YAR HAR FIDDLEY DEEEEE
(This is my second favourite game so. I love the flippy sub and shooting missiles.) I had a proper chuff YAR HAR FIDDLEY DE BEING A PIRATE IS OUR RIGHT TO BE DO WHAT YOU WANT COS A PIRATE IS FREE, YOU AREEE A PIIRRRAAATEEE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBH4g_ua5es That's my favourite sea chanty.

Anyway, on to the actual game: solid game play (My high score is 6.) it's fun, and I really enjoyed singing my own sea shanties, that is a feature most modern AAA games lack. (Wow even AC4 Black Flag didn't have it. Lame.)

Good game. The mushiness of the controls make your sub actually feel like a big, underwater, missile firin' submarine instead of just a little sprite. Also solidarity points because the final boss in my game is also a shark.

Interesting. Reminded me of 90's windows games :) Good nostalgia.

It's a nice touch how the explosion is area-effect and also propels everything away (including your sub!).

This was pretty fun, actually. Basic controls and the drifting of the submarine works really well. Also, I quite fancied the bubble parallaxing :D

Yay! Someone else who did a sub game! Your sub is very satisfying to control with nice particle trail. Missile are maybe a bit tricky to fire against the fast moving sharks but if you wait until the last moment to shoot, it's easier. Nicely done - I hope you continue with this project post-LD!
