Controls are tough, but neat once you get a handle on it.

Not a bad idea, but it's unfortunate how easy it is to get stuck on the walls / get stuck gradually rotating in some direction :(

Impressive work in 48 hours, especially the art and soundtrack!

The controls were difficult to get started with, but after a while you get used to them.

The reset button 'R' doesn't seem to do anything, at least on Firefox. The music is cool, nice job! :)

It would be nice to be able to press a button like 'H' to temporarily pause and review the controls. They are fiddly, more so than a normal FPS-style system, but I imagine that's on purpose.

The first time I found a treasure chest I couldn't figure out how to pick it up and just tried driving near it, but I seemed to have gotten it afterwards, so it must have worked. Is there a notification sound or indication when it happens?

Neat atmosphere. Overall the walls and controls counteract that a bit though.

I spent the first 10 minutes just spinning around crazily!

At first I was like "eugh" but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun! I managed to collect 5 treasures, and then got lost. :{

The controls were a bit hard to get my head around, and at some point I got stuck in a spin and that became frustrating. Aside from that, I thought the map was fantastic and I had a lot of fun exploring the depths.

Haha! The graphics, audio, and everything was really cool! The controls were a bit difficult though, I forgot everything when I pressed play!

Well, those controls certainly took me for a ride. I do love me some underwater exploration, though :)

Menu is really nice :) Haven't got a patience to look for chests... Would help if sub were to auto level-off (i.e. keep horizon)

Like others said, hard to control at first - once you get turned the wrong way it's really hard to right yourself. Gets easier with a little practice.

Really like the visual style, you got the underwater look down pretty well.

Calming music. Sounds great!

Managed to get 1 treasure. You must have hidden the others pretty well.

This feels great - good job on the lighting to get that deep submerged feel.

Took me a while to understand the controls. I was like "OMG, so many things to keep in mind". Your game is ambitious, and I like where you took it. I didn't really like the music, though.

It's just too large for my screen.

Interesting controller that takes getting used to but had a nice underwater feel. The level looks nice, and the music is also quite good. Well done.

Controls were a little difficult to get used to initally and led to me getting stuck in the walls a few times but eventually got the hang of it. Nicely presented, the lighting felt just right for that underwater feeling.

Cool musique, controls are cool, I rolled a lot everywhere :) Ambience is nice !

rogberth 2014-04-29 07:23

Hard to operate, I always end up upside down. Nice graphics and music!

dustystylus 2014-04-29 14:03

Interesting controls... but very pretty game. Nice models as well.

Nice work! Fun little world and good graphics :)
