66,900 nice game guys :thumbsup: Would be a good one to add paddle support to. If you could add reset to reboot too. Perhaps a more dramatic countdown when you are low on time.

 

By coincidence I've just sent in a review of all the submarine arcade games I could find for a future edition of Pro© Magazine, so now I need to update it (sorry whoever is doing the translation for the German edition!)

 

The 5200 joysticks in analog mode work nicely, so I think paddles will too. I don't have any so I've just ordered a pair... it will be fun to play some paddle games again too.

I've realised that the electric eels are magnetic....

 

... they're attracted to my bullets.

 

The eels were originally to be mermaids with the idea being you'd lose points for hitting them. But we could not get a nice mermaid graphic at that size and switched to the eel because it was easier to draw - but with the ship electrocution it turned out better anyway.

Here is an updated version with the following changes:

 

Before starting a game press Select to switch between joystick control (port #1) and paddle control (port #2).

During a game press Option to pause/resume.

Press Esc to abort a game.

Reset will now cold boot.

The sonar sound will start playing quicker once you are down to 30 seconds remaining.

Graphics tweaks to ship/eel electrocution frames.

After first playing Blowsub in an emulator when I played it on my 800XL I discovered it was much more difficult to row the boat/raft with my thumb. Takes forever.

 

Did you consider jiggling the joystick ala Track 'n Field and Summer Games?

 

Great game!

 

Thanks!

Agreed, it is hard work with the joystick trigger - I've updated it so you can row with both trigger presses and (left-right) joystick waggling!
