Reef Rush

Great game! It's a really cool idea and I love the ocean theme.

I thought the art was great, the models were very well done. I also like the variety in the corals, it was a nice touch that added a lot of life to the game.

I had a lot of trouble getting past 3 minutes because the sharks were very challenging to deal with. It's hard to figure out that a shark exists until after it has already attacked you, perhaps some sort of alert system would be nice so the player would have a little bit of time to react.

Adding bullet particles to the game would also help it feel a lot more interactive. Without anything shooting out of the gun, it didn't feel very immersive to me.

As a side note, the tutorial at the beginning was a really nice touch, it helped me jump into the game instantly!

Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and a fresh interpretation of the theme. Great work! :)

Interesting idea. I love the setting and enjoyed the art style. But the game desperately needs mouse sensitivity adjustments.

Good job! I like the idea but I will suggest some changes:
- I loved the tutorial, but let me pass the "pages" with a used button in-game such as space or the mouse click, it is weird to use the Enter and then to switch to ASDW+mouse
- There are TOOOOOO much sharks at the beginning, it will be awesome if the ratio is increasing depending on the amount of plants in your reef
- as @quichi pointed, having an alert systems for the sharks before they get you it will be awesome and particles will help a lot feel more the environment

Awesome job in art!! And I love that the LD46 theme applies twice to this game as you need to save yourself and the reef xD

Good ambient, i like this low poly art, nice idea. But too difficult too fast. I planted my plancton, and the entire attack me suddenly ! And my gun shooting like a toy. this non stop action is totally contradictory with the peace music of the ocean.

love the art.

Great mood, nice graphic, but you should scale the difficulty less faster, great entry overral

No sure if intended but I really enjoyed the "..If it hits zero, you die, and lose" ! :smile: . I think the spawning of sharks can be a bit overwhelming and I was saddened to find out, I was just a capsule :laughing: . It's a really nice entry!

Fun game! I was confused at first by the shadows, especially from the sharks, and I think you need more sounds for a shark biting me, so I know if something is behind me, and more of a spark when you shoot so I know that something has happened.

Fun game, it's hard to see the shark before they attacks you.

i found fun the game and i liked the art

Sharks, underwater.. oh god I think I had hydrophobia... Anyway, the game sets up perfect atmosphere and gameplay, the difficulty was just right, good job!

Nice job! I like that the setting is something we dont see that often. Underwater and protecting a reef that you build is a really good idea. I think there are lots of ways to take this and expand on it in fun ways, so you definitely have a strong base. It was for sure really hard at the start before I realized the spawning was fixed in an order, then it was just about constantly killing the enemies and if I could sneak in planting a plant. But once you planted them all it would just be repetitive killing in the same pattern. Overall good job!

Graphically, very well done, the models are lovely and lit well, you even did waves at the surface! Good job also fitting in instructions and a HUD. Was fun to discover from my shadow that I'm just a cylinder ;-)

Great game! Would be neat if it started off easier and if sharks somehow don't attack from behind you as much (although that would be a lot of spaghetti code), but wow! Great work for a game jam.

Fun highscore game. Expanding your reef while fending off sharks was pretty enjoyable! Although, I kept getting hit from behind when sharks would sneak up on me. An audio queue for approaching enemies would probably help in that regard, but otherwise, great game!
