The music is cool, nice job! :)\r\rIt would be nice to be able to press a button like 'H' to temporarily pause and review the controls. They are fiddly, more so than a normal FPS-style system, but I imagine that's on purpose.\r\rThe first time I found a treasure chest I couldn't figure out how to pick it up and just tried driving near it, but I seemed to have gotten it afterwards, so it must have worked. Is there a notification sound or indication when it happens?\r\rNeat atmosphere. Overall the walls and controls counteract that a bit though."},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"10217","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:31am","epoch":1398655560,"text":"I spent the first 10 minutes just spinning around crazily!\r\rAt first I was like "eugh" but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun!

The purpose? To find a ton of long-lost pirate treasure! Scattered throughout the underground oceanic caverns are 7 chests of gold, can you find them all?\r\nThe controls are rather complex, so make sure to pay special attention to the control screen when it pops up before you start playing.\r\nPlease note that colliding with walls can cause some... problems, and you may have to be a bit forceful with the controls to recover!\r\nI used the Abundant-Music.com music generator for the soundtrack, so it is still within the rules. Sounds pretty good for a generator!\r\nLINUX AND OSX VERSIONS ARE UNTESTED HAVE FUN :D\r\nEDIT: 9:16PM PST, just reuploaded my webplayer because it wasn't functioning.\r\n\r\nIf webplayer doesn't work, please try refreshing! Thanks.","title":"Submersion"}
