Control scheme is kinda cool when you get the hang of it. Really nailed that underwater feel! I like the idea of the risk-reward style gameplay, and fighting off a big swarm like that is an incentive to keep moving. Hope to hear sound soon!

Now that I've had a chance to give this a try, I think this is a cool concept! Managing engine heat is a neat idea, and makes for a very unique feel to the game. I do wish the effects of it were a bit more pronounced however. I feel like increasing the speed boost you get from having a warmed up engine could help a lot for example.
Ah, thanks for giving it another swing. I agree that the engine should do more when at higher heat, there's a few things I didn't have time to implement that would tie into it. I'm working on a post-jam version in my free time, so hopefully I can make the engine feel a bit more exciting to play with/around. I appreciate the feedback :)
