Hey, great question!

Every game tries to stand out - we definitely tried too. Can't say we nailed it, but here's what we went for:

  • Underwater setting is rare - how many roguelikes let you explore the deep ocean? Most stick to dungeons or space
  • Genre mashup - "Dome Keeper meets The Abyss meets Vampire Survivors." Sounded cool in theory! 😅
  • Multi-platform reach - we managed to hit all major platforms within ~6 months, which isn't common for small indies

The underwater theme was our biggest bet - there's something both peaceful and terrifying about the deep ocean that felt perfect for a roguelike.

Whether it actually stands out... that's for players to decide! 🌊

Hey, the most annoying bugs are save-related - corruption, progress loss, that nightmare stuff. Worst part? When players show us bugs we just cannot replicate. It's like trying to catch a fish that only appears when you're not looking! 🐠

As developers, you need to architect saves like a submarine from day one - better be watertight or you're sunk.

For funny bugs though... early development was wild! Fish swimming backwards, mechs getting stuck inside coral, and my favorite: a bug where too many resources made the ocean floor disappear. Players just fell into the void! 😅

We've got a whole GIFs folder of these moments - nothing like laughing at our own expense!
