Delightfully weird, I loved the visuals and music/sound effects. This super low fi aesthetic is so appealing. Nice color palette. The actual gameplay is a bit monotonous but it's snuggled into such a great aesthetic.
Thanks for all the kind words :3 I tried to give the fish fixed positions, but it was to hard for me to realise, maybe i will make an updated version :)
I think the limited palette and game&watch inspired aesthetic was a good design idea, though I don't think it works all that great with the pixel art, as it is two different "grids" colliding with each other.
Gameplay was nice, but maybe there should be more than one fish at once.
One of the weirder ones, but very good game! Addictive music and very oldschool visual are one of the best from whole Ludum Dare. Check my game too: President's bodyguard simulator.
I'm a sucker for Gameboy palettes and Game & Watch games, so I thought the graphics were great. The graphics of the people at the beginning/end with the music gave me an eerie feeling and I don't know why. I would have liked to see a replay/new game option at the end.
Ha ha ha! I love the premise! The way you framed the game with the mother's question, and Patricia's inevitable denial, is priceless. I enjoy game and watch style works, but I think you missed a key factor: lag. Adding a slight delay between keypress and response would make this more authentic.
I love the humour in the game, and I like how challenging it gets once the pace picks up. Great art style (Love the Tiger Handheld/Game And Watch look), and the music is pretty catchy, too! Excellent work.
Nice Game&Watch-like! The setting is quite unusual. :) One thing I noticed is that either I'm extremely unlucky or the fish never goes to the rightmost cat.
Ah, this entry is fun! I admire your devotion to the Game&Watch look and style, at the same time as changing the vertical stretch gives it a certain je-ne-sais-quoi--it looks a bit like a framed digital painting, in a certain light. Great active poses on all of your art, BTW.
You can click on the little image on his itch.io to play (its actually the game).
Maybe it would be better to link to your itch.io site instead of your dropbox folder. Also if you could scale the game up would be nice too.
Props for the music and visuals. Really like this catchy tune and the gameboy-like graphics.
