Great job on the bubble particles and artwork. I also like how you made use of all directions in the level design, since it is a sub after all.

Nice graphics, nice audio, nice animations ! The game lacks a bit of fun, but good execution, the bubble are nice. The level design is cool too, good job.

The art is nice to look at!

A shame it isn't a bigger game.

I'm getting an error (on Linux running from source). You should build a .love file for us linux users (as much as we love source).

Error: cannot open ./screen-data.lua: No such file or directory

While the game seems technically well made, it lacks real gameplay. With only two types of obstacles each only used in one way, there's nothing to engage the player. The music was good though, and the bubble effect looked nice.

Interesting idea. It would be nice if there were a game over screen for success and failure.

arrogant.gamer: Yeah this is because I use "dofile" which doesn't look inside the Zip file. You have to copy screen-data.lua into the directory the game runs from, the .love file alone isn't enough.

Hey look another submarine game :) mines a sub game. wasnt sure what to do but cool!

The game works well but I would have liked it to be more "clear" on the winning conditions. Also, a little bit more variety when it comes to challenged would have been nice. I enjoyed exploring it, I wish there was more to discover. Like the music!

arrogant.gamer: DesertRock said it would be okay to patch this since it doesn't affect gameplay. So now I've uploaded a version 3.0.1 of the LOVE file which should work on any LOVE 0.9

Nice and moody, music works well with it. I couldn't figure out what to do once I scanned all the statues, though.

Not entirely sure what was meant to happen when all the statues had been scanned. Still, a good game with nice visuals and music!

Really great music! I like how it progressed when I touched another statue. Also the bubbles coming from the back was neat
