Ranked from 25 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The protagonist is in a submarine running low on oxygen and is forced to make an emergency ascent to the surface (while a countdown runs). Meanwhile, the submarine's systems keep malfunctioning and require repair. Failure to fix them in time—again, against a ticking clock—results in a loss.

I wouldn't have that fish as a pet, but anyway. Great game!

Cute! It was too tempting to NOT click the "DO NOT PRESS" button with the fish oops...

Developer

HAHA! Thank you!

Damn, how much food does that fish needs! Haha

Well done, very fun game!

Developer

Haha! Thank you!

We did manage to survive, phew!

Love the ideas of swapping between submarine and captain modes. There are also a bunch of minigames to fix things in the submarine as well.

The controls in submarine mode were a bit hard to understand at first, but they got easier later on.

Solid game, good job!

I really enjoyed it!

Music was great!

I wish there was a way to turn around a bit more smoothly

Also, if the fish are not fed do they rise up against you and thats why you lose?

Developer

AHAHAH great idea!

I enjoyed it, although I am not great at it.

Developer

Thank you!

A really fun and charming game! I liked the concept, and the gameplay kept me engaged until the end. The only thing I would improve is the submarine movement—it felt a bit awkward at times and took some getting used to. Other than that, it's a well-made and enjoyable entry. Also, I somehow managed to beat it on my first try :))

aihfuash the art in this game is so cool, I love the rendering style- also liked the kind of two modes the game had going on, it kept me from getting bored, I'm not even sure I saw all of them

Developer

Thanks for feedback <3

Pretty cool game, I barely won with a little bit of oxygen to spare. That darn fish needed to be fed every second typa greed they talk about in the bible.

Developer

AHahhah)) Thanks for playing!!

It was really cool going between controlling the sub from the outside to managing the inside!

Very well done :D

Thank you!

Solid game. I love the art. I made it with 80 oxygens (?) left, love the end screen. I saw it was random but I also had basically the same three systems break, the top middle one the most.

Developer

Thank you very much! I glad to hear you enjoyed the art

Survived just in the nick of time! I like the concept of having one big countdown for the oxygen and other little ones for the minigames. Not sure if it was just unlucky, but I ended up getting the computer error one like 4 times in a row haha

Developer

Basically, even though it's completely random, if—say—two out of four possible systems have already broken down completely, the randomization will select from the two that haven't fully failed yet.

Submitted

Ah, that makes sense. I think I broke the Simon Says one at the start, but I guess I just got super unlucky still haha
