Help Mama Submarine find her children and bring them back to Papa Submarine.

Level generation might take a few seconds.

Done in one day so no sound, questionable graphics and overall rushed feel. But I did my best :-).
Also my first LD entry.

I like the teenager submarine's hair do. Centre partings are timeless.

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)

Congratulations on your first entry! I didn't get very far because I found it hard to navigate with such a limited field of view, but the concept is cute. Great job!

I liked the graphics. I was not sure what to do in the game, so I just wandered around to find for something. After 5 minutes didn't find it, but it was still good, and with some sounds or music I would have found this to be good little jam game (especially considering you made it in 24 hours!)

It would've been nice to have just some sound to be able to get some more feedback from the game. I liked the graphics and feeling when the children started following you.

Needs some tweaking to make it a little nicer but it was good!

Nice little game. Art is nice and the submarine haircut is definitely innovative:)

nice little game. Love the idea about a submarine family : D

I liked the graphics and overall feel of the game. However it sometimes looked like I died by touching nothing?

A submarine with hair? Scandalous!

I lika that the main character is the mother and the fact that they are submarines instead of fishes. It's not bad to be your first LD :)

Whoa, first generated map was so huge that I found no child at all :D

Good work with these procedurally generated maps, although it may turn impossible sometimes, as touching a wall means instant death (even for the children!).

Nice submarine sprites!

Nice idea and art style for mamma and pappa subs. But the gameplay wise it's quite boring maze game.

Cute game with harsh gameplay. I approve

This game is extremely hard. Nicely polished, though! I enjoyed the bubbles and the follow AI.

Somehow I killed the first child I found... :(

Took a while to work out what I was supposed to do, and collision made it a little harsh. It was fun though, and the graphics look great. Well done.

I like the bubbles. Sadly, after a while I only found 1 baby and it hit a wall and died :(

Cute characters! It's pretty good for a one-day effort (grats on your first entry, btw!) It was really hard finding the kids, though - the place was enormous and easy to get lost in. I managed to return three before I died, and even that was pretty time-consuming. Nonetheless, good job!
