This is a very well done game. I LOVE the pixel art and the bubbles are fantastic. The gameplay feels solid, and everything works as you would expect! This is the type of game that makes the top 100. I would have like some sounds, but I am not complaining because the other aspects of the game were done so well. Keep. it. up! I look forward to what you make in the future!

Cool game, liked the idea. Maybe sonar feedback about nearby enemies would help, but it's a cool start.

Really solid entry with lovely visuals. You have a real talent there. Interestingly, I joined Criterion around the time Sub Culture came out - and they then went on to release Deep Fighter. I didn't work on those games though - I was building RenderWare. And now my game is about salvaging in a submarine too! ;o)

Agreed, the pixel art is lovely, and the concept is so very simple, but works :) it's a shame there's no audio, I'd of loved to have heard the effect of exploding a whale!

Great work! The style and feel of the game is great. Only thing I think could have changed was enemy fire rate, but that is nit-picking. Good luck in the compo.

Very well polished. Art are amazing.

Very polished game! I'm surprised you could clean your code so much in this 48 hours! Congratz bro! Amazing art btw!

Great graphics, and particle effects.

It is very polished, nice graphics, It would be great if it had more to do.

Very nice graphics and a good core. Needs some polish and sound to be really awesome.

Very nice game. Do you plan a post compo version with sound? That would be great. I really like that game.

This looks great! I like the bubbles and the sharks the most!
It get's really easy when pressing X and C rapidely - some ammo would've been a good idea! Oh and a boost which needs to recharge, so you can have more tactical fights!
This really would've needed some proper audio, especially a mystical chiptune as background music! :)

All in all a really cool game, which I would consider buying when it's polished, extended and has audio.

Good stuff. Love how the depth/darkness thing works. This is going to sound weird but I like how the shark died. Would've liked some sounds, that helps with awareness when it comes to enemies like the subs and stuff too. And when you get one of those creepy fish in the flashlight beam you hear a horror piano stab... you know

Really well made little game and lovely pixel graphics! With some sound and story this could really go a long way! Enemies moved a bit fast and with unlimited ammo I ended upp just spamming missiles all the time to survive.

Very, very well done game. Love the graphics and playing it. I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/ruvs0qoO4zU
