  • This is an incredible amount of work for 4 days. The scope is way what I imagined could be accomplished in a week, although there are some bugs and missing features (at least the empty pages for all the submarine systems), which reduced my completeness score to 3. The visuals and sounds are great. Watching the sonar pulse alone gives me chills. Controls-wise the game is tough to play, especially the submarine - perhaps I played it wrong, but I wanted to alternate between periscope / targeting / other systems pretty often, and constantly pausing and clicking between them wasn't as enjoyable. Hence the 3 in aesthetics. I was divided on the scores for Innovation and Roguelikeness. The game resembles certain games of the past, but at the same time plays in a unique way I hadn't experienced before. It also doesn't feel like a normal roguelike to me, but should have undeniable appeal to roguelike players willing to invest the time. I ended up giving 4 in one category and 3 in another. Overall, this is a bit of a niche game, but I'm certain would find its player base if you invest a bit more time into it. I'm excited to see the ending - never got that far during the rating phase.
