I like the feeling of the game, but the idea is not that innovativ - or its just not finished the way you wished it to be. Overall a fine game for the compo to play.

A super simple and pretty fun little game.

A cool compo to play, it seems a bit unfinished but the overall atmosphere is lovely also love the graphics

One of the strongest side of the game sound/audio but there ise no rating for that why? I think you should open it.

Really @scienitive ? I am no sound maker and barely put together that music. But I am so glad you liked it.

Thank you very much for your entry - I hope you had great fun making it :smile:

Cute game :smile: lacks a bit of depth maybe but seems well polished :thumbsup_tone1:

I hope you'll drop by mine and give it a spin :wink:

Nice little game. I agree with @scienitive, the music is great :)

JoeDev27 Apr 2021, 11:53

Quite a fun little game! The music was quite unsettling but in a fun way, and I enjoyed dodging and weaving through the fish and managing my oxygen. Good job on the compo!

Simple little game, enjoyed playing! :)

The art is simple and good for the game. Gameplay mechanics function well. Also, the music is oddly good!

Some things I noticed:

I'm not entirely sure if it was intentional, but I could enter the next level even if I wasn't on the surface by pressing X. Also, the hitboxes for the red fishes were sometimes a bit weird, but that wasn't that big of a deal.

Anyways, it's a fun quick game! Quite similar to our entry! Nice job!

Thanks @fingamer for the feedback.

Quirky little game. I had fun teaching those fish a lesson.

I liked the ambiance of this game, very fun to play! The music fits surprisingly well to the game, very cool to see this kind of polish for a compo entry. Good job !

Rocks and the guy hovering above ground? Bad and annoying music. (A turn off music option?) Gfx are all over the place - like they aren't fit together. (Loved the eyes on the fish though.) Couldn't see the deeper part in it.
Also I saw a fish swimming backwards.

Hay @rawbits thanks for the feedback.
I didn't get the 'the guy hovering above the ground' thing, the guy is in water so its just bound to hover i guess.
Music isn't my thing but i am glad you said something about it, its an area to learn more in it.
Thanks for eye thing though.
Deeper is what you should go in water in order to get the stones ( resources ).

Overall thanks for the feedback, its always good to go know all these things.

Nice work! I enjoyed playing. Though the game mechanics are quite simple, it's quite polished for a compo submission, and the "score" from not taking the friendly fish out is a neat dynamic. The music is a bit quirky, but I think it fits pretty well and is a cool addition.

On the other hand, the camera follows a bit too far behind the player. It's a nice effect, but it's quite hard to see what's ahead (also, the game's resolution is larger than my screen, so I couldn't see anything below me).

Hay @generic-games nice to have your feedback.....
The camera thing was not intentional, i made it to strictly follow the player after a threshold but that threshold was accidentally set too large.... :(
Also, sorry for that resolution thingy, i should have considered it....
But i will keeps these things in mind, thanks again 😊

It's a cute game. The music is a bit repetitive but I find it overall well polished considering the short amount of time. Nice one!
