You're a dastardly evil villain, so it's only natural that you would do dastardly things... right? You might say, that detonating a bomb is really evil. Detonating a bomb in a zoo - delightfully evil. But what could have even more impact?
Well, climbing into a submarine, going down to the very bottom of the Mariana Trench (which, coincidentally, houses an impressive collection of post-WW2 sea mines) and detonating a giant bomb, thus damaging the Earth's core and destroying the whole planet. Impact, I say.
Controls: arrows for moving, Shift for focused movement. Press Escape anywhere to close the game.
I downloaded the linux version, extracted it, and there is a windows executable in it. No obvious linux executables. I tried running 0b08555234_dastardlydiver, but it's not an executable. Am I supposed to use wine on the windows exe?
You should consider statically-linking the Visual Studio DLL with the project since a lot of people won't have it on their system. I can't seem to figure out what I need to make it work on my system... It looks great, though; I want to play!
Feel free to leave a shout on my game's page if you find a fix so I can play!
Good game, collisions are a bit annoying because the submarine is a box instead of a circle (I guess?). Loved the mechanic of the surroundings getting darker. Some more fx (audio and graphics) would have been nice.
@madpew - actually, all of the hitboxes are circles. It's probably the sprites, not exactly representing the hitboxes.
@SkyWolf - I wish the fix was as simple as including that DLL. Unfortunately it's way more complicated.
I've wasted the entire morning trying to find a fix, almost managed to do it, but it still won't work. I'll keep looking, but for now, I can't provide a fix :C
Thanks to rbanke on the NeoGAF Forums, I've found a fix to the "MSVCR110.dll not included" problem (required two more files). I've updated the Windows link with a proper archive.
The controls feel very hard and squarish, maybe you could have made them a bit more floaty? The overall aesthetic is really cool though, especially when you get deep down ;)
@BarrensZeppelin - I actually intended to do that (adding momentum to the movement, since you're underwater), but there wasn't enough time :( Good to hear you liked it, though.
Loved the way the game got darker as I got deeper, a nice touch. I agree, the controls could have done with a little bit of inertia, also I was disappointed when I made it to the bottom and there was no huge bang!
Why do you want to put a bomb in a place FILLED with mines ? Just blow any mine and start a chain reaction. :p
Anyway, cool effect with the lighting slowly reducing and forcing to look for the mine's light, that was nice. The hit box of the mine seemed larger than their sprite. Is there an ending or is the goal to get the highest score ?
There a situations where you can't pass through without getting damaged by a mine. That is a bit frustrating. The game is simple, but it works. Anyway, the visuals are lovely and the background music is great.

I would guess my C++ runtime would be up to date, so I'm guessing, 64 bit problem?
The music and visuals were superb and gave the whole game a great atmosphere.
pzdr.

PS, was fine on xp 64bit.
