Nice simple control, smooth movement, good job for first Javascript ! Nice pace to it, much less annoying than that dang bird.

Fun. Good controls (although it would be nice to have a keyboard option).

Scrolling is very smooth. Nice bubble trail too!

Not bad, you may want to change your instructions to let people know it's mouse controlled and not keyboard :)

Thanks for the quick feedback.. amazing, before the compo has even finished!
I have reworked things a few times and it is prettier and has better feedback (text and stuff)

64 is my best

I played this much longer than I anticipated. Solid jam game.

Classic game. The submarine feels a bit heavy, but that really not the point. It's fun.

A classic game. Always gonna be fun.

Flappy bird becomes floaty sub.

It's a copter clone. But, for your first web game, you have to start somewhere. Great job implementing this classic game :) (also add a keyboard option ;) )

Javascript master race!

I enjoyed the simplicity, good javascripting

voidqk 2014-04-30 08:16

flappy sub... :-)

Good job making your first game! Overall it needs a lot of work but this is a good start. Here are a few subjective thoughts:

The controls are smooth but they are not responsible. The way you are calculating force makes it very hard to recover from mistakes. Compare this to another flappy bird game like MaverickBird - responsive, quick, precise. With this game I often felt like the mistake was because the controls were sluggish not because I made a mistake. Whether that is true or not it is how I felt and that is a huge part of the experience.

Nice game, very fun

cybs 2014-05-01 16:15

@Dualhammers that is the style of control I wanted. It isn't suppose to be like flappy bird. The controls are responsive, but they don't apply an impulse to your character.

Very nice work for a first Javascript game! Simple gameplay, but it's not bad at all. Graphically the game could be improved and some sound effects would help, but this isn't bad at all :).

Funny.

Good use of the theme, however, it is a somewhat simple game. What I do find awesome is that you used webGL! And a very good effort if this is you first try! Keep it up!

lostautumnguy 2014-05-04 04:26

Easy to control, smooth execution.

Keep up the hard work!

er_dos 2014-05-04 05:18

Cool little game!

blazingfanfish 2014-05-04 05:21

Nice simple game. Good work!

jadams 2014-05-04 07:57

Good simple little game, especially for your first bit of js.

dustoutgames 2014-05-05 05:24

A brilliant first try. The game is very simple, but well done. The controls are smooth and responsive, and it's fun!

darknessfades 2014-05-07 22:27

Solid build and well made, but it isn't more then just next flappy bird :D

cosinep 2014-05-14 20:25

126 :D Really fun.

loxo 2014-05-18 16:18

It takes a while to get used to the slow responding controls, but after that it's a captivating game. Some audio would be nice, though.
