Dodge and shoot! Get submarines before they get you!

I spent a lot of time working on the movement / aiming, let me know how that feels.

Works with controllers or keyboard! Using a controller with a d-pad is recommended!
- AIM with D-PAD, CONTROL STICKS, WASD, or ARROWS
- SHOOT with A BUTTON, Y BUTTON, X KEY, [.] KEY, or SPACEBAR
- MOVE with SHOULDER BUTTONS, X AND B BUTTONS, [,] AND [/] KEYS, OR Z AND C KEYS
- PAUSE with START BUTTON or ESC KEY
- CHANGE OPTIONS, EDIT CONTROLS, and RESET CONTROLS here
- also LOAD and SAVE here
- while on the title screen or in the score screen
- if you want your high scores saved
- TAKE A SCREENSHOT with F12

Has a readme, take a look!

You can also check out builds on the itch page instead of the github links below, if you'd prefer.

tools:

EDIT: post-submission made a minor addition to default controls. Details here: https://github.com/JovialKnoll/ludum-dare-57/commit/b56421ef5b2a29789f10e8f633e6d67b3f274cf5

EDIT: I'll leave it in for judging to be fair but I figured out the bug with your score occasionally showing as 0 despite populating the high scores correctly: https://github.com/JovialKnoll/ludum-dare-57/commit/01c4d1f129f41d0b273e016baf0415cb7179b7c8
