This is my entry for the 29:th Ludum Dare. I was only able to work on Saturday since I was busy the entirety of Sunday. Oh well, I hope you enjoy!
The game is about you, the Birdfish. You're the last of your race and have to survive for as long as possible, while taking down as many enemies that you can. Keep an eye out on your water and oxygen!
I really like the core mechanic of this one. The animation on the birdfish is cool and I like the super attack bit (though the super attack should probably drain some more oxygen/water).
When I saw the title of your game, I thought : "Oh no, a Flappy-Bird-like", but in reality I had a lot of fun !I love the mecanics and the use of the theme. (I'm french, sorry for the english mistakes in English ^^)
Well done! I too was expecting a flappy bird game, and it was different from that, reminded me of the game I created for this game :). The mechanic is well thought out.
Wow, that was a really clever mechanic! I had trouble managing so many things at once, though. Keeping a lookout for the water and oxygen and shooting and dodging. Mainly used the x attack, z was kinda pointless. But it was fun!
For some reason the water didn't display for me (running the JAR on OSX) so I found it a bit confusing. Soon got the hang of it though. Cool idea, nice take on the theme.
This is pretty funny, you can do a lot of comedy things with the idea of a form shifting animal, the graphics are nice and clean, the animation is short and accurate, maybe the gravity force between water and air could change, that would make things more interesting.
A very interesting mechanic. Audio would have been nice, it adds a lot to a game. Water didn't seem to render on OS X? It became repetitive after a while, perhaps some sort of upgrade mechanic could have worked.
Really nice for 1 day! I like the idea of balancing the oxygen and water. It feels like the bird and fish sprites were flipped, but that might be intentional. It's a bit primitive and lacks sound and particles, but this can just be attributed to a lack of time. Very nice!
