You control a submarine trying to reach the bottom of the sea, try not to touch those weird red things!

music is neat. graphics are ok. definitely ship needs a speed boost or more spacing around the mines otherwise it's basically unplayable

The graphics are well but......sometimes it seems impossible to avoid touching the obstacles? Like this:

I can't find how to get enough speed two pass this.

Really solid experience. I feel like there are some pretty hard turns but overall this was made very well!

This reminded me a bit of Flappy Bird, but in the vertical. I would have liked to have a little easier time earlier on in the level, or perhaps a little more lead time to see the next upcoming obstacle wave. As it was, I kept dying after just making it past 1 or 2 lines due to simply not being able to move fast enough to dodge the next wave, which was frustrating. On a plus side, I like the simple icon-like graphics - the jellyfish in the background were a nice touch too. Nice work!

Generally well executed, except it sometimes seems to be impossible to dodge an obstacle. I think the player may need to be able to accelerate a little faster.

Nice, very cohesive.

It is hard. After a few runs I did improve a little.

Would be nice if you could repeat the same run (maybe without the chance to increase high score) and see the previous path you took. I think that might help to get better faster.

Simple and to the point. Not breaking any new ground here but it's solid. I like how the hurtbox is slightly smaller than the submarine sprite, so you can get away with grazing the red saws(?) I couldn't get too far, 30-something points, it was starting to get pretty dark! The music gets a little grating, but I can tell there was honest effort. Nice entry! ^-^

Simple and straightforward concept and execution, graphics work with it and the music is nice, but with it restarting on every run you hear the start of it a lot with how short runs end up being.

game is hardddd but kinda addictive. The artstyle is very consistent.
Drifting with submarine feels good.

The set up looks nice, but the ship moves too slow for me to dodge the red spots of doom :sob:

The game is really challenging, but it is fun! Love the visuals! Music is a bit much if you die over and over and music restarts each time. There are some parts that are quite easy and then there is a pixel perfect slalom between mines XD Besides that, great job!

Cool game! It was fun learning how to master the inertia of the submarine. I liked the graphics and the fish in the background :)

It feels like it's pretty much impossible to dodge certain combinations of obstacles... I like the graphics though!
