It's well polished and rounded off, a good challenge, and intense in small doses :) I really like the way the game starts and the way it moves!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Could be nice if you make the mine explosions hit enemy subs - more interactivity is cool :D"},{"author_name":"reidrac","author_uid":"24731","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 9:58pm","epoch":1398721980,"text":"@longshorts: thanks, I'm happy you like the graphics :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Tuism: I didn't have time to get too deep into the enemies AI. At least they accelerate and turn the same way the player submarine does. I no way perfect, but... I couldn't do more! :) Thanks for your comment!
