Oh my god, that squid is some of the most beautiful pixel art I've ever seen 1000/10! What did you use to make it?

Absolutely stellar game right here. Underwater fishy boss rush? Sold! Great art, movement felt spot on, the sound effects were top tier, really enjoyed that SCHING sound when the harpoon was ready and I loved the detail of the harpoons staying in each boss getting more and more punctured, really showed how much you had been hitting it (alongside of course the health bar ;D) Great stuff! (And I love that ending, sweet and creepy :D)

I didn't expect to get accosted by a giant eel right off the bat. So, basically boss fights all the way down, I dig that a lot. The music was good, and I appreciate the muffled "oof" sound from inside your helmet when you get hit. It was simple, intense, and fun. Really cool entry!

The art and sound were so good on this one. I love the adaptive soundtrack and the pixel art is top notch. The AI was really fun and well balanced as well. Great submission

Best game I played in this game jam. Graphics are perfect. Bosses are cool. Good it is possible to recover health. Only thing: Controls are fiddly. I must admit I play normally with controller. For this game twin-stick controls would be perfect.

Great stuff. The sound is great and I love the boss rush feel. Animations are very cool and the ending was surprising and lovely.

So tbh, I wouldn't have actually tried this game out unless I read the comments. The graphics were so good I just assumed it was a narrative game which I tend to avoid. When I found out it was a boss rush, that was what got my attention :)

Very fun experience. Afaict, you're meant to take hits and rely on getting bubbles. For example, I couldn't find a way to dodge the eel at ALL. If that is was indeed an intentional design decision, then I actually think it was a really good decision. It upped the ante on everything and made you feel helpless... as you should against giant leviathans.

Like others have said, this is also the first boss rush game I've ever played in an LD. It must've been difficult to make enough time to craft the quality boss fights. Nice work!

perfect piece tbh! it's fun, the atmosphere is breathtaking, the art is good. The game really manages to make you feel helpless! Congrats!

@2bitcrook Your comment made my entire month. I spend like 2 hours on the "SHING" sound. And our group discussed it for at least 45 minutes. Your comment will be quoted, framed, and mounted on our future dev studio wall, haha!

Absolutely beautiful! I would have loved a dash animation but other than that this is an extremely polished boss rush with very satisfying gameplay. Also honorable mention for the gun charging sfx.

Super difficult and hard to get used to the shooting delay but that also added to the tension and mood which the music really set the mood nicely! The art and boss ai/design was really good too! Awesome work!! :D
