Just amazing and fun to play. Had fun hunting a big fish only to see a bigger one come up and bite the other fish in half... omg it just bit the fish in half!!!!

Spoilers follow:
Narrative wise: I had absolutely no problem with dying at the end.
Gameplay wise: the final moment of the game being a boss fight that you have no option but to lose no matter how well you play feels really awful.

Some quick notes/tips for Freeplay:-
1. The fewer pieces you cut the fish into the more you get for the fish and the less room it takes up in your storage but it will take longer to bleed out and die.
2. Try not to cut the dimmer/thinner lines, just cut the brighter/thicker ones in the center.
3. Be sure to keep other fish from eating your catch while you wait for it to bleed out.
4. The biggest fish down very very deep usually require their core to be cut completely apart in three sections. It's best if you can avoid cutting the dimmer lines when doing this but often it's very hard to do so.
5. The green and blue dots of the fish are multipliers which are super important for getting a really high score.

The ending is about empathy, i mean, you just started killing some fishes at cold blood, thus by the end you have to breath like a fish, and get hunted suddenly and for apparently no reason until you die, then you shall know how the other face of hunting, being hunted, feels.

Saw it coming lol But am I the only one who thought you could maybe win and started trying really hard with splendid control and outmaneuvers, until you lost and realized you were being trolled

i couldn't find my boat and i failed to purchase the compass. i became enraged and proceeded to carry out an ethnic cleansing on anything that didn't look like me or my boat.

At first I was like "Pssh, these graphics are terrible."
Not twenty minutes later I found a fish that took up my whole screen and marveled in its beauty before being scared half to death by the giant red box that threatened to take away my very life. It looks like so little, but it does so much.

I have dived too deep! In the uttermost depths, as my life ebbed away...There are THINGS there that cannot be unseen! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
The fools called it a bad dream. But I...I know better.

I like how you can earn a lot at the deepest depths simply by salvaging the dead fish that come from the other fish fighting. You can be a pacifist and still collect fish!

I am impressed with the Guffin Message Guy. How did he know how to hide them in a manner so that i'd find them in order?

Oh look the game didn't load, instead of rating 1/5 like some people, i should use logic and refresh, now that for once a game does that to me....

For those wondering about how to get the ending, it's fairly simple and you should accomplish it easily, but just go as deep as you possibly can.

Well that was pretty sinister.. Did anyone else kept expecting to have another nightmare at the beginning of every day? I like that you only get a vague idea about your depth, weapon effectiveness , etc. It made it more atmospheric, and you have to use your intuition a bit.

There were insufficient upgrades to improve my mental health. Specifically, can't hold enough big fish in the tank to make this game truly satisfying.

Just finished the game. Had my heart pounding, I'm a wimp. I think... I died of a heart attack...
Oh wait. That was just another bad dream.

A nice trick to earn good cash is to aim, while close to surface, for the fish with "gems", try to get a x2 and then go a little deeper and get the big fish! Also, look for the fish with green gems, because they will make your load more valuable. For the guffins, if you are looking for them and you are running low on O2, don't stop! The guffin will replenish your oxygen bar when you get it. Another pice of advice related to guffins, if you have plenty of oxygen when you find it, catch some fish around it; when your 02 leves run low, grab the guffin. Extra time! Hope you find this useful :)

I just beat the game and wow. I planned on going straight down immediately after I bought the upgrade. Before the tip told me to, but then I started to go down and the fish became the size of dinosaurs and I went running to the surface. (I decided to buy all the upgrades first [for no particular reason].) Then I did it and the ending was both unexpected and also makes sense. It was obvious something was going to happen with Captain Connell, but I didn't expect that. Overall, I'd give this game a solid 6/5. It was great.

just swimming along, trying to get close enough to shoot this weird ass fish in the spine when I see a fish to the left just EXPLODE! WTF?! XD

to earn the medium badge you must first unlock all the upgrades. once that is done just dive as far down as possible and prepare for an epic fight. just thought i save a few headaches ;)

though I hate to risk spoiling anything, is it actually possible to beat the err "last thing" because I've tried like 8 times and haven't succeeded yet
