Depth Charge

In Depth Charge, a game made for Ludum Dare 48 in 48 hours,  you play as a submarine that recovers undersea explosives left behind for decade.

Use your sonar and boost to navigate the waters and locate unexploded ordnances scattered throughout the map. The deeper you go the more dangerous the explosives are. Be careful picking up the explosives, as any impact too violent will set it off. Bring the bombs back to your ship and make the waters a safer place for everyone!

In the normal mode you have 10 minutes to recover as many explosives as you can find.

In the sandbox mode you have unlimited time and health, so you can just explore the map and play around with the physics.

There are three types of explosives scattered around the map: Naval mines, torpedoes and nukes. You will only find the nukes at the very bottom of the deepest trench. See if you can find one of all of them.

If I had more time I would:

• Add more explosive types
• Flesh out the map
• Add fishes, sharks etc.
• Add upgrade shop

NOTE

If you truly want to judge for the compo, play version 1.0. Version 1.1 does not have more content but has fixed a couple of the issues including the ending, so I would recommend playing it otherwise.
