Honestly, I think the game is a bit too complicated for my tastes. Sure, there's a tutorial, but its very long. However, the game is visually very impressive and I love the art

Played until the end of tutorial, sometimes it's not the most accurate explanation of what exactly you need to do, it is still good enough to understand the game. Would like to see coop and different submarines in next versions. Art style is very cool, big props to the artist himself. Will keep up and would like to see this game go big!

Выглядит любопытно, мне нравится концепт, но слишком сложное управление и музыка не добавляет атмосферы

My favourite game in ludumdare 60 so far. I have a project from 2021 with a very similar mechanic. The diegetic interface bring so much immersion to the game (no pun intended).

How you guys managed to pack so much features into a game in 72 hours is beyond me, but the result is impressive - from all devices operations, repair, docking, creatures, gun, cargo and even some nice details like a personal cabin with coach!! Amazing.

I would buy a full version of this game on Steam for no doubt.

Congratulations.

Woah, got huge K-19 movie vibes. Really detailed game for just 3 days. The immersion is fire, especially the pencil! But I think it might need to be restricted just a bit. Accidental drawing on the control screen made things tough afterwards. Had to restart the game. 😄

But overall, the game is absolutely excellent! Well done! ❤️

Okay guys, this is HUGE. How on earth did you manage to put all of this together in just 72 hours?! Easily one of the most interesting games I've played in this jam so far, gameplay-wise!

Duplicated

@skigfx @estelgames @ltyrosine Thank you for the kind words. This is our first Ludum Dare, and it wasn't easy. We already understand that the idea was too ambitious. We streamed for all three days of development. It was truly amazing. For example, my partner spent five hours drawing just Paul inside the submarine. During that time, I barely managed to draw a couple of monsters. But on the last day, we really ramped up the pace and finished on time, literally to the minute.

Прекрасная игра продолжайте разработку!

How the **** did you two manage this... I'm so curious to what extend you utitlized existing graphics, models and sounds - and of course the level of AI use. There is no judgement at all.... I'm just blown away that this was done for the jam. It seems rock solid, well thought out and with an impressive amount of "elements" to ensure works properly. This jam needs a new kind of rating.. "impressive feat" ... at least to me this would have gotten a five star on that.

@purpledartfrog The only assets we used from publicly available sources were the audio.

95% of the models in the game were created by hand—we even have three days' worth of streams showing the creation process!

We used AI to help with the code and music, as both of us are artists; consequently, there are some optimization-related bugs in the final product.

Additionally, we used AI to generate the achievements and their corresponding PNG icons for the downloadable version, as we had run out of time.

Looks cool, and the music is a banger! There are a lot of things to interact with right from the start. To be honest, I couldn’t get through the tutorial. Also, in the browser version, you have to press ESC a bunch of times to exit the terminal, and that also exits fullscreen. Maybe try a different key :)

voxivale 2026-10-22 08:52 ♥ 0

@fassenberg There is an exit button in the communicator, but it’s likely being covered by the tutorial interface—you can hide that by pressing F2.

Отличное визуальное оформление!

purpledartfrog 2026-10-22 09:50 ♥ 1

@voxivale Thanks for sharing details - truly impressive. Is there somewhere I could see the streams? I used to love seeing other people doing LD's. Actually how I got started.

lastyw 2026-10-22 10:20 ♥ 1

I discussed religions while playing it. Great chill game

yibirabbit007 2026-10-22 12:54 ♥ 2

Not bad vibe. But skiped the tutorial let me hard to control. Lowpoly art great 👍

ludumdaredevil 2026-10-22 13:58 ♥ 2

I really like the art style. It is a bit confusing though

rucksack 2026-10-22 18:57 ♥ 2

Lot of content, makes it a bit complicated as it's not clear what you have to do. The tutorial helps a bit, but it's still overwhelming. Impressive though how much you achieved in this time.

Art style is also nice and fitting.

lonthy 2026-10-24 23:50 ♥ 0

great art, but feels like there are too many features for what it's supposed to be. I sadly couldn't finish the tutorial, got stuck with the instructions I guess and I couldn't figure it out on my own even though I am a gamer 😭. But otherwise interesting game :))

1111.png Буду считать, что я прошел игру) К сожалению, после установки глубинного заряда потратил много времени на то, чтобы понять, действительно ли он был установлен и только когда я отплыл на заднем ходе на приличное расстояние понял, что заряд-то на месте и надо уматывать) Было бы круто, если бы в последнем задании какой-нибудь таймер вы включили или уведомление было, что глубинный заряд установлен. Я его устанавливал в режиме подъема и просто подумал, что слишком высоко поднялся и надо опуститься) Игра супер крутая, мне понравился сюжет, цепляет. Особенно зашло управление лодкой - очень приятное и хорошо ощущается. Единственное, мне показалось, что музыка не в тему. Я хотел на середине игры ее отключить, но на ESC только пауза открывалась. Побоялся, что если выйду из игры, сохранения не заработают. Лично мне хотелось трепещать от страха морских глубин) Поразительно, что можно успеть за время джема! Успехов вам!

voxivale 2026-10-25 19:10 ♥ 1

@krakadushka Мне безумно приятно что ты дошел до конца, ты первый кто это сделал, не считая разработчиков, я рад что ты освоил управление и тебя зацепил наш скромный сюжетик, что ты действительно нашел все точки маршрута и несмотря на все препятствия дошел до конца! Спасибо тебе огромное, мне тепло на душе от твоего комментария ☺️

Блин, графика и геймплей реально очень зашли, а атмосфера вообще отдельная тема. Чувак, это охуенно, я прям залип!

@alexandru-barbanoua благодарю за теплые слова)

custodi 2026-10-26 22:50 ♥ 2

Really pretty work! Loved low-poly art style and details inside submarine. Atmosphere was so horrific and deep, liek that! Controls were a bit confusing and tutorial felt pretty long.
