I played this game originally on cardboard a year or so ago and quite enjoyed it. After getting a Pixel 2XL I purchased this title for Daydream and what a difference a controller makes! The graphics (particularly in level 3) are Best of Class, the game play is deceptively simple, (You are basically trying to retrieved a torpedo from a sunken U-Boat whilst avoiding an extremely persistent shark) and the music and SoundFX are all excellent. What none of this really gets across however, is the level of immersion this game achieves. I am absolutely stunned this was produced by such a small team! My only feedback would be that the later 2 levels are somewhat tricky (I very nearly gave up on level 3 before finally figuring it out) and a Walkthrough on Youtube or even just as text would i am sure be appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful game and I hope you make more in the future!

Overpromised and underdelivered. The videos and screenshots look very cool but the gameplay is unclear, slow and at times boring, the controls are original, but as a result often glitchy and hacky.

Love the concept and want to see more games with breath and motion controls! The step mechanism was not at all accurate for me so I had to resort to touchpad controls which leads to dizzyness. As a professional diver this is a great step toward virtual diving! Decent graphics for a daydream game as well. Note for dev: I also had issues with completing lvl2 without it moving on to the next scene.

Horrible graphics, glitchy AI, guesswork stealth.

A technical feat displayed superbly in Daydream, but don't expect intuitive game play. Not sure if anyone has bothered to play through all three levels, but I tried for longer than I will admit to complete levels 2 and 3 with no success. Level 2 - there was no indication of where to go after I found the wrecked boat and pressed the foot pedal on the bow of the ship. I held the "back" button to get back to the diving boat and somehow got to level 3??? In level 3 - following the Geiger counter lead me to certain death by shark in the exact same path no matter how quiet or still I was. Trying to go around and explore led me to a brightly flashing warhead that appears to be completely irrelevant - back to get eaten at the only other path! Finally, for how much exploring is required, running out of breath happens way too easily. I suppose for how new all of this stuff is that it is a good sign for VR that my biggest gripe is with the actual game design/play rather than technical issues, but still...

I can't get the breath control to work using the included Note8 ear buds. Otherwise it's great.
