    The gameplay is characterized by a solid core loop that involves diving, gathering materials, and upgrading, though it can become repetitive and grind-heavy over time. While some players appreciate the nostalgic aesthetics and engaging mechanics, others find the experience shallow and tiresome after a short duration.

    • “It has got some nicely engaging gameplay for a fishing game.”
    • “I'm going to be blunt, I just didn't like the game at all; it's just extremely repetitive in less than 1 hour. The gameplay loop is very small and shallow.”
    • “The gameplay loop gets a bit tiring by the end of the game, but feels pretty solid otherwise: dive, gather materials and fish, get to the base, shoot the fish, upgrade, dive deeper - rinse and repeat.”
    • “Plays kind of like one of those flash games that focus on upgrade, repeat, upgrade, but of a higher quality of gameplay.”
