This was a really interesting game! It took me a while to figure out how to ascend (skill issue), but once I did the game was really fun. I think after a couple speed upgrades that I found speed to be pretty detrimental. The sub would go way too fast for me to effectively cut the wall plants and capture them. Other than that, I love the jank controls and found this to be really enjoyable. Nice work!

We had to re-implement the upgrades relatively close to the deadlines, so we didn't get much balance time on the upgrades. We also played with the speed upgrade for the side-to-side movement, so I think we just needed a little more time to tweak things. It definitely can start to fight against you.
We also did adjust the tiles so you couldn't get stuck going up at high speeds, that was also a thing :P
Thanks so much for playing!
