Dive aboard a yellow submarine and explore the creepy underworld that lies beneath the surface. But beware not to ruffle the antique creatures living down there... Use the arrow keys to avoid troubled waters and the space bar to repel the monsters but look out! It doesn't work on ancient monsters hidden in the ocean's guts.

I love the intro of the game and its graphics. The control is difficult to dominate and the game is really hard, but it doesn't have to be bad, does it? Awesome job!
I don't feel like the controls responded too well for me, but God, I loved the art on this game, and I see you used some interesting programmer art too! Good job guys!
Gorgeous graphics and excellent sound design! It's hard to understand the yellow bar, though. It depletes when you use the sonar, when you get hit but also depletes over time, so that was kinda weird.
Also I think I noticed a small but that the sonar doesn't push the monsters away, rather it just makes them change direction. So if you accidently hit one that was moving away from you, it will move towards you.
Lovely background art. Gameplay feels kind of odd... I didn't understand why the bar dropped so quickly sometimes, or what the bubbles were for. Also... maybe there's not enough interaction between the background and the submarine... it feels kind of disconnected. I wish the cool ancient monsters were more visible somehow; maybe they could be highlighted more clearly when the player is destroyed.
I won after a few tries. It's a little fast paced for something with such nice visuals.
Really nice graphics. Took a while to figure out I was meant to be collecting the yellow dots, though - mechanics weren't as clear as they could have been.
Your awesome graphics and audio creates a great atmosphere. The game is really fun to play and feels very polished. Sadly it's so short. I had to play it again after reaching the bottom of the sea. Would like to see more levels, maybe randomly generated. Definitely the best game I played so far.
Very impressive sound and graphics, but I found the gameplay pretty confusing. Death seemed pretty random--I guess the guys in the background kill you? Would be good to have some sort of hit feedback.
The die in 3 seconds no matter what you do game. Lol.
Good ping sound! Very authentic!

Really amazing graphics: the background art, the creatures (and Cthulhu-like monsters)... but the game is too short & the gameplay is not so great (lack of feedback especially).

A very impressive Ludum Dare entry.
Quite a few times I wasn't sure why I blew up.
Also, that intro looked really professional!
Well done!

Very impressive entry overall.
