Out of the games I've played so far I played this one the longest! Your team did a great job, really like the graphics and the gameplay mechanics. I will definitely give this one another play! Found 1 or 2 times where upgrade button lights up other upgrade buttons, couldn't tell if this was intentional or not. Overall though two thumbs up
GREAT entry! It was hard, but that's a good thing. Love the upgrade options and idea, ran great, looked great!
Great Game! The Graphics Look Great! I still have yet to find the Red October though. :] Great Job! I think this is my favorite as of yet.
Great mood, beside siple shapes. Excellent work!
Nice little game! Fun concept, effective graphics, sound is simple but functional. Ran into a small bug where the sub got confused/couldn't decide its orientation when moving straight up or down. Also the lighting mechanics could do with a little explanation -- I couldn't get the green glow shown in the screenshot, just total darkness.
It has been fun and I liked the mechanics of upgrading the submarine. I wish the upgrades were more significant. Great work!
Solid game. I really like the visual style, the lighting made it very atmospheric. The controls and gameplay was smooth, it was fun exploring the depths. I liked the puzzle to get the sonar.
Only point I can find to critizise is that the hull damage sound effect was too loud.
Nice game. I loved the upgrade elements, but idk if it was meant to get the money value in minus or it is a bug. Also it would have been better if there is any visual feedback that tells me i successfully attached the box to the ship or no, because most of the time i was thinking it is hooked, and once i accelerated i figure out it is not! Good artstyle, and atmosphere too. good job!

Update: I have found the Red October Box! Definitely my favorite game of Ludum Dare 39 right now.

Very nice. i liked the atmosphere. I had to stop playing after 5 minutes though because i couldn't stand the sounds of power being low and ship getting hit. I'm sorry :(
Nice jam game, everything is self-explanatory, I like that a lot. I was just annoyed by the camera placement, I would like to see further where I'm going rather than where I come from... and the ground sometimes flickered strangely when illuminated. Eventually I managed to get the big box, tough.
Such a great game you guys made. The gameplay was intuitive, the graphics were good, the sound fit the mood very well. Overall it's a great and very polished game. The sense of pogress you get when you upgrade the sub make you want to keep playing and the game have a nice dificulty to it.
The only thing I could nitpik is the sound effects, they are a little too loud and they don't quite fit with the rest of the game. But besides that it¿s a really fun game. Good job!
Nice game, I loved graphics and music. In particular, the 3D in a 2D game. The difficulty could be ascendent, I mean, the third box is already very hard to get. So after some tries I gave up :P
It's a really well polished game. Graphics are probably the best take on "lo poly" style I've ever seen. Music sounds nice but those scratches are so horrific I had to mute the sound. Also, please next time use the name of the game in the file name, or something else to identify it among dozens of similar downloads.
This was great! Worked well in 21:9 on my ultrawide monitor as well. Graphics and audio were really nice and the gameplay was enjoyable. Nice work!
- \+ I like ingame soundtrack it's chillout as game self :) - \+ Simple voxel graphics improve game feeling :) - \+ Moving and bigger frontier, every upgrade allow you to move far and depper
- \- I play it for 20 minutes, but I don't find any kind of "end game"
This was reminiscent of games such as Thrust and Gravitar but set underwater. I thought that the graphics were very good, and the game itself had the "one more go" factor. My type of game!
The music, lighting along with (most) of the SFX made the atmosphere absolutely spot on. It really felt lonely, dark, but tranquil. Unfortunately the sharp buzzing SFX really spoiled this. Maybe some more natural sounds like a gong with lots of echo would do the trick (hull damage). I could also see a low volume ship horn for the alert.
Incredible polish, graphics and controls though, I could see this being a full game very easily!
Very cool graphics and well designed, I like that you can go shopping to improve, you really did a good job, keep playing
I very much enjoyed this game. Loved the side view game play and the upgrade system was a nice addition for the time you had to do the game. Well done.
Great graphics, and the dark and creepy underwater areas were cool. Nice Job
Holy cow, the death sound is loud!
Overall a bit too simplistic for me. The music and water sound effects do a good job for the ambience.
The graphics are alright and the submarines controls work well.
It'd be hard to play it for a longer time however, because of the simple gameplay.
Nice atmostphere, good control feel, though maybe a tad too easy. Sound is nice. Graphics look polished. I didn't like the hit sound, nor the fact that the hit detection felt a bit buggy. But apart from that everything is truly great!
I loved it ! I loved it ! I loved it !! :D
I just wished the game was a little longer, and I had no real reason to chose anything else than the power upgrade.
That moment when the water was so dark and I suddenly realized the usefulness of the sonar was amazing !
(Plus the submarine is so cuuuute)
Game is visually stunning and has very smooth gameplay. I loved it, really good job!
