It's tricky to play for me though since Y and Z are switched on a German keyboard, making it really hard to scan and shoot. Still an awesome game!"},{"author_name":"taocayo","author_uid":"30769","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:01am","epoch":1398736560,"text":"Beautiful game, no doubt.

The mood is super great, and it's overall very polished and coherent experience. I feel that you could have stripped some complexity from the games controls to make it more streamlined. For example, I don't really see any value in the reloading mechanic, this could have really been automatic.\r<br\/>Also, the layout of your buttons is unfriendly to keyboard layouts outside of the us; for my german keyboard, having the scan functionality so far away from the other two actions made it almost unplayable. You could offer an alternative control which just uses the number buttons 1-3 or something similar."},{"author_name":"gnerkus","author_uid":"28566","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 4:44am","epoch":1398832740,"text":"It's difficult to turn and the enemies are fast.

It took me three tries until I got some sort of hang of it (doubt 15 is very impressive score). \r<br\/>\r<br\/>That the enemies could just run into you felt a bit unfair. They should also need to launch torpedoes, I think. You could also give the player torpedo in the water feedback.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You could add ability to drop some debris in path of enemy torpedo to avoid the blast and other tactics seen on submarine movies.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the game. The effects and attention to details. The main issue to keep playing, I think is to make it feel as the game is fair and it is up to the skills of the player... maybe ease it up by giving more time bonus early on and the less and less as time progresses. You could also play with the size of the game, to every now and then have it zoom out a bit and make it more difficult...just some ideas"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 3:08am","epoch":1398913380,"text":"Really nice game!

Some suggestions:\r<br\/>1) Multiply the score by the average fatalities from a nuclear strike. Exploding 17 nuclear submarines and saving 85 people seems ridiculous.\r<br\/>2) Saving &quot;souls&quot; is a break from the soviet theme, as the Soviet Union was an atheist state, and expected high-confidence officers to hold it.\r<br\/>3) Add a cone of &quot;light&quot; (visibility) to the front of the submarine, like in rnlf's game: http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=30930"},{"author_name":"Thorig","author_uid":"14618","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 7:30pm","epoch":1399231500,"text":"Great game!
