The game is drop-dead gorgeous for a Jam Game, definitely one of the best ones I've ever come across.

This is a great entry. loved the art as well as the interpretation of the theme. It is very well executed and has the potential to be polished even further if you wanted to. I think my only gripes about the game were no exit button and the controls seemed a bit tight. Both of which are minor things and really don't detract from the experience! \n\nKeep up the good work and see you next time!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":667078,"author_name":"yeppe","author_uid":"yeppe","epoch":1619643543,"text":"Pretty visuals, gameplay is fine.

I liked how the inertia of the controls punishes the player for being too hasty. You have to manage speed, direction and fuel at the same time, watching what comes underneath. That's a pretty solid formula. Some sound effects and music would have been a nice addition to serve the underwater ambiance.

The submarine was a bit frustrating to control as steering was really hard and I ended up feeling multiple times like I couldn't stop myself from dying multiple as a bunch of mines just appeared out of nowhere and killed me. The shock button doesn't seem to do anything? Maybe that could have helped in those kinds of situations.

Did you forgot to upoad it =) ?\n\nThe art is GORGEOUS. Thats was surreal quality for a game jam. The game itself is nice, but the controls are really not intuitive : to go down, you need to press \"up\". Yeah, I see what you wanted to do, it's more \"accelerate\/brake\", but it really didn't feel natural in that context, at least for me ^^'. The submarine steering was also a bit frustrating.\n\nOverall, a nice concept with awesome graphics, but the gameplay would need some little tweaks here and there to be perfect ^^","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":668013,"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"someone","epoch":1619649065,"text":"Excellent artwork.
