It looks great. The control choice is interesting but it didn’t work well with my mouse.

Developer

Thank you! I'll check your game too sooner or later.

Yeah, I didn't have time to refactor the movement system in a way that it would be fixed for everyone, sadly. But hope you had some fun. I'll try to fix that problem when the jam finishes.

Waaah what a cute concept! When I saw the red spiral I think a little bit inside of me died. I had a lot of fun playing with my friend -- super cool you implemented a coop even during a game jam!

Developer(+1)

Very glad you liked. Thanks! I'll check your game later too.

The obstacle isn't really doing the most of its job right now, since you can just get through them and lose a bit of speed. I had implemented some upgrades on that in the last build, but I didn't have time to publish it before the deadline sadly :/

Haha, shaking the mouse for movement gets tiring, but for the short length of a game jam game, it makes for a really unique and on theme feeling.  Good job and neat idea!

Developer

Thank you!

Yeah, lots of people saying that the sensibility is kinda low... Oops, i guess xD 

Didn't have time to playtest the movement with more people. I would love to adjust it before the judges rate the game. But whatever, if it's fun i'll take it.

Later I'll see your game too! Thanks again

Amazing game, nice use of the theme, the pixel art was very nice, the sound effects and music was very cool.

Developer

Thank you!

Loved your game too. Both are racing ones so they're kinda of aqua brothers xD

Developer

Hey, musician of the game here! So glad you enjoyed the music! It was so fun to make!!

Submitted(+2)

Very fun to play and very neat concept! My arm hurts though haha

Developer

Thank you! Sorry for burning your arms xD

The movement sensibility isn't fixed for each player, since it depends of each computer/peripherals, but I'll increase it a bit more when the jam is finished, as great part of people are saying that it's kinda hard to move at this moment.

Submitted(+1)

That's good to hear! If you do continue to develop it outside of the jam, I'd like to see a speedrun timer and, to state the obvious, more levels!

Submitted(+2)

really cute game! i couldn't finish the race but i like the art and the mechanic was a fun twist

Developer

Thank you! I'll check your game too.

Could you please give more details about why you couldn't finish the race?

Submitted

i think i went around the full loop - but nothing happened after! i might have taken too long, or maybe missed a turn somewhere

Developer

Weird... When you complete a loop in the scenario, a message should have appeared upside your's fish.Maybe it's a strange bug. If you want to try it out again to see the messages appears, please consider doing it. Thanks for sharing this problem!

Submitted(+1)

i tried it again and got the win message this time! im not sure why the first time it did not work, but i remember i did hit a lot of the red lines in my first playthrough

Developer

Glad you made it! I'll check for this bug again later, when jam finishes.

Submitted(+2)

I liked the concept and the idea, very fresh and fun! Good job,

Developer

Thank you! I'll check your game too as soon as possible :)

Turning is a bit hard, but it's a very fun game!! Hoped to played since the art on discord dropped :D

Developer

Thank you! Good to see you liked it.

The turning being hard is one of the things that increases the fun of the movement mechanic. I don't think it's perfect (don't had enough time to test) and it could be more balanced though.

Submitted(+2)

Cool game. But I did find shaking the mouse to be a little tiring and it did keep me from finishing a race.

Cool design though, and clever attempt at a different control input.

Cheers!

Good luck with the jam.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your honest feedback!

Yeah, the "shaking the mouse" thing is kinda the core game mechanic, but it can be harder to move for some players than for another ones. Of course it is related to each player's setup, but I know it could be a fixed sensibility if I refactor it to a better system.  Sadly, didn't managed time for make it in the jam, but maybe I'll fix it later.

Good luck for you too! I'll check your game too as soon as possible! Thx again :) See ya
