To parse this through my existing knowledge of games, this kind of plays like a reverse Space Invaders, and yet it has its own quirks of gameplay to make it distinct in its own way. I like the consistent theming, and given the simplicity I wonder if this could be enhanced by a two player mode?

I remember depthcharge, played on the original cabinet a lot! This is a much improved version of that and works great as an arcade game. Maybe would have swapped out the 1 life for just running down the timer, as per the original, but otherwise great stuff.  Visual style here is fantastic.

Nice look, but gameplay is more "Game and Watch" than Amiga or arcade! More depth in the gameplay, and could be fun.

I like the steampunk captain Nemo look of this. Gamplay could maybe have benefited from having distinct waves and levels. Maybe more powerups. If it was AI art on the frontend screens then it did not translate well to the Amiga and looked very grainy.

An excellent graphics but the gameplay is too shallow. Nothing more than shooting and moving will make me last longer than I could have. What's more, high score table should be saved and I found a bug - in some moment the timer stops decreasing (I think somewhere below 10).

A real fun game with awesome steampunk vibey graphics and character models! A simple but yet fun game idea that really makes you come back for another round! Only thing I really missed to make the arcade experience complete is a proper attract mode with all the bells and whistles than comes with it and that is basically the only thing that keeps me from giving it top score! Awesome work!

Very bitmap arcade. Plays great if somewhat limited in its scope but its and arcade game! based around depth charge, in that sense it does a great job. Would play the cabinet!

It's "depth charge" more smooth and with better graphics. I really dig the steampunk design...

How about more than one life for a future update?
