Challenging but satisfying game, i like it! my favorite part was spamming down the group of little fish in the small corridor. killing the big dude was took a while but i eventually got it :D

I like the minimalist art, and the splash of color at the end really felt rewarding. Jumping out of the water like a dolphin was also more fun than I expected. Good stuff.

When I reached the first big open area I thought "oh, I beat it!" but how wrong I was...

This was a fun game, I enjoyed unleashing torpedo-y vengeance against the fish. The little screen flip at the end was a nice touch. Well done!

I liked it :) The explosion effect was nice. I just wish it were shorter.

The fish are astonishingly cute even though they try to eat you. Feels very good and I love the level geometry!

Love the artstyle, maybe add some texture to the walls will improve the overall look

It's got a nice clean look and just fits the theme really well not just in gameplay but the mood and atmosphere of it. I like the sound effects of the fish they're super scary.

Only a maniac would make a ludum dare game in Rust though, what are you thinking.

The end of the game is great and the sound effects from the fish really give it a suspenseful mood!

I like the arts. I reminds me an Atari 2600 games.

This was actually a lot more fun than I initially thought! It doesn't give a good impression at the start; the submarine looks very uninspiring. But as soon as you get to the monsters and get the missile it feels really good! Really nice art for the monsters and explosions feel great. At the ending I could get the fishes to follow me up in the sky ahahah. Ending music was really nice.

The first time hearing the sound effects was terrifying in the best way. Adding respawn points was a good idea as I got very scared I would have to restart the whole thing after I died the first time.

That was genuinely fun! Loved the little puzzliness to it before you had the torpedoes. Thanks you for the respawn checkpoints, probably wouldn't have kept playing through till the end if it restarted from the beginning

Nice, minimal game with a great overall art style. A little bit more color underwater would be great. The audio was broken on my system so I didn't rate it. I chuckled when I reached the end. :smiley:

I wasn't expecting a maze, but it works well! I like the fish graphics.

I played this one twice because I forgot to rate this on my first play through. It was as enjoyable on my second play!

The sound effects are truly terrifying :scream:

Also, the ending surprised me on my second play as much as it did on my first. Forgot about that :joy:
