Echo by XariusExcl

[raw]
made by XariusExcl for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Lost at the bottom of the abyss, only your dear radar can keep you alive.

You are attacked by enemy submarines. Using your radar, anticipate their actions and catch them off guard to survive as long as possible.

Controls :

Echo is played exclusively with the mouse.

Clicking on "move" will allow you to give a course to your submarine by orienting it on the radar.

Clicking on "Fire" allows you to direct a torpedo fire by interacting with the radar.

Clicking on "Cntr" (Countermeasures) protects your submarine from any torpedoes that threaten to kill you for the next 4 seconds. Be careful, you can only send them once every 20 seconds.

This game really caught my attention, the pace of the sonar and the monitor, and interface. Its very well designed and makes for great fun. I can definitely see possibilities in expanding on both the mechanics and the variety of encounters. I will be keeping an eye on this one for sure :D

This is my favourite game in this game jam hands down. The mechanics, the graphics, the polish - everything is top-notch.

Here I am, sniping sub after sub from the other side of the map, hiding behind a rock, hoping they never find me. "OH NO, TWO SUBS BEHIND ME! Move! Shoot! Got one! Countermeasures! IT BLOCKED ME FOR ANOTHER TURN!". And then I just stare helplessly as a torpedo floats towards my defenceless boat. "Ping!" goes the scanner one last time...

I absolutely adore this game, but the controls seem super unintuitive. I'll play some more, see if I can figure it out. But overall, awesome game
