More about this game
Your goal is to survive a 120-second dive to the surface. You control a submarine moving across three lanes, constantly losing oxygen at a rate of 0.7 percent per second. You must catch oxygen bubbles to replenish your air supply while dodging mines. As the run progresses, the ocean current speeds up by 22 percent and obstacles spawn up to 25 percent faster. The run ends in success if you survive the timer, or fails if you lose all three hearts or your oxygen meter hits zero.
Tips
- Your bubble shield lasts for exactly 2.6 seconds, so activate it right before hitting a mine to maximize your safe window.
- Prioritize oxygen bubbles over shells, as running out of air ends the game instantly regardless of your health.
- Keep track of the 8-second shield cooldown before moving into a risky lane, as you cannot block hits while it recharges.
Questions
How do I win the game?
You must survive the entire 120-second timer to reach the surface. Keep your oxygen above zero and preserve your three hearts to see the success screen.
What happens when I hit a mine?
Hitting a mine destroys one of your three hearts, triggers a 1.15-second hurt penalty, and instantly drains 8 oxygen. If you lose all three hearts, your submarine sinks.
How does the bubble shield work?
When activated, the shield protects you from one mine hit for 2.6 seconds. After it wears off or absorbs a hit, it takes 8 seconds to recharge before you can use it again.
