Great work! I could play this for hours. Atmospheric, good gameplay. With a bit of polish, I'd be willing to pay for it. Keep it up!
Liked the art style, the 3D and 2D elements together made for a good effect. But fell into the trap of enjoying pootling around through the depths and took my eye off the oxygen levels. Gah!
I've seen several games involving drill machines, but this is the first submarine one. I definitely like the combination, especially with the style of graphics and good audio backing it up. You made a lot of progress, but like someone else said, with a bit of polish this could be pretty cool. Good work!
Wow! Very awesome! Great job. Would be cool if the nearest port showed up on your compass.
Incredibly well done! It looks great, the sound is perfect and fits the games, and it also has enough content. Awesome job!
It's fun. it could be a bit more polished but the juice is definitely there. most of everything, there's a really nice atmosphere.
Excellent mood. Really liked the moment where you had to surface to recharge air.
I would just make the camera more over the shoulder.
As soon as I opened up the WebPlayer and got into the level I knew it was going to be great and it was. I love the uniqueness because personally i've never played a game like this.
Wow, you really make an atmosphere of deep ocean. Nice art, mixed with audio -> great mood.
Loved the music, but i found the game too complex for my tastes. Anyway, the art is really great.
Very fun game. Oxygen usage is too fast, but is very atmospheric and somewhat unique.
Wow, amazing work! I really like the visual style and the music. Gameplay is fun but maybe a little too slow paced...
Great game! Enjoyed just driving around, controls were really nice. Sound and art were good as well. Overall one of my favourites so far!
What kind of submarine has to go above water to get air every 5 minutes? :P
I like this. Id have the feeling it tries to be a lot of things at the same time, which does make it feel a bit "cluttered". Maybe it would have been better to remove one or two features and focus on the rest, imo.
But all in all this is pretty fun! And quite impressive given the time span :)
Awesome game, the camera felt a little bit off at times but it was pretty damn fun, amazing you got this done in such a quick span of time!
The idea of the game is good but I got bored playing the game very fast
Pretty impressive 3D graphics. I like the music too. Having to surface for air seemed a little unnecessary, but pretty fun overall.
I played Cure the Infected last time. Nice to see your work again. I must say I'm impressed by the amount of content and the atmosphere on this one. The moment I surfaced from an underwater ravine and saw a little town in the distance I had to recheck this was a 48 comp submission. I'll come back again after rating some others to play some more, lots of fun.
Nice game! That's a lot of content packed into 48 hours. Nice hook for future work too...
I love the arcadey feel this gives, the camera position feels awkward but that's exactly what makes it work. Great mood and good music, love it!
Visually very impresive for a compo entry, it reminded me of Darwinia. I thought the gameplay was simple, but apart from that good job!
Excellently done. It was a little difficult to judge where the harpoons were going, but the extra bubble dots showing the path helped a lot. Would be neat to see this run on the Oculus Rift to give it that extra dimension.
Nice! Love the feeling of depth when looking down at from the surface. I think there might be a bug with selling crystals? I end up with only $5 after selling any amount of them.
Very very well done. It did feel abit tooo slow for me, but the whole perpective was interesting. Cool graphics too. :) Thanks for this game.
Impressive amount of content for 48 hours. The ambiance is just perfect but I think the slow controls take the fun away...
Really nice graphics and audio (especially that creepy tune at the end), though the controls were a bit difficult to work with on my laptop. I would've liked the enemies to have been a bit more threatening, but overall I had a good time with this. Never realized you could surface for air since I used pickups and ports to restock. Also didn't realize I had limited ammo until I'd burned through all of my harpoons within five seconds of starting the game. :P
Thank you everyone for your comments. It's so appreciated to have feedback ! I'm working on a new version of the game that will be more challenging, a more fast paced game. Thank you again for your feedback and bugs reporting, you are amazing guys !
Fun little game. Maybe make the vertical exploration better with upgrades to the hull to withstand higher pressures. Maybe add rival subs or dangerous sharks as well.
I found the camera and aiming controls to be a bit unorthodox, but nothing game breaking thankfully! Great low poly graphics!
Very good game with a lot of stuff to do! Has potential for a bigger game ;-)
This one has a lot of potential. A few thoughts:
- Going up to the surface for air takes a long time and it's pretty boring - there's a lot of empty space near the surface. Air bubbles or something similar would work better.
- Visualize the different stats (air, battery, harpoon, etc.). Doesn't need to be anything flashy, but it's much easier to keep track of.
- More audio feedback. When I collect a crystal, I should know it!
dat sonar ping! ouch! I found the controls a bit unwieldy, felt like I went upwards quite slow, ended up dying from lack of oxygen pretty early on. The music was pretty decent though and I thought the graphics were neat (albeit simplistic)
Very good game, cool audio and nice graphics, but... is that really needed right button to move camera?
Pretty good one, nicely rounded with lots and lots of features, though overall it felt unfocused and not quite interesting enough to keep my attention.
It's a neat environment. I like the fog color approximating the depth. Just add bubbles to round it out.
Gameplay-wise, a little more direction would help. I didn't really know what I needed gold and crystals for... to collect more gold and crystals? Sea creatures didn't interfere enough to even shoot them.
Nice gameplay and audio. Impressive work for 48h, well done!
One of my favorite entries I've rated - I liked the art style - a mix of 3D and 2D was interesting, and there was a number of cool mechanics and things to keep track of. Great entry!

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.
Great game. I enjoyed the fact that there were so many different things to do and keep track of... gives the game depth and replay value. Great music for the environment too.
