I think this could be fleshed out into a full game, complete with airships, and hookers, and nemotoads. And other things...perhaps.
Interesting game - but, I laughed really hard near the ending - Maybe you'd like that? Unsure.
Really interesting story and idea for a game! Would love to see more adventures from these two lol
Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed our game (it was actually made by three people) and I really enjoyed watching your video. The section on how it was going to be made into a movie cracked me up. Keep up the good work on Youtube and I hope to see your channel grow!
While being a bit confusing and needing a little more explaination, I enjoyed the game quite a lot! thank you for making it! and I can't wait for more!
Amazing for a game jam. It is always better working in a team for these, am I right? I really enjoyed how the game played, and I love the inclusion of a story. I think it needs a more fleshed out narrative behind it, but the idea is there. I love how it controls, and how easy the maneuverability of the submarine was. I would love to see more from you and your fellow developers. Keep up the excellent work!
Did a quick video on the gameplay. You can check it out here:
While it is pretty brief, the game manages a lot in such a short time! The story and the atmosphere are great, and while the combat does detract a bit from the general feeling of helplessness, it does seem requited for the game to climax the way it does. I think maybe a chase or escape sequence might have been more fitting, but I understand the time constraints game jams have. For a 10 min, story driven atmospheric exploration game, it's pretty great!
I enjoyed watching the video and thanks for the feedback. I understand some things were rushed, and sorry again about that boss fight. I'm glad you enjoyed playing our game!
Hey, so I played up until the cavern, post-earthquake, and got trapped in an inescapable room. Judging by the tags it looks like a boss room, but nothing showed up. I just floated around shooting for a while...
Hey CoalFire, I posted this game early because me and my team missed the deadline by a few hours so I posted it early and updated the game upon completion, and the version you played was unfinished. Download the game again and give it a try, the game is complete and the boss is there now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
