Graphics are nice and clean. This is fun. Music is excellent.

Excelent entry. Nice graphics and sound, and the gameplay is good too.

This was pretty fun! The torpedoes seemed to move in a strange manner when moving, but that was still cool! And that "Why?!" section xD

fuzzywuzzie 2014-04-28 19:09

Nice graphics and controls. I had way more fun than I care to admit "dive-bombing" the subs. Well done!

vitor-navarro 2014-04-28 20:00

An awesome entry!!! You mixed the reality with the theme, I see a bit of humor in that, which I liked it. The audio is quite good and don't get in the way if you play lots of times. Please I want to see more, continue it further ;)

Very fun game! Controls were fluid, music was great, great job!

joao-kucera 2014-04-29 00:24

Awesome game! The music magnifies the mood!

pedro-thiers 2014-04-29 02:24

Nice and clean. I just loved the menu, it was awesome! It felt good to dodge that many torpedoes too

pedro-thiers 2014-04-29 02:26

not to mention the tension building soundtrack. That was epic stuff, guys

leparlon 2014-04-29 02:32

Ok, that was awesome. Art and sound were the best things, but the game was also fun. Good job. For some reason I was confused with how the torpedoes moved on the beginning, but just on the first play-through, then it became a fun thing, go figure.

Great coherent aesthetic! I had a little trouble with the dolphin and the projectiles being the same color, but I love how well the simple bubble effect worked.

lanoiadimuu 2014-04-29 10:29

Great game, one of the best I've played until now. It's fun, visually pleasing and with a great background song.

As a last note, the "Why?" section is a lie: I'm not sure you weren't on drugs when you had this game idea. :)

frickajr 2014-04-29 13:50

dolphin shooter... hilarious!

bubuiic 2014-04-29 17:22

I love the music and the graphics. Very nicely done!

augustsnow 2014-04-29 17:24

Really fun, great execution of a simple theme

sir_json 2014-04-29 17:25

Russian dolphins... fuck yeah!

thegamingproject 2014-04-29 17:32

Super fun game! I really enjoyed it.

bmacintosh 2014-04-29 17:35

Very polished. I found a circle-strafing type of strategy to be ridiculously effective, though, because the enemy doesn't lead their shots at all. That would be a good addition. I was also a bit miffed that the wikipedia link didn't open in a new tab.

arcturusdeluxe 2014-04-29 21:43

This is awesome. One of my favourite games in the compo so far. The presentation is spot on, love the graphics and the music. And above all, its fun. I liked jumping out of the water for some reason.

buriteam 2014-04-29 22:21

I spent some good time playing this. The controls are tight! I loved circling around enemies deploying everything at them, how everything moved and so on.

I just didn't like much destroying the boats. Once you get over the surface it just seems like luck that didnt make you die.

zanenga 2014-04-30 03:10

Good game! I like the controls.

ragzouken 2014-04-30 21:40

any game where you are a dolphin gets my vote!

oxy 2014-04-30 22:00

Awesome.

dookie 2014-04-30 22:03

Man that is one intense little dolphin. Fun game :)

joshua_burr 2014-04-30 22:04

This was really fun. It controlled very well.

degtyarev 2014-04-30 22:08

AWESOME game!
Underwater luftraisers. I think i found a game braking strategy: swim up and down shooting missiles in the enemy but keep a distance of one screen or more. It seems enemies stop shooting at you if you are too distant from them and you could just destroy them from safety.

Also nice music!

ltyrosine 2014-05-02 00:07

Amazing game. Nice mood, nice graphics.

danialhyatt 2014-05-02 00:24

Nice one! I like everything about it except the screen when you die that says you are a shame. Other than that its really ghood

rojo 2014-05-02 01:08

Nice visual and aural aesthetic.

mintarcade 2014-05-02 09:15

Fun game. Very fast and attractive.

nezzhil 2014-05-02 09:32

Really funny game with a great atmosphere!
The music add a lot to the game, props to the music!

The only bad thing is that I was stuck in the rocks more than one or two times, and the only thing that I could do to continue playing was start by the begining again :(

baykush_figtree 2014-05-02 13:16

@nezzhill thanks for the bug report. those rocks where a real headache.
@BMacIntosh yeah that link thing sucks. But Unity can't open a link in a new tab without some javascript on the hosting webpage and you know....48 hours :(
@danialhyatt it is suposed to feel like an iron-heart general is scolding you for the failure. hehe.
war is cruel.

Thanks for the feedback goodness, people! We'll be taking the project forward....but not much. I believe it' beauty lies in simplicity. A chaotic, fish-smelling simplicity.

The final wave wasn't suposed to exist in the original plan. I've added it during the final hour of development and it came out absolutely unbalanced haha

I will definitely write a post mortem on that one.

And for everyone that enjoyed the SFX and music: Leo's souncloud, bandcamp and website links are inside the game (I'll add to the game's description soon). He does wonderful and atmospheric music and deserves your ear's attention :)

xenosns 2014-05-03 00:53

Nice! Underwater luftrasers :-)

curiousexpedition 2014-05-03 00:56

Really really liked the main menu music and the overall style and mood. Smooth gameplay too.

phocker 2014-05-03 02:16

really nice game - tight controls and easy to play - great job

hartlaboratories 2014-05-03 02:24

Nice fun sharp game. Jumped out onto the cliffs and got stuck though!

jod 2014-05-03 21:45

Gorgeous graphics and sound form a very coherent and smooth Jam entry! Well done indeed. I love jumping out of the water over the big battleships!

mventurelli 2014-05-04 20:51

Fucking awesome :D

crocantidepollo 2014-05-04 22:20

Nicely done. Quite entertaining

dector 2014-05-05 00:13

Very atmospheric and challenging stuff. But filling helpless while jumping into the air.

conormn 2014-05-05 05:29

WOW, really well done. Well done all around.

idovingx 2014-05-06 19:34

nice work, man! i feel like many games of this type are way too hard and have you dying every 15 seconds. also thanks for putting my game, jeremy brain, at #2 on your list! that was nice of you. you should follow me on twitter @jessebarksdale and i'll follow you back. it'd be a good way to keep in touch :)

csanyk 2014-05-10 14:49

Best sound. Very fun and challenging. The surface ships are really tough since you can't attack them from below, and when you're in the air you can't control movement. I would have liked to seen the destroyed subs sinking down and pile up on the bottom.

moosefly 2014-05-13 22:11

While it was somewhat fun (played till level 5 before I got too frustrated), I think that it included too many RNG elements and the controls weren't tight enough. The control problem became mainly apparent when I noticed a torpedo coming at me full speed from outside the screen. RNG was worst when trying to sink the ships, like Buriteam mentioned.

Cool graphics and audio though, and the menu was really stylish and inviting.
