Into The Dark Blue

My first Ludum Dare submission, and it was a wild ride. My game took the theme pretty literal, you control a ROV to get treasure from the bottom of the ocean, the deep. Run into any wildlife, and it is game over. I had a lot of fun doing this, and I learned quite a bit. I heard suggestions to keep the scope of the game down, and I think I bit off the perfect amount of game.

While the game itself is pretty simple, I made the level more challenging than I planned on. I still haven't beaten it without cheating, but I've gotten oh so close. The sine sharks are particularly challenging.

I used Unity, but I need to get better with it. I hacked together a rudimentary collision system, so the hitboxes don't quite line up how one would think they should. It makes for a few close calls, but I haven't seen any places where you obviously didn't run into the wildlife.
