How does your game fit the theme?
While based heavily on Iron Lung, this game allows more exposure to the outside world. In Iron Lung you are entirely confined to the inside of the vehicle, not even seeing outside without use of the camera. In SubTerroranean however you must go into the cave outside multiple times, and regularly open a trapdoor, allowing a view outside your box. SubTerroranean also makes you wonder at times what could be outside the box, lurking in the dark. And maybe you'll find out.

Cool mining game, would play more after the jam ends probably!

I didn't finish it because I crashed twice in the same way and the same spot, and when I continued my position was checkpointed but my objectives were reset. Great use of sound to sell the atmosphere! I think it's the strongest aspect. The terror moments are well executed too - [spoilers ahead...]

the realization of how long it takes to close the hatch, the Organic on the scanners moment, the error, all pulled me into the game. And once I got the hang of the movement I was enjoying that too. Great work!

not sure what would cause that on the checkpoints, but the save system definitely gave me the most trouble to make. glad you enjoyed the horror aspects!

EDIT: i figured out the issue! should have it fixed in the updated version ill append to the page after the jam (im allowed to do that, right?)

Pretty solid game, i'm usually not a fan of horror but this nails all the same fundementals that Iron Lung does and has great atmosphere on top of controls that are just convoluted enough to force you to think way more about the world and your surroundings. I also really like the neon green and purple aesthetic all over.

This was a good time.  Took a little bit of patience to get into the swing of it but once I knew what was going on I enjoyed navigating the maze using the tools I had.  I also like how the drill animation sells you on the idea that there's a world outside the vehicle you're in.

Sadly, the version I managed to upload, the one downloadable here, is missing a sizable amount of stuff.  I accidentally disabled a bunch of stuff while trying to fix a bug last minute, sorry! Still, I hope it doesn't detract from the experience too much, and I hope you enjoy it!
