I completely agree with you, you have no reason to raise your periscope. The original intent was to have the position of your submarine unclear on your own screen, so you'd have to raise periscope to reveal where you are to yourself in order to be sure you're pointing in the right direction. That kind of got lost in the rush of getting this completed, and is a fundamental design flaw in this release."},{"author_name":"Hyoga-3D","author_uid":"23927","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 2:23am","epoch":1399083480,"text":"Nice game and the graphics took me back in time, nice."},{"author_name":"Kingtrez","author_uid":"27836","time":"May 9, 2014 @ 2:03pm","epoch":1399643880,"text":"I was unable to play the game.

The only way I had any success was by purposefully keeping my periscope raised to lure them into a corner, then bursting away, spinning and firing all I had. It would have been great if there was some way to get more torpedoes, or really just anything I could do after I was out of them.\r\rThis would be a really great multiplayer game with a fixed camera though. I can definitely see my friends and I enjoying something like this together."}],"images":["ld29\/20648-087f9ba2a54cf2a57e12398e9eb6a076.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/wft8k10iv0vaqmi\/ICU%20exe.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/3qk0bu4p1hyio2c\/kaZ0zy-2WZ","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/80823g483tq9nw5\/Intense%20Combat%20Underwater%20-%20ICU.x86","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/zznw24n4p5g6909\/-RJJxi1NZc\/Ludum%20Dare%2029.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"19315","g_author":"20648","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"19344","g_title":"Intense Combat Underwater - ICU","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1117","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/20648-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You play a submarine commander, trying to destroy 3 other enemy subs. The only way you know where they are is the grid location and their periscope coming above water - and they know where you are from you doing the same.\r\n\r\nYou have rockets, but they're limited. Use them wisely.\r\n\r\nControls: WASD to move, left shift (hold) to raise periscope (to see where you are\/where you're going), space to fire rockets and again to detonate (if they haven't already), and return\/enter should reset the scene.\r\n\r\nThis is arguably unfinished. There's still loads I meant to do with this, so I fully appreciate it's not gonna score highly. I don't have the time to enter the jam, so I'll be happy with my first attempt at a unity game and polish\/finish in my spare time.
