Underwater Life

Looks like I get to write the first review for this "game". Underwater Life is a lazy 2D retro style arcade game where you control a small fish in a 2D aquarium and must avoid bigger fish. Eat algae to increase your level so you can eat smaller fish as well. That's all there is to it. This is a basic template flip made with the awful GameMaker Studio 2, resulting in a very mediocre experience. Resolution and controls are locked, gameplay is janky, and the game art is mediocre. These kind of video game construction kits aren't intended to make commercially viable games, they're just for sharing with friends and teaching some elements of game making. The quality of this shovelware is far beneath anything that should be published on Steam. The $10 USD price tag for "game" stamped out with a construction kit is just a joke.

Oh Boy, what is right with this game... I've played this game for over an hour and I probably played this game one hour longer than the developer... There is the most basic of bugs that if you are playing and you try to go to the main menu or exit or anything the game will just restart, this happens every single time, so you always have to try to go to main menu 2x. Besides this, you cant go to the fish and upgrade, you always have to exit 2 times to the menu to play again and chose the fish. This doesnt matter because the fish always looks the same. There's no point in buy fish, unless you stay small and just stay collecting coins and then buy the most expensive one and try to get a highscore. But anyways the game is so broken that you can only play for 5 seconds when you buy the most expensive fish, because you are huge and all fish are even bigger so you cant really do anything. Besides this, there's no predictability on how fast the fish are, what is their level, you have to guess if you can eat them or not, sometimes you can eat same level but often not. The hitbox is the head of the fish so when they turn they instakill you if you are behind them. Things can spawn on top …

pretty wicked

dont ever buy random key sets from websites they are filled with games like this lol.

What a disappointment. Avoid this game as it stands...there is no balancing to enable you to start with a fair chance to become a bigger fish. You either start with a small fish and everything is larger than you, or the fish are so crammed in that you cannot possibly escape, or you start with a larger fish and everything else is bigger than you with the same crammed scenario playing out. I do hope the developer addresses this, wanted to play it with my son. No chance as I cannot even play this

Simple programming from way back. Not a real game - sudden death blah blah. Stay away!
