Manipulate currents and bring glory to the motherland!

BEGIN COMMUNICATION

You and a comrade of your choosing have been given the honor of testing one of our most promising prototypes: Red Riptide. Red Riptide alters aquatic flows, creating currents that can crush unsuspecting vessels. 200 square miles of tundra have been set aside for the captain who can smash all opponents against the craggy Red Sea shores!

Very enjoyable! Really like it. Not a fan of shift key to shoot - Windows will enable sticky keys.

Awesome stuff, especially the currents are A+. Very impressive. I made something for Sony Online similar to this called Pirates Plunder Free Realms if you search on youtube.

An absolutely stellar game! One of the most innovative takes on unconventional weaponry I've seen so far! I want to see you do more with this!!

I really enjoyed the water mechanics of this game. I think this would really work well on a smartphone as well.

That was a *lot* of fun. I don't have a friend to play with, but I'll bet anything that the interaction is even better.

The only criticism I have is that it feels a little slow/sluggish moving around. Getting up and moving felt like it could use a boost.

The graphics choice for the particle effects of moving water were my favorite.

This is one of my favorite submissions so far!

Great mechanic with the water as a weapon, thought it was a nice use of the theme. Did notice it says "Best of 3" but it actually seems to be "First to 3". Fun entry

It's fun & it's hard (you can smash yourself as easily as your opponent).

This was surprisingly fun. Just cruising around without dying is a fun challenge in itself. It's probably even more fun with an opponent. Well done.

I was suprised at how well the boats handles; And the unique projectiles.

Nice multiplayer game, I tried it by myself but I'll definitely try it with an opponent tonight. Takes some time to adjust yourself to all the forces involved in movement.

Great job! Sadly I didn't have anyone to play multiplayer with, but I tried the mechanics for a bit. Stopping is difficult since you get moving so quickly, however.

The idea of using waves and the graphics of those waves is awesome!

Wow, this is really good. I would buy this for money if it had AI opponents.
