The idea seemed really fun, I liked that you put a low FOV to add to this underwater effect. But Im stuck after I drew some mustach and a hat, apparently I need to see from a different angle but I cant figure out where :/

This was fun. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. Good job.

Like a barber wields the power to cut others hair but their own, so do you wield the power to make hats for others... but not yourself. also hehe bouncy clownfish

Not sure if there's more to the gameplay than what I saw/worked out, but I love it. I wish there was a jump/dance action so I could vibe with the music even harder. A beautifully peculiar little world.

I did encounter one possible bug - when resuming the game (the web build), I seemed to be stuck moving left

I just wanted a hat T^T

This game looks fantastic, it's fun, the art style is incredible and the surrealism tones are so good! It works well as a short jam game but I think it has potential as a longer and more round up

I really liked the game, it's very pretty and fun, good work! I find very slow movement in game little annoying but it somehow even complements the limited space theme. As for me, the atmosphere is slightly claustrophobic and I like it. And again very good job!

LOVED the cartooney feel to it. Definitely felt the no sleep jamming effect there lol. I feel there's way more stuff that I'm missing. Like... can you find the fishes father or is that just a reference? And what's the jumping for? anything? Overal, very fun silly game ^-^

Lol I love the vibe, kinda creepy at first, when I turn around and see a bloodied paper human, then confusing and disorienting due to movement and finally goofy and groovy when you get closer to music player! (also he/she/they looks evil! xD) I picked up the spray paint can, pressed RMB but nothing happens - so I was confused, then talked to NPC again and saw a new choice pop up. Gave everyone I could a hat :3 Cool graphics there, hehe~!

I think this was a very innovative take on the theme and fit it well! The atmosphere was really fitting, e.g. the music worked really nicely with it all. Good job! :-)
