This game was really stressful, but, extremely compelling.
9/10 would play again.

This fits the theme extremely well. There's nothing spookier than heading in one direction, using the sonar, and then flipping biscuits trying to turn the other way to avoid the monster that's directly in front of you. Great job! :)

That was fun to play. But i wish there was more happening. And another minor complaint - i would rebind 1 and 2 keys to somethign else.

Interesting. Didn't really have a problem with the keys. I've tried to catch fish for a few times, then couldn't understand my sudden deaths at first. And those would come so soon, it would almost startle me as it I would be caught unexpected (my problem was not checking the sonar enough).
Loved it. Really captures the theme and I had a lot of fun with it.

Pretty fun game, would have liked a better animation when you lose. Good mood!

Great game with a cool concept. Well done! There's no problems with the 1 and 2 keys, but they ARE weird and unconventional, so maybe you can change them.

Good mood.
The water is scary...

Great job.

The fear of the unseen made the entire charm of this game. Wonderful take on the theme. Great work!

Really fun game.

It was a bit scary

littleball 2014-04-28 23:16

It's quite hard, but I like the idea. Well done!

galanm 2014-04-28 23:18

REALLY like the use of the theme!

dookie 2014-04-28 23:23

Hehe, you're right, this is a lot like my entry!

So I think you had a great idea, obviously, five stars for the theme ;) Seriously, though, it works pretty well. And it was pretty scary to hit the sonar and see monsters all around.

Nice idea for a game.

bonedaddy 2014-05-01 01:49

Extremely difficult. I'm always getting killed very quickly.

catman 2014-05-02 16:54

Interesting, it was quite tense!

matthias_zarzecki 2014-05-04 08:17

Lovely idea!

Button-placement on 1 and 2 is really unintuitive though.

ragzouken 2014-05-07 15:05

would be interesting to have some ability to avoid monsters after running into them blind (though obv much difficult than smartly avoiding them) - still seemed pretty doable after working it out :)
