The game got stuck on a screen with a submarine and the game name :<

@aleksey-salion The main menu? If it hangs after pressing the begin button I'd appreciate a screenshot of the browser console. I had some issues with map-generation infinite-looping, but thought I had ironed them all out.

The swordfish flipped my ship sideways so I could not go right or left anymore, but somehow I fell into a victory anyway. 10/10.

@aleksey-salion That's the main menu, yeah. I don't see any errors, but I assumed a 1080p resolution, looks like you've got more than that, so I think the Begin button is off screen for you. Sorry! Something for me to keep in mind for next time.
If it is any consolation, since some graphics effects also assume 1080p, the game would look absolutely awful if you could play it.

Cool way to make a submarine game innovative! I appreciate you not making the narwhals deadly, though I felt bad about killing them... Was fun trying to right myself after battle. Nice job!

Nice game! I loved the physics implementation. I found it a bit hard to control at times but I think that's pure skill issue :P.

I played this on a higher resolution screen and the video effects didn't render properly most likely due to the resolution as you mentioned in a prior comment which I think took a bit away from the experience and the atmosphere (I could also see the hiding spots of the narwhals haha)

Perfect jam game, just long enough to get the mechanics, which were great by the way. A little sound would be a nice touch but overall I really enjoyed this, well done!

@ace17 no, there's no sound. Not sure what Eugenik meant by that.

Nice game! Controls are a bit difficult to get used to, but very fun to learn.
Good job!

Even if it was a bit hard to control, I really enjoyed it! Good thing the torpedo explosions had a generous radius, as i was pinned to the bottom by two swordfish.

Is it a good score ^^' ?

I liked it, very arcade style. A lil too short, and is there life point for the submarine ? It felt unbreakabke :)
