Sonar Scout

Still early days but I took to this game instantly and so figured I’d give my 2 cents. Atmosphere is great, very watery under-the-sea feeling. UI and controls are simple, which is what I like and expect! Good polish, variation in game modes, sometimes maybe a bit too challenging for me personally, but maybe I will unlock some kind of chill mode eventually? For the price (<5€) it’s totally a buy for me.

A charmingly simple game, that I happily spend a late evening on. Disclaimer: I'm friends with the dev team so grain of salt and all that. (Tried to be honest though^^) Game is exactly what the trailers show. Got a bunch of varied levels, and 3 different ship types to play as. (I stuck with the base ship for as much as the game allowed) If you move at a brisk pace a full play-through takes a bit more than two hours, but collectables and online leader-boards can certainly add a bunch of potential playtime. As is, a few rough corners here and there remain, but nothing mayor. The atmosphere and core gameplay are strong enough to carry the experience for it's full length. All in all, well worth giving a try I'd say^^

ENG: It’s a small arcade game with a pretty simple premise: you have to activate a series of beacons by maneuvering different types of underwater vehicles and using a limited resource to gain visibility. As a reward, besides unlocking the next levels, there are also color palettes to collect, and it features online leaderboards for best times on each level. A thumbs up for me, it does the job nicely.

Como premio, aparte de desbloquear los siguientes niveles, también hay paletas de colores y tiene leaderboards online por tiempo en cada nivel. Se va aprobado.

While the game is really atmospheric, I am in it for the leader boards! There is such a nice flow to zooming through the levels quickly in the darkness. Racing through the skull paths with barely any health left always makes the heart race!

Really fun little game. I really enjoyed that most levels introduce a new little feature or challenge. It made every level be a unique experience. Love the music. Reminded me of Subnautica so it definitely gave me those submarine feelings.

This game and the song "Das Boot" by U96, which is based on the 90s movies series "Das Boot", go along very well, would boot again

Really cool game with an art direction and sound design that successfully navigate the fine line between chill and dread. Quite a lot of content, with many levels that all have their own twist to the main game mechanic + a lot of secrets to find too. That game was made with love, and it shows!

A unique game that knows what it wants to be. I already played the demo before buying it and really enjoyed my time there. The minimalist visuals and atmospheric soundtrack make me tune everything else out and focus on my submarine. Sonar Scout feels like a game from the 90s, with its clear intent, difficult levels and mysterious, hostle vibe. I love it! To me, the best feeling is when you make it out with only one HP left, so intense. The scoreboard is also a nice addition, and I bet will stir a fierce competition for the fastest / most efficient routes.
