Really good idea for the theme. Nice graphics as well, with well done rope physics. But not sure what else I'm supposed to be doing besides repelling down? I can spam the S key just to keep descending until I hit a black screen.
I like the art style and how smooth the game felt. You had some nice effects going on, like lighting, particles from the ground, and some slight tilting of the tower.
Love the art style. Nice bite sized game. The controls were smooth and responsive. Maybe I suck at these kind of games, but the boss's attacks were too fast for me to react.
Like other said, great interpretation of the theme. I forgot about that movie. I'm also a sucker for simple pixel art style. I just wished the player did more damage or there were ways to upgrade. Good job!
I love this retro art style. Reminds me of all those CD-ROM DOS game days. I love that we both had the same but interpreted it differently. Very cool to see another game about submarines and sonars.
Awesome pixel art. Controls feel very smooth and polished. The combat feels fluid--nice job on that polish. The game has good potential if you were to take it further.
Love the old school boomer shooter look. Great atmosphere, very tense. I must admit the controls are a bit clunky. took me awhile to figure how to load the shotgun.
Nice to see another submarine idea and a different interpretation how to make a game from it. I like your pixel art--I wished my artistic ability is half as good as yours. My submarine pales in comparison. (It literally was just a fish)
Very cool! Nice graphics, music, and gameplay. Smooth controls. Great application of the risk vs reward mechanic--I had a few tense moments. Great work!
This is awesome! I love how we both started with the same idea but ended up going in totally different directions—it’s cool seeing another take on it. You absolutely nailed the vibe with your graphics and sound.
Only suggestion I'd have is to tweak the controls a bit. Maybe make turning more intuitive—like using a wheel instead of arrows—and speed it up slightly? I had trouble shaking off the enemies on my tail. Other than that, solid job!
It's always amazing to see what a veteran in the industry can do. And with 10+ games under your itch.io belt, it's no surprise you can churn out something like this in 2 days. This game is top 5 for me. Kudos!
Love it! I had a similar concept. I enjoyed the atmosphere from the sound, music and lighting. And I like the art style. For improvements, I would make some of the fish as obstacles for the player (unless I missed something in the game) and add some game juice. Well done!
Wow, quite the epic entry. I'm impressed some people can release something like this in 2-3 days. I had a bit of issues getting the game to run. The game blacked out when I went to pilot the ship. But I fixed it by refreshing my browser. It was fun exploring the ship and outer space. The controls a bit janky but I can't blame you. You might also want to include a downloadable version.
Well done guys! I love the jazz music. Very calming when I was digging. Cute graphics. Smooth controls. I wished the beginning didn't feel like a grind.
Wow, the things some people can make in a weekend. This looks very polished and professional. This is more of a personal preference: I'm not a big fan of backtracking too much. Once, may twice is ok. But regardless, I like the game. Well done!
Well done! Nice small game. I like the risk vs reward mechanic: do I risk running out of breath for more riches or should I take home what I have now? The elevator goes faster the deeper I go. The only thing I would tweak is the amount of oxygen the player gets back, especially deeper in the level.
Amazing! Awesome art! Very fun cozy game. Hilarious as well. At first it was very painful to drag things around, but after some upgrades...catching that coin in midair--chef kiss. I'm amazed this was done in one weekend. Well done!
Nice cute graphics. I love how smooth the camera is. I wish the controls are a different, as I struggled to platform with just WASD. If it were me, I'd make SPACE jump and SHIFT dash.
Also the game is very hard. The weapon does almost no damage I don't even use it, I just dodge enemies. And there's one section I can't get past: the dash challenge.
I saw your comments on my game: I think you unfairly rated me low on a broken build lol. I've posted a working version on itch.io.
Besides that, yes very interesting that we both had the same idea but the execution was different, yet similar. I really like the sounds. It sets the mood and atmosphere.
