It's a submarine game! At least part of it happens beneath the surface of water.
You're the captain of U-XXX. You have received a report - there's quite a few ships moving through your sector. You are to sink them all! Be careful, as it is probably not just small merchants going through.
I have wanted to make a submarine game for quite some time now, so it has been a fun project for me. Hope you enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoyed making it ;)
btw, something I forgot to write in the menu - you can toggle the orders and the map menu by clicking on it
ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION: use your mouse scrollwheel to zoom the camera in or out

Great water effect but agree the destroyers are a little too powerful
Fun game. Controls are a bit strange, but the graphics and gameplay were well executed.
Definitely liked the use of the water, however the instructions weren't very clear and I kept getting destroyed before I had a chance to attack.
Had a hard time to find some enemies on my first run, but it improved with extra runs. There's a lot of cooldown with torpedoes, but once you master it there's a chance to kill some enemies.
Water has some nice effects!
Destroyers are overpowered, yeah :)
Well, the destroyers are there to pretty much hunt you down. Nobody said attacking with a submarine is an easy job ;)
I really liked this. Not sure if enemy ships wandering/being lured into mines is deliberate, but it is fun.
Well implemented, nice idea, but I feel the gameplay is alittle bit weird.. too hard to manouver maybe..
Really cool! I wish the controls were a bit more responsive (even if less realistic), and the pacing is a bit slow, although it you could draw out the dramatic tension a bit that last part could be a bonus. Overall one of the most fun games I've rated this Ludum Dare.
Fun little sub game. Definitely fits the theme, and has some cool graphics. The water effects and ship model are especially nice!
I like the graphics and the idea overall but the controls need some work. Good job!
A very solid entry. You really did a good job of creating a realistic feeling to the performance of the sub.
Very fun game. Controls are OK, but destroyers are tough... Really cool mechanics.
The water graphics are good, and the controls are interesting. It would be a lot of fun, but either the controls are inverted, or you programmed it backwards, which led to me running straight into ships while trying to get away from them. It also feels weird when the convoy ships are sitting ducks, and the destroyers are over-powered killing machines. You don't stand a chance if you take on more than two. Though with a little more time and testing, it would have been a great game.

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
This was fun! Those destroyers are little overpowered though, there is no way to hide from them after they have seen you - other than destroying them :)
