Ship in a Bottle

Wow that was an abstract kind of game!

I like the graphics where done on paper and photographed?

Anyways, I couldn't grab any fish :P

@rombus: The gfx was done with freshpaint, which can generate scenes like this.

It's confusing, I don't really understand the game mechanics.

@anayk: this is due to the engine not supporting game mechanics at all. I simply haven't implemented the pieces required for game mechanics.

The graphics are interesting enough. I managed to get a fish specifically by hitting an area of the sea with no fish in it. I kept getting reset towards the center of the screen. And while I'm enjoying the piano track and there's a lot of it, the minor stumbles are very audible and irritating. I suppose they add to the feel of the game in some sense of the word.

I can't honestly say this is a bad game, it feels deliberate but I don't understand to what end.

I can't honestly say I didn't enjoy this, though by all rights there are not enough mechanics for that to be justified.

This distinctly feels like the ending to a Blendo game, and I'm happy that this came to be during a ludum dare.

But commenting on this game at all is difficult.

This is a really cool piece of art. The effects are cool too. Good job!

I'm not really sure what's supposed to be going on here. I can't say I enjoyed it. After a few attempts at catching a fish (they're outside the bottle, i'm in the bottle?), the fish all suddenly disappeared, a few seconds late it said "The End".

It's a very surreal, interesting, fishing experience :smile:

I caught one fish, but this 3d on 2d mapping makes it impossible to guess when you actually catch it, until you do.

Pretty sure I won that game.

Woah. That music and all of that things and stuff... I feel like I've consumed too much energy drinks, forgot about it and drunk a crate of beer.

I can no longer tell what is real.

And what is fake.

What is fish?

Beautiful.

That was really pleasant, though maybe not too much game in there. A cool creation, however you would describe it! Nice stuff.

I thought the game has crashed on the title page just took a long time to sort out what it was doing. Nice entry very interesting art style!

I like that you took a new path and tried to make something unique, which this was, but didnt feel too much like a game, which I supposed it shouldnt(?).

I also like the way you tried to make it feel "artsy" which it was - the background and the piano music - but it was kind of broken by the 3D models made the way they were, it would have been lot better for the rain to be drawn and the fishes, fisherman and bottle as well. Also the ending screen was bit odd (seemed like you were only trying if you could make that cube rotate - didnt see a reason for it to be there)

Well anyhow nice job and thumb up for taking a new approach.

Beautiful! I love it! 5 stars!

Interesting art style. Very impressive. Nice.
