Lots of fun doing this one. From the five hours poured into the jellyfish sprite to recording audio for fx.
There are lots of creatures Under the Sea having fun. You know what I mean with fun. As in reproducing. Now Summer is coming and jellies are preparing a new invasion. Help them increase their numbers! Push same-color jellies together, but keep different-color jellies apart, or they'll fight to death.
You'll probably end up rage quitting, because things get out of hand when numbers raise. But it's fun for a while : ) Enjoy!
Note: I moved links from Dropbox to my own server. The source code is left in dropbox to prove it was there before the deadline ;D
The swipe mechanic is quite annoying when playing with a mouse, perhaps a two click method of: click-to-select-jelly + click-to-send-jelly-over-there would be a bit nicer. Otherwise, I found it amusing. My blues won...
The Windows version gives an error(Unable to load mono library from "C:/LD29/UnderTheSea_Win/UnderTheSea_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 126).) But the web version worked fine(once I figured out how to move the damn fish =P) I really love your jellyfish sounds.
Good game! The time you invested in graphics and sound effects has paid off. I managed to get 2437 points with the web version. While playing I noticed two bugs. One time a jellyfish swam out of the water into the air and vanished at the top of the screen. The second bug occurred after using the retry button. Once mated, the jellyfish no longer move and can't be used to mate or fight with other jellyfish. After reloading the page the bug is gone, until starting a new round with the retry button again.
Detocroix:, it's the score :m It should go up when jellies mate! (It does in my browser!) :m There's a bug, it should increase in 100s, but it works...
Seraphina: I didn't try the windows or mac version. I hoped it would work out of the box :(
Graf_Grun: you are right! I think I designed control with a touch interface in mind :)
Really nice! I agree with the comments about the controls being a bit awkward on mouse though. The jellyfish animation was definitely worth the work :)
This is extremely fun. I love how they sometimes clump together and have an orgy of love and hate. The perfect mixture of oddity and challenge. You were right to throw away "my" idea and go with this one. Thanks for making this.
Nice concept, beautiful art, it seems so alive, i love the jellyfish animations. Just a quick not, I had trouble finding the start button, it might seems stupid but I almost quit the game. Otherwise great job :)
I ended up with so many jellyfish that they were making love and fighting at the same time and then I was too late to take a screenshot because the game over screen clears all of them. Wish there was a better feedback on the swipe with a the mouse, but overall it was fun and functional.
Managed to bang together 10 couples. Cool entry! I wish the crab was animated too! :D
