Good job. The fish movement was the first one that ever actually "nailed it" when it comes to navigating a fish. Good job

Really cool.
That is a lot of toxic waste! I lasted 100 seconds. :x

The gameplay is too basic to me. Also how are you supposed to dodge barrels? They seem to do damage to you anyway. Either via direct hits, or via toxic waste. Also i dont know why, bu i like how the game look, despite not having much going on on screen :)

Nice game, although one of the most depressing LD entries I've played... Art style is great, sound and mechanics - top notch!

Nice job! Loved the 'sunbeams' and I liked that things got harder over time. Good use of sound as well.

Sweet game and it has godrays! :) Ramps up in difficulty pretty fast though.

Nice that the game gets harder with time. Would be nice with a visible timer for how long you have survived. Liked the use of poison. Audio was hard to hear most of the time. Controls were a bit unresponsive, this might have been a theme you were going for to match it with the fish but in that case you should make it more clear exactly why it is happening.

I like the 2.5D visuals: 2D graphics and 3D background. You should have added more stuff to it! Love it overall :)

Great game. Very polished and complete and fun. Nice work on the art too. My highest rating so far for this one.

I can only think of Donkey Kong Country while playing this. DK has ruined swordfish for me forever!

Great job! Love the art. Simple but excellently implemented game play. The fishy movements really added to the atmosphere.

Damn son... u don't try to fish me! I rip that puny line of yours.
GeorgeBroussard29 Apr 2014, 09:06
Loved this. Great movement and controls. Really felt snappy and fun to move around. Great art and sounds. Lotta fun.
Mekuri29 Apr 2014, 20:57
Simple and straight to the point. I love the fact that you can get caught. I actually got caught after 10 seconds on my first try because I swam close to the surface :P - Managed to get a bit over 100 seconds. I liked the graphics, and the game was fun and the controls were just right. Good job.

Very good game! It has an important message wrapped in a playful experience.

nice barrelphysics
Snowflower29 Apr 2014, 22:06
I liked the graphics and sound. I would maybe show the survival timer ticking up while you are playing to reinforce it as a scoring mechanic to keep people going. It was fun to play.

I would try adding a right arrow key double tap to do a short thrust forward, it would make lining up with the fish and then right double tapping into them to lunge forward to 'spear' them a satisfying mechanic.

Very well polished! Altough quite simple, it's really fun and kept me to a point where I couldn't find any more fish...
