About Sinking Feeling

Platform: NES
Developer: Calima (music by Olli Suoranta)
Year: 2017
Genre: Shooter
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

A one-screen submarine game with a darkly comic Cold War story: a bleary crewman is woken for the seventh enemy sub of the week.

You drop depth charges on subs and mines, and later levels add tougher subs. There are joke achievements such as Pacifist, Minesweeper and Flawless Victory, and the game tracks how many you have. Music is by Olli Suoranta.

It was made for the 2016 NESdev Competition and is on the Action 53 Volume 3 multicart, where it is credited to Lauri Kasanen; on that cart it runs in a special mode that needs extra RAM.
