Cute game! I included it in my Wowie Jam 2.0 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Submitted

Certainly a creative idea. I think the controls of dragging and menu use are just not convenient at all though. I think what also you could do to take your game to the next level is to add feedback elements (definitely sounds, also some shake and some particle effects).

Developer

the controls are meant to be difficult. I am working on a version where I'll split it to small levels in so people could get used to it. It will have better graphics but no particles

Submitted

cute little game and of course brilliant music.

Developer(+1)

haha the music was really a last minute effort, but I think it was essential with the yellow sub

Submitted(+1)

Exactly :D that's why I loved it

Submitted

Good Game :D. But it could do with some better visuals and some extra instructions or story.

if you would like to test my game:

After the jam I'm going to try and redo it, but use a slightly more suffisticated rendering method and split it to levels so that people could get the concept it the controls a little easier.


Thanks for playing!

Funny game, enjoyed playing it.

Weird game...lovely!

Great idea, definitely keep working at it. I think the controls could be improved by having displays of your speed and perhaps key bindings rather than mouse drags.

Great work!

A submarine game, I love submarine good choice.

Submitted

the movement is kinda weird... I didn't understand it

Developer

Yea maybe the explanation goes away too quickly.  Even when you see it it's tricky to get the hang of it

Fun to just swim about for a bit! I feel like it'd be nicer with keyboard controls, as you lack er... control just using the mouse.

Also fun to just spam your speed up :p

Developer

psst...

there is keyboard control... I just thought it was too easy with it so I switched to mouse... But it still works, just hidden :)

Submitted(+1)

Well...I mean I had a blast x))
I kinda linked the graphics and sounds, but y'know...I don't know why, I had fun circling around in my submarine and hitting seaweeds...yeahhhhh I liked it x)

Developer

did you get the chest tho? That's the real question

Submitted

i know the theme was intentional bugs, but the game is just unplayable... i hit a wall and start spinning, hit a seaweed and start flying and i flew away from the map

Developer

those are 2 of the 3 bugs in the game, and it's EXTREMELY frustrating. I did tag it as frustrating but I suppose if you go to the page from the jam page you don't see those tags.


Thanks for the feedback!

i loved the graphics and soundtrack! controls were a bit difficult for me to get the hang of (kept popping outta the pool) but overall still enjoyed the experience!

Developer

I added a reset button but it IS possible to get back in after flying out.

Submitted(+1)

nice little game

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

i suffered from controls, lack of sound effects, flying outside of the map and bumping everywhere multiple times.

Developer

the game could really benefit from some sfx. Controls are meant to be frustrating otherwise the game is super easy. And getting pushed outside is perhaps a boring bug but still counts as a bug.

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice soundtrack ;-) 

And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

Developer

Heh not very original I know. Glad I was able to pull something together

Submitted

I didn't know what to do and the controls were very quirky I just spun into the void out of the sea.

Developer

The controls are straight up evil :)


Drag the mouse to move up,down, left right

Forward and back have buttons on screen

And yes, you will get ejected several times... There is a reset button

Submitted

Never gonna get it :(

Developer

I can't say it's impossible, but definitely not intuitive

I spun into infinity i want to get off the submarine please help

Developer

lol there's a reset button for a reason, but you CAN recover
