How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
The theme takes place underwater so i've made it so that you are a submarine that travels underwater when you run into a whirlpool and now have to escape it. But you have to dodge obstacles that are also getting sucked into it. The special object i've made is a sonar ping as it uses sound which is related to a speaker and you can collect these to give you extra points and it adds a bit of challenge to the gameplay as well

I liked the game. The controls are a little difficult to get used to, but that's an added challenge.

Oh wow, the idea is very cleanly executed! The sfx actually is an extremely big factor here, I also like the effect after you pick up the sonar, it shows a very big expanding green ring :), feels good. Though I have bad fingers and can only get a high score of 54... The controls are a bit "unpredictable" for me, and also its a bit fast haha. But that might be just my skill issue! Good job!

Thank youuu. I would of loved to actually refine the feel and controls a bit more, maybe add some smoothing and so, but did not have much time to do so.
