You play a baby octopus that is stuck inside a ship wreck made of moving ring platforms and your goal is to reach the treasure chest in the middle, by jumping from platform to platform and avoiding obstacles on the way. as you dive dipper in to the levels the way out of the maze becomes harder to solve. Mouse left click to jump from platform to platform.
I really loved this, good job! What a great take on the theme. Simple but fun design. I found myself playing multiple levels and the staggered difficulty progression felt really good.
Thank you very much @charlotte-raymond, we are glad you enjoyed it. we will continue developing this game, more level and a mobile version are on their way.
Wonderful game! The art is adorable and the gameplay really fun! It gets harder and harder pretty smoothly and it makes you to wanna play it again! The only problem is that it bugged at one point, when i finished the 5th or the 6th level. Overall, excellent game for real :)
Nice concept, simple but efficient ! Graphics and sound are really cool perfect for the game. Maybe you can add a time to increase the challenge or a scoring system. Anyway great game in mobile style ! Good work !
Thank you guys a lot!!!! it is our first time and we were really excited about the Jam, your opinion is highly appriciated and we are planing to continue devloping the game for mobile.
This could be a whole mobile game, it was fun but I felt it was too easy, maybe scaling a little bit the difficulty in the last levels, but great job, launch it on the play store if you can!
I liked the Puzzles system, I recommend decreasing the resolution that is configured for the game display in the itch, as it ends up cutting a lot of pieces and the person has to keep looking for where the fullscreen button went, I had to reduce it to 70% to make it ideal , but nothing that gets in the way of fun, there should be something more noticeable that should catch the ball, and an answer saying that you have to hit the pass when it is more than once, congratulations again a big hug!
I really enjoyed this game! Also fits the theme well. The early levels are a good introduction to the mechanic so the later ones can be really interesting to play. I'd suggest adding some more details to the rings to make it easier to perceive their direction and velocity.
I could imagine that this concept could also work well with an infinite level, if you want to look into that. Great entry!
Gameplay is nice and its not too repetitive, it is also managable to beat within 10 minutes, exact the right size to rate it appropiatly. The Audio was fitting but it felt a bit empty with just the bubbles and the SFX. Otherwise a nice game!
Thank you Guys for all the kind word, it means a lot for us, @yword great to hear you enjoyed it!!! @tino he is a happy octopus LOL, but sirecely that is what we managed to squeeze in the 72 hours, working on the rest as we speak. @thewustache we do plan to add some ship wreck elements on the ring, and what did you mean exacly for infinite level? sounds interesting. @feraligatr we recived a lot of feedback reagrding the sound, defently one of the first things to fix!
Pretty fun overall but could use a bit of polishing: an ending screen after the last level would be nice as the octopus just got stuck into the treasure for the last level, I thought it was a but. The ability to move around the circle you currently are (with a and d or arrows) would add a bit of energy to the game as waiting for the opening to come back to you was sometimes a bit long when you miss it. Menu music was nice so it's a bit sad to not have it during the game.
Quite a nice result, I loved the graphics and you made a pretty good level design :D
Also, you can add your team members to the author of the game: it will allow them to rate other games to get a better smart balance ;)
What a charming puzzle game. The first few levels were very much the same, but once you added the mines and other lethal obstacles it really came together. Pretty solid art, decent sound effects - all that was missing was some music.
I wonder if there's a more in-theme solution for the black circles, maybe some kind of whirlpool effect, but it's hard to give critiques other than that. Good job!
Sweet game! The puzzles are well thought out :) The only thing I was missing was an end screen or something similar when you finished the last level. But nevertheless, well done!
@spice-cabinet@merpui@flaterectomy@edalbung thank you guys for the feedback, very glad you enjoyed our game, we working as we speak on a newer version and that will be availble on app store as well, thanks to all your commants we know were to put our focus.
@vivien-fargette thanks for the tip regarding the group members.
The character design is super cute! The game design very well-rounded! I like how each level fits into the screen, every time you know where to go, the structure is the same, but the layout is always different. The idea to add a pink sphere to deviate player movements from going only straight to the center to make him go somewhere else first is a fun and easy to digest deviation. Overall a very polished and pleasant experience)
Love the artwork! Very vibrant. The game is fun to play and I like the difficulty progression. Excellent use of the theme as well. One suggestion I have is I think collecting the pink orb should make the boundary disappear rather than let you pass through it.
I ran into a bug where once I hit the chest the player jittered back and forth and the level wouldn't end. Not sure which one it was because I couldn't back out but I'm attaching a screenshot if it helps.
Our first piece of advice: Please please PLEASE put screenshots of your game on your game page! Y'all have a very cute game on your hands, and more people need to see it! :slight_smile:
The game itself is also very fun! It's a super unique premise while at the same time being nice and simple to understand. I think y'all deserve more attention for this one.
Same as @dani-tufeld said, It's great to see all the comments and feedbacks, we study and develop alot during this beautiful event, and we appriciate and thank you all for playing our game and leave us some comments so we can continue and upgrade the game, This is a great journey of fun and creation.

Thanks again!!!
How does the game end? I don't know if it is a bug, but on one level the octopus kept touching the treasure but did not pass to the next level.
Glad to ear you enjoyed it!!
Cheers
very happy to hear you enjoyed it!!!
Some nice ocean style chill music would be perfect.
I guessed from previous comments that it was the end when my little octopus started being way too happy about his treasure :p
I could imagine that this concept could also work well with an infinite level, if you want to look into that. Great entry!
