I wish the accelerator was a little faster and I had more missiles to bomb those subs, If you have read this developer can you give us more missiles, as the player is disadvantaged especially when there so many subs firing missiles. when will there be another update????? ### 5/5 — Possibly my favourite game on PC or iPhone *2010-03-08, version 0* I mistakenly bought "depth charge" a few days ago, thinking it was this game which I remember with fond memories from PC. Sink Sub is, infinately better than "Depth Charge" Sinksub has dozens and dozens of levels, each introducing or combining variations from each progressive level eg: level 10 might feature the floating mines from level 7, and the robot jellyfish from level 9. Also, your boat itself gets extra controls like throwing depth charges far away from the bow and stern for "spreads" of depth charges etc. True to the fantastic PC game with only one slight difference. Moving the ship on the pc version was done with keyboard keys, wheras the iPhone version uses the tilt functionailty to "slide" the ship, which is considerably more difficult to utilise when positioning yourself just millimetres away from bobbing mines. It's not impossible but it's an additional "threat" in this version. Overall, a fantastic game worth several times it's App Store price. (buy it now, before the developers make the price more realistic :-) ) ### 5/5 — おもしろい！ *2010-02-07* 無料版をプレイしてそのまま購入しました。 ### 5/5 — Submariner *2009-09-20, version 0* AWESOME! Graphics, sound, controls are beautiful, great and easy to learn. Hard to believe that much quality on the iPhone screen. You won't regret the purchase. ### 5/5 — Top Quality *2009-07-12, version 0* This is an excellent arcade style game. It is fun, addictive and very polished with some lovely touches and flourishes. This isn't one of those games that you will play for ten seconds and then delete. I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Addicting game *2009-06-02, version 0* This game is one of the best apps I have on my phone ### 5/5 — Amazing *2009-05-12, version 0* This game was great back when it first came out, and to see it given such a faithful revamp is a dream cone true. If you don't buy this, you will be missing out. ### 5/5 — Sink 'em before they sink you! :) *2009-04-26, version 0* Simple and fun game for a perfect price! Move your boat on the surface from side to side whilst dodging the missiles and bombs from the subs below! Your mission, to sink 'em before they sink you! The A$1.19 price-tag was a perfect hit - I had been watching this game with curiosity for a few months and when the price dropped, I bought instantly. Great fun game, thanks guys!!! Bombs away! ### 5/5 — First App download in a while *2009-04-19, version 0* Nice game! First one I've run across in quite a while that I felt was worth downloading. I can see myself spending way too much time with this in the near future. ### 5/5 — Sink Sub Snow Dome *2009-04-01, version 0* Brilliantly done guys. This game is highly addictive, with many levels (50) & 3 levels of hardness to choose from. Graphics are great, Clasic game from the past with the i phone modern day tilt function to move the ship instead of the old joystick make it feel like your playing with a those old snow domes with items floating around inside. - Great game with hours of fun (& for the price, its worth more than every cent). ### 5/5 — Buy this game! *2009-03-30, version 0* If I had a dollar for every hour that this game had me hooked I'd be a rich man! Great buy, i would definately recommend it. Try the free version if you're not convinced. ### 5/5 — A classic *2009-03-26, version 0* I remember playing this game on it old win95 back in the day. This game is fun and worth the money!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Joe *2016-07-20, version 1.3* This game is fun but freezes constantly. You have to delete it and reinstall and it stops again. Fix it ### 1/5 — NOT WORKING WELL CANT OPEN THE APPLICATION *2014-12-30, version 1.3* NOT WORKING WELL CANT OPEN THE APPLICATION ### 1/5 — :( *2010-12-04, version 0* Way to hard ### 2/5 — Freezing *2009-01-17, version 0* My game freezes after round 11. My ship wont move. Pls fix a I paid for this game. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2009-01-05, version 0* A decent start but it needs at least some upgrades and stuff to unlock. A little better graphics would be welcome too. ### 4/5 — Help *2024-08-15, version 2.1* How do I get the bombs to come out of the back of the ship instead of the front?? What are the controls for this thing when all I have it a touch screen? On the computer there were buttons to push. Guess I’m old ### 4/5 — So Far So Good *2010-04-23, version 0* I've been playing this game for about an hour or so and I like what I've seen so far. The tilt control is very good, IMHO one of the best use of it so far. You can hold the iPhone/Touch at any angle and moove the boat around. Tapping to fire us fairly easy. The game gets harder as you go along the levels and there is a save feature which is nice. All and all worth the $.99. But I'm not sure I'd pay more than $1.99 for this App. If anything changes good or bad I'll update my review. ### 4/5 — 途中ですが *2009-09-19* 現在49面をクリアーした所です。慣れればどんどんクリアー出来ますが、最後になると目が離せなくなります。 ### 4/5 — A good old favourite *2009-07-30, version 0* I have played this game for different OS's over a few years.Its faithful to it's original format with some interesting add ons.Some levels are quite tricky and I have yet to get by level 11 for easy or medium. -but I am sure I will get there.Good game. ### 4/5 — Wish you could save! *2009-04-06, version 0* Great fun! Intuitive controls. Would give it five stars if you could save your progress before exiting the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Always a favourite *2021-04-16, version 2.1* Anders has produced gold with SinkSub, played it for hours on the PC, never got past L49 though 😀 Nice to see it back, well done (Martyn, QBSoft) ### 5/5 — 1st Class Game *2020-11-24, version 2.1* Excellent game ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2020-09-29, version 2.1* Used to play this for hours on my old iPod touch! So pleased to see this still on the App Store and optimised for new iPhones! Would 100% recommend! Very simple by highly addictive! ### 5/5 — Shiver me Timbers!!!! *2014-04-27, version 1.3* Well I've got to say an old classic game done extremely well, well done..Great sound effects, great game play and challanging. Awesome, got to give it a try, and join the battle againsts the subs. ### 5/5 — One Minor Issue *2012-07-05, version 1.3* I really like this app and have played it for years with one minor issue. In the heat of the game you sometimes tap on the pause button in the right hand corner. It you dont hit it the right way you sometime restart the whole game and lose all your points. I hate this. Please move this button to the bottom someplace as we never put our fingers down there. ### 5/5 — Oy oy! *2011-11-16* Super !! Mon shareware prefere d il y quinze ans sur Smartphone! Ya un tonus et un stress vraiment delicieux, et une super difficulte. Le coup du tactile s adapte pas mal du tout pour le controle de la distance du tir. Super jeu voila tout **Developer response:** Thanks, please check out the newest 2020 version, many improvements! :) ### 5/5 — More levels needed *2011-06-17, version 1.3* Can you plz add more levels, 50 levels have become easy now ### 5/5 — Easy to pick up, challenging to master *2011-03-18* This game has a nice learning curve: you can enjoy it when you first start playing it, and it also rewards skill as you get better. Nice implementation of the iPhone's control capabilities (tilt, swipe, etc.). **Developer response:** Thanks Mark, please check out the new version recently released (2020). ### 5/5 — Cooles Retrogame *2010-11-15* Erinnert mich extrem an ein Spiel auf dem Amiga 500. Schön gemacht. Leider ist man schnell durch. Ich habe die 50 level in 20 min durch gehabt. ### 5/5 — Extra *2010-11-06* Très bon jeu , addictif .... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
