The small yellow submarine with it's heroic crew is on a deep sea mission. Far below the surface it has to defend itself against an onslaught of vicious sharks and later on other submarines.
Controls: Use Cursor-Up & Cursor-Down (or "W" and "S") to move the sub Use Space to shoot torpedoes.
This game is pure JavaScript - it should be playable in all HTML5-browsers. (I have tested IE 11, latest Firefox and latest Chrome)
The sprites are drawn with pencil on paper and then edited and colored in gimp and arranged with paint.net.
It's build with the help of the gaming framework phaser (http://phaser.io).
The sound effects are created with sfxr (sound effect generator by DrPetter).
The background music is created with autotracker-bottomup (#ultimate audio experience by GreaseMonkey).
to Recon: - there is now a score, if you shoot and hit nothing you are punished - there are now rocks so you can't stay in a straight line on the lower half of the screen - there will be enemy submarines on the top half of the screen... (not yet though)
Whoa, full screen loading bar..! That's kinda cool... +1 for sharks, +1 for EXPLOSIONS, and +1 for shark gibs..! End of game stats are always awesome... I like how the sub gets damaged as you ram sharks...
Good sound design. The sharks exploding is satisfying. The gameplay is a little sluggish, but it's a finished game. I also liked the stats at the end - that could go somewhere a la jetpackjoy ride missions.
I liked the summary at the end, I was wondering: is it possible to get a positive score? I think it could be easily improved, but for 48 hours this is quite good.
This game is very fun to play, you did a great job on it. The difficulty is increasing just as it should, the inertia of the submarine adds difficulty. The graphics/audio are pleasant. Kept me entertained for quite a long time :)
This is a fun little game. It doesn't break any barriers, but it's a run romp I can come back to now and then. And I must admit that the controls & speeds of everything feel just right, as does the rate at which the sharks get bigger and bigger. Good work!

Latest features: enemy submarine and a completion screen
Enjoy :)
+1 for sharks, +1 for EXPLOSIONS, and +1 for shark gibs..! End of game stats are always awesome...
I like how the sub gets damaged as you ram sharks...
monaarc: After ten shark-kills you get one submarine, then it's ten shark-kills again.
I also like the summary at the end with all the achievements.
But a health meter for my submarine would be great and some powerups or something.
I think it could be easily improved, but for 48 hours this is quite good.
@Gaspard: yes, positive score is no problem, you get -5 for each shot you miss, just don't miss and you're golden ;)
I like the little detail with how the submarine gets banged up!
