Having some issues running the web player version.

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-27 02:37

@CheekiBreeki Yeah, the web player version definitely has some issues. Took me a while even to upload it. This is the primary reason as to why i have a download link though.

Sorry. I explained the UI but not the controls like an idiot. The mouse controls the direction, left shift to accelerate.

nice! I got the controls right away and had a great time traversing the depth of the sea! nice entry!

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-28 05:13

@kel Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Cool game. I would have liked for controls to be on the mouse only rather than left shift. Well done!

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-28 18:42

@rhoff95 Yeah. After playing a couple other games I realize that now, I'm not sure why I went with shift... Thank you!

I really liked the game play! the only thing i can really think of critisizing is like when the screen gets dark its hard too see the enemies. great game :>

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-29 05:14

@radiotrophia Yeah, making them hard to see was the point but i might have pushed it a bit far. Thank you though!

Controls felt smooth. Wish there was some music or sound effects would have made exploring more atmospheric.

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-29 20:22

@tengusheath Sorry about that. I was planning on having some but...ran out of time near the end... Thank you very much!

While rough around the edges (The graphics could do some work, not even mentioning the non-existant audio), the game is surprisingly fun. The limited visibility sub-100m of depth is absolutely spectacular. It really keeps you on your toes and scared the shit out of me once or twice when I bumped into an enemy I did not see. Really, great job!

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-29 22:06

@phanty I was never any good at art and sounds but that is something i am working on(i really hope i get better at it in the near future). And i guess that for the visibility thing it could have been a setting? Some people didn't like having it that dark. Thank you very much for the feedback and im glad you enjoyed it! :D

Cute submarine! Definitely some music or sound to create a mood will help. Getter darker as you go down is really effective and it feels more and more dangerous down there.

skelyvelocirap666 2021-04-29 23:49

@funemaker Ill make sure to add music next time, that seems to be one of the biggest issues people are having! I am quite glad that it seems i set the mood well, even without the audio. Wasn't sure how well that was going to go! Thank you!

The webgl version worked for me. Nice work :) It was fun exploring the ocean

skelyvelocirap666 2021-05-01 07:19

@andreia It did? That's good to hear. For most people it doesn't, as for me its once every 10 tries... I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

Nice game! The controls were fun to use and the exploration was good. The submarine didn't take damage when hitting walls, which felt a little weird, and the dirt(?) walls were also a little weird, but that's nitpicking.

What a great game, thank you for the experience

skelyvelocirap666 2021-05-18 23:29

@jondalnas Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, thank you very much! For the walls, I didn't know how I would have to do it but I now realize that i was just being dumb... i can do it the same way I did for everything else, that's my bad. I'm not sure what you mean by the dirt walls are a bit weird though I must say... I am really glad you enjoyed it though!
