Convoy Attack!! by Chompson

[raw]
made by Chompson for LD29 (COMPO)
It's a submarine game! At least part of it happens beneath the surface of water.

You're the captain of U-XXX. You have received a report - there's quite a few ships moving through your sector. You are to sink them all! Be careful, as it is probably not just small merchants going through.

I have wanted to make a submarine game for quite some time now, so it has been a fun project for me. Hope you enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoyed making it ;)

btw, something I forgot to write in the menu - you can toggle the orders and the map menu by clicking on it

ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION: use your mouse scrollwheel to zoom the camera in or out

This was fun! Those destroyers are little overpowered though, there is no way to hide from them after they have seen you - other than destroying them :)

Great water effect but agree the destroyers are a little too powerful

Fun game. Controls are a bit strange, but the graphics and gameplay were well executed.

Definitely liked the use of the water, however the instructions weren't very clear and I kept getting destroyed before I had a chance to attack.

Had a hard time to find some enemies on my first run, but it improved with extra runs. There's a lot of cooldown with torpedoes, but once you master it there's a chance to kill some enemies.
Water has some nice effects!
Destroyers are overpowered, yeah :)

Well, the destroyers are there to pretty much hunt you down. Nobody said attacking with a submarine is an easy job ;)

I really liked this. Not sure if enemy ships wandering/being lured into mines is deliberate, but it is fun.

Well implemented, nice idea, but I feel the gameplay is alittle bit weird.. too hard to manouver maybe..

Really cool! I wish the controls were a bit more responsive (even if less realistic), and the pacing is a bit slow, although it you could draw out the dramatic tension a bit that last part could be a bonus. Overall one of the most fun games I've rated this Ludum Dare.

Fun little sub game. Definitely fits the theme, and has some cool graphics. The water effects and ship model are especially nice!

I like the graphics and the idea overall but the controls need some work. Good job!

A very solid entry. You really did a good job of creating a realistic feeling to the performance of the sub.

Very fun game. Controls are OK, but destroyers are tough... Really cool mechanics.

The water graphics are good, and the controls are interesting. It would be a lot of fun, but either the controls are inverted, or you programmed it backwards, which led to me running straight into ships while trying to get away from them. It also feels weird when the convoy ships are sitting ducks, and the destroyers are over-powered killing machines. You don't stand a chance if you take on more than two. Though with a little more time and testing, it would have been a great game.
