Getting attacked from all sides while only being able to dodge some projectiles while fighting others could have been interesting, but not in this implementation.

I do think this looks fine. The contrast between the darker blue sea and the teal like blue sky was pretty nice, but the movement of the sub is pretty whatever. But it's the sound that makes this game so bad. The individual sound of the guns and shots are bad enough, but God help you if you hear them all at once. They just needed to balance the volumes a bit better and maybe I could have given it that extra half-star, but legitimately makes the game nearly unplayable. And even if you did mute it, you left with a boring typically dodge and shot game but underwater and with less interesting movement.

3.8/10
