I win!

I liked the shadowing effect from the light, and the sub is fun to drive (swim?) around when it gets faster...

Very smooth feeling controls. The sound didn't work for me.

I enjoyed this throughout the game. The choice of the lighting engine was nice, and the controls felt good. Solid! :)

Cool game ! The lightning and graphics looks really good.
It would be even better with some sound.

It really lacks some ambient, underwater music. But the actual game is implemented well and controls are smooth. I've also made game using libGDX and box2dlights, so look at mine if you are interested ;) Good job

I liked it. The upgrades makes it fun, and the the shadows/fog of war was a nice touch. I managed to get stuck between some walls though.

Fun little entry! I would prefer if the drone crashes if you hit rock too fast. But other than that nice little game which entertained me well.

Fun little game. Maybe some obstacles would improve the game play, still a fun game.

Pretty cool. I liked the weird lighting effect. I managed to find the black box and the upgrading was a nice enticement along the way.

Really nice work. The movement is smooth and I like the lighting effect. I know that making/getting good music is really difficult, but some fitting music would definitely kick it up a notch. Also, I personally feel like the submarine graphic seems a little out of place. Maybe it would fit better if it were animated with a moving rotor and bubbles, not quite sure. But great work overall!

I very like your game, it's... "pleasant" :) Anyway, although there is a lot of game under water, your entry is original, but there should be some liquid music ;D Aach, is there random map generation? I really like it. :)

Dark and scary, like being deep under the earth in minecraft. I won!

This was a pretty neat concept, and that light effect is really cool! The only downside is there's not much gameplay to it; there should be some threat or challenge besides knowing when to turn back.

Loved your game!

I played through the whole thing, maxed out my stats, and found the box. Pretty nicely done. Now that you have the basics, adding a little variety will go a long way.

Very fun and innovative game. The arrow that points back to your sub totally makes the game work. Cool shadows and bubbles.

Solid entry. You established a nice mechanic with balancing cautious exploration with obtaining upgrades in order to go further. Nice lighting effects as well.
