I loved this game! Very simple and arcade like but also very fun!
Thanks for playing, happy to hear you had fun with it.
Good theme, art and gameplay.
your game has good tutorial of all the games i have played in this jam
Btw I want to ask where you get background image in your game?
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
The background I used is part of Ansimuz' Legacy Collection, a public domain asset pack. I used the two background layers "as is" for the game and edited some of the third layer available in the pack to make the objects passing in the foreground.
Fun game! It was fun dodging lights! I liked that all the danger had the same look. Great tutorial! The sound worked well! Solid game loop!
Thanks for playing, happy to hear you liked it!
Nice game! The atmosphere of the game is well polished and overall fun to play :)
Thanks for playing, glad you had fun with it!
Good idea and nice game. The audio part is great.
Thanks for playing!
A buddy of mine pointed me to this one. Great concept and execution. Loved the idea you cannot shoot the divers. Nice complexity and well done tutorial opening
Thanks for playing!
Cool game! As others said, it has a great tutorial and introduction of the obstacles. I really liked the submarine sprite and the atmosphere generated by the lights :)
Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Cool game and really well done tutorial! I also loved the overall vibe, once you got into the game proper the combo of the sound design and art really sold the stealthy but also high stakes feel. Nice work!
Thanks for playing! Liking your description of the essence of the game that I went for and I'm glad that it resonated with you.
I loved how the tutorial introduced each element individually and made sure the player grasped the concept before moving on. The art and atmosphere were great! Nicely done!
Thanks for playing! Happy to hear the tutorial worked as intended because I added it last minute and was a little afraid I might have overlooked something that could softlock the player.
Loved that you added a very well done tutorial, good job on the entry!
Thanks for playing!
The game was really well put together, introducing each element one at a time was nice. the whole game was easy to grasp, and then became very intricate when you needed to deal with all of them at the same time. i also really enjoyed the art style, the atmosphere and just the feel . great job!
Thanks for playing and sharing your impressions, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is a cool entry, easy to understand but still requires some skill. It's all very well put together. I'd of liked the option to control the submarine with the keyboard instead of the mouse. Congrats.
Thanks for playing and your feedback! I really wanted to give the option for both but after optimizing a lot for mouse movement, I didn't have the time to test whether the keyboard offered a similar level of challenge and precision. That's why I decided to not include it in the end.
Cool atmosphere, art and sound design work great. Controls are very pleasant and easy to get started. My only issue was to figure the bombs' detection area, great work!
Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Nice game ! The idea is simple and that what made it fun to play
Thanks for playing, happy to hear you had fun!
This was a fun one! Brings back that arcade feel from my youth. And who doesn't love a submarine game. Nicely done!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
I don't think I got very far because skill issue reasons lol I wished there was a pause screen but I suppose that wouldn't be very arcade-y haha
I enjoyed the simplicity and classic feel of the design and skill-based gameplay
Thanks for playing! I didn't really think of a pause screen other than the menu (which is also not exactly true to arcade). Might be a good quality of life feature to consider.
It's fun!
The bombs are hard to hit, and easy to hurt you.... It's quite hard, but still a really good game.
Thanks for playing! Happy to hear you liked it. I intentionally tried recreating the arcade game difficulty level that was mainly about extracting quarters from players for trying over and over to beat their highscores in very unforgiving games. There is a difficulty setting in the options though for a slightly calmer start.
It was such a nice experience! really a big fan of the pixealrt and gameplay! keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing!
Hey, great game, I followed your comment on my own game to get here.
The game was fun and fit the theme well, great atmosphere and accessibility. I found the game quite hard so I appreciated that I could turn down the difficulty! Excellent work on the graphics, sound and gameplay.
Thanks for playing and your feedback!
