Really fun game! One slight visual glitch I found by accident is that the enemy fish will spin around you when you die. But I'm honestly impressed by how professional this all looks! It's so much fun to play and really deserves more recognition than this!
Fun game, the movement is very satisfying - the tilt adds to the feel - but sometimes a bit too fast for the narrow parts of the level with a lot of enemies.
Really good music and sound FX!
Would be good if you put some better feedback when you hit a collision.. overall, a great game!
One of the better games i have voted so far, i love the art style!
Great polished experience. It's funny as well, so +1 for that. I got to 24213.
Voted! Good job =)
Nice game! Love the artstyle and the calming music! I think it would be fun to see what weapon you will get or have different upgrades for weapon to allow differnet playstyles. Good job!
a unique gameplay, fun game, challenging stages and good art. Congrats
What a fun game! I like how simple but at same time difficult the game is, well done! I really enjoy the atmosphere and the fact that the sounds have a underwater effect, i nice detail.
Thanks for playing :D
Good game but why can't I towards another
Sad I didn't have someone to play coop with, but props to you for making it a feature!
I really like the submarine side to side animation, it's simple but really clean. Also I loved the bubble gun, I thought it was much more creative than traditional shooting and wish it wasn't replaced after the tutorial.
Controlling the ship and where you were shooting was unnecessarily difficult, I assume you did it to add more challenge but the game was already hard and taking control away from player hurt the experience. I wish you could just have the sub shoot where your mouse is pointing.
Anyways it was overall fun to play, nice submission!
Glad you liked it!
As I had to keep co-op in mind from the very start, I couldn't delegate aiming to the mouse as I had originally intended(Most people don't have two mouses for player 2!), so I opted to have the aim point where you're moving. However the submarine side-to-side animation looked a little funky, so I inverted it. I didn't really think about how this affected the aim at the time so it's certainly more challenging than I originally anticipated. In the future I'll be sure to spend more time in making sure these things are more well planned.
We were surprised to see a game in this jam we could play in co-op! It did seem that only one player was able to get the weapon pickup, and due to that and lack of oxygen I ended up dying and left player 1 to try and finish alone.
Co-op high score 20344.
Yes, unfortunately I did not have enough time to properly test and balance co-op mode. Hopefully you had a bit of fun regardless!
Absolutely, it was a blast :D
WHAT A GAME
No actually I had a ton of fun, my high score is 50250 and I wanna keep playing it. Enjoyable and repeatable mechanics, the music and sfx are really good and funny respectively. The art is incredible and I love the progression system.
10/10 Would buy on steam.
thanks for the help trav!
anytime!
I like the little man in my ear telling me things, his lines are pretty good. Reminds me of Deep Rock Galactic's guy. Good job on the graphics also, but sometimes the fast blue fish get right up in my grill and I can't possibly shoot them. Is there a way to avoid them?
Glad you liked it! After I had wrote a few of the lines I decided I wanted to lean into a more DRG Mission Control-like character.
As for the shark, the only way to avoid it would be to move out of it's range, but that's really just a skill issue on my part- I didn't spend enough time playtesting and balancing.
