Lol funny and fun game. I don't know how to properly swim, but what I do is spam every key. The meny music is really good.
Good concept. Lacks a bit of work to make it more fun or engaging, like a score based of how long you survive. Good mechanics on the swimming and I like the use of buttons. Keep it going.
Those are good points. We got a bit bogged down in mechanics and learning Godot for our first game.
I like the score idea, that may have been a more achievable goal for us.
Our original plan was to have the setting change in the background so that it could tell a story and increase engagement.
Funny idea! I had fun flailing about. I was able to keep my head above water for quite awhile and I think its missing a win state, or maybe a best time when you fail. Otherwise its works well as a game that is meant to be funny.
There should be a win state if you survive for three minutes. Although, it's hard to survive that long, so maybe something got broken...
If we had more time, our next goal was to update the art in the parallax background from a small loop to something of a story (a storm rolls in, day/night cycle, fish swim by, etc...) so that it is more clear with the progression.
I mean this is almost impossible to control, but that makes it kinda fun to see if there are any real ways to get good at this!
Yeah, we kept having the difficulty swing back and forth during development. For a while it was way too easy and you could almost fly. We turned down the forces a lot and it got a lot harder, but I think maybe too hard. If we continue on this game we'll be working to balance that.
Funny flailing!
This was the one goal we had time to achieve. I am glad it was funny.
Funny flailing!
I found this so hard! I just ended up mashing the buttons.
Nice art, fun sounds, and incredibly difficult controls (which I assume is the point of this kinda game).
Also, I like the S.W.I.M. controls. ;)

Appreciate the feedback!! :^)
