Easy to play with very simple smooth controls and overall joy from exploring! ?

I love this little gem, it's the ONLY undersea treasure hunting, boss fighting, submarine game in full 3D that I've seen period. But bad control schemes have destroyed the playability of even the best games. Pair that with the game freezing up sporadically forcing me to wait for a couple minutes for it to unfreeze every time it happens, which wouldn't be bad except it happens way too much. Back to the controls though. Turning or diving/surfacing requires you to press anywhere on the screen and as well as being able to maneuver it also starts the sub moving forward, max upgrade means you move crazy fast in tight areas. Which isn't the only problem, there is no way to ease into a direction to make the sub turn that direction slowly, once you move out of the dead zone it starts turning equally fast. This NEEDS changed SOON, not just for better control but also for more realism and enjoyment. As it is the game feels like too much of a battle to control the sub that it's not worth playing. To improve the game here's my suggestion: ONE slider for speed, that can be set in the middle to stop, forward in many degrees to make the sub move forward at any desired speed, and have the same on the bottom of the slider to make the sub move backwards at any desired speed. Also the slider should only move when the player moves it, not like some that return to center. Or maybe even a toggle to make it reset when let go. Just as importantly the maneuvering control needs to be able to register small inputs so that maneuvering isn't a burden. Lastly the freezing needs addressed, it's not as big an issue as the controls but it is important.
