Hard and cool game. Only the control is a little bit difficult. :D
Cool game - very Super Crate Box, with bit of EVO thrown in.
Controls were a bit slippy, and could do with a bit of balancing but enjoyed it.
nice game.. very fast, some serious weapon effects
btw. got accidentally stuck into one rock, couldn't move anymore (twitching in one place), had to reload webplayer
I liked the environment in the game because of the number of creatures, it didn't get boring. However, the controls were tricky for me precision wise.
Bonkers little shooter, nice graphics & range of weapons too! Only main complaint is the controls're a bit slippery, but still managed a score of 30 odd :D
A fun enjoyable game, quite repetetive but I enjoyed playing it nonetheless!
Fun game! I enjoyed picking up the different weapons and blasting away. A few comments:
- The controls were kind of awkward. Many a time I was moving in one direction, tapped in the other to turn round and shoot, but the direction didn't change until the momentum did. This makes it really hard to pull of cool shots!
- Can you shoot the big black shark thing? Didn't work for me...
I like how varied the creatures are.
Controls are a bit awkward though.
A lot of fun, very functional. If there's any issue this game has, its ludonarrative dissonance, but that's forgivable.
@somethingsimilar the black Shark is a Whale and its your secret friend :)
I tried the Android Version and it's not easy to control, but the game is beautiful, there are many ennemies and many weapons, I like it :)
LibGDX is awesome!
Great art. The camera shake really helped the weapons feel good. I wish the controls were a bit more tight.
I liked the game. It was a bit more of a surface massacre than a surface battle, though.
I like the idea and the way the fish respondes to input!
Didn't quite like shooting with X and moving with WASD, but worked cool when I moved with WASD and shot with enter.
Wouldve liked it more if the chests were upgrades rather than just a random weapon I think! Progression is always fun!
OMG it looks incredible, I love the parallax scrolling, the animations and its overall really addictive. Great entry!
This was pretty fun, nice job adding a screen shake, really helps the 'feel' of the game :)
Really cool Graphics, specially the backgrounds. The life meter should be a bit more noticeable, I did not see it on m first play through. Also some feedback when you are hit would be nice. Thanks for the game!
Use of Lazers: APPROVED! Give the weapons some kickback when the shoot and it'll really sing.

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.
Very dangerous aquarium ! ;) I have really enjoy this game, thanks !
