In this game you play as a submarine trying to make it home as it is lost. The Crusty Sub is little and not working very well as it has taken some damage while trying to make it through a mine field. There are many dangers in the sea and one of the greatest one, besides mines, is the mean red fish. This fish is fast, tenacious and it is poise to get the Crusty Sub. As the submarine operator, you need to avoid this fish at all cost, as it will take the most points out of your protective armor. There are treasure coins scattered around the sea, try collecting them so you can increase your score and have a way to use them for repairing the Crusty Sub. .
