You want to explore the deep blue but pesky sea creatures want to destroy your submarine. Good thing your propeller is equipped with a gun! Blast those sea creatures away and reach the deepest depths.

Use the arrow keys to shoot behind you, use the knockback to dodge the obstacles, or switch to inverted controls and chose the direction your sub will move.

You can press x to switch between a fast straight spray with little knockback, and a huge cone blast propelling you across the screen.

Hi! Very cool game, definitely a very unique idea. I love the simple graphics too! It's one of those simple games that somehow you'll spend ages playing. Keep up the good work :)

This is a great little game. It would be really nice to have some audio, mainly just for feedback on when you hit an enemy, and when you get hit. I'm impressed that each of the weapons really have their own uses and suit different play styles. Great work.

Nice game!

The game is very simple and intuitive. Controls feel nice after a bit of time.
The art style looks great, I especially loved the transition in the background.

Sound would take that game to the next level by adding some nice feedback.

I felt like the difficulty curve was a bit off, staying to easy for too long?

Thanks for the game I had fun 💕

Nice dithering effect to make the most of the limited PICO-8 color palette. Interesting gameplay mechanics also.
