Welcome to

DEEP DOWN THERE!

Using your wits and a sonar that ticks every 10 seconds, your objective is to destroy other submarines lurking in the shadowy waters… But be careful, as they are hunting you too! Outmaneuver their ships, avoid their torpedos, navigate through the rocky bottom of the ocean, and emerge the victor you were born to be!

I really loved the art and audio, It made it really easy to get into the mood of the game and feel like a one man sub captain.

Not sure how to play, no controls description. I can figure out how to shoot a torpedo but not sure how to turn the ship.

Took a second to figure out what was going on, but once I realized what was going on the game felt pretty good.

Agreed on the comments - took a bit to process how to play, but once I did I was very impressed with it.

This game is super well done. I love the sound design. The art is fantastic. The interactions and controls feel great. I had a fun time trying to do 6 jobs and once. Really clever use of theme. Some notes for future development: The game might be too hard so I might tweak it to be easier, I would love a death animation/screen instead of just going to the menu. Fantastic work!

Wow what a fun game idea! I had a lot to juggle with all of those positions but after a few tries I was able to start sinking submarines. Reminds me of LDST a really addicting couch co-op I think this could be something just like that! Thanks for the fun time!

美术风格非常漂亮!开潜艇也感觉很有趣!
不过玩了几次,还是不太懂怎么发射导弹和打中敌人(我英文不好,看不太懂游戏说明)。有点遗憾。

The art style is very beautiful! Driving a submarine is also a lot of fun!
But after playing it a few times, I still don't know how to launch missiles and hit the enemy (I'm not good at English, so I don't understand the game instructions very well). A little disappointed.

It's a really fun experience having to juggle all the tasks while avoiding the torpedoes

Really great idea and well executed :) Even the how to play menus are very well put together. Great work all around. I definitely got smoked the first game before I figured things out...

Love the art, it looks very polished. The gameplay feels hard and finnicky but not to the point of being frustrating. It's the kind of game that you can get good at if you put in the time.

Pretty fun game. There's so much you have to account to, so never felt boring or doing nothing in a skirmish. Sadly for me, I couldn't find another enemy after 2 subs, so things got a bit boring. Something other than text tutorial would also help. Sound design and Art is really good, though!

Such a cool concept with beautiful artwork and audio. It's hard track enemy ships with the limited sonar, and trying to line up any shots on them without getting hit feels impossible, but it was definitely fun to try. The animations and feedback from each console felt great, very cute and bouncy. The "game-over" was kind of abrupt and jarring, but jams gonna jam :sweat_smile: Great job yall!

Love the hectic multitasking, only made worse by the constant beeping! Looks great, plays great, stressed me the fuck out - amazing game!

Difficult to play but super fun to juggle between the actions, animations and feedback from controls were great, only got stuck on turning a few times. Great sounds, audio, theme execution.

If definitely couldn't manage to land a single hit, but trying to survive was fun. This could be turned into a local coop multiplayer!

Cool idea, great graphics. Balance feels a little bit off, maybe after more attempts it gets better. The main issue is the lack of feedback when I destroy enemy submarine: currently it's difficult to tell. I know that it doesn't fit perfectly with sonar but maybe just a text with "enemy destroyed" or sth like that.

I think you should include some defeat message, going straight to the menu feels bad, especially with such professionally feeling graphics. The same with lack of quit button, maybe include pause too.

Anyway, nice game.

Really gooood! ^^ I like it a lot, I felt like it was very well balanced between time needed at each station.
I think I was close to winning after 30mins and a dumb mistake I lost everything :sweat_smile: great game!
