Surprisingly challenging and fun for such a simple game. You should put some controls on your post. I was pretty confused until I tried pressing spacebar

Short and sweet. Great sounds and mood. Nice!

Cool, it reminds of old games on the phone. In general, the idea is not bad, it could be greatly expanded by adding more complex controls related to physics, adding possibly weapons and all that stuff

COOL AND VERY SINGAL!!!!! I LOVE IT!

Great work and great vibes. The sound and gameplay are the two things I appreciated the most. Congratulations!

Short, sweet and simple. My first run took 46 seconds and the next 23 seconds. I do appreciate that you didn't arbitrarily make the game longer just for the sake of it, so this is a strength in my view.

It's an excellent implementation of the theme and everything is really nicely polished. The sound fits with the artstyle perfectly and I'm not sure I actually have anything to critique!

Thanks!

Very nice! Fits the theme really well, love the simplicity and it feels good to play.

It looks really good. I even got a bit stressed when I realized the sonar pulse is dangerous for me. It’s a shame there’s only one level!

The game is quite interesting and provides a good challenge for the player. It’s great that a new level is generated each time.It might be worth improving the interaction with enemies so that players can come up with strategies to outsmart or avoid them. Maybe I missed something and this is already possible - in any case, it’s a good game!

The game really created the feeling of tension. I was desperate and started panic when I lost half of my ship's integrity and a false signal is tracing me. I almost gave up but I gathered my courage and kept going. And I finally reached the goal. The game is too short. But it provided a very short and trilling experience!

Cool approach to the theme and a fun game that showcases its strong sides well, great job!

parsefal 2026-04-22 17:42

Good job. Pretty simple and solid game. But maybe not enought complex for me.

2026-04-22 18:03

Coool, easy but woring game

metalim 2026-04-23 19:53

Fun short game.

Sonar was such a cool idea for the theme

ditam 2026-04-24 22:16

Very nice, simple but polished. I went back multiple times, my best time was 25.8 seconds.

kassanu 2026-04-26 01:46

Tried a few runs, think I had 21 seconds as my best. Nice job!

Great sonar implementing! But I wish we would have some energy mechanic so we will not use our sonar that much and would really think before using it

flx 2026-04-28 21:39

Simple but effective, it works well and the sound design is satisfying to hear. Nice work !

kirill-balak 2026-05-08 23:26

Funny enough, I was thinking about a similar idea myself 🙂

Really nice take on it
