Nice concept! I did something similar during the last Ludum Dare. It'd be helpful to have a reminder of the input in the game, it's a bit complex at first.

This is actually super fun with two players. The first playthrough as single player was memorable at least - I sank, helplessly, as the green dude did nothing.

Best game i've played yet.

Fun and interesting when I figured out what I was meant to be doing. Love the graphics and sound/music too

Had a great time playing this together with a friend! Liked the art style and the feeling of 'us two against the dangers of sea' :) Well done!

Cool idea, reminds me of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. But the controls are just too complicated. Well, this could be a great game, but it needs a lot of polishment.

Wow, a very nice concept, but maybe a little two difficult :)

Played this solo. After a few tries I managed to survive for 2 minutes and 8 seconds- Would probably better playing it with a friend- I loved it- Best game I've played so far!

Overall, the game was OK. It did suffer from some major issues though. First and foremost was lack of any tutorial. I had to experiment to see what each equipment did, which sometimes had catastrophic results (such as flipping the submarine upside-down). Second, when I died, there was no "game over" screen, no way I could see to restart, so I had to refresh the page instead. If those issues (and better control for the torpedoes) could be solved, it'd be a decent game.

Seems like it could be very interesting, I didn't fully understand exactly what to do:( but I really liked the character sprites:) and the gameplay did seem interesting, I just wasnt fully in control;)

Couldn't hold my attention for long enough to work out the game. Great art. Didn't use players walk, only the grapple. The screen-wrap was also very weird.

Great concept! I didn't figure out what was the orange thing for though.

Nice concept, but the grapple controlled kinda weird.
Besides, a simple explanation at the beggining would be a big help haha

Fun game overall! A bit difficult to move around the ship in the beginning.

Hard to control and to play as well, but I love the concept.

Check my video about further explanation.

Input heavy 2 player games often don't do well at LD, clearly you put a lot of thought into this, I wish you good luck, because you made a solid game.
