Deep blue is a horizontal shooter by Pack In Video.
The action takes place deep under water and the players takes control
of a a cute robotic fish swimming his way through
four long and perilous levels. His mission is to rid the oceans of the
evil fishy monsters that invaded it. Squadrons of fishes and other sea creatures appear
at random and attack our robot-fish. As expected, a bigger enemy awaits for
him at the end of each stage - from large fishes to giant gelly fishes and
mean nautiles. One originality of the game is its life system - the
robot-fish has only one life which is symbolist by his eye's color. If they're
green then he's in good health, red and then things can soon turn bad. His
life also automatically recharge as he stands still. Blue fishes scattered
around each stage drop bonuses and give out fish extra health, speed power
or various new weapons such as Light Bullets, Swirl Cutters or
Bubble Beams.

Deep blue is a terrible game. First of all, it is really
slow and the playability is awful. Levels are boring and really
frustrating - I am sometimes wondering if the enemies are not
just attacking at random. I tried to finish it but it loops after
the fourth level - the new stage was called scene A' instead of
scene A but curiously looked identical. I gave up at that
point, if someone has ventured any further in the game, please let me know...
But still, graphics are not too bad
and some bosses are really well drawn. It is a shame,
it could have been a nice game - but don’t be fouled by the screen shots,
it is a terrible shooter.
