Made with Godot, Audacity and GIMP. All sounds and graphics by me. Yes, I really hit my face to produce the slapping sound...

Hilarious concept, the fish art really adds to it. The meaty slap sound is sastisfying.

I slapped some fish, and I don't regret it for a moment. Good job.

This was funny. I have no idea how the slapping works (who is doing the slapping? The worm? How does he reach?) but it was a nice balance between avoidance and slapping.

I think the hitboxes are off for this kind of precision game. I was eaten by a fish that I swear was a few pixels away from me. Not a huge deal, but I think you could increase the size of the main character, make the main character's hitbot smaller than the graphic, and increase the hitbox of the pickups larger than the graphic to compensate for the smaller player hitbox. Then getting the items is a little easier (which is satisfying) and you can skirt your way past the fish without dying (which is also satisfying)

Nice work

Fun and Silly entry :smile:

Like the slap sound!

Sometimes the small hit boxes made it hard to slap a quick moving fish

Gameplay was simple, but effective and fun. I liked the slapping sound a lot. The art was pretty goofy, but fit the tone of the game quite well. I think my favorite part is that the cursor is a little hand that 'slaps' when you click.

I was going to comment on how satisfying the slap sounds. Then I read the rest of your description. Way to give up your face for the love of the game! Well done in creating an amusing, slapstick game in 48 hours!

Love the humor and hope you didn't slap yourself too hard when making your slap sound effect :)

It seems though that I can have Walter Wormington move offscreen and never be attacked by any fish there. Adding some boundaries to the game would pervent me and others from cheating. Overall a nice simple and funny game.

This was very funny :joy: loved the slap sound effect and the idea of just slapping some fish around to protect a worm. Cute game and make me laugh!

The slapping fish sound coupled with the 2 frame animation of hand slappage produces infinite LOL's. Great job!

Fun concept ! (and nice slap FX :wink:)
The game is a little difficult for me (I try to play with mouse only), a faster worm could help :)
I'm slapping every fish but it's hard to get the points :smile:
Good job !

I had a lot of fun with this one! I like the fish slapping sound effect, ha! There really isn't much too the game, but for a game made within 48 hours, it gets the job done.
