I still dont know the name of a c64 game i played a lot as a kid. You had to move some kind of flying submarine through a maze and if you touch the wall you die. The first few screens you had to fly downwards.
Is it Snare by any chance?
After a long search i remembered that it also could be some game of a magazine disk, then i though it also could be also some obscure german one and looked through an big list of german c64 games and there i found it. Its called Mission Transmiter! It seems to be a really obscure one, no wonder nobody knows that one.

Sadly not :(
This sounds familiar, but I can't find anything about it online! The controls were mostly just up and down, right?

Glad you found it! Unfortunately for me, it doesn't look like the game I remember playing. That one was more of a submarine shape with sideways movement. Maybe with monochrome graphics?
I'm going to have to ask my parents what they remember from those days. All my searches are coming up empty.
It started going downwards, but then also going left and right. It was some kind of maze. When iam back at my parents iam going to look for the disk boxes.
