SONAR Fish Hunt

Navigate an underwater labyrinth, within the hull of a submarine and hunt for the giant fish, or become the prey and, eventually, fish food.

This is a simple game of wave survival. Each wave, more and more fish will appear within the maze. Survive as many waves as you can while torpedoing as many fish before you are sunk.

This is what you'll see past the title screen:

MAIN INTERFACE:

Most of the screen is occupied by sonar of your sub. On the right there are torpedo controls. Below, there is hull integrity indicator, and game stats. Number on the left shows frames per second.

You steer your submarine with W/S/A/D/Q/E keys + additional inputs. Mouse is also to be used in game.

W/S - move forward/backwards

A/D - rotate left/right

Q/E - strafe left/right

Spacebar - zoom in mode

Your submarine is equipped by infinite amount of torpedoes. However, it only has 4 torpedo tubes. Once the torpedo is loaded - signified by octagonal button turning red - pressing the octagonal button will launch the torpedo forwards. Reloading will start automatically. Dragging the cursor over a button will show the percentage of load status. Dragging it over the sonar will show the distance from your sub. Speaking of which...

SONAR:

Since you're miles deep underwater, having a convenient windshield isn't exactly an option. The sonar will be your eyes throughout your hunt. Your sub is in the center. The green line originating from it will rotate around the ship, updating your surroundings. The line will change color depending on what information goes back to sub:

Yellow line - sonar ran out of range and detected no obstacle in this facing.

White line - sonar detected an obstacle, be it a wall of standard density, or a moving object.

Red line - sonar detected a sturdy, indestructible obstacle of high density.

TIPS:

- Since sonar updates aren't instant, careful planned moves and reactions to these updates are necessary for prolonged survival. If you stay in place but something appears to be coming closer, the fish found you and you must react before they get you. Look out for irregular shapes.

- Learning the maze may help you avoid getting cornered or surrounded by monsters.

- Your ship can outpace and outmaneuver fish. Run if needed. As the waves progress, fish will become more numerous and faster.

- Terrain that sonar draws as white lines is destructible. Decide whether you wish to keep the torpedoes at bay for fish or you want to dig yourself an escape route.

- Your torpedoes will not conceal your sonar's sight, but it will detect them and draw dots in their positions.

- Good hunting!
