This game was great fun to make! I have learnt a huge amount over the last 48 hours...
Sorry about any bugs, I hope the game is a little bit fun to play.

The game looks amazing. Figuring out how to play took a few tries, but in the end I beat the game. How exactly to use the active sonobuoy, I have no idea.
Extreeeemeeelly stylish. Looks great! I like the flat effect while turning, but I would agree that it doesn't fit the rest of the art style. I'm not convinced that the active sonar actually does anything. Chopper sound eventually grated on my nerves.
Wow, very well done indeed! Though it felt short at first, but with each new start I found it to be both rewarding and unforgiving. Really nice looking graphics and the controls aver very smooth. Loving the style.

Enjoyable game, short but technical. Took a few goes to successfully use the active sonar bouys but really helped with the hunt once mastered. Top job brother.
The faux-cyrillic font is Kremlin, available from www.dafont.com
Little (tiny?) marks appear around the active sonar buoys to indicate the direction of the detected submarine. Both buoy types have a maximum detection range.
Wow ! Well done, the game is amazing ! The ambiance, the stress I got trying to find the sub ! The graphics are perfect, the controls of the helicopter are nicely done. Awesome job !
Very good looking game, i ran in to one problem, the time it took for the submarine to show up was (i think completely random) the first play through it took that long that i already used my bombs before it finaly showed up, the second time i had barely time to get near the submarine. so it might need some balancing, further more i would like to be able to hunt more than one submarine and buy new items, Good Job
Seriously impressive graphics. I like the idea of not knowing where the submarine is, but I've found that I never know where it is until it's about to surface
Very nice art and lots of depth (ha ha). Really impressive for a 48 hours job. Wow! Really liked the theme and the gameplay - found it a bit hard, but that might be me.

Good game.
What font were you using? I really like it.

It gave me chills when I saw that submarine
