### 2/5 — Poor Response

*2025-10-27*

The ability to aim the torpedoes is spotty at best. Movement of the phone usually provides inconsistent response on the screen. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2023-12-16*

The timer gives you a couple of minutes play, then whatever happens you are sunk by depth charges. It could be a fun game, but the timer makes it completely pointless and boring.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2014-03-07*

Does not look like anything in the screen shots. Waste

### 3/5 — Interesting

*2014-01-07*

For a few minutes

### 2.0 — 2014-10-25

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

The game will now go into "overtime" mode when time runs out.  You can keep playing until the next hit from a depth charge, although ships and depth charges will continue to speed up.  (Thanks to Max O for this suggestion!)

68 new enemy ships of the IJN, Kriegsmarine and Regina Marina to sink.

Some adjustments to ship speeds and exposure times for play balance.

### 1.0 — 2014-01-06
