Radiation Suit Glitch

The game could use some extra retweaking a bit because of the graphics not loading up fast enough, but also the radiation suit should not be allowing radiation to be detected. Every time I try to get into the main wreckage, I am still detecting radiation even with the suit on. I have now died twice from it trying to get back to my seamoth and also the belongings I lost. This needs to be fixed.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
This is a good game

By the visuals and lot of modes and updates and a fish game and you can make a base and a aquarium

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
Save is broken

I love this game and was so excited to see it in the App Store. I wish I’d read the reviews first before shelling out $10 on a game that won’t save my progress. My first save worked fine, but ever since then the app locks up when saving i have to force close the app. All progress is lost.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Problem with save

The port isn’t bad, but one detail ruins everything — the save system is messed up. Very often, when I save, an endless loading screen appears, after which I have to restart the game, and as a result, all my progress is lost.
