That was great :3 I love it

cr2crstudios 2014-04-27 01:43

I like how the sharks just get bigger and bigger. . . :)

hanoth 2014-04-27 02:57

I like the look and feel of this.

Good game but there isn't an ammo counter, so if I go straight in a line and shoot torpedoes I won't die. Improve it.
Good game.

jpdev 2014-04-27 09:52

Thank you all for the feedback.

to Recon:
- there is now a score, if you shoot and hit nothing you are punished
- there are now rocks so you can't stay in a straight line on the lower half of the screen
- there will be enemy submarines on the top half of the screen... (not yet though)

Is a cool little concept :) Yet I believe it lacks some gameplay and art. If you were to add extra ways to gather points that'd be cool!

jpdev 2014-04-27 15:23

Okay, I am done now.
Latest features: enemy submarine and a completion screen

Enjoy :)

Nice, cook art. and Controls were just floaty enough.

danman9914 2014-04-28 02:45

The controls are floaty in a good way: it feels like you're steering a submarine. Blowing up sharks is very satisfying.

sfbtom 2014-04-28 02:46

Neat, who doesn't like blowing up sharks? The music was really nice too!

louiscarl 2014-04-28 02:47

Love it! With the slow torpedoes, hitting a shark is just terribly satisfying!

greenyuk 2014-04-28 02:47

Solid game. Found it a bit slow but nice work overall :)

skencer 2014-04-28 03:32

I enjoyed this game overall. I thought that the sub was a bit hard to move, but then again anything underwater should be.

jrap 2014-04-28 04:07

If I were more educated on animal rights, I'd have some serious concerns about this game.

strd6 2014-04-28 04:11

Really fun, the movement and torpedo shooting feels just right!

sknoslo 2014-04-28 04:12

Love that you drew the art on paper. Quite fun.

xeke_death 2014-04-28 07:42

Whoa, full screen loading bar..! That's kinda cool...
+1 for sharks, +1 for EXPLOSIONS, and +1 for shark gibs..! End of game stats are always awesome...
I like how the sub gets damaged as you ram sharks...

oal 2014-04-28 08:33

Really nice cartoony look. Good job on the controls as well - it feels like you're under water.

monaarc 2014-04-28 10:40

Nice but where are the other submarines to shoot ?

jpdev 2014-04-28 11:39

Thanks for all the feedback.

monaarc: After ten shark-kills you get one submarine, then it's ten shark-kills again.

papygaragos 2014-04-28 12:43

It's nice to come across sounds made with sfxr that are NOT a pain to the ears. Thank you :)

pancakecity 2014-04-28 19:11

I love that scrolling algae! The controls are very smooth.

crefossus 2014-04-29 06:23

Good sound design. The sharks exploding is satisfying. The gameplay is a little sluggish, but it's a finished game. I also liked the stats at the end - that could go somewhere a la jetpackjoy ride missions.

daneestar 2014-04-29 06:51

I like the music! Nice graphics.
I also like the summary at the end with all the achievements.

But a health meter for my submarine would be great and some powerups or something.

gaspard_ 2014-04-29 13:48

I liked the summary at the end, I was wondering: is it possible to get a positive score?
I think it could be easily improved, but for 48 hours this is quite good.

cawrtz 2014-04-29 17:08

This game is very fun to play, you did a great job on it. The difficulty is increasing just as it should, the inertia of the submarine adds difficulty. The graphics/audio are pleasant. Kept me entertained for quite a long time :)

jpdev 2014-04-29 20:11

Thanks again for the comments.

@Gaspard: yes, positive score is no problem, you get -5 for each shot you miss, just don't miss and you're golden ;)

pandavigoureux 2014-04-29 20:35

Nice shmup. I would have expected the torpedos to be launched in the direction of the submarine ( not always horizontally ). Is that a choice?

paperblurt 2014-04-30 07:05

Pretty cool game.
I like the little detail with how the submarine gets banged up!

kasarun 2014-05-02 07:53

Really loved this one - well done parallax. Graphics are dope :)

rojo 2014-05-04 06:10

Not bad. The sub movement felt pretty smooth, and the parallaxing looked nice.

mrjohnson22 2014-05-05 02:11

This is a fun little game. It doesn't break any barriers, but it's a run romp I can come back to now and then. And I must admit that the controls & speeds of everything feel just right, as does the rate at which the sharks get bigger and bigger. Good work!

alwaysinbeta 2014-05-05 22:35

Really good fun. I love the art, with the seaweed layer up close and the sub movement feels good. Audio was cool too.

voider 2014-05-06 14:12

Good job, liked how the movement/controls are working.

end3r 2014-05-18 12:11

Cool game with nice overall feeling.

iamspencer 2014-05-19 21:14

loved the way the sub controlled, it felt like it was really under water, great work!
