Oceaner: Sonar Nights - Submarine STG Shmup

Published 2023-06-12



Howdy Community! This is my first Pico-8 game. I'm a new game developer and this is the most elaborate/complete feeling game I've built to date. I totally fell in love with pico-8 and thought it would be perfect for this project.

My band Oceaneer is a concept band about a Submarine crew that in 1979 was trapped in an endless war game within their Submarine's state-of-the-art computer jukebox known as DJ00x. The crew perseveres fighting against Depth Charges, Torpedoes, and digital monsters that eat music (Styloids, Bad Caps, and more) while they desperately work towards the kill screen that will send them home. You can check our music out on Spotify. Please enjoy the game and let me know if you have any feedback. I've still got a handful of features to add as I work towards version 1.0, but at this point, I really enjoy playing the game and wanted to share it.
