to go through invisible walls you're unable to locate the treasure. It makes it more of a guessing game than anything in those situations. Gameplay isn't bad, but not original at all. I'll give it a 2/5 simply because it runs. Other than that, come up with something to make it different than every other game of this genre.

good game overall, I played for about 7 maps till I began to get bored as it is fairly repetitive and there is not a really big challenge its more of time spent on task. I give the game a 3/5. mostly due to the lack of challenge and the fact that there is no save button. I did however enjoy the game.

I really loved playing it. There is just two problems. You get no recognition for collecting everything and there is no save feature. Add these and it will be one of the better games on the internet.

hey everybody! i think it was a glitch! the reason why you didnt know if you won was a glitch because, if anyone else also noticed, on the last level if you go all the way to the left, there was a bottle on the ledge like the ones you get for new levels but you can't reach it because you're in a sub. rate up if u notice it 2

very easy to play through, but somewhat hypnotic with the music and how the game feels.
i'd like some treasure-o2-combination that are a one-try only for the sequel. or generally more strategic o2 usage. maybe some trasures you barely can't reach at first combined with some penalty for dying.
anyway, 4/5

I liked this game quite a bit. It would have been a 5/5 if it weren't for the missing ending (or did I overlook anything?). Relaxing game with great controls. 4/5

fun game but i would like a cut scene when you reach the boat after getting all the treasures cause i had no idea when i finished it

I also never ran out of oxygen once. I was really close on level 9, but as I ascended, I collected an oxygen tank and escaped in the nick of time. This game gets very intense as you run out of oxygen and scramble to the surface. If you could use dynamic music that changes as your oxygen runs out, it would make the game fairly intense :)

If I didn't when I started the level, I used the money I got from that level to increase hull and reach the pearl or whatever was at the very bottom. An aquarium would be awesome and hidden levels would keep be occupied for longer. I played this game non-stop for perhaps an hour, maybe a little less. It gets a 4/5, but just barely because of it's monotony. A better storyline, better graphics, more gameplay, perhaps a cutscene or two, maybe some weapons to fight off sharks and octopuses, more upgrade aspects, an adventure and arcade mode, different sub styles, "world view" with different oceans to choose from, extras, achievements, unlockables, and maybe even a multiplayer race mode. These are just some ideas off the top of my head.

This was an extremely addicting game and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some graphic improvements would be nice though, I can't shake the feeling that it looks too much like a little child's game. I do not agree with the "fish swim backwards" concept, lol. And, like repeated a million comments before, achievements, victory screen, special items, do something with that awesome little ship on level 10, yada yada yada. The difficulty should be ramped up a little bit aswell. I never had to replay a level to get items that were left behind because I never left them behind. I always had a high enough hull and oxygen level to get every item on a level...

Yeah this game really needs a congratulations ending screen
CONGLATURATION!!! YOU HAVE COMPLETED A GREAT GAME! NOW GO AND REST OUR HERO!

Focus almost completely on engines and enough hull to explore the whole map. (That will mostly mean that your hull and engines are almost equal.) By map 5 I could explore the entire space without having to go back to base and upgrade. The game needs more notices to show that you've completed everything (while in the level and when looking at the pieces) and an aquarium mode.

I guess I epicly fail, because I can't even get the 2nd chest on the first level. Can't upgrade anything until I get it, and can't get it without upgrages.

I agree with everyone else, some sort of acknowledgment would be nice. Maybe 1 screen for getting to the ship, and one for 100% completion?
Also, what about putting some sort of unique item at the ship? Just something with a different name so you have something to show for your achievements.
Good game though, a lot of fun 4/5

a single 15 point badge for getting 100% would be nice. enjoyed the ship changing as you leveled it up. i didnt notice anything change when i upgraded the engine but i wasnt paying to much attention either. i liked the little things like how the fish ran away a little and how you took the time to make even the unimportant ones didnt go through the wall. a very nice starter game but there should have been a cut scene at the end or something. an idea would be after finding all the black pearls you get unlimited oxygen and theres a final treasure map on the ship so you have a fun extra lvl 11 to explore but thats just me

there could have been some more stuff to buy so that you could do something with the 200 k you end up with at the end

at the last level, on the top left, if you look closely through your map, you will see another map in a bottle. hinting of a sequel? you decide
