I did the same on my game. I was confused at first about the controls, but get it now. It would be awesome if you added an enemy AI. Even if you get had random number generators changing every second or half second would make this amazing as a single player version."},{"author_name":"Finn Stokes","author_uid":"7674","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:14am","epoch":1398733740,"text":"Good point about the single player version, I had been considering that myself and hadn't got around to it. I implemented an extremely simple AI and uploaded it as a separate version of the game just as the submission hour started. It should probably be accessible from some sort of in-game menu but I'm out of time to implement that. I'll upload a windows executable when I get home this evening (GMT+9:30)."},{"author_name":"ceosol","author_uid":"34411","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:39am","epoch":1398735240,"text":"I'll be sure to check it out when I can :)"},{"author_name":"Siewart","author_uid":"10724","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:22pm","epoch":1398777420,"text":"We liked it.

Years of technological innovation have left the oceans full of polluting liquids, which have settled into different layers. Since all land is required to house and feed the population, religious factions have turned to the oceans for their battleground.\r\n\r\nEach submarine can adjust its buoyancy to settle beneath the surface of any liquid layer. In the same way, the buoyancy of torpedoes must be chosen to target the infidels. Torpedoes are automatically loaded and fired.\r\n\r\nThere is a single player version of the game available if you can't find someone else to play with you, but the AI is very simplistic, so it is recommended you play with another human.\r\n\r\nControls\r\n========\r\n Left player:\r\n Adjust sub buoyancy: W\/S\r\n Adjust torpedo buoyancy: Q\/A\r\n\r\n Right player:\r\n Adjust sub buoyancy: O\/L\r\n Adjust torpedo buoyancy: I\/K\r\n\r\n\r\nCredits\r\n========\r\nFinn Stokes\r\nSophie Hollitt","title":"HolyDiver"}
