Scyla

The controls effectively don't work. The lock-on will miss shots more than hit if the target is moving, and will often just not lock on, or lose the lock, for some reason. The light and grappling hook both start from *behind* the sub as far as I can tell, meaning you'll occasionally hook onto something behind yourself instead of in front, dying through no fault of your own. The hookshot is also painfully slow to go out and back in, so missing is incredibly painful. This is exacerbated by many of the hazards having rather tight timing, meaning you can't sit still and make certain the hook will behave, because the stupid currents will push you all the way back out (or the eyes will insta-nuke you). So instead you often just have to desperately spam, and miss most of the time because there's no way to tell if the hook will actually grab or not because it's fairly short. The visuals are okay. Nothing fancy, but they work fine. The sound is a bit odd. The ambient noises don't seem to actually have anything to do with the creatures or objects that are actually nearby, and the sounds just kind of seem to do whatever. For the level design. Most of the small areas are a bit too cramped, and are just unpleasant to navigate. Most of the obstacles don't seem to make any sense as to why they're there either. Nothing super major, but it's definitely a bit odd. There is some potential here, and it's better than some other amateur first projects I've seen, but as-is it's incredibly rough and I can't really recommend it at all.
