This was our second team game, and we had a great time making it. We spent less time learning Unity this time around and a lot more time making a game! We're pretty happy with how much we were able to add in, and feel like the game is pretty darn polished for 72 hours.
Update: We've added a post-competition version of Dark Depths! You'll be able to move and fire torpedos at the same time, so things should feel a bit faster, but you'll still have to head down the ladder to reload once you run out. We've also tweaked a lot of the gameplay and effects. Check it out!
I like the idea in theory, but in practice I found it really irritating having to run back and forth between the different terminals to control the different functions. Also, having to switch between mouse and keyboard all the time.
The graphics & sounds are good and you've got quite a lot of game in there, but I couldn't really get into it because of the controls. Sorry!
Fun concept! It took me a while to understand the mechanics, but luckily it was pretty straightforward. The graphics are nice, reminds me of the very first games that incorporated 3D models. :)
Good visuals and sounds. Gameplay vice It's starts to get irritating to move from station to station, but overall good and solid game with good polish.
This is one of my favorite submissions so far, it's very polished. The art is really nice and simple. I really enjoyed the gameplay, especially once you started taking some damage. Good job!
haha that was fun. I got hulled and didn't get treasure but made it back to the ship. It still said I won even though I didn't collect treasure lol Nice 3d modeling. Some of it could have been smoothed out though.
Pretty cool game, definitely feels quite polished for a 72 hour project. I like the look of the environment and the small details like the periscope facing your direction of movement, and the leaks/drips appearing inside and being visible through the windows. Good job!
Looks really nice, and I like the over all tone. I don't think the switch back and forth mechanic is totally working. Got frustrating when a sub started shooting me and I had to jump back in and switch to my torpedos. Overall though, nice job!
Very well done! Manning the sub on your own is a bit frustrating, but a very nice way of conveying the isolation of it all. It did end up being a bit odd to get the 10 million point cat and then feel like I didn't have much else to do but make the long trip home. It was cool to find it, though!
Wow, this was a fantastic entry! I love the way the mood and tension ratchet up the further you go. The art style was perfect and managed to seem bright and cartoony up top and scary and dark lower down. I did wish for a more streamlined switching mechanism, but running around the ship did add to the tension. Great that you were able to put in a polished menu/instruction system too.
Super well done game!! I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/yJ4mg8nxxfM
Very nice! I really like the look and feel, and the maze of loot was fun to navigate. The biggest problem I saw was that the money was kinda worthless, and the win condition was way too easy. I was expecting the ship to be an upgrade/repair station, and I feel like that would be much better. Of course that's not terribly viable during the jam, but if you wish to continue, that's where I would take it.
I have to admit, I was expecting another one of those uninnovative submersible shooters. But this really was a pleasant surprise. Managing the different functions was really enjoyable and I really liked the somewhat slower pace of it (I didn't play the Post-Compo version) Great job!

though if u can support 2-4 players that would be awesome!
Btw, the transition between micro and macro environment reminds me of a game called Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime.
