My Rusty Submarine
What is My Rusty Submarine?
My Rusty Submarine is a 2D survival game about keeping a leaky submarine intact while exploring the ocean depths. Players fuel the engine, align the rudder with the compass, repair damage, pump out water, and can join a friend in local co-op with a controller.
My Rusty Submarine is a survival game set aboard a rusty submarine bound for the deepest ocean. The vessel needs coal to keep moving, a rudder aligned with the compass, and regular repairs for leaks and broken cables. Water must be pumped out, and electricity affects several systems: coal machine, pump, rudder, compass, and engine. The game includes keyboard and gamepad controls, 2 Player Couch Coop with a required controller, and an experimental online multiplayer mode. It was a Global Game Jam 2020 submission. An update adds a frost biome, upgrades, and online multiplayer.
How to play My Rusty Submarine
- Fuel the engine with coal from the coal machine to keep the submarine moving; if it stops at 0kn, the game is over.
- Match the rudder direction to the compass so the submarine travels the intended way.
- Repair leaks and broken cables; turn the electricity off before fixing broken cables.
- Use the pump to remove water from inside the submarine.
- Expect the coal machine, pump, rudder, compass, and engine to stop while electricity is off.

Tips for My Rusty Submarine
- Keep the engine supplied with coal; reaching 0kn ends the game.
- Check the compass before adjusting the rudder to avoid traveling the wrong way.
- Repair leaks before they overwhelm the submarine, and pump out collected water.
- Turn electricity off for broken-cable repairs, but remember that key systems stop working.
- Local co-op requires a controller, so prepare one before starting with a friend.
